Chapter 1082: Senior Sister

All of this happened too quickly. Having no time to dodge, and before Fan Meinan could react, the sharp pain in her chest transmitted from her nerves to her brain. Her eyes bulged wide, and her pupils filled with shock and confusion. Her lips moved, seeming as though trying to spew something out.

In the next moment, however, her vision turned black, and her body fell backward. First, she hit the table, knocking over the kettle and cup. Then, leaning against the table, she slid down bit by bit. Finally, her head tilted to one side, and she became motionless.

Blood gradually dyed her pullovers red, and her eyes completely lost their luster.

Cheng Sihan stood in front of her sister as she looked down at the lifeless body on the ground with a complex expression. Wang Lirong, who was lying on the other bed, was finally awakened by the sound of the kettle falling to the ground.

She opened her eyes and turned her head, but the sight that greeted her was a dead Fan Meinan with her eyes wide open. Shocked to the core, she asked Cheng Sihan, "Eldest daughter, what happened?!"

"I killed her," Cheng Sihan confessed calmly. "I completed the test."

"What test?" Wang Li Rong looked at Cheng Sihan with gripping panic, never expecting such degree of ruthlessness to come out from someone so gorgeous. Instead of running away after stabbing someone to death, she just stood there, looking as fearless as the first time they met.

Wang Lirong wanted to call for help, but she was afraid Cheng Sihan would get mad and attack her before any assistance could arrive.

"I've completed the test you gave me to kill my sister," Cheng Sihan said. "Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

"I asked you to kill your sister?"

Wang Lirong looked completely confused by Cheng Sihan.

"Do you still plan to continue acting at this point?" Cheng Sihan asked.

"What act could I have possibly pulled?!" Wang Lirong was getting more terrified by the second. She could see that the girl in front of her was not in her right mind. She had actually killed her sister and even wanted to push the blame on her.

"Isn't it you?"

Cheng Sihan frowned. Then, she opened the door of the ward. "Well, you're just in time to call someone. Call your escort in."

This should be something that Wang Lirong wished for. No one wanted to be in a cramped room with a murderer who had just killed her own sister, not to mention that Wang Lirong and Fan Meinan had been patients for a long time and they had developed a healthy friendship over that period. Fan Meinan's body, on the other hand, was not far away from her now.

When Cheng Sihan opened the door, however, she did not hear Wang Lirong's screams.

Half a minute later, Cheng Sihan closed the door of the ward again and slowly turned around. She found that the expression on Wang Lirong's face had changed. She no longer looked as panicked and scared as before. She blinked, and the crystal tears faded away. All that was left was cunningness.

Wang Lirong waved her hand and stopped Cheng Sihan from bowing.

"I'm not him."

Cheng Sihan was a little surprised.

"But I know you, and your sister, of course." Wang Lirong stole a glance toward Fan Meinan's corpse on the ground. "I know you've been together for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet under such circumstances. I should call you senior sister, but now it seems that I only have one senior sister left."

"Are you the agent Loki chose?" Cheng Sihan's expression changed.

"I know you're not convinced, but I still have to say that he has good taste," Wang Lirong said. "My score in the first Proxy War dungeon currently ranks second among all players, second only to the handsome guy who just came downstairs."

"You're Beta?"

"Yours truly."

"But weren't you still in the game recently?" Cheng Sihan asked, "and Wang Lirong stayed with my sister for two whole weeks... wait, the person in the hospital was really Wang Lirong. You simply replaced the real Wang Lirong with yourself. It was why my sister found no problem with Wang Lirong after her investigation."

"Bingo. As expected of senior sister. You guessed it right," Beta commended. "I just came to the hospital not long ago, and to be honest, I had no time to study Wang Lirong. Fortunately, it's not difficult to pretend to sleep."

"Did Loki send you? Why didn't he come himself? Isn't he supposed to fancy incidents like this where we sisters fight each other?" Cheng Sihan asked.

"You really know him well. You know his bad taste," Beta said with a smile. "Unfortunately, tonight is not a good time. He has other things to do, so he sent me here. Of course, my goal is different from his. I came here tonight to meet my biggest competitor, Simon, or rather, Zhang Heng. My teacher seems to be very interested in him. Although I have never seen him so interested in anyone, honestly, he has disappointed me."

Beta paused for a moment before continuing, "I knew that Fan Meinan was no match for your sister, so I helped her find a powerful helper. I was the one who sent Zhang Heng a message to rush here, but I didn't expect you to kill Fan Meinan right under his nose. His status as the number one player didn't seem to live up to his name. Rumor has it that the White Rider, one of the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse, also fell to his hands. Could it be that he was strength type? But in terms of strength, he shouldn't be as strong as Pestilence... Nevertheless, senior sister, your ruthlessness and decisiveness have indeed exceeded my expectations. I pity your bad luck to have met me."

Cheng Sihan was unmoved when she heard this. She could only quietly look at Beta.

The latter continued, "Without me, teacher should have chosen you to be his representative. "Unfortunately, because of my existence, no matter how hard you try, there's no point. It's impressive that you managed to kill Fan Meinan right under Zhang Heng's nose, but that doesn't change anything. I thought you would understand this simple logic. The first round of the proxy war will end in a dozen hours. Even if teacher has a way to get you into the game, there's a high chance that you won't be able to challenge him three times in a row, let alone surpass me."

Cheng Sihan refused to comment. All she said was, "Take me to see him."

"And then?" Beta asked.

"I won the test he gave me. Now it's his turn to fulfill his promise," Wu Sihan repeated.

"Interesting. We all know that our teacher has many virtues, but keeping his promise is definitely not one of them."

"That's something for him to answer. Who do you think you are?" Cheng Sihan snapped coldly.
