["Haha, I don't want you to disturb the situation now. So you can't go any further."]

【"...?"】

[Not understanding what Rita meant, Bronya frowned slightly. 】

[However, Bronya's hesitation only lasted a moment, because there was no need to listen to the Herrscher's nonsense on the battlefield. 】

[Bronya holds the cannon tightly. 】

......

"Why are there so many Rita's?"

Xi'er and Bronya looked at this scene on the screen and spoke at the same time.

Rita was clearly on the balcony, but why she appeared in front of Bronya again was completely unreasonable.

"Is it a clone ability?"

Bronya said doubtfully.

"probably?"

Xier is not sure.

In the end, the two of them turned their attention to the picture again, hoping to get the answer.

......

"Jiangcheng!"

Raiden Mei called the name of Jiangcheng who had just left the classroom.

[But——Jiang Cheng did not turn back.Leiden Meiyi dragged his heavy steps and started to walk forward. 】

["Jiangcheng...!"]

[Jiang Cheng’s last words kept spinning in his mind. 】

【--no problem. ——I will save you. 】

[What a trustworthy and reassuring sentence.As long as Jiang Cheng said this, he could drive away the loneliness and uneasiness that originally occupied Leiden Meiyi's heart. 】

[However, Raiden Meiyi also had another uneasy emotion in her heart. 】

[Because Jiang Cheng who just said these words gave people the same feeling as when he extended a helping hand to Raiden Meiyi two months ago, and when he walked into the Seer Barrier last month. 】

【Jiang Cheng will definitely save everyone.However, if he had to sacrifice himself to achieve his goal, then Jiang Cheng would not hesitate to take action. 】

【Because the man who saved Raiden Mei---was this kind of man. 】

【"Ugh...!"】

[Losing his balance, Raiden Meiyi fell between the tables and chairs and fell to the ground. 】

["Gu——wu...!"]

[I want to stand up again, but my legs are unable to move. 】

【No, no.There is no time for me to continue squatting here. 】

[We must get to Jiang Cheng as soon as possible. 】

["Jiangcheng...Jiangcheng...Jiangcheng...!"]

[Then - at the moment of shouting loudly, Raiden Meiyi felt dizzy. 】

["What...what...?"]

[Having said that—but Raiden Mei remembers this feeling. 】

[Last month, when Xier planned to spit out light and attack Jiangcheng...]

[If this continues, Jiang Cheng will die!Just when this thought came to mind, his head began to feel dizzy - and then Honkai energy flowed back and filled Raiden Mei's body. 】

【"……This is……!"】

[Rainden Meiyi lowered her head to inspect her outfit and said this - Yes, although it is not a complete body, it is the same as that time. Raiden Meiyi's body has armor made of Honkai energy! 】

[The body has also become quite light, completely different from the situation a second ago.In this case--】

[Thunder Meiyi jumped up with all her strength, standing straight on the spot with her feet. 】

["Very good...that's it!"]

[She clenched her fists and left the classroom. 】

["Jiangcheng! Where are you? Jiangcheng!"]

[Even if I call loudly, I still don’t get any response. 】

[In this case, we can only look around.Raiden Mei started running in the corridor. 】

【But, at this moment...】

[Thunder Meiyi holds her breath and hurriedly jumps away from where she was. 】

[The reason is simple.Because something that looked like a bullet was aimed at Raiden Mei from the front of the corridor, drawing a black trajectory and shooting towards Raiden Mei. 】

["What...! Who is it!"]

[Thunder and Lightning Meiyi yells.Then, the sound of slow footsteps came from the shadows of the corridor ahead. 】

[Finally, the owner of that voice finally appeared. 】

【"……Who are you--"】

["Hehehe. Hello, Raiden Mei. Can you play with me?"]

[The girl wearing a dress and holding a scythe——Rita said this while raising a smile. 】

["Rita...what have you done! What is this barrier...!"]

[On the roof, Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his hands and asked Rita this question. 】

[Rita seemed to find Jiang Cheng's reaction quite interesting, and the smile on her face deepened. 】

["Haha, isn't it great? This is the Honkai Territory. As long as you step on the road to Hades, you will be devoured by the God of Trickery."]

["The God of Trickery...?"]

[Jiang Cheng said this in surprise.Rita walked over slowly while smiling. 】

[Then, he lifted his hair in an elegant manner, revealing his left eye which was usually hidden in his bangs. 】

【"Varied……"】

[After seeing that eye, Jiang Cheng frowned. 】

[Obviously strange.Inorganic gold, numbers and hands. 】

[That's right - Rita's left eye itself is a clock. 】

[And what’s even more strange is that the hands of that clock rotate in the counterclockwise direction. 】

【"This is--"】

[Looking at Jiang Cheng’s confused look, Rita chuckled. 】

["Haha, this is my new power! Yesterday, after being killed, my soul encountered a soul named Kuang San. She seemed to be in another parallel world, and her experience was very similar to mine. ”]

["This is what she gave me, about the power of "time""]

[While speaking, Rita turned around. 】

["Although I don't know the specific function of this power, it matches my God of Trickery very well."]

["When my God of Trickery is devouring others, this power is also being replenished!"]

【"Varied……!"】

[Hearing Rita’s words, Jiang Cheng felt a chill on his back. 】

[Seeing Jiang Cheng's expression, for some reason, Rita had a somewhat lonely look on her face. 】

[However, that expression was immediately replaced by a terrifying smile, and Rita lifted Jiang Cheng's chin with her fingertips. 】

["This is the relationship between the Herrscher and humans. Everyone is my pitiful and lovely food. That's all."]

[As if to tease Jiang Cheng, he frowned slightly and continued:]

["Ah--but, but, Jiang Cheng. Only you are special, only you are special."]

【"……me?"】

["Yes, yes. You are the best. In order to become one with you, that's why I came to this place."]

【"What did you say……?"】

[Jiang Cheng frowned. 】

["You said "integrated into one"... what does this mean?"]

["That's what it means literally. I won't kill you. Because if you do, it won't make any sense - I will eat you directly."]

[What does Rita mean by "eat" literally?Or does it have some other meaning?Jiang Cheng couldn't judge.However, Jiang Cheng felt a chill spread in his stomach. 】

[However, we cannot be timid at this time.Clenching his fists, he said:]

["If your goal is me, just come after me! Why do you do this-"]

[Jiang Cheng shouted loudly.Then, Rita continued happily:]

["Haha, because I have to replenish "power" first - and..."]

[Rita suddenly glared at Jiang Cheng with a sharp gaze. 】

["——Before I eat you, I want to ask you to take back what you said this morning."]

["This morning...?"]

["That's right.——It's such a ridiculous statement as "You will save me"."]

[Seeing Rita's unusually cold gaze, Jiang Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously. 】

["——Hey, Jiang Cheng. It’s scary for me to do such a thing for the above reasons, right? You must hate me for involving innocent people, right? You should have understood that I am not a person worth saving. Are you ready?"]

[After making an exaggerated gesture like an actress, Rita continued:]

["So, please take back your words. Please promise not to say these words again. If you obey, I can lift this barrier, because my original purpose is only for Jiang Cheng."]

【"Varied……"】

[Open your eyes wide.This condition is too simple.It was so simple that Jiang Cheng couldn't help but wonder if Rita was plotting against him. 】

["...Rita is serious."]

[As if aware of Jiang Cheng's doubts, Kiana said this through the headset. 】

["...There is no sign of lying from her mental state. Sir, if you agree to this condition, Rita will really lift the barrier."]

[While Kiana spoke, Rita bent over and showed a sinister smile. 】

["Hehehe...hehe. Okay, we have to stop it as soon as possible, right? If we don't take action quickly, it may be too late!"]

[Jiang Cheng and Rita’s eyes intersect. 】

[Jiang Cheng just needs to withdraw the preface.A condition that can be achieved easily. 】

[On the contrary, if you don't do this, the lives of many people staying in the barrier will be in danger. 】

[There is no choice.After making up his mind, he spoke:]

["...Remove the barrier."]

[Rita sighs as if relieved. 】

["In that case, please say it. Say something that will never mention saving me again."]

[After Jiang Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he continued:]

["That thing...I can't do it."]

【"ah--?"】

[The moment Jiang Cheng spoke, Rita showed a stunned expression.It looks very funny.At least Jiang Cheng had never seen Rita show such an expression before. 】

["...Oh, oh, oh, oh?"]
