Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

The staff pointed out that judging from the brand-new epaulets on his shoulders, he must have just arrived.

Upon entering the suburbs, there were neither Honkai Beasts nor assassins on the main streets.

It's hard to imagine that this place has been taken over by the Honkai.

"Dr. Tesla, is there something wrong with the intelligence? It says that people are killing each other, like hell."

"Isn't this too far removed from reality?"

At the very least, shouldn't we at least create some disturbance to show our discontent?

The harmonious and joyful scene made Theresa wonder if she had come to the wrong place.

But she immediately changed her mind.

A van sped past the drainage ditch by the roadside, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ziyao, who was standing next to her just a second ago, was pulled into a car and abducted.

Ah? ? ?

Volume 1: Chapter 161 Yao Has Been Arrested (Part 2)

We arrived safely in the Middle East at noon.

Following the mission instructions, they first entered the first city.

The order in which the Honkai was conquered seems to be carefully planned.

First, they captured Jerusalem, the holy city at the center, and then expanded in five directions, forming a pentagram shape, like sentinels guarding the heart.

Where is Otto?

"His Excellency the Bishop secretly infiltrated ahead of us. If necessary, he will secretly contact us."

"Why go through all this trouble when you can just make a phone call?"

"You're very up-to-date with current events."

Rita smiled and said, "The bishop is worried that communications will be intercepted by the World Serpent, and... this place is very strange."

"It's perfectly normal."

Li Sushang looked around and saw that the street was bustling with traffic and people.

"It is precisely because it is normal that it is strange."

"Even Destiny doesn't know the specifics, and the Valkyrie in charge of the investigation hasn't responded since she came in."

"Since you have internet access, you must know that someone is spreading rumors."

—Willing to shelter those who are irredeemably sinful, those who are struggling financially, the disabled, the terminally ill, the elderly...

Arrive in the holy city, offer a prayer, and convey it to the gods.

At that time, even the most twisted wishes will become reality.

"Will anyone actually believe that?"

Li Sushang's lips twitched. This was too ridiculous. If fulfilling wishes were possible, the world wouldn't be in this mess.

"As you might expect, most people are just watching for fun."

Rita changed the subject and looked out of the city.

"But the locals don't think so. Everyone rushes to the vicinity of the Holy City, and even if Destiny intervenes, it's useless."

The five cities outside were almost all packed with people, and every hotel was fully booked.

"That's enough about the city; we know too little."

"Back to the Lawrence, since its abilities are related to cognition, let's call it the Lawrence of Cognition for now."

Their goal is not to investigate, but to monitor and track down the Lawgivers of Knowledge.

Durandal is responsible for carrying out secret missions, along with Otto.

"She looks exactly like your teacher. Do you have any clues?"

Li Sushang shook her head, "It's Grandmaster, but never mind, that's not a bad way to address him."

“She is someone I respect very much. In China, there is a saying that one should serve one’s teacher as an elder. In your words, she would be like family.”

"If my master is a Herrscher, I will try to help her return to normal. If she is just a Herrscher, I will kill her."

She spoke seriously, her words coming from the bottom of her heart.

"Rita doesn't mean to belittle your strength, it's just... cough cough, why don't you investigate the surrounding area and look for Theresa and her group?"

"And then you bring that frail girl back, right?"

"Hmm, I remember her name was 'Purple'. How many names does she have?"

"...Yes, thank you."

Rita said embarrassedly that she actually just wanted Li Sushang to check on the situation.

However, one of the tasks is to keep Ziyao, so why not let Li Sushang give it a try?

"Leave it to me. Since she's your bride, I'll be more careful."

"You've misunderstood, that's not true."

Rita spoke each word clearly, her voice turning icy.

"Hmm, I'll leave the task of monitoring the Herrscher to you, maid."

Li Sushang turned around gracefully, raising a fragrant breeze as she walked quickly and powerfully.

Once on the street, she glanced at the end of the street.

Grandmaster Chi Ying, the person my master mentioned countless times, all the skills I have learned came from this person.

Sadly, her relationship with her master was only fleeting.

She had always wanted to meet this grandmaster who symbolized the pinnacle of martial arts, to see if she was as cold-hearted and detached from worldly affairs as she had imagined.

According to Rita, her master and her mission target had a very good relationship. So, it turns out that such a person could also be a close friend?

A mixture of admiration and respect, tinged with a touch of curiosity.

Unfortunately, according to the plan, they had to hide in the shadows.

Li Sushang wandered aimlessly through the streets for several hours, but found no clues.

Moreover, there were still four cities to visit, but she only managed to visit one after a whole day's journey.

After Rita reminded her, she went to the junkyard and got a van.

After the learning costs of destroying two walls were eliminated, these two poor, dilapidated cars were driven onto the road.

Around four o'clock, Li Sushang returned to the vicinity of the main gate empty-handed.

Suddenly, she noticed six girls gathered near the tollbooth, seemingly new to the area and unsure of where to go.

Among them, she spotted her target—the dark-haired girl who was resting with her eyes closed.

Everyone else was wearing Valkyrie armor, but she was only wearing ordinary casual clothes.

A brilliant idea popped into her head, and she slammed on the gas pedal.

As he passed by the girls, he kicked open the car door, reached out and grabbed Ziyao, then tossed her into the back seat.

A tremendous surge of acceleration swept through, kicking up dust, and the van van vanished in a flash, leaving the girls staring at each other in disbelief.

? ? ?

Kidnapping someone in broad daylight? Seriously?

I just said the city wasn't chaotic at all, and then I immediately made a jinx, setting a flag that would be set in an instant.

"Calm down, let the headmaster go after him."

Bronya stopped Kiana from using her Herrscher powers.

"Isn't this too arrogant?"

Watching Theresa chase after him, Tesla couldn't hold back any longer. He clenched his fists, furious that she dared to snatch someone away right in front of them.

the other side.

Inside the speeding van, Ziyao looked around blankly, the familiar scene making her feel somewhat dazed.

She was kidnapped, and she's a busty beauty.

Unlike before, this time she wasn't put into a bag.

"Let me first introduce myself. I am Li Sushang, a person of no particular origin or place of residence, a wandering soul."

Upon hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar name, and glancing at the Destiny Inscription on her chest, Ziyao instantly remembered.

She straightened herself up in the leather chair, smoothed her long dress, and tidied her messy hair.

Li Sushang saw the girl being abducted through the rearview mirror, yet she remained so calm as she tidied herself up, which made her think more highly of the girl.

"Why not capture the Herrscher of the Void?"

The girl spoke out.

"I can't beat him."

“…”

The saying "pick the softest persimmon" is absolutely true.

But do I really look that soft?

Tesla is clearly the weakest unit in terms of combat power.

"I was ordered to arrest you by my superiors. Well, just stay put, I won't hurt you."

Li Sushang floored the accelerator, trying to shake off Theresa, whose speed was like that of a monster, and offered Ziyao some comfort.

Although Rita had instructed me to be polite, given the situation, the other party certainly didn't want to be taken back, so I had to be a bit firm.

"Li Sushang, do you know what mistake you made?"

"Those who forcibly abduct women shall be subject to corvée labor according to the law."
