Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

——(Yeah, meow, it’s sleeping time, isn’t this the best opportunity? meow!)

Shiiki Ruri did what he said. Before starting, he deliberately found a flat road for the horses pulling the cart to move freely.

Then she turned over and went into the carriage, ready to open the helmet of the Frost Knight with her own hands.

Since the wish cannot be fulfilled by luck, Shiiki Ruri will realize it with her own hands!

·

·

In the galloping carriage, the Frost Armor Knight Stan sat steadily, his shoulders leaning against the wall of the carriage, motionless.

In this small space, the petite cat-man girl Shiiki Ruri held the chair with both hands, half-crouched in front of the Frost Armor Knight Stan, holding her breath and preparing to take action.

Looking at the fully covered, eerie helmet, to be honest, Shiiki Ruri couldn't tell whether the Frost Armor Knight had woken up or not.

Therefore, in order to deal with emergencies, Shiiki Ruri has made preparations.

If Lord Frostmail Knight happened to wake up at this time, she would openly say that she was here to wake him up for his shift change and that the time for the rotation had come.

However, thirty seconds had already passed since he had climbed into the carriage, and the Frost Armor Knight hadn't reacted at all.

If he were awake, he would at least talk to me, right? — Shiiki Ruri thought.

To be on the safe side, before taking action, Shiiki Ruri whispered, "Sir Stan... there seems to be a monster ahead."

If even such words did not elicit a response, then Shiiki Ruri could confirm that the Frost Armor Knight was indeed still sleeping soundly.

A second passes.

Five seconds pass.

The Lord Frostmail Knight showed no reaction.

At this point, Shiiki Ruri could finally confirm that the Frost Armor Knight was still sleeping.

Well, don’t miss this opportunity!

Shiiki Ruri mustered up her courage, holding onto the carriage with one hand while reaching for the Frost Armor Knight's helmet with the other...

At this moment, she was less than ten centimeters away from the true face of Frost Knight Stan!

With shaking hands and an excited heart, Shiiki Ruri kept telling herself in her heart, "Hold steady! I must hold steady...!"

——(It’s just a matter of lifting the visor of the helmet. I can definitely do such a small thing, meow!)

[Note: This is a character design for Frost Knight Stan, to help you visualize the scene with the visor of his helmet partially opened.]

Five centimeters...

Three centimeters...

One centimeter!

Shiiki Ruri's fingertips have already touched the helmet of the Frost Armor Knight!

However, what was extremely "unfortunate" was that at that very moment, the carriage, which was driving steadily, suddenly shook violently!

After this violent jolt, the carriage was fine, but Shiiki Ruri was in a terrible state. She fell completely on the Frost Armor Knight, looking like a little bird relying on its man... no, a little cat relying on its man.

In an instant, Shiiki Ruri's heart became as cold as the armor of the Frost Armor Knight.

Like a conditioned reflex, she immediately jumped up, wanting to escape from the crime scene before Lord Frost Armor Knight woke up. However, Lord Frost Armor Knight woke up faster than her. Just as Shiiki Ruri turned around, Lord Frost Armor Knight's voice came over.

"Um, it's Boss Liuli...it's time for the shift change...right?"

·

When she heard the voice of the Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri's heart skipped a beat.

She originally thought she was finished, but she didn't expect that there was still a chance for her to make a comeback.

While the Frost Knight was still somewhat confused, she only needed to seize the opportunity and continue talking along with him. Perhaps she could resolve this predicament!

"Yes, yes, meow. I was just about to come and call you, but I didn't expect the carriage to suddenly jolt. Fortunately, it didn't overturn, meow."

Shiiki Ruri thought quickly and found a reasonable excuse for appearing in the carriage.

The "nothing has happened" in her words refers not only to the carriage, but also to herself.

Although the action of lifting the helmet to see the true face of the Frost Armor Knight failed, at least Shiiki Ruri's intention was not exposed. Such a result is a blessing in disguise for her now.

Yes, as long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood - Shiki Ruri believes that there will definitely be opportunities to take action in the future.

In this way, thanks to Shiiki Ruri's quick response, she successfully escaped danger, changed her shift, and then began to sleep and replenish her magic in the carriage.

And the Frost Knight Stan, or rather, our classmate Jiang Ran, who was sitting in the driver's seat, quietly activated the skill "Trickster - Word Spirit" on the highland horse pulling the cart, directly controlling it mentally to gallop according to his will, without even having to use the reins.

In addition, he also activated the skill "Trickster: Suggestion Effect", which slightly improved the attributes of the plateau horses, allowing them to reach the volcanic ruins faster.

As for what happened in the carriage just now, there is no doubt that it was all under his... and the stupid loli's control.

(Stupid Loli: Hehehehe~ How's it going, Jiang Yan? This time, I'm still a little useful, right?)

Amidst the silly lolita's smug and devilish laughter, the silly lolita alarm clock finally turned the tables.

10.27 - Return to the Volcano

It is reasonable for the silly loli to be so proud this time.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time she has made a contribution of practical significance since she followed Jiang Ran to the Prison Star World.

At this moment, Silly Loli's inner thoughts were that in the face of this ironclad fact, even the eloquent Jiang Ran would not be able to mock her anymore.

Therefore, she must take this opportunity to show off, otherwise she doesn't know when she will have such an opportunity again.

——(Come on, Jiang Yan, let me see how stubborn you can be, hahahaha~!)

Silly Loli was full of anticipation for Jiang Ran's upcoming rebuttal. Just imagining herself overwhelming Jiang Ran with words, the corners of her mouth were about to bend up to her eyebrows with smile.

However, just as the silly loli was immersed in her beautiful fantasy, Jiang Ran's reaction surprised her.

(Jiang Ran: "Somewhat useful"? No, no, no, if you say that, Master Nisen, you are being too modest. If you hadn't woken me up in time this time, I'm afraid little Liuli would have ruined everything by now. It's no exaggeration to say that you are my second parent.)

(Stupid Loli: Eh? Huh? Another monk protecting his mother? This... this is a bit too much, isn't it?)

Jiang Ran's corny compliments made the silly loli extremely uncomfortable.

Being used to hearing this guy's sarcastic remarks, and now that he was suddenly praised so highly, the silly loli got goosebumps all over her body.

(Jiang Ran: I didn’t exaggerate. These are my sincere feelings.)

(Stupid Loli: Don’t provoke me, I can’t stand it…)

(Jiang Ran: Master Nison, please let me call you Mother Nison!)

(Stupid Loli: Ahhhhhhh help me! Jiang Yan is going crazy!!!!)

Under Jiang Ran's extreme "praise", the stupid loli finally couldn't bear it anymore and started screaming and howling.

Obviously, the stupid loli is too naive to win over the old fox Jiang Ran in verbal battle.

The mentally tortured silly loli left the scene (temporarily). In the darkness of the night, only Jiang Ran was left sitting in the driver's seat, watching the scenery along the road fly by.

·

Through the small window between the driver's seat and the carriage, Jiang Ran could see that Shiiki Ruri was fast asleep.

To be honest, Jiang Ran was quite surprised by this. He thought that Shiiki Ruri would be shaken for a long time after failing to remove the helmet.

Jiang Ran didn't know whether Shiiki Ruri had a strong psychological quality or was just too optimistic, but no matter which one it was, it was a plus for this talent.

Just when his helmet was almost lifted up by Shiiki Ruri, Jiang Ran used the skill "Shadow Behind" to create a black shadow clone under the carriage in time.

The black shadow clone immediately collided with the carriage, causing it to shake violently, allowing Jiang Ran to resolve Shiiki Ruri's "attack" without having to "take action".

However, the crisis has been resolved, which does not mean that the matter is over.

Through his mind-reading ability, Jiang Ran clearly saw that Shiiki Ruri still had a strong obsession with her "true identity".

From now on, as long as I continue to work with her, I must be wary of her vigorous curiosity.

(Stupid Loli: Oh my, little Liuli, this paper looks more like a landmine~)

(Jiang Ran: Nison’s mom, where did you go just now? You’re so right~!)

(Stupid Loli: Uwaa Jiang Yan... Don't be so upset... Just let me go...!)

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 9

〖6:12 in the morning〗

[Death Future Remaining: 33 Days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 20 days]

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 66 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

The brief storm dissipated along with the autumn night wind.

During the rest of the journey that night, Jiang Ran and Shiiki Ruri got along peacefully, taking turns sleeping and resting until they arrived at the ruins of the Wakono volcano.

As the date transitioned from September 9th to 25th, the countdown to Jiang Ran's future death completed a round of counting.

Since the instigator of this incident, Tetodaf, was already dead, Jiang Ran spent the day that would have resulted in his death peacefully, and then ushered in a new round of countdown to his future death.

This time, the murderer who will kill him in 33 days is tentatively presumed to be from the Dark Rabbit clan. As for who it is and what method of murder he uses, Jiang Ran currently has no clues.

The rising sun lit up the horizon. Jiang Ran squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the outline of the remains of the Wakeno volcano.

The last time he came here was to return the "Pigeon Blood Red Stone·Filia" to the Feiqi family. According to the time calculation, Viviana should have found the treasure - Jiang Ran thought so.

As long as the reincarnated Son of God Viviana regains the pigeon blood red stone, the Feiqi family will have the confidence to go to the territory of the werewolf royal family and bring back Lord Feiqi.

Jiang Ran felt that, judging from the specific grievances in the last conflict, the werewolf royal family should not make things difficult for the innocent Feiqi family.

(If everything goes well, they should be on their way back to Yanji City? Or have they already arrived in Yanji City?)

Yanji City is not far from the Wakeno volcano ruins, so Jiang Ran could actually take a trip to Yanji City to take a look.

However, Jiang Ran didn't want to cause any trouble at this critical juncture, so he just thought about it and didn't take any actual action.

(With Viviana's abilities and the two loyal red and black elders... there will definitely be no problem, hmm.)

·

Putting aside his messy thoughts, Jiang Ran woke up the sleeping Shiiki Ruri.

Unlike Shiiki Ruri who wanted to touch him while he was sleeping, Jiang Ran had no intention of doing anything to Shiiki Ruri.

This is not because Shiiki Ruri is not pretty or attractive, but because Jiang Ran is well aware of the dangers of beauty and will never let his lower body make decisions for him.

When Shiiki Ruri regained consciousness, Jiang Ran told her to find some food nearby, while he himself would go to the ruins of the Wakeno volcano first to make sure there were no hidden dangers inside.

However, Jiang Ran was actually telling a lie.

The reason why he deliberately sent Shiiki Ruri away was because he didn't want her to know about the "Demon Baron Yeku".

Jiang Ran still needs time and energy to digest the various magical facilities buried in the "underground palace" and the "iron egg" that has already regarded Jiang Ran as its master.

[Note: For details about the Demon Baron Night Skull and the Underground Palace, please refer to chapter "9.122 - Returning with a Full Load"]

·

Returning to the interior of the Wacono volcano ruins, Jiang Ran began to make repairs as he was familiar with the process.

His purpose this time was simple, which was to hide the underground palace better, and then set up the so-called "truth of the matter" in the volcanic ruins.

When the old man Guiyu of the Ratman Clan arrives here with the people of Zhaoye Liuque, Jiang Ran will let them take the precious "truth" back by themselves.

As a result, the fateful stage for selecting the next chief hall master will come into the spotlight ahead of time under Jiang Ran's urging.

10.28 - The second stage of practice
