Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Theresa Moon Stargazing...

No wonder the supplies were unusable at the beginning.

It turns out that the content that can be drawn is determined by the accompanying talent that is drawn.

Upon closer reflection, if I had stronger mental power, I could control both myself and the puppet.

Doesn't it feel a bit like a Stand user?

"Crash..."

As was her habit, Ziyao went to the restroom before drawing a card. After washing her hands, the girl took a deep breath.

—The time to witness your luck has come.

My turn, draw a card!

Press the button, and a giant Houmu box falls from the sky.

After the light faded, a thermometer fell into Ziyao's hand.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Favorability Detector! (Fully Automatic Version, Quality: Purple)]

What the hell is this?

You don't even need to click on it; it's automatically equipped in the status bar.

Looking at the raven sitting next to him, he instantly detected the other's condition with a thought.

Book 1: Chapter 22 Paradise, Snake's View

"It feels pretty good."

In the World Snake Laboratory, Aura's assistant examines her reflection in the mirror.

Sometimes he would turn his hands, sometimes he would move his feet.

A timer was placed next to it, showing that five minutes had passed.

She lifted her skirt, and what she saw inside disappointed her somewhat.

Tsk, safety shorts are a bad thing.

Before her mental energy was exhausted, Ziyao manipulated Aura's body to put on the jackal's white coat.

"So sleepy... What's wrong with me?"

The girl held her forehead, her head feeling dizzy.

She only remembered being startled by Lord Nightingale in the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, she was in the laboratory.

"Ora, you're getting bolder and bolder. Why are you dressed as a jackal?"

"Eh?!"

After being reminded by Ziyao, Aura immediately realized the trouble she was in.

She quickly took it off and smoothed out all the wrinkles on her clothes to avoid being discovered.

"Hey, where is the person?"

When she turned around, Ziyao was already gone.

"Identity verification complete. Welcome, Lady Nightingale—"

A cold, mechanical voice sounded as the girl took the elevator all the way to the very bottom of the World Serpent.

This is where the eternal paradise is kept, and security is extremely tight.

Not long ago, in order to test the ability of [Listening Heart], Ziyao deliberately startled Jackal's assistant.

I thought it would be much more difficult, but I didn't expect it to be done so easily.

How terrified of herself must she be?

In order for 'Listening to the Heart' to control others, one of the following conditions must be met:

1. They are open-minded and trusting of the person controlling them.

2. The mind experiences intense fluctuations.

3. Mental strength is greater than the opponent's.

Controlling someone else's body... well, the experience is weird.

Perhaps because Aura's assistant was born with poor nutrition, the feeling of lightness in her chest made Ziyao feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"drop----"

After the piercing warning sound, my vision blurred.

When the clear sky cleared, Ziyao was already in the conference room of Paradise.

Hi~ Long time no see.

"You look even prettier today than last time. This dress is so beautiful. I wish Eden could make one for me too."

Alicia sat on her favorite sofa, just like every other day.

The warm orange light added a touch of mystery to the pink fairy.

"Alicia, do we know each other?"

"I'm so sad. You're also Yingjie, how can you say such distant things?"

.....

Alicia knew perfectly well that she wasn't.

"Thank you."

Ziyao expressed her gratitude, saying that she was very grateful for Ziyao's help in getting her out of that predicament.

"You're welcome. It's normal for cute girls to help each other out~"

"As far as I know, you say that to every girl."

"You're the only special one, Ziyao. Let me think... um... like the chicken leg that's saved for last?"

Alicia never hides her inner feelings; her interests and intentions are very easy to understand and pure.

Even without guessing, she would say it herself.

“That’s very much your style, but Alicia, I’ve never heard of you being a picky eater.”

"Hmph, even so, it's probably better to save your favorite food for last, right?"

Looks like I'm the appetizer.

Alicia cares about you and considers you a special person. Affection level: 81

When the door to the makeshift laboratory was opened, Möbius was not inside.

"What do you need Mebius for? She should be in her laboratory deep within Paradise."

"I have some doubts."

"That's a problem, it's very troublesome to go there."

"What should I do? What should I do..."

Alicia, who was familiar with Paradise, said this deliberately, practically writing "Ask me now" on her face.

“…”

There is really nothing to do with her.

With a sigh, Ziyao asked.

"Alicia, if changing the past means losing the future you know, what will you choose?"

She has been thinking about this ever since yesterday's events ended.

A video that went viral online exposed him, making him the target of public criticism.

It's likely that both Destiny and Anti-Entropy are searching the world for her with her photo.

What kind of "staying behind the scenes" is this? They're lucky if they can even protect themselves.

She was supposed to be the deeply hidden mastermind, but she was forced to make a choice.

Similar videos or similar incidents may occur again.

She only had two paths before her.

First, quickly level up and latch onto powerful figures to join the female lead group.

Second, continue to lie low and accumulate experience, gradually becoming stronger.

The former is aggressive and has high expected returns, but she will lose the ability to predict the future.

The latter seems like a safe bet, but the actual plot has already begun to change drastically.

Perhaps... even without being revealed, the plot is no longer what she knew.

In visual novels, not only do the heroines have bad endings, but the protagonists also suffer greatly.

Traps, backstabbings, shootings...

The worst case scenario is getting hit by a car and dying as soon as you step outside, then you get a "Bad Luck" trophy.

Ziyao doesn't think she's particularly smart; she believes that brainstorming is much better than working in isolation.

"It's a really complicated problem."

After listening, Alicia looked up at the chandelier and pondered for a moment.

"Everyone has regrets and things they regret, and they want to make up for them and change them."

"Including me, every hero has one."

"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely change those things and then continue down the same path, right?"

Alicia guessed.
