The Final Story of Miss Weird

"Ji Ying..."

She appeared again.

Is this an illusion this time?

"I found the puppet, let's go kill it together."

Ji Ying reached out her hand to Luo Ling, her calm eyes were so familiar, as if in Luo Ling's memory, her gaze would always be the same, even when she was eating the performer's head in the underground cave full of corpses.

"Kill? Me?"

Luo Ling took a step back.

She had deeply realized that the Puppet Rumor was not something she could deal with at the moment. Even just the "eggs" that it differentiated into to accumulate power had already consumed all her strength.

"That's right, only you can kill Puppet Yao." Ji Ying said, "Come here, come with me..."

不 ...

"Are you scared? It's okay, I'm here."

wrong...

She saw Ji Ying laughing, with the corners of her mouth splitting all the way to her ears.

A row of sharp and twisted teeth, stuck to the poor flesh and blood by hyphae, are placed in a place that can barely be called a mouth.

The noisy voices fell completely silent at this moment. Luo Ling turned her head and saw that everyone was looking at her.

Everybody was laughing.

"bring it on..."

Run away.

Luo Ling didn't hesitate at all, she turned and ran away.

But Ji Ying's voice was like a shadow, following closely behind her, neither far nor near, plain and clear.

"Come here... Luo Ling... come to me..."

Avoid the crowd and escape from Ji Ying.

This was the only thought left in Luo Ling's mind. She didn't know how much time had passed or how far she had run. But when she came to her senses, there was no one around her and the ghostly voice like a nightmare had disappeared.

Finally...got rid of it?

sleepy...

Luo Ling raised her head and found that she had unknowingly returned to a place she was most familiar with.

Family.

My sister is in the house not far ahead.

The aroma of food has wafted over. Through the window of my house, I can see my sister busy at work.

Even now, Luo Ling felt inexplicably at ease.

"I am back."

Pushing the door open as usual, Luo Ling leaned against the wall tiredly.

"I'm home."

The elder sister came over, took Luo Ling's schoolbag considerately, and helped her walk to the dining table and sit down.

"very tired?"

My sister's gentle voice is as always.

"Ah."

Luo Ling nodded sleepily.

She forced herself to raise her eyes, and it seemed as if there was a gray fog in front of her eyes that would never dissipate, covering her vision.

Even her sister, who was standing right next to her, couldn't see her face clearly.

"If you're tired, just take a good rest."

My sister said this and started laughing.

Luo Ling suddenly had a bad premonition.

No.

No no no...

White mycelium.

Pull away slowly.

My sister's smile was so bright that it reached her ears.

The table full of fragrant food turned into dried bones and rotten flesh.

"I will always be by your side, sis...I love you."

"No!"

Luo Ling sat up suddenly, his back covered in cold sweat.

She was breathing heavily, and when she turned her head she saw the burning pupils of the person in the mirror.

At this moment, Luo Ling was lying on the bed, and the sky outside the window was a little pale.

Everything she just went through...

It seems like, just a dream?

Yes, it was a dream.

Even though it had been about a week since the incident, Luo Ling still couldn't forget it and would dream about some of the horrific scenes from time to time.

Or maybe Ji Ying, who turned into an "egg", tried to devour herself, or Erza and the others were dragged into the bottomless abyss by the puppet rumor and were completely dominated by them, but the most terrifying thing was still today's nightmare.

This was the first time she dreamed of her sister.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ling?"

I heard my sister's anxious voice and the sound of footsteps walking up the stairs from outside the door.

She pushed open the door, still wearing an apron, and seemed to have just been preparing breakfast.

"No, it's okay..."

Luo Ling turned her face away slightly, trying to hide her strange pupils.

"Is it a nightmare?"

The sister came closer, and Luo Ling subconsciously tried to avoid her, but was still buried in her arms.

"Really? You're already so old, Xiao Ling." Her sister gently touched her hair and said softly, "Don't be afraid. Dreams are all fake. They are the opposite of what they actually are."

"Um..."

Luo Ling responded softly.

Why did she subconsciously resist just now...

Do you think your sister will be a monster like the one in your dream?

...Is this possible?

Feeling her sister's soft embrace and the faint body fragrance lingering around her nose, Luo Ling reminded herself more than once not to fall into this weird cognition.

But...now, she was really scared.

When she was in Baiyan Village, Luo Ling stopped herself from thinking in this direction more than once, but now she could no longer suppress such thoughts.

Now is the best opportunity to be sure.

Luo Ling had been keeping the dagger left by Ji Ying hidden around her waist. At this distance, she could confirm it completely by simply pulling it out and gently cutting her sister's skin.

Do you want to do this?

If so, what should she do?

If not, what should she do?

In any case, it was hurting her closest sister.

Luo Ling's fingertips touched the icy coldness on her waist that penetrated into her bones. She only needed a slight movement to completely solve these troubles.

"Xiao Ling... you're still scared." At this moment, the elder sister chuckled and said, "After so many years, you haven't changed at all. When you're scared, you always like to bite your lower lip... Oh, why is it bleeding?"

The sister seemed startled and quickly loosened her arms. She raised her hand with concern and wiped the blood from Luo Ling's lips with her fingers.

"Blood..."

Luo Ling stared at her sister's fingers.

Not her blood.

There seems to be a very fresh wound on my sister's finger.

"Oh, you found out. I'm also a fool." The elder sister smiled and said, "I accidentally cut my finger when I was cutting ham this morning. It's really..."

It's my sister's blood.

It's flesh and blood...not mycelium.

Luo Ling put his hands down and felt a lot more relaxed.

Very good, she didn't need to confirm it.

A sister is a sister, she is her sister, not some monster...

very nice.

"There's no need to make that expression. It's just a small cut. I'll be sad if you react like that." Su Wan tapped Luo Ling's forehead, but the action was a little intimate.

"No, I just think... my sister is so nice."

Luo Ling hugged her sister gently again, and her movements became much more relaxed.

"Xiao Ling, you really are... Well, you just woke up, wash up and come down to have breakfast." Su Wan pinched Luo Ling's cheek, "Today is your birthday, I promised you before, today my sister belongs to you completely."

She took out a few big red bills and waved them in front of Luo Ling, with a gentle smile on her lips, "You can do whatever you want, I still have a lot of money."

Birthday...

It seems to be about this time.

In fact, even Luo Ling herself couldn’t remember clearly that she was an orphan before, and it was her sister who regarded the day she was adopted as her birthday.

At this time every year, the two sisters would eat a bowl of longevity noodles together, and the birthday would be over.

However, perhaps because Su Wan felt that she had too little time to accompany her sister, after Luo Ling "recovered from her illness", she said that she would wait until Luo Ling's birthday to take a day off, so that at least the two sisters could have some beautiful memories worth recalling.

So many things happened during this period of time that Luo Ling had almost forgotten about this matter. Unexpectedly, her sister still remembered it and even set aside some money for it despite her financial difficulties.

"I... um, okay."

Luo Ling nodded slightly. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, I still have a thousand yuan in my hand..."

She didn't dare to take out all her money directly. Even though she spent a lot last time, she still had more than 40,000 yuan in her hands.

But this huge number was a bit too much for my sister to accept.

"Ah?" Su Wan showed a slightly surprised expression, and then seemed to have thought of something. She half covered her mouth in fear and asked tremblingly, "Xiao Ling... where did you get so much money from?"

"It's a new subsidy for poor students approved by the school," Luo Ling lied without changing his expression, "The head teacher knew our family's situation and gave me an advance."

Luo Ling has always received subsidies for poor students from the school, but it is not much, and most of it is used to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees.

"Is that so... That's right, Xiao Ling is very well behaved, don't worry, sister." Su Wan seemed to be relieved. She stood up and patted her apron. "Okay, come down to have breakfast later, and then we'll set off."

"Ah."

After watching her sister leave the room, Luo Ling turned her head and looked at the floor-length mirror next to her.

The dark gold color in the pupils has dimmed, leaving only a little inconspicuous red, and the green scales on both sides of the temples seem to have faded a lot. The influence of the evil spirit is gradually disappearing, but there are still some deep-rooted traces left.

"You should put on your contact lenses first."
