Female Knight Simulator, I am full of righteousness!

Therefore, Loria was still confident that she could deal with Vita.

Even if we can't win, it's enough to run away.

After all, this time she doesn't have to worry about Miss Fat Sheep's safety.

dong dong——

There was a gentle knock on the door.

As Loria raised her hand for the third time, the door suddenly opened, and Vita appeared in the doorway, her eyes slightly dark.

“Adeline, she…”

"Let's go inside and talk."

Loria, with an air of familiarity, squeezed in.

Just like the last time she came, the house was very tidy, and she sat down at the table in the living room.

Vita excitedly brought over a glass of juice: "Fresh."

She paced back and forth by the table a few times, then her gaze suddenly focused on Loria's face.

"Loria, how did you manage to avoid Adeline's gaze?"

Loria immediately sat up straight.

It's time to lay our cards on the table.

Realizing that neither threats nor inducements could persuade Vita, she had only one last resort.

“Vita, at this point, I feel I have nothing left to hide.”

"?"

Loria said calmly, "I know you come from an organization called the Hidden Leader, and I also know that the Hidden Leader will launch an attack on Stream Town tomorrow. The reason I've been with the leader these past few days is because we've been searching for a way to protect Stream Town."

Vita's eyes flickered violently.

“I’m not lying. I know you’re planning to take action against the investigation team sent by Clarence City, but in order to get the list of the people who directed them, I acted first.”

"Because I knew that you had contacted the tree spirit and were preparing to launch a monster tide to attack Stream Town, after the news of the entire investigation team's violent deaths spread, I shifted the blame onto the tree spirit and joined forces with others to eliminate it."

"The night I finished defeating the tree spirit, a woman named Sylph ambushed me on the way. I killed her. I knew you had obtained the power called rebirth, so I destroyed her body."

"These past few days, the Hidden Leader sent people to investigate Sylph's death again. The Chairman and I pretended to accidentally witness her committing the crime and eliminated her."

“After these operations, the power of the Hidden Leader has been weakened considerably, but as long as they launch a full-scale attack, Stream Town will surely suffer a calamity. I don’t want to see my hometown destroyed like this.”

Loria paused for a long while, then Vita asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you if you tell me all this directly?"

Loria shook her head: "Before we went to cause trouble for the mayor together, I knew that you, Vita, were from the Hidden Head, so I was always quite surprised that you were willing to help me. But now that I think about it, I was too naive about the problem, no, I should say I was too naive about people."

Humans are complex, with many different facets.

Even a ruthless killer will gather around a freshly rained flower in the early morning and gently sniff it.

To describe it using that classic movie analogy, it's like Léon: The Professional.

Loria said, "I believe Vita is a good person at heart, otherwise you wouldn't have kept trying to save me. That's why I want to be open and honest with you, Vita, and make things clear. That way, even if we still can't walk side by side in the end, I won't have any regrets."

Vita stared into Loria's eyes for a long time.

That night, only the ticking sound outside the window frame continued to play.

After a while, Vita walked over and sat down opposite Loria.

This action relieved Loria.

She was afraid that she might do something to provoke Vita, so that Vita would take action without saying a word.

"It seems that Sister Vita is willing to continue talking with me. Then I will get straight to my original purpose. I hope that Sister Vita will abandon the darkness and tell me exactly how many people the Hidden Leader sent this time."

Vita shook her head.

She was about to speak when Loria interrupted her.

“I knew Vita would refuse, and I guessed she would advise me not to meddle and to leave Stream Town as soon as possible to save my life, but that’s impossible.”

The female knight took the initiative and became the host.

“I won’t leave. I will stay until this monster tide ends. It’s only natural. Stream Town is my hometown, and there are people I care about here. Put yourself in my shoes, Vita. If you were in my position, would you run away alone?”

Vita really wanted to nod.

But after staring into Loria's bright eyes for a long time, she gave up.

Lying is useless; it will be easily detected.

“No,” she said.

If she would, she wouldn't be meeting Loria here.

At this point, Vita was convinced that Loria had not been coerced by Adeline into doing things she didn't want to do.

But she was even more worried, because Loria was going to face the Hidden Leader.

She had wanted to rebel against the Hidden Leader countless times, but every time she returned to that gloomy training ground, her breathing, her blood, and her muscles would completely freeze.

That fear stemmed not only from speculation about the power of the Hidden Leader, but also from the dread of that unknown god.

Loria continued, "I guess Vita will continue to reject me, right? I'm already mentally prepared, so today I came here with a different goal than hoping you'll change your mind and come to me. I want to know the root cause of your rejection."

In the simulation, she searched for the answer again and again, but never found it, which left her feeling frustrated and unsatisfied.

Vita couldn't help but ask, "How do you know everything?"

Loria lied, "I have unique interrogation techniques."

Vita said, "Then why don't you try interrogating me?"

Loria couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Do you think I haven't tried?

I've been going all out in the simulation, grinding you to pieces several times, but you still won't tell me. What else can I do to torture you?

Generally speaking, this kind of continuous attack that lasts for dozens of hours without rest is much more terrifying than ordinary torture.

Loria could only lie: "Because you are Vita."

Actually, it can't be entirely considered a lie. After all, in the simulation, she didn't do anything as evil as forcing Vita to ride the wooden donkey or crawl through the iron virgin. In the end, she took the initiative and delivered a "sitting kill" to let Vita experience the feeling of drowning.

Afterwards, Vita not only didn't scold her, but excitedly expressed that she liked that feeling and told Loria to sit there more often.

Realizing she was being targeted by a pervert, Loria never dared to do such things in the simulation again.

Vita's gaze softened.

She didn't care whether Loria's words were a lie or not; anyway, they made her feel comfortable, as if she were basking in warm sunshine.

She said, "If you really decide to stay, then there's no turning back."

Loria nodded: "I've thought it through."

Vita said, "After the monster tide occurs, you will be the one to lead the resistance. Therefore, the Hidden Leader will see you as a thorn in their side. Even if you survive this time, they will not let you go afterward."

Loria smiled and said, "It won't be long before the Hidden Leaders start a war, and then they won't have time to pay attention to me anymore, since I don't have the magical puppet they're looking for."

Was the preparation more thorough than I imagined?

Vita finally nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you."

Along with those words, her right hand reached out.

It was an arm as white as cream and as soft as fresh tofu.

But an unusual pattern appeared on the wrist of this hand. Loria looked at it carefully for a while and confirmed that it was a fluttering butterfly that seemed about to fly out at any moment.

"Tattoo?"

That doesn't make sense. If Vita really had tattoos, the simulator should have recorded it if something happened between them in the simulation.

The butterfly vanished in an instant.

Vita said, "Since you know I have 'rebirth ability,' you must also know that this ability comes from the Cult of Madness and Indulgence. The Cult of Madness and Indulgence worships other gods and is not tolerated by the orthodox goddess cult. They are universally hated. Therefore, when the Hidden Leader extended an olive branch to them, they agreed to cooperate without hesitation. The reason they agreed so quickly is because the core members of the Hidden Leader also worship other gods, so they have no need to worry about being betrayed."

"Is this butterfly a representation of the alien gods?"

"This is the mark left by the Weaver of the Hidden Head Faith. All those who have been baptized by the Weaver have this mark on their bodies."

What is the use of the mark?

Vita shook her head: "I'm not very clear. Its abilities far exceed my imagination. I only know that the Hidden Head can send me messages through this mark. These are not ordinary messages, but rather hints that can subtly influence people. If I surrender to you, one day you will all die silently at my hands."

Loria was stunned.

This news is shocking enough, but not enough to make the simulated Vita rather bleed to death in endless petting than speak up and explain.

“The Weaver is different from gods like the Goddess of Dawn, Wind and Sky, who can be worshipped or abandoned at any time. He is an alien god who increases his followers by ‘infecting’ them. All those who know of his existence are his targets for infection.”

Holy crap, this might not be a virus.

No wonder the faith in the goddess of dawn, wind and sky has spread throughout the entire continent of Oser. Not only are the statues of this goddess beautiful, but the doctrines of the church under her name are also quite tolerant.

With such a goddess right in front of you, who in their right mind would still worship a mad and unrestrained goddess or a "monster" like the Weaver?

If they really came for the sake of sex, Loria thought the believers would rather worship her and pray that she would sprinkle dew more often every day.

She countered, "So, Vita, you're insisting on not telling me because you don't want me to be associated with the Weavers?"

"Your future is not in that darkness."

Vita's gaze softened.

She was already trapped in the web woven by the Weaver, and she didn't want Loria, whom she considered her other half, to have the same experience, otherwise all her efforts would have been in vain.

However, Loria insisted on asking for the answer, and given the current situation, it was inevitable that Loria would confront the Hidden One, and she would eventually find out about the Weaver's existence.

Since that's the case, it would be better for her to tell Loria what a Weaver is, so that she can be more careful.

Loria felt guilty.

Doesn't this mean she's also at risk of being infected by the weaver?

Damn it.

She hasn't lived enough yet, and she doesn't want to become a vessel for some damn alien god.
