Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"Bronya, this hairstyle is really cute."

"Sister Lisa, my name is Nia now, please don't mispronounce it."

"Sorry, sorry, but I really think that twin tails suit Nia surprisingly well."

Yuehai Railway Station.

Two young girls accompanied a young man as he walked off the platform, surrounded by people coming and going.

"Mei, we're here. Huh? Are you spacing out?"

Is Kiana really here?

Leaving the warm carriage, the outside air was bone-chillingly cold, and the stark contrast between day and night made many people pull their clothes tighter and shiver.

Mei exhaled a puff of white mist and asked.

"Intelligence indicates that Rita left Schicksal at 8:00 AM this morning and secretly arrived here."

“She’s been tracking Kiana for the past two weeks, and she even went to Changkong City the day before yesterday… Our plan was correct.”

'Instead of always following in the footsteps of destiny, it's better to navigate it step by step, only needing to be a little faster than them at crucial moments.'

So they disguised their identities and appearances and followed them all the way here.

Bronya disguises herself as a naive, gray-haired girl, while she is her older sister.

To avoid arousing suspicion from Destiny, Mei pretends to be their brother.

The technology of anti-entropy is indeed very useful; it can even change a person's appearance and voice through simulated projection.

Unfortunately, it cannot change height.

"Nia, have you found out who turned on the computer the day before yesterday?"

A day earlier, they had followed the trail all the way to Changkong City in search of clues.

In Ziyao's old house, they encountered the mysterious World Serpent, which lured them away. Upon returning, they discovered that the photo album had disappeared and the computer, which should have been locked, had been unlocked.

At the same time, Judah's oath once again tracked Kiana's presence, and it was very strong.

After careful confirmation, it was discovered that the person was actually in this room, and had just left.

"There are only my and Ziyao's fingerprints on it..."

Bronya shook her head; the person who turned on the computer was probably wearing gloves.

"Is there a possibility that..."

Mei placed her hands on Bronya's shoulders, and through her eyes, one could see the inner turmoil and distress she felt.

Hope has become a tormenting thing at this time.

Vague and uncertain, unclear and indistinct.

How ridiculous it sounds to search for someone who has been confirmed dead and is buried in a cemetery.

"Mei-neechan, I understand how you feel."

Bronya said softly, turning the tables and taking Mei's hand in return.

"But that's Ziyao's room, so it's perfectly normal to have her fingerprints there. Maybe Kiana just happens to know the computer password."

"......"

"Ahem, let's go track down Rita's whereabouts first."

Theresa spoke up to break the silence; she didn't want everyone to wear sad expressions.

She is no longer the granddaughter of the bishop and the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, but an ordinary Valkyrie officer.

This identity will make things much easier in Moonsea City.

..

"Go back to where you came from, we have no interest in your deal."

After glancing at the list, the heavily made-up female manager casually tossed it onto the table.

Ziyao and the other girl were left standing there for a long time.

Almost half an hour passed before she finally had a moment to look at it and rejected it without even thinking about it.

Even when Ziyao showed her her business card, the other person didn't seem inclined to look at her properly.

"We're willing to pay double the price..."

The budget is ample, so it doesn't matter if the price increases.

The Honkai's influence on Kiana is intensifying; we must act quickly.

"You just say no and that's it? Can't you hear me?"

The female manager frowned and gestured to the security personnel next to her.

"Excuse me, ladies, please leave here."

In order to keep his job, the security guard reluctantly approached and asked Ziyao and her companion to leave.

So they were invited outside onto the snow.

They stayed there for half a day, but returned empty-handed.

"What a lack of professionalism! Can just anyone become a manager at this company?"

Kiana crossed her arms and said indignantly.

She wasn't bothered by being treated this way, but seeing Ziyao being ignored and rejected made her feel annoyed.

“Lister Corporation... they have a partnership with Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, I need to contact Raven.”

She opened her messaging app; Raven had sent her quite a few messages that morning.

Basically, the gray snake was pressing for an answer about where 'Mebius' had gone, and the raven didn't know how to answer, so it could only give a perfunctory reply.

You can't exactly say that Dr. Mebius ran off with the 500,000 dollars, can you?

If Gray Serpent is determined to investigate in Paradise, Ziyao's lies will fall apart on their own.

Lister Pharmaceuticals... I don't know, you should ask Jackal.

By the way, after she got Kiana's hair, she's been glued to the lab and we can't contact her at all.

[Ziyao: .......]

The World Snake is unreliable.

Gray Snake reduced her real power, and sure enough, she was no longer easy to fool after contacting Kevin.

To think that one can rely on the World Serpent's help now is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Ziyao sighed, pondering how to obtain the materials.

"Kiana, want to try breaking in?"

"Huh? An open door?"

"Breaking into an empty house" is local slang in China. Of course, money will still be paid, and the amount will be as mentioned earlier.

"Hello, excuse me, is this Lister Pharmaceuticals?"

As they were talking, a young girl came up to them, carrying a handbag in both hands.

Kiana pointed her in the right direction, while Ziyao kept her eyes fixed on the other woman.

Why are you staring at me...?

She noticed the meticulous gaze and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"It's just ahead, walk forward fifty meters and you'll get there."

The girl bowed in thanks, as Kiana had shown her the way, and then turned and walked toward the corporate building.

Ziyao called out to her, "Miss Anna Shaniat?"

"Do we know each other...?"

Looking at Ziyao, she tried hard to search for relevant memories, but couldn't find a single clue.

"My sister is also a Valkyrie."

"You mentioned yourself, saying you're a very powerful Valkyrie."

"I didn't expect someone so young to become the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad..."

Ziyao flattered, "The first step is to get close to them."

Anna Schariac, the Herrscher of Ice.

No, she's just an ordinary Valkyrie right now.

In Gal, she is not necessarily destined to become a law; it depends on the choices made.

"You flatter me. I'm just... The captain has to go home to take care of his family."

Upon realizing that the other person is the one destined for you, the sense of distance immediately diminishes.

Anna naturally relaxed her guard and, feeling embarrassed by the compliment, said...

"Has Anna been unemployed lately? What brings her here?"

“I carried out a special mission with the old troops a few days ago. The bishop is on vacation, so I came here to visit some friends. Oh, and Valkyrie and Lady Rita came with me.”

"Is she also visiting a friend?"

"Lady Rita didn't say, it seems she has some mission to attend to, so I don't dare to ask."

Volume 1: Chapter 147 Making a Good First Impression

"Get medicine? Shouldn't we go to the hospital? Why are we at a pharmaceutical company?"

After hearing Anna's purpose for coming, Kiana asked in confusion.

"No, no, no, it's my friend, she's very sick right now..."

With their concern, Anna briefly explained the situation again.
