Their commission was suspicious.

However, the opponent seems to be dead, and was even beaten to death twice by Chen Luo.

Now, it is Machiri who has been resurrected in the other's body.

However... Chen Luo felt that doing this was indeed letting the old bug off too easily, so he kept a backup plan.

When Chen Luo used the Friendship-Breaking Fist to turn the old bug back into Machiri, he deliberately used his peeling ability to peel off a piece of material.

A decaying soul

Needless to say, this is the soul of the old bug.

He and Machiri represent two sides of Zorgen: one a champion of justice, the other a corrupt scum.

Five hundred years of obsession had indeed severely poisoned Machiri's soul. In order to help her recover more smoothly and to make her soul purer, Chen Luo chose to use his peeling ability to separate the two sides.

The old bug is the old bug, and Machiri is Machiri.

After cutting off this part of the soul, it became much easier to restore Machiri using the Friendship Breaking Fist.

Otherwise, 500 years of persistence would have resulted in at least five deaths.

Reshaping this soul into a separate individual almost exhausted Chen Luo.

It wasn't until this morning that it was successful.

Moreover, Chen Luo seems to have discovered something else.

That is, if the old bug is equipped with 500 years of perseverance, the effect will be doubled.

Originally, Chen Luo had planned to throw an old bug at the opponent later to take the hit when dealing with the puppet Gabriel.

The old bug's strength was definitely no match for that beam of light, so the opponent was bound to die.

In this way, after taking the damage from the old bug's retreat, the opponent's Noble Phantasm and ultimate move will be sealed.

The reason it wasn't used... is because the successive departures of the angels Gabriel Patchouli and Yvette had already sealed the doll Gabriel's Noble Phantasm and ultimate move for a total of one hour.

Although Chen Luo did put the old bug's soul into the bug, which would reduce the cost of resurrection, resurrecting the bug still requires magic power.

Chen Luo believed that there would be plenty of opportunities for the old bug to be repeatedly desecrated in the future.

"Brother Chen Luo..." After wandering around the Matou residence for a while, Chen Luo, who was looking for Machiri, encountered a girl who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Hey, it's Sakura. How have you been doing here lately? Has Machiri been bullying you?"

Although... caring is subconscious.

Machiri's reputation has been damaged.

"Grandpa is very good to me. He bought me a lot of beautiful clothes, and... thank you, Brother Chen Luo." Xiaoying played with her long purple hair before bowing to Chen Luo.

After Sakura emerged from her cocoon, her entire body and part of her soul were completely reshaped, and her memories were purified. In short, a lot of her memories disappeared, but she still remembered what she needed to remember.

For example, the importance of Chen Luo in changing his own destiny.

Chen Luo didn't know why the other person had such long purple hair, but he still quite liked long hair.

"You're welcome. Just let me study your magic circuits later. Want some candy?" Chen Luo took out a lollipop, bent down, and handed it to Xiaoying.

"Thank you, Brother Chen Luo. If you want to do research in the future, just come over." Xiaoying took the lollipop from Chen Luo and said with her head down.

Sakura has already started receiving basic magic knowledge tutoring from Machiri. She knows what magic circuits represent and where they are, so she is a little shy about Chen Luo's request.

After all, they were at an age of naivety, knowing a little bit but not much, and they were always shy.

However, firstly, Chen Luo did completely change the other party's fate, and secondly, Chen Luo's title of "Loli King" was also extremely effective.

Furthermore, since the other party's body was indeed reshaped by Chen Luo, although Chen Luo's humanization of her was slight, it was deepened due to the special effect of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, so she may develop a sense of dependence on Chen Luo similar to that of a family member.

"Emmm..." Chen Luo stared at Xiaoying absentmindedly.

"Master? What's wrong?" Little Xilin waved her hand in front of Chen Luo.

Xilin was brought by Chen Luo on his way home.

"Ah, oh, it's nothing. Sakura, go play. I need to talk to your grandfather about something."

"Okay, I'm going to read a book then." Sakura, who was already a little shy from being stared at by Chen Luo for so long, took small steps and ran towards the study.

"It seems that achieving a five-star achievement isn't so difficult after all..." Chen Luo muttered to himself, glancing at the requirements for his Loli King title advancement.

Although I don't know exactly which lolis have a favorability rating of over 80 towards me, Sakura should be one, and Sirin in front of me should be another.

Chen Luo's progress has now reached 16/20.

The Loli King's advanced achievement is—[Loli, submit to me]

What kind of achievement name is this?

angry!

……

"Hmm, have you been rehearsing a play with Kiana and the others lately? It's amazing that they have time for all this. They're so young, what couldn't they do? How come they have such a vibrant and exciting school life?"

"No, I have to keep urging them to go to the Land of Bliss. They can't have the life I wanted!" Chen Luo said bitterly.

Back when Chen Luo was in high school, he never stopped for a moment.

Everyone's busy completing that damn task to unlock their talents, but who knows when they'll actually succeed.

"Master, but I'm playing the Queen inside! Can't you wait until we've finished this play before throwing Kiana and the others into Paradise?" Sirin, sitting on Chen Luo's lap, looked at him pitifully.

“It is possible, but…you? The Queen? What kind of play are you rehearsing?” Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Honkai Impact 2nd Compilation"

"...Whatever makes you happy." Upon hearing the script's title, Chen Luo genuinely couldn't contain himself.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that any actor who can perform in this play could be cast.

Moreover, since it's an abridged version, it must have been heavily modified, so from a generally rational perspective, it's actually feasible.

In this drama, Sirin really is a queen.

That's outrageous! His mother opened the door for him!

To restore his expression to normal, Chen Luo continued to use the gap to monitor the person he was monitoring.

"That girl, Yukari Yakumo, only said that she left a gap in the murderer's house, but she didn't say that she left gaps in other places as well. Where is this? Rin Tohsaka's boudoir?"

Yukari Yakumo has used her boundary ability for countless years, almost pushing it to its limit, which is why the gap has emerged.

The gap that Yakumo Yukari left in place was extremely stable and well-hidden.

Moreover, just as if she were taking special care of Chen Luo, Yakumo Yukari made the gaps she left behind extremely easy to connect.

It's like leaving behind a super-strong WiFi network in the same spot, but this WiFi network has no password. Anyone with Chen Luo's gap-space ability can connect to it.

To be honest, Yukari Yakumo is an incredibly reliable teammate.

After all, the other party's ability to spy and steal information is quite outstanding.

But the most difficult thing is getting Yukari Yakumo to be a teammate.

"Oh, I found it."

After finally tuning his phone to the appropriate channel, Chen Luo began watching.

After taking the Luo Shu into his hands and studying it carefully for a while, Chen Luo turned the hands of the lunar clock.

Chen Luo, the master of time management, is about to make his move again!

If we disconnect from the bar now and jump through time, we can stagger the time slightly.

This is equivalent to keeping the time in the main world unchanged, while adjusting the time in the lunar world forward by six hours.

This way, you can try to avoid the Holy Grail War and the bar's opening hours.

Although those who participate in the Holy Grail War are likely to be uncivilized and might stay up all night.

But it's better than not adjusting the time at all.

Chen Luo didn't want to have to participate in the damn Holy Grail War after he finished running his bar.

"Full, full, full, full, repeating four times..."

"Wait, four times or five times? That... but it was abandoned when it was full... right?" In a dark room, a sunny boy held a book and began chanting some kind of incantation.

"Full, full, full, full, full... Okay, that's five times this time!" The sunny boy seemed happy with himself for being right.

"The following is a follow-up report on the series of bizarre murders in Fuyuki City..." But soon a news report on TV caught the other party's attention.

"At the scene of all three murders so far, there were mysterious patterns resembling magic circles formed from the victims' blood..." the television presenter was saying.

"Ah, I do think I might have been a little too presumptuous." The sunny young man paused his magic circle drawing while listening to the report, and put his hands on the sofa.

Reaching out, the sunny young man picked up the remote control from the sofa and turned off the somewhat annoying television.

Then the other person turned their head to look at a certain spot, revealing a healthy and somewhat lazy smile: "Do you really believe that demons exist, little kid?"

But as the perspective shifts, you can see that a child with tears in his eyes is tied up in the other person's line of sight.

Nearby, there was a large bucket of blood lying around.

This also shows that the seemingly sunny young man in front of us may not be as sunny as he appears on the surface.

"The news and magazines always call me a devil. But if devils really exist, then calling me that is a bit disrespectful to them, and I can't get over that." The not-so-sunny young man slowly walked towards the child whose hands and feet were tied.

"Hello, Ryunosuke Uryu is a demon!"

May I introduce myself like this?

The sunlight wasn't very bright... Ryunosuke Uryuu suddenly squatted down and looked at the child lying on the ground.

The child was terrified, looking at the Rain Dragon Sword with tears in his eyes.

Ryunosuke Uryu: Caster's Master in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

He is a cheerful and optimistic young man who can perceive the subtle feelings of others but is not fussy about details. He always maintains an optimistic and constructive attitude, does not give up after failure, has a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and earnestly enjoys life—except that his interests are torture, murder, and disposing of corpses.

A person with an inherently evil nature, like Kirei Kotomine, who killed 42 people before summoning a Servant.

The difference is that Kirei Kotomine has a moral compass, while the other party does not.

After all, Kirei Kotomine comes from a good family and has always worked at the church.

Ryunosuke Uryu had no interest in the Holy Grail and was unaware of its existence before summoning Caster. However, due to the presence of magicians in the Uryu family bloodline, his participation in the Holy Grail War was purely accidental.

“I’ve found something great, some kind of ancient book in my family’s warehouse. It seems my ancestors researched how to summon demons. Since they say demons might exist, I guess I have no choice but to go and verify it, right?” Ryunosuke Uryu said happily.

"But what if the demon really appears? It would be too stupid of me to just chat with him without making any preparations. So, little friend, if the demon appears, could you... let him kill you?"

"Ugh ugh ugh!" Upon hearing Ryunosuke's words, the children, who were too terrified to move, began to struggle frantically.

"What would it feel like to be killed by a demon? That would be a very valuable experience... Ouch..." As Ryunosuke Amatsu was happily describing what the other person might be about to experience, Ryunosuke Amatsu suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"What is this...?" Ryunosuke Uryu subconsciously looked at the spot of his pain, the back of his right hand.

There, a special mark is appearing.

The mark that signifies the qualification to become a Master by being chosen by the Holy Grail.

The next moment, the magic circle drawn by Ryunosuke with human blood began to glow and emitted a sound like a thunderbolt.

As the light grew brighter...

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the floor, smashing the magic circle drawn in blood to pieces.

The summoning ritual that was about to begin was also forced to stop.

"Hmm?" I was surprised by the magic circle's glow, and then surprised again by its destruction.

What snapped Ryunosuke Amusei out of his shock was an even more intense pain than before.

Suddenly, Ryunosuke Uryu felt a figure flash by. Looking at the person, he saw that it was a boy much younger than himself, and the boy was holding... half an arm.

That's... my own arm?

And the beautiful, dazzling, and moving liquid that flowed out... was... his own blood?

The next moment, Ryunosuke fainted.

After glancing at the unconscious Ryunosuke Amuse, Chen Luo used his stripping ability to remove the Command Seals from the back of the other's hand and then placed them on the back of his own hand.

The entire set of movements was performed smoothly and seamlessly.

As for Ryunosuke Uryu... Chen Luo sealed the other's pressure points to stop the bleeding, and then left him alone for the time being.
