Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

the next day.

The midday sun shone through the porthole, cutting diagonal golden lines into the room.

Jiang Ling yawned, sat up in bed, and suddenly felt a stinging pain in her left arm.

Looking down, I saw a row of neat teeth marks.

Jiang Ling: ……

"Baka yarou! Ora—!"

Song Ruyu cried out in pain and woke up suddenly from her dream. Her eyes first showed surprise, then confusion, and then deep anger.

"Hey, what are you doing?! Are you... are you crazy? Why are you hitting my drum?"

You dog.

"Huh? You dare to curse again..."

"You dog!"

……

Liu Yishan was very happy.

My friend list has grown to include dozens of cosplayers, many of whom are top-tier cosplayers with millions of followers!

San San (Frilian): [Hello hello~ Kushina-sensei, are you awake yet?]

San San is another cosplayer she knows who specializes in cosplaying fairy-like characters such as Frilian.

Liu Yishan quickly replied: 【Yes, what can I do for you?】

San San: [There's a party this afternoon, do you want to come? You can see the kind of gambling you see in movies...]

gamble?

Liu Yishan's first reaction was to stay away, but San San said she was just going to take a look, which piqued her curiosity, so she typed a reply:

I... I've never gambled, but I did pursue a PhD...

San San: [Haha, this is really atmospheric! Or are you getting off the ship soon?]

Liu Yishan thought for a moment, "Since I'm already here, and I've spent so much money..."

How could you possibly get off the boat halfway through?

Of course, we should keep going until the cruise ship returns to Tokyo Bay!

"Well... let's go take a look this afternoon."

See you at 6 PM!

【Uh-huh.】

Liu Yishan thought for a moment, then sent a message to Yuan Qingzi, whom she had previously added as a friend:

【Hello (＾ω＾), Yoshino-sensei, would you like to go watch gambling together?】

However, after waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, they had no choice but to give up.

……

Two more hours until the gambling begins.

Many people walked along the corridor leading to the hall; it was packed with people, if not a sea of ​​people.

"The most important thing about this mission is to lure Tian She and An Qingyu out."

"Tian She is extremely cautious and often uses decoys. He puts a fake in public while he disguises himself and hides in the crowd."

Song Ruyu continued her incessant narration.

At least in terms of task execution, she found the feeling of being the leader.

"However, Tian She is a gambler. If we play well enough, we will definitely be able to lure him out from the shadows."

"At that time, we can use Charsu to summon An Qingyu Ming, thus killing three birds with one stone..."

boom--

Jiang Ling, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, as if a wall was blocking her way.

"What are you doing?" Song Ruyu frowned.

"You just said that the Heavenly Serpent is very cautious and will disguise itself as an ordinary person, right?"

"Yes, so of the three, he's the hardest to be beheaded..."

"Tian She's real name is Wu Taoshe, age 33, unmarried, and his ID number within Great Xia is 1164676761. He owns properties in Japan and America located in Tokyo Bay XX and San Francisco XX..."

"I like sweets and gambling, I hate weak people, my XP is cool, reptilian scales, so I especially like the dragon girl's tail..."

Song Ruyu: ?

No, what... what nonsense are you talking about?

Jiang Ling stared at the cleaner not far away and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

The male cleaner wore a baseball cap and worked diligently with his head down. However, his muscles did not seem like those of a cleaner. He seemed to be cleaning casually, but he was actually constantly alert to his surroundings.

[Opening the Box with a Sinful Eye]... It seems I randomly opened a box and got a very special person.

Song Ruyu frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? There's absolutely nothing in these intelligence reports—"

"I'm an extraordinary being, so it's normal for me to have special hidden skills, right?"

"Your hidden skill isn't time stop?"

"Who said a person can only have one hidden skill?"

Song Ruyu: ...

"So, you mean you have a hidden skill that allows you to see through other people's information, and you found the Heavenly Serpent in the crowd..." Song Ruyu hit the nail on the head, but her tone was a little numb.

What kind of monster is this?

Having a time-stopping ability is annoying enough, but to have a hidden ability that can also be used for reconnaissance is just... speechless.

Why is God so kind to a pervert?

Wait, could it be that he has more than two hidden skills?

Song Ruyu stared at Jiang Ling's chin with some suspicion, thinking, "It shouldn't be possible..."

After all, it's extremely difficult for an ordinary person to develop a hidden skill.

How could he possibly have a third hidden skill? Haha...

Jiang Ling leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, and said:

"Later, we'll do it this way and that..."

Song Ruyu glanced at the cleaner not far away and nodded:

"Alright then..."

……

Tian She sneered inwardly, "Charsu, you're incredibly stupid."

"The three major powers are openly rebelling, and you still dare to jump up and down like that? When you get beheaded, you'll have no one to cry to!"

The "decapitation operation" was an open secret.

After all, even Lan Xinlan could think that beheading was the best solution to fight against the three major forces.

The three major powers couldn't possibly be unaware of this; they simply weren't aware of the specifics of the "decapitation" operation.

Therefore, the Serpent never intended to show itself from the beginning, and even the person sent to negotiate with Charsu was just a "stand-in".

However, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Tian She still boarded the cruise ship.

On the one hand, since they have already disguised themselves as ordinary people, the risk of their true identities being discovered has been greatly reduced.

On the other hand, he does enjoy gambling, so what's wrong with him observing as an ordinary person?

He lowered his head to wipe away a stain that wasn't even there, a very faint smile playing on his lips.

Looking at the methods of the other two.

An Qingyu Ming hides in the shadows, avoiding the world.

Charsu, relying on the presence of the guards, walked around outside in a grand manner.

His methods were therefore particularly cautious and covert.

Surely I'm not the first person to be "beheaded" while I'm disguised as a cleaner cleaning the cruise ship?

As he thought this, he chuckled to himself.

"Tian She, Wu Taoshe?"

The Heavenly Serpent trembled and instinctively turned around, only to hear a sound:

[Smash—Valudo!]

"Holy crap, it really is him... 666..."

"Alright, enough nonsense. Now that we've confirmed it's him, just use time rewind to help me kill him."

Two seconds later.

Song Ruyu: [Time Rewind - The Loser Eats the Dust!]

Rewind six seconds!

As he thought this, he chuckled to himself.

Suddenly, my vision blurred, and I felt a piercing pain in my chest.

Tian She found himself in the toilet without knowing when.

He opened his mouth, but only a mouthful of bloody foam came out.

Looking down, I saw an arm pierce my chest from behind.

"Huh...? What...?"

"OK, one taken care of."

Outside the window, the sea was calm and still.

The cruise ship continued sailing towards the deep blue sea, as if nothing had happened.

—The most cautious celestial serpent, dead... unable to rise again!
