Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

According to the operating habits of the Cicada Corps, everyone should stop at a place where they will not miss each other and wait to meet.

After trekking for most of the day, Hong Xin finally entered a vast forest, and then found a path leading underground deep in the forest according to the map.

At the beginning of this road, the remaining six members of the Xianchan Corps had all arrived. When Hong Xin saw them, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Sorry for the wait everyone, let's get back to the action, meow."

Hong Xin turned his head and looked to the side, trying clumsily to cover up his gaffe.

The members of the Cicada Corps tacitly understood each other and said nothing, only secretly feeling happy for the team's reunion.

At this point, an infiltration operation into a "certain post office" is about to begin.

As the sun sinks below the horizon, night takes over the sky and the earth.

Mel, a town famous for its delicious food, enters the busiest time of the day at this time.

Whether in the streets or in the houses, the aroma of various dishes is wafting everywhere.

In a restaurant called Neko Musume Ryotei, the proprietress, Shiiki Ruri, was looking at the people coming and going outside the window, looking lost in thought.

She was thinking, I don’t think I’ve seen Frost Knight Stan today... Where did he go...?

9.223 - Countermeasures

"Boss~ Boss Liuli~?"

The clerk's shouts seemed to come from a very far away place.

Shiiki Ruri was slightly stunned, then realized that she had been distracted.

Even though they had only just met, for some reason, Frost Armor Knight Stan had already occupied a significant place in Shiiki Ruri's heart.

After just one day of not seeing each other, Shiiki Ruri felt a little distracted.

As for her change in mentality, Shiiki Ruri attributed it to the fact that she attached too much importance to the Cat Girl Restaurant.

It is precisely because the Frost Armor Knight helped the Cat Girl Restaurant in a critical moment that Shiiki Ruri cares about him so much.

Including just now, Shiiki Ruri felt that the reason why she was thinking about the Frost Armor Knight was because she wanted the Frost Armor Knight to help her judge whether her strategy to deal with "secondary resale" could really work.

——(Yes, that's right. I'm concerned about Stan-sama for all the right reasons. There's nothing to worry about, nyan.)

Shiiki Ruri's self-explanation successfully relaxed her slightly nervous mood.

After all, no matter what, Lord Frost Armor Knight Stan is not one of them yet. Before the results of the organization's investigation into Lord Frost Armor Knight come out, Shiiki Ruri, as the head of the branch hall, must not take this investigation subject lightly.

"Okay, everyone, you can go back after you clean up. You've worked hard today, meow." Shiiki Ruri cheered up, greeted the shop assistants in a normal manner, and then told everyone that she still had things to do and had to go to the street first, meow, and then left the cat girl restaurant one step ahead.

The purpose of Shiiki Ruri going out to the street was to see how Scherf, Vettel and Corinna were doing their "overtime work".

According to Shiiki Ruri's idea, the effect should be seen now.

·

After arriving on the street, Shiiki Ruri pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around her.

After walking around for a few times, she finally heard what she wanted to hear - someone was talking about how the new rules introduced by the "Food Chamber of Commerce" tonight were really great, and they curbed the occurrence of "sky-high second-hand resale" at the source.

"What, what are you guys talking about, meow? Can I listen too, meow?"

Shiiki Ruri immediately came over, looking like a spectator.

The people who were chatting did not care about the addition of this little cat-girl, and they gave her a detailed explanation in a vivid manner.

The oldest-looking uncle told Shiiki Ruri that someone in Mel Town had been reselling a drink called "Black Pearl Milk Tea" for the past few days, and the price was said to be more than ten times the original price.

The uncle himself has not tasted what the so-called "milk tea" tastes like, but no matter what, a drink should not be sold at ten times the price.

"Fortunately, there are quite a lot of people who have opinions on this. Based on everyone's feedback, the 'Food Chamber of Commerce' did something. They directly joined forces with the town's guards to issue new rules. People without business licenses are prohibited from reselling the purchased items at more than three times the price. If they sell them, they will be arrested!" The uncle said excitedly, as if he had issued the rules.

"Oh, it feels so profound, meow... But this 'Black Pearl Milk Tea' sounds delicious. I'll buy a cup tomorrow to try it, meow~"

Shiiki Ruri pretended to be ignorant to agree with the uncle, and did not forget to indirectly praise her own products. Then, in order to avoid being recognized by people who had been to the store, Shiiki Ruri quickly found an excuse to slip away.

After that, Shiiki Ruri went around the street to several places with only one purpose, which was to understand everyone's opinions on "black pearl milk tea" and "restriction on resale" through conversations with people.

It goes without saying that Shiiki Ruri would care about "Black Pearl Milk Tea", and the new rules on "restricting reselling" promulgated by the Food Chamber of Commerce were actually promoted by Shiiki Ruri.

This evening, at the instruction of Shiiki Ruri, three employees of the Cat Girl Restaurant dressed up as ordinary people and blended into the crowd to add fuel to the fire, further hyping up the news that "black pearl milk tea is being resold at a high price."

After the heat of this matter reached a certain level, it naturally attracted the attention of the Food Chamber of Commerce. Then the remaining things for the three of them were simple. They just had to wait and see how the Food Chamber of Commerce would punish those second-hand dealers.

With the Food Chamber of Commerce stepping in, Shiiki Ruri and the Cat Girl Milk Tea Shop no longer need to interfere with the high-priced second-hand transactions in the market. As for those second-hand dealers whose interests have been damaged, even if they feel hatred in their hearts, they cannot hate the Cat Girl Milk Tea Shop.

At this point, all the problems that Shiiki Ruri was worried about were solved, and the interests of the Cat Girl Milk Tea Shop were not damaged at all. It even gave the Cat Girl Milk Tea Shop and Black Pearl Milk Tea some publicity. It was a perfect solution.

"Oh my, I'm so awesome, meow~"

In a deserted corner, Shiiki Ruri completely let herself go, wagging her tail proudly back and forth.

At this moment, she really wanted to see Lord Frost Armor Knight standing by her side so that she could show off her intelligence and get his praise...?

"No, that's not right, meow. What am I thinking about, meow!"

Shiiki Ruri realized in time that there was something wrong with his ideological line and quickly stopped himself from going any further.

If she really sought praise from Lord Frost Armor Knight like a kitten, wouldn't she become Lord Frost Armor Knight's pet?

It’s dangerous. It’s really too dangerous.

Shiiki Ruri once again realized that her mental dependence on the Frost Armor Knight, Lord Stan, was really too much.

She warned herself that she must always remember her identity and not forget the potential threat posed by the Frost Armor Knight.

Even if we really want to treat the Frost Armor Knight as one of our own, we have to wait until he joins Teruya Ryujaku.

The cute and capable cat girl has been influenced by the Frost Knight Stan and has frequently lost her composure, but the instigator is still unaware of this because he changed his plan halfway back to Mel Town and decided to directly follow the seven cat ninjas of the Cicada Corps and go to the Vannia Chiefdom together.

(If all goes well... maybe we can find out where "Dove-Winged Man, Tetoduff" is hiding tonight...)

Jiang Ran followed Hong Xin and the others from a distance. The willpower of these cat-man ninjas was much stronger than he had imagined.

Jiang Ran expected that it would be good if four of the seven cat-man ninjas could stay to participate in the "test mission", but he didn't expect that all seven would stay in the end.

It was precisely because of this unexpected development that Jiang Ran changed his plan, and now, the cat-man ninjas are about to enter the "Millennium Young Cicada Monkey" passage.

(Watch out, silly Lolita, tonight’s big show is about to begin.)

9.224 - Cicada in the night

(Stupid Loli: I understand the logic, but why did you ask me to be careful? Why do I sound like a bad guy to you?)

(Jiang Ran: Because you’re the dumbest among everyone here, right?)

Jiang Ran's words were quite harsh, but what made the stupid loli even angrier was that she had no way to refute them.

Up to now, the silly loli who has been "sitting" in the VIP audience seats has really not figured out what big show will be performed tonight.

Could it be that Jiang Ran intends to use these cat-man ninjas as shields to defeat the post office run by Zhaoye Liuque from the side?

Impossible, absolutely impossible...Based on Silly Loli's understanding of Jiang Ran, it is impossible for this scheming boy to do such a reckless thing.

However, if it wasn't a planned attack, then why did Jiang Ran specifically trick these cat-man ninjas here?

——(Ah… My head hurts so much, it feels like it’s going to grow out…!)

The stupid loli thought about it for a while, and then gave up thinking.

Anyway, if you don’t understand, then you don’t understand. Just keep reading and you will soon see Jiang Ran’s plan.

At the same time, not far ahead of Jiang Ran, the seven members of the Xianchan unit had reunited and set off again after a brief communication.

Following the parchment map provided by the mysterious masked man, they found a pile of rocks in the vast forest.

After descending all the way from the pile of rocks, the cat-man ninjas saw a huge insect monster deep underground.

The moment they saw the insect monster, they subconsciously thought they were under enemy attack and immediately entered combat mode. However, not long after, the cat ninjas discovered that the insect monster seemed to be dead and showed no signs of life.

At this time, the team leader Hong Xin remembered the description he had seen on the parchment scroll. He told his teammates that the corpse of this giant insect monster should be the "special passage" that can travel through time and space.

With a skeptical attitude, the seven members of the Cicada Corps decided to explore the corpse of the giant insect monster.

For safety reasons, they did not all go in directly, but team leader Hong Xin went in first to explore.

Normally speaking, such a life-threatening task should not be carried out by Captain Hong Xin, but this time, Captain Hong Xin said that he would take the risk no matter what.

"We're in this situation now, all because of my poor decision-making. Please allow me to atone for my sins in this way, meow."

The members of the Xianchan Corps all knew Hong Xin's character. Since the captain had said so, there was no room for further discussion.

However, everyone agreed to Hong Xin's proposal, but that didn't mean they blamed Hong Xin.

Everyone knew that as long as they were in the Cicada, they had no free will - since the ten elders had ordered them to track down the messenger from the underworld, there was no way they could say no.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of the other six team members, Captain Hong Xin took the lead and entered the body of the giant insect monster through its huge mouth.

There is an extremely long special thin line tied around Hong Xin's waist, and the other end of the line is held in the hand of team member Lan Xin. Only after Hong Xin transmits a specific signal back by pulling the thin line, will the rest of the cicada-holding team members follow suit and enter the body of the giant insect monster.

·

It was late at night and the autumn wind was biting.

In the dense forest with heavy tree shadows, deep underground with winding ravines, six members of the Cicada Corps stood in front of the "corpse" of the giant insect monster, waiting anxiously.

If Captain Hong Xin does not send back the agreed signal within an hour, they will have to abandon Captain Hong Xin and evacuate on their own.

As time passed, the members of the Cicada Corps became more and more uneasy... Fortunately, things did not develop in a bad direction. When the special thin wire began to transmit the pulling signal, the signal transmitted back represented "safety".

At this moment, these well-trained cat-man ninjas almost cried out with joy, but the professional ethics ingrained in their bones allowed them to remain calm, and then they began to enter the body of the giant insect monster one by one with quick movements.

With Captain Hong Xin leading the way, the team members' journey was much easier. After a short journey, they finally reunited with the captain. After the reunion, the exit of this "special passage" was right in front of them.

"Attention everyone, level one combat alert."

Captain Hong Xin's order immediately made the members of the Xianchan team tense up, but they soon discovered that there was nothing at the exit of this passage, only a piece of hillside grass that could be seen everywhere.

But it was the ubiquitous grassy slopes that filled them with wonder... They had clearly been underground when they entered the special passage, so how could they have returned to the surface after only a short distance? Furthermore, they hadn't felt like they were climbing a single slope; the path was entirely flat... Could it be that within the giant insect monster's body, there truly existed a "special passage" capable of traveling through time and space?

"I really saw a ghost, meow..."

Hong Xin turned around to look at the place where they had just walked out and found that it looked like just an ordinary cave entrance.

If Hong Xin had not just experienced this incredible thing personally, he would never have believed that such a passage existed in the Prison Star World.

——(Hiss… 'Teruya Ryuja'… How unfathomable…nyan…)

·

·

After a short rest, the seven members of the Cicada Corps set out again according to the instructions on the parchment scroll.

Along the way, they paid attention to the surrounding terrain, looked at the lights of the town in the distance, and looked up at the night sky, using the moon and stars to determine their location.

The cat-man ninjas found it incredible that all the evidence showed that they had indeed come from the Kingdom of West to the Chiefdom of Vanya thousands of miles away.

——(This is outrageous, meow… If that 'channel' were used for military purposes, the damage would be unimaginable…)

Captain Hong Xin only complained in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

As the captain of the Cicada Unit, he couldn't set a precedent of "discussing irrelevant topics during an operation."

After about half an hour of forced march, Captain Hong Xin and his team finally arrived at the battle site of this "test mission" - a post office branch on the edge of the town.

At this time, it was late at night and the post office was naturally closed.

Captain Hong Xin did not rush to sneak in, but first asked his subordinates to disperse and scout the post office from a distance to see if there was anything suspicious.

This investigation actually gave them a clue. Team members Lan Xin and Huang Xin reported separately that they found triggered trap magic circles on the windows of the second and third floors. It was a bit too much to use this level of trap magic circles on the windows of such an "ordinary" post office.
