Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Late at night

The train stopped at Shilu Station, letting out a mournful whistle as it could no longer bear the weight.

With a bang.

White smoke mixed with a burnt smell billowed from the front of the car; the engine had exploded.

Fortunately, the impact was not severe, and only a few passengers sustained minor injuries.

"No, it's the engine that was just routinely serviced!" The mechanic in the vehicle burst into tears as he looked at the smoking engine.

"Alright, whatever you have to say, talk to the police."

Two stern-faced train police officers grabbed him from either side and took him away without explanation to file a case.

"Ame-ro—!"

As for the culprit, he already had the insurance company's quick settlement check in hand, calmly walked off the platform, and hailed a taxi.

"Go to St. Mary's Hospital."

The girl sitting in the back seat had a clear, melodious voice.

Yuan Qingzi thought to herself, "After I've dealt with this, I'll go back and see my sister and Kexin and Keling."

"They would be very surprised if they saw me."

Before arriving at the hospital.

As Yuan Qingzi got out of the car and looked up, the smile on her face instantly froze.

The old-fashioned hospital building covered in vines that I had imagined was not there.

There was only... a desolate ruin that looked especially bleak under the cold moonlight.

The broken walls and rubble looked as if they had been brutally ravaged by some giant beast.

Minamoto Kiyoko:......

She closed her eyes, her slender fingers forming a simple hand seal in front of her, and spiritual energy rippled outwards from her like waves.

"Being trapped in a maze" and "sleight of hand" are tricks commonly used by evil spirits.

Although she didn't think any foolish ghost would dare to use such a low-level illusion on a legitimate Onmyoji, caution was always the best policy.

"Um?"

"Holy crap... this residual psionic energy fluctuation..." Gen Kiyoko exclaimed, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise.

"Ten times stronger than Grandma, Grandma is but a little mouse in the face of this power... In other words, there was a battle here at the level of a Grand Celestial Master in yellow robes..."

"Grandma, what is this thing you asked me to get rid of?!"

The white tuft of hair on Yuan Qingzi's forehead stood straight up without stopping, startling her so much that she turned around and ran back to the taxi.

"Hmm, hurry up, let's go to Kosei Ward..." Kiyoko's white ahoge swayed as she urged anxiously.

However, the driver did not react at all.

Not only that, he turned his head little by little, extremely slowly...

Moonlight slanted in through the car window, illuminating a picture...

It had no facial features, and its face was as smooth and pale as a boiled egg.

【Hehehe~ This lady...】

The faceless man emitted a low, hoarse, inhuman laugh.

He was a local urban legend, known for preying on travelers who were out alone late at night, feeding on their fear.

I met this seemingly delicate young woman tonight, and I thought it would be another delicious meal.

However, the expected scream did not occur.

The girl in front of him seemed relieved and calmed down when she saw him.

The faceless man was somewhat puzzled and asked, "You...you're not afraid of me?"

"Phew..." Gen Kiyoko wiped away her sweat with a sigh of relief: "It's really great to encounter a level 1 monster in a max-level dungeon."

Faceless Man: ? ? ?

What does that mean?

Lao Tzu is one of the four great urban legends! The faceless man who strikes fear into the hearts of all!

Are you being polite?!

She reached into her waist and pulled out a silver-handled, copper-tipped talisman brush, drawing auspicious symbols in the air while chanting incantations:

"The primordial energy begins, the Three Pure Ones bestow their light, I refine the inner elixir, with pure yang as the guiding principle."

A flash of silver light appeared, and a rune condensed in the air, radiating a righteous aura that cleansed away evil.

The character "清"!

"Cleanse your yin and turbidity, and dispel your attachments and obstacles."

The second character followed immediately, shimmering with golden light, containing a gentle power to dissolve all obsessions.

The character "化"!

"The Supreme Being is merciful, guiding you from your lost voyage. Once your worldly ties are severed, you can return to the Pure Land."

The third one... the character "生" (life/birth)!

"May you be led away from suffering and quickly ascend to bliss—together!"

The combined power of three talismans, enough to obliterate a level 99 titled Ghost King, was a full-force attack from the strongest purple-robed Celestial Master.

With overwhelming force.

It struck the faceless man, whose fighting strength was comparable to that of the Ten-Year-Old Lonely Bamboo.

Faceless Man: ...

Hmph hmph hmph~ Ahhhhhhh! Hmph!

With a blinding golden light, the Faceless Man, one of the four great urban legends, was purified until not a trace of Yin energy remained, and he completely returned to the world.

Kiyoko suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to know how to drive...

As Yuan Qingzi got out of the car, she couldn't help but look around, only to find something that filled her with despair.

I think I'm lost...

Waaaaah~

……

Not long ago, on the second floor of a ramen shop.

"Sister, Mom wants you to go downstairs and help!"

Ouyang Keling's clear voice came through the bedroom door, perfectly breaking the warm and romantic atmosphere inside.

"Well... I'll go downstairs to help Mom now!"

"Okay, bye-bye~", Jiang Ling said with a smile and waved.

dong dong dong...

Kexin's light footsteps as she descended the stairs gradually faded into the distance.

Just as Jiang Ling was about to watch some videos...

Then there was another thumping sound coming up from downstairs.

Jiang Ling wondered, "Why is Kexin up here again?"

The door was gently pushed open, revealing a cute, gently swaying high ponytail.

It's Kexin!

Jiang Ling didn't look closely, casually pulled the girl into his arms, and whispered in her earlobe, "I can't breathe on it, but I can't get a good look."

"Kexin~ Why are you up here again all of a sudden?"

However, "Kexin" in his arms did not hug him back softly as usual, nor did she make shy whimpering sounds.

She just... stiffened slightly.

Then it began to tremble subtly and imperceptibly.

Jiang Ling couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh?"

Could it be... another "contrast"?

A mischievous thought popped into Jiang Ling's head, so he reached out and pinched the earlobe of the soft girl in his arms, lowered his voice, and asked softly in an ambiguous tone:

"Hmm, do you like it when your brother does this? Hmm? Do you want a kiss from your brother?"

Kexin trembled even more.

It was a very complex kind of tremor—a mixture of tension, fear, and…

A kind of suppressed, distorted excitement.

Jiang Lingqian chuckled, "So cute."

So he simply hugged her even tighter and lowered his head to kiss her cheek.

However, she tilted her head almost imperceptibly, as if she were constantly torn between resistance and acceptance.

"Hmm? What's going on..." Jiang Ling noticed something was wrong and frowned.

At the same time, my hand inadvertently touched something.

It was the feeling of being bound by a layer of fabric, thin but definitely there.

In other words, Kexin is wearing a bra right now...

But Kexin was only wearing a thick coat before she went downstairs.

How could she have gone back to her room to put on her underwear and then come up here in just a few minutes?

An absurd and terrifying conjecture poured into Jiang Ling's mind like ice water.

[Ni-chan...]

[My brother's embrace...so warm...and smells so good...]

But... I'm so afraid of being found out...

Jiang Ling: ? ? ? !!

Wait a minute! You're not Kexin, who are you?

Little sister, Ke Ling!?

Why are you dressed like your sister?

The immense shock left him frozen in place, his mind racing with all the details from before—

It seems that Ke Ling's behavior was indeed a bit too intimate.

It seems that Ke Ling is also going through a period of budding youth...

It seems that Ke Ling's feelings for him go beyond just being a brother...

No way! That kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!

Jiang Ling took a deep breath, her expression complex, and thought to herself:

"I... I only see you as a little sister, Ling... How could you do something like that?"

Although... although it is indeed quite exciting, but! Absolutely not!

He composed himself, preparing to gently push her away and, in the gentlest yet clearest way possible, expose everything and have a proper talk.

[Waaaaah, if they find out, I'll never be able to face my sister and brother again...]

Jiang Ling: ……

No, if I say it out loud... it will definitely be a huge blow to Ke Ling's mental health.

Moreover, this would also cause a rift in the relationship between the two sisters...

I don't want to see those little sisters turn against each other and fight over ownership of my token, calling each other "coin pools"!

Da da da……

Oh no, those are footsteps coming upstairs.

Jiang Ling could sense it.

The delicate body in his arms trembled violently!

Ke Ling was like a frightened little animal, frantically trying to break free from his embrace, seemingly intending to rush out the door without a care in the world.

No, if I go out like this... I'll definitely run into Kexin!

Jiang Ling took a deep breath and smiled, "Kexin, close your eyes, how about I perform a magic trick for you?"

"Huh...?"

Ke Ling's chaotic mind almost came to a standstill.

All she wanted was an excuse to escape immediately, but her body was firmly held by her brother, and her ears were filled with his gentle voice.

The words of refusal stuck in her throat, and she could only follow her instincts, responding in a trembling voice, deliberately lowering her tone and imitating her sister's:

"Okay, okay..."

She closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembling violently from extreme tension, and her small hands unconsciously gripped the fabric of Jiang Ling's chest.

Almost at the very second she closed her eyes—

Click...

The bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.
