Chapter 67
This was really too bad!
Yu Hui still had nothing on except her underwear and she was sleeping in my bed!
The most important thing was that Ke Ling didn’t know Yu Hui!
Seeing a strange woman with only underwear in her brother’s bed . . . She would definitely think that way!
So was that why she screamed like that?
If this continued, my parents would also go over…
Fortunately, my mother didn’t plan to go upstairs for she was still busy with the work at hand . Instead, she just shouted at the direction upstairs .
“What’s wrong, Ke Ling! What happened?”
Now was the key point .
I immediately activated ‘thinking acceleration’ and the surrounding space became almost static . Then, I began to think about strategies to deal with the situation .
If Ke Ling said, ‘There is a strange woman with no clothes in my brother’s room!’ I could never prove myself innocent .
However, at this moment, my destiny was not in my hands . What would happen next depended on what Ke Ling would say .
So what I was going to do was ask her to say something else, which meant I needed to use that ability of “making excuses” .
But this was my first time to launch that ability when the object was out of my sight .
So first of all, I needed to test and see whether my mental strength could extend that far . Reasonably speaking, such an intangible thing like mental strength should work even though there was something in between . . .
As expected, when I deliberately focused on the surrounding things, I obtained something like the eagle-eye perspective in the game of Assassin’s Creed, but it was more like ‘seeing-through’ .
I “saw” Ke Ling covering her mouth with one hand and pointing forward with the other . And the expression of surprise froze on her face .
Whereas Yu Hui wrapped herself with the quilt and was in a squatting position ready to jump up any time .
Obviously, it was already a state of extreme tension . Therefore, there was only a transient moment of opportunity . The moment ‘thinking acceleration’ was removed, I had to try to shut Ke Ling’s mouth .
Since I could see Ke Ling under this circumstance, the ability of “making-excuses” should also be able to be activated .
First, I should be mentally prepared and get my words ready . And I couldn’t relax immediately after I finished these words . Instead, I must continue to control Ke Ling lest she should say anything else or yell out . Then I had to respond at once and find excuses to run upstairs . . . Uh, I had to do two different things at the same time . It was so difficult . . .
Thinking about it now, this kind of showy operation was really not suitable for me . Although I had enough time to make a plan, it was so difficult to execute .
At this time, I envied those girls . How did they manage to do so many things at the same time? It was already hard enough for me to do just one thing wholeheartedly . . .
Hmm, anyway, I should try first . . .
(Leave it to me to control your sister’s speech . )
At this moment, another voice of mine suddenly chimed in and said so .

I was shocked . For a moment, I thought I was schizophrenic in order to cope with the current situation .
Then I remembered this should be the voice of the ‘ghost’ before .
What happened? Hadn’t he said that he would only talk to me when I was alone? Why was he voluntarily talking to me now?
(I indeed have said that, but now you were kind of alone in the current situation . After all, it was actually ‘your world’, in which only your mind could still act normally . )
Wait a second . Since this was my world, why could you move freely here? Moreover, just now you had asked me to leave it to you . . . So could you also use my abilities?
(Why not? Bluntly speaking, all of your abilities relied on the magic circle set up in your consciousness . Thus, if I also used that magic circle, naturally I could use those three abilities . )
Hey, hey . Could you actually enter my consciousness . . .
(I told you before that I was living in your heart . )
I thought you were just joking . . .
(I am the same as you in that I am not fond of joking, either . But is it necessary for you to be so unhappy about that? I have not done anything to you . )
Whoever realized that he had been possessed by a ghost would feel uneasy .
After all, speaking of being possessed by a ghost, all people could think of was one’s body being snatched away .
(In this case, let me clarify one thing . I have never thought of robbing you of your body, so you needn’t be so wary of me . )

Then again, why on earth were you living in my body?
(I just . . . don’t have a place to go for the time being . After I find a new residence, I will leave . . . )
His words sounded woeful, not like excuses . Suddenly, I felt that I was a vicious landlord who was forcibly evicting a poor tenant .
Forget it . No matter what purpose you had, I would let you live here .
Then again, what was your name? I couldn’t call you ‘ghost’ all the time, could I?
(I have no name, no body, nothing . . . )
Uh, should I give you a name?
(No, thanks . )
Why?
(You suck at naming . )
Uh…
(You could just call me ‘Null’ . )

Oh, a Kamen Rider?
Then, Null, since you had stepped out to help me this time, you could live in my body as will .
Moreover, I had no idea at all when you entered my body . Therefore, I couldn’t drive you out even if I wanted to .
(This is indeed the case . Unless I leave willingly, you have no right to drive me away . )
Sure enough . . . You were more like another me split from myself than a ghost attached to me .
(Whatever you say . Your ability is about to reach its time limit, so hurry up and be mentally prepared . )
It was much easier with you sharing half of my burden . To be honest, I even believed there wouldn’t be any problems this time . Ha ha ha .
(Sloth…)
Well, then, wish us a pleasant cooperation!
After reaching a consensus, I removed the ability of ‘extending one second’ .
After the time flow around us became normal, I did not act rashly but waited for three or four seconds . . .
“Ke Ling’s response” came .
“No, it’s okay! I just saw a cockroach!”
Well done!
