Chapter 027: Complete the mission requirements
While Lin Xi was in a daze, time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was time for Dad to get off work. At 5:30, the door was pushed open.
Dad changed his shoes in the hallway and walked in. Mom also brought the dishes to the table. Suddenly, all five of us gathered in the living room. Lin Xi stood up, ready to eat, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Lin Xi didn't notice it at first, but the floor beneath her feet suddenly changed, becoming softer, and her feet sank a little. Shen Sang Ning appeared beside Lin Xi the first moment. She didn't land firmly on the ground, but instead floated behind Lin Xi.
Her tentacles wrapped around Lin Xi's neck, but her head was raised forward, looking at the five people in the room.
Yes, five.
Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters, and the younger sister who suddenly appeared.
Lin Xi had no idea where her sister had appeared from, but the people in the livestream had discovered her whereabouts through screenshots, screen recordings, and slow-motion playback. She had emerged from the incredibly narrow gap between the TV cabinet and the wall.
After being slowed down sixty-four times, everyone could see clearly that she was like a piece of paper that could not be thinner, emerging from the gap, and then expanding as if it were inflated, returning to its normal size.
After figuring out what was going on, the audience in the live broadcast room posted comments one after another:
[No, the way my sister appeared was a little too disgusting.]
↘
What does she want to do?
[I don’t understand, but I always feel that she is not holding back. ]
In reality, the younger sister didn't have any good ideas. She stood up and said to everyone, "Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister, I'm the younger sister! I am! She's the fake one!" As she spoke, she pointed at Lin Xi.
At the same time, many tentacle-like things sprouted from the ground, clinging to the calves of everyone present. Except for Shen Sangning, who wasn't tied up, because she was floating in mid-air, and the tentacles that were clinging to her were suppressed by an invisible force, unable to extend at all.
But Lin Xi wasn't so lucky; she was caught by the tentacles. Shen Sang Ning was a little anxious. She tried to reach out and pull the tentacles off Lin Xi's legs, but was rejected by Lin Xi. Lin Xi grabbed Shen Sang Ning's hand and pointed at her sister: "Wife, kill her."
Lin Xi's order was absolute to Shen Sang Ning. The moment Lin Xi finished speaking, Shen Sang Ning started to move, flying towards her sister like a black line. However, her mother's long snake neck stretched out, trying to block Shen Sang Ning.
Shen Sangning froze in mid-air. She still remembered Lin Xi's words about not eating them for now. She looked back at Lin Xi, unsure what to do. But perhaps because Lin Xi was human, she wasn't as immune to the strange notion of "home." The tentacles quickly clung to Lin Xi's body.
Shen Sang Ning became even more anxious and wanted to turn back to save Lin Xi as soon as possible.
Lin Xi saw the smile on her sister's face, and at this moment she understood the purpose of her sister's appearance. She wanted to drag everyone down with her. Lin Xi had encountered a situation before where when there were more than five people at home, it would cause a backlash from the family. When Shen Sang Ning hid, the family stopped moving.
The younger sister also knew this, so she deliberately chose to show up when everyone was there, with the purpose of letting her family deal with her.
Because I am an outsider, my parents will definitely think that my sister is a member of the family and will spontaneously protect my "sister". However, because my family must get along well, I can't do anything to them for the time being. If I fight against my family with my own strength, as a human, I will definitely not be as good as my sister.
The younger sister was also betting that Lin Xi’s patron saint, Chen Sang Ning, was not that strong, and that she would be tripped up by her parents and would be stretched to the limit.
In fact, Lin Xi admired her sister. Anyone who dared to gamble with their own life was a warrior. But Lin Xi also gambled, and she only bet on one thing, and that was Shen Sang Ning.
She believed in Shen Sangning. Even if Shen Sangning became a ghost, she would still be a strong ghost. Shen Sangning was worthy of her unconditional trust.
The reason Shen Sangning looked a bit embarrassed was entirely because she was worried about herself, struggling between dealing with the other person and coming back to save herself. Lin Xi could feel her arms being restrained by tentacles extending from the floor. Compared to other ghosts who were only tied up by their thighs, it was obvious that she couldn't hold on any longer.
Seeing that Shen Sangning was about to come back, Lin Xi immediately stopped her: "Wife! I said! Kill her! After killing her, come back to save me."
Shen Sangning floated in mid-air, her movements coming to a halt for a moment. The instinct to rescue Lin Xi and her instructions kept tugged at her in her mind.
But Lin Xi believed that Shen Sang Ning would make the most correct judgment.
Shen Sangning did not disappoint Lin Xi, because Shen Sangning looked at her sister again. At the moment when her mother stretched out her long neck and her father stretched out his hand to Shen Sangning
Suddenly, she passed through the two of them like a black line and came in front of her sister.
She floated in mid-air, the hem of her pure white dress fluttering. Her sister's eyes widened, as if she wanted to say something, but to Shen Sangning, it was of no consequence. She raised her right hand slightly, and an invisible force squeezed her sister. In an instant, she turned into a black ball.
In reality, my sister wanted to escape. She could have easily slipped through the cracks like she had done in the room before. But her cleverness backfired, and the trick she had intended to use against Lin Xi backfired on her. Her feet were bound by the hands extending from the ground, leaving her unable to move.
She was no match for Shen Sangning in the first place, and she couldn't resist Shen Sangning's attack at all. From the time Shen Sangning attacked to the time she turned into a black ball, only a dozen seconds had passed.
However, the changes did not stop, because in addition to the younger sister, there was another person in this space, and that was Shen Sangning.
She didn't even have time to pick up the black ball, and rushed directly back into Lin Xi's body. After Shen Sang Ning came back, Lin Xi felt that the changes had stopped, and the tentacles that bound her hands softened and slowly retracted into the floor.
Lin Xi fell to the ground. She raised her hand, rolled up her sleeve, and saw red marks on her arm. The tentacle was quite powerful, leaving red marks on her in such a short time. She shook her arm, and then saw the eyes of her parents, brothers and sisters looking at her.
The look in mom and dad's eyes was obviously filled with hatred. After all, in their hearts, the one who was killed was their sister, their daughter, and Lin Xi was just an outsider who wanted to replace her. The look in his brother's eyes was filled with fear and resentment, which also fit his situation.
Only her sister's eyes were not right, a little weird. Lin Xi was not a literature student and didn't know how to describe her sister's eyes. In her eyes, her sister's eyes were weird. They didn't look like hatred or fear, but more like... gloating?
She didn't know if this word was appropriate, but to her, it did look like a look of gloating.
Lin Xi slowly got up from the ground and looked at the black ball on the ground. To be honest, the black ball was bigger than she expected. She thought that her sister was so small and shouldn't be much bigger. It seemed that she judged people by appearance. This black ball was much bigger than those of the neighbors.
As Lin Xi's sight changed, the family members around him also looked at the black ball. Their expressions suddenly froze, and the hatred they had originally shown towards Lin Xi turned into a strong greed. It seemed that this black ball did have some fatal attraction to ghosts.
But in the current situation, it is difficult for one person to break the deadlock first. Everyone's eyes are wandering, looking at each other and the black ball. At this moment, they are no longer the family members who want to drive Lin Xi out, but they are afraid of each other for fear that the other party will take the black ball first.
They didn't dare to take the first step, but Lin Xi did. She took a step forward, and the other four ghosts immediately looked at her. Their eyes changed from greed to hatred.
Lin Xi smiled, with a rather shameless tone: "Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, why are you looking at me like that? I'm a good kid. That guy just now was pretending to be me. Fortunately, you guys are very observant and didn't get fooled."
Listen, Lin Xi is speaking human language. Even the audience in the live broadcast room are shocked by Lin Xi's shamelessness.
But judging from the current situation, Lin Xi should be safe. If her sister hiding at home is killed, then she is her only sister. Moreover, the family members have no way to deal with Lin Xi, because the Shen Sang Ning on her body is more powerful than them.
Lin Xi ignored them. After saying this, she walked forward under their complicated gazes, and came to the black ball that her sister had transformed into. She bent down and picked up the black ball. This was the first time Lin Xi had touched the black ball. She had not taken it when Shen Sang Ning gave it to her before. Now, picking it up from the ground, she felt that the touch was very strange.
The black ball was light and felt insubstantial in the hand. It was icy cold, like crushed ice in the summer, so cold that Lin Xi found it difficult to hold. It also felt strange, like plasticine.
Lin Xi squeezed the black ball and it really felt like plasticine, only a little harder.
It was too cold for Lin Xi to hold, so she stuffed it directly into her coat pocket. While she was doing these things, her family was staring at her. After Lin Xi finished releasing the black ball, she turned around and said to everyone, "Mom and Dad, let's eat. I'm hungry."
In fact, Lin Xi was not hungry, but if he didn't eat this meal, he would have nothing to eat at night. Lin Xi was not a little fool, so how could he starve himself? As for his wife, she still had her food in her pocket.
Lin Xi ate this meal very quickly, and the others were also eating absent-mindedly. No one asked, "Lin Xi, why are you eating so fast?" or anything like that to show their concern. Lin Xi ignored them and finished his meal quickly before returning to his room.
Lin Xi called Shen Sang Ning out, and then gave the black ball to Shen Sang Ning. Shen Sang Ning took it, and there was a smile on her face that was a little happy, that was the joy of being able to eat food. Shen Sang Ning opened her mouth wide, ate the black ball in no time, and then came up to Lin Xi to stick close to her.
Lin Xi hugged Shen Sangning casually. She was thinking: Should I have completed the mission requirements?
