I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

"No, it's good to have someone I know. As for the rest, we'll have to see what our Master says."

He waved the stargazing fan gently and looked at Xier who was standing there in a daze.

"Bronya...sister?"

However, Seele seemed not to have heard what Guanxing said. She stared blankly at the similar yet different Bronya. Although she knew that she was not her sister, when she really saw the face she had missed for a long time, she found that she could not suppress her feelings at all.

"Eh?"

Brownie looked at Seele with a little more doubt in her eyes. She felt as if she had never seen this person before? Moreover, since she was adopted by Xiola, she changed her name to Brownie. As for her real name, Bronya, no one knew it except the closest people. After all, a good hacker would not leave any evidence.

"Sister Bronya!"

Just when Brownie was stunned, Xier pounced and saved her, holding Brownie's body tightly with both hands, as if she would run away if she loosened her grip a little.

"This...Miss? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Brownie said helplessly.

"I know, it's just that you and my sister look very similar, so please let me hug you."

Xier said softly.

Brownie didn't say anything. Although she didn't know the story between Xier and the person who looked like her, she could hear Xier's feelings, so she just hugged Xier gently.

After a while, Seele let go of Brownie with an unstoppable smile on her face. Although she knew that she and Bronya had not really reunited, joy still filled her heart.

"So... Miss? What can I do for you? If not, can you let me go back? I have a student waiting for me to teach."

After a brief exchange, Ji Zi knew that she was now in another world, but she was not curious about the new world, because in her world, there was a little fool waiting for her to save.

"You mean Kiana?"

Seele replied with a smile, she could tell from the Blank Key armor that Himeko was wearing that she was Himeko from that time.

"Oh?"

Hearing Xier's words, Ji Zi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that someone in another world would know her purpose.

"Don't worry, Kiana has been saved by you. She is probably in Sky City now."

Although she didn't know why Gaia allowed these people who were not in the Throne of Heroes or even did not belong to this world to appear, Seele could feel that they were not real people, and their experience here was probably equivalent to a relatively real dream.

"It sounds like you are very familiar with me."

Jizi pretended to be indifferent and said casually, leaning against the big sword she had stuck in the ground. Although she had never seen Seele, from the conversation just now, Seele should know her student Bronya.

"After all, your student Bronya is my sister."

Seele said rather shyly. She was usually able to communicate with others easily, but now facing Himeko she felt indescribable shyness. Perhaps it was because she was from Bronya's family?

"So you are Xi'er."

Jizi suddenly realized that she often heard Bronya mention the name Seele, and she also found related reports when Theresa investigated Bronya's background.

"Okay, enough of the small talk."

Xier said to the three people seriously: "I invited you three here this time because I want to ask for your help..."

chapter eight

Xier explained the general situation to the three people, and they all fell silent. Looking at their serious faces, Xier couldn't help but clench her hands. For some reason, she didn't want to hear words of rejection from them.

"Hmm~"

Jizi stretched her body and spoke first: "I understand the situation. Since Kiana is out of danger, there is no problem in helping you. After all, I have taken the Valkyrie oath."

"Oh? In that case, I will also help."

Guanxing glanced at Xier, gently placed the feather fan on his hand, and spoke slowly.

The Hare Rabbit smiled, his eyes full of curiosity about the unknown.

"Hey! Let's go get some big waves together!"

At this point, everyone agreed to help Xier destroy the abyss.

"Thanks……"

Xier looked at the three of them and didn't know how to express herself for a moment.

"Then let me first demonstrate what unparalleled wisdom is..."

Guanxing asked Xier for a map and started scribbling on it.

"Hey! Why are you the one making the plans?"

Haitu said rather dissatisfiedly that she believed she was no worse than Guanxing in terms of intelligence.

"Oh?" Guanxing looked up at Haitu and said calmly, "The plan you mentioned is that you recklessly broke out of the world bubble and then floated in the quantum sea? If we hadn't picked you up, you would still be floating in the quantum sea now."

"That...that was just an accident!"

When Haitu heard this, her momentum dropped instantly. That incident was indeed a mistake she made as she was in such a hurry to leave Tianqiong City.

"A true strategist must be able to plan everything out."

Guanxing rolled his eyes at Haitu and continued with his plan.

"Hahaha~ I've never seen such a strong Theresa before."

Jizi was laughing at the side. She had never seen such a strong Theresa. Although the other party only looked similar to Theresa, the exact same appearance made it difficult for Jizi not to associate her with Theresa.

"I've already said that I'm not that little girl named Theresa."

Stargazing sighed and said.

"Theresa? Little girl?"

However, what Guanxing didn't expect was that Ji Zi laughed even more happily after hearing this.

“I never thought that one day Theresa would be called a little girl!”

Ji Zi laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, and Guanxing was curious about what she saw.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No, no, Theresa is indeed like a child."

Himeko said, stifling a laugh.

"All right!"

Guanxing placed the map he had already drawn in front of several people.

"So fast?"

Xier said in surprise. Although she knew that Stargazing was very powerful, she didn't expect that the other party could complete the plan in such a short time.

"Of course. Even though the war situation changes a thousand times, it is still within our expectations."

Guanxing raised his head proudly.

"real or fake?"

Haitu watched the movie in disbelief, then picked up the map she had placed on the table and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, Haitu slowly put down the map, then looked at Guanxing in astonishment and said.

"What's wrong with your brain? You can actually think of this method!"

"Is he really that amazing?"

Xier curiously approached Brownie and looked at the map in her hand.

There were so many arrows and signs on it that Xier was dazzled.

"What does it mean?"

Xier looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand what the stargazing painting was about, so she had to ask Brownie.

"Really? You didn't understand?"

Brownie just felt it was incredible, and then she suddenly realized and said: "Oh, by the way, this is a special mark on Hyperion. I have read their logs, so I know, but you haven't seen it, right?"

"what?"

Xi'er was dumbfounded. Does this thing need to be written with a special marker? Is it so secret?

"It's not for keeping secrets. This method is generally used to assist thinking. It can describe a considerable number of things with the least amount of words, similar to a code or something like that."

Stargazing explained: "Well, let me tell you the general plan."

"First of all, according to Seele's information, all the masters don't know the real situation, but it doesn't matter. Our goal is to let several groups of heroic spirits open the Holy Grail, and after the Holy Grail is opened, our real battle will begin."

Guan Xing tapped the map with his finger and said, "My plan is to unite with Saber and Lancer first, and keep as many people alive as possible before the final battle. No one knows how powerful the final boss is, so we must prepare for the best and worst."

"Why do you want to unite Saber and Lancer?"

Xier was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that she could deal with all the heroic spirits by herself. She just had some difficulties when facing their Noble Phantasms.

"No, our goal is not to unite them but to divide them."

Guan Xing said: "When you eliminate the first one, they will be wary of you. When you attack the second one, they will unite to resist you. Even you may be injured or even seriously injured when you are unprepared, so I don't plan to do that."

"What we need to do is to give everyone an illusion that we intend to unite with one of them. This way, they will be cautious when facing others because they don't know who we are uniting with. Others will also be wary of them. The essence of tactics lies in the combination of truth and falsehood. As long as they don't unite, our goal will be achieved."

Guanxing waved his fan gently and said.

"Will it go that smoothly?"

Xier also understood Guanxing's plan, but regardless of whether the other party could believe it, every heroic spirit came with his own wishes, and would not easily unite with the other party, right?

As if seeing Xier's worry, Guanxing shook his fan and said, "People always die for profit. Profit is the root of this war. It's up to me then."

"Okay, so where should we go first?"

"No hurry, we need to split into two groups. There are exactly four of us, so we can split into two groups and let one person pretend to be the Master and one pretend to be the Heroic Spirit. This way it will be easier to gain the trust of others."

"They already know my identity, so I just need someone who can pretend to be the Master, but as for Sakura..."

Seele suddenly remembered that she had appeared in front of them with Sakura before, so Sakura would naturally be considered as the Master.

"That's fine. Then let Miss Himeko pretend to be the Master. Doesn't the Holy Grail War allow Heroic Spirits who have lost their Master to join someone else's army? Miss Himeko can act as a magician, and Miss Seele can act as a Servant who has lost her Master. After all, your Master is only there to provide magical power. You pretend that your original Master was killed, and you joined Himeko's army to protect Sakura. Anyway, you don't need any magical power from the Master. As for the original casters, as long as we use this identity first, they won't be a problem."

Guanxing gave a wicked smile and made clear arrangements for the caster who had not yet appeared.

"You have such a dirty mind for playing tactics."

Haitu looked at Guanxing in silence, who could have thought that the caster group would disappear before they even showed up.

"Okay, little rabbit, come and join me."

"Huh? Why should I be in a group with you?"

Brownie said unhappily.

"Why so many whys? Let's go."

"Hey! Stop pulling my hat, I sewed it myself!"

Chapter 9: Undercurrent (Part 1)

"Help... Help! Someone come and save me! Gulu... Save... Save... Me..."

Screams of fear rang out in the alley, but no one could hear the cry for help in this remote place at night. The voices for help became smaller and smaller, and finally only vague whimpers were left. Only the bloodstains that slightly spread to the side of the alley could prove that there had been human traces here. The entire alley returned to silence again, as if nothing had happened.

In the morning, the police surrounded the alley tightly, attracting curious glances from people around.

"Hey, I heard someone died here?"

"Yeah, it looks like it. Didn't you see the police have blocked this place?"

"It's really strange, how can someone die in this place?"

"I heard from my aunt's niece's third aunt's son's sister that this is the sixth case this month and the police have yet to solve the case."

"Is this true? How come such a big thing didn't make it into the newspapers?"

"Oh, how can we talk about this so easily? It would make the police seem incompetent."

"That's right."

People around were constantly whispering, and the story became more and more mysterious and bizarre, with some even saying it was a bizarre story about an ancient evil spirit causing trouble.
