Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Wind-ear sister criticized sister Junzu's last attack in an emotionless tone.

To this, Sister Junzu responded: "You are right, Sister Fenger. It is better to listen to your instructions next time."

The spark that could have caused an argument was quietly extinguished.

Galloping Foot and Wind Ear, these two "emotionless" twins, can never quarrel.

Afterwards, the twin sisters divided the work and worked together to decompose the edible parts from the corpses of the eroded gray lizard and the poisonous horned ghost deer.

The tough-skinned lizard has only a small piece of meat on its belly that is relatively edible, and although most of the meat on the venomous deer is edible, the meat is quite tough, and only the strips of tenderloin inside the spine have a better taste.

Needing to travel light, Galloping Foot and Wind Ear only took the two aforementioned good meats. As for the rest, to put it in a more EQ-savvy way, they gave it back to nature, while to put it in a less EQ-savvy way...

I understand everything I understand.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Mel Town in the territory of the Blue Lizard Family in the Kingdom of West, the proprietress of the Cat Girl Restaurant and the Cat Girl Milk Tea Shop, or in other words, the head of the Liu Hall of the secret intelligence organization Teruya Liuque, Shiiki Ruri, had just finished a morning of special training.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Shiiki Ruri used her mind to convey a message to "someone", and then a burly and powerful knight emerged from her shadow.

"Well done, Boss Liuli. You've adapted to the second stage much faster than I expected," the knight said to Shiiki Liuli.

The knight's name is Stan, his background and identity are a mystery. He claims to be a wandering knight who has left the Knights Templar and is acting alone.

Shiiki Ruri did not delve into the Knight's background, because since they met, they had experienced a lot of hardships together, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were now in a relationship of life and death.

"Really, Master Stan? It's really not easy to get your praise, meow~!"

Shiiki Ruri pricked up her ears with joy. In order to hear the words of recognition from the Frost Armor Knight, God knows how much training she had endured in recent days that was unbearable for ordinary people.

"Of course it's true. Now it all depends on how you perform in the 'selection'."

"Yeah, I can't wait, meow~!"

When she thought about the "selection of the chief hall master", Shiiki Ruri was eager to try.

The reason why she gritted her teeth and persevered through the second stage of training this time was to be able to seize the position of the next chief hall master in one fell swoop.

Shiiki Ruri knew that only by becoming the next headmaster could she clear Aunt Magee's name and make the crimes of the previous headmaster, Tetodaf, known to the entire organization.

In this Prison Star world, having power does not mean that you can do everything, but in most cases, power is a domineering tool that can trample ordinary people underfoot.

·

"However, I still don't understand why Grandpa Whisper suddenly changed his mind. He's so determined to move the 'selection' forward... Could it be that he actually found evidence that Tottoduff is dead?"

On the way back to Mel Town, Shiiki Ruri raised her doubts to the Frost Armor Knight.

In her memory, Tetodav's body had not only been cut into countless thin slices, but also burned in a fierce fire, leaving no evidence at all.

The person who advocates the early selection process this time is none other than that old-fashioned Mr. Weird Words. Could it be that the current situation is really as dangerous as he said?

Frost Knight Stan pondered for a moment, then gave his answer.

Frost Knight Stan said, "Mr. Whisper's judgment is correct. Even if Tottodaff were still alive, it wouldn't affect Teruya Liuque's selection of someone to take charge. Judging from the current situation, Teruya Liuque's situation is indeed dangerous."

The clear and coherent answer allowed Shiiki Ruri to understand the current situation more clearly. However, she still felt that all these things were a little too "magical" - it was as if there was an invisible hand secretly pushing the development of the situation, and it was pushing it in a direction that was beneficial to Shiiki Ruri.

·

Shiiki Ruri's feeling was correct, because there really was such an "invisible big hand".

Jiang Ran, also known as Frost Knight Stan, played a crucial role in this whole thing.

If it weren't for his subtle guidance along the way, Old Man Guiyu would not have been able to make up his mind so quickly.

As for the monitors sent by Old Man Guiyu, Jiang Ran discovered them early on.

However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Jiang Ran pretended not to notice anything and did not even tell Shiiki Ruri. He wanted her to give a full and true performance.

Nowadays, whether it is Grandpa Guiyu or Grandma Huanyan, the two elderly people in Zhaoye Liuque who used to have high IQs have officially gone offline, completely dispelling their doubts about Shiiki Ruri, which allows Shiiki Ruri to successfully participate in the next selection of the chief hall master.

Once Shiiki Ruri secures his position as the chief leader of the Zhaoye Ryuque clan, Jiang Ran can prepare to set off to meet the Antu clan.

Jiang Ran's only loss this time was his vest "Frost Knight Stan".

In order to help Shiiki Ruri clear suspicion, he could only put all the blame on this vest.

However, the loss of "Frost Knight Stan" is not entirely a bad thing, because Jiang Ran can not only drag the Snake Shadow Society into the water, but also eliminate potential risks.

·

The so-called "potential risks" refer to the flaws of the vest "Frost Knight Stan".

Jiang Ran had not noticed before that the appearance of "Frost Knight Stan" and the disappearance of "Banning" happened to be correlated in time and place.

This correlation was not only discovered by Tetodav, but also figured out by Old Man Whisperer.

If Jiang Ran continues to use the identity of "Frost Knight Stan", it will eventually lead to Shiki Ruri knowing the truth. Therefore, it may not be a bad thing for Jiang Ran to let Frost Knight Stan disappear at this point in time.

As for what new identity he will use next, Jiang Ran has not yet decided.

At present, the only thing he can be sure of is that his next new identity will also be his last new identity. This new identity will have nothing to do with Banning, Fike, Lyle, and Frost Knight Stan, allowing Jiang Ran to gain true "freedom to pick up girls" in the Prison Star world.

·

"We can almost see the town, meow, Master Stan."

"Okay, I'll go back to your shadow then."

Nearing Mel Town, Jiang Ran skillfully hid in the shadow of Shiiki Ruri.

The two of them are now extremely familiar with this way of cooperation.

According to the internal process set by Zhaoye Liuque, the selection of the next head hall master will begin tonight. Shiiki Liuli returned to the town this time to have a big meal, and then take a full set of equipment to set off for the base.

10.41 - The old man's unexpected encounter

As previously mentioned, Teruya Ryuque is a "decentralized" organization.

For an organization that does not want to be wiped out by the enemy, a headquarters is naturally impossible to exist.

Since there was no real headquarters, the location of the selection of the Grand Master was different each time. This time, the location chosen by the temporary Grand Master, Guiyu, was the most dangerous yet the safest of all the bases of the Zhaoye Liuque - this place was the "Magic Weapon Research Institute Base".

·

It's called the "Magic Weapon Research Institute Base," but the people doing research here aren't from Teruya Ryuque.

In reality, the "Magical Weapons Research Institute" was directly affiliated with the royal family of the Kingdom of West and had nothing to do with Teruya Ryuque.

However, even in such an irrelevant situation, Zhao Ye Liuque, with his wild imagination, secretly opened up a secret space under the Magic Weapon Research Institute, making it one of Zhao Ye Liuque's gathering bases.

There is only one way to enter and exit this underground base, and that is to pass through the abdominal cavity of the "Millennium Cicada Monkey" and use time and space teleportation.

[Note: The Millennium Cicada Monkey is a mysterious and sealed monster. It has a tunnel in its belly that can travel across time and space. For details, see chapter "9.156 - Winding Path"].

Thanks to this secret method of entry and exit, the Magic Weapons Research Institute base has never been discovered by outsiders since its establishment. Even the researchers who are close by have not been able to detect any abnormalities in the underground of their own institute.

However, this is not the real purpose of setting up a base here. The main reason why Zhao Ye Liuque went to so much trouble to do this is to obtain information about the Magic Weapons Research Institute.

Thanks to the geographical advantage, the Zhaoye Liuque personnel hiding here can easily sneak into the Magic Weapons Research Institute and fully grasp the current top level of magic weapons in the Kingdom of West.

The value of this information is of great significance even when compared with an organization of the level of Ye Liuque.

After a quick meal and brief preparations, Shiiki Ruri and Frost Armor Knight Stan completed the final preparations before departure.

After Frost Knight Stan slipped into the shadow of Shiiki Ruri, this young cat-human girl, who shouldered multiple identities at such a young age, set out towards the location of the "Millennium Cicada Monkey."

The town of Mel, where Shiiki Ruri set out, is located in the territory of the Blue Lizard Family, and the final destination of this trip, the "Magic Weapon Research Institute Base", is located between the territories of the West Royal Family and the Scarlet Qi Family.

[Note: The above picture shows the distribution of power in the Kingdom of Wester]

If they didn't have the 'Millennium Cicada Monkey', the time they would spend on the journey would increase significantly. Moreover, if they wanted to enter the 'Magic Weapon Research Institute Base' without being discovered by outsiders, they would have to use the 'Millennium Cicada Monkey'.

Under the vast sky, the autumn wind was blowing, Shiiki Ruri was flying all the way, and after several turns, he finally arrived at the gathering place for the selection of the chief hall master.

When she arrived at the scene, some candidates for the chief hall master had already arrived. Everyone was greeting each other politely on the surface, but no one knew what they were really thinking.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the agreed time was getting closer and closer.

What surprised Shiiki Ruri was that the old man Guiyu, who was always very punctual, had not shown up this time for some reason.

——(Could it be that he encountered some trouble…?)

Shiiki Ruri couldn't help but start to worry about old man Guiyu, and then the Frost Armor Knight in the shadow complained that now is not the time to care about competitors, and it is possible that the leader of Quetang, Guiyu, is Shiiki Ruri's biggest rival this time.

·

Coincidentally, just as Shiiki Ruri worried, old man Guiyu really ran into "trouble".

However, it is still unclear whether the trouble he encountered is a blessing or a curse.

"Little girls, if you don't want to get hurt, it's still not too late to leave now."

In the canyon leading to the location of the thousand-year-old cicada monkey, Old Man Guiyu put his hands behind his back and warned the two men in black in front of him with a smile on his face.

"No one will get hurt because we won't hit you and you can't hit us."

The man in black who was standing a little closer to the front gave a very arrogant reply in a flat tone. Old Man Guiyu judged their gender and age from the sound of their voices and their graceful figures.

The story of why Mr. Guiyu was stopped has to start from ten minutes ago.

At that time, Mr. Guiyu, who was concentrating on his journey, realized that he seemed to be followed, so he took a long detour and tried to trick the follower out.

What Mr. Guiyu didn't expect was that the stalker had no intention of hiding at all. He soon appeared in front of him and said right away that he wanted him to be Tetodaf's "successor."

The moment he heard the name of the Grand Master, Old Master Guiyu immediately raised his alert level to the highest level! ...If an outsider who knew the Grand Master's name was an enemy, it would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.

However, Old Man Guiyu did not act rashly. When the situation was not clear, he would usually obtain information first and then secretly lay the groundwork and prepare for possible battles.

This time, it is no exception.

·

"Wei Yu" is not Mr. Gui Yu's name, but his code name.

The reason why the organization gave him this code name was largely because of the old man's combat profession and fighting style.

The fourth-tier combat profession, the "Word Prophet," sounds very mysterious. If someone has no background knowledge or experience fighting it, they probably can't imagine how the "Word Prophet" fights.

However, no matter how mysterious it is, the fighting style of the "Word Prophet" can be summarized very simply, that is, relying on "words" to fight, or to put it more simply, it is "mouth cannon".

After encountering two black-clad stalkers, Old Man Guiyu saw that the other party had no intention of starting a fight directly, so he took control of the situation at his own pace.

While talking to the other party, he quietly mixed in his "Trickster" skill, causing the other party's basic attributes to continue to decrease.

At the same time, Old Man Guiyu also figured out the other party's purpose. It turned out that the force to which the two little girls belonged had always been in a cooperative relationship with Lord Tetodaf. Now Lord Tetodaf was suspected to be dead and his whereabouts were unknown, and it happened that Zhaoye Liuque had started the election of the new chief hall master, so they came to win him over and let him continue to cooperate with the forces behind them after he came to power.

At first glance, this purpose seemed fine, but when Old Man Guiyu asked what faction they belonged to, the two girls refused to answer. Then Old Man Guiyu asked what would happen if he disagreed, and the girls told him directly and without emotion...

"If you don't agree, then you will have no choice but to die here, Master of Quetang."

10.42 - The Donkey in Guizhou is at its wit's end

——(Youth is full of vigor...)

When he heard that the other party wanted him to die here, Old Man Guiyu was not angry at all, he just wanted to sigh deeply.

If it were the young Guiyu from sixty or seventy years ago, if he encountered such an arrogant opponent, no matter whether he could beat him or not, he would definitely not admit defeat.

But now, he was thinking: Since the other party has the courage to say this, and is targeting me, then they must be prepared and have some confidence, right? In this situation where the enemy is hidden and I am in the open, it is best to first ask questions and find out the situation before making a decision.

The psychological activities of Mr. Guiyu are undoubtedly the best embodiment of the saying "old people tend to give in easily".

To put it in a nicer way, we can also say that the elderly think things more carefully and know how to think twice before acting - the art of language is so magical.

·

"I understand everything you said. Before I make a decision, I want to ask you a question. Can I think about it for a few days and then give you an answer?"

Old man Guiyu deliberately asked a naive question. He wanted to use this to disrupt the rhythm of the two black-clothed and masked girls and buy himself some time.

As a result, the masked girl in black immediately gave a decisive answer, preventing the old man from getting what he wanted.

"No, you have to answer us now."

Looking at these two determined girls in black, Old Man Guiyu gradually developed a premonition.
