After all, judging from the current situation, the woman's mental state is clearly not normal.

In this state, it's not impossible that she would reveal the conditions for activating her ability without reason.

but.

Kuroro frowned:

'Saw, or observed?'

If it's the latter, then not only witnessing it, but even the character for "circle" can't be used.

'Can conditions that are so easily met really have such a powerful effect, or is this just a smokescreen...?'

If you want to know if it's a smokescreen, you have to take a gamble and test it, but you also have to bear the risk of being attacked.

Another multiple-choice question was presented to Kuroro.

To do it or not to do it?

Kuroro estimated the distance.

From where he was standing, the distance to that wall was estimated to be 20 meters. His [Circle] was only 15 meters at most, so releasing the [Circle] directly was not enough to detect the other party.

'You have to walk at least five more meters before you can see what's behind that wall...'

Kuroro thought for a moment, and suddenly a bookmark appeared on the book in his right hand.

He placed the bookmark on the page with the title "Instant Teleportation," and then controlled "The Thief's Ultimate" to automatically turn the page.

With a rustling sound, the book stopped on a certain page. This page featured a portrait of a middle-aged man, with the corresponding ability name on the left.

[Memorial Meeting for Comrades]

This was a healing ability that he had accidentally discovered before, and the original owner of the ability had, of course, been turned into an ability battery by him.

Kuroro pondered in his heart:

'This ability can ensure that others will not die from severe injuries in a short period of time, but when used on oneself, it must be subject to a 24-hour cooldown period, during which silence must be maintained.'

'If I suffer an attack I can't react to, this ability ensures my survival, giving me a chance to use [teleportation] to escape using the air walls that divide space.'

The only limitation is that you can't speak during the [Silence] period; otherwise, any previous injuries will be refunded double. However, compared to [Invincibility], which can be activated once every 24 hours, it's definitely worth it.

With the help of [Mourning Fellowship] and [Instant Teleportation], Kuroro was confident that even if he faced an enemy he couldn't handle, he could at least escape.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

Kuroro feigned a question, but his feet moved forward as if by accident, quite naturally.

The woman's voice paused for a moment, then she said somewhat indistinctly:

"I am the king of this kingdom, of course I know everything."

The King? Isn't King Kakin Naspi?

Kuroro's heart stirred slightly, but his feet didn't stop moving as he said:

"Then what else do you know?"

Almost there, just 3 meters left. Make your movements a little more natural...

Kuroro's casual question unexpectedly caused the woman to fall silent for a moment.

In this deathly silence,

Kuroro moved forward cautiously, wondering about the other person's strange silence.

However, it's a good thing that the other party is stunned.

This gave him time to approach quietly...

Kuroro was completely focused, carefully calculating the distance.

2 meters...1 meters...0.5 meters...

'Just one last step away...'

Kuroro narrowed his eyes slightly, but he wasn't in a hurry.

He knew that the closer he got to success, the more calm and composed he needed to be, otherwise he could easily fail at the last minute.

A profound silence fell.

Kuroro slowly lifted his foot, leaning forward...

Are you sure you want to step on it?

The woman behind the wall suddenly spoke.

Kuroro was startled and froze in his tracks:

Did she see what I did?

The fact that the other person can say he's about to step on something means they can definitely see his current action.

But how did they do it?

Even though there was a wall between them, he couldn't sense the presence of [Circle].

perspective?

Kuroro couldn't be sure, but now wasn't the time to think about that. His foot was already halfway out, hovering in mid-air, unsure whether to step down.

Just then, the woman behind the wall spoke coldly:

"You and your foolish companions all covet things that shouldn't be coveted, whether it's [Ampoulemumab] or the [Three Sacred Treasures]..."

"!"

Kuroro's heart was instantly filled with turmoil.

How did she know her purpose?

The fact that the formula for the drug [Ampoulemumab] was stolen should only be known to the other members of the troupe.

As for the Three Divine Artifacts, he hadn't explained them in detail to anyone!

The intelligence has been completely leaked!

Kuroro suddenly felt as if he had transformed from a spider spinning its web into a flying insect shrouded in an invisible giant web, with everything clearly visible to the person behind the wall.

His heart sank lower and lower.

The harm caused by intelligence leaks is simply too great.

This means that their every move may have already been exposed to the gaze of someone, yet they have not reacted at all!

From the moment it started until now, everything that has happened has completely deviated from Kuroro's expectations.

Just like a train that was running smoothly, but suddenly turned into a giant centipede crawling along the tracks.

This feeling of being out of control even gave him a creepy feeling!

The woman behind the wall seemed to sense Kuroro's surprise and suddenly said softly:

"I know your purpose, but I have no interest in exposing you."

On the contrary, I would very much like to help you.

help……

With his strong mentality, Kuroro quickly recovered from the unexpected emotion, but still remained cautious and did not speak.

He listened quietly to the woman's voice:

"Ampovirumab is ultimately not a vaccine. Even if you get the prescription, it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"If you promise me one thing, I can provide you with the complete process specifications for preparing the [New Line Virus] vaccine."

"Now, make your choice."

The sounds coming from behind the wall gradually became turbulent, as if suppressing pain and shock.

It was as if even the woman who said those words was shocked by what she had just said.

Then, in a tone as if someone were pinching her vitals, in so much pain that tears were about to well up, but she had to suppress all her emotions, she said:

“Take your steps back, we’ve reached an agreement.”

"Or take that step and die by my hand..."

Rather than whether or not cooperation is achieved,

It's more accurate to say it's a matter of life and death.

It was blatant coercion. The woman's subtext was that if he took one step forward, he would die; if he took one step back, he could live, but he would have to be her dog!

Kuroro remained silent.

His outstretched foot was still hanging in mid-air, like the judge's gavel about to fall.

To be someone else's dog?

If anyone else from the tour group were here today, they would only have one choice—

Let's fight her head-on!

Moreover, it has the [Mourning Fellowship] and [Instant Teleportation].

He was confident he wouldn't die here!

Today he's going to see who this pretentious guy really is!

Kuroro stared intently at the wall, a resolute glint in his eyes. Without hesitation, he shifted his weight forward and stomped down with his foot!

pat.

Kuroro suddenly felt a strange sensation.

seem,

What happened?

Before Kuroro could react, the woman's voice suddenly came from behind the wall:

"Is that so, Chrollo Lucilfer? A wise man knows when to yield. If you step back, does that mean you've agreed to my request?"

"Then, we're friends..."
