When Xia Yuan opened her eyes, she found herself gazing at a bright starry sky, with a full moon hanging in the air, emitting a faint glow. Xia Yuan sat up, adjusted her slightly askew glasses, then, with a headache, scratched her hair and said helplessly, "Suddenly throwing me into saving the world without even giving me a chance to speak, and dropping me into an unfamiliar place—this is completely absurd…"Xia Yuan was the leader of the National Special Action Group, a team specifically formed by the country to manage individuals with special abilities—in layman's terms, the management center for superpowered individuals. Despite being only in her early twenties, in a world where strength speaks volumes, Xia Yuan had proven her qualifications for the position with her unparalleled abilities.Xia Yuan had originally planned to return home after completing a mission to take a relaxing bath and unwind from the fatigue of her travels. Although the mission was simple, for someone who detests boredom like Xia Yuan, such a task was more uncomfortable than a high-difficulty one.Xia Yuan's plan seemed perfect, but when she arrived home, she was surprised to find her sister, who should have been in school, standing at the door, waiting for her return. It should be noted that Xia Yuan and her sister, Xia Yao, were not biological siblings. Xia Yuan's parents had passed away when she was very young, and she was discovered by the state for her special abilities and joined the Special Action Group. Xia Yao, on the other hand, was encountered by Xia Yuan during one of her missions.At that time, Xia Yuan had just completed her mission when she saw several thugs harassing a little girl on the street. Despite being just a child herself, Xia Yuan used a strength beyond her age to swiftly deal with the thugs and rescued the little girl. When she saw the girl's appearance, Xia Yuan understood why someone would dare to harass such a young child. With an angelic, delicate face and an elegant dress, the girl looked like a porcelain doll. Her starry eyes revealed an extreme purity that was both beautiful and irresistibly tempting to corrupt."Why didn't you ask others for help?" Xia Yuan asked the little girl, who had not sought help from anyone throughout the ordeal."Wouldn't that be a trouble for others?" The girl's voice was very pleasant, soft, yet with an indescribable quality."..." Xia Yuan was at a loss for words. There really were people in this world as angelic as her, she thought with a sigh."Well, do you know the way home? I'll take you there," Xia Yuan decided to do a rare good deed."I don't have a home."The answer surprised Xia Yuan, but she didn't intend to press further, instead asking, "What's your name, then?""I don't have a name.""..."The girl calmly said something that left Xia Yuan completely calm. On a whim, Xia Yuan said to the little girl, "You can stay with me from now on.""Okay.""I'll be your brother from now on.""Okay, brother.""You'll be called Xia Yao from now on.""Okay, brother, I'll remember."...Back to the present, Xia Yuan looked at her sister, who was at home during what should have been school hours, and asked in surprise, "Yao Yao, did you skip class?""Brother, please save the world," Xia Yao said, ignoring Xia Yuan's question and instead making a statement that gave Xia Yuan a headache."Wait, what do you mean 'save the world'? Have you also been infected with some kind of delusional sickness? That's..." Xia Yuan's words were cut short."There's no time to explain; everything is up to you, brother."After saying this, with Xia Yuan stunned, Xia Yao placed her hands on Xia Yuan's chest. After a dazzling white light, Xia Yuan's consciousness fell into darkness. When she woke up, she saw the bright starry sky."So, without even explaining clearly, you just send someone to save the world, dropping them in an unfamiliar place without any idea of what to do. And I didn't even know that the sister I adopted on a whim back then was actually a great being who could designate the savior of the world. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket or something," Xia Yuan muttered to herself.With a helpless sigh, Xia Yuan began to observe her surroundings, initially determining that she was on the rooftop of a building, likely an apartment complex. She walked to the railing and saw that the building wasn't short, probably around ten or so stories. The bustling streets below, with their neon lights and traffic, told Xia Yuan that she was still in modern society."Well, first things first: figure out my location and identity. I'll just ask someone," she thought.Then, without hesitation, Xia Yuan stepped over the railing and jumped straight off the rooftop. Yes, she jumped straight down."Illusion and reality exist in a single thought. I say distance is an illusion, and so it is."After uttering what sounded like the words of a typical delusional teenager, Xia Yuan's body vanished from the air like a fleeting glimmer. In an empty alley, Xia Yuan calmly walked out onto the main street, with no trace indicating that she had just jumped from a building.Standing by the roadside, Xia Yuan lowered her head, thinking about whom she should approach to gather the information she needed. Then, she felt the light in front of her dim. Looking up, she saw three oddly-dressed delinquents standing beside her.[This is like looking for a pillow when you're sleepy.]Xia Yuan felt fortunate about her luck."Hey, kid, I'm a bit short on cash lately. I wonder if you'd be willing to lend me some money," said the apparent leader of the delinquents.[Hmm? Japanese, I see. So I'm in Japan now.]Xia Yuan gathered her first piece of information.To get more information, Xia Yuan looked up and smiled, saying, "Of course, let's talk about it inside." With that, she led the way back into the alley she had come from. The three delinquents, seeing this, exchanged glances and eagerly followed her.It must be said that Xia Yuan's appearance was highly deceptive. With her delicate features, seemingly frail figure, and a pair of black rimless glasses, she looked like an easy target, which was why these delinquents had targeted her. However, what they failed to see was the fleeting glint of sharpness beneath her glasses as she walked ahead of them.A few minutes later, Xia Yuan walked out of the alley with a smile on her face and headed resolutely in one direction.
