The Righteous Group's Pet Suddenly Realizes: The Villain is Actually Me

Chapter 2 : All Star Eclipses

The Star Eclipse Puppeteer's consciousness originates from Lian Hua, serving as the will of [Puppet City].

The Puppeteer and Lian Hua were originally one entity, only separating at the end.

Under the characteristics of Star Eclipse, the Puppeteer carries the strongest power, residing within the puppet Little Lian.

This allows the original Lian Hua to control some Star Eclipse power and use it moderately, preventing the power from becoming too strong and causing loss of control, which could trigger another Supernova Star Eclipse disaster.

As for Ye Xing.

Not only Lian Hua but also the Puppeteer holds peculiar feelings for her, even more intense than Lian Hua's, so intense that it makes Ye Xing a bit scared.

In any case, with Ye Xing's personality, she simply cannot handle such an assertive girl and can only resign herself to the situation.

"Um... calm down!"

Ye Xing originally wanted to control Ye Lan to pull the Puppeteer away, but then she thought, what if the Puppeteer also took a liking to Ye Lan?

Wouldn't that mean both of them would be in trouble?

So she decided against it.

Being a quiet loli and reducing her presence was the best choice.

With double the joy comes double the pain; this point must be kept in mind.

"Uu uu uu~"

Ye Xing expressed that she was both in pain and happy.

At this moment, the Star Eclipse aura on Lian Hua gradually weakened, almost entirely returning to the puppet Little Lian.

"Mm..."

Lian Hua gently released Ye Xing's wrists, her face slightly red as she moved away from her.

"Um... that's the situation. Actually, I have a bit of trouble controlling Little Lian. If I let her control me, it's easy to make mistakes again, so it's better if you keep her, Ye Xing. She seems to behave well when she's with you."

"I see..."

Ye Xing adjusted her slightly disheveled pajamas and fell into thought.

If Lian Hua truly couldn't control the Star Eclipse power, then the puppet Little Lian indeed shouldn't stay by her side all the time.

But Ye Xing worried that she couldn't bear the responsibility either.

You should know that she's very inexperienced!

Asking her to safeguard Supernova Star Eclipse power might result in losing it someday.

Should she entrust it to a reliable Night Watcher?

That doesn't seem feasible either; Lian Hua probably wouldn't agree.

Ye Xing also doesn't have any Night Watchers she trusts that much.

So in the end, she can only keep it by her side.

And Lian Hua seemed to have the same thought.

"Um, I want to leave Little Lian with Ye Xing, is that okay? Only Ye Xing can keep her; no one else."

"Mm, alright, then I'll keep her for you."

"Mm-hmm~ That's great. I'll come to play at Ye Xing's house often from now on, so there's nothing wrong with keeping her here. Because I can see her every day, it's no different from keeping her with me."

Hearing Ye Xing agree, Lian Hua visibly relaxed and smiled happily.

"Mm-mm-mm..." Ye Xing carefully hugged Little Lian, "You don't think she'll suddenly start moving while I'm sleeping, do you?"

Lian Hua also pondered.

"Well... she shouldn't... right?"

"I'm suddenly a bit scared..."

Why does Ye Xing feel like this is a scene from a horror movie?

When the protagonist is sleeping, a puppet suddenly starts moving in the dark or something, it's too creepy.

But no matter how timid she is, she still has to overcome it.

As long as it doesn't disturb their daily life, Ye Xing and Ye Lan can accept a few strange creatures in their home.

That's probably how it is.

Thinking this, Ye Xing stood up and placed Little Lian in a prominent position, like a lucky cat figurine.

"Mm-hmm~ Let's put her here."

Lian Hua's eyes reflected Ye Xing's proud figure with hands on her hips, and she smiled slightly.

"It's a good spot. I think Little Lian will like it."

"That's good~"

After sitting back down, Ye Xing began chatting with Lian Hua, just like in the past timeline.

"Lian Hua, how are your family members now?"

"Mm... As for my stepmother, it seems the evidence was conclusive, and she's in prison now. I don't know when she'll get out. My father thinks I'm dead and doesn't know about my current state."

Since Ye Xing and Ye Lan returned from the "past," the so-called reality was once again corrected by the Star.

Just as the remaining Supernova Star Eclipse aura in Shanghe City disappeared.

Many details changed as a result.

For example, the stepmother was imprisoned for collaborating with criminals to commit evil deeds.

The father, regretting the death of his daughter, eventually became depressed for a long time, living with guilt towards Lian Hua.

As for the three men who kidnapped Lian Hua, they had already been executed. With the information corrected by the Night Watchers, they didn't even get a reprieve.

Regarding this, Ye Xing tentatively asked, "Um... Lian Hua, what do you think? About your family members."

"Mm... I hate my stepmother, I hate her the most. Indeed, I only have one mother." After saying this, Lian Hua stopped, seemingly not knowing what else to say.

Ye Xing blinked and continued asking.

"Is that all?"

"It seems so... Although I hate my stepmother, she has paid the price for her actions. Anyway, as long as she doesn't appear in my sight again, it's fine."

Lian Hua is a kind girl and doesn't hold grudges in her heart.

Revenge or retaliation is impossible for her.

Regarding this, Ye Xing thought it was alright.

She also hated the stepmother who caused Lian Hua's death. Even if there's no death penalty, she hoped she could stay in prison for a long time.

Preferably for life!

That despicable bad woman doesn't deserve sympathy.

"What about Lian Hua's father?"

"Father... Although I resent him a bit for bringing the stepmother home, betraying my deceased mother, now he seems very regretful. Since he knows his mistake, I'll forgive him."

"I see. That's good too."

It's very important for family members to get along harmoniously if they can, and this is something Ye Xing cares about a lot.

Then Lian Hua continued to express her thoughts.

"But I don't want to go back to see him. Let's consider it a punishment for him. Now I have a new place to belong, so I don't need to return to that home anymore."

In general, there's no longer a Lian Hua of that family in this world, only the Puppeteer Lian Hua of the Rising Sun Troupe.

Regarding this, Ye Xing didn't know how to persuade her, nor did she want to. She could only support her decision.

"Mm, I'll support you."

"Thank you for your support, Spec~ta~tor~" As she said these last three words, Lian Hua couldn't help but chuckle, apparently finding it amusing.

"I never thought that Ye Xing would not only be my Spectator but also the Spectator for other troupe members. The Troupe Leader and others seem to like you very much. It's really wonderful that we could meet."

"Mm..." Hearing Lian Hua mention the Rising Sun Troupe, Ye Xing suddenly realized she might have overlooked something very important.

Previously, when exposing Mo Tu's identity in the "past," he had reminded her to figure out the difference between Star Eclipses and ordinary people.

Now she knows that Lian Hua is a Star Eclipse.

So, by extension, why would a troupe harbor a Supernova Star Eclipse?

This point is very specific.

Thinking deeper.

Ye Xing still remembered that the Troupe Leader, Deceiver, Gentleman, and Singer gave her a feeling similar to Lian Hua, with an aura quite different from ordinary people and Night Watchers.

Based on the known condition that Lian Hua is a Star Eclipse, and that the Troupe Leader and others have an aura similar to Lian Hua's.

Therefore...

All members of the Rising Sun Troupe are Star Eclipses!

"Eh...?"

After reaching this shocking conclusion, Ye Xing was dumbfounded on the spot.
