"The bait has been laid out, and according to intelligence, it should now be located within the city."

"Okay, I understand."

After changing into his battle clothes, Raven grabbed the Third Divine Key and asked the Jackal a question.

"The target is Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie, Rita Losweisse. Use the Divine Key to kill her and weaken Schicksal's combat power—that's the objective of this mission, right?"

"Ah, this mission is much simpler than the one in Nine Netherworld. You shouldn't fail, right?"

In response to the jackal's provocative words, Raven snorted and replied irritably.

"You really shouldn't hold me back, Jackal."

After saying this, Raven activated the quantum teleportation system again, bringing himself to the sniping location he had previously chosen in London.

"According to intelligence, Rita Losweiser has appeared in this district. Yes, that woman is indeed here."

"It's not a good idea to open fire directly in the city. Let's keep tracking her for now."

The third Divine Key in Raven's hand not only possesses terrifying destructive power, but also has another special ability.

The scope of the Third Divine Key also possesses a certain high-dimensional observation capability. Through the scope, Raven's vision is no longer limited to the physical level, but transcends the concept of three dimensions, leaving nothing hidden from view.

It was through this method that she easily spotted Rita Rossweisse.

But in the next moment, the raven, who should have been coldly carrying out its mission, suddenly became unsettled.

"What's that kid doing here?!"

Previously, Raven had discovered Gu Yu's whereabouts through his informants in Sky City.

It was because of this incident that she was able to confirm that Gu Yu and the girl from the Shaniat tribe had escaped from that special world, which finally put her at ease.

But according to the information she received, wasn't that kid seriously injured?

Why is he in London now?

Then, the raven saw a scene that shocked her to no end.

That woman named Rita Losweiser actually...

Just like a girl in love, she happily hugged Gu Yu's arm.

Raven even saw the girl pressing her enormous headlights tightly against Gu Yu's body.

"Wait... wait a minute!"

Doesn't this guy have a fiancée in Sky City?

Aren't those Herrscher girls from St. Freya Academy also connected to him?

Why……

How could this kid be so shameless as to get involved with the other Valkyries of Schicksal?!

That scumbag! I misjudged him!

The raven, whose thoughts were becoming increasingly bizarre, angrily found a place to sit down.

Now that she had confirmed the target's location, she wasn't in a hurry to act; she wanted to observe the situation carefully first...

—What exactly is this brat planning to do with Rita Rossweisse?!

………………

Guided by Rita, the two traversed countless streets and alleys.

However, neither Gu Yu nor Rita sensed that the murderous gaze had disappeared.

"Rita, didn't you say you were very familiar with this area?"

After stopping in a small alley, Gu Yu expressionlessly shook off the girl's hand and looked at her coldly.

"Can you be a little more reliable? Aren't you the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny?"

"Can't even shake off a tail? What happened to the perfect maid?"

Even if you say that…

Rita sighed helplessly after Gu Yu said that.

"The enemy is really sticking tight this time. Mr. Gu Yu, have you offended any terrible people recently?"

"No, I think you should ask yourself this first—my hands are much cleaner than yours, so it's more likely that your enemies are the ones coming to kill me."

"It shouldn't be."

Rita responded with a smile.

"After all, my success rate in carrying out assassinations is 100%. No target survives, and I clean up the scene very thoroughly."

Wow, that's terrifying.

This woman is truly terrifying.

If Gu Yu wants to escape this place, he can simply activate the Aurora Curtain to solve the problem.

But he was very curious about who had his eye on him.

If it's just ordinary misplaced anger, it's generally unlikely that the person would keep targeting you.

Is it someone I know?

Or rather... the one being blamed is Rita, right?

"What's wrong, Mr. Gu Yu?"

Seeing Gu Yu frown slightly, Rita tilted her head and walked towards Gu Yu.

Do you have any clues?

"No, absolutely not. Rather, do you have any way to lure the enemy out?"

"As for a solution... there is one."

After thinking for a minute or two, Rita said to Gu Yu with a serious expression.

"However, this method carries a slight risk."

"Of course, I will bear the risks myself—the fact that the enemy has not launched an attack on us in the city means that they do not want to make a big fuss."

"From this perspective, we are in the same boat as the other side. In that case, let's choose a place where the other side is sure to open fire."

"They've been watching us from a distance, probably planning a surprise attack with firearms. If that's the case, the grasslands, with their lack of cover, are probably the battlefield they most want to see."

After Rita revealed the location, Gu Yu's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"In that case, I reckon everything will be fine. But your safety... do you really think this is a good idea?"

"When Valkyries are on a mission, can they ever guarantee that they will come back alive? We are dancers who dance on the edge of a knife, so naturally we cannot pursue a perfect dance."

At this point, Rita suddenly smiled.

"Besides, isn't Mr. Gu Yu here?"

“Mr. Gu Yu, Rita believes in you. If it were you, Mr. Gu Yu, you would never abandon Rita.”

Chapter 267. Surprise Attack

“Mr. Gu Yu, Rita believes in you. If it were you, Mr. Gu Yu, you would never abandon Rita.”

It has to be said that it's quite touching for a beautiful young woman to say such things to you under normal circumstances.

If Gu Yu had heard Rita Rossweisse say such words when he had just transmigrated to this world, he might have actually fallen for her on the spot.

However, now...

"Yes, yes, I believe you."

Believe me for a second, you wicked maid.

I still remember the time when you came at me with a sickle when we first met!

Having experienced the first encounter with a sickle, the near-attack while unconscious, the time ROS planted a listening device on him, and the time he was tricked by her with her suitcase after returning to St. Freya, Gu Yu had long since categorized the girl in front of him as a troublesome presence.

Gu Yu didn't know what Rita meant by those words, but in Gu Yu's eyes, Rita was almost certainly up to no good.

If there weren't currently no conflict, he really wouldn't bother continuing to waste words with this person.

"Ha, I knew this would happen..."

Seeing Gu Yu's perfunctory attitude, Rita could only sigh helplessly and said nothing more.

She hadn't forgotten what Gu Yu had done to her; it wasn't anything too serious, but it certainly left a bad impression.

Turning things around is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight.

After the two finished their awkward conversation, the atmosphere immediately fell silent.

Gu Yu had his own things to investigate, and if it weren't for wanting to lure out the person secretly watching him, he would have left on the spot right now.

Rita had already arranged to meet with the director of the British Museum today, and to be honest, she only had a few hours to spare in a place like this.

Gradually, the raven observing the two with the Third Divine Key noticed the obvious impatience in their eyes.

And for this reason, the raven finally understood...

—Although these two people put on a nonchalant appearance, they were definitely waiting for me to show my face.

"Hmph, only a fool would make a move at this time."

Raven was confident that he could hit Rita Rossweisse with one blow, but only if she didn't notice his presence.

Although Rita is not currently wearing Valkyrie armor, she has already heightened her vigilance and incorporated Honkai energy into her body.

In this situation, the probability of Raven hitting Rita is greatly reduced.

The third Divine Key can only fire one bullet, and after firing that bullet, Raven's combat power will inevitably plummet to an extremely embarrassing state.

With her skills, fighting Honkai Beasts shouldn't be a problem, but what if she fails to kill Rita...?
