Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

·

The boy hiding in the shadows of the trees is undoubtedly our classmate Jiang Ran.

Thanks to the effect of the "Black Jade Ring: Resident in the Shadow", he would not be discovered by Emilia and Heloise even if he was within their field of vision.

[Note: "Shadow Dweller": When the wearer is in the shadows and remains quiet, they will not be discovered by those with "Equipper Level +1" or lower.]

Based on his calculations, Jiang Ran figured out the possible routes for the three-person team of Emilia, Heloise and Captain Pride to go to Yanji City, and then arrived at the intersection of these routes in advance to wait for them to appear.

To Jiang Ran's surprise, Captain Pride was not in the team. Fortunately, the key figure "Emilia" arrived as scheduled, so Jiang Ran's trip was not in vain.

In order to grasp the current status of Emilia and Heloise in advance, Jiang Ran sneaked into the shadow of the fat rabbit "which has now entered the stomachs of the two girls", controlled it to approach the two girls, and then used his identification ability and mind reading to obtain a lot of information.

Jiang Ran already knew that Heloise had advanced to the third level, and Emilia's advancement was not a big surprise.

What Jiang Ran really felt was Emilia's "abnormal condition".

·

Jiang Ran discovered through his identification ability that Emilia was suffering from an abnormal condition called "emotional reversal".

The level of this abnormal state is quite high, reaching level three, and the remaining duration is six days... This means that five days later, when the future death date arrives, Emilia will still be affected by the effect of this "emotion reversal".

[Note: Abnormal status levels range from one to five, with five being the highest]

Perhaps because the level of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye is not high enough, Jiang Ran is currently unable to identify the specific effect of the abnormal state. However, based on the name of this abnormal state and Emilia's inner thoughts that Jiang Ran read, this is probably a special curse that can transform "like" into "hate".

After analyzing this, Jiang Ran immediately understood why Emilia would kill him. He sighed in his heart that this "Stone Mask" would use any means to kill him.

However, Jiang Ran knew that now was not the time to confront the Stone Mask head-on. He still had to use invisible methods to resolve the enemy's offensive.

While Emilia and Heloise were still eating roasted rabbit, Jiang Ran left first and rushed to the next town they would pass through to buy high-level purification potion, and then set up an ambush.

In the evening, Jiang Ran waited for Emilia and the other two to arrive, and followed them all the way until they sat down in a restaurant to have dinner. He then sneaked into the shadow of the waiter and added a colorless and odorless purification agent to the water they drank. He watched with his own eyes as Emilia's abnormal condition disappeared.

In this way, the motive of two of the four girls who were going to kill Jiang Ran on September 9th was also eliminated.

As for whether Emilia and Heloise will continue to go to Yanji City, Jiang Ran will not interfere and let them act freely.

As the plan progressed to this point, Jiang Ran had almost understood how the "Stone Mask" made the girls want to kill, but he had no idea how the girls became so strong so quickly.

Was it Stone Mask's skill or ability that caused this phenomenon? Or was it some other method?

Jiang Ran warned himself not to be careless just because the initial operation went smoothly, as the real test might be yet to come.

·

Now, among the "Four Girls of September 9th", Jiang Ran only has Viviana and Wei'er to deal with. According to his plan, he should go to find Wei'er for an "accidental encounter" next.

However, Wei'er's difficulty is much higher than the previous two girls, because Jiang Ran deduced that the terrifyingly powerful "Endless Abyss·Mishasha" is probably still working with Wei'er.

9.65 - Unexpected Visitors

Jiang Ran was not unsure about how to deal with Wei'er's problem, but he was unsure about confronting "Endless Abyss·Mishasha" again.

Jiang Ran still vividly remembered how badly he was beaten the last time he fought with this old monster, and this painful memory made him lack the confidence to handle Wei'er's problem under Mishasha's nose.

Although Jiang Ran hadn't been discovered by anyone while using Shadow Artist so far, and according to the skill description, he wouldn't be discovered while in stealth mode, after spending so much time in the Prison Star World, Jiang Ran had discovered a major problem with the description:

·

Just because something isn't expressed doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

·

What does the problem Jiang Ran discovered mean?

Take the "damage value" that appears in most skill descriptions as an example. Skill descriptions that state that they will cause "1000 damage" or "2000 damage" have never actually reached the corresponding values ​​in combat. The reason for this is not that the descriptions are inaccurate, but that the descriptions do not explain concepts such as "armor" and "magic resistance".

Before all attacks are calculated as true damage to the target, the damage reduction of defensive parameters such as armor and magic resistance must be deducted first. However, such an important matter is not marked in the skill description.

Jiang Ran didn't know whether the reason for this result was that the level of his super-dimensional divine eye was not high enough or there was another hidden reason. Then, by the same token, even if the skill "Shadow Master" stated that he would not be discovered in stealth mode, it did not mean that he would "absolutely" not be discovered.

Because, maybe there are some other detection and perception type skills that can find Jiang Ran.

Therefore, unless the skill description clearly states that "you will not be discovered under any circumstances", Jiang Ran still needs to be careful to prevent any accidents.

·

Back to the point, with Endless Abyss Mishasha following him, Jiang Ran might even be in great risk if he approached Wei'er, but he had no choice, because Viviana, who was probably in Yanji City at the moment, would also be difficult to deal with. And if he skipped Wei'er and went directly to find Viviana, Jiang Ran's originally planned timeline would become a mess.

Another factor that cannot be ignored is Grandma Navinasen, the Fortune Telling Rabbit Spirit. If possible, Jiang Ran still wants to ask Grandma Navinasen to tell him about the Dark Rabbit Queen and the Dark Rabbit Clan. This will save him a lot of time and energy in his intelligence gathering work.

(Anyway, we still have to find Wei'er and the others first, and then find a chance to test them.)

·

Jiang Ran told himself that just pondering would not produce any results, and the only right way was to take action.

Now, it was late, and Emilia and Heloise had gone to sleep in the hotel where they were staying, so Jiang Ran also found a hotel to stay in, ready to have a good sleep and replenish his magic power.

Before going to bed, Jiang Ran stood by the window of the room and looked at the streets of the town. He was not relaxing and enjoying the scenery, but "engraving" the surrounding conditions into his mind before going to bed, so that if any emergency occurred in the middle of the night, he would not make wrong decisions in an unfamiliar environment.

After watching for a few minutes, Jiang Ran yawned and prepared to close the window and go to sleep, but at this moment, two small figures appeared at the far end of the street and caused a huge shock in Jiang Ran's heart. He lost all sleepiness in an instant and even wanted to enter a state of preparation for battle...!

(Why are they here too?!)

·

The two figures that came into Jiang Ran's sight were a petite young girl and a little girl about six or seven years old.

This pair, who seemed harmless to most people, looked extremely terrifying in Jiang Ran's eyes.

·

It was Endless Abyss Mishasha and Wei'er who came. They actually came to the small town where Jiang Ran was.

·

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Ran's first reaction was to close the window and run away before being discovered by Mishasha.

He felt that if Misasa, the "Asura Field Fun Person", knew that he, Emilia and Heloise were also in this town, she would never let Jiang Ran go.

However, Jiang Ran did not do so. It was not because the blessing of the God of Courage, "Fearless Heart", gave him such courage, but because he thought that leaving the town in the dead of night would attract more attention, especially because he would be discovered by the Endless Abyss Mishasha.

The first thing Jiang Ran had to do now was to observe whether Mishasha and the others were coming for him. If so, it would not be too late to find a way to escape.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran soon discovered that Mishasha and the others just happened to come to this small town to spend the night, and their every move did not show any signs of "looking for someone".

In that case, Jiang Ran felt that his best way to deal with it was to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, sleep calmly in this hotel for a night, and restore his magic power first.

Another thing that Jiang Ran was concerned about was that the fortune-telling rabbit spirit, Grandma Navinaison, didn't seem to be traveling with Wei'er and the others. Did they temporarily separate? Or did something happen?

Jiang Ran, who can only lurk in the dark, has no way to find out the news. He can only wait for an opportunity later.

(Stupid Loli, tonight's sentry duty is up to you, so make sure you stay alert.)

·

·

After a night, Jiang Ran woke up on time with the help of the silly loli alarm clock.

Being able to spend the night safely was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Ran, but it was also reasonable - if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who could have expected that this bizarre combination of them (referring to Jiang Ran, Endless Abyss Mishasha, Wei'er, Emilia, and Heloise) would appear in a small town at the same time by such a coincidence?

Jiang Ran felt that he was actually quite lucky. After all, he was the only one among the five people who knew about this situation. If he had been unlucky enough to run into Endless Abyss·Mishasha on the street last night, then he...even if he had turned on "computing power enhancement·overclocking", he could not imagine what his fate would be now.

Now, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Jiang Ran began to think about how to solve the current dilemma.

The first thing he couldn't do was leave the hotel. Once he left the room, every corner Jiang Ran encountered could be a "fatal surprise";

Secondly, he had to find a way to prevent Mishasha and the others from meeting Emilia and the others;

It’s not that Jiang Ran is worrying too much, but only God knows what kind of “chemical reaction” will be triggered when these two pairs of people meet.

In the worst case scenario, Emilia, whom Jiang Ran had finally "dealt with" yesterday, might become one of the girls who tried to assassinate him again.

However, there is one piece of information that Jiang Ran currently knows that is beneficial to him. He clearly remembers that Emilia and Heloise are currently on their way to Yanji City, and they are rushing to do so in a hurry. Therefore, the two girls should set off early this morning and leave the town.

The rest depends on the itinerary of Endless Abyss Mishasha and Wei'er. As long as these two can stay in the town for one... no, half a morning, the crisis of the two teams meeting can be resolved.

However, just as Jiang Ran was looking forward to it, he saw Mishasha and Wei'er also got up early. Under the morning sun, they walked step by step towards the carriage station in the small town.

On the other side, Emilia and Heloise, who had stayed in the hotel next to the carriage station last night, also went out. They were going to take the earliest carriage to leave the town!

God really closed a window for Jiang Ran and locked the fatal door at the same time.

9.66 - Intermission

Miscalculated.

Jiang Ran had to admit that as more and more factors were affecting him, the accuracy of his reasoning and predictions was declining.

I must improve the level of the skill "Calculation Power Enhancement" as soon as possible... Jiang Ran thought so.

Jiang Ran's miscalculation this time was that he took it for granted that the four girls who came to kill him had gathered in Yanji City. However, in fact, it was very likely that "some of the girls had already met and formed a team along the way."

Now, Jiang Ran is facing the crisis that Wei'er and the others will meet up with Emilia and the others early. If he cannot "turn the tide" before the girls meet, he can only wait to deal with an even more difficult situation.

(Hashrate boost and overclocking!)

Although he hadn't entered combat mode yet, Jiang Ran was already more nervous than when he was fighting.

What exactly should be done to prevent the girls from meeting each other and let Jiang Ran escape unscathed?

After a brief but lengthy thought, Jiang Ran's gaze finally fell on a passing chicken on the street.

(That's you!)

After calculating the distance accurately, Jiang Ran jumped out of the window, and then used the "Shadow Escape Step" and instantly appeared behind the chicken.

Then, before Xiaoji could react, Jiang Ran had already used a combo of "Trickster·Word Spirit" and "Shadow Master", and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

·

·

Jiang Ran now has two advantages. One is that he is in the dark and has full access to information. The other is that he drank the imitation ancient snake blood last night. Now he has a total magic limit of 75,000 points, and most of his skills can be used at will.

Whether the next battle will be successful depends entirely on how well he uses these two advantages.

At this moment, a little chicken was walking on the street. It looked ordinary, but in fact it was Jiang Ran's "mount" for a secret attack.

Under Jiang Ran's control, the chick that was originally leisurely wandering around looking for a hen suddenly had a destination. Not long after, this inconspicuous chick arrived at the carriage station about fifty meters away. At this time, Mishasha and the others who were walking at a normal speed were still seven or eight hundred meters away and had no idea of ​​this "abnormal" chick.

Looking at Jiang Ran, after he controlled the chicken to enter the carriage inn, he immediately moved from the chicken's shadow to the coachman's shadow. The coachman, who was yawning, became energetic in an instant and shouted to urge the two girls who had just arrived outside the door to get on the carriage quickly.

"The bus is about to leave, hurry up! If you don't get on now, I'll leave!"

This voice seemed to be just an ordinary urging, but in fact the volume was precisely controlled.

Thanks to the coachman's precise control, the urging was only heard by the "two people outside the door" and did not reach the ears of the "other two people" farther away.

Then, after hearing this shout, the "two people outside the door", Emilia and Heloise, who had been walking slowly, immediately got on the carriage in two steps.

The coachman didn't even wait for the passengers to close the door before he cracked his whip and drove the carriage away from the coaching inn.

·

On the galloping carriage, Heloise excitedly stuck her head out of the window and looked around, while Emilia held on to the window sill tightly.

This was Heloise's first time riding in a carriage, so it was very novel.

Emilia had ridden in carriages many times, but none of the carriages she had ridden before ran as fast as the one she rode today. The violent bumps made her feel nauseous immediately, and she could only take deep breaths to curb her motion sickness.

Fortunately, the coachman who took the wrong medicine did not remain crazy for too long today. After galloping for about ten minutes, the coachman's driving style gradually returned to normal. He slowly reduced the speed to a level acceptable to Emilia, and then continued to move forward steadily.

——(Why is my bad luck starting so early today? Is this coachman okay?)

Emilia complained silently in her heart, wondering why she encountered such a thing as soon as she woke up in the morning. It was not only Emilia who felt strange and uncomfortable, but also the coachman himself.

In the coachman's memory, he was yawning and slacking off, wanting to set off later in the last second, and in the next second, he was already sitting on the speeding carriage, and was almost scared to fall off the carriage.

The coachman still doesn't understand why he suddenly lost his memory?

As for Jiang Ran, the instigator of this situation, he was no longer in the coachman's shadow at this time.

Just now, when the carriage passed through a forest, he ended the effect of the skill "Shadow Master", and then skillfully caught the moment when he was bounced out of the shadow, and used "Shadow Escape Step" to teleport to the woods and hide without any error.

·

The carriage carrying Emilia and Heloise has already left, and Jiang Ran’s Shura Field crisis can be said to have come to an end for the time being... but the next crisis is about to begin.
