I love you, brother, but you, the evil god, must fall into good.

Mu Mu'en nodded.

"What about first-tier cities? Our Dachuan City is considered a first-tier city, right? Its infrastructure isn't bad either!"

The Master of a Thousand Machines smiled.

"In a first-tier city like Dachuan, Director Zhao is at the eighth rank."

"And further down."

"Chief of the adjudication bureau in an ordinary city."

"Generally, it's from the initial stage of the seventh rank to the later stage of the seventh rank."

"certainly."

"If a city is special, or if it is prone to disasters, there may be a stronger force guarding it."

After listening, Mu Mu'en gained a clearer understanding of the Federation's current power structure.

Just as the mastermind was preparing to continue teaching and training...

"well?!"

Her silk thread suddenly twitched slightly, and she frowned.

"Did you find anything?"

Mu Mu'en immediately became alert, but Qianji Shou did not answer.

Just looking in a certain direction.

"That's a bit strange..."

"There seems to be something there???"

Then, Mu Mu'en looked at Qianji Shou.

"Sister Umbrella".

"How so?"

"Was that... a calamity?"

The Master of a Thousand Machines shook his head.

"uncertain."

"It's also possible that it's just some superhuman hiding here."

"After all, it's not only calamities that can create such a commotion."

She paused for a moment.

"Whatever it is, now that we've found out, let's go check it out."

"clear."

The two did not linger; in a flash, they slipped into the direction where the anomaly had appeared.

At this moment, although Mu Mu'en has only just begun to undergo the trial, her strength is actually not weak.

the reason is simple.

As Lynn's clone, she shares the same realm as her original self.

Therefore, she now possesses the strength of the initial stage of the third tier.

Although not as good as the Thousand Machine Hand who just broke through to the sixth rank.

But keeping up with the other person's speed is still not a problem.

The two moved quickly between floors.

Qianji Shou smiled as he watched Mu Mu En's actions.

"Speaking of which..."

"Mu Mu'en, I've noticed lately that you have quite a talent for learning Federation physical techniques."

Mu Mu'en was taken aback.

"Really?"

"certainly."

The Thousand Machine Hand nodded.

"It's like the first rays of dawn in the east, and the first sunrise of the blue sun."

"You have mastered these two basic martial arts techniques to perfection."

"but……"

She glanced at Mu Mu'en's movement.

"Your footwork is still a little lacking."

"After all, in battle, it's not just about attacking that's important."

"Pursuit, retreat, and relocation are equally crucial."

At this point, the mastermind suddenly became interested.

How about this?

"After a while, I will teach you a movement technique from within the Judgment Bureau, specifically for traveling and chasing enemies."

"Please teach me now!"

Mu Mu'en spoke immediately.

The Mastermind: "???"

"So urgent?"

But Mu Mu'en nodded seriously.

"Um."

"If possible, let's begin now."

The Thousand-Machine Hand looked at her.

"Do you really enjoy studying?"

Mu Mu'en: "Well, actually... I'm a genius."

"..."

The Mastermind: "?"

"While it's not so exaggerated as to say you'll understand after just one glance."

"but……"

Mu Mu'en said earnestly.

"You can use it after learning it once."

The Mastermind: "???"

Good guy.

Is this how I introduce myself to her?!

However, considering the learning speed that Mu Mu'en had shown before, she had no doubts.

"Alright! Watch closely, here's what you'll do next..."

As the Thousand Machine Hand stood still, Mu Mu'en looked over carefully and saw that the other party was mobilizing his mental power.

The next moment, the surrounding air began to change subtly.

"Its name is... 【The Sorrow of the Scarlet Mist】."

The words fell.

In an instant.

The wind rises.

Fog rises.

The figure of the Thousand Machine Hand gradually became blurred.

It didn't disappear.

Rather, it was because she was moving too fast that her afterimage remained in place.

Wisps of pale red mist spread out as she moved, like the thin mist dyed red in the morning light.

With each step that falls.

They all seemed to leave behind an indistinguishable phantom in the same spot.

One step ago we were still standing here.

next second.

The person had already appeared dozens of meters away, and even the sound was a beat late.

"The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon."

The voice of the Thousand Machine Hand came from afar.

"This movement technique allows the user to move like the wind and clouds, laughing at their enemies and dispelling their sorrows amidst the mist!"

Mu Mu'en: "?"

She gazed at the crimson mist and fell silent.

This name...

Who actually named it?

Why does a walking technique feel like writing poetry while drunk?

But the mastermind looked serious.

"Don't underestimate it."

"【The Sorrow of the Crimson Mist】is the highest-rated movement technique within the Judgment Bureau."

"Its greatest feature is not just its speed."

She reached out and gently touched the surrounding mist.

"It can also help stabilize one's state of mind through the atmosphere it evokes."

"I'm asking you, what's the most important thing in a fight?"

Mu Mu'en thought for a moment.

"calm?"

"That's right."

The Thousand Machine Hand nodded.

"Many extraordinary individuals do not lose because they lack strength, but because their Dao mind is disturbed when facing powerful enemies."

"Fear, terror, anger, despair..."

"These emotions can all affect judgment."

She looked at Mu Mu'en.

"And the [Scarlet Mist's Sorrow] is designed to help users maintain mental stability while moving at high speeds."

"so……"

"When you can win, shout 'The Sorrow of the Crimson Mist'."

"Full of momentum, chasing after the enemy!"

Tell yourself that the advantage lies with you!

Mu Mu'en: "...What if we can't beat them?"

The mastermind paused for a second before answering seriously.

"Shout it out too."

Mu Mu'en: "?"

"When retreating, it is even more important to strengthen one's resolve on the path."

As he spoke, Qianji clenched his fist.

"Shout out 'The Sorrow of the Crimson Mist' to the enemy."

Tell yourself, this isn't an escape, it's a strategic retreat, there's plenty of time!

"...Amazing."

Mu Mu'en fell silent.

"The person who created this martial art must have had a very good mindset."

The Thousand Machine Hand nodded.

"really."

"That senior once said, 'Don't panic when you can't beat someone.'"

"Just run fast enough."

"Today's defeat is the prelude to tomorrow's revenge."

"So, is this a movement technique or psychological counseling?"

The mastermind thought about it carefully.

"I think so."

"After all, it's a judgment, so we not only need to know how to fight, but also how to survive, just like in our history textbook (mentioned in Chapter 53), when facing the [Mirage] of Calamity Sequence 173!"

"The federal government places great importance on the mental health of those making rulings, so physical techniques and other activities are designed with emotional release in mind!"

After hearing this, what else could Mu Mu'en say?

The Federation is awesome!

"like……"

"That does make some sense!"

Subsequently, the Thousand Machine Hand began to formally teach the "Sorrow of the Scarlet Mist".

Mu Mu'en, on the other hand, directly activated her [Skill and Dao Sublimation]!

Consume experience.

It might temporarily boost your learning efficiency, but Lunar New Year's Eve is just around the corner.

The number of disasters in the entire city of Okawa has decreased significantly recently.

The experience available is not as plentiful as before.

"Ugh!"

Looking at her dwindling experience reserves, Mu Mu'en couldn't help but sigh.

"Not in charge..."

"Don't they know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are?!"
