Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Both are Herrschers, yet they are able to wield Herrscher power and stand on the side of humanity.

Given Fu Hua's talent and temperament, the Honkai invasion should have had a much weaker effect on her.

Theresa believed that after living for so many years, she had the ability to judge people.

From the day Fu Hua enrolled, she sensed that Fu Hua was not simple and was not like an ordinary student.

"According to Lady Theresa, the Herrscher is still in the first stage and has not yet escaped the control of the Honkai."

Rita poured cold water on the idea, saying that even if it really was Fu Hua herself, she was now the embodiment of the Honkai.

Between them, there is only fighting; they can no longer sit down and talk like friends.

Beside the girls lay the corpses of several assassins who had killed each other, their blood staining the floor in large patches.

"Thank you. I believe Hua has the ability to protect me."

"After all these years, you've finally figured it out! This dress suits you perfectly."

As a "bad girl," having a sweet tongue is a must.

Hearing Fu Hua repeatedly say that she was different from 'before', Zi Yao suddenly had an idea.

In the realm of consciousness, the real Fu Hua has always been an observer.

She couldn't tell Ziyao where she was, nor could she escape the Law of Consciousness; only the Lawbringers could hear her voice.

The other person mistook her for the real Fu Hua and believed that she was the fake one.

"Are Kiana and the others alright? I've eliminated Otto, so you don't have to hide your identities anymore."

After just a few words of praise, Fu Hua became so happy that she almost forgot herself, as if other people's recognition was very important in this matter.

"Hey, you old fogey, did you hear me? Can't you just disappear like a ghost?"

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't be harmed at all, Fu Hua would have wanted to find the owner of the voice in her mind and beat him up right now.

You are not me, you are just... never mind, if you can prove you are me, I'm willing to stop bothering you.

"Huh? Why do I have to prove I'm myself? To withdraw money from a bank?"

The girl suddenly started talking to herself. Ziyao quietly equipped herself with the shrine maiden's amulet and listened carefully to what she was saying.

Judging from the situation, it seems that Fu Hua has two personalities.

Antique? Counterfeit? To prove myself?

Ziyao had a new guess, and she asked with feigned concern, "Are you hallucinating, Hua?"

"Maybe, there's some imposter chattering in my head."

Fu Hua put her hands on her hips and said with dissatisfaction.

Do you think I am Fu Hua?

"It's genuine, just a little different from before."

"Of course! I don't want to look like an old relic. I'm not the same person I used to be."

Both his strength and spirit have returned to their peak condition.

"why?"

Upon closer inspection, the Herrscher in front of him looked a bit like a child, with an inexplicable sense of obsession with proving himself.

Ziyao asked with more confidence now.

"Looking back, I realize that I was too stubborn and conservative. I was always hesitant and overthinking things, and I was bound by a bunch of rules and regulations."

"I did nothing wrong, yet I suffered so much. It's all because I was too soft-hearted and too kind."

Fu Hua puffed out her cheeks, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"So you want to turn over a new leaf and start anew?"

puff---

Not only the real Fu Hua, but the girls hiding in the shadows almost couldn't hold back either. These words were clearly meant for the criminals, weren't they?

"wrong."

"Before that, I need to make this old fogey admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Fu Hua clenched his fists, determined to attain the Dao.

As she spoke, she used her powers on Ziyao, wanting her to help her.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

To Fu Hua's surprise, Zi Yao rejected her.

"How could it be...not working?"

Focus your attention on speaking, and subtly change the listener's perception, making them submit to you.

Using this trick, she traveled all the way from Europe to here without spending a single penny.

Rather than spending time persuading or asking, she felt that 'hinting' was more convenient. After all, since they were both outstanding, what was wrong with helping each other out?

"Ziyao, I need your help. I need to break down the old antique's defenses."

This time she increased the dosage, placing her hands on the girl's slender shoulders.

In the shadows, Theresa tried to run out to stop Ziyao from being controlled, but was stopped by Rita.

"..."

Ziyao pretended to be in a daze, then stammered, "Um, I understand."

Oh no, I should have picked up a feather...

In the space of consciousness, the real Fu Hua sighed and said, "I originally thought Zi Yao had some plan or backup plan, but I didn't expect that the other party hadn't prepared any plan at all."

"My aunt has been controlled...?"

"It seems so, but it's just a simple change in perception, letting Miss Zi help her."

Rita breathed a sigh of relief. If her consciousness had been altered, she would have lost her sense of self, which would have been a real problem.

The girl stammered in agreement, and then the next second, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Fu Hua on the cheek.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!"

Feeling the wetness on her face, Fu Hua was startled. She was about to step back when the girl grabbed her hands.

"I will definitely help you, Hua. You are a very important person to me."

"I know, please let go first, I'm not used to it."

Realizing that this was the bitter fruit of her own actions, Fu Hua felt conflicted and retreated repeatedly.

"Since Hua has also changed himself, then I will teach you."

Do you have any ideas?

Upon hearing the girl's words, she immediately perked up.

"I have some nice ones in my room. How about I teach you how to 'log in'?"

Faced with the unknown, Fu Hua was curious, but actually didn't really want to agree.

But after hearing the girl's next words, she immediately changed her mind.

"—This is something Hua would never have done before."

Volume 1: Chapter 266 Rita is about to accelerate!

Instructing lawyers on how to conduct themselves?

Rita could hardly believe her ears. Had Ziyao really been given a 'hint'?

Recalling the girl's usual behavior, she never did anything without being sure of success.

Perhaps this was also part of her plan.

Rita wasn't sure if her guess was correct.

Because she didn't understand the girl, they were just strangers who met by chance, and most of the time they were in a hostile relationship.

Even so, the other party not only did not treat her with hostility, but also treated her normally, as if she were a friend, which made her feel relieved, but also a little guilty.

If they weren't adversaries, she would definitely have formed a good friendship with the girl.

..

The sky slowly brightened.

From the dim light to sunrise, only ten minutes had passed.

Rita hurriedly checked the time; only five hours had passed since night began, which was clearly not right.

The surrounding scenery gradually returned to normal, disappearing along with the corpses on the ground.

From the fiery hell, he returned to the human world once more.

Everything exuded an eerie and bizarre atmosphere; this land no longer seemed to be human territory, but rather a crumbling forbidden zone.

It has only been a week since it was occupied, and it has become like this, which makes people sigh.

The residents here reveal their true nature beneath their appearance every night—they are undead beings corrupted by the Honkai.

What's unique is that they possess self-awareness and call it a gift from God, which is truly baffling.

"What did you promise the Herrscher just now? Are you sure it's okay?"

As soon as Ziyao returned, Theresa went up to her and asked with concern.

“That’s Fu Hua. I want to help her change herself.”

"No, it's the Lawgiver."

Rita said seriously, "This is not something to joke about."

Both the damaged airport and the scenes she encountered in her dream told her that this herald was extremely dangerous.

Even if it hasn't shown any harm yet, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

“Those involved are often blinded, Rita, please remember my words.”
