Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

The commotion just now was quite loud; I'm afraid it won't be long before this place is packed with people.

"Xiao Shi, deal with them."

"Come here."

Xiao Shi followed the instructions diligently, and then Zi Yao gave her a piece of candy.

Under the power of the Law of Knowledge, the other party felt his knees sink and his body uncontrollably knelt down.

They wanted to stand up and resist, but were powerless and couldn't even make a sound.

"You all seem to know how to get in."

A nauseating, fishy smell filled the air, and Ziyao had no mood for interrogation.

"Just extract the memories directly."

She said to Xiao Shi.

"Extract...extract memories?"

"has a problem?"

"It seems you don't consider Xiao Shi a Lawyer at all," Zi Yao asked in return.

Rita couldn't help but take a half step back, her eyes serious.

She had to be fully prepared even for a single tentative question, yet the young girl commanded Xiao Shi with ease.

As expected of Miss Zi....

"Ahem... It's no big deal."

It's just that... it seems like you're much worse than me?

Xiao Shi muttered to himself.

After receiving the answer, Ziyao seemed to be deep in thought.

"I see, this is troublesome."

The special Honkai crystals in the hearts of the assassins are the entry tickets, but that's just a qualification.

You must obtain 'approval' and have an admission ticket to enter the inner city.

"Gaining approval? Whose approval?"

Xiao Shi said unhappily, "Why is it so complicated?"

If the person who set the rules is right in front of her, she'll definitely give them a good beating.

"So you should just leave. There's no point in staying any longer."

Ottori appeared.

Just as Rita had expected, she was active in the nearby area.

Hearing the commotion, of course I had to come and take a look.

Guided by her intuition, Rita quietly glanced around and saw Durandal standing in a corner.

"What are you doing here, beggar girl?"

"Who's the beggar? Don't talk nonsense!"

"I remember that people who do live streaming on the street are all beggars, aren't they?"

Xiao Shi tapped his chin lightly with his finger and asked in confusion.

"This is prejudice, prejudice!"

The emotional imitation was so convincing that even Rita wouldn't have recognized her as the Bishop of Destiny if she hadn't known her true identity beforehand.

"You know quite a lot."

Ziyao revealed a cunning smile, and Theresa immediately knew that someone was about to suffer.

"Xiao Shi, get her a set meal."

Asking questions is too troublesome; reading memories is much more convenient. Without even thinking, Ziyao chose path dependency.

Unfortunately, nothing could be gleaned from Otori.

"That's strange, why is that?"

Xiao Shi wondered to himself, "Did I not sleep well last night? Why is it not working on Ottoli?"

"There are still four days until God's descent. You are new here and will definitely not make it in time."

"Leaving here will prevent us from getting into danger."

Otori offered a seemingly kind reminder.

The assassins whispered among themselves; the commotion had attracted not only Otto but also many other people.

By observing the line of sight, Ziyao discovered that several members of the World Serpent were watching her.

"Excuse me, Miss Ottori, are you permitted to enter?"

Ottoli shook her head, indicating that she didn't either.

Ziyao clapped her hands, "It's okay, this is a good thing."

"Eh?"

Otori was stunned. What was there to be happy about?

"I don't have any, and neither do any of the people here."

"To target blue ocean markets, we should deeply explore their potential, be demand-driven, empower change mobilization methods, take a high-level perspective, and launch a series of combined measures to address industry pain points."

? ?

What?

Even the bishop, a man of riddles, was momentarily at a disadvantage when faced with Ziyao's influence from the internet, a traditionalist, and couldn't understand what she was saying.

It felt like it made some sense, but I was still confused and it didn't explain anything clearly.

"Um... could you explain it in simpler terms?"

"Hmm... In other words, since there's no clear path for us, why not unite and create a new one?"

The girl covered her face and smiled, but the depth in her eyes made Ottori feel a little uneasy.

Volume 1: Chapter 277 The Great Deceiver (Part 1)

The next day, noon.

The sun was shining brightly, and the heat was unbearable.

"Please allow Rita to apologize. Last night, I failed to perform my duties and instead accompanied them to the Great Hollow."

In the abandoned house, Rita bowed to express her apology.

He was supposed to stop Miss Zi and her group, but he was told they were confused and ended up acting as their bodyguard.

Not only that, but he also left the bishop alone and accompanied them back to the hotel.

After a night of calm reflection, she realized that she had neither the need nor the obligation to help.

Regardless of Theresa's past relationship or the influence of her illusions.

Before that, the task comes first.

"It seems you really care about that."

Otori flipped through the book in her hands without even looking up. The book recorded and described how the local religion was so strong that it permeated every aspect of the residents' lives, to the point of being blind and fanatical.

"Do you think that's real, even the video from a year ago?"

"Parallel worlds, or a shift in possibilities? No, I didn't think this through. I shouldn't have asked you such a complicated question. Let's put it another way: Do you like Izumi Shiro?"

The girl placed her hands on her lap and asked with a smile.

"Cough, cough...!"

Rita nearly choked to death.

"Your Excellency, please do not interfere too much; this is Rita's matter."

Rita said with dissatisfaction, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

I wouldn't say I like her, but from an outsider's perspective, you should try to avoid women like her.

"That's good. Make sure to stop them from going in. Let's put last night behind us."

Ottori's stance was firm: she had to stop Ziyao and her group to prevent interference with her plans.

"You need to figure out the right balance yourself. By the way, it's not good to make things too tense."

After all, we'll need to invite them to be our consultants at Destiny later, and it would be terrible if things turned sour.

Rita sighed, "It's a real dilemma."

Right now, it's more important to prevent them from entering the inner city.

It's only natural to be hostile, or even disliked.

For some reason, she had a sense of unease that once she made a mistake, it would be difficult to make amends.

Why is this?

It's unclear, the way is unclear.

Only the complex emotions dissolved in the doubt.

"Thank you for your hard work. I believe in your abilities."

Ottoli said with satisfaction, "She truly is the most reliable Valkyrie under my command."

"Knock knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door.

Before Otori could respond, the person pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lady Li Sushang? What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
