Their commission was suspicious.

"Deal, no backing out!" Alicia's change of expression was faster than Chen Luo had imagined.

Although the investigative capabilities had indeed revealed future trends, Alicia's change of heart was even faster than Chen Luo had anticipated.

From her pitiful state just moments ago to her current smugness, Alicia only took 0.5 seconds.

[Ding! Mission complete]

But Chen Luo didn't lose out either.

"call!"

But suddenly, a contract appeared in front of Alicia.

Alicia was somewhat bewildered by the sudden appearance of such a contract.

Driven by curiosity, Alicia took the contract that was floating in the air.

But Alicia was horrified the moment she saw it. Wait, this contract isn't...

As if waiting for Alicia to realize it, after Alicia confirmed what kind of contract it was, a book appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

After the Book of Contracts sensed the appearance of the contract, the contract in Alicia's hand showed signs of faintly moving closer to the Book of Contracts.

Seeing this, Alicia rolled the contract into a paper tube and stuffed it into her chest.

If you're so capable, come and take it!

Alicia still wanted to try to struggle.

"Heh." Seeing Alicia's last bit of stubbornness, Chen Luo shook his head.

Alicia felt a chill on her chest, and the contract disappeared from where it was supposed to be, appearing in Chen Luo's hand.

"Hmm, let me see what kind of contract this was just concluded." Chen Luo's smile widened.

Whenever a time-limited contract is completed, that contract will appear and be recorded in the Book of Contracts.

This also means that the contract has been reached.

As for mandatory contracts, unless both parties to the contract agree to terminate the contract, there is rarely a chance to have the contract re-entered into the contract book; generally, one serves for life.

"So that's how it is." After seeing the contents of the contract, Chen Luo couldn't help but glance at Alicia, who was standing beside him sighing.

"Lolo, didn't you say you wouldn't ask anymore?!" Alicia was furious, and the consequences would be severe.

"Yes, I didn't press them, but I could guess."

"And don't you think this contract is already quite lenient? It stipulates that the game is only considered lost if the identity is deduced from you through reasonable clues. That's already very merciful," Chen Luo said, waving the contract in his hand.

"Hmph!" Alicia was still somewhat unconvinced.

This wasn't deduced from reasonable clues at all; it was simply a slip of the tongue.

"There must be something wrong with your contract. How could you be so sure that I am the one in charge of the Honkai consciousness right now, based on just one slip of the tongue from me?"

Alicia doesn't seem willing to admit defeat.

"Hmm?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was hiding to the side, seemed to have heard something that caught her attention.

Although I had guessed it before, it was just wishful thinking.

Can we take these wildly imaginative ideas seriously?

Seeing that Alicia and Chen Luo were engrossed in the deduction, the Herrscher of Knowledge cautiously approached the scene and took the contract from Chen Luo's hand.

The Law Master was very curious about what kind of contract was signed on this contract.

[Werewolf]: Thirteen heroes from the Land of the Dead choose whether or not to become agents of the collapsing consciousness. (Agents have only limited control, not decision-making power.)

In this game, a maximum of five Heroes can become proxies, while the remaining eight Heroes will become guardians, temporarily concealing all memories related to the contract. Each proxy will hold a copy of the contract, which will be revoked if their identity is discovered.

Once the destined person recognizes the identity of the first agent, the game officially begins.

Those destined to be chosen must identify the true werewolf (agent) among the 13 heroes from the Paradise of the Past.

Note: During this process, those who are destined to be connected can only use their extraordinary abilities to find clues and make inferences, and must not use the results of their abilities as factual basis.

If the chosen one wins, each of the five agents will fulfill one special customized wish of Party A (Chen Luo).

If the destined person accidentally kills any of the guardians before the game is completely completed, the destined person will fail, and Party A (Chen Luo) will need to fulfill one special customized wish for each of the thirteen heroes.

Party A: Chen Luo

Party B: Alicia, Kevin...

In the signature section of Party A's document, it was Chen Luo's own handwriting, a fact that even a discerning person like myself could tell.

The signature section for Party B contained the names of all thirteen heroes, but Alicia's name was highlighted separately.

This means that this contract belongs to Alicia.

Apart from Alicia's signature, the remaining signatures were signed in order of the Thirteen Heroes' ranking.

There is simply no way to find clues about who the werewolf is from the order of their names.

After understanding most of the information contained in this contract, the Law Master couldn't help but take notice.

The Herrscher of Knowledge knew that Chen Luo had an identity mission related to the Honkai consciousness, so he had been speculating about who was currently acting as the agent for the Honkai consciousness in the sky.

The Lawbringer had made some guesses, but he never expected the truth to be so outrageous...

Well, it's not exactly outrageous; it's more like it's within reason but unexpected.

Chen Luo probably only trusted the 13 Heroes in the previous civilization... It couldn't possibly be the Gray Serpent, could it?

As the only remaining legacy of the previous civilization, if someone had to be chosen as a representative, it would naturally be one of the thirteen heroes.

However, the Herrscher of Knowledge truly hadn't expected that Chen Luo hadn't entrusted this task to just one person, but rather to five different groups. They even ended up playing a game because of it…

Wow, that's quite a fancy way to play!

"Regardless of the process... Alicia, you lost." Chen Luo said as he added the contract in the Herrscher of Knowledge's hand into the Book of Contracts.

"I refuse to accept this!" Alicia clearly didn't want to give up so quickly.

"Seriously? Do you want me to explain my reasoning process to you?"

"Of course I want it. After all, I only misspoke. Why do you assume I'm one of the agents? I don't care, you have to explain it to me clearly, or I won't acknowledge it."

Even though she was at such a disadvantage, Alicia still tried to struggle.

The first werewolf to be killed... that's so embarrassing, isn't it?

Even if it's already a fact, Alicia would rather believe that Chen Luo is too outstanding, rather than that she made a foolish mistake!

"You want the reasoning process? No problem, Alicia-neechan, do you remember..."

"Don't call me Sister Alicia! I don't have a brother like you!" Alicia said angrily.

"Alright, Alicia, do you remember I told you at the beginning that I went to the Honkai World a couple of days ago?"

Chen Luo has one good point: he listens to advice!

Since Alicia doesn't want to be called "older sister," then she can be called "younger sister."

"..."

"I'm not lying to you, I really have been to the Honkai world, but I went to the Sea of ​​Quanta instead of the main world."

"In addition, as you said, you've already given me special attention, so you'll be able to spot me as soon as I appear..."

"I already said it was a slip of the tongue."

"Do you think I believe you?"

“…” Alicia sighed.

You'd be a fool to believe that.

It was precisely because Alicia knew that her subsequent explanations were rather weak and unconvincing that she decided to make a runaway.

However, I didn't expect Chen Luo to have blocked the door.

"So guess what? Someone who can monitor me constantly in the present civilization, not just in the Paradise of the Past, yet cannot observe me in the Sea of ​​Quanta, and who always feels like some celestial being is spying on me whenever I go to the previous civilization... The conclusion is quite clear, isn't it?"

“According to the contract, Alicia, you lost. And the loser has to accept the predetermined punishment, right?” Chen Luo asked.

"Sigh, who knew that the destined person you spoke of would be your future... no, your past self! You cheated!"

Heaven has forsaken me; it is not my fault in battle!

Alicia had thought that the destined person Chen Luo mentioned when signing the contract might be someone who had accidentally wandered into the Paradise of Past Lives and inadvertently guessed her identity as the agent based on a few words she had spoken…

But who could have imagined that the person destined for him would be Chen Luo himself?

"But my current identity does not violate the requirements and conditions of the destined person, does it?"

"Firstly, I haven't experienced the contract events that occurred in the previous civilization, and I'm not a party to them yet. Secondly, I'm not a hero from the Paradise of the Past. Thirdly, I'm not even 30 years old... So how can I not be considered a destined person?" Chen Luo said confidently.

"You're cheating! If I'm not mistaken, you must have already guessed the identities of the five werewolves correctly, won the game, and then signed the contract with us in the last moments of the previous civilization, right? There was no way you could have lost!"

Alicia didn't sense anything wrong when the contract was signed, but now it seems like it was a trap!

So you're trying to back out?

Alicia is right, Chen Luo never intended to lose.

“No, a bet is a bet. You’ve already fulfilled my customized wish, so fulfilling yours in exchange isn’t out of the question,” Alicia said quite readily.

Accepting the consequences of a bet is also a kind of style.

"Hmm? Ellie, what is your wish?" The Herrscher of Knowledge leaned closer, somewhat curious.

"Of course... I've met you, my lovely little Herrscher of Knowledge." Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge offering herself up, Alicia accepted without hesitation!

"Uuuuuuu..."

Seeing the Lawbringer of Knowledge walk right into the trap, Chen Luo suddenly thought of a magical creature from Northeast China—the roe deer.

"Since you've already admitted defeat, shouldn't you change how you address me?" Chen Luo tapped the Book of Contracts.

"Ahem, it really should be changed, darling..." Alicia cleared her throat.

"Hmm?" The Herrscher of Knowledge struggled even more fiercely in Alicia's arms.

Honey?

Are we playing this big?

I see you don't take me, the Law Master, seriously!

How dare you call me that to my face?

This will show you what the empress is!

"Cough cough." Even Chen Luo, who had expected this, was choked by Alicia and coughed twice.

“…Brother Chen Luo.” Alicia winked playfully.

The Herald of Knowledge slowed his struggle, but Abby instantly became alert!

Chapter 1164 Abyss Passage Consciousness: You won't even call me "baby" once!

"Alright, Brother Chen Luo, you've found the first agent, but there are still four left. Keep up the good work! Otherwise... I don't think you'd want to know what Möbius's wish was." Alicia patted Chen Luo on the shoulder and said with a smile.

He looked somewhat gloating.

"you know?"

"I don't know, but I can probably guess." Alicia shook her head.

"Everyone's wishes are kept secret. In fact, if you don't choose to become an agent, you can't even remember your own wishes. You will only know them after you win or lose."

Choosing to become a werewolf is actually a very difficult decision.

Becoming a werewolf allows one to become an agent of the Honkai consciousness, temporarily wielding its power.

Although this power is limited to making it easier to observe the world, it is definitely a huge temptation for heroes who cannot leave their former paradise.

For a civilization that we have sacrificed our lives to continue, simply being able to observe it is enough to make us content.

But as an agent, this is all I can do.

The direction of the Honkai consciousness has already been set, and unless Chen Luo directly takes over, no one else can change it. The agents can only make minor, insignificant changes to the details within this overall direction.

However, Chen Luo cannot log in now because he has not yet obtained this identity.
