Fu Hua's expression was serious: "In short, it couldn't have been an accident."
"This is indeed the usual style of that Bishop of Destiny, although most of the time his actions seem like a gamble..."
"But in reality, he placed his pieces at every point where there was room for maneuver."
Kiana felt a chill run down her spine: "You mean, every step of our plan right now is actually under that guy's control?"
"It's hard to say..." Fu Hua shook his head: "He might have guessed that this place would be a breakthrough; or he might have calculated that it was you and me who came here—there's a big difference between the two."
"If it's the second scenario, he will definitely have other backup plans."
"Should we try contacting Dr. Tesla?"
Fu Hua shook his head: "Don't rush. We can't draw a conclusion immediately as to why the energy reaction doesn't match the detector's results."
"If Otto somehow blocked the signal, that would be insignificant, but if he has a way to monitor us in real time, doing so would only expose more flaws."
Kiana hesitated for a moment before asking, "So... can we stick to our original route and directly break through the enemy lines? Wouldn't that be... too reckless?"
Fu Hua shook her head: "No, in situations where we can't rashly contact our companions, remaining unchanged in the face of change is also a form of [adaptability]."
"Moreover, we have the capability to quickly defeat these enemies before us."
Kiana seemed quite happy after the plan was finalized:
"Hehe, as long as we defeat the enemy in front of us as soon as possible, we can still achieve the effect of a [surprise attack]. Is that what you mean, squad leader?"
Fu Hua chuckled and said, "Yes, in actual combat, taking the initiative is always the most important thing."
After the dialogue, the game enters the combat phase.
While attacking the monsters, Alicia was surprised to see Otto's figure in the distance.
Meanwhile, the chat was constantly urging, "[Aili, Aili, hurry up and cut down that Otto in front!!]"
Unfortunately, Otto was a character outside the battlefield.
Even if Alicia wanted to cut it, she couldn't.
This battle was very easy.
After Alicia dealt with them one by one, the game played another short video.
"Kiana!"
Fu Hua quickly looked around, but did not find Kiana.
"Were they separated during the battle...? We must find her quickly."
"But... if this was also part of that person's plan, why did he insist on separating us?"
……
Fu Hua thought a lot; Otto's thoughts were really hard to guess.
Even after working under Otto for many years, he still couldn't see through that man.
However, just as Fu Hua was struggling with whether to go find Kiana first or still carry out the [Assault] plan, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the distance.
Fu Hua recognized it at a glance; that dazzling flame was definitely Kiana.
"Such a serious stance—who is the enemy?"
Without hesitation, Fu Hua headed straight for the place where the flames were burning.
"...That's what I wanted to tell you too."
"I'll defeat you before the squad leader gets here."
Fu Hua had just arrived when she immediately heard Kiana's serious and earnest words.
In front of Kiana stood a slender, lively girl with brown twin ponytails.
"Rakshasa, your plan has gone wrong again! Even the opponent you agreed on is different..."
Just as Li Sushang was talking to herself, she also saw Fu Hua rushing over.
"Wait!" She gestured for Kiana to pause, then looked at Fu Hua with a grin:
"You'll have to wait another day if you want to defeat me, because my great master is here!"
Fu Hua also recognized Li Sushang, and her expression showed great surprise.
"It's you……"
"Grandmaster, cough...Grandmaster Chi Yuan, it's been a long time~"
Fu Hua: "..."
"Indeed, it's been... five hundred years, hasn't it? I never imagined you'd still be alive. But..."
"That's definitely something that man would do."
Li Sushang smiled brightly, her eyes curving into two crescent moons: "Right? I was startled when I woke up too~"
"However, although times have changed, the people from five hundred years ago are still here—it feels like a dream..."
At this moment, Kiana also noticed something was wrong.
These two... actually know each other?!
Moreover, they even said it had been five hundred years since they last met...
"The class monitor? She is..."
“It’s an old friend…” Fu Hua seemed unwilling to explain too much: “Let’s not talk about things that are hard to explain—are you alright, Kiana?”
"I'm fine~" Kiana shook her head: "But class monitor, you have to be careful, she looks like one of Otto's subordinates."
Li Sushang immediately retorted to Kiana's words: "Who is a subordinate of the Rakshasa people!"
"What 'Valkyrie' title? That guy just gave it to me without my consent—I don't want to be that kind of person."
After a pause, Li Sushang added, "Don't misunderstand, the Rakshasa saved my life, that's why I agreed to help him fight—"
"But he only asked me to stop Grandmaster Chi Yuan, he didn't say there would be any help? One-on-one is fine, but I can't beat two of them."
"This is such a bad deal. Aren't the Rakshasa people overestimating me?"
Upon hearing Li Sushang's words, Fu Hua's expression turned serious.
She was right after all.
All of this was within Otto's calculations.
Even her coming here was calculated perfectly.
"Kiana, you... might have to go first."
"If I'm not mistaken, the two of us working together can indeed leave her helpless... but..."
"It will also hinder our mission... In the worst-case scenario, she might defeat me while holding you back for a long time."
……
Seeing this, countless viewers became excited.
But at the same time, he was also extremely surprised by Fu Hua's words.
Was Fu Hua telling the truth, or was she just being modest?
She actually thought that, in a one-on-two situation, Li Sushang had the ability to defeat Fu Hua while also holding off Kiana.
Is Li Sushang really that strong?!
[Holy crap? Is this for real? Li Sushang is that powerful?]
At first, I thought Kiana could handle her all by herself...
I think that's impossible... As everyone knows, the Immortal is famously humble.
[This performance wasn't perfect.]
[Can you please be quiet in the comments? It's ruining my viewing experience (lol)]
[It's coming soon! The battle between the grandmaster and his grand-disciple!!]
[Come out quickly, treasure hunter! Lend me your power! (laughs)]
[Treasure Hunting: Scammer, get out of here!]
……
in the game.
Faced with Fu Hua's words, Li Sushang shook her head helplessly.
"To be honest, I don't have confidence, Master..."
Li Sushang gives players the impression of being... a girl who is guileless, incredibly frank, and decisive.
Therefore, her words are far more credible than those of the immortals.
Fu Hua didn't deny it: "To achieve that kind of thing, you naturally need to pay a considerable price."
