Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

They could only watch as their grandmother took the blame for this fabricated crime and walked step by step toward the abyss of death.

She lowered her head helplessly; she was just a coward.

She was afraid of dying, but even more afraid of letting her grandmother down.

If she dares to step forward, not only will she fail to save her, but she will also get herself killed.

Because I am just a timid cat...

Finally, she lowered her vertical pupils helplessly, her heart feeling as if it were being torn apart by a knife.

Although the voting is still ongoing, the result is already obvious.

Given such a heinous act of theft, the already emotional citizens of Dolores will surely sentence her to death.

However, the story did not unfold as Katniss had planned. She suddenly sensed something extremely terrifying behind her, like a tiger unleashed from its cage, staring intently at her.

She turned around but saw nothing, only feeling a chill run down her spine.

"who?!!!"

Is it just my imagination that no one is there?

She gasped for breath, then turned around in horror, while the people below the stage buzzed with discussion.

"What's wrong with Elder Katniss?"

"I don't know? You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

But for some reason, Sai Fei'er, sitting in the audience, suddenly remembered those tarot cards and those five copper coins.

"Could it be that he's telling the truth? Can he really change all of this?" Sai Fei'er felt as if the money bag in her hand was a hot potato, burning her face.

Of course, standing behind Katniss was Lu Qing. She didn't have much affection for this old bastard. In her previous life, this guy had also tried to kill her using Judgment.

Isn't it just about lurking by her side, secretly helping the princess, and incidentally undermining her power?

Why get so angry?

[Hanabi: Katniss: Are you even speaking human language?]

[Crydella: The defender of Katniss, sentenced to death, single-handedly divided into five groups to fight the Black Tide.]

[Hanabi: Come and catch Miss Hanabi! If you catch her, I'll let you...hehehe.]

[Firefly: I'll make a note of this.]

[Fireworks: @Firefly, what are you doing, you jerk?]

[Fireworks: @Kerudela, wait, on another note, is it possible to reconcile?]

But now, the situation has reversed.

Now that he has become the Lord of Silence, no one knows him and they all treat him as nothing. The old grudges and new scores from his previous life must now be settled.

Katniss, you need to give me some tape.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing extended his long, slender fingers and grabbed her throat, then applied slight pressure.

A strong feeling of suffocation instantly filled Katniss's heart.

She couldn't breathe and just wanted to pry open the hands clamping her throat, but it was no use.

However, Lu Qing always felt that letting her die like this was too easy for her.

Lu Qingsong released his grip, leaped into the air, his clothes fluttering, swung his arm in a wide arc, and delivered a punch that resembled a meteor falling to the ground.

"What is that?" Katniss, who had just caught her breath, looked up at the mosaic in the sky.

"Boom——"

With the added force of the terrifying explosion, Katniss's body exploded, her slender frame slammed into the ground, and even the basalt judgment platform broke apart!

The overflowing gale swept across the heavens and earth.

"What happened?"

"Is Elder Katniss alright?"

"It's hard to believe this didn't happen. Who did this?"

The mosaic that threw that punch quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, as if it had never existed.

Countless senators, their henchmen, leaped onto the judgment platform, only to fall silent as they gazed upon Katniss, now reduced to a bloody pulp.

"This trial is now concluded and will be resumed at a later date," said one of the purgers, who had taken command.

The little kitten girl had already raised her head, her pupils wide open, her eyes sparkling.

That mosaic killed Katniss?

But now, her grandmother's danger is not over yet, though at least she has gained a chance, and she feels the money bag in her hand is getting heavier and heavier.

"I'm really not human, cat!!!"

[Aglaia: A Jazzy Cat Who Knows How to Reflect!!]

[Fireworks: Actually, you weren't even human to begin with.]

[Star: Let me tell you something you don't know.]

Chapter 113 What does it mean that my wallet is gone?

As the saying goes, once the deed is done, one should leave without leaving behind any merit or fame.

Lu Qing felt refreshed.

Killing Katniss was just a side effect; his real goal was to buy some time so he could help Saifei rescue her grandmother.

The aroma of Dixie Pies from the street vendors made Lu Qing's mouth water, and since she hadn't eaten dinner yet...

Lu Qing's smile froze on her face.

There was only one tarot deck; the once bulging wallet was gone.

In addition, there were five and a half copper coins left.

After a careful recollection, Lu Qing quickly identified the culprit.

Saifeier, I really owe you something.

Lu Qing sighed, naturally not intending to pursue the matter, after all, he still owed a lot of money from the last simulation.

Catgirl, your hands aren't very clean.

"Boss, how much are the pies?"

Six copper coins.

"Selling it for such a high price? Can you guarantee the cake is cooked through?"

"Are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

Forget it, I'm magnanimous, I won't hold it against you. Let's go home.

On the street at dusk, Saifeier clutched her bulging money bag tightly.

I'm so hungry, but this is that strange benefactor's wallet, I can't open it. She shook her cat head.

However, money is absolutely necessary to rescue Grandma, so... I'll pay him back later when I earn more.

She sniffled.

Since that's the case, I'll spend a little first, it's okay, right?

Sai Fei'er, neither convinced nor confident, untied the rope binding the money bag.

Then, she looked at the famous Dipsy Pie shop on the street.

"Boss, how are they selling?"

Six copper coins.

"so cheap?"

"Business is tough these days. That guy just insisted on buying a pie for five and a half copper coins, but I wouldn't allow it. These days, even the poorest person wouldn't only have five and a half copper coins on them, right? What do you think, young lady?"

"Hmm, that makes a lot of sense, meow~"

“That’s right.” The burly shopkeeper put the pie in front of him into a bag and then handed it to Sai Fei’er.

Looking at the steaming hot pie, Sai Fei'er didn't hesitate at all and took a bite, making the neighbor's children drool with envy.

She tentatively asked, "Boss, do you know where that person went?"

"How would I know? I didn't notice. He's actually quite good-looking, though. I didn't have the heart to scold him."

Now, Sai Fei'er felt much less burdened.

It's not that I don't want to pay you back, it's that I can't find you, meow.

As for tonight, she planned to spend the night near that famous Yorozuya. Hotels were too expensive for her, and she dared not go home, lest those Senate henchmen have already set their sights on her and try to pin the blame for Katniss's death on her.

With that thought in mind, she stuffed a pie into her mouth and quickly headed towards the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop). Then she found a nearby tree and swiftly climbed up it.

High places are a safe place to live, far away from the local area, and can escape the bites of those hyenas. In Sai Fei'er's childhood memories, those hyenas were terrifying. If they hadn't been unable to climb trees, she might have died at the hands of those hyenas last time.

A scorching summer breeze, carrying the heat of a summer night in Dolores, gently lifted the black hood of a figure in the treetop, revealing a delicate face covered with scars and teeth marks.

She looked down at the house called Yorozuya nestled among the trees.

He weighed the money pouch in his hand again.

This money should be enough, right?

[Hanabi: Just thinking about what will happen next makes me want to laugh.]

[Star: Saifei: I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?]

[Xing: Lao Qing: Why does your money bag look so familiar?]

Early morning, just as the first rays of sunlight fall.

As always, Lu Qing pushed open the door of "Yorozuya". He hadn't eaten dinner last night, so he got up earlier than everyone else.

"Damn it, I'll never eat Dixie Pie again in my life! You're such a jerk! If you eat Dixie Pie again, I'll jump off the building!" Lu Qing muttered fiercely. As a master chef, he planned to make a pot of fish soup.

It's still early; no one will come knocking on my door asking me for favors.

They were out of salt, so Lu Qing decided to go to a nearby shop to buy some.

Presumably, no one would steal a pot of fish they cooked.

A cat girl with an evil cat head on her head, perched on a tree canopy, smelled the aroma of her favorite fish soup. She opened her eyes groggily and looked at the pot and the fish soup at her feet.

"Sai Fei'er, you can't do this! You asked the owner of the Yorozuya for help!"

"So hungry, so hungry, so hungry..." She was almost delirious with hunger.

I'll just eat one, just one. He won't notice, there are so many small fish.

Two, just two, I will never take any more.

She couldn't remember how many she had eaten; she hadn't had a proper meal since her grandmother was arrested.

Just like catnip, this fish was something Saifei couldn't control herself from.

When she came to her senses, the fish soup was completely gone; not only was there no fish left, but there was no soup left either.

"Maybe I should take the cat for a walk first..."

Just as she was thinking, she felt her hood being lifted up. She felt that the man in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

"You little brat? Don't you have any morals? You drank the fish soup, what am I supposed to drink?"

[Aglaia: Don't yell at her. Don't you know anything about gentle persuasion? She's still a child.]

The person who arrived was none other than Lu Qing, who was furious and almost laughed out of anger.

He hasn't eaten for almost a day.

Then, he turned his gaze to the distant Dipsy Pie.

It seems like nothing happened to me even if I jumped off the building.

"You wait here, I'll be back in a bit to settle the score with you."
