NOVPUBCarl, of course, still hadn’t succeeded in creating a sister, because Qiao Suisui had taken a birth control pill, she couldn’t get pregnant at this critical moment.
It was just dawn when she quietly got up and left a kiss on Carl’s lips.
Before this, she had used the System’s sleep aid, so he had a good dream and didn’t feel her movement.
Qiao Suisui opened the window, looking at the rising sun on the horizon, her expression was very calm and composed, as if she had made some sort of decision.
She took out paper and pen, and with the breeze, she wrote a long letter, sealed it, and put it in the System’s storage compartment.
This time she did not choose to go to the Ruins Eye, but took out the Time Retrospection Device right there in the room and pressed start.
Qiao Suisui’s body gradually became transparent, she looked at the sleeping Carl, her eyes flickering with determination, and gradually disappeared from the room.
...
Countdown, 30 minutes.
Interstellar Strategy Academy.
This time point was when she had just started attending classes at the school.
The campus was still very quiet at this time.
Qiao Suisui moved between the familiar buildings, casually took a men’s athletic jacket drying on a windowsill to wear over her body, donned a hat to cover her long hair, hiding her feminine figure, then she took out her Light Computer and sent a message to the Carl of this timeline, doing all this in an uninterrupted flow of movements.
She walked quickly to a place, brushing past the few pedestrians around her.
When she reached the door, she stopped and knocked.
"Come in."
The door opened, Dr. Li sat at his desk finishing the last two characters, then slowly looked up. What followed was a ’bang’ sound.
Without any warning, like the scythe of the grim reaper falling down, swift and with no wasted words.
Afterwards, the sound of blood dripping and spattering onto the desk papers could be heard.
Dr. Li’s pupils dilated, he looked at the person before him in shock, his fingers trembling as he pointed across the table. "Why... you... why..."
’Bang’—
Qiao Suisui calmly fired another shot, this time to the heart.
Dr. Li collapsed on the desk, eyes wide open, still puzzled in his final moments.
Qiao Suisui stepped forward to touch his carotid artery, confirming that he was dead, before she put away the gun and jumped out of the window, landing lightly on the ground like an agile cat.
The second hand was ticking, countdown 21 minutes.
She walked briskly to the student apartment, stood at the familiar door, entered the room password, and went straight in.
She walked to her own room’s door, slipped the letter that she had written beforehand under the door gap. She had planned to leave immediately after finishing everything, but accidentally bumped into Anubis, who had just returned from exercising.
"Who are you?"
The boy asked and then attacked directly, Qiao Suisui dodged nimbly, but he still managed to forcefully grab her hat brim.
With her long hair falling down, Anubis saw her face and stopped in surprise.
At that moment his hand was still clamped firmly around her wrist, and after seeing her features, Anubis recoiled as if shocked, not knowing where to put his hands or feet.
"You... you are..."
Qiao Suisui glanced at her watch, then looked at him calmly and said, "Bi, from this second on, listen carefully to what I’m about to say."
Anubis was still looking at the person in front of him, she was dressed in black, the jacket was very loose and didn’t fit well, her eyes were calm like still water, exuding a powerful charm that made one unconsciously trust her. Especially that face, it was exactly like Qiao’s, but the features were all bright and delicate like a woman’s.
Could she be Qiao’s sister?
No, he had just smelled Qiao’s scent on her...
Anubis’s thoughts uncontrollably rushed to various guesses, his heart in disarray at that moment.
"The evidence you need is on the Southern Battlefield. On a dead elite team member, there is a recorder that captured the entire process of the Federation’s bombing."
"Who exactly are you? How do you know all this..." Anubis shifted from surprise to being on guard.
Qiao Suisui’s expression softened, her eyes filled with a faint nostalgia.
Time had changed the situation, seeing Anubis again made her feel as if she was experiencing another lifetime.
"My identity will be revealed to you by ’me’ in person later. Bi, don’t ever give up on the hope of living, because I will be working tirelessly thousands and thousands of times in places you can’t see. So let’s overcome the past together, okay?"
Anubis didn’t understand what she was saying, but when he met her sincere eyes, he felt a pang of sorrow.
Qiao Suisui pulled his collar, effortlessly drawing the much taller boy close to her face, and then she looked up and kissed him. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Anubis first looked bewildered, then lowered his eyes to gaze at her, his muscles relaxing involuntarily. His hand uncertainly cradled her waist, leaning slightly forward, and even after the kiss had ended, he was still in a daze.
Qiao Suisui smiled radiantly, "Seeing you again, truly wonderful."
Having said that, she disentangled herself and leapt from the balcony’s French window.
Anubis stretched out his arms in alarm, trying to catch her, only to see Qiao Suisui being picked up by a flying machine midway through her descent, heading towards the Federation Central.
The young man watched that black dot disappear into the sky, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss. He stood alone on the balcony for a long while before turning to enter Qiao’s room.
His hand, gripping the doorknob, trembled slightly with nervousness, but the next second, he gently pushed the door open.
The person on the bed was still sound asleep.
Anubis stood at the door, lost in thought.
Time ticked away, second by second.
The countdown read 11 minutes.
Qiao Suisui walked straight into the Federation Central Building, where several uniformed officers immediately came up to frisk her. She slowly raised her hands, cooperatively, throughout the whole steady process.
An officer pressed the communicator in his ear and reported, "Chief, it’s the Ancient Human."
Wei Shou, who was debriefing on the top floor, furrowed his brows slightly, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
"Boss, the Ancient Human has come to us on her own."
The leather executive chair swiveled around, and the leader, methodically clipping his cigar, said, "Bring her to see me."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Qiao Suisui was ’escorted’ by two teams to the leader’s office.
It was a room with a view, vast and flat, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows equipped with bulletproof fixtures. Without a System command to deactivate it, it was impervious to weapons.
Unfortunately, it defended against threats from the outside.
"Welcome, Miss Qiao. I’ve long wanted to meet you in person," the voice greeted.
Qiao Suisui smiled, "Really?"
She looked at her wristwatch, the hands ticking away.
A gleam flashed in the leader’s eyes, and displaying a genial smile, he asked, "What is Miss Qiao waiting for?"
Qiao Suisui ignored him, continuing to stare at her watch.
Tick, tick, tick...
As the minute hand finally lined up with the hour hand, Qiao Suisui suddenly looked up, smiling briefly.
"Waiting for your time to die."
’Bang, bang, bang.’
Three shots.
One in the head, one in the heart, and one more because she was simply pissed off and felt like adding another.
No one expected such an abrupt turn of events!
Wei Shou shouted, "Guards!" Then he immediately stepped forward to seize Qiao Suisui, but in the next second, as she turned around, a surge of SSS-grade spiritual power like a tidal wave hit him, and Qiao Suisui pointed her gun directly at his left eye.
’Bang—’
"Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the office.
Clutching his bleeding left eye, Wei Shou glared furiously at Qiao Suisui. Then, behind him appeared ten identical Wei Shous, charging at her instantly.
Qiao Suisui stood her ground with her gun raised, silently counting in her mind.
1.
2.
3!
Suddenly, a black hole appeared out of nowhere inside the office.
At the same time, Qiao Suisui fired a bullet into Wei Shou’s head, and his bright red blood splashed over Carl, who had just stepped out of the black hole.
"Fuck!"
