Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

On the clean square table, Jackal was looking at the equipment in his hands with a troubled expression.

"Snap—"

The gate closed automatically, cutting off the girl's escape route.

Ziyao was immediately impressed with her own luck; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the delivery was delivered to her door.

By sheer coincidence, they ended up hiding in the jackal's laboratory.

She gripped the hem of her clothes, searching for a way out of the predicament.

An even more radical and terrifying idea was brewing.

Since we can't escape, we'll have to resort to some special methods.

Being caught in the World Serpent is both a crisis and an opportunity.

The girl approached the jackal and handed him a handkerchief.

The jackal hadn't noticed her yet and continued adjusting the device.

Ziyao sat down beside her with great interest and handed her tools.

Meanwhile, Aura's assistant, who discovered that Ziyao had run away, was frantically searching for her everywhere.

Last time someone escaped, Jackal locked her up in solitary confinement for a week. If she comes again this time, she's doomed!

Inside the laboratory, crackling and popping sounds could be heard incessantly.

After some fiddling, the jackal clearly failed; the device could not be started.

"It seems that won't work. Let's look for another way."

Ziyao shook her head, put her hand on the jackal's shoulder, and comforted him.

"Dr. Mei's manuscript is fine. Is it my mistake in making the improvements? Is that bastard Gray Serpent trying to fool me?"

"This possibility is confirmed."

".....??"

At this moment, the jackal finally noticed Ziyao beside him.

Wait, who the hell are you??

Each person's mask had a unique mark, and Jackal immediately recognized that Ziyao was not one of the World Serpents.

In an instant, several autonomous mechs appeared behind Ziyao.

At the same time, Aura's assistant, who came to report the situation, was stunned and turned pale with fright.

Not only did she fail to keep an eye on him, but she also allowed him to cause trouble in the lab. Her career as an assistant is essentially over.

Moreover, if it falls into the hands of a PhD, it would probably be a fate worse than death...

Although they had only met a few times, Aura couldn't help but worry.

"Your research is ridiculous."

Ziyao glanced at the device on the stage, which was very similar to the Staff of the Underworld in her memory, and was probably the first generation.

In the story, World Serpent will use this device to control the Herrscher.

The girl scoffed, shaking her head as if feigning disappointment.

"Ora, grab her!"

Although the jackal was a little confused, it quickly realized what was happening.

Not only did they barge into the lab, but they also mocked her research, showing her utter disrespect.

Jackal immediately ordered his men to capture Ziyao, the intruder.

The girl neither flinched nor dodged, continuing to sit sideways on the experimental table, calmly picking up a part of the Staff of the Underworld.

Seeing that something important had been seized, Jackal hurriedly ordered the mech to stop to avoid damaging the device she had painstakingly researched.

"Don't rush,"

I've heard Kevin mention you.

"I never imagined that the World Serpent left behind by Mebius would grow to such a size; it truly amazes me."

They addressed the leader by his name and acted as if the World Serpent was their own backyard.

Seeing that Ziyao's arrival was ill-intentioned, the jackal ordered the mecha to remain in place and standby.

"who are you?"

Having learned his lesson from the gray snake, the jackal was very cautious.

These powerful figures in high positions all have a casual attitude, coming and going as they please, never considering themselves outsiders, especially that damned Otto.

The jackal became extremely cautious, highly suspecting that Ziyao was sent by destiny.

"You'll have to find the answer yourself. Why not try guessing who I am?"

Ziyao appeared relaxed, but was actually a little flustered inside.

Surprisingly, it actually fooled the jackal.

"You really think you can leave here alive? Don't be ridiculous. I designed the guards for this base."

The jackal snorted coldly, feeling increasingly that Ziyao was in danger.

Volume One: Chapter Three: I, the Fourteenth Hero of the Fire Chaser

"I have to give you a little something in return..."

The girl shook her head, saying helplessly.

Aura's assistant's heart was in her throat, not understanding why Jackal hadn't ordered Ziyao to be captured yet.

The next second, Ziyao did something even bolder, directly throwing the experimental specimen of the Staff of the Underworld on the ground.

With a bang, the painstaking research was reduced to fragments scattered all over the ground.

Visibly, the jackal was radiating resentment, its eyes filled with a desire to devour Ziyao whole.

Aura couldn't help but take two steps back, swallowing hard. The jackal in an angry state was extremely terrifying!

Having worked alongside jackals for many years, she understands their personality very well.

This behavior is undoubtedly suicidal.

You have no intention of living, right?

"Swish swish..."

Ziyao wrote down the answer with her pen; having learned the plot, she knew exactly what was missing.

A girl who became the Herrscher of Thunder once personally tested this possibility.

For Jackal, whom Kevin called a talent, there was absolutely no way she wouldn't understand.

Fold the paper into a triangle and fly it to the jackal's hand.

"What trick are you trying to pull?"

Suppressing his anger, the jackal tore open the page, revealing only four short words.

Upon seeing the contents, the jackal froze, his lips parted slightly, unable to utter a word.

A few words, like a key to open a floodgate, instantly cleared up the tangled questions.

The dam of frustration built up from countless failures burst in an instant.

A surge of pleasure welled up from within her, and she couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, her breathing becoming heavy.

No wonder the research hadn't made any progress; it turned out she hadn't figured out the most crucial core issue.

The jackal suddenly understood and excitedly clutched the paper.

She suddenly raised her head, and most of her anger disappeared.

Ziyao looked at her calmly, as if she had already guessed her reaction.

Who is she?

The jackal was no longer sure.

Destiny could never have known of the leader's existence, let alone Anti-Entropy.

The world's database of snakes does not contain any information about this person.

How does she know so much?

Aura's assistant was completely bewildered. She was ready to send the mecha up to subdue Ziyao, so why did the doctor suddenly shut down?

"Haven't you decided yet?"

Ziyao took off her mask and looked around.

The furious jackal calmed down; rather than guessing Ziyao's identity, she wanted to immediately verify the contents of the paper.

All of this was within the girl's expectations.

The effect has been achieved. If I continue to deceive people like this, I might be able to leave the World Serpent in a grand manner.

Could you give me another hint?

The jackal bit his lower lip, not daring to neglect this girl who was likely his superior.

She carefully recalled every word Ziyao said, not missing any detail.

"If you really don't know, you can ask a certain pink fairy, or the learned Su, they will give you a hint."

You even know this...?

Only World Serpent-approved cadres can enter Paradise, and Ziyao seems to know the heroes.

Could she be...?

The jackal opened its eyes wide, completely bewildered by Ziyao's riddle-like words.

Seeing the other person's reaction, Ziyao raised her hand and pointed to the ceiling, where the symbol of the Moth of Fire was displayed.

She came up with an excuse and said she was Kevin's proxy.
