What Are You Doing, Sister Taza!?

"You guys need to do your jobs well. I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch when I get back!"

As Anna walked away, she waved to Durandal other girl, giving them instructions with a bright and pure smile.

"Okay... okay."

Durandal's expression froze as she suppressed the urge to question Anna about whether she remembered being Valkyrie, managing only an awkward yet polite smile.

But as the female leader turned around, her hair fluttering lightly past her nose, Durandal involuntarily gasped and froze.

"Don't you need help? What are you standing there for? Come this way."

"You..."

"What's wrong with me? Don't I look good?"

"No, I, um, how come you..."

Durandal frantically tried to say something.

Yae Sakura gave her a questioning look.

The female leader in front had already walked away on her own.

Durandal gritted her teeth, grabbed Yae Sakura's hand, and quickly followed after her.

Walk to a secluded corner and turn into an area that no outsider can see.

Then Durandal stammered, hesitantly asking:

"You, that, isn't it..."

"What is it? Just do your job. Can you please stop trying to curry favor with your superiors? Taking shortcuts won't get you anywhere, Lady Yulan Dai'er~~"

"Rita!!!"

Durandal blushed and growled in a low voice, suppressing her anger.

The female leader opposite, who did not look like Rita, raised her index finger and gently placed it on her rosy, translucent lips, silently blinking her captivating eyes.

Charm is a subtle thing. Some people can still make you want to clench your thighs even if they change their face. Rita Rossweisse is such a charming person.

"Rita, what are you doing here?"

"I also want to ask how Durandal and Lady Sakura ended up here? Do you know how much effort and resources Rita put into infiltrating this place? Before she even figured out what was going on, she found Lady Durandal and Lady Sakura working on the construction site just like the insiders..."

A hint of resentment and grievance flickered in Rita's naturally alluring gem-like eyes, making her even more endearing and tempting.

To be honest, Rita was quite devastated.

It's like a top hacker painstakingly hacking and cutting off the power to an enemy's base, only to find a couple of days later that an outsider from the neighboring department has done the same thing—their method was to befriend the enemy's cleaning lady and get her to unplug the power cord.

"Ahem! Anyway, Rita, let's exchange some information and see how to get close to Cocolia."

"As for Rita, we've arranged a construction site accident. It won't hurt anyone, but it'll be enough for her to report to the base leadership in person. If handled properly, there's a good chance she'll be able to see Cocolia. If not, we'll think of another way."

"Well, Anna said she's very close to Cocolia and goes to her house every day. She can just take us there on her way."

"..."

Rita stared intently at the wall, as if she could see Anna working happily through it.

At that moment, Rita felt a darkness engulf her vision. Her professional skills as an expert in infiltration and assassination seemed to be ground down and rubbed hard by some indescribable force.

"Then, let's proceed in parallel. Lady Anna's situation might not be entirely smooth either, right? We still need a backup plan, right?"

Rita forced a smile, hoping to maintain her dignity.

Durandal nodded businesslike, acknowledging Rita's meticulous approach.

But Yae Sakura gently patted Rita's shoulder, her small mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally gave her a gentle, encouraging smile.

Then Rita finally stopped laughing. She simply touched the red hat on her head that symbolized her class, walked out, and didn't say a word.

Chapter 191 Sister Ta Zi, what are you doing?!

As Durandal and Yae Sakura smoothly blended into the construction site with Anna's help, Cocolia, who witnessed it all, suddenly felt dizzy.

"My script wasn't like this..."

Her script is like a gem appearing in the East Sea, heroes vying for it, waves rolling hundreds of feet high, and the blazing sun shining in the sky—in plain terms, it's about defeating Durandal until she doubts she's outdated, and defeating Otto until he exclaims that times have changed.

Only then could Otto truly begin to consider including Yae Sakura in his plan to reach the top, otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle so many variables.

A short while later, a report of two suspicious individuals appearing at the construction site was submitted to Cocolia's computer.

This gave her some comfort.

The long-term operation and the consistent practice of keeping the funds allocated to subordinate departments to the maximum extent have yielded results.

Rita, with her professional skills and methods, could normally hide for a few more days. But Durandal's impromptu plan, devised on the spur of the moment without even changing her expression, was bound to be caught red-handed by the intelligence personnel at the East Sea Base!

"The blonde is Durandal, and the pink-haired one is probably Otto's hidden trump card. Just keep an eye on her, but don't alert her. Also, keep an eye on that female manager; she's Rita Rossweisse."

Cocolia casually sent out the message, not caring how the intelligence chief's heart stopped upon receiving it; she was just racking her brains about how to revise the script.

"It seems that I still have to rely on Otto for the actual scriptwriting. I really can't grasp the magical reality."

Cocolia sighed.

"Durandal, Sakura, hurry up, dinner's ready!"

Around noon, Anna couldn't wait and dragged the two of them to the cafeteria.

She gave up her perfectly good S-rank Valkyrie to come here and work in the sea, just because the atmosphere here is great and the food is amazing!

Nothing can stop a passionate and beautiful young woman with Kaslana blood flowing through her veins from chasing after delicious food.

For example Durandal had already swallowed hard. She hadn't eaten for a while while chasing after Kuerla, and she was starving.

"Uncle Hu, I'm here for dinner again, hehe!"

"I know, I know, you want more meat, right? Eat more, you need to be well-fed to grow strong and do great things!"

"Thank you, Uncle Hu!"

Anna deftly collected her own deluxe lunch from the food window, and then casually got one for Durandal and Yae Sakura as well.

The three of them found a corner to sit down and began stuffing themselves with food—mainly Anna and the starving Durandal were stuffing themselves, while Yae Sakura was more elegant and mindful of her image.

"Sakura, this won't do. It doesn't look like you're here to work. You need to be more outgoing."

Durandal nudged Yae Sakura with her elbow and whispered a reminder.

Yae Sakura nodded blankly.

Oh, it seems that only Anna, who is used to freedom, has let loose. Durandal still remembers etiquette and rules. She wolfed down her food for the need to infiltrate the disguise—it was probably just an act, right?

Looking at Durandal's satisfied expression, with her eyes narrowed to slits, Yae Sakura became a little uncertain.

Anyway, the lunch was quite good.

Durandal felt much more at ease. At least in terms of food, her friend hadn't suffered any hardship here. Look at Anna's fair and rosy cheeks, she's even a little plumper than before, and her smile is as sweet as honey. You can tell at a glance that she hasn't suffered any misery.

Cocolia wasn't that heartless; at least she was quite magnanimous when it came to Anna —for that reason alone, she could go a little easier on Anna when they met later.

"Durandal, hurry up, the road is still quite long, we can't delay starting work this afternoon. Cocolia dotes on her daughter. Usually, unless there's something important, she'll come home and have lunch with them. If you want to see her, now's the perfect opportunity, otherwise you'll have to wait until evening."

Anna turned back and urged them on from ahead.

She was laughing happily, eagerly anticipating Cocolia would reward her with something delicious later, completely unaware of what her friend was planning to do.

Suddenly, Anna's smile vanished, and her steps became heavy.

"Anna, what's wrong?"

"Durandal, you have no idea what I gave up for you."

"Ah?"

"I'll get my salary in a few days, and it's increased quite a bit this month! But once Lady Cocolia sees you, I probably won't get it, and might even have some deducted! I'm so worried!"

Anna looked at her friend with a sullen expression.

Durandal's lips twitched, unable to speak—don't count on this little bit of salary. It was my mistake to forget about you before. This time, I'll just take you with me. I won't let you stay in the enemy camp any longer!

In order not to affect the mission, Durandal kept these words to herself and did not say them aloud.

"That house over there is Cocolia's? It doesn't look that nice."

"Lady Cocolia isn't a noblewoman. A two-story house is enough for her family to live in. What's the point of something so luxurious?" That's what she said herself.

"He sets a good example; he must have a high reputation in the base, right?"

"Of course! From Iron Pilot to clerical staff, from workers to cleaning ladies, everyone in the base speaks highly of Lady Cocolia!"

Anna proudly puffed out her chest.

She gestured for the two to wait outside, then knocked on the door herself.

Annie, expressionless, opened the door and held out a black stick to Anna, who was beaming with smiles.

"Sizzle!"

"Ugh!"

"Thump!"

After a flurry of dancing and gesturing, Anna collapsed at the doorway, foaming at the mouth, and was eventually kicked into the house by Xing.

Anzu casually closed the door, picked up the slender black sword that Cocolia had specially made for her, and walked down the stairs step by step.

It was a modern version of the Divine Key, a fusion of Soul Steel and the Thousand-Person Herrscher Core. It was highly adaptable and incredibly sharp. Combined with An's own time-manipulation abilities, its power was unfathomable.

If Cocolia hadn't been so reluctant to let An leave home, An would have already distinguished herself and been remembered by many.

"How dare you come to my doorstep? Do you think we Anti-Entropy are all fools?"

Durandal was about to respond when she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes. Instinctively, she took a step back and saw a thin, long cut on the floor where she had been standing.

"Watch out, she's too fast!"

After dodging, Durandal had time to warn Yae Sakura, then casually tore open her work clothes, revealing the golden Valkyrie armor, and the Black Abyss White Flower that had been placed in the distance finally flew into her hand.

It's not speed, it's time.

Anzu has mastered three basic abilities: time stop, time speed up, and time decelerate. However, the magnitude of these abilities is small, and their range and duration are limited. But in most close-quarters combat, these three abilities are enough to make Anzu virtually invincible.

Durandal didn't know that Xing would vomit blood and collapse if she bumped into her head. She only knew that the speed was too dangerous. Her nerves, which were already on edge because she was in the enemy camp, suddenly became completely tense.

Because it's definitely not just Xing who's waiting for them here!

As expected, a blue energy shield suddenly appeared in the sky, composed of hexagonal energy shields pieced together, resembling a giant tortoise shell that had been removed. Just by looking at the thickness of those Adamant Shield, one could tell that breaking through would not be easy.

At the same time, Ninti, with her golden hair and purple eyes, resembling a porcelain doll, slowly landed beside Xing, wagging her sharp-toothed tail, her expression utterly expressionless.

"My mother said that if we surrender, we can suffer less."

"Please tell her for me that I don't want to deal with the child. Can I have a few other opponents?"

Durandal said helplessly.

How could she not know how formidable Ninti was? In the last battle against Chiyou, this little girl first forcibly separated Ji Lin and Chiyou's avatars, and later defeated Delta. She was at a level where she could single-handedly defeat Herrscher.

Add to that the apricot, whose background is unclear.

Durandal's heart sank. She felt that her attempt to capture Cocolia was a mistake. Her side's strength was probably not as overwhelming as she had imagined.

"Fortunately, Rita is still outside..."

Durandal was relieved.

Then Cocolia walked from a distance to the edge of the defensive shield, followed by a beautiful woman wearing a red hat, raising her hands, and looking embarrassed.

Cocolia, holding a megaphone that she probably just picked up from the construction site, shouted inside:

"Surrender, Durandal, or I'll smash her head in!"

"..."

Okay, we're in a desperate situation now. We don't need to think of any other tricks. The only way out is to fight our way out.

Before that, Rita, how can I save you?
