Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

About half an hour later, she brought out a small compass.

After modification, this little thing can trace the source of Honkai energy.

As soon as the lid was opened, the long red needle immediately reacted, pointing towards the center of the town.

The three walked north, across bustling streets, and finally stopped in front of a small building.

On their way, they also encountered the Valkyrie squad from before.

As luck would have it, the body from before was lying in the yard wrapped in a white sheet, with a wooden frame underneath it.

Upon inquiring, it was learned that this was the deceased's home, and the somber-looking people nearby were the family members.

They initially thought the pointer had misled them to the corpse, but instead discovered they were heading towards the attic.

Tesla pretended to be a police officer, showed off his fake ID, and continued to press for answers.

The deceased's sister lived alone in the attic. She suffered from paranoia, and everyone around her kept their distance.

It is said that she trusted the deceased the most, and the two had a very good relationship.

It's possible that the blow was too great, and the situation has been slow to improve.

The group went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

After a long while, impatient voices finally came from the room.

The person who opened the door was a neatly dressed girl who looked coldly at Ziyao and the others, with an air of keeping them at arm's length.

"I have some questions for you, please cooperate."

Tesla's expression was serious as he waved the fake document in his hand.

Are you aware of your brother's death?

"Oh, I just found out."

The girl casually invited them to sit down, then half-reclined on the sofa, crossing her legs.

Upon entering, I found the room filled with all sorts of clutter, a complete mess. Even mice would need navigation to get in.

"Was he acting strangely before the incident?"

Einstein observed the girl in front of him while secretly glancing at the direction of the compass.

Strangely, after entering the room, the long needle began to spin erratically.

It's late autumn, but the air conditioner is set very low, making my neck feel cold.

Tesla, usually so daring, regretted not bringing hand guards, while the two of them remained completely calm, even though the situation was incredibly bizarre!

"I don't know, who cares?"

The girl didn't care at all and was scrolling through her phone out of boredom.

The screen was filled with strange images, countless chaotic colors shifting and changing to form eerie patterns.

"Hey, don't you feel anything at all when your family members die?!"

Tesla said unhappily, "She's always been outspoken."

The girl in white had a cold expression. "What does this have to do with me?"

As Tesla spoke, he noticed a light purple bruise on the girl's neck. He was about to ask a question when Ziyao stopped him.

"That's enough, you two."

The girl in front of him only had a faint Herrscher aura; she was just a pitiful person affected by it.

Ziyao had a premonition that the real Herrscher was not here.

If we investigate too deeply, we might alert the enemy, which would be disastrous.

That said, since a Herrscher appeared near the former Schicksal faction...

Ziyao recalled a figure who liked to tilt his head, or rather, a whole bunch of them.

So this thing arrived all along?

According to the timeline, the Herald of Domination will not appear until next year.

When it was discovered, it had almost completely disappeared into the population, and it was present in all levels of society.

The power of domination is to seize the power of other Herrschers, and of course, this Herrscher is also happy to do such a thing.

They can also attack people's inner weaknesses, amplify them infinitely, and eventually replace them.

The statement may not be entirely accurate, but this is all that Ziyao knows.

Stepping out of the room, the warm sunlight made Tesla feel alive again.

Einstein's face suddenly turned pale for a moment, and he hurriedly looked at the building on the left, but there was nothing there.

It seems like something is watching from the outside—

Long blonde hair, wearing a black eye mask....

That moment was too fleeting to discern whether it was an illusion.

She told Ziyao what she had seen, but before she could finish speaking, Ziyao filled in the rest of the details for her.

She has blonde hair, two tasteless buns on her head, wears a black bodysuit, and likes to tilt her head.

How did you know...?

Ein exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, you with the messy hair, stop dawdling, the car's about to leave."

..

Back at the hotel, Ziyao planned to tell Theresa about the thousand-person Herrscher, but she happened to run into Theresa talking to someone in front of the door.

The girl had a long white braid at the back, and if it weren't for the eyepiece covering her face, Ziyao would have almost thought that Kallen had been resurrected.

"I was relieved to hear that there were no problems, and I even asked the bishop for half a day off."

The girl's name is Amber. She is also a byproduct of the plan to revive Kallen. Now she assists Otto and manages various affairs.

"Don't worry... I was secretly trying to surprise you, but I've been too busy lately..."

Amber was one of Theresa's few close friends.

But Theresa's words at this moment were incoherent, and her laughter seemed forced.

Upon hearing about the marriage, Amber was even happier than the person involved herself, and Theresa couldn't bear to say it was fake.

One lie requires countless lies to cover it up.

"Really? Something feels off."

"How could that be... You've been working too hard lately. I'll contact Grandpa right away and tell him to be careful."

Theresa blushed and quickly changed the subject.

Seeing Ziyao pass by, she immediately winked to signal her.

"?"

Seeing that Ziyao was too dull, Theresa had no choice but to take her hand and pull her over.

"Isn't she beautiful?"

Forcing them to stick together, Ziyao was a little confused about the situation, so she went along with Theresa for the time being.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Ziyao, I am Amber."

Amber nodded simply in greeting, while looking Ziyao up and down.

"Just as His Excellency the Bishop said, you are a good person."

Amber held Ziyao's soft hands, trying her best to show her kindness.

Realizing Theresa's predicament, Ziyao had no choice but to play along.

.....

"Please take good care of Lady Theresa; she will not let you down."

After leaving those words, Amber departed, satisfied.

After seeing him off, Theresa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here, take a look."

He handed Theresa the report compiled by Einstein, which recorded the events concerning the Herrscher of the Day.

Volume 1: Chapter 115 The New Bride (Part 2)

Theresa carefully read the report several times and decided to search for the Herrscher's whereabouts the next day.

After getting rid of the troublesome matter, Ziyao went to eat and wash up.

Soaking in the bathtub, the enchanting mist obscured her vision, and questions still lingered in her mind.

She then shook her head, her wet hair brushing against her shoulders.

There's no point in overthinking. Theresa's Judas can be investigated more effectively, and perhaps the truth will come out tomorrow.

During this period, the thousand Herrschers had not yet gained momentum and were still scattered individuals with very weak combat power.

The only thing to be wary of is that strange theater...

The hotel is located on a commercial street outside the town, and through the windows, one can vaguely see the former prosperity of Klosten.

Back in her room, Ziyao took out the Jizo Soul from her suitcase.

The cold longsword emitted a faint, rhythmic vibration, indicating that everything inside was in good condition.

Just as I was about to turn off the lights and rest, Mei brought me some hot tea.

"You've worked hard, and you're very busy too. There's no need for you to take so much time to look after me."

Mei seemed to be holding something, but Ziyao didn't notice.

"Is there anything else?"

She opened the flowchart Rita had given her, put a checkmark on it, and then noticed that Mei had something to say.
