Soon, the screen was completely stained red.

Five seconds later, the red color faded, and the mysterious man's figure reappeared.

He had led a large group of little girls out of the underground space and stood in the air without any support, looking down at the underground boxing ring below, like an artist admiring his masterpiece.

Then he turned and walked away into the distance.

One by one, little girls rushed towards him, their figures overlapping with his before disappearing from sight.

It felt like he had returned to his body.

The video is over.

The image freezes on the mysterious man's departing figure.

"What does it mean?"

Svina put down her tablet, looked at the dog-eared youth, and asked, "This man keeps a bunch of ghosts on his body? And those ghosts killed the people in the boxing ring?"

"There's really no way to be sure about that."

The dog-eared youth sighed, "'Truth transcends everything' provides images that are all metaphorical. While it can restore the truth to a certain extent, it is not a direct copy of the past."

"In short, the only thing we can be sure of is that the other side does indeed harbor many highly threatening beings, and it is most likely that they are spiritual beings."

"This mysterious man may possess the talent to command spiritual life forms... no, this level of quantity should be considered psionic energy."

"Or... this might be a very special high-level item, possibly even reaching grade A."

"Using spiritual life forms..." Svina asked, "Are there any similar records in the database of criminal players?"

No, this is the first time it has appeared.

The dog-eared youth said, "We mobilized a lot of people last night and this morning to conduct detailed interviews with the surrounding residents, but we didn't find any relevant clues."

"If I'm not mistaken, this mysterious man may also possess the ability to manipulate other people's memories."

"Manipulating memories... No wonder he's a master of mental manipulation. It seems a dangerous and formidable figure has arrived in Roman City!"

Svina handed the tablet back to the dog-eared youth and laughed, "Thankfully, our mission is over. I don't want to deal with such dangerous people. By the way, has the bounty been issued?"

"We submitted the documents this morning."

The dog-eared youth replied, "Once the review is complete, we should be able to see it this afternoon."

"Well, with this bounty, silencing those boars shouldn't be a problem."

A weight was lifted from Sivina's heart.

Although she wasn't afraid of those trashy people, they weren't low-status individuals, and dealing with them would be quite troublesome if they got involved.

"Offering a bounty is just a way to shift the blame. There aren't many people who actually dare to chase after wanted criminals," the dog-eared youth said. "There will definitely be some people who are unhappy about it."

"Hehe, just a few isolated voices, no need to pay attention to them."

Sivina gave a disdainful look and said, "Anyone on the game's government wanted list is a high-risk individual."

"These guys are all cowards who only bully the weak. At most, they'll howl a few times, but that's not much of a problem."

“We’ve already provided the clues and issued the arrest warrant. If they really have the guts, they can go and confront the wanted criminal themselves…”

At this point, she suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "By the way, has the train bounty broadcast targeting 'the destruction of a country' stopped?"

"It stopped a month ago."

The dog-eared youth replied.

"Phew..." Sivina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These idiots have finally stopped courting death."

"Captain Si, the government is just responding to the game company's request and making a broadcast in response. It shouldn't have any impact, right?"

The dog-eared youth reminded him, "Besides, the G08 node is so large. Even if 'Destroy the Nation' is a super player, can he really take his anger out on destroying an entire node?"

"Destroying a node is naturally impossible."

Sivina said, "But have you ever heard of the saying 'the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows'? Our 001 partition is the most well-known partition on the G08 node, and it's possible that it will be used as a warning to others."

"I always thought the train announcement reward was idiotic! If there's an order from above, why not just pay lip service to it? Why would they have to carry it out?"

"Heh... these idiots have finally quieted down now."

Dog-eared youth: "..."

Captain Sivina is a habitual slacker. Not only does she dump all sorts of tasks on him, but she also frequently promotes the so-called "slacking-off mentality" in front of them.

Doesn't she realize that her actions are contradictory?

If they also slack off, who will do the work?

"Captain Si, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

The dog-eared youth said to Sivina.

“Hmm,” Svetlana waved her hand, “You may leave.”

When the dog-eared youth reached the door and opened it halfway...

"and many more."

Sivina stopped him and asked, "When you issue a bounty, you need a specific name, right? What nickname did you give this high-level psychic player?"

Giving someone a nickname is a traditional approach when encountering a criminal player whose identity is unknown.

The nickname "Destroy the Country" was given to him by outsiders, not his original player nickname.

The dog-eared player stopped opening the door, turned around, and said, "The other party's characteristics are quite obvious. We'll tentatively classify them as... a child-raiser."

"...Is this name for real?"

"They are all based on characteristics."

The dog-eared player replied: "It was originally tentatively set as 'Lord of Evil Spirits,' referring to the fact that the other party has raised a group of evil spirits."

"But considering that the little girls seem to only turn into evil spirits when they attack others, and the close relationship they showed with that man, like father and daughter..."

"In short, after careful consideration, we have settled on the current name."

“Alright,” Svetlana accepted this suggestion, “You can go now.”

……

Meanwhile, Fan Xiao, who had accumulated 12 days of good luck, returned to Rice Manor and met his little girl teacher.

Chapter 248 The Sister Begins to Take Action

"Teacher, I'm back."

Fan Xiao handed a box of exquisitely packaged pastries to Tina, who was reading a book.

The next second, the old butler suddenly appeared in the third-floor garden where there were only two people.

He took the pastry box from Tina, opened it, and placed it on the round stone table in front of her.

Tina glanced at it, and the old butler understood, picking up a piece and feeding it to her.

After taking a bite and chewing a few times, Tina commented, "It's too sweet, a bit cloying, and a bit dry. I won't buy it next time."

Fan Xiao: "..."

It seems that Teacher Tina doesn't know what politeness is.

Or perhaps she understands, but she's just very rude to her students.

Fan Xiao's gaze fell on the old butler, lingering for two seconds, somewhat wondering if the other party had directly jumped over from space, or... been released from the dungeon by Tina?

The old butler and the maids in the manor were all instanced creatures—he had previously suspected this.

There's no basis for it; it's just a gut feeling.

"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise don't bother me while I'm reading."

Tina said to Fan Xiao without looking up.

Fan Xiao glanced at the book in her hand; the title on the hardcover cover was in the upper left corner—"The Power of God: A Materialized History."

...This book seems quite serious?

Fan Xiao's curiosity was piqued, so he asked, "Teacher, can I borrow this book to take a look?"

"It's too early for you."

Tina said in a slightly languid voice, "When you become an A-level player, I'll give it to you as a congratulatory gift."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao's curiosity only intensified.

He suspected that Tina was doing it on purpose.

I deliberately took out this book in front of him, and then kept him in suspense, making him want it but unable to get it.

Is this interesting?

Are you thinking I'm deliberately teasing you?

Tina suddenly asked.

Fan Xiao countered, "Teachers probably don't have any mind-reading abilities, right?"

"Even if I did, do you think I would tell you? It's just a coincidence."

Tina said in a completely unchanged tone.

Now Fan Xiao believed it really was a coincidence.

If it were a prank, Tina would probably have already slightly curled the corners of her mouth, deliberately letting him see it.

He saw it, knew he was being tricked, but there was nothing he could do... Fan Xiao had long ago discovered that Tina was a hidden schemer, but not to a very serious degree.

"Oh, right, there's something I need to remind you of."

At that moment, Tina suddenly closed the book in her hand and returned it to her storage space.

Then she raised her head slightly, looked at Fan Xiao, and said, "You completed an assassination last night that was very much in line with the principles of the Tribunal for Life. By normal standards, you have already passed the test."

"Teacher, judging from your tone..." Fan Xiao asked, "Do I have to act a little abnormal to better meet your requirements?"

“It’s entirely up to you,” Tina said with a slight smile. “I’m giving you the freedom to decide whether or not to submit your assessment results. You can finish the assessment now, or… try again.”

"...Actually, you can say it outright: you're not satisfied with my previous assassination attempt."

Fan Xiao kindly reminded him.

“No, you’re wrong,” Tina said. “It’s not ‘not very satisfied,’ it’s ‘very dissatisfied.’ If you submit the previous assassination attempt as the final assessment, I will be very disappointed.”

"Although I'm disappointed, I can still pass, right?" Fan Xiao confirmed.

"That's it."

Tina rested her elbows on the armrests of her chair, propped her cheek up with her right hand, and asked in a slightly languid posture, "So, are you going to submit it?"

"Actually, I had guessed this possibility before I came back."

Fan Xiao smiled and asked, "Teacher, could you tell me what reward you would give me if I could please you even more?"

"It's a secret." Tina didn't give a straight answer.

Fan Xiao changed the subject: "Then can the teacher tell me what you are not satisfied with?"

"Okay, consider it a lesson in advance."

Tina crossed her right leg over her left, maintaining a casual posture, and said, "You killed 15 people and left 67 alive. I'm not happy about that."

"...Teacher, one of the rules of our Court of Life is to respect life. Do you want me to kill them all?"

"What's wrong with killing everyone who deserves to be killed?"

"Then what are your criteria for defining 'deserving to be killed'?"

Fan Xiao asked in detail, "Is it the different laws in each district, or your own moral values?"

Upon hearing this question, Tina's lips curled up again.

Instead of answering the question, she asked in return, "Did you have any concerns before?"

"...What exactly do you mean by 'teacher'?"
