Their commission was suspicious.

However, Chen Luo's main target was not these people. At most, Chen Luo would let the orange juice lie dormant in their bodies. If they didn't die, Chen Luo wouldn't actively turn them into puppets.

What Chen Luo actually wanted to do was to turn those high-ranking members of the revolutionary army who did nothing and had no intention of doing anything into puppets, so that they would honestly atone for the mistakes they had made.

Chen Luo was certain that even if he dragged away and temporarily executed the minister who was the root of the empire's corruption, causing the revolutionary army to suddenly lose its goal, these high-ranking members of the revolutionary army, who had already seen the benefits materialize and were unwilling to give up their power, would definitely cause some trouble.

Chen Luo has gone to great lengths for this empire.

It is suggested that after the young emperor and others come to power, they should have each of the empire's strongest figures send him a wish that is simple, easy to fulfill, and highly rewarding.

Speaking of the young emperor, after realizing that it made no difference whether he was in the palace or not, he went straight to the online community for further study.

Chen Luo was quite satisfied with the young emperor's humility and eagerness to learn. However, after Chen Luo learned that the person the young emperor had consulted was Morgan, Chen Luo immediately banned Morgan from speaking on the group's online platform.

Honestly, Morgan, don't you have any idea how incapable you are of ruling a country?

With your skill level, you dare to teach others?

"Ding-a-ling." The wind chimes rang out.

Chen Luo looked in the direction of the sound and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Yvette, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!" Upon seeing that it was Yvette, Chen Luo's face lit up with excitement, and he quickly went to greet her.

"Ha, others have Stockholm syndrome, but you're doing the opposite? You're really quite perverted." Yvette sneered when she saw Chen Luo hugging her excitedly, almost speechless, upon seeing her at the bar.

"Great! I was thinking about how to make you court death, but you've already done it yourself. Quick, quick, are you going to kneel on a durian or a keyboard?" Chen Luo was even happier after hearing Yvette's words. He quickly let go of Yvette and took out a gold keyboard.

Chen Luo was getting incredibly bored after not seeing Yvette kneeling on the keyboard, a regular feature of the bar, for so long.

"..."

For a fleeting moment, Yvette really wanted to shut Chen Luo up completely.

Any kind of blockage will do.

Chapter 917 Yvette: If we hadn't become enemies, what would you have done...?

"Alright, alright, Yvette, don't be angry. I was just joking. It's been so long since I've seen you, I really feel empty inside. Without an angelic little brother by my side, I can't show my glorious image at all," Chen Luo said, patting Yvette on the shoulder.

What Chen Luo said this time was 90% true; without Yvette, Chen Luo felt the bar was utterly boring.

While it feels great to have everyone go along with you, Chen Luo finds it even better to have someone occasionally joke with him.

Yukari Yakumo used to do this all the time, but now she's toned it down a bit. Chen Luo was happy, but also sad.

Chen Luo is currently in a state of superposition between sadness and happiness.

Yvette filled that void perfectly.

What Yukari Yakumo wouldn't dare to do, Yvette dared to do. And what Yukari did that led to her downfall, Yvette dared to do even more ruthlessly.

Because Yvette was certain that she didn't need to ask Chen Luo for anything.

Without the torment of fanaticism, Yvette, if given the choice, could easily enjoy life by drinking black tea every day.

In short, for Yvette, life is about touching, frantically touching, touching the fish to death.

On the contrary, Yukari Yakumo is always thinking about running around and visiting other worlds, which is why she often has to ask Chen Luo for help.

Although Yukari Yakumo has a thick skin and can still manage to stir up trouble under these circumstances, she doesn't dare to go too far.

Yvette is different. When Yukari Yakumo made a mistake, Yukari was unsure of what punishment she would receive, but Yvette knew that she would either have to kneel on a keyboard or kneel on a keyboard.

Aside from kneeling on a keyboard, Chen Luo can't eat anything else.

“I’m very relieved that you’re back in the bar safe and sound. Tell me, what do you want? As long as it’s not too unreasonable, I can give it to you,” Chen Luo asked Yvette.

Chen Luo actually quite liked Yvette because the two had been through thick and thin together, so he was ruthless when it came to taking action.

"Since you really want to welcome me back, then you can make me kneel on the keyboard, or even on durians, I don't mind." Yvette sat on the side of the bar, legs crossed, looking at Chen Luo with a cold smile.

As mentioned earlier, Chen Luo never hesitated to make Yvette kneel on a keyboard; similarly, he never hesitated to retaliate when Yvette tried to create trouble for Chen Luo.

Although Yvette can't be described as inherently rebellious, she's definitely destined to oppose Chen Luo.

“Actually, it’s not impossible…” Chen Luo pondered, stroking his chin.

"Oh, really? Then I'll have to reassess my impression of you."

“It costs more,” Chen Luo said, holding up one finger.

And you haven't even issued a single commission, so what are you talking about?

Isn't it just kneeling on a durian? No, isn't it just kneeling on a keyboard?

As a dignified traveler, I can kneel on a keyboard and still manage to make you kneel in a spectacular fashion.

But you can't refuse to give me the raw stones.

I, the Traveler, am always the one who gets something for free from others. How could anyone else get something for free from me, the Traveler?

Even if I'm just a tool, you still have to give me some Primogems.

"Oh."

"Although your reckless impulses today are no different from before, and you're still incredibly reckless, since you've returned unharmed and unchanged, I'll let this matter of you kneeling on the keyboard go. If you really want to kneel on the keyboard from the bottom of your heart, then keep it up," Chen Luo warned.

"Alright, let's not talk about kneeling on the keyboard for now. Tell me what you've been doing and what happened during your stay at the church," Chen Luo asked Yvette.

To be fair, Yvette truly is an angel in appearance, beautiful on the outside but not on the inside.

The claim that the substance is rotten inside has not yet been confirmed, so I won't discuss it further.

This is why Yvette occupies such a unique position among Chen Luo's dolls and the guests at the Guest Bar.

Chen Luo prefers happy endings. Although he can't be absolutely fair to every friend, he's always happy to see a few friends again after a long time apart.

Even if the other party is Yvette.

Moreover, Chen Luo did have a lot to discuss with Yvette... some urgent matters.

“The church isn’t fun at all. These past few days back have been nothing but cultivation. The church kept me locked up like a prisoner for days, only allowing me freedom after they found nothing amiss. And it wasn’t until another day later that I dared to sneak back to the bar,” Yvette said.

Yvette had a remarkably good sense of her situation before she returned to the church.

The return of a war angel after being missing for more than a month is a matter that deserves serious attention.

War Angels hold a special significance among angelic beings and even the entire church. They are the face of the church, and although they are not very discreet, they enjoy almost all the privileges afforded by the church.

The word "war" itself easily evokes negative associations, but the Angel of War is indeed a very powerful divine office.

Yvette is an angelic talent, an S-class talent, the chief judge of the Inquisition, and the number one seed in the God-Making Project. No matter how severe the Church's scrutiny of Yvette is, it is still acceptable.

"Oh, how long can you stay in the bar today?" Chen Luo asked.

“Although I really want to say that I can only stay for a few minutes and I have to go back right away, you wouldn’t believe me. So the truth is, as long as I don’t stay at the bar tonight, there won’t be any problem,” Yvette replied.

"What do you mean by 'even you can't believe me'? I always feel like you have some deep misunderstanding about me. And you don't even hide this thought from yourself." Chen Luo stroked his chin, pondering.

"Never mind, since we have plenty of time to chat and don't have to worry about being exposed, why don't you start kneeling on the keyboard right now?" Chen Luo suggested.

"..."

"Ahem, do any of the people in Yvette's church have any doubts or suspicions about your resurrection?"

“Nonsense, why do you think I haven’t been able to go back to the bar for so long? Isn’t it because I’m under investigation? It’s normal to be suspected, but thankfully they haven’t gone too far, so I’ve tolerated it. They’ve definitely figured out my bottom line. If they’re still this disrespectful to me today, I can’t guarantee I won’t tear down the Vatican,” Yvette said.

The reasons Yvette might have done this include not only her own dislike of being monitored, but also reasons that align with her character.

At least before being resurrected by Chen Luo, Yvette was truly capable of doing these things.

"How well concealed is the ability to transform into a puppet?" Chen Luo finally asked the question he most wanted to ask.

SS-level talent is an extremely high level. According to the Heavenly Emperor, before Chen Luo appeared, no SSS-level talent had ever been born in this world; the highest level those talent holders reached was only SS-level. Therefore, the power of this SS-level talent is beyond doubt.

The problem is that, in addition to gifted individuals, there are various cultivators in this world, and in the later stages of the game, cultivators are often stronger than gifted individuals.

So here's the question: are the church members able to detect that Chen Luo has become a puppet?

If this situation were discovered in another world, it wouldn't be a big deal. But Chen Luo in the main world certainly didn't want such a terrible thing to happen.

For this reason, Chen Luo instructed Yvette to avoid using the group network and any abilities that could reveal her as a puppet during her few days back at the church, unless absolutely necessary.

"You're very lucky. Your puppet-like ability is extremely well-concealed, and your reasons are also quite good. Even now, after a long period of investigation, they still think I'm not acting strangely. Are you happy now?"

"The presiding judge of the Inquisition, the number one seed in the God-Making Project, the angelic talent, the former face of the church, the war angel Yvette has become your puppet, obeying your every word. On the other hand, she enjoys extremely high treatment within the church. This sense of disparity must be very satisfying for you, right?" Yvette said calmly.

"I feel like you've become incredibly aggressive since you got back to the bar. Could it be... you're afraid of venting your frustrations later?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly, stroking his chin.

“…” Yvette fell silent.

Although Yvette wanted to refute Chen Luo's words, some of what Chen Luo said was indeed true.

What percentage? About 80%.

The difference lies in the word "fear".

Are you kidding me? Would I, Yvette, be afraid?

But Yvette really does find a sense of security in bars.

Although Yvette didn't say it, she was both excited and apprehensive about Chen Luo asking her to return to the church.

Yvette was filled with anticipation because she had always wanted to return to the church.

It wasn't because the church was safer, but because the church felt almost like home to Yvette.

Yvette was apprehensive because, like Chen Luo, she was also unsure just how well-hidden her dollification ability was.

Although the demon god who was eating potatoes over there said that Chen Luo's puppet-making ability was like having a cheat code, with such high concealment that even she couldn't tell whether the person standing in front of her was Chen Luo's puppet when she wasn't paying attention.

As for whether one can perceive entering a serious state?

Euthinus didn't say it, but given his personality, if he could have figured it out, he would have said it arrogantly long ago.

The moment Yvette became a doll, it meant that she and Chen Luo could never be separated for the rest of their lives. However, Chen Luo never drastically altered the doll's consciousness, so Yvette still had special feelings for the church.

Yvette spent the last few days back at the church in a state of anxiety. Although she appeared very calm on the surface and even had time to express her anger at the church's surveillance of her, she still had some worries in her heart.

After all surveillance was lifted yesterday, indicating that she had indeed been recognized by the church, Yvette finally relaxed.

But after completely relaxing, Yvette suddenly entered a state of anxiety and uncertainty.

Yvette suddenly found herself feeling somewhat listless when she finally relaxed and had time to reflect on whether she was truly content in the church environment.

Yvette didn't know why she felt this way, but the church neither gave her a sense of security nor a strong sense of belonging, nor did it give her any sense of tension or excitement.

Returning to church seems to have transformed from a reason to go home into a habit.

This is a terrible thing.

Yvette felt even more uncomfortable after she stepped into the bar.

Yvette found that the bar gave her a greater sense of security and comfort than the church.

Perhaps that's why there are so many people in bars every day.

The sense of security he provides is truly unparalleled.

This sense of security and feeling like coming home is not entirely due to the fact that people cannot hurt each other in a bar. The people here are probably more important than the bar building itself.

It doesn't refer to the customers coming and going in the bar, but to the owner of the bar.

Although Yvette was reluctant to admit it, Chen Luo, the culprit who killed her, did often give Yvette a very reliable feeling.

There's always this feeling that if you entrust something to him, he'll definitely be able to solve it.

Moreover, being with Chen Luo always makes me feel very relaxed.

Unless you see the Friendship Revolver in his hands.

“Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn’t chosen to make a move on you in the first place, and had instead accidentally wandered into the bar, what kind of relationship would we have?” Yvette asked Chen Luo, who was looking at her with concern, with a somewhat complicated tone.

Even now, Yvette can't figure out whether Chen Luo is worried about Yvette as an individual or about the puppet named Yvette that Chen Luo himself possesses.

If it were anyone else, Yvette would definitely be worried about the latter, but if it were Chen Luo, she really wasn't sure.

The moment she asked the question, Yvette regretted it.

"Well, your assumption is meaningless, but if you really want to hear it, I don't mind making an assumption for you. If you really were here as a guest, you should be over there playing cards with someone, not standing in front of me asking me what's wrong with you to ask such a question. So, are you alright?" Chen Luo answered honestly.

“...You really are annoying.” Yvette said after a moment of silence.

"Thank you for the compliment," Chen Luo replied.
