Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

As he was thinking, Tetodav suddenly remembered the content of the commission from the Snake Shadow Society at that time. If he remembered correctly, the Snake Shadow Society wanted them to investigate a young man named "Banning".

This should just be a cover commission. Could there be some hidden secret behind it?

9.253 - Letter from the Past

Unlike Tetodav, who no longer had the strength to fly fast, Jiang Ran still retained the most basic ability to move after ending the battle in the Night Crying Mountains.

Therefore, when Tetodaf was still gliding slowly in the wind, Jiang Ran had already arrived at the town of Mel in the territory of the Green Lizard Family.

According to the original plan, Jiang Ran should have hurried back to his residence to sleep and replenish his magic, but the new strategic goal made him change his plan. Instead, he went to the Cat Girl Food Pavilion as the Frost Knight Stan and collected some "special information" without leaving any trace.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran immediately began to "create the stage" for the cat-man girl, Shiiki Ruri, and tried to make every detail as natural as possible to avoid being discovered by the head of the Ryu Hall.

Whether the benefits of the "Tetodaf Assassination Plan" can be maximized depends entirely on the "performance effect" of this "stage".

·

Jiang Ran almost forgot everything else until he finished setting up the "stage".

When he finally caught his breath, the sky outside had already been taken over by the moon.

After such a long period of busy work without sleep or food, Jiang Ran did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt refreshed because he had finally completed the preparations.

He found a nearby restaurant, filled his stomach efficiently, and then returned to the hotel where he was staying to sleep and replenish his magic.

At this moment, the silly loli couldn't help herself. She popped up in Jiang Ran's mind and asked him, "Eh? Jiang Yan, you finally finished preparing, why didn't you witness it to the end with your own eyes?"

Jiang Ran, who was already lying on the bed, had no intention of giving a detailed answer when he heard this question. He just sent the stupid loli away with a sentence "Think about it yourself", and then fell into a deep sleep.

The stupid loli was so angry!

If she could figure it out, why would she bother asking Jiang Ran?

What's even worse is that unless Jiang Ran is killed, the stupid lolita has no way to leave Jiang Ran and act alone. This means that she will not have the chance to witness with her own eyes how Shiiki Ruri fell into the trap tonight, and can only stay in this hotel room stupidly and be Jiang Ran's damn "stupid lolita alarm clock".

——(I’m so pissed! Jiang Yan! You’re such a huge idiot! Such a fool! Such a stupid pig!)

·

·

Although our classmate Jiang Ran has fallen asleep peacefully, it is actually still early.

The rising moon cast light and shadows on the cobblestone streets and narrow alleys of Mel Town. At this time, the townspeople who had already had a full meal walked out of the restaurants one after another and wandered in groups of three or five on the streets of this gourmet town.

In the night scroll, the owner of the cat girl restaurant, Shiiki Ruri, was walking in a hurry. When she was checking the accounts with the newly hired accountant tonight, she suddenly found that the late Aunt Magee seemed to have secretly left her a reserve fund.

If this spare fund can be found, it will undoubtedly make the cat girl restaurant and cat girl milk tea shop, which are already on the right track, even more prosperous.

— (I really miss Aunt Magee’s old house… The last time I went there was when I visited Aunt Magee’s grave. I’ve been so busy this past year.)

When Shiiki Ruri thought of the days when she lived with Aunt Magee, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

How she wanted Aunt Magai to see that she was now able to stand on her own feet, but unfortunately, she would never have such an opportunity again.

·

Soon, Shiiki Ruri walked through the familiar stone path and arrived at Aunt Magee's former residence.

This single-story house of less than 30 square meters is filled with Shiiki Ruri's memories. Every piece of wood and every brick in it carries the laughter and tears of her childhood.

At this moment, the moonlight as bright as silver frost poured down, covering this dilapidated little house, making it look like a forgotten gift box, waiting to be opened by Shiiki Ruri.

——(I’m sorry, Aunt Magee, I haven’t been here for a long time.)

Shiiki Ruri walked forward, took out the old key and opened the lock.

With a creaky sound, the old wooden door with green buds growing on it was slowly pushed open.

Shiiki Ruri lit up the glowing magic stone and walked into the cabin step by step. She first bowed respectfully at the entrance, and then began to carefully look for what she wanted to find on this trip.

·

Tonight, on the "problematic" account book, Shiiki Ruri discovered the "secret code" left for her by Aunt Magee.

To the newly hired accountant, the "code" looked like just a wrong entry, but in the eyes of Shiiki Ruri, who knew Aunt Magee very well, the wrong entry was actually an encrypted code.

Without the help of any tools, Shiiki Ruri completed the decryption in her mind, and then found out that Aunt Magee was worried that her business would not be doing well, so she hid a backup fund for her in the house where she used to live.

Following the instructions in the secret code, Shiiki Ruri took some time and finally dug out a wooden box from under the wooden boards on the floor of the house.

She carefully opened the wooden box and was surprised to find that there were actually quite a few coins inside. This was really icing on the cake for the Cat Girl Restaurant and the Cat Girl Milk Tea Shop!

"Woooooo, meow meow meow, this is so awesome meow!!!"

Shiiki Ruri jumped three feet high for joy and almost hit the roof. She was happy and laughing, and then she started crying unconsciously.

The reason she cried was not because she was overjoyed, but because she was rescued by Aunt Magai again.

Shiiki Ruri had never imagined that Aunt Magee's help to her would continue so many years after her death.

·

The longing and gratitude for Aunt Magai made Shiiki Ruri, who should have been overjoyed, cry softly in the hut.

While crying, she sorted the coins in the wooden box. The cat girl believed that only by continuing to run the cat girl restaurant well could she be worthy of Aunt Magai's care for her.

As she was collecting the coins, Shiiki Ruri discovered that there was a letter hidden in the pile of coins. She nervously pulled out the letter and found that the envelope was written with the words "Dear Ruri, little Ruri."

——(Is this...the letter Aunt Magee left for me?)

At this moment, Shiiki Ruri was completely frozen. She really didn't expect that after so many years, she would still be able to "hear" the voice from Aunt Magai.

When Aunt Magee unfortunately died in the mission, Shiiki Ruri's biggest regret was that she was unable to see Aunt Magee for the last time.

Therefore, this unexpected letter is as precious to Shiiki Ruri as Aunt Magee's last words.

Trembling, Shiiki Ruri opened the envelope and took out the yellowed letter paper. When she saw the first line of words on the letter paper, tears as big as beans rolled out of the girl's eyes uncontrollably.

━━━━━━━━━━

"Xiao Liuli, by the time you read this letter, I should no longer be alive..."

9.254 - The Hard Truth

What made Shiiki Ruri cry was not the content of the letter, but Aunt Magee's familiar handwriting.

When Shiiki Ruri was a little child and still learning to read, she complained more than once that Aunt Magee's handwriting was so sloppy that she couldn't understand it at all.

Now, when the scribbled handwriting appeared before her eyes again, memories of the past instantly filled Shiiki Ruri's mind, making her burst into tears.

After crying for a while, Shiiki Ruri slowly calmed down and focused on the content of the letter.

In the letter left by Aunt Magee, it says:

━━━━━━━━━━

Xiao Liuli, when you see this letter, I will probably no longer be alive.

If this is true, don't be too sad, because since I have chosen to die, it means that what I did was worthwhile.

As you know, I have always respected our chief hall master, Lord Tetodaf, but some time ago, I found that he did not seem as good as I thought, and could even be said to be an evil person.

Do you remember the medicine I gave you when I first took you in? That was given to me by Tetoduff.

At that time, he told me that the secret medicine could help weak people improve their physical condition, so I gave the medicine to the poor people who survived the Great Migration.

However, it was not until a few days ago that I discovered that those medicines were not good medicines to improve physical fitness at all, but poisons used by Tetodaf to reincarnate and prolong his life!

Xiao Liuli, I want to say sorry to you. It was my ignorance that caused you to take that poison, and also caused you to become the vessel for that guy Tetodaf to reincarnate.

The purpose of my action this time is to steal the antidote for the poison. As long as you take the antidote, Tetodav will be unable to do anything to you.

And if my action fails and is exposed, Tetodav will definitely kill me. At that time, Xiao Liuli, you must pretend that you know nothing and endure it.

Based on my understanding of Tetodav, if he kills me, he will definitely suspect you. If he sees that you already know the truth, he will definitely use the secret technique of reincarnation to take away your body in advance.

So, Xiao Liuli, you must stay calm. As long as you can survive, you will always find a way.

In fact, if possible, I don't want to act so hastily, but Tetodav is very busy these two days, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If I missed this opportunity and failed to save you, I would hate myself for the rest of my life. So, Xiao Liuli, I hope you can forgive my arbitrary decision. I also hope that when you see this letter, I will have returned safely.

I was in a hurry, so the writing is messy and the handwriting is more sloppy than usual. But if it were you, you would definitely be able to understand it easily, right, Xiao Liuli?

——Your Aunt Magee.

Shiiki Ruri read the letter Aunt Magee left for her word by word.

Then she started watching it again from the beginning, once, twice, three times...

Her heartbeat was accelerating uncontrollably, and Shiiki Ruri tried hard to calm it;

Her hands were shaking uncontrollably, and Shiiki Ruri placed them on the table to steady them.

Before opening the letter and reading it, Shiiki Ruri had imagined many possible contents of the letter, but she was still superficial. The truth that Aunt Magee left her was completely beyond her imagination.

It turns out that Aunt Magee's death was not an accident.

The friendly Lord Tetoduff turned out to be a wicked man.

Even Shiiki Ruri's own life, which she saved during the great migration, had already been targeted by someone.

The unusually dense information made it difficult for Shiiki Ruri to accept it for a while, but the letter that Magai left for her, both in handwriting and wording, was exactly the same as what Shiiki Ruri remembered.

If everything in the letter is true, then how should she face Lord Tetodaf next, and how should she stay in Teruya Liuque?

——(Auntie Magee, what you ask me to do... is too difficult...)

·

I don’t know how long it took, but Shiiki Ruri’s shaken heart finally calmed down a little.

She told herself that before thinking about what to do next, she should first doubt and confirm the authenticity of the letter.

During the reading process just now, she had ruled out the possibility that the letter was forged. Aunt Magai had been dead for so long, it was basically impossible to forge such a flawless letter.

However, since it is not 100% impossible, Shiiki Ruri has to use reverse reasoning to find possible loopholes.

Shiiki Ruri first confirmed the uniformity of the wooden box, the coins, and the letter. No matter how she looked at it, these three items were indeed more than ten years old and not recently forged.

Secondly, the placement of objects in the room, the dust on the floor, and so on, all showed only traces left by Shiiki Ruri herself when she entered just now. If someone else had been in, it would be impossible for them to have kept the scene so perfectly preserved.

Finally, Shiiki Ruri carefully checked the condition of the door locks, windows and roof, and found no signs of them having been opened.

After the search, Shiiki Ruri was basically convinced that the letter was indeed left for her by Aunt Magee. However, there was still one thing that made her feel a little strange, that is, why did she only discover the secret code left by Aunt Magee in the account book after so many years?

——(Why didn’t I notice this before?), Shiiki Ruri asked herself.

It wasn't a difficult code, and the place where it was recorded wasn't hidden, but Shiiki Ruri hadn't discovered it. If she hadn't recently listened to the Frost Armor Knight's advice and hired an accountant to help...

——(Ah, so that’s how it is.)

Shiiki Ruri suddenly laughed, and her laugh was very sad.

She only now realized that the reason she hadn't discovered the secret code was very simple. It was because she was always worried about everything and did everything herself, so she made such a low-level mistake.

If it weren't for the new accountant who needed to go through the account sheets from the beginning, she probably would never have found the letter Aunt Magai left for her in her lifetime.

——(I should be the one to apologize, Aunt Magee. I almost made your sacrifice go to waste.)

Shiiki Ruri sighed deeply and felt even more depressed.

Now the truth of the matter has been revealed, but the difficulties to be faced have just begun.

It's not that Shiiki Ruri is not angry. She hates the sinister villain Tetodaf for his actions. However, Shiiki Ruri knows deeply that anger is useless. If she wants to avenge Aunt Magee, punish Tetodaf and let the truth come to light, she needs a powerful helper to lend her a hand.

——(Yes, that's right. I must stay calm, just like Aunt Magee said. Only by making thorough preparations can I deal with Tetodaf...)

Shiiki Ruri kept taking deep breaths to stay calm. What she had to do now was to destroy the letter just in case.

Soon, Aunt Magee's letters were set on fire.

As she watched the flickering flames, Shiiki Ruri's mind inexplicably conjured up the image of the Frost Armor Knight...
