"Moreover, Principal Ryze promised he wouldn't interfere in my brother's affairs. Although he lives within Super Seminary, he isn't subject to the academy's control."
"Heh!"
Lian Feng was unconcerned.
"Ryze isn't your shield, Comrade Qi Lin."
"Yet I am!"
Lin Yan stepped around to stand in front of Qi Lin. Upon hearing her brother's voice, Qi Lin had originally wanted to stop him. But the instant she saw Lin Yan's eyes, her body nearly froze, unable to move. It was an expression she had never seen before.
Like a ghost, like a demon.
No.
It was a pressure so overwhelming it could almost destroy a person.
Had Lin Yan not possessed sufficient control, Qi Lin would likely have collapsed to the floor by now, perhaps even fallen unconscious.
In an instant, everything around Lian Feng turned pitch-black. All she could see was a gigantic humanoid figure, those dark-blue eyes fixed unblinkingly upon her.
That was the force of it.
It could make someone instantly lose all awareness of their surroundings, leaving them able to perceive only the oppressive presence of the person before them.
"This is bad!"
Lian Feng was no ordinary person. Judging by Earth human lifespans, she would count among the old monsters.
Her ability to adapt to changing circumstances was exceptional.
But—
At this moment, she was somewhat flustered.
A huge hand filled her vision as it reached for Lian Feng. She wanted to dodge, but her body had completely ceased to obey her brain.
Enemy?
Spy!
Death descended.
Lian Feng closed her eyes.
"Lian Feng, I don't care if an alien like you wants to interfere in Earth's affairs. But if you intend to meddle in ours..." Lin Yan pressed a finger against Lian Feng's temple.
Lian Feng felt as though her brain were about to explode.
It was the sensation of foreign mental power invading her, as though an invisible steel nail had been forcibly driven into her mind. Her entire soul trembled.
"Your answer?"
"This isn't a negotiation. It's a mandatory order."
Lin Yan said.
However.
From Qi Lin's perspective, Lin Yan had merely walked up to Lian Feng and smiled at her, and in her perception, only an instant had passed.
"Yes."
Lian Feng answered mechanically.
"Can we leave now?"
"Yes."
Listening to their exchange, Qi Lin finally let out the breath she had been holding.
She did not know why Lian Feng had suddenly compromised, nor did she know why Lian Feng had suddenly asked her to cooperate with an investigation. What exactly had happened?
Lin Yan turned around and smiled.
"Let's go, Sis."
As that intangible mental pressure vanished, Lian Feng watched Lin Yan leave and silently swore, I have to investigate this person's background. For Earth, does he mean one more enemy, one more ally, or perhaps neither...?
Qi Lin, too, vaguely realized that her younger brother might not be ordinary.
The system's voice rang out in Lin Yan's mind once more.
[Ding, check-in mission being generated... Check-in mission issued...] [Please have the host arrive at the designated coordinates one week from now and ensure that the invaders cannot harm any humans. Duration: 24 hours.]
From a ten-minute mission to an entire day.
Still, Lin Yan was curious. This time, the coordinates seemed rather far away.
Smiling, he looked at Qi Lin and asked.
"Sis, do you want to become stronger?"
(Sob, sob (╥╯^╰╥) Is no one really reading anymore?)
"Big Sister, do you want to become stronger?"
There was even a hint of mischief in Lin Yan's eyes. Qi Lin looked at the younger brother she doted on so much and burst out laughing.
She wanted to pat Lin Yan on the head.
Only to find that he was too tall.
This guy had grown taller again.
"How are you going to make me stronger?"
Qi Lin smiled beautifully as well. Combined with her lovely face and gallant bearing, she possessed a distinctive charm.
Lin Yan did not explain.
