This time, I acted first. I took the trafficker’s hand.
But my sister stopped us. She turned to the disguised woman and smiled sweetly.
"Grandma, my sister wants candied haws too. Why don’t you give them to me instead?"
The traffickers hesitated, whispering among themselves. Taking two girls would be too risky. The younger one would be easier to control.
So they let go of my hand—and took hers instead.
Before leaving, my sister leaned close and whispered, her voice dripping with malice.
"Sister, I know you’ve been reborn too. Do you think you can steal my system? Dream on."
I watched her disappear into the distance and chuckled.
"Sister, let’s see if you can still laugh… after you’ve used up your two chances to exchange."
——
Back home, the system’s familiar voice echoed in my mind.
"Since the host has been trafficked, the system has activated the soul exchange skill. You have two chances to swap. Would you like to use one now?"
In my past life, this was how my sister realized she had been abducted. Without hesitation, she swapped bodies with me.
And now? She made the same desperate choice.
"Okay, host. You have one more chance left. Call me when you need it."
