Pre-death assessment

Lei Yun's pretty face was full of surprise.

Therefore, under the ultimate BOSS in this pre-death assessment space.

Are there still so many mini-bosses?

"According to you, there are two Yin and Yang, five elements, ten Heavenly Stems, and twelve Earthly Branches..."

Lei Yun continued, "So Yin and Yang are stronger than the Five Elements, stronger than the Heavenly Stems, and stronger than the Earthly Branches?"

"That's how it is in a one-on-one situation!"

Ling Wu nodded and continued, "But in a many-to-many situation, they are equal."

In other words, in terms of overall strength.

The twelve Earthly Branches together equal the ten Heavenly Stems.

It is also equivalent to the Five Elements and Yin and Yang.

Therefore, these four major forces formed alliances and engaged in open and covert struggles.

"Just how strong are they exactly?"

Lei Yun then asked curiously, "How does it compare to that giant baby up there?"

Ling Wu immediately smiled and shook his head: "That giant infant is merely a fruit condensed from a wisp of the power of the Grim Reaper, it can't compare to them."

The twelve earthly branches can secretly create the first and ninth levels of pre-death assessment spaces.

Of course, it cannot be compared to a tiny seed; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that such a seed is a hair of death.

Although Death is powerful, he is still just a hair on a feather and can't compare to his many generals.

"So... besides the twelve earthly branches who want to replace the God of Death, are the others also rebelling in their own ways?" Lei Yun continued to ask.

"Of course, who would miss the opportunity if given the chance?" Ling Wu nodded.

"Doesn't the Grim Reaper care? He has traitors under his command, why doesn't he get rid of them?" Lei Yun continued to ask.

"Why do you think they would have the opportunity to betray us?"

Ling Wu smiled and said, "It's precisely because Death can't interfere right now."

"Why can't they control it?" Lei Yun asked, even more curious.

Since the entire pre-death assessment space is under the control of the Grim Reaper, how could there be something he can't control?

"Because he's tired and needs to sleep..."

Ling Wu turned around and sat down on the sofa: "Let's take a nap too."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yun blushed slightly.

She whispered, "You mean, we should sleep together? Well... I'll go take a shower first..."

Ling Wu frowned. What are you thinking?

……

White Tiger City.

After checking in, Li Qingxue and Dr. Lu couldn't resist their curiosity and wanted to go out for a walk and broaden their horizons.

Jiang Luo wasn't really in the mood; she felt that without Ling Wu around, she didn't have much energy to do anything.

It's better to just sleep. Who knows, Ling Wu might already be here when I wake up?

So she fell asleep on the sofa in her apartment.

Then, she fell into a strange dream…

In her dream, she returned to the real world.

Boom boom boom!

She was sleeping alone in her room when there was a knock on the door.

"Time to eat."

A gentle voice called from outside.

Jiang Luo got out of bed and rubbed her head.

For some reason, my eyelid keeps twitching...

She then got out of bed and left the room.

Jiang Liao had already prepared breakfast. Wearing an apron, her smile was captivating in the morning sunlight.

Jiang Liao has many suitors; no matter what stage of life she's in, she's always been incredibly charming.

Even in high school, I received love letters from girls…

She is so beautiful, so smart, and so outstanding.

Of course, some girls will like her.

"Hurry up and finish your meal so you can go to school. You're already in high school and you're still sleeping in all the time," Jiang Liao urged.

Jiang Luo walked over with a smile and sat down: "Sister, I don't want to study anymore, my grades are so bad."

"What's missing?"

Jiang Liao, however, had a serious face.

"I...I'm really bad at math, I only got a little over forty points..."

Jiang Luo pouted: "They all say that people who are bad at math are low-IQ, and I... I think I really am low-IQ."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiang said with a smile, "Remember this, Luo Luo: there are many kinds of knowledge in this world. Humans have only extracted a portion of it, divided it into disciplines, and it just so happens that none of these disciplines are your forte..."

"Oh, this..."

Hearing her sister's comforting words and encouragement, Jiang Luoqian smiled and said, "But I'm not good at anything. I'm only good at sleeping and daydreaming..."

Jiang Liao patted the back of her head: "Stop talking nonsense. You have to go to school, at least to broaden your horizons."

Jiang Luoqian smiled, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.

"When you grow up, I'll be able to worry less about you."

Jiang Liao picked up her bowl and chopsticks and said, "I've already bought you your house; consider it your dowry."

"I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my sister for the rest of my life," Jiang Luo chuckled.

"Then I'll have to get married eventually, right? What will you do if I get married?" Jiang asked.

"I'll marry whoever my sister marries, as long as I don't want to be separated from her..." Jiang Luo muttered.

"Go to hell..."

Jiang rolled her eyes at her.

The two sisters ate breakfast and chatted, and everything looked so warm and beautiful.

Although Jiang Luo was enjoying this wonderful time, her rapidly twitching eyelids made her feel inexplicably uneasy...

After dinner, the two went to the basement and got into a Maserati.

"Sis, why did you change your car again?"

Jiang Luo was somewhat surprised: "This car must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Is money a problem for me?"

Jiang Liao smiled slightly: "Recently, I've spotted a few spots and won all the gamblers' money..."

"Sis, are you cheating?"

Jiang Luo was a little worried: "What if we get caught sometime?"

Do you think your sister is a weak woman?

Jiang Liao said with a smile.

Whether they're from the black or white world, everyone who sees her calls her Sister Jiang.

"Too…"

Jiang Luo nodded.

My own sister is ridiculously strong in every aspect.

"Dealing with those people is as easy as dealing with a group of kindergarten children, isn't it?"

Jiang Liao smiled and said, "Sometimes I find it quite boring. Why are there so few smart people in this world? I'd only respect someone if they could make me lose money."

As she spoke, she started the car and drove Jiang Luo to school.

"I'll pick you up after school. Remember to pay attention in class; you need to learn something about astronomy, geography, and stuff like that..."

Jiang waved.

"Okay, okay."

Jiang Luo walked towards the school gate without looking back.

hum!

Just then, a sudden buzzing sound was heard, and the earth trembled.

The sun in the sky suddenly turned blood red.

It's like the end of the world has arrived!

Amid the earthquake, Jiang Luo only heard a car horn behind her.

Then came a crash and an explosion...

Her heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw the Maserati sandwiched between two large trucks, turned into a pancake...

"elder sister……"

Jiang Luo's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she felt a chill run through her body from head to toe.

That inexplicable sense of unease was at its most intense at that moment.

She rushed over immediately.

It was at this moment that Jiang Liao crawled out from under the car.

"Luckily, I reacted quickly!"

Jiang Liao was covered in dirt, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

Jiang Luo felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, tears welling up in her eyes from the shock.

"It's alright, it's alright, don't worry."

Jiang Liao quickly came up and patted her on the shoulder, then looked up at the sky: "What's going on? Is the end of the world coming?"

Jiang Luo wiped away her tears: "Sister, I think we should leave quickly."

"Go? Where to?" Jiang Liao asked.

These words left Jiang Luo speechless for a moment.

Yeah, where to?

Why did I have this inexplicable feeling, this urge to leave with my sister?

"Never mind, let's get out of here first."

She then took her sister's hand.

She felt that her sister wasn't safe anywhere, so... she decided to leave first!

Swish!

Just then, as she pulled Jiang Liao away, preparing to leave...

Suddenly, with a whoosh, a figure landed behind Jiang Liao.

In that instant, it seemed as if time itself had completely stopped, and everything around us was still.

The next moment, a hand suddenly pierced through Jiang Liao's chest.

It pierces through the back and exits through the chest.

Blood gushed out and splattered onto Jiang Luo's face.

Jiang Luo's pupils suddenly contracted!

In that brief moment of restraint, she saw the person standing behind her sister.

A man with dark red eyes and an icy expression.

He is... Ling Wu!

"Sister...brother-in-law..."

Jiang Luo spoke subconsciously.

But then they discovered something was wrong.

Wait, why did I call this person brother-in-law?

I don't even know him!

Who is he, and where did he come from?

Why would someone kill their own sister?

The next moment, Jiang Luo let out a heart-wrenching scream!

Wow!

In the quiet room, under the morning sunlight, she woke up with a start, covered in sweat.

She propped herself up and scanned her surroundings.

What happened?

This is...my own room?

Is my room in the present world?

Why did I have that strange dream just now?

Who is that person in my dream?

She had never even met him, yet she was calling him brother-in-law?

Moreover, why did he kill his sister?

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Time to eat!"

Jiang Liao's voice followed closely behind.

Jiang Luo's heart tightened instantly, and her face turned pale.

Her eyes were fixed on her room door.

Could it be that what just happened... wasn't a dream?

Is this something that's about to happen?

She quickly got up and rushed towards the door.

It can't happen; the things in the dream absolutely cannot happen.

My sister must leave this place, leave... leave this whole world!

But at that moment, the door suddenly seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her…

Jiang Luo grabbed at empty air and immediately shouted, "No! No..."

Wow!

The next moment, she was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

Before my eyes was a living room filled with a futuristic, sci-fi feel, and I was lying on the sofa.

Outside the window lies a technologically advanced cyberpunk world.

"I……"

Jiang Luo immediately rubbed her head vigorously.

I think I had a very strange dream?

And it's a dream within a dream?

In the dream, Ling Wu killed his sister right in front of him.

In her dream, she didn't know Ling Wu, yet she subconsciously called him "brother-in-law."

What happened?

Why would I have such a strange dream?

How could Ling Wu possibly kill his own sister?

They are a couple who admire and like each other.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Jiang Luo seemed to be still somewhat immersed in her dream, and the knocking startled her.

Her gaze was directed towards the door.

What's going on? Am I still dreaming?

She suddenly felt a little scared.

But just then, Li Qingxue's urgent voice came from outside: "Luo Luo, Luo Luo..."

Upon hearing Li Qingxue's voice, Jiang Luo realized that this was not a dream.

She immediately got up to open the door.

The door opened, and Li Qingxue and Dr. Lu were standing in the doorway.

The two of them looked rather strange.

"Quick! Let's go, we have to get out of here!"

Without saying a word, Li Qingxue took Jiang Luo's hand.

The three of them ran towards the elevator.

"Wh...what's wrong?" Jiang Luo looked completely bewildered.

What happened?

"They're going to sacrifice us! Dr. Lu and I overheard that outside. They're going to sacrifice us!"

Li Qingxue said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luo was even more dumbfounded.

What the hell? A sacrifice?

How can such an ancient, feudal superstition as sacrifice still exist in a science fiction world with such advanced technology?
