I, Herrscher Slayer

After waiting for a while, Shen Gonglin quietly approached the bathroom door. He wasn't some pervert trying to eavesdrop on girls in the bathroom; that would be too pathetic. Shen Gonglin knocked on the door, and Fu Hua's voice from inside was incredibly weak. She sounded like she was on the verge of dehydration.

"What's wrong... I'm sorry, I'll need a little more time."

"It's fine, Class Monitor. Take all the time you need. Handsome guys don't need to use the restroom. I just came to bring you some paper. I folded the paper that was in the bathroom into the shape of a transport ship. I was afraid you wouldn't have any paper, so I brought it over."

Chapter 174: Preparing to Make Contact

"Class Monitor, do you really think this kind of thing is useful? I have a feeling they probably won't even read it."

Standing on tiptoe, Shen Gonglin placed the complaint letter Fu Hua had written in the bathroom into the station's mailbox. He shook his head helplessly. Calling directly or finding someone in charge to hand it to might have been more effective. But this kind of complaint letter, to be honest, Shen Gonglin didn't think it would do much good.

So, the Class Monitor wanted a pen and paper for this? He had thought she was just bored and wanted to draw. After all, he used to fold paper when he was bored, so it was normal for her to draw when bored.

"Whether they read it or not is their business, but whether we do it is ours. Food safety is a very important issue... Come here and help me up. We need to go meet our contact."

Fu Hua's face was as pale as paper. She had spent the latter half of the train journey in the bathroom. Already showing signs of dehydration, she could barely walk steadily. If she had to be unsteady on her feet, Fu Hua would rather have been bitten by Shen Gonglin. This was truly embarrassing. Was this stuff weak or a laxative? She'd never eat "Spring Never Old" again; if she ate it again, she'd be squatting from spring all the way to summer. This was practically killing her.

Unable to stand steady, Fu Hua waved at Shen Gonglin. Shen Gonglin obediently came over and supported her. Her legs must have been numb from squatting. As he supported her, Shen Gonglin reached out to massage her legs. But as soon as he touched her, Fu Hua let out a small scream. Her condition hadn't subsided at all. Being touched by Shen Gonglin made her want to go to the bathroom again.

"What are you doing!"

Fu Hua glared at Shen Gonglin, her face flushed with embarrassment. If she had to squat again, she'd really need medicine. Did Shen Gonglin really want to die? He was practically courting death. Was he that happy to see her embarrassed?

"I'm not doing anything. I saw your legs looked numb, so I wanted to help you massage them. Class Monitor, are you really okay? I think you should see a doctor."

Shen Gonglin blinked innocently. He was genuinely worried about Fu Hua's health. Shen Gonglin was a doctor himself, but he didn't have any medicine. Besides, he felt like he might be a quack doctor, and it would be better for the Class Monitor to go somewhere more reputable. Fu Hua's once rosy and fair face was now as pale as paper. What a tragic girl.

"...Thank you. I misunderstood. But I'm fine, I don't need to see a doctor. It's better to meet up with Himeko and the others quickly. Can you... can you massage my legs?"

So, she had misunderstood. Even in this situation, Shen Gonglin wouldn't try to take advantage of her. To be honest, Fu Hua's legs were indeed numb, and she couldn't walk without Shen Gonglin's support. It wouldn't be good to meet Himeko and the others like this. There was still some time, and they probably hadn't arrived yet. Maybe she could really let Shen Gonglin massage her legs. Fu Hua didn't doubt Shen Gonglin's skills; he did have astonishing talents in certain areas.

For example, the transport ship he folded from toilet paper. Fu Hua had seen it in the bathroom. Its exquisite design was better than any model, and the cargo bays could even open. Fu Hua couldn't help but admire it, as well as his hacking skills that could infiltrate Schicksal headquarters.

Except for his mind sometimes being a bit off, always thinking about his master's body, Fu Hua was quite satisfied with Shen Gonglin as her disciple.

"Alright, but I charge by the minute. Five hundred yuan for ten minutes. Since we're such good friends, Class Monitor, just give me six hundred... I'm kidding! Don't go, I'll give you a proper massage."

He led the Class Monitor to a bench and had her sit down before squatting in front of her. Since the Class Monitor was wearing pants, there wouldn't be any awkward situations. Shen Gonglin, with a clear mind, immediately started massaging her. This was a genuine massage now, and Shen Gonglin wasn't lying; his massage skills were excellent. Subtle currents flowed into Fu Hua's legs, giving her a tingly, comfortable sensation. Fu Hua leaned back against the chair and let out a long sigh of relief. It was indeed good. Shen Gonglin could probably live quite well even if he wasn't in Schicksal.

For example, by performing on the street, folding paper, giving massages, hacking... or perhaps, relying on this face?

Fu Hua lowered her head slightly to look at Shen Gonglin's face. With his blonde hair and purple eyes, if his hair were a little longer, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be mistaken for a girl. Although he was a bit short, his legs and hands were slender and long, and his skin was fairer than most girls. It wasn't surprising that Himeko would pick up Shen Gonglin's "corpse." If it were her, she would also... No, that's not right. She wouldn't do something like that. After all, unlike Himeko, she was a normal person.

He was just too greedy for money, as if money could buy him over. How could she make him less concerned about money? Perhaps after experiencing great ups and downs, he would see through it. Then, how should she trick him... no, how should she get Shen Gonglin's money?

Fu Hua didn't want Shen Gonglin's money; she just wanted to help him save it. Isn't that what guardians do?

"Shen Gong, you've been touching for so long, shouldn't you be giving me money now?"

Lost in thought, Fu Hua blurted out these words. Shen Gonglin looked up in shock and let go of her legs. He hadn't even asked her for money, but she was asking him for it first. Could he touch her if he gave her money? He never expected this from Fu Hua. He wouldn't touch anymore; if he had to give money to touch, he might as well touch himself!

"Class Monitor, if you really can't hold it, maybe you should go first. I'll wait here for the contact. You like this... it looks like everyone thinks I drugged you."

In the coffee shop, Shen Gonglin looked helplessly at Fu Hua. This was the meeting point, but neither he nor Fu Hua had seen their contact arrive. Just then, Fu Hua's stomach started to ache again. So, the Valkyrie was there, clutching her stomach and silently enduring the pain. Shen Gonglin didn't know how much pain Fu Hua was in, but the gazes of the people around him were making him quite uncomfortable. With those looks, did they think he had drugged the Class Monitor?

"No, I can't... You'll definitely mess it up... Ugh... Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll be back in a moment. Remember, it's a woman with red hair. You should have seen her... No, I can't anymore. I need to go. I'll be back soon."

Still wanting to persevere, but with her body betraying her, Fu Hua could only choose this option. Himeko had also met Shen Gonglin, so it should be fine. She had to go this time. That "Spring Never Old"... was really potent.

Chapter 175: It's Bound to Go Wrong

It's just a simple contact, he'd seen this kind of thing on TV countless times. The Class Monitor was just too worried. Didn't she know how reliable he was? ... I wonder if the Class Monitor brought paper this time. If she didn't, he'd have to bring her some again. She was really a handful.

Watching Fu Hua run into the coffee shop's restroom, Shen Gonglin, bored, started playing with the tissues on the table again. This guy had many strong talents. The soft and fragile tissues twisted and turned in his hands. Soon, the tissues turned into the likeness of Durandal. Then, Shen Gonglin smashed the tissues flat with a punch. If he couldn't hit the real Durandal, he could only vent his frustration like this. Speaking of which, why hadn't the contact arrived yet?

Shen Gonglin was getting a bit bored waiting. What if the Class Monitor came back and took them? Shen Gonglin wanted to make a beautiful contact before the Class Monitor returned, to show her that she shouldn't compare him to someone like Kiana. Shen Gonglin felt he could at least be worth two Kianas. It was time to let her see his reliable side.

Just as Shen Gonglin was anxiously waiting, the wind chime at the coffee shop entrance suddenly rang. Shen Gonglin instinctively looked over. Yes, it should be this person. Red hair, it had to be her.

Seeing the red-haired girl sit down not far from him, Shen Gonglin became even more certain. He downed the milk on the table in one gulp. The Class Monitor really underestimated him, even ordering milk for him. Although it was delicious, Shen Gonglin wanted to drink black coffee.

He stood up, walked to the red-haired girl, and sat down in front of her. Facing her red eyes, Shen Gonglin leaned in mysteriously.

"Mushroom, where are you going?"

Occasionally, Tesla wanted to live a more refined life. After all, judging by her appearance, she was a young girl. If she stayed in the laboratory all the time, even the longest-lasting beautiful girl's heart would grow old. It was time to relax. As a famous "second-hand" scientist from the former Schicksal and current Anti-Entropy, Miss Tesla wanted to savor some good coffee today.

Mainly, this way she could avoid that energetic, noisy troublemaker. Why did she bring her along on this supply run? She was so loud.

Using a bag of cherries to distract that guy, Tesla chose this coffee shop with her elegant taste. She really should be living this kind of life. Just thinking about it, enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee on a leisurely afternoon, her girlish heart would surely be soothed. She couldn't be like that certain "chicken-coop head"; a girl's life needed some adjustment.

Then Tesla walked into the coffee shop. Her red twin tails, bright red eyes, and red glasses all indicated a fiery temper. Tesla didn't care about her image in the eyes of others. If they knew she had a bad temper, they shouldn't try to hit on her. She knew that with her level of beauty, there would definitely be people like that... And indeed, before she even sat down, someone approached her.

Tesla looked up at the young man in front of her. Blonde hair and purple eyes. She had to admit, that face was really good. It must have fooled quite a few girls. But unfortunately, this doctor wasn't like those easily fooled little girls. No matter what he said, Tesla was confident she could shut him up completely!

Then the young man inexplicably opened his mouth and said, "Mushroom, where are you going?"

What did that mean? How should she respond?

This contact person... seems a bit mentally challenged. Can't even say such a simple code phrase? Then she'd have to switch to a simpler one.

After saying that, Shen Gonglin looked at Tesla expectantly, waiting for her response. But the girl looked at him as if he were an idiot. Anyone could tell who the idiot was in this situation, right? It was normal to use code phrases for contacts. Although he already knew it was this person, he still had to follow the procedures.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Gonglin stood up from his chair. Perhaps he needed to add some physical gestures. He spread his arms out in a "roc spreading its wings" pose, and then covered one eye with one hand.

"King of the Heavens, the leopard covers the earth!"

This time, it should match, right? Such a classic and simple code phrase. If she still couldn't match it, Shen Gonglin would really suspect she was a spy sent by another organization.

"Treasure, the pagoda suppresses the river demon."

She blurted out the phrase subconsciously. The main reason was that these two secret phrases left too deep an impression. Tesla couldn't help but say it. Moreover, she was also absolutely certain that the good-looking young man in front of her was indeed mentally unwell.

"Hey, isn't that right? You're finally here. Did Theresa send you?"

After the code phrase matched, Shen Gonglin relaxed. He dragged his chair closer to Tesla. After all, it was a major organization saving the world, and he knew he couldn't slip up in front of ordinary people. So, he leaned close to Tesla's ear and whispered. Tesla, who originally wanted to stay away from him, froze when she heard the familiar name.

Theresa sent me?

She's an S-rank Valkyrie from Schicksal, and I'm a rogue scientist from Anti-Entropy. How can these two be connected?

And who is this guy? I feel like I've accidentally caught a big fish... No, this big fish swam right into my net.

"Why aren't you talking? I'm Shen Gonglin, the person you're supposed to meet. Class monitor... Fu Hua, she had diarrhea and hasn't arrived yet. Don't you recognize me? You should have received intelligence. I'm also an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal now... Pfft, not Valkyrie, I'm male."

As expected of the person sent to meet me, he's so precise. No matter what I say, she just stares at me. It seems she won't believe me unless she's sure of my identity. The code phrase matching might have been a coincidence. I need to show some real proof. So, Shen Gonglin took out his S-rank identification and placed it on the table. He had been wondering what use this thing would be, but now it came in handy. Did Rita plan all of this?

Holy crap, S-rank Valky... Pfft, not Valkyrie, Valkyrie?

Tesla's eyes changed. She had heard about this matter. After all, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were mortal enemies. How could Anti-Entropy not know about such a major incident in Schicksal? However, Tesla didn't expect to encounter an S-rank so easily. She was a wanted criminal by Schicksal. If he knew...

"That's right, I'm here to meet you. Hurry up and put this away so no one sees it."

Chapter 176: All Intelligence Exposed

How come I run into someone from Schicksal just by going out for coffee? Are they trying to capture me? I'm still a wanted criminal by Schicksal, but I'm not a combat-type person, so they shouldn't use such powerful forces. This is an S-rank! I don't even have a piece of iron with me now, and I can't summon my Titan daddy... However, this S-rank Valkyrie.

He doesn't seem very bright. He doesn't seem to recognize me as a wanted criminal by Schicksal. He seems to think I'm someone else.

Tesla sat on the chair very nervously, the red-haired girl constantly watching the movements of the person beside her. The identification previously proved his identity; he was indeed an S-rank certified by Schicksal. No matter how many of her combined would be his match. However, Tesla's strength was in her brain, not her combat power. The other party clearly didn't realize she was a member of Anti-Entropy, Schicksal's mortal enemy. Perhaps the situation wasn't that bad.

"Finally, someone to pick me up. You have no idea how miserable I was at headquarters. Durandal is simply not human, and Rita is also quite incompetent. If I had known coming to headquarters would be so troublesome, I would have stayed at St. Freya. When are we going back? I kind of miss Theresa."

Having completely regarded the red-haired girl as one of his own, Shen Gonglin poured out his troubles to her. In fact, Shen Gonglin didn't care much about his S-rank status. If the money wasn't good enough, he wouldn't have acknowledged it. This guy was a chatterbox. When the class monitor had diarrhea on the way, Shen Gonglin squatted at the door telling her jokes, and was finally kicked into his seat by Fu Hua, who couldn't stand it anymore, before he quieted down. Having held it in for so long, Shen Gonglin finally had someone to talk to. Thus, this newly promoted S-rank Valkyrie confessed almost everything about his situation to this second-hand scientist from Anti-Entropy.

Tesla never expected to be a spy one day. Although most of the intelligence was revealed by this guy himself, and he knew Durandal and Rita, judging by his words, he also knew Theresa... His S-rank status was definitely real. However, he said Durandal wasn't human, why was that?

Whether in Schicksal or Anti-Entropy, Durandal was a living legend, that strong as a monster... No, S-rank Valkyries were as strong as monsters, but Durandal was even more of a monster among monsters. Did this Shen Gonglin in front of her have any connection with her?

"What's wrong with Durandal? I remember she's the strongest Valkyrie."

Tesla slowly relaxed, pushed up her glasses, and took a sip of coffee. As she interacted with Shen Gonglin, she gradually let down her guard. This guy seemed genuinely mentally unstable, mistaking her for someone sent to pick him up to return to St. Freya. He must be an anomaly among S-ranks. Let's see if I can get some other intelligence from him. Although I don't know what use it will be, it's good to listen.

After all, he's a big shot.

"Strongest my ass. In the end, I still beat her when I went berserk. I couldn't beat her during the day, and I couldn't beat her at night either. It's just that she tricked me once. Next time we meet, I'll definitely stab her butt with my Knight Lance!"

Shen Gonglin became unhappy as soon as Durandal was mentioned. He took a sip of milk. Tesla watched him, her mouth twitching. To speak of Durandal like that... And he was drinking milk, why was he pretending to be drinking alone? This feeling...

It was like being bullied by his wife at home and having no choice but to come out for a drink and chat with his buddies. Someone like this is also an S-rank... Could it be that even if Anti-Entropy didn't target Schicksal, Schicksal would slowly destroy itself?

If I were the type to play mind games, I could probably trick this mentally unstable S-rank Shen Gonglin into attacking Schicksal.

"Wait a minute, you said Durandal couldn't beat you? And what do you mean by day and night? Is there nothing going on now? Tell me in detail."

Very interested in this matter, Tesla really wanted to know if what he said was true. If it was, a lot of intelligence would have to be rewritten. Schicksal had obtained a combat power even stronger than Durandal. This was definitely not good news for Anti-Entropy, so Tesla urgently wanted to clarify this matter. Although this guy in front of her was mentally unstable, he seemed to be a truly remarkable figure.

"...Tsk, it's not that she couldn't beat me. That woman is truly powerful. No matter how hard I tried, tsk, I couldn't beat her. Look, these injuries here were caused by her. Although in the end, like a protagonist, I broke out of desperation and managed to turn things around a bit, I could clearly feel that the woman didn't use her full strength. Of course, I didn't use my full strength either. If I train hard when I go back, I'll definitely be able to defeat Durandal fair and square."

Although he didn't want to admit it, his fight with Durandal could technically be considered a draw. Because his physical fitness was too poor, even with Angelic Possession, he couldn't achieve a high synchronization rate, at most only four or five percent. Any higher and his body couldn't take it. The Angelic proxy was very powerful, but he couldn't sustain it for long.

If he could achieve a higher synchronization rate, Shen Gonglin thought that even if Durandal used her true strength, he wouldn't be much worse.

It was all due to his physical condition. For this reason, Shen Gonglin had already planned to train hard after returning. He would run a few laps every day. Running alone was too boring. Should he drag the class monitor along?

Actually, Shen Gonglin was a person who easily lost interest after three minutes, which was why he hesitated about this matter. Although he really wanted to train his body now, he was afraid he would get lazy after running once or twice. If he dragged the class monitor along, she was so rigid and serious, she would definitely call him every day.

Wouldn't that be torture for him? So, he decided to choose Kiana. That girl might be willing to slack off with him when he wanted to slack off. He would probably get along well with her.

"What about at night? Did you two have another match at night?"

A combat power comparable to Durandal? Is this guy lying? Tesla looked at Shen Gonglin with some doubt. He didn't look like a particularly powerful person. Could he really contend with Durandal? Could it be that Durandal was going easy on him?

Chapter 177: Top Secret Intelligence Leaked

"Of course. I was bullied by her so much, I definitely had to get revenge. You don't know, that guy is very powerful during the day, but at night she's as bad as a chicken. I took her down in minutes... Hey, does that look like disbelief?"

Shen Gonglin got excited when he talked about his strengths, but this time Tesla was a bit skeptical. How come she had never heard of Durandal becoming weaker at night? Did she have a night battle form? This guy must be talking nonsense.

"No, no, I believe you."

Tesla lowered her head and drank her coffee. Shen Gonglin knew she definitely didn't believe her when she said that. It was probably because Schicksal's defenses were too strong. After he broke in, they quickly fixed the loopholes. Otherwise, he would have definitely sent a copy to all the Valkyries on Schicksal's roster. Shen Gonglin hated being thought of as talking nonsense the most. No, he had to prove himself.

"I knew you didn't believe me. Look, look at this. Now you believe it, right? She had no ability to resist at all then. Anyone could have beaten her."

Shen Gonglin took out his phone and brought up the photo. Although it seemed immoral to casually show this photo to others, he had already sent it to all the Valkyries at headquarters, so it shouldn't be a problem to show it to one more person now. Shen Gonglin moved his chair closer to Tesla again, and Tesla curiously lowered her head. Two small heads, one golden and one red, squeezed together, looking at the photo on Shen Gonglin's phone mysteriously. After seeing who was in the photo, Tesla Rita's eyes widened.

It was indeed Durandal. She had seen her photo too, but frankly, she had never imagined Durandal would be in such a pose.

Alright, Durandal's reputation was ruined.

"I... I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship with that Durandal..."

Tesla looked at Shen Gonglin with very complicated eyes. The photo not only contained Durandal, but also Shen Gonglin. And taking such a photo proved that Shen Gonglin and Durandal had a close relationship! They fought and bled during the day, and they fought and bled at night.

So this is Schicksal? I'm scared, I'm scared. It was the right decision to defect. We were fighting to the death during the day, but now we're sleeping together at night. Am I falling behind the times, or are these young people just too amazing? This Shen Gonglin... under normal circumstances, he's only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Amazing, amazing.

"A relationship? We don't have any relationship. If you have to say something, it's the relationship of enemies. She's not my type... Hmm, and you aren't either."

He really doesn't know how to talk. Shen Gonglin looked down at Tesla's figure under her white shirt. He dismissed her based on her figure alone. As for Durandal, their personalities just didn't match. She doesn't do things properly, and considering what I've done, we probably have no fate together. After thinking it over, Mei seems better. Or perhaps Kiana. Even though her intelligence isn't great, Shen Gonglin's intelligence is high, so he can perfectly suppress her. Moreover, Shen Gonglin feels like they get along quite well.

"...I didn't ask you about that, so your last sentence was unnecessary. If you and Durandal aren't in that kind of relationship, how would she allow you to take photos like this? And in such an abnormal pose. Don't tell me you... drugged her?"

Tesla was speechless. What happened to not having done anything, and she's not his type? Of course, she doesn't need to be liked by him. Does this Shen Gonglin even know how to talk? In front of him is a beautiful girl who looks young and radiant. This person seems to have both low emotional intelligence and low intelligence. Where did Schicksal find this oddity?

Tesla shook her head, trying to ignore the matter. She wanted to understand why Durandal had become like this, in this state... But Shen Gonglin said they had no relationship. What was going on? The only thing Tesla could think of was drugging.

So this is the Shen Gonglin? Scary, scary.

"How could I do something so tasteless? I just bit her once, and she turned out like this after I bit her."

Shen Gonglin opened his mouth towards Tesla, revealing his two sharp little teeth to her. He really hadn't drugged Durandal, just like he hadn't with Rita. He had just bitten her once. It was because she was too weak.

If Bishop Otto knew that Shen Gonglin had so casually exposed the weapon, specially prepared for Herrschers, to an enemy force... he might have been furious. This was a weapon Otto had prepared as a last resort, but Shen Gonglin just blurted it out so carelessly...

If Otto knew, he would probably think Shen Gonglin was preparing to defect from Schicksal.

"How could biting someone turn them into that? If you were to lick them... Eh, your teeth, they really are different from others."

Tesla's intuition as a scientist made her curious about Shen Gonglin's teeth. She craned her neck to look at his teeth. On those two sharp canine teeth, there seemed to be two small holes. Could these teeth really have something special about them?

"It seems so. As long as I bite a girl, it makes them act strangely, and I feel quite comfortable too... Hey! What are you doing? I told you I don't like you like this."

Shen Gonglin exposed this information without any concealment. If he were caught, he would spill all the information without even being interrogated. But at that moment, Tesla did something Shen Gonglin hadn't expected. She grabbed his head and pressed it into her embrace. Has the world become this cruel to boys? I really need to be careful when I go out from now on.

"Don't, don't talk. I don't like you like this either. Be careful, there's something going on. It looks like I have to leave now."
