After three busy days, Shiiki Ruri was able to return to her residence and sleep before midnight for the first time in a long time.

Perhaps because she was too tired, she even forgot that the Frost Armor Knight was still in her shadow. She took off her clothes and went to take a shower and go to bed.

(Frostmail Knight Stan: Cough... cough cough cough...)

Shiiki Ruri: “Nyan…?”

……

"Eh?"

……

"what?"

……

No one knew what magical skills Shiiki Ruri used at that moment. She actually exceeded her own limits and put on her clothes again in the blink of an eye at a speed far beyond what a fourth-level combat professional could achieve.

Then, he and the Frost Armor Knight in the shadows worked together in perfect harmony to pretend nothing had happened.

(Frostmail Knight Stan: There are so many stars tonight.)

Shiiki Ruri: "Yes... yes... meow..."

No one knows how these two people saw the stars on the cloudy night because it doesn't matter.

What's important is whether Frost Knight Stan saw it, what he saw, and whether he saw it clearly - sorry for the mistake, the important thing is why Shiiki Ruri was about to go back to sleep, but Frost Knight Stan was still lingering in her shadow.

Frost Knight Stan actually has legitimate reasons.

He had already made an appointment with Shiiki Ruri that after finishing the meeting with Old Man Guiyu, the two of them would discuss the important matters alone.

Regarding the so-called "truth" jointly sorted out by Shiiki Ruri and Mr. Guiyu, I believe that all the smart readers have already seen the trick.

It's a trick, it's really a trick, because there is something fishy going on there that was done by the cat-man girl Shiiki Ruri.

Under the instruction and arrangement of the Frost Knight Stan, some forged information had been mixed into the documents in the secret base of the former Grand Master Tetodaf before they were thoroughly investigated by Old Man Whisper.

In order to consider the overall situation, Shiiki Ruri did not insist on exposing Tetodaf's evil deeds, but cooperated with the layout of Lord Frost Armor Knight and made full use of the dead Tetodaf, making the Dark Rabbit Clan and the Snake Shadow Society naturally become the main enemies of Teruya Ryuque.

In addition, Frost Knight Stan has another important arrangement, which is to make himself the enemy of Teruya Ryujaku in order to clear Shiiki Ruri of suspicion.

Shiiki Ruri initially disagreed with this approach, thinking that Lord Frost Armor Knight's sacrifice was too great, but in the end she was moved by Lord Frost Armor Knight's selflessness and agreed to this arrangement. She also promised Lord Frost Armor Knight that when everything was over, she would use her authority as the head hall master to give Lord Frost Armor Knight justice.

"Boss Liuli, there should only be one 'blank' left now."

In the inn room, the Frost Knight Stan emerged from the shadows and was discussing what to do next with the cat-man girl Shiiki Ruri.

The tall Frost Armor Knight Stan stood with his back against the wall, while Shiiki Ruri leaned over the windowsill, talking to him while looking at the night outside.

"Yes, meow. Grandpa Guiyu is still wondering who saved him that night. He has sent people to investigate for two days but still has no clues."

"He can only let this matter fade away on his own. It happened so suddenly that night, and there's no way to make it perfect."

Frost Knight Stan said that this level of flaw was acceptable. After all, if he didn't take action, Mr. Whisper would definitely die.

For Shiiki Ruri, "whether there is an old man with strange words" is a very important matter, because with the qualifications and reputation of this cat-man girl, it is really difficult to completely control Teruya Ryuque.

If there was old man Guiyu assisting, the situation would be different. Most people in the organization respect and recognize this old senior.

It is no exaggeration to say that most people will never meet an old man like Mr. Guiyu who does not fight for power and works wholeheartedly for the organization, even if they use up all their luck in their entire lives.

"With Master Guiyu helping you, I can feel more at ease."

When Lord Frost Armor Knight said this, Shiiki Ruri's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sudden sense of weightlessness as if she had stepped on empty air.

Being clever and resourceful, she immediately realized that the Frost Armor Knight's words meant to be a farewell to her.

"Are you leaving soon... Lord Stan?" Shiiki Ruri asked calmly, suppressing her reluctance.

"Yes, this selection of the chief hall master took longer than I expected. I have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Hearing the Frost Armor Knight's answer, Shiiki Ruri felt even more upset.

She finally met a good man who was as kind and reliable as Aunt Magai, but they had to part ways so soon.

"Ah... so anxious, meow... then how about I accompany you, meow? Hahahaha~"

The flustered Shiiki Ruri didn't know how to deal with her emotions, and she could only use a dry laugh to cover up her melancholy.

The Frost Armor Knight shook his head and rationally pointed out that Shiiki Ruri was joking.

"Zhaoye Liuque needs you right now, so you have to be strong, Boss Liuli."

After hearing Lord Frost Armor Knight's objective words, Shiiki Ruri knew that it was impossible to keep him, and as Lord Frost Armor Knight said, she couldn't do the wrong thing because of momentary weakness.

——(Yeah, I have to be strong, meow. If Teruya Ruka is destroyed in my hands, how can I explain this to Aunt Magee?)

Shiiki Ruri pinched her pink face and forced herself to cheer up.

She took out a magic stone from her bag and handed it to the Frost Armor Knight.

"Take this with you, so my steel-feathered owl can deliver the letter to you."

Although we can't meet each other as we wish, it's good to at least have the thought of being able to keep in touch.

"Okay, I'll look forward to hearing from you."

"Hehe, it's probably a letter asking for help, meow."

"Don't worry, I'm leaving this time so that Zhaoye Liuque won't be in danger again."

The words of the Frost Knight were as mysterious as ever.

And Shiiki Ruri still adhered to her previous code of conduct. As long as the Frost Armor Knight did not speak on his own initiative, she would not ask.

She believed that when the time was right, this mysterious knight would tell her everything.

Before leaving, Shiiki Ruri made one last request to the Frost Armor Knight.

Before Aunt Magee had the accident, Shiiki Ruri was unable to see her for the last time. Now that the Lord Frost Armor Knight was standing before her, Shiiki Ruri didn't want to have any regrets.

"Master Stan, can I...can I hug you?"

10.68 - Farewell and Departure

Jiang Ran had no reason to refuse.

A hug can mean a lot, or nothing.

Shiiki Ruri's hug is very pure.

Although separated by a cold suit of armor, Jiang Ran could still feel the warmth of the cat-man girl.

Since coming to the Prison Star World, this is the first time that Jiang Ran has consciously not developed a relationship beyond friendship. In this regard, the helmet and armor that play a role of physical isolation can be said to have played an indispensable role.

However, it was Jiang Ran himself who truly strangled the seeds of emotion in the cradle.

(Stupid Loli: Although I lost one emotional debt, I can still repay four family debts.)

The long-awaited complaints were even more sharp, and the stupid loli's remarks hit the nail on the head.

Although Jiang Ran did not harm Shiiki Ruri's feelings, he still deceived this cat-man girl in various ways.

If he accidentally let Shiiki Ruri know the truth later, the consequences would be no less severe than the previous Shura fields.

·

After giving Shiiki Ruri a generous and appropriate hug, Jiang Ran formally said goodbye to her and set off for the secluded place of the "Dark Rabbit Clan".

Just as Shiiki Ruri and Old Man Guiyu had discussed before, now that Tetodav is dead, the An Rabbit clan has lost their contact in Teruya Ryuque, so the most likely thing they will do is to relocate the entire clan to avoid being stabbed in the back by Teruya Ryuque, their former "ally".

Yes, Jiang Ran here called Zhaoye Liuque an ally of the Dark Rabbit clan, which was exactly the opposite of the conclusion reached by Grandpa Guiyu and the others.

In fact, if Jiang Ran had not interfered, the cooperative relationship between the Dark Rabbit Clan and Zhaoye Liuque should have been able to be maintained for quite a long time.

However, Jiang Ran did not want to face the Antu clan with the support of Zhaoye Liuque behind them, so this time, by assisting Shiiki Liuli to take the position, he actually also achieved Jiang Ran's personal purpose.

As for the Snake Shadow Society, Jiang Ran has not yet discovered the relationship between the Dark Rabbit Clan and the Demon Clan.

From the perspective of secrecy, a tribe should indeed reduce its contact with external forces as much as possible, and at most only one.

However, the appearance of the "mutated chaotic insect-winged lizard" this time gave Jiang Ran some ominous premonitions.

A subhuman race that can drive and control monsters - this is different from the Dark Rabbit clan that Jiang Ran knew about.

The Dark Rabbit Clan, whose entire tribe is composed of Spellcasters, what methods did they use to make a fifth-level monster willingly work for them?

Jiang Ran investigated the scene at that time and found no trace of remote control magic. The only problem with the Zombie Insect Winged Lizard was the "parasitism" displayed in its abnormal state.

Unfortunately, the information Jiang Ran was able to identify was limited, and he was unable to figure out what was parasitizing the Sorrowful Insect-Winged Beast Lizard.

From a purely logical perspective, perhaps the Dark Rabbits have domesticated some kind of parasitic monster? Or perhaps a plant or fungus?

All in all, the danger of the Dark Rabbit Clan was heightened in Jiang Ran's mind.

〖6:28 in the morning〗

[Death Future Remaining: 17 Days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 4 days]

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 50 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

The territory of the Human Alliance, the Farnese Empire, and the territory of the werewolf clan.

When the first ray of sunshine announcing the arrival of a new day shone on the earth, the wolf king leader, Noreson Okami, had just finished an all-night mission and returned to the territory of the werewolf royal family.

For other races, staying up all night is a very tiring thing, but for the werewolves it is just the opposite. Their favorite time of day is night.

Thanks to their special body structure, werewolves can exert greater strength at night than during the day, and the rounder and brighter the moon, the more obvious their improvement.

However, there is one exception: the night of a total lunar eclipse.

When the moon that brings strength is completely swallowed by darkness, the werewolves will fall into a weak state and can only exert half of their strength during the day.

In addition, there is another thing that makes werewolves terrified on the night of the total lunar eclipse, that is, the "moon-eating monster" may descend on the werewolf territory and carry out inhumane and indiscriminate killings.

"Is 'that day' coming soon?"

The wolf king chief, Noreson, glanced at the moon that was about to disappear in the sky and felt vaguely uneasy.

If his observations and calculations were correct, the "Dark Moon Day" would soon be here.

——(I hope this time, like last time, can go by without incident...)

The Wolf King Chief prayed silently to the gods in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that the next second after he finished praying, the four ancestors of the werewolf clan appeared in front of him without any warning!

"Noreson, it seems you've noticed it too."

The Bone Ancestor Bourne stated his purpose straight out of the gate. They came specifically to remind the Wolf King to be careful about the "Day of the Black Moon".

"Just because nothing happened last time doesn't mean it will be safe this time. So, as usual, prepare for the worst-case scenario. Do you understand?"

The Bone Ancestor Bourne spoke the most pessimistic words in the most steady tone. Although this was not the first time that Wolf King Chief Noreson had heard these words, he still couldn't help but become nervous after listening to them.

"Understood, Master Ancestor, I will do my duty and make arrangements."

The Wolf King Chieftain, Noreson, knelt on one knee and bowed his head to the ancestors to show his obedience.

He actually wanted to get a promise from these ancestors, hoping that they would use all their strength to defend their race when the "moon-eating monster" appeared.

However, Noreson did not dare to do so, because he knew that this was an act of usurpation. If he angered the ancestors, it would only be bad for him and his fellow tribesmen.

Therefore, Noreson could only comfort himself by saying that the ancestors had their considerations and they would definitely make plans for the werewolf clan from a higher level.

"Keep going, Noreson. Don't let the pain of the past hold you back. As long as you're alive, you must sharpen your teeth and claws every day. This is the way of survival for us werewolves."

At the end of the conversation, Bone Ancestor Bourne gave Noreson some rare words of encouragement, and then disappeared with the other three ancestors.

Noreson could tell that it was the First Ancestor who was trying to help him get over Kenroshi's death. Frankly speaking, didn't he want to do that too?
