Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Jiang Ran believed that if he could help Shiiki Ruri become the next head master of Zhaoye Liuque, then his original idea could be realized in another way.

However, there is no free lunch in the world, nor is there zero-risk profit. In order to ensure a successful cooperation, Jiang Ran boldly let Shiiki Ruri know one of his trump cards: the skill of shadow artist.

If Shiiki Ruri starts investigating Jiang Ran based on this clue, she will probably find out a lot of things.

However, Jiang Ran actually made his plans based on the premise that he would be investigated by Shiiki Ruri, because he could see clearly through mind reading that Shiiki Ruri could no longer suppress her desire to investigate him.

Since this cat-man girl wants to investigate, instead of letting her conduct an uncontrolled and comprehensive investigation, it is better to pretend to accidentally leak some clues to her. In this way, Shiiki Ruri will follow Jiang Ran's "guidance" and investigate the things that Jiang Ran wants her to know without realizing it.

(If it goes as smoothly as I expected... that would be great.)

Jiang Ran sighed and began to draft the agreement.

The task of "helping Shiiki Ruri obtain the position of chief hall master" will undoubtedly take Jiang Ran a lot of time.

Although he no longer has to worry about the "Confession Death Countdown", the death warrant of the "Ancestral Wolf's Conviction Curse" has not disappeared yet.

With limited knowledge of the Dark Rabbit Clan, Jiang Ran is currently unable to judge whether the remaining 68 days will be sufficient or tight. Therefore, based on the principle of "tighten first and then loosen", he should try to compress as much time as possible.

After some furious writing, Jiang Ran finished the agreement before midnight, and then traveled under the stars to Shiki Ruri's residence in Mel Town.

When Shiiki Ruri came to open the door for Jiang Ran, also known as the Frost Knight Stan, with sleepy eyes, her expression was as unbelievable as if she saw a shark grow two legs and walk on land.

"Master Stan? Is it really you? Why are you still here so late...?"

Shiiki Ruri was so surprised that she was incoherent and it took her a long time to calm down.

The Frost Knight Stan told Shiiki Ruri straight away that the agreement had been written and they should come and sign it.

Shiiki Ruri: “???”

·

Whether judging by appearance or age, Shiiki Ruri is an absolute young girl.

When a man knocks on the door of a young girl's bedroom late at night, it would be disrespectful to the word "young girl" if he doesn't show some tenderness and sweetness.

However, there are always people who don't understand romance, and that person is Frost Knight Stan.

Ten minutes ago, Shiiki Ruri heard someone knocking on the door and calling her name while she was sleeping, and then she woke up in a daze.

She asked, "Who is it?" and the answer she got was, "Frost Knight Stan."

Upon hearing this name, coupled with this familiar voice, Shiiki Ruri instantly woke up and jumped out of bed.

But just when she was about to open the door for the other person, she suddenly realized that she was not wearing any clothes yet, so she quickly said, "Wait a moment! I'll be there right away!", and then began to grope in the dark for clothes to wear.

After a flurry of activity, Shiiki Ruri finally opened the door in a manner that allowed her to see people. Until she saw the Frost Armor Knight with her own eyes, she was still wondering if someone was playing a prank or something, and was ready to fight at any time.

But after seeing the Frost Armor Knight, all of Shiiki Ruri's vigilance disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable throbbing tension.

——(Why did you come to see me so late, Frost Knight?)

——(Could it be that he, he, he has some special feelings for me?)

——(But but but I have no experience, meow, what should I do in this situation?)

Shiiki Ruri's heart was beating so fast.

She now feels like the people on Earth waiting for the arrival of a typhoon. They are afraid that the typhoon (Lord Frost Armor Knight) will not "come", and they are also afraid that the other party will "come" randomly.

In the end, the Frost Armor Knight's words were enough to make Shiiki Ruri's heart stop—this guy actually came to sign a cooperation agreement! Was it really necessary to disturb someone's sleep in the middle of the night? It wasn't like if he signed it tomorrow morning, he wouldn't be able to run for the next Grand Master!

Shiiki Ruri's original anticipation was ruined just like that, but she was not unreasonable or someone who couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant, so even with a gloomy look of unhappiness on her face, she still signed the cooperation agreement.

"Boss Liuli, now we are official partners."

"Just call me Liuli, Master Stan... and if there's nothing else, I'm going to bed, meow."

Frost Armor Knight Stan sounded quite happy, while Shiiki Ruri's tone was even more dull than boiled water. This was her small counterattack against Lord Frost Armor Knight's lack of understanding of romance tonight.

However, what Shiiki Ruri did not expect was that tonight's episode did not end here, but... had just begun.

Just as Shiiki Ruri had turned sideways, the voice of the Frost Armor Knight called her from behind.

"Wait a minute, Boss Liuli... uh, wait a minute, little Liuli, don't go to sleep yet."

The Frost Armor Knight awkwardly adopted a new title and even grabbed Shiiki Ruri's hand quite forcefully...?

10.10 - Second visitor

The moment the Frost Armor Knight grabbed her hand, Shiiki Ruri froze.

Although this was not the first time she shook hands with the Frost Armor Knight, at this moment, the rough touch from that hard hand, coupled with the words just now by the Frost Armor Knight and the ambiguous atmosphere unique to the night, made Shiiki Ruri's heart suddenly feel a little "chaotic" and "a hundred birds singing".

——(Don’t, don’t go to sleep? What the hell is Stan doing…?!)

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, there were at least fifty thoughts flashing through Shiiki Ruri's mind, if not a hundred.

She stopped hesitantly, not daring to turn around to face the Frost Knight.

Shiiki Ruri was worried. If the Frost Armor Knight really wanted to make "that kind of request", how would she deal with it?

·

Although Shiiki Ruri didn't really dislike the Frost Armor Knight, if she wanted to do "that kind of thing," shouldn't she follow the procedure? At least she should start by holding hands, right?

Just when Shiiki Ruri's mind was tangled in hundreds of knots, the voice of the Frost Armor Knight came again.

What the Frost Armor Knight said this time can be said to have "saved" Shiiki Ruri, but it can also be said to have extinguished the budding fire of youth in the girl's heart.

"I almost forgot to tell you, Liu, little Liuli, on my way here just now, I noticed a few unfamiliar faces, led by an old fox lady. I heard that they seemed to be looking for you everywhere." The Frost Armor Knight said calmly.

Shiiki Ruri, who had been prepared for a pink love story, felt as if she was walking on the street on a sunny day and was suddenly drenched by a heavy downpour when she heard this.

What happened to that "request, that thing"? What did this fox-man grandmother have to do with me? Why was the atmosphere and feeling already right, yet things just kept going wrong?

However, even though she complained, the fact that "someone was looking for her in the middle of the night" immediately sounded the alarm in Shiiki Ruri's head.

She decisively put away her complicated thoughts, turned around, and confirmed the details with the Frost Armor Knight. When it comes to the old lady of the fox tribe, the first person that comes to Shiki Ruri's mind is the head of the Night Hall who loves explosive magic.

——(Oh my god, meow…could it be Grandma Phantom Flame?)

As a result, in this world, what you fear will come true.

After communicating with Lord Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri discovered with trepidation that there was a 90% chance that the person looking for her was actually the Night Hall Master, Grandma Phantom Flame.

"Why are they looking for me, meow?" Shiiki Ruri couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I haven't heard much about that."

"Then... Lord Stan, what makes you think they're looking for me? Did they mention my name?"

"There's no name, but the cat-people girl they described looks pretty much the same as you."

"Basically the same as me?"

"Yes, they said they were looking for a cat-man girl with silver-pink hair and red eyes."

After hearing this, Shiiki Ruri knew that she had no way to escape this time.

If we use the words of the Earth world to describe this, the only thing missing is Shiiki Ruri's ID number.

"Oh no, Master Stan, let's get ready to run away!"

Without time to explain, Shiiki Ruri directly pulled the Frost Armor Knight towards the back door.

As she walked, she told Lord Frost Armor Knight that the visitor was the head of the branch hall of Zhaoye Liuque. She thought that her assassination attempt on the head head had been discovered, or she had become a suspect, so they came to her house in the middle of the night.

Shiiki Ruri also said that within Teruya Ryujaku, the four branch hall masters did not know each other's bases.

"Grandma Huanyan, the fox-man grandmother you just saw, was able to arrive in Mel Town so quickly. She must have had strong suspicions about me, which is why she acted so quickly."

What Shiiki Ruri is considering now is that Grandma Phantom Flame is well prepared, while both he and Lord Frost Armor Knight are not in very good condition.

What she should do is not to give up the election and run away, but to avoid Grandma Huanyan's edge first. After she has recovered from this, she will go and confront Grandma Huanyan to see how the organization views her now.

However, although Shiiki Ruri's reaction was already very quick, Grandma Huanyan was still one step faster.

Just as Shiiki Ruri and Lord Frost Armor Knight walked to the back door, Grandma Huanyan knocked on the door of Shiiki Ruri's house.

"Excuse me for disturbing you so late at night, little Liuli. I'm Grandma Fumu. Could you please open the door for me?"

The old man's vicissitudes of life voice came from the front door, stopping Shiiki Ruri in her tracks.

The Frost Knight asked why they stopped. Wasn't this a good opportunity to escape through the back door?

Shiiki Ruri replied that the organization's strategy for capturing targets always puts knocking on the door as the last step.

"When we hear the knock on the door...it means that the house is actually surrounded from all sides, meow." Shiiki Ruri sighed helplessly.

Now, Shiiki Ruri cannot choose to run away, because once she runs away she will definitely be discovered, and once she is discovered, the fact that she is fleeing for fear of crime will be confirmed.

By then, Shiiki Ruri would really have no chance of becoming the next head master.

However, Shiiki Ruri is not without a "way" to go now. She told Lord Frost Armor Knight that since Grandma Phantom Flame did not choose to break into the house and arrest people, it means that she is only a suspect and there is no conclusive evidence yet.

"Go hide, Lord Frostmail Knight. As long as I don't get caught by Grandma Phantom Flame during this conversation, I should be fine through tonight's surprise attack, meow."

"Emm...Okay, then be careful."

Frost Knight Stan didn't ask tactlessly why he was hiding.

A grown man like him appearing in a young girl's bedroom late at night is harmful to the girl's reputation.

However, it was not easy for a big guy like Frost Knight Stan to hide. In a hurry, Shiiki Ruri asked him to hide under the bed, and then went to open the door for Grandma Phantom Flame.

"Good evening, Grandma Fumu... It's so late, is there something urgent, meow?"

Shiiki Ruri, who had regained her energy, pretended to be sleepy again. Next, it was her own battle.

"Sorry, sorry, Xiao Liuli, it's really urgent. Can I go in and talk to her?"

Grandma Huanyan, who calls herself Grandma Fumu, looks no different from usual, still a kind-hearted old lady.

But Shiiki Ruri knew that beneath Grandma Huanyan's harmless appearance, there must be a sharp sword that could kill people without bloodshed.

"Sure, come on in."

While letting Grandma Huanyan in, Shiiki Ruri quickly glanced at the environment outside the house and vaguely saw two or three blurry black shadows, probably the people from the Night Hall Branch brought by Grandma Huanyan.

Whether these guys can be defeated depends on Shiiki Ruri's ability with her mouth.

10.11 - Undercurrent

October 187, 9

0:13 AM

[Death Future Remaining: 1 Days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 21 days]

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 67 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

The night sky of the Prison Star World tonight is covered with dark clouds.

The black curtain swallowed up the silver moon and stars, shrouding everything in the world in a deep and depressing shadow.

At this moment, a simple little house in the town of Mel was also shrouded in such a dull and tense atmosphere. In the house, the two branch leaders of the secret intelligence organization, Teruya Ryuque, had just sat down facing each other.

On the surface, both of them looked calm and composed, but inwardly they were both furiously thinking about what they should do to win this battle of wits without the flicker of swords or the shadow of a sword.

·

"I'm so sorry to bother you so late, little Liuli..."

After they sat down, Grandma Phantom Flame of the Fox People was the first to speak. She was wearing ordinary clothes tonight, not the enchanting purple robes she usually wore in the base.

Therefore, in the eyes of those who don’t know her, Grandma Huanyan now looks like an ordinary old lady that can be seen everywhere.

"It's okay, Grandma Fumu. You came here in person, it must be something urgent and important."

The cat-man girl Shiiki Ruri responded with a smile, but her eyes, which were barely open, were still filled with sleepiness.

Because she was called out of bed, Shiiki Ruri was now wearing a loose set of pajamas. Her whole body felt fluffy and soft, and there was no sign of the agility she usually displayed in her daily movements.

"Well, it's indeed an important matter. But, little Liuli, you have really grown up. I thought you would be a little surprised."
