These illusory, formless images, driven by some mysterious power, one after another entered Xu Yinsheng’s body.
The fabric behind her tore with a sharp “ala” sound, and immediately a pair of exquisite, delicate yet full-blooded vampire wings emerged!
Her clothing transformed piece by piece into skirt armor, boot shafts, and a belt, all with a slight translucence. Her once jet-black, beautiful long hair turned crimson.
Her entire presence seemed to rise, and her aura shifted instantly—gone was the mundane, somewhat indifferent vibe she had before. In its place stood a domineering, sharp, and decisive aura!
Her head also changed, sprouting a pair of fluffy, white, radiant cat ears that shimmered alluringly under the moonlight, inviting one to play with them.
“Success on the first try?”
Xu Yinsheng looked at herself with delight.
She felt like she could defeat three of her former selves combined, though whether she could beat Zhao Yicheng remained uncertain.
This triple-merged role had originally been a trial for her; if it failed, she would simply go back to sleep—after all, theory and practice often differed.
But unexpectedly, it went smoothly on the first attempt.
Truly, she was a born lucky star!
Xu Yinsheng glanced at the five-meter-high wall, a spark of determination flashing in her eyes.
She then stepped back and suddenly leapt up!
With a “swish,” her wings flapped behind her, and her light body shot toward the top of the wall like an arrow.
Yet, she didn’t crash into it directly.
Thanks to the “Cat’s Agility,” Xu Yinsheng moved like a nimble cat, gliding close to the ground as she rushed forward.
The “Dawn Valkyrie Lina Koshi’s Physique” granted Xu Yinsheng extraordinary physical qualities beyond normal humans.
She used the wall for leverage, tiptoed, grabbed onto the surface, and leapt upward, already climbing atop the wall.
The thorns on the wall’s edge scratched her skirt armor, sparking tiny flames, but they couldn’t harm her in the slightest.
Looking inward from the high wall, several roads and buildings could be seen within the manor.
Looking outward, there was a brightly lit, bustling city with streams of traffic.
Xu Yinsheng jumped down from the wall, her movements as agile as a spirit cat.
No sooner had she landed than the warning alarm on her wristband suddenly blared piercingly!
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!!!
“Damn it, what is this?!”
Xu Yinsheng’s face went pale.
She tried to remove the wristband, but it clung stubbornly like a second skin, refusing to come off no matter how hard she tugged.
A sudden, ominous premonition surged in her heart.
As if to confirm a woman’s sixth sense, on several roads inside the manor, amid the blaring alarm, countless footsteps and shouts rapidly approached.
“Hurry, hurry!”
“This way, this way!”
“Exercise Plan One, go! Go!”
“Signal’s over here!”
Chaos erupted inside the manor as a large group of men wielding arms and wearing black sunglasses rushed toward Xu Yinsheng’s direction.
They moved swiftly like a pack of ferocious wolves, and no one dared to block their path.
Xu Yinsheng had no time to think.
Using the double Valkyrie’s strength, she tore off the wristband and threw it fiercely into the sky.
The broken wristband turned into a shooting star and vanished.
The surging crowd seemed to sense something.
The leader noticed the location change on his tablet and gestured for a retreat.
The crowd immediately turned, heading toward the new coordinates.
Xu Yinsheng hid in a patch of bushes beside the door.
Thanks to the bloodline vampire loli’s ability to conceal her aura—even her heartbeat slowed noticeably.
Though she wasn’t sure what exactly had happened, it seemed like something serious was underway.
Xu Yinsheng shook her head.
For now, it was best to lay low and avoid trouble.
Maybe out there, she’d find some answers.
“Meow meow, big sister, so you’re here,” a soft, adorable boyish voice suddenly came from below.
Xu Yinsheng looked down and saw a cute blue-and-white cat had quietly appeared at her feet.
Her expression turned strange.
She seemed to understand the cat’s speech?
No, she reached up to touch the cat ears on her head… maybe it was because of those ears.
“Meow meow, big sister, what are you doing?”
Yanqing Cat tilted its head in a daze, looking up at her towering figure.
“Meow~”
Xu Yinsheng imitated its cat language and meowed, trying to communicate.
“Big sister, what did you say? Yanqing doesn’t understand,” Yanqing Cat shook its head and continued playing with its tail.
“Meow, meow!”
Xu Yinsheng kept meowing, attempting to express her meaning, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t get through.
Finally, she chose to speak human language: “Hello, meow~”
“Meow meow~ Big sister, good!”
Yanqing Cat wagged its tail excitedly.
It grabbed its own tail and spun around a few times before suddenly stopping, its black cat eyes staring at Xu Yinsheng, asking, “Big sister, where’s your owner?”
Before she could answer, the manor gate opened, and several searchers led hunting dogs out.
Yanqing Cat immediately became alert.
It wagged its tail at Xu Yinsheng.
“Big sister, follow me, meow.”
Then it turned and darted into a deep alleyway on the left.
Xu Yinsheng hesitated for a moment but still followed.
The alley was old and dilapidated, uneven and worn by time.
Moss and weeds clustered here and there.
Occasionally, there were signs of dead rats or piles of dead ants.
The air was thick with decay and rot, making her stomach churn.
Walking behind the guiding Yanqing Cat, Xu Yinsheng was full of questions but didn’t know where to start, so she remained silent.
After about ten minutes, the pair emerged from the alley onto a main street.
Xu Yinsheng’s beautiful eyes widened as she took in the scene.
It was different from the bustling, crowded island she had logged into half a month ago, and even more so from the brightly lit, traffic-heavy cityscape she had just seen from atop the wall.
Fast food boxes were scattered carelessly on the road, none showing signs of being trampled.
The shops lining the street had been closed for ten days with no customers, yet all their lights were eerily still on.
Countless such shops made up the “brightly lit, bustling” cityscape Xu Yinsheng had seen earlier.
It was empty, silent, and desolate—not a trace of human warmth or life.
A chilling cold swept down from above to her heart, and Xu Yinsheng shivered involuntarily.
At that moment, Yanqing Cat turned to look back at her: “Meow meow~ Big sister, a big sister asked me to give you a message.”
“A big sister?”
Xu Yinsheng vaguely sensed something important in those words.
“Yes, a big sister who looks a lot like you. She petted my head, and I suddenly became smarter,” Yanqing Cat said proudly, lifting its head high.
“What did she say?”
Xu Yinsheng already guessed who this “big sister” was.
The last time, that big sister had dragged her into the future and then sent her back.
Not long after, she had fallen out with Zhao Yicheng, followed by imprisonment in the little black chain room.
Uh… in truth, future Xu Yinsheng was the real architect of her current misfortune.
Had she listened to future Xu Yinsheng and directly fallen out with Zhao Yicheng, provoking his already unstable mental illness…
Zhao Yicheng might at worst have dared to tease her, but not like now—reckless and viciously pushing her away with every twisted method.
“She said she hopes you will turn back while you still can.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes.”
“Nothing else?”
“Nope, meow~”
Yanqing Cat licked its paw.
Xu Yinsheng frowned slightly.
Such a vague message—no clues at all.
Why couldn’t her future self be on the same side?
Help her escape.
Could it be that she was tamed into someone’s personal possession, not to be trifled with?
Hissing just at the thought was terrifying.
“What’s that place?”
Xu Yinsheng suddenly pointed toward a distant building.
Yanqing Cat followed her gaze.
It was a brightly lit building with countless figures walking inside.
After thinking for a moment, it said, “Teacher said that’s where the extras eat, meow~”
