The comic is so familiar, but the plot is mind-blowing (Bonus update)

In the apartment, inside Lin Yu's bedroom.

Frustrated and annoyed, Lin Yu lay on his pillow and let out a helpless sigh.

He actually got caught?

He had been too careless!

If only, when the headmistress sister said, "Not in the martial arts hall,"

Lin Yu's first reaction hadn't been to continue inside the hall.

Instead, if he had found a secluded spot, perhaps Xia Xiashan's subconscious wouldn't have even conjured the scenario of being caught.

What a blunder!

Such a golden opportunity had slipped right through his fingers.

Of course,

it wasn’t as if this dream venture had been entirely fruitless.

At the very least,

Xia Xiashan’s fear of Lin Yu had deepened even further!

The effects of the dream world would inevitably bleed into reality.

The next time they met,

things were bound to get even more interesting.

After a brief few minutes of wallowing,

Lin Yu readjusted his position, steadying his mindset.

Tonight’s delightful dreams still had another act in store—one where he could assess the "otherworldly" results awaiting him!

Before long,

as Lin Yu drifted back into slumber,

the scene before him shifted once more.

This time,

Lin Yu found himself in a sleek, modern, and luxurious "office."

Dressed in a sharp suit and a blue-striped tie,

he looked every bit the formidable big boss of a corporate battlefield.

The reason he called it an office

was that, at first glance, the decor fit the bill perfectly.

But upon closer inspection—

the dim lighting, the shelves lined with tools that rivaled those purchasable from a system...

Lin Yu finally realized something was off!

This private "office" had some surprises in store.

Was this the world from Xiao Chi’s dreamt-up manga?

And he hadn’t turned into a goblin?

So that meant...

it wasn’t the manga Lin Yu had assumed—there was another one entirely!

As for which one it could be, Lin Yu had no clue.

In his past life, he’d watched plenty of anime, but actual manga? Few and far between.

The only thing he could be sure of was

that Xiao Chi’s taste in manga had to be... uniquely particular.

Well, since he was here, he might as well make the most of it.

He was curious to see what kind of tricks Xiao Chi had up her sleeve.

"Ding!"

At the same time,

the automatic door on one side of the special office slid open slowly.

A dazzling white light poured in from outside.

Lin Yu had seen his fair share of "divine light" today.

But what truly deserved his attention was the "treasure" hidden within it.

"Go on in. Chairman Lin is waiting for both of you."

A rough male voice echoed from beyond the door,

making Lin Yu’s heart skip a beat!

It wasn’t the fact that it was a man’s voice that startled him—

but the way the man had said... "both of you"?

In Xiao Chi’s dream,

Lin Yu wasn’t facing just one person, but two!

Moments later,

emerging from the radiant white light,

two purple-haired young girls, their wrists and ankles bound in shackles, were shoved into the office.

Lin Yu: "!!!"

The two purple-haired girls—weren’t they Chi Qingshui and Chi Qingchi, the twin sisters?

And that purple hair...

Instantly, it reminded Lin Yu of an image—

the one hidden in Xiao Chi’s hard drive, disguised as a virus!

The one with the twin sisters surrounding a man in... less-than-presentable attire.

So,

it wasn’t just an image—it actually had a manga origin!

Wait, no...

Maybe

the original manga’s art style wasn’t like this at all.

Could this be a... doujin parody?

Xiao Chi’s... extensive interests had somehow struck a chord with Lin Yu’s own tastes.

Having roughly pieced things together,

it was now time for Lin Yu to put on a show!

The things he’d only dared to imagine in secret—tonight, in this dream, he finally had the chance to act on them boldly.

"Clank... clank..."

Once they entered, the door swiftly sealed shut behind them.

Inside the enclosed room, only the three of them remained.

The sisters clung to each other’s arms, trembling as they huddled in a corner.

Their fearful eyes darted toward Lin Yu’s direction.

At this moment,

Lin Yu was shrouded in a veil of darkness, his features completely obscured.

Perhaps in the original work, this was how the "villainous big boss" was meant to appear—

a mysterious, shadowy figure, exuding an air of intimidation.

Lin Yu prepared to stand and approach the captive twins.

However,

when he tried to rise from his seat...

Lin Yu: "???"

He glanced down repeatedly at the executive chair beneath him.

It looked like an ordinary chair, nothing out of the ordinary.

Yet, it was as if he’d been glued to it—he couldn’t stand up at all!

After multiple attempts,

Lin Yu grew even more frustrated.

Not only could he not stand, but while the chair could swivel freely, it couldn’t be moved an inch.

So,

"100% glued to the chair" was part of his character’s setting?

Did that mean the entire plot had to unfold around this chair?

That added an unexpected layer of difficulty.

Then again,

challenges were part of the fun.

As Lin Yu pondered this,

the twin sisters began whispering among themselves.

Chi Qingshui gripped Xiao Chi’s hand, mustering her courage as she spoke:

"Qingchi, don't be afraid. Big sister is here. I’ll protect you, no matter what."

"No matter what happens, stay behind me and don’t move."

"I’ll handle everything, okay?"

"Promise me?"

Chi Qingchi nodded obediently, not refusing her sister’s care.

But in the next moment—

Chi Qingchi swiftly raised her hand and struck the back of Chi Qingshui’s neck.

The heavy blow sent darkness flooding Chi Qingshui’s vision.

Before losing consciousness, Chi Qingshui desperately clutched her sister’s arm:

"Qingchi, you—"

Thud!

Watching her sister collapse, Chi Qingchi murmured to herself:

"Sis… you’ve always taken care of me."

"This time, let me protect you."

Nearby, Lin Yu: "…"

This plot.

Could it get any more cliché?

Little sister sacrifices herself to save big sister?

How… poetic.

And yet—

Chi Qingchi suddenly turned a sharp gaze toward Lin Yu, the "Black Mist."

Her small hand reached to her waist, pulling out a dagger shimmering with blue light.

"Chairman Lin, I know you’re an S-class Demon Emperor. I’m no match for you."

"But don’t underestimate me—I’m the strongest C-rank warrior!"

Lin Yu: "???"

Scratch that earlier thought.

Who said this was just cliché?

This was downright stupid.

Knock out your sister… just to charge headfirst at the final boss?

And from Qingchi’s words, this was a hopeless last stand.

So what was the point?

Making it easier for Lin Yu to crush her and take them both without resistance?
