The Grotesque Miss’s End Story v3c60

Chapter 60: Sister Complex and Little Sister Complex

“Xiao Ling, don’t doubt her. Her words… are trustworthy.”

Su Wan spoke softly, then turned to look at Delusion with a faint smile.

Delusion stiffened slightly, instinctively wanting to avoid their gaze, but she forced herself to meet the sisters’ eyes and continued, “I… can’t lie. Perhaps it’s a curse, or a restriction. The obsession that formed me is imprinted with this rule.”

“Let me explain ‘Delusion’ to you.”

Seeing the lingering confusion in Luo Ling’s eyes, Su Wan pondered for a moment, then directly revealed Delusion’s true nature to her.

…Delusion’s essence was indeed an obsession, entangled between Doomsday and Transcendence, an obsession formed by a mysterious being.

She had previously occupied this being’s self, appearing in the present world as the Fairy, like a cuckoo taking over a magpie’s nest.

And this being was…

“The never-before-seen Harbinger of Auspicious Location among the four Harbingers of the Speakers,” Luo Ling murmured.

This was why the Fairy, despite being on the This Life path of Other Shore, always used the “past” power of Transcendence.

Because Delusion’s control over the This Life path of Other Shore couldn’t match her level. Just like Linna rarely used her Puppet Ballad ability, using an unfamiliar ability would only appear clumsy, at best a minor trick.

If she truly used it in a crucial situation… the outcome would be similar to Moonflower facing the Heavenly Woman Ba.

Not everyone could seamlessly switch to the corresponding path like Luo Ling and utilize the full potential of an ability.

As for the “past” power, Su Wan had already obtained it from Delusion, but unfortunately, it hadn’t reached the Authority level, only very close.

Even if it was close… there was still an insurmountable chasm between Authority and non-Authority.

Sometimes, the shortest distance was the farthest away.

As the embodiment of obsession, Delusion originally had no physical form. She occupied a body through another method, just like Luo Ling controlling a puppet. It looked human, but only superficially.

When Luo Ling opened the gate of the Divine Kingdom and sent her to Starry Victoria, the body she possessed completely collapsed.

Therefore, her current little girl appearance was created by Su Wan.

“…No wonder.”

Luo Ling couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Delusion’s cheek. She didn’t expect her sister to prefer this small and cute style.

Should she use her White Witch form more often when visiting her sister?

As Luo Ling thought this, she didn’t notice Su Wan’s gentle gaze fixed on her.

Delusion, her cheek being pinched, didn’t dare move. Although quite dissatisfied, she could only endure it. Who made her fall into the hands of a truly terrifying witch?

In her opinion, the supposedly cruel and ruthless White Witch, as rumored by the outside world, was actually just a simple-minded, naive little girl with some pointless kindness.

Delusion was very confident that, with her methods, given time, she could easily manipulate Luo Ling.

But… the White Witch’s sister was the truly terrifying one.

Seemingly gentle and kind, but ruthless and sinister behind the scenes, the perfect example of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Delusion didn’t dare recall her recent experiences, only daring to obediently stay by Su Wan’s side, following her every command, hoping to avoid returning to those days.

She didn’t even think about escaping this terrifying witch’s grasp. If she could maintain the current situation, she would already be incredibly lucky.

Seeing the slightly distorted expression on Delusion’s face, Luo Ling couldn’t help but smile.

Why did Delusion, with her current appearance and expression, look like a subdued little demon?

But Luo Ling quickly composed herself and continued, “Fairy… Delusion, you said you came from ‘Legend.’ What does that mean?”

“More accurately, both the Harbinger of Auspicious Timing and the Harbinger of Auspicious Location came from ‘Legend’,” Delusion answered. “As for more details… you ask me, I don’t know.”

Sensing Su Wan’s gaze, Delusion’s scalp tingled, and she quickly added, “I’ve already returned my ‘self’ to the Harbinger of Auspicious Location, so this information naturally went back with it… Actually, even when I occupied her ‘self,’ it was difficult to break through her self-imposed barrier and obtain this information. It’s a form of self-protection.”

Delusion could essentially be considered a part of the Harbinger of Auspicious Location’s malice, although the actual situation was much more complicated.

And the current Delusion was an independent individual. Her connection with the Harbinger of Auspicious Location was completely severed after the transaction with the Speakers ended.

Because in this transaction, what Delusion truly gained was “becoming an independent individual,” while the Speakers’ desired bargaining chip was “the Harbinger of Auspicious Location’s self.” Now that both parties had achieved their desired outcome, there was naturally no further connection between them.

Unfortunately, not long after Delusion became an independent individual and gained freedom, she fell into Su Wan’s hands through Luo Ling.

This was even worse than remaining attached to the Harbinger of Auspicious Location…

Of course, Delusion wouldn’t dare voice these thoughts, even suppressing the very idea, because Su Wan could control all her thoughts, even directly manipulating them brutally.

Having experienced it before, Delusion didn’t want to go through it again. It wasn’t a pleasant experience…

“Yes, I understand. But in that case… what about Elsa?”

Luo Ling frowned slightly. Her biggest concern was Elsa’s safety; everything else was secondary.

She could traverse the Realm of Nothingness in her main body. Could she directly go to the edge of the world and bring Elsa back?

Just as Luo Ling had this thought, Delusion spoke, “Miss Luo Ling, even if you personally go to save that red-haired girl, you won’t be able to. Everything at the edge of the world is distorted, including time and space. The reason you could find me was because I still held a sliver of hope and didn’t directly stir up the Doomsday storm.

Destroying is much easier than maintaining order. After the Doomsday storm raged, this fragmented distortion intensified. It’s hard to determine which time period the red-haired girl is currently in…”

“Is there no other way?” The worry on Luo Ling’s face deepened.

Although she had many methods, she was helpless against the disaster of Doomsday, even just its residual effects.

“I definitely can’t handle the disaster of Doomsday,” Delusion said, then glanced cautiously at Su Wan. “However, Miss Su Wan might have a way.”

Su Wan was currently deep in thought. Clearly, even she hadn’t anticipated this situation.

After all, the edge of the world was a forbidden zone for living beings. Even at her peak, Su Wan couldn’t traverse this place. Among all beings in the world, only Luo Ling could casually step into it.

“Perhaps, you can try your new ability,” Su Wan looked up and said.

“My new ability?” Luo Ling asked, puzzled. “What new ability? I just have the ones from before…”

“You have one now.”

Su Wan snapped her fingers and sent an ability into Luo Ling’s consciousness.

They were the closest of sisters. After Su Wan revived, their bond deepened to an unprecedented level, even surpassing Linna, who was considered a part of Luo Ling.

Su Wan, having obtained the Transcendence ability from Delusion, easily transferred it to Luo Ling.

At this moment, Delusion immediately realized something, her face turning pale. Her power was gradually being extracted, directly sent to Luo Ling.

In other words, she was about to lose this ability.

These scheming sisters were too much!

This ability was something she painstakingly “forged” after countless efforts.

It could be said that most of her schemes as the Fairy were essentially aimed at strengthening this Transcendence ability, including the final act of banishing the Heavenly Woman Ba. Besides fulfilling her obsession, it also greatly enhanced this precious ability.

Delusion’s plan was simple: first, fulfill this obsession that had entangled her for who knows how long, then break free from the Harbinger of Auspicious Location and become a free and independent individual, and finally, with this powerful ability, secure a significant position in the world.

She could even survive the final hour of Doomsday’s arrival with this ability.

Delusion didn’t care whether she walked the Doomsday path or the Transcendence path, as long as she could continue existing.

Unfortunately, the perfect plan couldn’t be perfectly executed. All of Delusion’s efforts benefited these sisters, and she could only watch helplessly.

Just as anger surged within Delusion, Su Wan’s voice echoed in her mind, like a bucket of cold water, making her face pale.

“Xiao Ling came home today, and I’m very happy, so I’ll let you off the hook this time, but… don’t let this happen again.”

Delusion immediately looked up and saw Su Wan holding Luo Ling’s hand, patiently teaching her everything about this ability.

She quickly suppressed all her thoughts, including the resentment towards Su Wan for even warning her about her inner thoughts, not daring to act rashly.

Meeting these… beautiful, cute, kind, gentle, and elegant sisters was truly the most fortunate thing in her life!

“…Do you understand now?”

Su Wan held Luo Ling’s small hand, her smile widening. It was unclear why she was smiling.

Was it because she sensed Delusion’s current thoughts, or because of this rare intimate moment with her sister, or perhaps both?

“Yes.”

Luo Ling nodded slightly. Even after the transfer was complete, she still didn’t pull her hand away, secretly hoping her sister would hold it a little longer.

But soon, her attention was drawn to this ability.

“…So that’s how it is.”

Just as she had guessed, it was about utilizing the imprints left by all things on the path of Transcendence to reproduce them, presenting the “past.”

The Fairy—or rather, Delusion—mastered two methods: scene reproduction and target reproduction.

The first was what happened in Zhuolu’s Battlefield at the Final Hour, and the second was what she used when fighting against Luo Ling.

It could be said that Delusion had used all her trump cards against Luo Ling.

However, the reason she could only use these two methods was because she hadn’t mastered this ability to its fullest potential, not yet reaching the Authority level.

“Should I try reproducing the ‘past’ at the edge of the world?” Luo Ling hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind.

Using the “past” to escape the distorted ancient ruins ravaged by the Doomsday storm was the only way now.

“Let’s not delay. I have to leave immediately.” Luo Ling nodded slightly to Su Wan.

“Okay.”

Su Wan smiled gently and leaned closer to Luo Ling.

“Sister…”

Luo Ling hesitated. For some reason, her heart beat faster when her sister approached.

“Are you… planning to go in your main body?”

Su Wan just smiled, then effortlessly picked up Luo Ling in a princess carry and sat down on the sofa.

“…Oh, right.”

Luo Ling blinked. Even if she went in her main body, she couldn’t directly interact with Elsa, so it was pointless.

She could only have her consciousness descend onto her White Witch avatar and use the ability through it.

Lying on Su Wan’s lap, this long-awaited lap pillow made her feel incredibly safe even in this critical moment.

“Go. I’ll take care of your body,” Su Wan winked playfully, just like Luo Ling. “Just like before—you’re not worried that I’ll do anything to you, are you?”

“…Yes.”

A mosquito-like whisper echoed, and Luo Ling’s face flushed slightly, turning her head away.

As if thinking of something, her face reddened even more, and she whispered, “Actually… it’s not impossible…”

“Hmm?”

Su Wan hummed softly, a hint of amusement in her tone.

“Ugh, I’m leaving!”

Luo Ling, her face burning red, immediately closed her eyes, her consciousness fleeing from her body.

“Hehe, truly… Xiao Ling is always so predictable. Such bravery… is rare.” Su Wan chuckled softly and shook her head.

She gently licked her lips, a faint fragrance unique to Luo Ling still lingering.

“However,”

Su Wan lowered her head slightly, looking at her sleeping sister with a tender gaze.

She leaned down slowly, her lips gently touching Luo Ling’s forehead, and whispered, “No matter what, I just like you like this… my little sister.”

“A little sister complex and a sister complex.”

Delusion, almost full from all the dog food, could only maintain a serious expression, suppressing the chaotic thoughts surging in her mind.

But even she had to admit that the bond between these sisters was truly… enviable.

……..

At the distorted edge of the world, amidst the fragmented ancient ruins…

A demonic phantom enveloped this place, blocking the constantly approaching Doomsday storm, resisting the terrifying erosion from the deity.

Amidst the ruins, the little red-haired girl hugged the white-haired girl, sitting there obediently and waiting.

She had been waiting for several days, but hadn’t received any news. Even the white-haired girl seemed lifeless, unresponsive.

This situation occurred intermittently. Coupled with Luo Ling’s vague words during her few moments of awakening, Elsa already knew she was in danger.

However, Elsa didn’t show any panic. She just waited quietly.

Because she believed that Miss Luo Ling would definitely lead her out of danger.

Without any reason, just because she was Miss Luo Ling.

Just then, the white-haired girl’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her gray-white eyes were the same as always, but a blush appeared on her face.

“Ah, Miss White, you’re back!”

Sensing the slight movement of the petite body in her arms, a look of surprise flashed across Elsa’s face, but then she became puzzled.

“Your face…”

“It’s nothing.”

Luo Ling rubbed her cheeks. Some uncontrollable physiological reactions were transferred to this body through her consciousness, which was a bit embarrassing, but not a big deal.

After composing herself, Luo Ling took a deep breath and said, “Sorry, Elsa, I hid something from you before… I was afraid that you might worry unnecessarily if you knew.”

“Oh, I see. It’s okay.” Elsa nodded. She didn’t seem to mind.

“It’s just… your current situation might be a bit… bad.”

Luo Ling hesitated for a moment, then told Elsa everything about their current predicament.

After listening, Elsa’s first reaction wasn’t concern about how to resolve the crisis, but a puzzled question, “Wait, are you really Miss White? Why didn’t you just use a memory packet?”

Luo Ling fell silent. Had memory packets become her standard operating procedure?

“Because my sister said… I should talk to others more, practice my communication skills, and not be so introverted.” Luo Ling explained helplessly.

“Ah, it really is Miss White,” Elsa nodded seriously. “Miss White always listens to her sister.”

“…Let’s not get sidetracked. Let’s talk about this crisis.”

Luo Ling’s mouth twitched. Why was little Elsa always concerned about these minor details, not the actual crisis?

It seemed her previous worries… were unnecessary.
