Enraged, the trashy saintess began to launch personal attacks against her.

But she wasn't buying it!

Her breasts are of normal size for a woman, but not to the point where they should be singled out for humiliation.

"You've gone off-topic."

At this moment, Yu Xuezhao reminded everyone.

Her gaze fell on Alpha.

Although she was also quite interested in watching the chaotic scene unfold in her junior brother's backyard, Alpha's anomaly was currently more captivating to her.

It must be said that my junior brother created a magical creation.

Even she has been criticized by this creation a few times... The key is that she can't easily lose her temper.

To argue with a simple, inquisitive child would make her seem like she has no elder's manners at all.

If only I could find a proper opportunity to beat up my junior brother and vent my anger.

If... she sends Alpha to her teacher, I wonder what kind of sparks will fly?

Yu Xuezhao's reminder drew everyone's attention back to Alpha.

Bathed in these gazes, Alpha said, "Yesterday morning, when Alpha went out to buy groceries..."

"Wait, are you going out to buy groceries?" Lu Xining asked with a strange expression.

Nori is a kind person; she shouldn't let Alpha run around.

Could it be that Fan Xiao took the initiative to lift the restriction that prevented this idiot from going out?

Isn't he afraid that Alpha will be killed after it goes out...? There should be psionic monitoring, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Fan Xiaozhen has such a twisted sense of humor, actually letting this idiot out to cause trouble for others, how wicked... Hmm, she likes it.

"The master said that if you get bored in the manor, you can go out for a stroll, just don't go too far."

After answering, Alpha continued, "So yesterday morning, Alpha went out to buy groceries with the other maids and ran into two middle-aged men."

"The uncles were talking about the current economic problems in District 001. They said that the unemployment rate is high recently, people have no money in their wallets, and finally complained about the helplessness of life."

"The economic situation has indeed been quite bad lately," the saintess nodded.

"However, Alpha discovered a contradiction."

The white-haired artificial girl continued, "Alpha picked a busy office building, went in and asked around, and found that everyone had a job. Alpha then went to the big restaurant next door and asked around, and found that everyone could easily afford a big meal... This contradicts what the uncle said."

"...So that's all you're wondering about?" The saintess's eye twitched. "You understand statistics."

Everyone, including the saintess, was hesitant to speak for a moment.

Today's Alpha seems even dumber.

……

Half past four in the afternoon.

Yu Xuezhao's maid, Youbai, returned to Rice Manor with Song Qingshan and Ying, who had completed their assessments.

The members of the court branch finally officially gathered in Division 001.

Fan Xiao got the Pleiades busy, calling on Nori to join in and throw a welcoming banquet for everyone.

The banquet ended at 7:30 p.m.

Nori was freed from her stay-at-home duties and excitedly ran out to attend the "Night Congress Meeting"... which was actually just a meeting for people with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Over the years, Nori wasn't alone in her single-player chuunibyou journey; she met many like-minded people online and even had casual sex with quite a few offline.

As a princess who was hidden and marginalized by the royal family, the people who truly recognized her identity were basically influential figures in Division 001, or people engaged in intelligence work.

Therefore, she doesn't need to worry about social barriers between herself and commoners due to her noble status.

After Nori left the manor, Fan Xiao had Yin lead the newly returned group to the large conference room in the manor—a conference room converted from a side hall.

Fan Xiao sat at the head of the table, adjusted his monocle over his right eye, and then silently opened the entrance to Fairy Tale Town, allowing the instance space to overlap with the real space of the conference room.

This can effectively prevent intelligence gathering by some reconnaissance tools.

After all, not every prop can achieve such a bizarre level of "truth transcends everything" and directly observe the past.

Most items will have their effects blocked by the dungeon.

In the dungeon environment that had descended upon them, Fan Xiao also had Yan Keke create a vast illusion that enveloped the area.

Under the dual veil of spatial obstruction and illusory deception, Fan Xiao looked at his companions gathered around the oval conference table and said, "Before we begin our discussion on organizational development and recent plans, I have something to announce first—I'm going to change the name of our branch."

"Change your name? Why the sudden name change?" Li Xian asked first.

"The previous organization was called 'Chaoge,' which has nothing to do with the historical dynasty name of the 010 district. It was simply taken from the meaning of singing at dawn and welcoming the rising sun."

Fan Xiao said calmly, "The assassination by the Tribunal of Life is a means, not an end."

"I hope that our existence can guide the world toward a better future, so I chose this rather energetic name."

"In my vision of the future, we will gradually develop and strengthen our branch organization, slowly influence the entire G08 node, and move towards the social state that the Court of Life expects."

"However……"

He shook his head and sighed softly, "After traveling to other nodes, I found that most of the worlds involved in the evolution game were like those that were seriously ill, devastated and in ruins."

"Even the seemingly glamorous Roman City, Division 001, is secretly shrouded in the darkness of the Evolution Game and is gradually becoming a scene of devastation."

"In this context, trying to change the world in a lukewarm way is too inefficient and unacceptable."

"The chessboard has been corrupted and filthy by those who have already seized power. To fundamentally change this and achieve immediate results, we must take drastic measures."

In his junior sister's division, he saw the results of his drastic measures—after killing off a group of high-ranking officials, including Shash Sen, his junior sister's division was clearly starting to develop in a better state.

Presumably, in a few years, that place will fully recover and gradually become prosperous again.

"Darling, you've got the power, and your mind's gotten too big. You're not going to come at a slow pace anymore."

The saintess sighed, "With extorting A-level players as a way to make money, you're even skipping the organization's normal development process... Won't that make your income too singular?"

She cautioned, "Making money is quick, but development is the only way to make it last."

"This is a serious meeting. Please refrain from making jokes and lighthearted remarks."

After giving the Holy Maiden a warning look, Fan Xiao continued, "The so-called drastic measures... well, I'm sure you've guessed the method."

"The Living Tribunal is, in essence, an assassin's guild. Development is not our fundamental goal; changing the world through radical means is."

"In that case, we don't need so many roundabout ways. It's better to be straightforward—whoever is the malignant tumor that hinders the arrival of a better society, whoever is exploiting the human world, we will eliminate them and make them spit out what they have ingested, so that the exploited human world can be blessed."

After a pause, he offered a preliminary explanation: "In marine ecosystems, there is a similar phenomenon. When a whale dies in the ocean, its carcass eventually sinks to the seabed, supporting a cycle system dominated by decomposers for up to a hundred years, sustaining the survival of at least 43 species and 12490 organisms, and promoting the prosperity of deep-sea life."

This phenomenon is called a whale fall.

"From today onwards, Whale Fall will be our new organization name."

Chapter 624 Plundering Cherry Blossoms

“Whale fall… I see. So you want to wipe out the top-level people at the current nodes?”

Upon hearing Fan Xiaoqi's new name, Yu Xuezhao immediately understood his meaning: "You are quite capable now, so you really don't need to act so slowly anymore."

If the branch can establish itself at the G08 node sooner, she can go back and report back sooner.

Having been out for so long, her desire to run dungeons had become very strong.

Although observing her junior's life was quite interesting, she was ultimately not as free as her teacher.

She still needs to work hard to advance to the S-rank level.

Fan Xiao: "..."

No, how come Yu Xue Zhao also tacitly agreed that he was going to carry out a massacre?

Is it appropriate for a senior sister to view her junior brother like this?

"Ahem... Senior Sister, let me correct you a little," Fan Xiao said. "Our goal is to make the G08 node better, so we can't just kill indiscriminately."

"There aren't many good people at the top," Yu Xuezhao reminded her.

"That being said, it is still necessary to distinguish. We have the highest level of A-grade mental energy here, so it is not difficult to distinguish friend from foe."

Fan Xiao outlined his general plan: "Our ultimate goal is to subject the G08 node to a 'whale fall' shock."

"However, eradicating all the cancers is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. We can start with small goals."

"For example, first use a large-scale assassination to make a name for yourself, making Whale Fall a sharp sword to deter other regional forces, and continuously sharpen its edge."

"Fear can, to some extent, lead to a more stable order because the cost of doing evil becomes higher."

"deterrence……"

Li Xian, who was sitting near the door, suddenly asked, "Is it necessary to actively expose our existence, which would increase the risk?"

"Old Li, it seems you don't quite understand the concept of the Court of Life."

Fan Xiao cautioned, "Our goal isn't to kill secretly; assassination is just a means to an end. The key is the subsequent impact."

"If everything is done quietly, even if the goal is achieved, it will only be a change of senior management at the G08 node, and nothing will change much in essence."

"So...we have to kill high-profile. We have to spread our deterrence and become the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of those powerful forces."

He paused, then continued, "Of course, we must act entirely from the perspective of 'Whale Fall' and not have any connection with the position of the Living Tribunal."

"Of course, darling."

The saintess interjected, "The name of the Living Tribunal is indeed useful; just revealing it might scare away many people. But... while enjoying the benefits of this halo, we might also have to face attacks from game companies... They don't want to live a life on the run."

After saying that, she suddenly changed the subject and added, "Of course, if it's with Darling... then there's nothing to hesitate about."

“It’s easy for things to go wrong when you’re going through thick and thin together,” Lu Xining suddenly said.

Saint: "..."

This guy……!

Fan Xiao frowned and said, "You two, pay attention. This is a branch meeting. Be serious."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xining sat up straight and immediately became very obedient.

The saintess stopped trying to gain the upper hand verbally and got down to business, saying, "Darling, who are you planning to target? To establish a deterrent effect, the first battle has to be fought well, and the target can't be too small."

“Of course it’s…our old friend,” Fan Xiao said directly: “Star Memory City.”

"Star Memory City..."

Lu Baizhi's eyes glazed over for a moment.

Lu Xining narrowed her eyes.

Li Xian and Song Qingshan also showed unusual expressions.

That's a familiar name.

In the early stages when the 010 district was first involved in the Evolution Game, Star Memory City sent many D-level players with B-level items to cause trouble, resulting in many casualties among ordinary people.

They've always remembered this.

Someone came and ran wild on their territory, putting their homes and loved ones in danger at one point... How can they not retaliate against such a grudge?

I just didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

They were a little surprised, and a little excited.

If conditions allowed, Li Xian would have even considered contacting the Special Affairs Bureau to send some players to help him take revenge together—he only considered this thought for a moment before suppressing it.

Exposing one's homeland before the Whale Fall organization gains sufficient deterrence and status would be foolish and likely to invite retaliation.

This matter can only be handled by them; no outsiders should be allowed to get involved.

"So it's finally time to make a move against Xingyi City... This cancer has been around for too long, it really needs to be removed."

Li Xian nodded, a rare sign of enthusiasm appearing on his usually expressionless face.

He was one of the heads of the Special Affairs Bureau, and his hostility towards Xingyi City was even greater than that of the others.

"Star City is one of the strongholds of cannibalistic players, and our target is naturally not just this safe zone city."

Fan Xiao said, "This time, I plan to eradicate all the cannibalistic player factions in Division 004."
