Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

·

During the eavesdropping process, Jiang Ran mainly used his identification ability, but unfortunately, his mind reading ability could not be used on the chief hall master, Tetodaf.

Tetodaf's combat professional level exceeded level 200, which was beyond the current scope of Jiang Ran's mind reading. However, with his outstanding insight and psychological analysis, Jiang Ran still obtained a lot of useful information.

Among all the gains, Jiang Ran thought the most important one was that he witnessed with his own eyes "Tetodaf secretly adding medicine into Shiki Ruri's water cup."

Through this action, Jiang Ran was able to determine the real purpose of Tetodaf's trip to Mel Town - he concluded that Tetodaf was not just passing by occasionally as he said, this guy actually came to find Shiiki Ruri.

·

At the time of the incident, the moment Tetodav put the drug into the water, Jiang Ran immediately activated the "Computing Power Boost·Overload" skill.

With the time flow slowed down fivefold, he clearly saw and identified the name of the potion.

Jiang Ran saw that the potion that Tetoduff gave to Shiiki Ruri was called "Truth Serum", and what was very "coincidental" was that the maker of that potion was actually the "Dark Rabbit Clan" that Jiang Ran had been "thinking about day and night" recently.

Through his identification ability, Jiang Ran saw that the effect of the "truth serum" was to make the user only tell the truth for a period of time. He could judge from this that Tetodav actually suspected Shiiki Ruri, but was just pretending to be indifferent on the surface.

From Jiang Ran's perspective, it is understandable that Tetodav suspects Shiiki Ruri. If he were in Tetodav's position, he would also suspect Shiiki Ruri. Who made this cat-girl get into trouble right after visiting the "Spiral Underground Library"?

As the leader of "Zhu Ye Liu Que", Tetodav gave some "truth serum" to the branch leaders under his command for the sake of the organization's vital intelligence center. Jiang Ran felt that such behavior was completely reasonable. After all, not everyone has the ability to read minds.

However, the source of this "truth serum" made Jiang Ran think a lot. Why did Tetoduff happen to have the potion made by the "Dark Rabbit Clan" on him?

Considering Jiang Ran's previous speculation, the possibility that the top management of "Zhaoye Liuque" has a close relationship with the "Antu Clan" can even be boldly guessed further. Maybe it is only Tetodaf himself who is colluding with the "Antu Clan"?

In this way, it seems reasonable that only the head master, Tetoduff, can directly read the "Information on the Dark Rabbit Clan".

However, even though this clue can be deduced so smoothly, Jiang Ran did not accept it as a "fact" because subjective reasoning is often influenced by preconceived notions.

Moreover, taking a step back, Jiang Ran was not very interested in the dirty deeds going on inside "Zhaoye Liuque". What he was really interested in was the "Spiral Underground Library", a very valuable intelligence center.

By observing Tetodaf's micro-expressions and body language, Jiang Ran initially deduced that after the "Spiral Underground Library" was invaded, Tetodaf would most likely abandon the current facilities and re-establish an intelligence center for "Zhaoye Liuque".

In this way, there will inevitably be some confusion, giving Jiang Ran the opportunity to obtain more information.

Speaking of which, Jiang Ran still regrets it very much. He regrets that he did not take the opportunity to read more information in Library No. 37.

Anything classified as "Top Secret" by an intelligence organization of the level of "Teruya Ryuque" must be a secret that is both explosive and exciting.

Now God has given Jiang Ran another chance, how could he miss it?

To be a little greedy, Jiang Ran even wanted to use all the information collected and organized by "Zhao Ye Liuque" for himself. If he could do so, it would definitely make his subsequent adventures much smoother - and this is exactly what Jiang Ran thinks is "profitable" this time.

(Stupid Loli: So much information, can you read it all? Be careful not to be too greedy and get yourself into trouble.)

(Jiang Ran: That's amazing! It's rare that you can speak like a human being. Not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work.)

(Stupid Loli: You you you you...! Humph! Your kindness is not rewarded!)

Although Jiang Ran teased the stupid loli, he actually agreed with the stupid loli's previous complaints.

The amount of information stored in the "Spiral Underground Library" is simply too huge. Without guidance, even if Jiang Ran has the ability to take it all, he will not be able to use it for his own benefit.

Fortunately, this problem is not urgent for the time being. As long as Jiang Ran continues to keep a close eye on Shiiki Ruri, he should not miss the opportunity to take action.

Now, Jiang Ran has another urgent and important thing to do, which is to get the next confession point in Mel Town.

·

Jiang Ran did it right away. He immediately controlled the butterfly to fly out of the warehouse of the Cat Girl Cooking Pavilion. Seeing this, the stupid loli screamed anxiously.

(Stupid Loli: Hey, hey, hey? Why are you running away? I thought you flew here to capture Shiiki Ruri!)

(Jiang Ran: You don't pay attention in class, stupid loli... Didn't I tell you this before? Times have changed. Shiiki Ruri is no longer a good capture target.)

As Jiang Ran spoke, he changed his "mount" from a butterfly to a passing bird, and then accelerated towards the outskirts of Mel Town.

He had just heard someone at the Cat Girl Restaurant say that the mountainous suburbs north of Mel Town had been in turmoil recently, with bandits often appearing to rob people on the road.

Places where incidents are likely to happen are perfect places for him to find his "target".

·

The bird hovers above the mountain suburbs, and everything that happens in the suburbs is visible to the bird.

As the sun sets in the west and the moon rises in the night sky, this already desolate mountain area becomes even more eerie.

Most people who encounter such a situation would basically avoid passing through such dangerous places at night. However, there was a carriage that, perhaps because it was in a hurry, actually rushed into the mountains without any escort.

9.169 - Casting a Net to Catch Fish

In the darkness of night, a lone carriage sped along the rugged mountain road.

Judging from the way the carriage was driven in pursuit of speed regardless of danger, the coachman undoubtedly wanted to pass through this dangerous area as quickly as possible... But unfortunately, the more people fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

Just as the carriage was passing through a small path in the mountains and forests, a large rock suddenly rolled down from the cliff and blocked the way in front of the carriage.

The coachman tried his best to stop the carriage but failed, and finally he could only let the carriage run off the path when it was about to collide with the horse. As a result, the carriage and the horse were immediately entangled and overturned to the ground.

After the carriage overturned, the coachman and the people in the carriage wailed continuously, but before they could escape from the predicament, a group of thieves emerged from the shadows around them and surrounded them with swift movements!

It is obvious that the falling rocks just now were not a natural disaster, but the work of these thieves.

Now that the people in the carriage are in such a situation, there is a high probability that they will be doomed.

"Keep a close eye on them all! Don't let anyone go!"

The bandit leader shouted loudly from the hillside, overlooking the situation.

Judging from his skilled command and dispatch, it is obvious that this is not the first robbery similar to tonight's.

Before long, the coachman and the passengers in the carriage were controlled by the thieves, and all the supplies in the carriage were looted.

The bandit leader had only just arrived at the scene. He looked all the captives up and down with a smile, and then issued extremely cruel orders in a joking tone.

"Kill all the men and bring the women back to entertain the brothers."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the thieves shouted excitedly. In sharp contrast to them were the coachman and the butler who were struggling hard, and the two girls who were so frightened that they had lost control of themselves.

However, just as the thieves were about to swing their evil machetes, it was these vicious desperadoes who first screamed.

The Frost Armor Knight appeared behind the thieves at some point, and with just one sword he cut them in half like straws. Then, the Frost Armor Knight did not give the remaining thieves time to react. He rushed up with his burly body at an incredible speed, and in just a few blinks of an eye, he killed all the thieves present. Only the thief leader was spared, but his hands were ruthlessly cut off, and he could no longer do evil.

·

"Are you guys okay?"

After dealing with the thieves, the Frost Armor Knight turned around and walked over to the captives, helping them untie the ropes on their bodies and pull out the cloth balls stuffed in their mouths one by one.

The coachman, the housekeeper and the two girls were all physically fine, but they had suffered great mental trauma and were temporarily unable to speak normally. The two girls, in particular, were unable to even stand on their own.

Seeing this, the Frost Armor Knight helped them to lift the overturned carriage up again and made the panicked horses tie the reins again.

Afterwards, the Frost Armor Knight brought the tied-up thief leader to the victims and asked them to bring him back to town and bring him to justice.

"I still have a mission to complete, so I won't be accompanying you back. See you again if we're lucky."

The Frost Armor Knight said this in a casual manner, then turned and left.

When the two girls saw this, they stood up anxiously and asked the knight's name together.

"M-Mister Knight! What is your name, please?"

Hearing this question, the Frost Armor Knight stopped, but he did not turn back. Instead, he continued walking forward.

Before walking away, he answered the girls' questions in a loud yet lonely voice.

"I'm not a knight, just a wanderer. If we meet again, just call me 'Stan'."

After parting with the carriage group, the Frost Armor Knight quickly disappeared into the darkness again.

He sneaked into the shadow of the owl and once again began to look for his next target in the night sky.

(Stupid Loli: Uh... Jiang Yan, you... what are you up to?)

(Jiang Ran: Can't you understand such a simple and straightforward action? Stupid Loli, if you don't use your brain more, sooner or later you will degenerate into a being even more useless than a paramecium.)

(Stupid Loli: What, what Paramecium! Damn you, Jiang Yan! Humph! If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t tell me! I can figure it out myself! Humph!)

Under Jiang Ran's stimulation, the silly loli became serious again after a long time.

She was originally curious about how Jiang Ran planned to solve the confession curse problem this time, and whether he would try to win over the cute cat-girl... However, judging by this guy's current behavior pattern, he really wanted to change his tactics.

And it may also be a very evil routine.

Under the gaze of the stupid loli, Jiang Ran once again performed the scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress that night, but this time there were no bandits to act as the bad guys, so Jiang Ran captured a few first-level poison-clawed demon wolves himself to attack the little girl living in the suburbs.

These little girls living in the suburbs are all from poor families. They don’t have the money to live in towns with better security conditions. Once they are attacked by monsters, they have no choice but to abandon all their belongings and run away.

On the way of their family's escape, Jiang Ran, pretending to be passing by, appeared again as "Frost Knight Stan", and then easily destroyed the monster, winning the gratitude and respect of the little girl's family.

(Stupid Loli: Shameless, Jiang Yan! What the hell are you doing?!)

The stupid loli really couldn't stand it anymore. If the previous expedition against the bandits could be considered chivalrous, then this self-directed and self-acted performance was so bad that he could totally be a villain!

(Jiang Ran: Stop arguing. Why are you getting so excited? This isn't the first time I've done something like this. Is this your first day meeting me?)

After hearing what Jiang Ran said, Silly Loli remembered that Jiang Ran had done something similar when he was trying to capture Wei'er.

This guy always uses any means to achieve his goals!

Then...what is Jiang Ran's purpose this time?

The silly loli watched Jiang Ran once again dive into the shadow of the birds and fly into the night sky in search of "prey", and suddenly realized that Jiang Ran was casting a wide net to catch fish!

To be more precise, Jiang Ran was sowing his love everywhere, specifically picking young women to give them "life-saving grace".

(Stupid Loli: Jiang, Jiang Yan, you, you, you, are you really going to...!)

(Jiang Ran: You only understand now?... Never mind. By your standards, it's pretty good. Now that you know, just shut up and stop arguing with me.)

It was rare to receive affirmation from Jiang Ran, but the silly loli couldn't be happy at all.

She now finally understood what Jiang Ran meant when he said "find an ordinary girl", but this "villain-like" approach was really hard for her to accept.

——(Am I too naive…Jiang Ran, I really can’t see you clearly anymore…)

9.170 - Foresight

What happened next completely fulfilled the stupid loli's worst premonition, and was even worse than before.

Jiang Ran, a master of time management (literally), actually completed five "heroic rescue" operations around Mel Town in just three or four hours, which amazed the stupid loli.

(Stupid Loli: Jiang Yan... If you do this, aren't you afraid that Mel Town will become a large Shura field?)

Silly Loli has now accepted Jiang Ran's villainous behavior, but when she thinks of the possible consequences of his "flirting" behavior, Silly Loli can't help but sweat for Jiang Ran.

(Jiang Ran: Shura Field? Stupid Loli, I think you're thinking too much.)

At this time, Jiang Ran finally showed mercy and gave the stupid loli some explanation. He told the stupid loli that all his actions tonight were open and honest acts of saving people, and there was no so-called "showing mercy".

Therefore, even if the girls he saved tonight knew each other's existence tomorrow, it would not lead to any substantial facts that would be detrimental to Jiang Ran.

Even if ordinary people heard the rumors about the events last night, they would only think that "Frost Knight Stan" had just arrived in Mel Town and started to shine, and brought such great help to the residents around Mel Town in just one night.

(Jiang Ran: Stupid Lolita, think carefully. I didn't say a single extra word except telling them my name was 'Stan'. The reason you think I'm being philandering is because you already know my 'real purpose' for doing so, and that's why you're being biased by your subjective filter.)

After listening to Jiang Ran's explanation, the stupid loli suddenly had an epiphany.

If she didn't have a physical body now, she really wanted to jump out and applaud Jiang Ran.

However, this feeling of admiration did not last long. After being excited, Silly Loli thought about it for a while and found that something seemed to be wrong.

(Stupid Loli: Wait… wait a minute, Jiang Yan, even if you didn't leave any "evidence" tonight, what are we going to do with the next "strategy phase"? These girls all live near Mel Town. No matter which one you want to capture, the others will become obstacles, right?)

In the eyes of silly Loli, the current Mel Town can almost be said to have become a dangerous place with a large number of landmines. If Jiang Ran were to take action here next, it would be very easy for him to "run into love around the corner."

(Jiang Ran: Oh, so you still don’t fully understand what I said before… Stupid Loli.)

Jiang Ran's sigh made the stupid loli confused, and she even forgot to complain about why this guy gave her a new nickname.

She immediately asked Jiang Ran what she had done wrong, and then used persistent methods to force Jiang Ran to give an answer.

Jiang Ran explained to the stupid loli that there would be no more "strategy sessions" and that the "Frost Knight Stan"'s strategy against these girls would end tonight.

Such an incredible explanation made the stupid loli even more confused, but this time no matter how much she insisted, Jiang Ran would not explain to her anymore.

Using the excuse that it was already very late, Jiang Ran returned to the hotel in Mel Town and fell into a deep sleep.
