Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

[Note: The screenshot above is from Chapter 4 - The Eye of the Super Dimension]

The reason why it is called "evidence" is because Jiang Ran noticed the "interests" of the good god.

According to general theism, gods send humans to perform tasks, usually without regard to interests, and only for the benefit of all people and world peace. However, in the brief conversation between Jiang Ran and the good god, the good god tacitly accepted the premise that "Jiang Ran's completion of the task will bring him benefits."

Based on this situation, Jiang Ran boldly speculated that not only did another traveler selected by the "Evil God" exist in this Prison Star World, but the other party, like himself, was also carrying out various actions with the goal of completing the Evil God's mission.

So, is the other party's mission objective to "kill those waiting to die in the Good God camp"?

Jiang Ran had this guess at first, but soon he no longer thought so.

First of all, this speculation lacks "symmetry" because Jiang Ran assumes that the "Good God" and the "Evil God" should be in a competitive relationship. If the mission of the "Evil God's camp waiting to die" is to kill himself, Jiang Ran's mission should also be to kill the other party.

Secondly, Jiang Ran has noticed that the strength of the "Evil God Camp's Dying Person" is obviously several levels higher than his own. If the other party does not have any cheating plug-ins, then this strength gap should be caused by "time" - the "Evil God Camp's Dying Person" has lived in the Prison Star World for a long time and has undergone a lot of training to achieve his current strength... Jiang Ran thinks so.

Then, based on the above speculation, Jiang Ran had a bolder inference, that is, the "Evil God Camp's To-Be-Dying Person" had killed more than one "Good God Camp's To-Be-Dying Person", so he was able to skillfully snipe Jiang Ran who had just entered the Prison Star World not long ago.

As for why the other party did this, it was because killing the "people waiting to die in the Good God camp" could prevent the Good God camp from completing the mission, thereby buying more time for the Evil God camp.

Perhaps, it is precisely because the "Evil God Camp's Waiting to Die" has already gained a sufficiently large lead in the Prison Star World that the difficulty of the Prison Star World is defined as "impossible level".

The remaining question is, what will be the "mission" of the "dead people in the evil camp"?

Taking Jiang Ran’s quest “Conquer the One and Only Demon God, the Unspeakable Name” as a reference, could it be that the quest “Waiting to Die in the Evil God Camp” would be to conquer the leader of the “Human Alliance”?

Jiang Ran is not optimistic about this possibility.

As far as he knew, unlike the Demonic faction, which had a "one superpower, many strong" structure, the Human Alliance faction did not have an absolutely powerful figure on the level of "The One and Only Demon God, the Unspeakable Name". Instead, they had the combination of the "Three Royal Knights of Savior".

Whenever the Sole Demon God goes out into battle, the Three Royal Knights of Savior will gather to fight against him. Although they cannot defeat the Sole Demon God, the Sole Demon God cannot do anything to the Three Royal Knights of Savior either. This is the main reason for the current stalemate on the front line.

If the mission of "The Evil God's Camp's To-Be-Dead Person" is symmetrical with Jiang Ran, then the best answer is to capture or kill the Three Royal Knights of Savior. To accomplish this, even if the Evil God's Camp's To-Be-Dead Person does not have the same strength as the Sole Demon God, at least it cannot be too much different.

Perhaps it is because of this that the dead in the Evil God camp have stayed in this Prison Star World for so long but have not yet completed their mission.

The action of "sniping those waiting to be killed in the Good God's camp"... might just be a small thing the other party did "incidentally".

In short, no matter what the actual details are, Jiang Ran feels that the general direction of his speculation should be almost correct.

In order to complete the mission of the good god in this high-pressure and high-risk living environment, the plan he currently proposes is to escape from the light into the darkness, grow and develop in secret, and then return to the stage when the time is right to fight against the "real enemy".

After bidding farewell to Mel Town this time, Jiang Ran will temporarily continue to use the character design of Frost Knight Stan, while as for "Banning" and "Fike" and other "characters", they will be shelved for a while.

The only thing Jiang Ran felt sorry for this time was the cat-man girl, Shiiki Ruri, but he could not ignore the risks for the sake of profit. Moreover, the scandals and secrets caused by Tetodaf should be "guarded" by this inheritor.

So, after leaving a farewell letter to Shiiki Ruri, Jiang Ran prepared to leave Mel Town, heading directly to the place where the Dark Rabbit clan lived in seclusion... That was what he thought.

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Ran even left the hotel, Shiiki Ruri, who was supposed to be recuperating in a big town, appeared at his door!

Moreover, after just a few words of greeting, Shiiki Ruri revealed her true intentions and asked Jiang Ran the question she had been planning for a long time.

"Miya... Mr. Stan, have you ever heard of the name Teru... Teruyari Liuque, meow?"

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 68 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

Just one day later, Zhaoye Liuque's base under the lake had returned to its former order.

The three branch hall masters, who had finished their busy work, gathered in the conference hall at this time to discuss the next arrangements while having a meal.

The leader of the Zhaotang Hall, the werewolf uncle Dark Moon, may be slovenly, but he has a very good foundation. He has long silver-gray hair, a beard that is full of hormones, and a sturdy and strong body. Even if he is sitting there chewing on a roasted leg of lamb without any manners, it does not reduce his handsomeness in the slightest.

The head of the Night Hall, the fox-man grandmother Huanyan, was old but still very energetic. She exuded a gentle and elegant temperament just by sitting there eating cake with a knife and fork.

Against the backdrop of her lavender magic robe, the scene of her dining looked like a beautiful oil painting.

However, if you are familiar with her, you will be told not to be "fooled" by her pretentious elegance.

When the old lady released the explosive fire magic, it could burn the word "elegance" to ashes.

The last one was the leader of Quetang, Rat Man Grandpa Guiyu, who was sitting with his legs crossed and sipping tea. He was the oldest and ate the least, so he only ate two fruits and considered it as his meal. He sat leisurely on the side waiting for his two colleagues to finish eating.

While he was waiting, he started chatting. After all, the werewolf uncle ate a lot and the fox grandmother ate slowly. If he really had to wait until they both finished eating before starting to discuss, the rat grandfather would be suffocated to death.

"In a few hours, the Grand Master will have been out of contact for over 24 hours... According to the organization's regulations, we should almost start the process of selecting the 'Interim Grand Master'. What do you think, the two branch masters?"

Grandpa Ratman spoke his thoughts slowly and unhurriedly. Uncle Werewolf did not respond and continued to gnaw on another leg of lamb with a grunt. Grandma Foxman slowly put down her knife and fork and gave Grandpa Ratman a meaningful look.

"There are still two or three hours left. What are you rushing for, Trickster?"

The fox woman's question obviously had a hidden meaning, but the rat man pretended not to hear it and continued to communicate on the "surface".

"Fufufufu... I'm not in a hurry, I'm just bored. Without Xiao Liuli to chat with me, I'm so bored, so bored~"

"If you're bored, you can talk about something else, as long as it's not an unlucky topic."

The fox lady was very considerate and gave the rat man Guiyu a way out. The rat man Guiyu tactfully chatted with her about a wide range of topics.

Since they had nothing to say, the conversation gradually came to an end, and then the conference room fell silent again.

·

Rat Man Guiyu was not looking for a topic to talk about because he was bored, but was testing the thoughts of the other two branch hall masters.

After this round of conversation, he has basically figured out the attitudes of these two colleagues.

——(It seems... I'll have to put in some effort if I want to get to the top.)

Rat Man Guiyu felt that if he wanted to gain an advantage in the upcoming selection of the "Temporary Chief Hall Master", the simplest and most effective way might be to win over the head of the Liu Hall, Xiao Liuli.

However, Xiao Liuli had gone out to recuperate and was not here at the moment, so the rat man Guiyu, who had a lot of ideas but nowhere to do them, had to hold the teacup and the teapot and continue drinking tea by himself.

There were ratmen drinking tea, foxmen eating, and werewolves gnawing on meat. At first glance, the conference hall seemed calm, but in fact, beneath the surface, there were undercurrents of thoughts.

During the meal, the fox grandmother Huanyan finally finished her meal. She glanced to the side and saw that the werewolf uncle was still eating heartily, so she suggested going out for a walk and then left the conference room temporarily.

·

The fox grandmother said she was out for a walk, but in fact she was conducting another field investigation.

Regarding the two things, "the suspected disappearance of the chief hall master, Tetodaf" and "the werewolf uncle smelled the scent of the winged race from the meat slices", she seemed to have no idea on the surface, but deep down in her heart, she had her own thoughts.

According to the report submitted by the subordinates, the last time the members of Zhaoye Liuque saw the chief hall master was in the inner court square, and the one who left the inner court square with the chief hall master was Liutang master Jiying and the cat-man girl Xiao Liuli who looked inexperienced.

The fox grandmother Huanyan remembered that when Xiao Liuli woke up the three branch hall masters in the conference hall, she did mention that she had acted together with the chief hall master, and also said that the chief hall master had noticed that an enemy had infiltrated, so he acted separately from her.

It’s not that the fox grandmother wants to suspect Xiao Liuli, but the last person who acts with the chief hall master will inevitably bear some suspicion.

The fox grandmother Huanyan believed that with Xiao Liuli's strength, even if it was a sneak attack, it would be impossible for her to assassinate the chief hall master. However, if she cooperated with external forces, there was a possibility of success. This situation could also explain why the extremely secret stronghold under the lake was found by the enemy.

——(Speaking of which… When the Spiral Underground Library was infiltrated by the enemy, Xiao Liuli was said to be the primary suspect at the time, but was later dismissed by the head hall master… Now that I connect these two things, Xiao Liuli seems even more suspicious…)

While thinking, the fox grandmother came to the warehouse located in the corridor. Although the fire had been put out for a long time, there was still a strong smell of burning.

According to the fox grandmother's memory, last night, among the four branch hall masters, she was the first to arrive at the base under the lake, followed by the Liu Hall Master, Jiying.

The heads of Zhaotang and Quetang arrived late, and in the fox grandmother's opinion, the crime was committed in a hurry.

Considering all these, Xiao Liuli is highly suspicious. If the fox grandmother hadn't been unable to figure out the motive of this cat-man girl, she would have stood up and called on everyone to investigate her. It would be even more impossible for her to be allowed to move freely outside now.

As for the rat-man Guiyu who seemed to want the chief hall master to die quickly, the fox-man grandmother had seen through the old guy's intention to take the position very early on. However, the fox-man grandmother also knew that the rat-man Guiyu was loyal to the organization and would not destroy the organization's structure for his own benefit, let alone bring in external enemies.

——(Master, if you are still alive, please show yourself as soon as possible... Otherwise, the organization may be in chaos.)

The fox grandmother walked into the dark warehouse and used the glowing magic stone to illuminate the interior.

Since the subordinates had already investigated the place, there was not much at the scene worth looking at further.

However, as the head of the branch hall, the fox grandmother had her own unique insights. She noticed that a collapsed wall seemed to be a blind spot in the investigation, so she raised her usual magic wand, chanted a spell, and used magic to prop up the wall again, and just maintained the structure of the warehouse, so that her operation did not cause a second collapse of the building structure.

In this area obscured by the collapsed wall, the fox grandmother made a discovery. Amidst the gray-black rubble, she found a small piece of white, jade-like substance...

10.02 - Each one goes his own way

"This is……?"

The fox grandmother gathered the white fragments in her hands, rubbed them repeatedly to feel them, and guessed that these should be small pieces of broken jade.

Although "jade" itself is not a rare thing, the fox grandmother has never seen anyone wearing jade in this base under the lake.

At this moment, the fox grandmother suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a brief mention in the subordinates' report that "the head of Liutang, Lord Jiying, once played a beautiful white flute in the inner court square."

——(A white flute...could it be...?!)

The fox grandmother's heart began to beat rapidly, and she felt that she was standing at the door of the truth.

The fox grandmother's old body could not bear the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat. She pressed her chest and walked outside.

She called her men over and asked them to collect information to confirm her guess. The result was just as she expected. All the unfavorable suspicions were immediately focused on Xiao Liuli.

"..."

The fox grandmother kept her thoughts to herself and didn't let her subordinates know.

She said nothing and returned to the conference room alone. At this time, the werewolf uncle had just finished eating the last roasted leg of lamb, so they went straight into discussing work arrangements.

·

In terms of age and seniority, Rat Man Grandpa Guiyu is the oldest among the three, so naturally, he became the host of the discussion meeting.

Guiyu, in contrast to his previous anxious attitude, slowly began to sort out the current situation from the beginning.

Guiyu said that including the Liutang master who was not here, the four branch hall masters were called here by the emergency summons from the chief hall master.

If the accident had not happened last night, the four of them should have been carrying out the emergency mission under the order of the head hall master. The reason why they are still gathered here is mainly due to two reasons.

"First, the whereabouts of the head hall master are unknown. Second, the identity of the enemy who attacked the lake base remains unknown."

Guiyu raised two fingers and stated the two reasons, and then distributed three responsibilities based on these two biggest problems at the moment.

The three responsibilities are:

1. Acting as the head hall master to temporarily manage the daily affairs of Zhao Ye Liuque;

2. The duty to investigate the truth of last night's events;

3. Find the responsibility of the head master;

"Since Xiao Liuli is not here, the three of us can just divide these three responsibilities. Besides... that girl is still too young, so let's not add more burden to her for now." Guiyu said slowly.

"I have no opinion."

The fox grandmother Huanyan nodded decisively. This development was exactly what she wanted to see.

——(Xiao Liuli is now a major suspect, and she cannot be involved in subsequent events...), Grandma Huanyan thought so.

As for the werewolf uncle Dark Moon, he said he was not interested in these complicated things and that he only needed to be assigned simple tasks to do.

"How about leaving the task of finding the Grand Master to me? I swear on the werewolf's name that as long as the Grand Master is still alive, I will bring him back."

It was completely reasonable for the werewolf Dark Moon to volunteer. Among the four branch hall masters, he was the best at tracking.

Both the fox-man Phantom Flame and the rat-man Whisper had no objection to the werewolf Dark Moon's proposal, so the matter was settled.

As for the remaining two responsibilities, Rat Man Guiyu actually wanted to take the position of acting chief hall master, but it was not appropriate for him to initiate such matters himself.

Just when the rat man Guiyu was thinking about how to convince the fox man grandmother, the fox man grandmother gave him an unexpected assist and directly suggested that the master of the Que Hall should temporarily take over the daily work of the chief hall master.

"You, Guiyu, are the most senior among us and the most thoughtful. I think you are the best choice to stabilize the daily operations of the organization."

The fox lady's words made Rat Man Guiyu think he was hallucinating from lack of sleep. Hadn't this old woman been contradicting him not long ago? Why had she suddenly changed her ways? Did all fox people experience menopause so late?
