Chapter 184: Can Stay Occasionally

Arriving at Wuwang Hill once more, Qin Yu instinctively scanned her surroundings, clinging to a faint hope of spotting that familiar figure. But even after the tomb sweeping was done, she saw no sign of her.

Qin Yu let out a deep sigh, her mood wistful but not grief-stricken.

This time, she had come prepared. Incense, fruit, wine, paper... she hadn't forgotten a single thing.

As she watched the paper slowly turn to ash, Qin Yu suddenly realized that her Teacher's reluctance ...

Chapter 183: Loser Aura

"If you accept me, I'll be your sanctuary—a place where you can rest. I can even lend you a hand in your daily life, helping you maintain your disguise more effectively," Hu Tao had said.

She had seen through my facade and chosen to tear it down.

Fortunately, she hadn't revealed the truth yet. Everything remained as it was... at least on the surface.

But Qin Yu still hesitated about accepting Hu Tao's "deal."

If she refused, even though the situation had changed, it ...

Chapter 182: Cinderella

"I don't understand how the conversation suddenly turned into this," Qin Yu protested, expressing her bewilderment.

Hu Tao tutted and shook her head. "Fishy Treasure, didn't you want proof?"

"I didn't."

Qin Yu suspected, or rather, she was certain, that the "proof" Hu Tao mentioned would involve using her mouth. It was incomprehensible, irrational, and utterly nonsensical. How could anyone accept such a thing?

Hu Tao continued blithely, "Think about it—people don't k...

Chapter 181: Proving with a Kiss

Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, Qin Yu's heart stopped for a moment. A chill ran down her spine, spreading through her entire body.

"Hu Tao, what are you saying?" Qin Yu tried to put up one last resistance.

But Hu Tao simply crossed her arms, ruthlessly tearing away the last veil Qin Yu had wrapped around herself.

"Isn't that enough already?"

"..."

Qin Yu had no reply. She could only turn her face away, distractedly fiddling with her bracelet, looking utterly lost.<...

Chapter 35: You Follow My Lead, I Follow Cifera's...Perfect!

At the same time,

Lin Zhiyuan, Zhang Hong, and Feng Chiyu were rushing to Liu Ruyan's location.

In their armored vehicle, they watched the live footage Cifera shared from her phone.

Witnessing firsthand how Cifera, posing as Liu Ruyan's husband, tricked the two kidnappers and bought them precious time for the rescue, Zhang Hong repeatedly exclaimed, "Brilliant!"

As an elite special forces operative, he saw the kidnappers as mere amateurs. Given enough time, he was conf...

Chapter 34: May Everyone Take Contestant Cifera as an Example

With those words, Cifera temporarily left the Pursuit Team's voice channel and picked up her phone to make a call.

Liu Ruyan had been kidnapped to a cheap, single-story rental house in a remote corner of an urban village.

Inside the rental house, the masked kidnapper who was brutally beating Liu Ruyan was startled by the sudden ringtone of his phone. It was a popular song by a young pop idol—"Melancholy and Loneliness Together."

This volatile, masked kidnapper, much taller...

Chapter 33: Leave it to me. If I say I can do it, I'll make it happen!

This sudden anomaly caught the Production Team completely off guard.

However, similar incidents had occurred in overseas regions before, so the program already had contingency plans in place.

The Chief Director acted decisively, immediately notifying all viewers that the live broadcast would be temporarily suspended. Once the anomaly was resolved, the footage would be replayed for the audience as soon as possible.

The purpose was clear: to prevent the real criminals from lea...

Chapter 32: Go Get 'Em, Cifera the Cat Cop!

The sudden shift in the bullet comments' attitude was easily explained:

Viewers had finally recognized the "suspicious individual" Teacher Wang Lei had pointed out in the footage.

It turned out to be none other than Night Shadow, the legendary "Grandchild of the Phantom Thief," whom they had previously imagined as the mastermind behind the entire operation.

The live stream's camera cut was nothing short of brilliant, radiating a dark, absurd sense of humor.

When the sc...

Chapter 31: The Grandchild of the Phantom Thief is Mysterious and Unpredictable, Full of Tricks and Undoubtedly Has More Tricks Up His Sleeve

The pursuit operation resumed.

Using the intelligence provided by Cifera, the Pursuit Team quickly pinpointed the contestants' location again.

The contestants hadn't moved far from their last known position, proving they hadn't been fleeing at all during the Pursuit Team's rest period—

They were resting too!

After drawing this conclusion, the Pursuit Team members were now 100% certain that their intelligence had been leaked.

Clearly, unless they could find the ...

Chapter 183: The Basement

Perseus suddenly appeared behind the High Elf Councilor and patted him on the shoulder. The two had been old friends for sixty or seventy years. With a warm smile, Perseus opened his arms, ready to embrace his friend warmly when he turned around.

But the pat seemed to startle the High Elf, who immediately spun around and took several steps back, his face etched with surprise.

Perseus froze for a moment, then leaned forward to glance out the window in the direction the High Elf had...

Chapter 268: The Goldie's Third Sunset (Not Yet)

Leonidas I of Sparta stood as the final line of defense. Gilgamesh's servants had all been deployed, but their overwhelming numerical disadvantage made any effective resistance impossible.

"This is humanity's last stand! I will absolutely not let you pass!" Leonidas declared, his spear aimed directly at Jiang You. Summoned to protect the Human Order, he couldn't comprehend why Jiang You, a fellow Heroic Spirit, would act in such a way.

"Let them witness the true spirit of Sparta!"...

Chapter 267: Everyone's Slacking Off—Don't Be a Tryhard!

"Lord Minamoto no Yorimitsu...!"

Ushiwakamaru hadn't expected to encounter her ancestor under such circumstances. Strangely, she felt a flicker of joy. Family members shouldn't be slaughtering each other, yet she couldn't bring herself to relinquish this opportunity. She yearned to measure herself against the legendary figure of her clan, to savor this hard-earned chance for combat. "Then let us clash, Ushiwakamaru... No, at this moment I should call myself—Minamoto no Yoshitsune, at ...

Chapter 266: Flying Dragons in Your Face—How Can You Lose?

"My King, a massive swarm of Flying Dragon-types has appeared to the south, initially estimated at around three hundred. Based on your usual assessment methods, they'll enter our archers' range in approximately ten minutes."

Siduri immediately reported the intelligence gathered by scouts outside Uruk to Gilgamesh. "There's been no activity from the Magical Beasts in the north for three days now, only sporadic movements."

"Well done, but there's no need to waste arrows. Given the F...

Chapter 265: Final Showdown - Flying Dragon's Face

Eresh was right. In the original timeline, Illya's purpose as the Lesser Grail was to help the Einzbern family win the Holy Grail War and obtain the Holy Grail. Her potential was pushed to its absolute limit, limiting her lifespan to only the duration of the Holy Grail War.

However, the game's timeline progressed in real-world time. Very few games lasted a full decade, let alone a collaborative event like this. By then, Konami would likely shift its focus to other ventures. After all, a...

Chapter 264: Eresh, Why Have You Joined the Enemy?

Even though Eresh felt this wasn't her concern, she inexplicably felt a pang of guilt. She had already resolved to leave the Underworld and experience the dazzling world outside. Therefore, she would inevitably agree to Jiang You's request.

Illya finally let Jiang You off the hook, understanding that he needed to forge connections with others to strengthen his abilities while searching for his lost Deck.

"No matter who you seek out later, you must report to me first! Understand?"<...

Chapter 30: Cifera's Disciples Are Popping Champagne!

Cifera delivered the line while looking directly at Nie Bing beside her.

The sight of Nie Bing's feigned composure, barely masking her inner turmoil, amused Cifera immensely.

Nie Bing knew Cifera was deliberately teasing her, but she couldn't react without breaking character. After all, she was currently supposed to be "unconscious."

If her slip-up led to Cifera's exposure, she would be violating the show's rules—a consequence she refused to accept.

Resigned, Nie Bin...

Chapter 29: How Many Times Must You Be Proven Wrong Before You Believe Cifera Is Unbeatable?

Calming down, Nie Junfeng finally realized the key to the situation.

It was true that Cifera had been detected by the Voice Recognition System, but she hadn't been impersonating Nie Bing. She had simply used Nie Bing's phone to speak.

At this point, the alarm was completely meaningless!

Wait... it did have meaning for Cifera!

Could she have been aware of the Voice Recognition System's existence all along?!

That had to be it.

To mask his embarrassme...

Chapter 28: This Script Seems a Little Off...

Broadcast Studio

Seeing that Nie Bing hadn't insisted on remaining bound for the sake of realism, Nie Junfeng inwardly thanked his lucky stars. The earlier simulated scenario had been sheer torture for him.

Now, watching Cifera on screen, Nie Junfeng abandoned his plan to send her to Thailand.

Others might not have realized it, but he was certain that Cifera had deliberately used her black cloth trickery to shield Nie Bing from further public scrutiny in that humili...

Chapter 27: Director, where's the replay?! Now! Immediately!

"Damn it! Someone tell me what the hell just happened?!"

Chief Director Guo Tao slammed his fist on the table, the impact echoing sharply through the room.

The broadcast director scrambled to check the equipment:

"All systems are operational, signal's fine... Holy shit! How is this even possible?!"

"Cut the 'holy shit' crap! Just tell me what you found!"

Seeing the director charge at him, fists clenched, the broadcast director quickly explained:

"It was all...

Chapter 26: Is This for Real?

Cifera clearly understood the internet. The live stream's Bullet Comments instantly devolved into chaos:

[Holy shit! Are they really going for it? Bondage play? Well, I'm wide awake now!]

[Wait, did I switch to the wrong channel? Can they really show this live?]

[Suggested show title: 'About That Time a Beautiful Detective Voluntarily Asked to Be Tied Up on a Variety Show']

[New Skill added to Nie Bing's resume: Expert at playing the victim (not!)]

[One second: I...

Chapter 182: Priests of the Goddess of Love vs Priest of the Goddess of the Moon

Even after confirming these individuals were Artemis Priests, Aglaea didn't immediately act. Instead, she decided to tail them for a while to see what they were up to.

But in the next moment, as many passersby disdainfully averted their gazes from the Black-Robed figure, their eyes lit up upon spotting Aglaea. They surged forward, excitedly exclaiming:

"It's Lady Aglaea!"

"Lady Aglaea, you look especially beautiful today!"

"May I paint your portrait?"

The crowd b...

Chapter 25: Holy shit! Cifera even knows this?!

[Ha ha! Cifera's ambush moves were so elegant earlier, but this ending is just hilarious!]

[Hmm... this all started with a story about splitting a watermelon.]

[Actually, splitting a watermelon with your bare hands is pretty cool! But did Cifera secretly cut the watermelon beforehand? It's too unbelievable that it split with such a light touch.]

[Clearly, Cifera knows martial arts! This is internal energy at work!]

[Don't talk nonsense! Cifera's agility is impressive, ...

Chapter 24: Wait, you're not thinking of using your hands...

Seeing Cifera waving from the second-floor balcony, Nie Bing felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and familiarity, a feeling she had only ever experienced with family.

She knew why: Cifera was one of her own—someone who not only appreciated the beauty of computer technology but also approached the world with unwavering sincerity.

True, others often called Nie Bing "too serious," but she couldn't help but laugh at their judgment. If taking things too seriously meant being "too se...

Chapter 23: Police Officer Nie Bing, Welcome Back! Heh heh heh~

Broadcast Studio

Nie Junfeng had also witnessed Cifera's sinister smile just moments ago.

That woman is definitely plotting something against Little Bingbing!

But what exactly is it?!

Like the audience—no, even more invested than they were—Nie Junfeng's fists were clenched tightly.

"Inspector Nie, the Bullet Comments are convinced that Contestant Cifera is planning something harmful to Officer Nie Bing. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Heh, this is jus...

Chapter 22: A Cat's Smile, A Fickle Fate

Hearing Cifera's words, Liu Shanhe finally spoke, his voice grave:

"Cifera, you don't need to say such impulsive things. We're a team; mutual trust is the foundation!"

"Exactly, Cifera," Wang Lei chimed in, eager to reassure her. "No one here suspects you. Didn't Little Lin say himself you couldn't possibly be the mole? Just let him finish speaking."

"Old Liu and Teacher Wang Lei are right, Cifera. Please, let me explain," Lin Zhiyuan said, his voice laced with exasperation....

Chapter 21: Has Cifera's Undercover Life Come to an End?

On the Pursuit Team's side, several players had been reported simultaneously.

Based on Cifera's intelligence, they planned to split into three teams, each targeting different suspects.

After completing their initial captures, they would redeploy based on Cifera's updated information, prioritizing targets closest to their current positions.

When fewer than three suspects remained, they would collaborate on coordinated captures until all reported players were eliminated.

Chapter 290: Miss Chevreuse, the Cat-Wife

Inside the Special Task Force's dormitory:

Water cascaded from the showerhead, and Chevreuse closed her eyes, letting the hot water stream over her skin and hair.

"Captain, have you noticed the Phantom Thief White Cat seems different lately?" Turenna called from the next stall.

This was the communal bathroom, equipped with shower stalls and spray nozzles.

Chevreuse casually replied, "Different how? Doesn't she seem the same as always?"

"It's just... how do I put ...

Chapter 289: This Is What It Means to Be the Main Wife!

Luna was astonished that Lynette would let her touch her cat ears.

She hadn't been trying to elicit Lynette's sympathy.

Betraying their promise was an undeniable truth. It was perfectly reasonable for Lynette not to forgive her.

In a world where right and wrong often blurred, one immutable rule remained:

Everyone must pay the price for every choice they make.

"Are you pitying me?" Luna asked with a faint smile.

"How could I be? This isn't pity," Lynette rep...

Chapter 288: Beneath the Mask

This was truly... unexpected.

The Phantom Thief White Cat, a descendant of knights?

Luna's emotions were complex. "Does that mean my mother was a Favonius Knight?"

"More precisely, your grandfather was. Your mother didn't inherit the family tradition. She met your father, who came from Liyue, in Fontaine, and eventually gave birth to you."

From this account, it seemed Arlecchino had thoroughly investigated her entire background.

It still feels so unreal....

Chapter 287: The Phantom Thief's Lineage-Descendants of Justice

Lynette stared intently at Luna, her gaze unwavering.

The grip on Luna's sleeve was firm, but it was only a sleeve. A gentle tug could easily shake it off—as if trying once more to grasp the light she had failed to capture before.

Luna moved her fingertips and gently pressed down on Lynette's hand.

For a fleeting moment, Lynette's eyes flickered wildly, as if the sky were collapsing around her. But the next instant, Luna grasped her little finger.

"I'm sorry."
