During his training at the South Base, Lan Su had read many of the books in the Sword of Truth and knew some of the secrets.

"Who is it? Please tell me!"

Daqin Temple completely lost its usual composure and grabbed Lan Su's arm, eager to know the answer.

"It's Touma! Whether you believe it or not, he's the one who can end the story."

Lan Su was somewhat frightened by the appearance of Daqin Temple and hurriedly gave the answer.

"Hiyu Shin?" Daikoji was somewhat taken aback, but also felt it was possible.

"How did you know that Touma was the prophet?"

"Ah, that's the secret, but what I'm saying is absolutely true. You'll see the reason in a few months at the latest."

"..."

Daqin Temple finally agreed to Lan Su's request, and Lan Su left Daqin Temple's studio satisfied. The Narak space was already filled with many books.

Back in the conference hall, Lan Su saw Mei angrily berating Kento, while Ryo Onoue was trying his best to calm the agitated Mei down.

"Wow, it's so lively here."

Having achieved his goal, Lan Su was in a very good mood. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting awkward, he spoke up to ease the tension.

"Lan Su-san, thank you so much! We really owe you a lot this time!"

Fei Yuzhen hurriedly stepped forward to thank Lan Su for his righteous intervention, which cleared the room of the previous tension.

"Don't do that. We're all swordsmen in the organization. It's only right that we help each other out."

"Hey buddy, did you see Sophia when you brought the novelists back?"

Ryo Oogami stepped forward and asked somewhat anxiously, "Sophia is not only the person in charge of the North District Base, but also the maintainer of the energy barrier of the North District Base."

Now that Sofia is gone, the base could be invaded at any time by the Megiddo triad.

"I'm sorry, I didn't find any trace of Sophia, otherwise I would have brought her back with me."

Lan Su naturally knew that Linghua had taken Sophia away, but telling this group now would only cause unnecessary trouble for himself and Linghua.

Speaking of Linghua, Lansu is also preparing to start implementing some plans.

…………

"What on earth is going on? Who is that guy who looks just like you?!"

As soon as Zios returned to their base, he swaggered up to Lanyu and questioned her.

"Hey, hey, hey, know your place! If you keep jumping around like that in front of me, I might kill you!"

Lan Yu was somewhat dissatisfied and kicked the irritable guy away.

“You brat! This is our territory!” Raziel came to Zios’s side and glared at Lanyu with displeasure.

Although the three of them mocked each other every day, they had been together for thousands of years, so they would naturally stand on the same side.

"Tsk, alright, alright, I'll just reluctantly tell you all about it."

"Lan Su and I are like opposite sides of the same coin. If he is the light, then I am the darkness."

"As for our origins, I'm not afraid to tell you, he and I are both descendants of God!"

"Hahaha…"

Zios and Raziel naturally didn't believe these seemingly joking words, but Stryus secretly kept them in mind.

As for Wang Jian, he didn't care about Lan Yu's intrusion. Although he was a little curious about this guy who couldn't see into the future, he didn't care as long as it didn't affect his plans.

"Oh? Is this a new guy?"

Just then, a flirtatious voice came from inside, and a figure in red walked in.

He came to Lan Yu's side and looked her over curiously. Sensing the aura emanating from Lan Yu, Tian Zai took a serious sniff.

"You're something else, aren't you? You're one of us."

Tianzai casually put his arm around Lanyu's shoulder, acting like a good brother.

"You too, what's your name?"

Lan Yu looked at the natural disaster and became interested; this guy, like him, was created.

"My name is Tianzai, what's yours?"

“Lanyu”.

"What? Your name is awful."

"You too."

The two disliked each other's names, but the next second they looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Hey, where have you been, you bastard? Behave yourself and don't do anything reckless!"

Raziel angrily blamed the natural disaster, while Old Wu stared coldly at it.

This special Megido that the three of them created seems to be a bit disobedient.

The natural disaster retorted defiantly, "I can go wherever I want!"

"Haha, you've got guts! Come on, let me treat you to milk tea!" Lan Yu admired Tian Zai's character and pulled him away from the stronghold.

"Milk tea? What's that?" Tianzai asked curiously as the two went outside.

You'll find out soon enough.

"That kid is too arrogant! And that guy from the natural disaster is actually helping outsiders!"

Zios and Raziel were very dissatisfied, but Old Wu remained as calm as ever.

"Never mind, the most important thing right now is to open the door to the catalog."

"Once we open the remaining four gates, we can open the gate to the world of the catalog. Once we control that power, everything will be under our control."

On the rooftop of a building, Lanyu appeared with two extra-large cups of milk tea.

Meanwhile, Tianzai had already curiously approached and was eyeing the drink in Lanyu's hand.

"Come and have a taste."

Lanyu handed a cup of milk tea to Tianzai, then opened her own cup and began to enjoy it.

"Ha~ This tastes like milk tea! It's really good! No wonder Lan Su likes it so much."

Seeing Lan Yu looking so content, Tian Zai copied Lan Yu's earlier action, inserting a straw and taking a sip.

"So sweet!"

The sweetness and aroma of the milk tea instantly bloomed on his tongue; it was a taste he had never experienced before.

"Not bad, right!"

"Hmm, it's alright."

Tianzai turned her head away with a somewhat arrogant air, but she didn't put down the milk tea in her hand.

…………

Inside the Kamishiro family's villa estate, Kamishiro Reika sat on the living room sofa, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Sophia, on the other hand, was currently bound with ropes and locked in the study.

"Here we come, here we come!"

Lansu and Yaz each held a plate with milk tea and desserts that he had made according to the recipes left by Xiangyi.

He had previously promised Linghua that he would make milk tea and desserts to apologize to her, and now he was fulfilling that promise.

"Miss Linghua, please enjoy your meal. These desserts were made with great care by Lord Lan Su."

Yaz delivered the dessert to Linghua's table, and didn't forget to say a few good words for Lansu.

"Here, try this, a strawberry milkshake~"

Looking at the dazzling array of food in front of her, Linghua swallowed slightly, picked up a small cake in front of her, and took a bite.

"Delicious!" Linghua exclaimed unconsciously.

"I'm glad you like it."

Seeing that Linghua was satisfied, Lan Su also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Lansu, I was also of some help!" Yaz quickly claimed credit.

"Of course, I couldn't have accomplished all this without the help of my most capable assistant."

Lan Su ruffled Yaz's long hair and praised him affectionately.

Linghua was slightly dissatisfied with Lansu's attitude towards Yaz.

She muttered to herself, "That Lan Su guy is really something, he's never treated me like this before."

Turning her grief and anger into a appetite, Linghua devoured the delicious food on the table.

"I'm going to see Sofia."

Lan Su picked up a dessert and went to the study where Sophia was being held.

“Now that you’re awake, stop pretending, Miss Sophia.”

Sofia opened her eyes, her gaze complex, as if she wanted to ask Lan Su and Ling Hua why they did this.

"I'm sorry, Sophia, for capturing you."

Lan Su brought a drink and dessert to Sophia and removed her restraints.

"Mr. Lansu, why did you bring me here?"

Sofia did not blame Lan Su and Ling Hua for their actions; she simply voiced her doubts.

"If I say this is the command of the Holy Lord of Truth, would you believe me?"

"The Holy Lord's command, how could it be...!"

Recalling her previous conversation with Daichi Kamijou, Sofia had a shocking guess in her mind!

"Could it be that the traitor within the organization is actually the Holy Lord!?"

Chapter 22 Lan Su's Plan

"It seems you already have some doubts."

Lan Su leaned back at the desk, arms crossed, watching Sophia, who was sitting in a chair, her expression changing.

"Here's what you'll do me a favor in return for saving you."

Sophia looked at Lan Su with a puzzled expression. "What kind of help?"

"..."

A silence fell over the study for a while, but Sofia's expression suggested that the two were communicating.

“I agree. I also want to know the truth about what happened fifteen years ago.”

Sofia eventually agreed to Lan Su's cooperation, wanting to personally confirm her doubts.

"Take this with you, and call my name when you confirm the truth or encounter a crisis."

Lan Su carved out a small space inside the gemstone on Sofia's forehead and stored a tiny camera inside.

They appear identical from the outside, but can be used as a medium to record the outside situation and to call for help from Lansoo in case of emergency.

"Well then, while there's still time, please try some of my desserts."

After discussing the collaboration, Lan Su left the study and returned to the living room.

"Lord Lan Su, we've detected that Megiddo has resumed its operations. The swordsmen from the North District have already set off!"

When Yaz saw Lansu come out, he told Lansu about the test results, which Lansu had previously asked Yaz to keep an eye on.

"I understand, I'm coming right now!"

"Linghua, I'm going to help get rid of Megido. I'll leave Sofia with you alone."

After Lan Su finished speaking, he didn't give Ling Hua a chance to ask him what he had asked Sophia for, and in the blink of an eye, he and Yaz disappeared from the living room.
