Fate Trading System – Chapter 32

Plan A

Sister’s Secret 1

Loli

Su Xin rolled around a few times on the bed, then closed her eyes and had a comfortable sleep.

Although time in this world did not pass, and her memories were blurred, the mental exhaustion still made her feel weary.

After waking up, Su Xin checked the time. It was three in the afternoon. She washed her face, and while using the toilet, she couldn’t help but touch her own leg, then shook her head and left the room.

If nothing unexpected happened, Qiu Qingqing should be in her own room.

Su Xin knocked on the door. Qiu Qingqing’s door wasn’t locked, and she said, “Come in.”

“Qingqing!”

Su Xin looked at the face of her friend she hadn’t seen in a long time, rushed over, and grabbed Qiu Qingqing’s shoulders.

Qiu Qingqing caught Su Xin and casually patted her messy, uncombed hair.

“How did you sleep?”

“Comfortably.”

Qiu Qingqing smiled and made her already messy hair even messier.

“Will there be any missions recently?”

Qiu Qingqing had just completed a big one, so there wouldn’t be any missions to take for a while.

“Let me check.”

Su Xin logged onto the organization’s website and browsed for a few minutes.

“There shouldn’t be any; things are quite peaceful.”

Su Xin only deals with black eating black crime, and she is a senior cleaner. Actually, she isn’t very busy since those in the shadows don’t need to be dealt with every day.

The missions are highly dangerous and each one takes a long time, but fortunately, there aren’t too many.

“Why did you ask this all of a sudden?”

“Let’s go out and have some fun.”

Qiu Qingqing put down her phone and looked at Su Xin.

“Huh? Why this sudden suggestion?”

Su Xin doesn’t really like going out, and neither does Qiu Qingqing, especially since they both hate crowded places. But come to think of it, the two of them have never gone out to have fun together.

“Because I want to. Let’s go out once, not for a mission, but for ourselves. It’s not the peak tourist season now, everyone else is at work. It’s the perfect time, and we both happen to be free.”

Qiu Qingqing hugged Su Xin, playing with her hair with one hand.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

In front of Qiu Qingqing, Su Xin was even somewhat docile because Su Xin always felt that Qiu Qingqing was more cultured and more capable than her.

Qiu Qingqing didn’t know what gave Su Xin this mysterious misconception, but it wasn’t a bad thing.

Using fake identities, the two of them boarded a plane and flew to City D.

City D is by the sea, with beautiful scenery.

“Why did you suddenly want to see the sea?”

Su Xin looked at Qiu Qingqing, who had dragged her to the seaside at noon without taking a nap, and was now staring at the sea.

She felt that Qiu Qingqing was acting a bit strange, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly where. Her nose was still her nose, and her eyes were still her eyes. Su Xin just thought that perhaps she had been away for too long, causing some confusion. Because upon closer inspection, Qiu Qingqing seemed perfectly fine.

“Because it’s beautiful. Don’t you think it’s very beautiful? It’s just too dangerous.”

Qiu Qingqing held Su Xin’s hand, placing one of her own hands over her heart.

“Yes, it’s very, very beautiful.”

The vast sea, stretching beyond the horizon, remained as expansive as ever. Birds skimmed above, and even the clouds looked so soft.

Su Xin focused intently on the scene of the waves crashing against the rocks. The white spray looked incredibly beautiful under the sunlight, so she missed the look in Qiu Qingqing’s eyes as she turned her head to gaze at her.

Su Xin and Qiu Qingqing stayed by the seaside for more than half a month before returning to their home.

“Although the food outside is delicious, and the seafood is really good, I still think what you make suits my taste the best.”

Su Xin put down her luggage and couldn’t wait to start talking to Qiu Qingqing about what to eat for dinner.

“I want cola chicken wings! Stir-fried king oyster mushrooms with meat! Shrimp with cashews!”

Su Xin said while hugging Qiu Qingqing’s waist.

“Alright, let’s clean up the house first, then I’ll go buy groceries, you little foodie.”

Qiu Qingqing pinched the tip of Su Xin’s nose.

After staying at home for a little over half a month, Su Xin heard the voice of Fourteen in her mind.

【Host, we meet again.】

Su Xin was playing on her phone, and after hearing Fourteen’s voice, she put down her phone.

Master Fourteen, I’ve noticed you appear very regularly.

【Hmm.】

Once a month, even more punctual than my period.

【It’s more pleasing to the mind to round up numbers. What do you think, Host?】

Mm-hmm, let’s begin.

【Received a commission request from a parallel dimension. Do you accept?】

Accept.

【Transaction successfully processed. The world is in stasis, currently contacting the client.】

The client Su Xin saw this time surprised her a bit, because she was neither an ancient woman worried about her chastity in a world of turmoil, nor a tense mermaid being held captive, but rather a pretty young girl with a loli face, looking like a minor.

She had a troubled expression between her brows, squatting on the ground staring at it. After hearing the notification sound, she quickly raised her head and excitedly stood up.

“Hello.”

Su Xin politely greeted the young girl.

“Hello, are you the one I’m destined to make a deal with?”

“Yes.”

“I need your help with something!”

“Mm, I came here just for you. What is your wish?”

Su Xin nodded, wondering what the little loli would ask. She hoped it wouldn’t be something like studying or getting into a good school, as Su Xin actually deeply hated studying.

“My sister… help me kill her!”

The little loli hesitated, but her last sentence was extremely firm.

“She is a pervert! A big villain! It must be her who killed Mom, Dad, and Brother Su. Please, you must help me kill her.”

Sweat appeared on the little loli’s forehead, and she looked quite anxious.

What a brutal wish, Su Xin readily agreed. After all, killing someone was as simple as drinking water or eating food for her.

“Please.”

The little loli ran off into the distance, showing Su Xin a smile.

Su Xin touched her chin and asked Fourteen a question.

Master Fourteen, do you still do business with minors?

【No, Host. We never entice underage clients to make deals because their obsessions usually aren’t deep enough. This time, the client is 18 years old.】

18?

Su Xin was quite surprised. She couldn’t tell at all; she thought the little loli was only 15 years old, with a face full of collagen, so tender.

Don’t worry, Master Fourteen. This task will definitely be completed very quickly. It’s just killing someone.

Su Xin said confidently.

With a shift in consciousness, Su Xin received the original owner’s memories.

The original owner was named Lin Qiaoqiao, a senior high school student with excellent grades. She had a good appearance and voice, but her personality was indecisive and as delicate as a white lotus, a typical good girl. Her parents and adopted brother died ten years ago under mysterious circumstances. Suddenly, an older sister appeared and adopted her, raising her until now.

Logically, Lin Qiaoqiao should be very grateful to this sister, and indeed she listened to her sister very well.

Her sister and she were not actually close, as her sister was busy every day and rarely seen, but she would appear before Lin Qiaoqiao once a day.

Lin Qiaoqiao was very curious about her sister and always wanted to get closer to her, but her sister seemed to avoid her.

Her sister had a secret, which was the basement of the small villa. Lin Qiaoqiao had inadvertently gone down there once, but there was a lock on it. Since then, Lin Qiaoqiao had been fixated on that locked basement.

Every night, her sister would go to the basement, and Lin Qiaoqiao would secretly watch from a corner.

Until the day before yesterday, her sister left the basement, and surprisingly, the basement door was not locked. Lin Qiaoqiao was very curious about the secret in the basement, so she sneaked in, only to find an open coffin inside, which scared her greatly.

At that moment, Lin Qiaoqiao noticed something placed on the cabinet in the basement and widened her eyes.

Lin Qiaoqiao still had memories from before she was eight years old, and one thing she would never forget was the ring her mother wore around her neck. It was a gift from her father. Her mother had held Lin Qiaoqiao in her arms more than once and told her about the ring’s importance—it’s a family heirloom. She said that when Lin Qiaoqiao grew up, she would give it to her, and that before then, even if she died, she wouldn’t take it off.

Just as Lin Qiaoqiao’s mind was in turmoil, her sister’s voice came from the doorway.

Her sister’s eyes turned a strange red color, and Lin Qiaoqiao screamed and ran out.

Her sister was a monster. How did Mom, Dad, and Brother die ten years ago, and where did this sister come from?

Lin Qiaoqiao was terrified, with images of the coffin and red eyes flashing in her mind.

Su Xin remembered what Lin Qiaoqiao had said during their handover. She said her sister killed her family members and that her sister was a monster.

Su Xin twirled the pen in her hand, wondering how the original owner had made such a judgment—just based on a ring?

This is too hasty. Although Lin Qiaoqiao is already an adult, Su Xin, after receiving her memories, felt that she was just a naive and simple girl.

To put it simply, she grew older, but her intelligence did not.

【Host, I think it’s possible that the original owner had a wild imagination. When she was rambling on to me about her thoughts, I was actually quite confused too. I initially wanted to refuse, but she cried and shouted that she was willing to give up her life to avenge her parents and brother… My feelings were also quite indescribable.】

Su Xin rested her chin on her hand. The sister was a bit strange: the basement coffin, the red eyes—just thinking about it raised questions.

Red eyes could be explained with colored contact lenses, but the coffin? Some kind of perverted hobby?

“Lin Qiaoqiao, come up and solve this problem.”

The math teacher noticed that her class representative was daydreaming and tapped the blackboard to get her attention.

Su Xin’s whole body stiffened. She stood up, looked at the function problem on the blackboard, and walked to the podium like a wandering soul, picking up the chalk.

The original owner’s memories slowly emerged. Su Xin paused in front of the blackboard for a while, then began to write the solution steps.

Su Xin didn’t really understand it, but she somehow kind of got it.

Su Xin, after finishing writing, came down like a wandering soul again and continued holding her pen.

Master Fourteen, help me look up that sister’s identity.

【Alright, searching, information has been conveyed.】

Su Xin pretended to lower her head and read a book, but was actually browsing through the information about that sister. After reading it, she looked utterly despairing. Indeed, it wasn’t going to be that easy.

The sister’s name was Yan Xingyu, a very ordinary name, but she had an extraordinary identity: the only half-blood mutated vampire in the East.

Goddamn vampire!
