### Chapter 303: Why is Everyone Such a Sister-Complex!
The Dragon Lady often pondered if the words she had said to Bai Yu before were too abrupt, wondering if it made Bai Yu speechless, or if her previous demeanor was just an act.
Who changes their personality completely in just two months simply because of a change in lifestyle? If that’s not an act, what is?
She found herself thinking—was she really living behind a mask before? But back then, she wasn’t pretending; everything was in line with her heart.
The only difference with Bai Yu was that she felt her own missing soul. Being with Bai Yu made her want to reclaim her true self, which led her to want Bai Yu to stay by her side forever—even if it meant killing Bai Yu, she wouldn’t see anything wrong with it.
But since coming to this world, everything changed. That hollow feeling in her soul was slowly being filled, affecting her mindset directly.
To put it plainly, her previous self would have seen something beautiful and instinctively wanted to destroy it. Now, when she encountered beautiful things, she found herself slowing down to appreciate them, even wanting to document them.
This subtle shift reached its peak with Zhao Mingyue’s arrival; she never expected she would see that silly girl again.
But honestly, the way she was thinking now was quite problematic.
In the past, she wouldn’t have thought so much about it—didn’t care about others’ opinions and followed her own heart.
That’s probably the biggest difference between a complete soul and a broken one: one has feelings, and the other is void of them.
The latter, in the sc*m Game world, was undoubtedly an advantage. They wouldn’t overthink things, cared only about their own interests, and showed no hesitation in being ruthless. When faced with a situation, they simply weighed the pros and cons and acted—execution was their strong suit.
Unlike now, where she often found herself lost in thought.
“Teacher, hey, what’s wrong?” Jiang Yutong sat across from the Dragon Lady, noticing her staring off into space. After calling her name twice with no response, she couldn’t help but wave her little hand in front of the Dragon Lady’s face.
Snapped back to reality, the Dragon Lady smiled gently. “It’s nothing, just suddenly remembered some things back home. You go ahead and eat; I’ll take you back later.”
After getting news about the Nightmare from Chairman Chen, she had made a trip back and grabbed her forgotten notes.
Finally on break, she barely got back when this little girl, Jiang Yutong, dragged her out to play. They strolled around until they arrived at a dessert shop.
She had started daydreaming again, and this little girl was part of the reason.
Initially, she pondered a question: what if she still had the same personality as during the sc*m Game?
The conclusion was clear: she would have absolutely butchered Jiang Yutong’s entire family and engaged in a battle with the Nightmare without a shred of remorse.
Even though this student was incredibly cute—both in appearance and personality. And even though she was quite fond of this student.
However, this line of thinking didn’t quite align with her past self; how could she possibly be a makeshift tutor in such a chaotic manner?
Jiang Yutong gazed intensely into the Dragon Lady’s eyes with a serious expression. After several seconds, she suddenly wore a look of realization, as if she’d uncovered a great secret.
“I get it! Teacher is thinking about a boyfriend, right? It must be! You’re about the same age as my sister, and she seems to have started dating a boyfriend too. Even she admitted it!”
“I actually want to find a boyfriend too, but I’m too young! If my parents found out, they would definitely break my legs! My sister has been closely monitored these days; if they confirm she’s dating, she’ll definitely get beaten up!”
With her little hand propping up her face, she stared dreamily at the sky, imagining her future life with a boyfriend.
“But Teacher, why the frown? Did you break up, or did he do something super outrageous like go on a date with another girl? How did you find out?”
“If that’s the case, you absolutely cannot forgive him!”
“My sister said that in a relationship, if something like this happens and you choose to forgive, the other person will definitely do it again. That’s because they’ve already thought about you and weighed their options before succumbing to temptation, which means you’re not that important to them.”
“A partner who doesn’t value you isn’t worth anything at all; even if you k*ll them and dump their pieces in the sewer, you shouldn’t be sad.”
“That’s what my sister says. Sometimes I think she’s really scary, with that smile that could freeze bl**d.”
“How can someone so beautiful look so terrifying when she smiles? I swear she wasn’t like this before.”
This age group is particularly fascinated by love. Jiang Yutong is doing pretty well; some kids at this stage haven’t even crossed that bridge, and the rebellious phase has kicked in.
And as for what she just said, the Dragon Lady wasn’t surprised.
Jiang Yutong’s sister, Jiang Qingzhou, was indeed a Nightmare—she only found this out today! A few days ago, she had treated her like any other member of the Ghost Domain, even kindly reminding her to cherish her present life before it was too late to regret.
To be honest, she never expected Jiang Qingzhou to be the Nightmare. In the few days of contact, she thought Jiang Qingzhou was quite decent—at least in her home life, she was as normal as anyone else and had a good relationship with her sister.
She didn’t know if the Nightmare had returned to her memories like some other people.
Because Jiang Yutong’s attitude towards her didn’t seem fake; if it were an act, it could only mean the Nightmare was a surprisingly skilled actress.
“Has your sister changed a lot?” the Dragon Lady asked casually while spearing a small piece of cake with her fork.
“She hasn’t really changed at all. The scary smile I mentioned might just be my imagination.”
“Has your sister ever said something like, ‘How am I here again? This place feels so familiar’—something about not returning home for a long time?”
“Hmm…” Jiang Yutong tilted her head, thinking carefully. “Not that I remember. Why are you asking, Teacher?”
“I saw a movie recently with a protagonist who traveled back from the future. Hearing your words just now reminded me of that,” the Dragon Lady replied with a chuckle.
Unexpectedly, that very statement made Jiang Yutong recall something.
“Oh, I think I remember! About a month ago, my sister came home from outside and stood in the living room for a long, long time. When she saw me, her expression was so surprised, just like what you described. It seemed like she hadn’t been home in forever, and she hugged me for ages, refusing to let go while she rubbed my face like it was the last chance.”
The Dragon Lady fell silent. Could it really be as she imagined?
Who would’ve thought the widely-recognized psychological anomaly known as the Nightmare is also a sister complex?
Maybe the sc*m Game should just be renamed Sister Complex Game, as the first three seem to have that trait.
She suddenly pondered another question.
This Nightmare person is exceptionally clever. Could the Gatekeepers actually find their way back home?
If it was intentionally revealed to her, what purpose could that serve?
—
She felt her mind explode. After three hours, she ended up with the ugliest hairstyle imaginable—truly hideous.
No more outings for her; she’d have to stay home patiently waiting for her hair to grow back and save her.
Tomorrow, there’ll be three updates. Barring any surprises, the rest of the month should also have three updates!
