The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"...So, in order to ensure that Ivora cannot interfere." Ming Fuluo gradually understood, "You found Anser? Asked him to help you?"

"Everyone knows that Lord Anser and my sister are in deep conflict now. After all, he stands firmly on the side of the Mother Queen."

Su Silun smiled and said, "Of course he is happy to do a favor. After all, it is not difficult for him."

In fact, Su Silun didn't think of contacting Anser at first, but she suddenly remembered what Anser said at the Alchemy Association.

At that time, Anser easily saw that she was the one behind the suspension of the floater cannon production, and asked her to restart the mass production of the floater cannon, saying this:

[I can guarantee that I will not disrupt any of your subsequent plans and actions. If necessary, I can also provide you with help - of course, for a fee]

From then on, a seed was planted in Susilen's heart, and this seed grew completely as Anser and Ivora became completely opposed after the war game.

She was sure that there was some conflict between Anser and Ivora that she was not aware of, and since Anser had said so... Susilun naturally would not hesitate to seek help.

"On the one hand, Lord Anser would block my sister's sight by saying that he would not allow her to look at his favorite concubine like a pet. Of course, my sister would not be suspicious, because Lord Anser's love for Miss Lance is well known, isn't it?"

The battle that took place in the Ether Court, which announced the power and potential of Hitana, not only announced to the world that a strong man was rising, but also sent a signal to many extraordinary people: the young Hydra really liked his only contracted leader so far.

"With Lord Anser's restrictions, she will not monitor this hunting ground for the time being. She is not one to eavesdrop or spy. But as time goes by, if the damage caused by the Mind Caller becomes more serious, my unscrupulous sister will naturally have other ways to deal with this problem... For example, she will use powerful monsters to intercept and kill the Mind Caller's lower species. At this time——"

"Do you need... me to stop it?" Ming Furo answered in a low voice, and finally understood why she was brought here.

She is indeed a "helper", but not Sitana's helper, but Susilen's helper.

She wanted to help Susilun and let the Mind Caller wreak havoc in this hunting ground, openly destroying the ecological environment here under Ivora's nose.

This is the ultimate purpose of Anser bringing this event to Xitana, but...

But Ming Fuluo always felt that something was wrong, but the subtle information gap made it impossible for her to analyze it.

It was as if Ivora thought that Anser brought Xitana to help her deal with the Mingcaller, and Ming Furo was just an assistant.

However, Susilun thought that Anser brought Mingfuluo to help her take revenge on Ivora, and Xitana was just an excuse for him to intervene.

The two princesses followed their own train of thought and did not think there was anything wrong. The snake leisurely manipulated the silk thread, watching the two sisters walk faithfully on the path he arranged.

"I will do this, too. I will stop the monsters that are too powerful, but there will always be some that slip through the net, and you will have to deal with them then. Please, Miss Lance. Since she is here to hunt, she will definitely accept any prey, right?"

Su Silun finally finished speaking and sighed: "This is a long job, be prepared."

"...long?"

"The Queen Mother's time is precious. She doesn't have the patience to wait for results. The speed of time in this hunting ground has been adjusted. Half a day outside is equivalent to about... a week here."

Su Silun took out her pocket watch and wiped it gently: "Because of this, we have more room to operate. My sister won't pay attention here all the time. If we are not careful, a lot of time will pass."

No wonder Ivora said that Xitana played for more than one afternoon...but isn't a week a bit too long?

Ming Furo frowned slightly. According to her understanding of Anther, Anther would never let Xitana spend a week or even longer here unless Xitana volunteered to stay here.

Wait…will.

Ming Fuluo suddenly realized something.

Neither Ivora nor Susilen considered one thing, that is... whether Xitana would stay here for a long time.

Because the former believed that Shitana was brought by Anther to deal with the Abyss, and the latter believed that Shitana was an indispensable reason, so they both believed that Anther would definitely let Shitana stay here, regardless of her personal wishes.

But Ming Fuluo reacted - Ansel... would not do that.

If Xitana was no longer interested in hunting, he would definitely let Xitana leave instead of forcing Xitana to stay here and wait until the incident was over.

As to why Ming Fuluo is so sure.

because……

Because three years ago, Ansel was the same, respecting and caring about his past self.

The thoughts that flashed through her mind made Ming Fuluo subconsciously clench her fists. She forced herself to shake off these thoughts and continue thinking.

Since Xitana may leave at any time, Susilun's plan will fail, and she obviously doesn't know this, which means... Ansher's real purpose is at a deeper level, and the cooperation with Susilun is just another appearance.

Among all the puppets that were manipulated at will, the weakest and most powerless Miss Puppet raised her head and saw the silk strings hanging above everyone's heads.

And that smiling face...hidden in the darkness.

What exactly did Anser want to do? What was he trying to gain from this? Theoretically, the only thing he could get seemed to be Susilun's favor, or the benefits that Susilun had exchanged. But was it just this thing, just Susilun... worth his deliberate calculation?

"Oh yes, I have some news for you, Ms. Zeger."

Su Silun patted Ming Fuluo's shoulder playfully and said, "My revenge will not end here, but our cooperation will stop."

Ming Fuluo instantly grabbed Su Silun's wrist. She turned her head and stared into Su Silun's eyes: "What did you say?"

"You seem a little out of control, Ms. Zeger."

Su Silun did not care about the other party's impoliteness, but raised her eyebrows: "You know, it is very dangerous to show your emotions and expose your weaknesses like this - although I have known that this is your weakness for a long time."

"……Why."

Ming Fuluo's breathing was a little rapid: "Why do you want to stop? My grandfather's death, in the end -"

"Don't blame me. I don't want to lose such a strong partner like you." Su Silun said helplessly, "This is Lord Anser's request."

The petite female scholar was stunned.

The anger that had just risen on her indifferent face froze there.

"His exact words were 'I don't care what you want to do, but if it means you break a tool that I'm good with, I'm not going to be happy about it'."

The little princess shook her head: "He thinks that if you cooperate with me, you will, um... be bad, so he asked me to unilaterally terminate the cooperation with you, and-"

"Moreover, according to his request, once you fulfill your promise, I will give you a piece of information for free that can greatly advance your progress in finding the real murderer."

"His... request?" Ming Fuluo murmured, "He asked you to tell me this?"

"Yes, this is the exchange between us."

Su Silun tilted her head and said, "After all, Lord Anser doesn't like my sister either. It was just a matter of convenience for him to do this, so he was generous enough not to ask for too much. He just made these requests."

She stared at Ming Fuluo for a while, then couldn't help but chuckle:

"Although he calls you a tool, I think Lord Anser still cares about you, Miss Zeger."

"Well, it's time for me to go do my observation duties. I hope you can also fulfill your duties, Ms. Zeger."

Su Silun's figure turned into illusion and disappeared, leaving Ming Fuluo standing there alone.

Is this... Anser's purpose?

He is helping me push forward the investigation into my grandfather's death. He doesn't want me to continue to take risks with Su Silun?

No, that's not right. He said he wouldn't care about me, and that he would just watch me if anything happened. He did this to... to... to make me beg him? Yes, in this way, I would have no choice but to beg him, and be forced to fall deeper, and be unable to resist him. This was his purpose. He must have thought so, for sure.

Because Anser now is no longer his friend.

"He... must have thought so."

The petite woman sitting on the floating gun curled up slightly.

But if it was before.

If it were in the past, Anser...it seemed like he only wanted to help himself.

*

Full of rage, Hitana ran wildly in the jungle, chasing the disgusting and deformed monster.

Strangely, the information transmitted by the Head of Wind was getting less and less, which meant that the traces left by the monster during its escape were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This abnormality made Hitana alert, and at the same time she was completely puzzled by the feeling she just had.

Death... At that moment just now, she felt the threat of death very clearly.

It has been a while since Xitana tasted this feeling. The last time she felt death was when she was determined to die facing the Red Ice Python. But no matter when, this feeling is so... unforgettable.

Compared to the powerful fourth-level monster, why did the monster that seemed to have no fighting power and turned around and ran away when it saw her give her a premonition of death?

Just as Hitana was thinking this, the whistling sound coming from behind made her subconsciously slow down her pace.

"Ming Fuluo?" The girl turned her head in confusion, "Why are you so slow?"

"…I was just analyzing the traces left by that thing."

Ming Fuluo, who was sitting on the high-speed floating gun, whispered: "Xitana, I have bad news to tell you."

"Ok?"

"We could be in big trouble."

Xitana was stunned for a moment and slowed down her pace: "What does this mean?"

"That thing just now...your prey, the deformed prey."

The petite female scholar looked at Xitana with an extremely serious look in her eyes: "It has been parasitized by a dangerous monster that shouldn't be here. Its changes, its behavior... all point to one thing. The one who is controlling the corpse now is one of the four Old Gods—"

"That is..." Ming Fuluo said in a heavy voice under Xitana's dull eyes, "That is, the Abyss Caller."

The girl's steps slowly stopped, and finally she stood there in a daze.

She looked at Ming Fuluo for a long while, then raised two fingers in doubt: "What's this?"

"…My mind is clear, Sitana, and I am not talking nonsense."

A bottle of light blue water appeared in Ming Fuluo's hand. "This is a sample I got from a nearby river. The water source here has become like this. You are a hunter, so you should know how abnormal this water is."

Xitana stared at the water that could never appear in the river, and her throat moved.

"That is to say." She shifted her uncomfortable gaze to Ming Fuluo, "That really is..."

"It's the Abyss Caller, but I'm the next——" "Great!"

Miss Wolf jumped up on the spot, her snow-white cheeks flushed with excitement: "That's the Ming Caller. I'm hunting the Ming Caller? Can I hunt this kind of prey?"

"..." Ming Fuluo was silent for two seconds. "Although I don't know why you are more excited than afraid, this Abyss Caller is not a true God species. It is a lower-level species."

Shitana, who was cheering with her arms raised high, tilted her head and said, "What do you mean by lower-ranking species?"

"I don't know the reason for this distinction." Ming Fuluo tapped her glasses. "The knowledge about the God species is extremely precious and expensive. I don't have enough detailed information in my database. But since it is a lower-level species, it can be concluded that it cannot have the qualifications to become a God, and its ability is also much weaker."

Hearing this, Xitana instantly became very disappointed: "It turns out that he is not that powerful..."

"...That's only relative to the powerful Ming Caller."

At this point, Ming Fuluo's indifferent expression fluctuated slightly. She was silent for a moment, and then continued: "So, I suggest you give up hunting it."

Without waiting for Xitana to answer, she continued, "This hunt is a game for you, a game that Anser prepared for you, and this lower-ranked Abyss Caller is an accident in the game. It is neither reasonable nor necessary for you to deal with it."

"You can go and look for other prey."

Su Silun was observing the movements of the Ming Caller. Ming Furo naturally could not allow Xitana to hunt the Ming Caller. Such a short time was definitely not enough for the lower-level Ming Caller to grow. Judging from the fact that it turned around and ran away after Xitana released her murderous intent, it was indeed impossible for it to be Xitana's opponent.

Even if this explanation doesn't work, Ming Fuluo will change it up and make Xitana give up hunting down the larvae of the lower-level Abyss Caller. Anyway, there are sufficient reasons, so there is no need to worry -

"What are you talking about, Ming Fuluo."

Xitana looked puzzled and said, "What do you mean this is an accident? How could this be an accident?"

“…Of course this is—”

"You said it's impossible for a Ming Caller to appear in a place like this, but it did. What does this mean?"

The girl pumped her fist vigorously and cheered happily, "This shows that it is a surprise that Anser prepared for me! Hunting the Mind Caller... Even though it is just a low-level species, it is still a Mind Caller after all. I have never hunted such a powerful thing!"

She put her hands on her hips and said triumphantly, "Anser arranged this, I don't want to let him down, I must bring the body of that thing to Anser!"

"..."

Ming Fuluo looked a little dazed.

At this moment, during the conversation with Su Silun, the strangeness and doubts in her heart were finally answered.

Ansher would definitely not force Xitana to do anything, her stay or departure is entirely up to her, but Susilun didn't know this, so Ming Furo believed that Ansher must have a deeper purpose.

And Xitana's performance made Ming Furo realize that the moment Xitana saw the Abyss Caller, no matter whether it was early or late, Xitana would definitely regard it as a "gift" prepared for her by Ansir, and thus launch an endless hunt.

That would go against Susilun's deal.

Did Anser do this to make Suslen's deal fail? No, of course not.

Because at this stage, there is someone who can influence the direction of the situation.

That's herself.

As long as she tells Shitana that Anser brought you here to prevent the death of the Dark Caller, then Shitana will definitely give up chasing the Dark Caller.
