Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Shiiki Ruri jumped onto a nearby tree in two steps, and after observing the terrain and geographical location for a while, she began to run quickly across the endless swamp.

Not long after, Shiiki Ruri came to a seemingly ordinary swamp and stopped.

To others, this is just an ordinary swamp, but to Shiiki Ruri, it is the entrance to the secret base of the covert intelligence organization "Teruya Ryuja".

——(Please clear the way for me... White Wind Phantom Itachi!)

As Shiiki Ruri waved her hands, several wind-sickled weasels made of magic power were immediately released, and in an instant they cut a passage leading to the underground in the swamp!

9.157 - Spiral Underground Library

Somewhere in the Prison Star World, under the autumn sun, in the swamp forest.

Shiiki Ruri, a cat-man girl with long silver-pink hair and red eyes, just jumped into the underground passage hidden in the swamp. Just after Shiiki Ruri jumped, a wasp that had been following her quietly also swooped down quickly and successfully followed her into the underground passage.

Afterwards, the swamp that was cut open by the Gale Weasel quickly returned to its original state, and anyone who came here would not discover the secret hidden under the swamp.

·

·

The buzzing wasps entered the underground passage under the swamp.

It carefully kept a distance from the cat-man girl in front of it, and at the same time did not forget to lower the sound of its flapping wings as much as possible to avoid attracting the girl's attention and being slapped to death.

Generally speaking, ordinary wasps certainly do not have such intelligence. The reason why this wasp is so unusual is that our classmate Jiang Ran is lurking in its shadow, controlling its every move.

As soon as Jiang Ran entered the underground passage, he saw that there was a glowing magic stone embedded in the rock walls on both sides at regular intervals, illuminating the place where it should have been pitch dark.

He secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that this secret intelligence organization "Zhaoye Liuque" is indeed quite something. Following it all the way here really opened Jiang Ran's eyes.

·

First of all, it was quite difficult for Jiang Ran to track Shiiki Ruri. The fourth-order, level 140 Phantom Wind White Ninja not only sounds powerful in name, but is also quite capable in actual actions.

Jiang Ran originally thought that he could easily catch up by just finding a fast-flying bird or insect, but he didn't expect that in the end he not only had to change different "mounts" many times, but also had to use instant movement skills such as "Shadow Escape Step" and "Double Shadow Escape Step" to avoid being discovered by Shiiki Ruri.

Secondly, Jiang Ran was shocked when he saw the "Millennium Cicada Monkey" in the primeval forest.

Firstly, he had never seen a baby cicada monkey as big as a whale, and secondly, this monster insect actually had the incredible function of a "portal".

Speaking of baby cicada monkeys, Jiang Ran is actually very familiar with them. When he was a child and was the leader of the children in the countryside, he often took his friends to catch baby cicada monkeys and bring them back to eat.

Just now, although familiar things appeared again, their scale was so ridiculous that it made it difficult for Jiang Ran to feel nostalgic.

Through identification, Jiang Ran learned that this giant baby cicada monkey monster was named "Millennium Baby Cicada Monkey". Its class was as exaggerated as its size, reaching the terrifying level 10, level 650!

This made Jiang Ran think of the legend about the "Millennium Cicada" in the Earth world. If this "Millennium Cicada Monkey" successfully transformed and grew up, who knows what kind of terrible disaster it would cause when it was unearthed.

Fortunately, this monster is not in a state where it can move freely at the moment. It has been "sealed" by some unknown god, and all functions have stopped. It can only serve as a "portal" for the personnel of "Zhaoye Liuque".

·

The reason why "portal" is put in quotation marks is because the shuttle tunnel inside the body of the "Millennium Cicada Monkey" does not allow visitors to go wherever they want.

For unknown reasons, the body of the Millennium Cicada Monkey can connect two geographical spaces, but these two spaces are permanently fixed.

Jiang Ran guessed that it was very likely that the founder of "Zhao Ye Liu Que" discovered this secret and used this "Millennium Young Cicada Monkey" that was sealed by someone unknown to set up a branch in the Kingdom of West.

After completing the geographical location shuttle with Shiiki Ruri, Jiang Ran discovered through the map ability of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye that he had arrived in the "Vanya Chiefdom" thousands of miles away in an instant. According to Shiiki Ruri's inner thoughts just now, the headquarters of "Teruya Ryuja" was hidden in this country.

At this moment, Shiiki Ruri was heading to a functional organization of the "Teruya Ryujaku Headquarters", which was called the "Intelligence Base" and was also one of the secret bases of "Teruya Ryujaku".

Shiiki Ruri planned to use his identity as the head of the branch hall to retrieve information about the "Dark Rabbit Clan" from this "intelligence database" for review.

·

The two of them walked quickly, one in front and one behind, in the underground passage where there was no sunlight. Finally, the road ahead suddenly opened up, and then Jiang Ran followed Shiiki Ruri into a spiral underground space.

(These guys...are they exaggerating? Are they underground architects...?)

There was a reason why Jiang Ran was so surprised. The "underground library" that appeared before him was no exaggeration to say that it was a masterpiece of art.

A large number of libraries are cleverly extended along the spiral underground space. All the passages are cleverly designed, allowing people to easily go up and down from one level to other levels. In addition, passages leading to unknown places are opened at the edge of each spiral, making this underground space also serve as a transfer hub.

Jiang Ran has been in the Prison Star World for nearly half a year. He can't be said to be knowledgeable, but he is definitely not ignorant. This underground spiral library is the closest thing to a miracle that Jiang Ran has ever seen.

·

Following Shiiki Ruri, Jiang Ran looked around as he moved forward. In this huge underground space, all kinds of strange people would appear from time to time, and they were all in a hurry and very busy.

Like everyone else, Shiiki Ruri ignored everything that was not related to the purpose of this trip, and soon she arrived at the main desk in the center of the underground library.

Seeing the "receptionist" sitting at the front desk, Jiang Ran was shocked again, because the person sitting there was actually an "octopus man". The eight tentacles swaying behind him immediately reminded Jiang Ran of "Endless Abyss·Mishasha", and all kinds of unpleasant memories came flooding back.

Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of "Goddess of Courage, Eret" and the help of his inherent ability "Fearless Heart", Jiang Ran quickly regained his composure and used his identification ability to discover that he had made a mistake.

The octopus man sitting at the front desk is not an ordinary receptionist, but the "director" of this "spiral underground library".

"Haha, what brings you here, 'Master of Liutang'?"

The octopus director just looked up at Shiiki Ruri, then continued to work at his desk with his head down.

The eight octopus tentacles behind him were also not idle, and were constantly handling other tasks, as if this uncle could do eight things at once... no, nine things at once.

"Long time no see, Uncle Librari. I came to ask you for some information today, meow."

Shiiki Ruri seemed to be accustomed to the octopus man's indifference. She didn't care at all that the other party was not looking at her, and sat down at the corner of the table at the front desk very relaxedly.

"Haha, what kind of information do you want? Don't think you can break the rules just because you're the 'Master of Liutang'."

The octopus uncle still didn't look up at Shiiki Ruri, but an octopus tentacle behind him had already picked up a piece of parchment "Application Form" and was about to hand it to Shiiki Ruri to fill out.

However, just as the octopus man was about to hand over the form, Shiiki Ruri's answer made him stop.

"I want information on the Dark Rabbit Clan, meow. Uncle Librari, which library should I go to, meow?"

9.158 - Cats Retreat

"Hehe, information about the 'Dark Rabbit Clan'? Liutang Hall Master, please allow me to ask, why do you want information about the 'Dark Rabbit Clan'?"

The owner of the Spiral Library, the Octopus Man Librari, sat up straight for the first time at this time.

He had been busy all the time, but at this moment he stopped everything he was doing and looked seriously at the head of Ryudo, Shiiki Ruri, who was sitting at the corner of the counter.

When Shiiki Ruri saw Uncle Librari's reaction, she knew that it would not be so easy to get information about the "Dark Rabbit Clan" now.

She knew that once this busy uncle started to get serious about something, it meant that it would be difficult for him to get it done.

However, since she is here, there is no reason for Shiiki Ruri to give up.

·

"Emm... There's a commission for our quest guild... The client wants information on the 'Dark Rabbit Clan', so I wanted to come back here to see if there's anything..."

Shiiki Ruri's intentions were very resolute, but when the words came out of her mouth, she seemed very guilty, even though what she said was actually the truth.

The main reason she felt guilty was that she didn't want Uncle Librari to know that the cat girl restaurant in Mel Town was facing operational difficulties...

·

This would be very embarrassing for her.

·

"Hehehe, Liutang Hall Master, when did you start working part-time as a reward hunter at the Quest Guild? I thought you came to me because you received a mission from the organization and needed intelligence."

Uncle Librari's words deeply hurt Shiiki Ruri's heart. If it weren't for the Cat Girl Cooking Pavilion, she wouldn't have taken on commissions to earn extra money.

Now, Shiiki Ruri doesn't want to continue wasting time on this matter. She just wants to get the information quickly and leave.

"Okay, Uncle Librari, stop talking so much, meow. Just give me the application form quickly, meow." Shiiki Ruri jumped off the table and said sincerely to Uncle Librari.

"Haha, no, the information on the 'Dark Rabbit Clan' is quite special. Unless you have a letter of order from the 'Head Master', I cannot let you check it."

Unexpectedly, after talking to Shiiki Ruri for so many sentences, the octopus man rejected her request outright.

Since information on the Dark Rabbit Clan requires a letter of order from the headmaster, why not just say it earlier? What's the point of all this chatter? Oh my!

Shiiki Ruri suddenly became a little angry. She felt that Uncle Librari was deliberately teasing her, but no matter how unhappy she was, Shiiki Ruri could not get angry at this hateful octopus man.

If you offend him, it will be difficult to get help from the Spiral Underground Library in the future.

"Is it really necessary, uncle? Can't you make an exception for me?"

"Haha, no."

After the failure of the last attempt, Shiiki Ruri gave in very straightforwardly.

This is not because she lacks the perseverance, but because Uncle Librari is well-known for his ruthlessness.

Once upon a time, even the chief hall master wanted to get some special treatment, but was rejected by Uncle Librari in public. Since then, no one dared to make unreasonable requests to Uncle Librari.

·

—(Nyan… This is getting tough, nyan… Is there any other way to earn these five gold coins…)

Shiiki Ruri sighed in her heart. Feeling unwilling to give up, she did not go home yet. Instead, she found a chair nearby and sat down, watching the people coming and going in the spiral underground library with empty eyes.

Shiiki Ruri wondered what everyone was busy doing. Could it be that among all these people passing by, there was someone who had read about the Dark Rabbit Clan?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Shiiki Ruri's little head!

——(Yeah, meow! Why should we limit our information acquisition to books?!)

Shiiki Ruri was so excited that she almost jumped up. She immediately found paper and pen and ran around the spacious spiral underground library distributing the flyers she had just written.

She promised on the flyer that anyone who could provide her with detailed information about the "Dark Rabbit Clan" would be rewarded with a gold coin!

However, Shiiki Ruri didn't have many silver coins on hand, let alone a gold coin.

Her plan was that as long as she completed the commission in Mel Town, she could use one gold coin from the five gold coins to pay others. She wanted to applaud herself for such a clever move!

However, Shiiki Ruri's dream was soon shattered for two reasons:

The first reason was that she had been running around in the Spiral Underground Library for quite some time and hadn't come across anyone who knew anything about the Dark Rabbit Clan.

The second reason is that Uncle Librari noticed Shiiki Ruri's improper behavior and sent soldiers to order Shiiki Ruri to stop it, otherwise she would be expelled.

At this point, Shiiki Ruri's pitiful last bit of hope was completely extinguished. With no other options left, she could only dejectedly embark on the return journey.

·

The cat-man girl Shiiki Ruri left, but the wasp that followed her into the spiral underground library was still buzzing around in the corner.

Jiang Ran lurked in the shadow of the wasp, watching Shiiki Ruri leave with frustrated steps, and thanked her in his heart.

Things that Shiiki Ruri couldn't do by breaking the rules were just right for someone like Jiang Ran who would do anything to achieve his goals.

The problem Jiang Ran faces now is that he doesn't know where the information about the "Dark Rabbit Clan" is stored. It is impossible to find the books he wants in this huge library without guidance.

So, Jiang Ran carefully flew back to the main reception desk and watched the "Owner of the Spiral Library": Octopus Man Librari from afar. He then began to think of a solution while observing.

·

Through identification ability, Jiang Ran clearly saw that the Octopus Man Librari was not an ordinary person. Like Shiiki Ruri, he was a fourth-order, level 140 combat professional.

However, unlike Shiiki Ruri, Uncle Librari is already 97 years old. At this age, a human being would be an old man about to enter the coffin, but Uncle Librari still looks like a man in his forties.

Combining the interaction between Shiiki Ruri and Uncle Librari just now, Jiang Ran guessed that the octopus people might live more than twice as long as humans, which is why there are such differences in appearance.

In addition, Jiang Ran still remembered that when he had been "dealing" with the werewolf tribe before, the werewolves' actual age was generally much older than they looked.

It seems that the physical abilities of the subhuman race are mostly better than those of ordinary humans, but in this Prison Star world, ordinary humans are a dominant race that is stronger than the subhuman race. This is really incredible.

This is most likely the influence of the so-called "New God"...? Jiang Ran thought so.

Back to the point, due to Uncle Librari's impressive strength, Jiang Ran couldn't directly use his skill "Trickster" to deal with him.

If he were to resort to force in this spiral underground library, Jiang Ran felt that the risks outweighed the benefits, considering that this was one of the bases of the secret intelligence organization "Zhaoye Liuque", and there was no need to rush into the risk for the time being.

Jiang Ran has plenty of ways to get this "library director" to tell the "answer" himself.

9.159 - Curator Lebrary

Jiang Ran controlled the Bumblebee and circled around the spiral underground library.

In order to get the librarian, Librari, to "tell" the information about the "Dark Rabbit Clan", he needs to find some "external force" to "help".

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Ran basically had a plan. He returned to the main station, intending to rehearse it one last time in his mind before taking action.

However, what Jiang Ran didn't expect was that before he finished the rehearsal, someone gave him an unexpected surprise.
