Leave It to the Professionals

Kitsune Saiguu wrapped his arms around Liu Bai's neck from behind—but not with force, more like an intimate gesture.

"Then, Lord Liu Bai, tell me, whose shape is the best among those present?"

Kitsune Saiguu smiled and gave Liu Bai a life-or-death question.

"Shape?" Ying still looked like she hadn't quite grasped the concept.

"The shape of your breasts," Kitsune Saiguu didn't try to hide it.

The two girls next to her had clearly realized what was happening; could Ying really expect her to react on her own?

Even Kitsune Saiguu wasn't sure if Shadow had actually noticed the change in the Yae Miko's clothes.

"Huh? Isn't this a bit inappropriate to talk about this now?"

Kamisato Ayaka is still a good girl—after all, she is a rich young lady, and the boldest remarks she usually hears come from the Yae Miko.

"... Indeed, these are not helpful remarks," Sara chimed in from the side.

"..."

(Ayaka is simply unfamiliar with the situation, and Kage doesn't have that kind of mindset yet... but Sara seems to have a tiny bit of expectation amidst her resistance? Tsk tsk, is that what charm is?)

In fact, it was already quite impressive that Liu Bai was able to build a good relationship with Kujou Sara in such a short time, in Kitsune Saiguu's opinion.

Kujou Sara's personal flaws are well understood by Kitsune Saiguu.

Although she is not cold-hearted, she always has a cold face and is particularly rigid in her actions.

As a result, Kujou Sara, who is not difficult to get along with and is the type to be strict with himself and lenient with others, has no friends—although sometimes rigid adherence to rules can be seen as being strict with others.

The real challenge is knowing when to dare to be with Kujou Sara.

Not everyone dares to associate with a cold, aloof woman who always has a cat-like face and holds a high position of power.

In reality, although Kujou Sara and Kamisato Ayaka are standing together now, their relationship is simply that of acquaintances.

If she could avoid it, Kamisato Ayaka would definitely be willing to avoid Kujou Sara.

(Well, if you think about it, you'll realize that Liu Bai is definitely not afraid of Sara.)

Add to that Liu Bai's subtle control over the sense of distance, and these two really are the type who can be friends.

Hmm... Kitsune Saiguu really can't praise Liu Bai for his excellent control over distance—after all, his words just now didn't really convey any sense of distance.

However, it's important to understand that not everyone wants to maintain a sense of distance.

Sometimes, being a little "appropriate" and not knowing your limits isn't necessarily annoying.

Not everyone is petty and calculating. Most people, once they get into a conversation, will not care about boundaries unless they talk about sensitive topics.

Therefore, Kitsune Saiguu felt that Liu Bai's social skills were surprisingly strong.

No, if you think about it that way, Liu Bai even restrained Sara.

Kitsune Saiguu thought for a moment and realized that if Liu Bai wanted to win over Sara, even without this real incident, it probably wouldn't take more than a week.

Liu Bai smashed open the outer shell of the robe in Sara two moves.

Even Kitsune Saiguu couldn't imagine what it would be like if a strong woman like Kujou Sara, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, fell in love.

"Go ahead and say it. Nobody here will bother you."

Kitsune Saiguu continued to instigate—she was also the kind of person who had a subtle ability to control distance, but was also good at socializing!

"Hmm... would you tighten it a little more?"

"Hmm~~"

With a smiling expression, Kitsune Saiguu tightened his grip on Liu Bai.

"...lecher."

Realizing what Liu Bai meant Kujou Sara spat out a curse and then added another sentence.

"Colluding with each other in evil deeds."

Yae Miko is absolutely right.

Neither of them are good people, and together they're even worse.

Kujou Sara didn't want to get involved in the topic anymore and left directly.

"Huh?" Kamisato Ayaka was also taken aback. "Um, Kitsune Saiguu- miya..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's alright... Liu Bai, tell me, which one of us is the wolf and which one is the jackal?" Kitsune Saiguu was having a lot of fun.

Liu Bai and I are truly on the same wavelength.

In the past, no one would pay attention to my jokes.

It's not fun when the Yae Miko grows up.

According to the idiom, the one on top is a wolf, and the one below is a jackal.

"Pah, you lecherous scoundrel."

Kitsune Saiguu also imitated Kujou Sara, but unlike Kujou Sara who kept a straight face, Kitsune Saiguu was clearly one of laughter and scolding.

Then, Kitsune Saiguu released Liu Bai.

"Alright, alright, Sara, you haven't gone far and you're back already~ Now let's get down to business~"

Kitsune Saiguu shouted something towards the door, and a moment later, Kujou Sara returned.

"Let's begin assigning tasks."

"Um."

Liu Bai projected the map from the bracelet onto the screen.

"Look, this is a map of the entire Sky Dome Zone. Recently, due to the Herrscher, small-scale Honkai have been occurring more and more frequently in the Sky Dome Zone."

Everyone present nodded.

To be honest, the reason for this situation is probably not just the Herrscher of a Thousand People; Kiana also has to bear some of the blame—or perhaps most of it.

After all, in terms of sheer power, the Second Herrscher is far stronger than the Dominator.

"We don't need to worry about the small-scale Honkai in the city; the Undying Blade and the Valkyries Stormtroopers will handle them."

Everyone nodded in unison again, indicating that they could trust this aspect.

I've only ever heard of Otto's backstab, never Valkyries's. I can rest assured that this is handled by Valkyries, both tactically and in terms of responsibility.

So our target is the suburbs?

Kujou Sara had previously fought monsters with Liu Bai in the suburbs, so she knew a little about Liu Bai's tactics.

"That's right, the suburbs. The intensity of the Honkai in the suburbs is lower than that in the city, but correspondingly, there are also more unstable elements lurking in the suburbs."

"Why not just kill them all?"

Raiden Ei seems to have been made without any thought.

"At this distance in the suburbs... as long as you control your strength..."

"Shut up, ancestor."

Kitsune Saiguu pressed down on Shadow's head.

Would it kill you to use your brain?

If you take your time and make a big move, the world situation will become tense.

"... The uncertainties you need to face are mainly the five Herrschers and the Honkai (Herrscher and assassins) driven by the Herrschers. The Honkai Beasts can all be killed, but the Honkai zombie... If possible, I hope to kidnap some high-level Honkai zombie —of course, if we encounter Herrscher, we should capture them alive as well."

Liu Bai spoke up.

The plan for the Honkai zombie Squad Ranch cannot be delayed.

In the past, when there were fewer people, we could only use single-threaded operation. Now that there are so many people, is it reasonable not to use multi-threaded operation?

"This time, the individual Herrscher isn't very strong, but if we're not confident, we'll leave it at that. Safety first."

"No problem."

Capturing a Honkai zombie or a Herrscher is perfectly understandable.

After all, it's no secret that Liu Bai keeps Honkai zombie on the nearby island; it's normal scientific research.

—Although Kujou Sara already felt that Liu Bai's purpose might not be so simple.

"Then came the division of areas..."

Liu Bai circled two plots of land on the map.

"Each of you choose one side. As for the restraint equipment, I will have World Serpent provide it."

Speaking of which, Mobius is also coming to make a Raiden Makoto, and Liu Bai still needs to discuss this matter.

No one present had any objections. After Liu Bai reiterated the strategy of avoiding battle with the Undying Blade and the Stormtroopers, the meeting ended.

Then Liu Bai pulled Kitsune Saiguu aside for a private chat.

"Hmm... Dr. Mobius?" After listening to Liu Bai's brief explanation, Kitsune Saiguu nodded without much thought. "If you are still the attending physician, we have no objection."

Chapter 112 Professionals are still needed.

The requirements of the Kitsune Saiguu are simple—though somewhat unpleasant to hear.

After all, that sounds like a lack of trust in Mobius —well, it does.

After all, with the addition of "miracles" like Yi Liu Bai, Lin Wuqi, Lun Hu Zhai, Si Gong, or anyone else, Ling Bu Meng doesn't hope that someone will come along shouting about science and interfere.

It's not contempt for science, but simply pragmatism.

Moreover, how could they not know how slim the chances of curing their general are from a scientific perspective?

Their initial attempt to find Mobius was a last-ditch effort when they had no other options.

Now that Liu Bai is here, they naturally have less enthusiasm for Mobius.

Since Liu Bai has spoken, she has no objections as long as Mobius doesn't overstep his bounds—after all, Liu Bai is the boss now.

"I'm relieved to hear that. I'll go make lunch."

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to Natasha as he left, asking her to bring Mobius over.

... The reason why Liu Bai didn't go is very simple.

He didn't want to smell any more strange odors.

The Jackal's condition was so distressing that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who saw it.

An hour later, Natasha successfully brought Mobius to her home.

Good afternoon, the Doctor.

"Good afternoon, little guinea pig. You're really getting more and more important now. I have to come and see you."

Mobius smiled and reached out to pinch Liu Bai's chin.

"Will I have to call Natasha to ask if I want to see you in the future?"

Natasha: "..."

Am I an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire?

"..."

Liu Bai didn't know how to answer. Was Mobius angry?

"Ahem, there's a reason for this, there's a reason for this."

"Heh... Alright, I'll let you off this time. Did Inazuma's people cause you any trouble?"

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mobius hadn't really taken it too seriously, and had only mentioned it jokingly.

"There are no problems, and the doctor-patient relationship is harmonious."

"Hmm... that's good." Mobius nodded. "Where is he? In your flask?"

"Right."
