The Non-existent Sister

After upgrading the Blood Kite to the legendary level, Ning Yu's control over it had become even stronger.

At this moment, she was flying with Shen Yiyue on the Blood Kite, handling it with complete ease.

Shen Yiyue stood on the Blood Kite, wrapping her arms around Ning Yu from behind, their long hair fluttering in the wind as they soared through the air.

"So, what exactly happened, Xiao Yu? Wasn't she just talking to you a moment ago?"

Shen Yiyue asked from behind Ning Yu.

"Her voice hasn't changed, but her behavior is completely different from before."

"First, she would never abandon her previous goal and change course to do something else without contacting me."

"Second, no matter how strong the enemy, she always tries to solve the problem herself first. Only if she can't handle it does she come to me for help. She wouldn't just ask for assistance without even trying, like she did this time."

Ning Yu maneuvered the Blood Kite swiftly through the underground space while analyzing the situation.

The zombies destroying the altar below made way for the two of them, controlled by Shen Yiyue's soul puppet. They left a clear path in the middle and knelt down reverently after the two passed by, only resuming their actions after a while.

"That makes sense," Shen Yiyue said, recalling her memories from the cycle of reincarnation. She realized that Ning Yu's observations were spot on.

Ning Yu had always been someone who could accurately discern a person's thoughts and habits from the smallest details—a skill honed during her time as an assassin.

"But if that's the case, the second point actually makes her quite similar to Xiao Yu, doesn't it?"

Shen Yiyue noticed this small detail.

"No, that's exactly what makes it terrifying," Ning Yu said, her gaze deep as she looked into the endless tunnel of the underground space. They were still quite a distance from the coordinates Ning Xuan had sent.

"When I picked up Chronos, I saw some memory fragments of the real Ning Yu in my mind."

Ning Yu rarely turned her head, but this time she did, showing Shen Yiyue her profile.

"I never had a sister."

"What...?!"

Shen Yiyue's eyes widened in shock.

"How is that possible... But everything Xiao Xuan has done..."

This revelation was hard to digest. Shen Yiyue muttered to herself as she tried to make sense of it.

"From the very beginning, I was the only one created as a vessel. There was no yin and yang, no twins, no transference. None of it existed."

"Everything Xiao Xuan has told us is a lie."

Ning Yu's face showed no expression, but Shen Yiyue could sense a deep sadness in her eyes.

"How could this be..."

Shen Yiyue found it all too unbelievable, but she knew Ning Yu never lied.

"Why would she do this... Wait a minute?!"

Suddenly, she grabbed Ning Yu's arm, her tone becoming urgent.

"If that's the case, then this must be a trap. Should we still go?"

Shen Yiyue was worried about Ning Yu's safety.

"We have to go," Ning Yu replied without hesitation.

"She is filled with countless lies. Perhaps she is nothing more than a fabricated existence, an unreal counterfeit."

"But there is one thing I am certain of: in her heart, she truly sees me as her sister."

Shen Yiyue stared blankly at Ning Yu's profile. Even though this was a matter between Ning Yu and Ning Xuan, she couldn't help but feel moved by Ning Yu's words.

"Amidst all these lies, something real has been born."

Ning Yu finally turned her head back, and the Blood Kite beneath her feet accelerated once more, cutting through the silence of the underground space.

"That's why I have to save her."

Shen Yiyue let go of Ning Yu's arm and instead wrapped her arms around Ning Yu's waist as they sped up.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

......

In front of a massive mechanical door, two wrathful cyborgs stood guard on either side.

Their heads, which were relatively small compared to their bodies, had been fitted with additional devices.

These devices allowed them to scan the underground space outside the mechanical door from specific angles, their movements precise and mechanical.

From time to time, human soldiers passed by, leading a long line of cyborg gluttons on patrol. The mechanical claws of the gluttons clattered against the hard rock floor.

Ning Xuan was hiding in a concealed corner, two altars away from the mechanical door.

Her face was expressionless, and all her cybernetic enhancements were fully activated, her energy levels seemingly sufficient.

Yet, she sat there motionless, her eyes fixed on the wall, where there was nothing to see.

She remained in this position for a long time, until suddenly...

"Whoosh!"

A blade of light sliced through the silence of the space as Ning Yu, riding the Blood Kite, arrived at the altar near the mechanical door.

She landed on the ground without moving aimlessly, but the Blood Kite in the air danced around, cutting down the cyborg zombies that surrounded them, reducing them to piles of scrap metal and flesh.

Ning Yu's eyes scanned the area, as if searching for something.

Behind her, Shen Yiyue had already taken out heavy weapons from her arsenal, assisting Ning Yu in the attack.

Ever since the "Song of the Kite" had been embedded in her body, Ning Yu noticed that Shen Yiyue's physical abilities had greatly improved.

Although her time-control abilities were now limited to "Future Reading," which was about the same as when she first awakened, her combat strength had significantly increased due to her enhanced physical abilities.

She no longer needed to rely on "Future Reading" to dodge the attacks of zombies most of the time.

Just as the last cyborg glutton leaped toward Shen Yiyue...

"Boom!"

A burst of blue flames exploded on the cyborg glutton's body. The cyborg armor on the glutton melted away as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

"Slice!"

Immediately after, a sharp metal blade cut through the glutton's now-exposed abdomen, killing it instantly.

A pair of blue mechanical wings carried a silver-haired girl as she landed in front of Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue.

Ning Xuan's face lit up with joy.

"Big sister! I knew you'd be alright!"

Ning Yu observed Ning Xuan's movements closely, only reacting when she spoke, as if she had prepared her lines in advance.

"I'm glad to see you're safe too," she said with a smile, walking up to Ning Xuan and deliberately leaving herself unguarded as she embraced her.

Under Ning Yu's embrace, Ning Xuan's eyes momentarily lost focus, as if she had malfunctioned. The blade in her hand trembled slightly before retracting completely.

Ning Yu noticed all of this.

"Tell me about the situation here," Ning Yu said, releasing Ning Xuan and looking at her almost identical twin sister. Inside, she let out a soft sigh.
