My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 768 - 396: Lake Hunting’s Infighting, the Battle at the Sanatorium

"Can I really do it?" Lin Xingshi swung her little leg, curiously asking them, "But I'm a girl, won't you three boys feel embarrassed being bossed around by me?"

"What's wrong with being a girl?" Zhou Jiuya shrugged, "You're the most suitable to be our leader."

"Alright then, I'll try to be a leader who doesn't disappoint you." Lin Xingshi said calmly, "But if any of you aren't convinced, you can always come fight me. Whoever wins is the leader."

"Would they dare to be unconvinced?" Zhou Jiuya snorted coldly, "If they aren't convinced, I'll be the first to knock them down."

"Exactly, exactly, with our Brother Crow being so fierce, if he says you're the leader, how could we dare to disagree?" Zhuge Hui waved his folded fan with a smile.

"Let's go, to celebrate choosing a leader, I'll cook for you tonight." Zhong Wujiu suddenly said quietly, closing his book.

The other three kids fell silent, exchanged glances, and silently got up from the seaside and walked away without looking back.

But at that moment, the images in her memory suddenly twisted, and the young Lin Xingshi looked back and saw the three kids playing by the seaside as the sunset sank below the horizon.

She wanted to speak to them, but no one could hear her voice. She suddenly felt very cold, as if she was sinking into the sea. At that moment, the sunset withdrew the light that was cast on the beach, night enveloped everything, and an immense sense of loneliness surrounded her body.

"Boom—boom—!"

The bronze pillars continued to crash down from above, relentlessly pushing the gigantic Lion Shadow into the ground.

Lin Xingshi snapped out of her hallucination, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly opened her eyes, lifting her head to glance at Zhou Jiuya.

"Big liar..." she mouthed silently, her lips curling slightly.

Zhou Jiuya looked at her expressionlessly.

The bronze pillars seemed endless, continuing to pound down. The Lion Shadow wailed, and with each pillar's fall, the Flame Lion sunk deeper into the ground, Lin Xingshi's body continuously accumulating wounds, blood staining her eyes red.

Zhong Wujiu hovered in mid-air, waving his ink-black wings, sweeping the rain away with ink-colored ripples.

The mournful cry of the "Bo Qi Bird" penetrated the curtain of rain, coming incessantly from afar.

Lin Xingshi's pupils kept shrinking, twisted phantoms appearing before her eyes.

In a daze, she once again saw that freezing winter.

She ran through streets and alleys, passing through house after house, through lights of thousands of homes, finally running back to her apartment, but couldn't find Xiao Nian.

At that moment, a huge blizzard howled in from outside the window, shattering the glass, covering her, she sank deeper and deeper in the snow, unable to move.

"Xiao Nian..."

Lin Xingshi's lips moved, softly uttering a name. The Lion Shadow above her head suddenly became hazy, and could no longer withstand the relentless pounding of the bronze pillars.

She felt her body getting colder, the scene before her eyes gradually darkening.

Heavy eyelids drooped down, she knelt in the warmth of a liquid she thought to be rain.

But it was her blood.

In the next moment, a wooden door appeared on the surface of the ruins of a sugar water shop along the long street. The door slowly opened, accompanied by fluttering pages and the cawing of a thousand crows, eleven figures walked out from behind the door.

The members of the White Crow Travel Brigade stood amidst the scarred ruins, looking up into the pouring rain, gazing toward the wailing Lion Shadow, as well as Zhong Wujiu and Zhou Jiuya.

Yanmo Lin tore off his school uniform's collar, drawing his sword out of the scabbard.

"Having fun, aren't we, you Lake Hunting bastards." Andrew loaded the last Dragon Ash into the sniper rifle, crazily grinning, bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhou Jiuya.

Xia Pingzhou glanced at Lin Xingshi, who had already turned into a bloodied figure, took a deep breath, then black and white halos surged from his body, forming into a ring-shaped chessboard.

"Target, Zhou Jiuya."

Urushibara Osamu said calmly, hands tucked in his trench coat pockets, a flock of black crows rising behind his back.

"Begin operation."
