Seeing the bitterness on Qin Nuo's face, Qin Yushi's expression was equally complex, her furrowed brows never relaxing.
She wasn't sure if what she was doing was right or wrong.
On the table, the micro-bug embedded in the back of the lady's watch flashed red.
Qin Nuo's expression changed, as if he had temporarily erged from his chaotic thoughts.
"So, what's your na?" Qin Nuo asked.
Qin Yushi gave a bitter smile, "Just consider still Qin Yushi, and keep treating as your sister, okay?"
Everything was a lie, and such a cruel reality could easily break a person's ntal defenses.
Even though Qin Nuo appeared calm, who knew what he felt inside?
She was just an actress playing the role of Qin Nuo's sister. Two years ago, she didn't even know this younger brother, who was two years her junior. But now, revealing all these truths, her feelings were as complex as her expression.
"So that terrifying curse, and Wang Xun, were fake too?"
"The terrifying curse was real, and Wang Xun is indeed just an ordinary friend in my life."
"My professional identity is confidential, so all she knows is that I'm a university student at the dia University."
"To avoid exposure and to better watch over you, I went along with the act and had her help enter the Horror Ga."
"I just didn't expect..."
Qin Nuo chuckled and said, "Well, congratulations, your role as my sister can end now."
Qin Yushi pursed her red lips, wanting to pick up the watch, but another hand took it first.
Qin Nuo looked at the watch, flipped it over, and stared at the bug on the back, showing no surprise.
"Who's behind you, the guild?"
Qin Yushi blinked and said, "You can consider as serving the nation."
"Our organization's existence is to investigate the ergence of the Horror World and what's behind the Horror Ga."
"Not those dirty guilds thinking all day about profiting from the Horror Ga."
Qin Nuo tossed the watch back to Qin Yushi and said, "From now on, you don't need to monitor ."
"I'll figure out my own matters."
"I know you want to find answers in the instance, find the two voices on the phone. What if it's a trap?" Qin Yushi saw through Qin Nuo's thoughts.
"Maybe, but living isn't just about survival; it's also about proving one's existence." Qin Nuo leaned back in his chair, feeling the urge to light a cigarette. ṙ𝐚₦ǑBĘ𝙨
"I'm not stopping you because our goals are the sa."
"The organization behind can help you a lot."
Qin Nuo asked lightly, "Like surveillance?"
Qin Yushi gave a bitter smile. Suddenly, the phone rang. She listened for a while and then hung up.
"We just caught two people who claim to be from the Hundred Herbs Guild. Their target is you, investigating Ye Ming's whereabouts."
Qin Nuo's expression changed slightly. He had thought the guild behind Ye Ming wouldn't let it go, but he didn't expect them to act so quickly.
"We'll handle it for you, don't worry."
Qin Yushi said, "The guild targeting you proves you have sothing they want. Ye Ming's records show he participated in four instances and contracted a ghost. There's only one reason he's after you..."
Qin Yushi sniffed with her delicate nose and said, "Actually, after you were forcibly sent back from the Horror World, I sensed a different aura on you."
"You're a Half-Ghost, aren't you?"
As she spoke, Qin Yushi's gaze intentionally fell on Qin Nuo's right hand, giving a smiling nod.
Qin Nuo was speechless.
In the two years they spent together, Qin Yushi's clumsy actions and simple, silly deanor left a deep impression on Qin Nuo. He even worried about how she would take care of herself if she got married.
But seeing the completely different Qin Yushi now, Qin Nuo could only say that her acting skills were incredible.
She had fooled him with her acting for two whole years, truly proving the saying that life is a play, and it's all about acting!
The phone suddenly rang again. Qin Yushi glanced at the caller, hesitated for a mont, thought about going to the balcony to answer, but then looked at Qin Nuo and sat back down, putting the phone to her ear.
"Who told you to expose your identity?" As soon as the call connected, a middle-aged man's reprimanding voice ca through.
"You've now destroyed all our hard work! Do you understand?"
Qin Yushi's face remained calm as she said, "I know my brother too well. He's smarter than you think. Continuing to hide is aningless."
"And just monitoring him like this, waiting for him to recover those mories, forgive for saying, but whoever ca up with this idea is an idiot."
"We must take practical action. That call from the Horror World is the key."
The middle-aged man on the other end wanted to continue reprimanding, but it seed soone pushed him aside, and a middle-aged woman's voice took over.
"Tell your thoughts."
Qin Yushi glanced at Qin Nuo before replying.
"It's simple, fully assist him in finding out about that call from the Horror World..."
Two minutes later.
Qin Yushi put down the phone and said, "You heard everything I said."
"We have no intention of harming you, nor have we ever wanted to harm anyone."
"Since the ergence of the Horror World, the world's order has been gradually breaking down, heading towards collapse. I'm sure you've noticed."
"If this continues, no country will be spared, and extinction will be the only outco."
"The mory you lost when you entered the Horror World in 2019 is crucial. Recovering that mory might help us find the reason for the Horror Ga's appearance and stop the ergence of things like the 'terrifying curse.'"
Qin Nuo showed no emotion, his tone still cold.
"Sorry, I'm not so great person. You won't find any self-sacrifice in ."
"Right now, I only care about myself."
Everyone has their own burdens, worrying about the whole world's safety seed laughable to Qin Nuo.
Qin Yushi smiled helplessly. No one understood Qin Nuo's nature better than her, his "sister."
"Of course, I know. It's our job, and we won't force you to do anything."
"If you want to find those so-called 'parents' in the Horror World, we'll help you and won't disturb your life."
"You need that mory to uncover the truth."
"We also need that mory to trace the origin of the Horror Ga."
"So our goals align and don't conflict."
Qin Nuo thought for a mont, then said, "That's acceptable."
"However, I prefer to act on my own in the Horror World."
"If you want to help , deal with those who are targeting , like the Hundred Herbs Guild."
Ye Ming and the Hundred Herbs Guild made Qin Nuo realize that if he continued to clear instances, trouble would follow. It would be better to let the mysterious organization behind Qin Yushi help him clear the way, saving him a lot of trouble.
Qin Yushi nodded slightly, "The identity of a Half-Ghost is indeed sensitive in the real world."
Qin Nuo shook his head slightly, "It's not just the Half-Ghost identity causing trouble..."
"Another issue is that my ga ID is 'Phantom'..."
