After Song Buli chased after him, Song Fu also led the remaining children in pursuit.
Once Song Yiran reacted, he immediately followed as well. His child! It was so dark—he absolutely couldn’t let him get lost!
Song Yutu and Xiao Zhong’er followed too.
Su’er had been quietly observing Song Yiran and his group from afar. Just moments ago, she had sensed an unidentified object approaching their direction.
She didn’t act rashly, instead observing secretly in accordance with Celeste’s instructions.
At the very moment Song An rushed out, Su’er’s light brain emitted a notification sound.
[Grand Knight Commander]: Follow them. Protect that cub in secret.
[Startup in Progress]: Roger!
Su’er quietly slipped away from the fairies, then cast a concealment spell on herself. Very quickly, her figure disappeared into the night.
On the other side, Song Yiran was still desperately chasing after the kids. His stamina was nearly gone.
These kids usually looked like they had such short legs—who would’ve thought they could run this fast?!
Panting heavily, Song Yiran pushed himself to keep up. Right now, he wished he could grow eight more legs on the spot!
Xiao Zhong’er was flying while frantically searching the system shop for any usable items.
“This won’t work, that won’t work, that one over there won’t work either! Aaah! Why is none of them usable?!” His tiny hands were flipping so fast they were practically sparking.
Normally, when he browsed the system shop, all sorts of weird items would pop up nonstop. But now, at this critical moment, not a single useful item would refresh!
Song An was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already dashed into a pitch-black forest.
Song Buli followed closely behind and also rushed into the forest. Song Fu led the remaining children straight after them, all diving into the woods together.
After entering the forest, Song Buli chased tightly after Song An, but before long, he was shaken off.
While searching all around the forest for Song An’s figure, Song Buli shouted loudly, “An’an! What’s wrong with you? Don’t run!”
Song Fu joined in, shouting, “Yeah! Don’t run anymore!”
The other kids also began calling out to Song An.
“An’an, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Can you stop for a bit?”
“An’an, can we go back? It’s so dark here!”
“An’an, let’s go back and play games! I can carry you!”
Song An didn’t respond to anyone and kept running nonstop.
Inside Song An’s body, Song Yang was completely panicked. He realized the connection between him and Song An had been cut off, and he had lost control of the body.
Originally, the control was split evenly between the two of them. No matter who was in control, the other could switch back at any time.
But this time was different.
His half of the control had failed.
He could no longer hear Song An’s thoughts, nor could he communicate with him.
While the children were playing a chaotic game of chase in the forest, Song Yiran finally dragged his exhausted legs to the forest’s edge.
But it was far too dark. The inside of the forest was pitch-black—he couldn’t see anything at all!
Song Yiran had night blindness. If he went in now, he’d probably end up walking straight into a tree.
Even so, he was deeply worried about the children’s safety. He hurriedly asked Xiao Zhong’er for help. “Xiao Zhong’er, I have night blindness and can’t see what’s going on inside. Do you have a light?”
Xiao Zhong’er froze for a moment. “The light-brain has a lighting system.”
Song Yiran suddenly realized this and immediately turned on the light-brain’s illumination function. It was incredibly powerful, lighting up the path ahead like a high-beam flashlight.
He had been too anxious earlier and almost forgot that the light-brain could provide illumination too!
“But… Song Yiran, since when did you become night-blind?” Xiao Zhong’er asked, his tone full of confusion.
He clearly remembered that Song Yiran wasn’t night-blind. He’d heard that humans could develop night blindness if they lacked certain vitamins. Could it be that Song Yiran had become deficient in some vitamin?
Song Yiran felt something was off. “I’ve always been night-blind. Ever since I was born.”
Although something about this didn’t feel quite right, the most important thing right now was to find the kids. Everything else could wait.
Song Yiran didn’t think too deeply about it and charged straight into the forest to search for them.
Xiao Zhong’er didn’t dwell on it either and flew in after him.
So… where was Song Yutu?
Song Yutu had already slipped into the woods long ago. Dealing with little Song An? He only needed to make the slightest move to scoop him right back!
While the kids were still running around in circles in the forest, Song Yutu had already caught Song An.
Song An was tightly restrained in Song Yutu’s arms, completely unable to move.
Song Yutu’s voice echoed through the forest: “I’ve got him! Everyone stop chasing!”
His voice acted like a beacon. The children quickly gathered around, and Song Yiran and Xiao Zhong’er also arrived.
Song An no longer struggled. He sat dazedly in Song Yutu’s arms.
At that moment, he was confronting a malicious presence inside his mind.
Originally, he had been comfortably curled up, half-asleep in his consciousness, when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar wave of malice.
Then he felt something—he didn’t know what—about to invade this body. He immediately shoved the silly, sweet one back into their shared mind space and took over the body himself.
The instant he gained control, that malicious thing barged into his mind.
He didn’t know what it wanted, but instinctively, he felt an intense hostility coming from it!
And it even severed his connection with the silly one! Definitely a bad thing!
Without a second thought, he turned and ran. While he was fleeing, everyone chased after him, and he didn’t dare stop.
He was afraid that if he stopped, that thing would shift its target and set its sights on everyone else’s bodies.
Now, he’d been caught—and the malicious thing in his mind was trying to deceive him.
[Hello, I am a system!]
[What you are has nothing to do with me. Get out of my head!]
[Such personality! Let’s sign a contract. After signing, you’ll need to help me complete tasks.]
[Get lost!]
[Heh, that’s not up to you. Even if you don’t agree, I can force the contract. Just wait to become my tool.]
[Get lost, I won’t do it!]
[Hey now, little one, no need to be so hot-tempered.]
[Pah! I’m telling my brother!]
[Go ahead. If you dare tell him, I’ll dare to shock you. Ever been electrocuted? Want to try?]
[Pah!]
[Now for the first task. This body is quite interesting—two souls in one body. Your first task is—erase the other soul.]
[Pah!]
[Oh, don’t be so impatient. That one’s your younger brother, right? You don’t seem to like him much anyway. When he won the flying competition, didn’t you feel even a hint of jealousy?]
[This body is yours. The flying talent is yours too. He’s just a thief—haven’t you thought so?]
[It’s simple. Just do as I say, and your brother’s soul will disappear completely. All resources will be yours. The flying talent will be yours. You’ll become the flying genius everyone admires.]
[Sharing a body with your brother is inconvenient, isn’t it? You’re clearly the true owner. He should’ve died long ago. He’s only alive because of you—and yet he stole your flying talent! What’s the use of keeping such a brother?]
[You like your older brother a lot, right? Do you think he’d prefer an ordinary younger brother—or one with flying talent?]
[How pitiful you are! The brother you saved stole the talent and affection that should’ve been yours. Tsk tsk tsk—he’s nothing but a thief!]
[So stop hesitating! He’s just a parasite clinging to you, sucking your blood. If you don’t get rid of him soon, he’ll drain you dry!]
[…Fine. I agree.]
[Heh heh heh! Happy cooperation!]
“An’an, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
“An’an, are you unhappy? Let’s play games together!”
“An’an, why aren’t you talking?”
The concerned voices of his friends pulled Song An back to reality. He looked at the worried faces surrounding him, then lifted his head to see Song Yiran and Xiao Zhong’er, both full of concern.
Finally, he turned his head to look at Song Yutu, who was holding him.
Song Yutu raised an eyebrow. What was wrong with this kid? Why wasn’t he saying anything—just looking around like this?
Song Yiran asked anxiously, “Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Did something happen? No matter what it is, you can tell us.”
Song An silently lowered his head. His voice was muffled. “Brother… do you like me more, or do you like… Song Yang more?”
“I like you both the same,” Song Yiran replied gently. “Is there something I did that made you feel I was playing favorites?”
With a heart full of pain, Song Yiran gently patted Song An’s little head.
“Can you tell Brother what I didn’t do well enough?”
[Heh! Your brother is just pretending. You’re not really fooled by him, are you?]
Song An shook his head, lifted his face, and stared straight into Song Yiran’s eyes as he asked another question.
“Brother, if Song Yang and I both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?”
Oh no—this was a deadly question! No matter which one he chose, it would be wrong!
Song Yiran chose a different path.
“Sweetheart, Brother can’t swim, but I’d call emergency services so professionals could come save you both!”
[See? He’s dodging the question. He doesn’t dare answer directly—because he likes your brother more!]
Song An asked yet another question. “Brother, if Song Yang and I both want the same chicken drumstick, who would you give it to?”
“I’d buy you another drumstick—one for each of you!”
Song An shook his head. “What if I only want this one? I don’t want any others.”
Song Yiran thought for a moment, then gave what he believed was the fairest answer. “I’d tear the drumstick into shreds and divide it evenly—half for each of you.”
[See? As long as your little brother is around, your big brother will never care about only you! So hurry up and do it! As long as he disappears, your big brother will only care about you!]
[Oh.]
[Heh heh heh! I’m looking forward to your performance!]
