First Cooperation with Belle, Shadow Knight: Moonbreaker

The video store wasn't open yet; it was closed.

Fu Hua took out her phone and made a call.

Chi Yuan: "Your Excellency, I've arrived at your shop's entrance."

Phaethon: "You're quite fast."

Chi Yuan: "Meeting someone like Phaethon is not something to be delayed."

Phaethon: "Haha, you're quite amusing to talk to."

"Brother, I'll go open the door. The collaborator has arrived."

"Alright, I'll organize the documents here. Be careful."

"Okay."

At the entrance.

After Belle opened the door, she poked her head out and took a look.

"Hello, shopkeeper."

"You, you're Chi Yuan?"

"Indeed."

"Please come in."

After a moment of surprise, Belle quickly moved aside.

Looking at Cuiji behind Fu Hua, Belle asked with some confusion.

"Is this your companion?"

Shaking her head, Fu Hua said calmly.

"My disciple."

"Oh~ Amazing, you have a disciple at such a young age."

Fu Hua just smiled, not saying much more.

Just then, Wiseye came out. Upon seeing Fu Hua and Cuiji, he introduced himself.

"Hello, collaborators."

"Hello."

"I heard you found our location through metaphysics. Could you perhaps divine a fortune for us?"

Hearing this, Fu Hua paused slightly, then nodded.

"What do you wish to know, Phaethon?"

"Haha, anything, for example, will this commission go smoothly?"

Nodding, Fu Hua touched her chin and thought for a moment.

"This matter will naturally go smoothly. After all, we have the legendary Proxy's assistance."

"Thank you for the compliment. Without excellent agents like Chi Yuan, we couldn't have done anything."

"Alright, alright, brother, and Miss Chi Yuan, stop flattering each other here."

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Belle, and this is my brother, Wise."

"Fu Hua. Just call me by my name."

"Hello, Cuiji."

Cuiji behind them gave a slight bow.

"Yes, well, Fu Hua, have you already discussed the details of the commission with the Shepherd?"

Fu Hua nodded, not intending to say more.

"Good, then let's get straight to it. How did you two get here?"

"We walked."

"Walked? On your own two feet? Are Fu Hua and Cuiji very close to us?"

Cuiji behind them said with a smile.

"My Master and I walked here from the Light Projection Plaza. She said it would help with her training."

"You really don't mind the effort. In that case, I'll drive you near the Void."

Wise raised an eyebrow and waved, suggesting.

"If that's the case, we'll trouble the shopkeeper."

Picking up Eous beside him, Wise gave Belle a few instructions before leading Fu Hua and Cuiji.

They walked to the back garage.

The group got into the small car and drove towards the Void.

"I thought the agent would be some middle-aged person, using such a tacky profile picture."

Inside the video rental store, Belle sat on the sofa, looking at Fu Hua's Rope Net account avatar.

It was a fiery red, plump chicken.

"I didn't expect her to be such a beautiful young lady. And her serious demeanor is quite charming."

She got up, adjusting the HDD system as she muttered to herself.

In the car, Cuiji looked at Eous sitting beside her and reached out to poke them.

"How were you able to connect to Bangboo inside the Void? How did you do it?"

Through the rearview mirror, Wise squinted and chuckled.

"Miss Cuiji, that's my livelihood. How can I reveal it so easily?"

"Hmph, that's true."

Fu Hua sat upright in the passenger seat.

She looked at the scenery blurring past the window, lost in thought.

"By the way, Fu Hua, I see you and Cuiji are unarmed. Is that okay?"

"We have them, you just can't see them."

Cuiji answered quickly.

Fu Hua nodded and said, "Cuiji is right. Our weapons are always with us."

"Oh~ Are they some kind of hidden weapons?"

"No, it's this."

Cuiji extended her hand and clenched it tightly.

A pair of gauntlets appeared on her hands.

At the same time, a sound like countless birds chirping rang out.

"So that's how it is. Your ability to conjure weapons out of thin air is quite amazing."

The three chatted as they talked, and soon arrived outside the Void.

At this moment, Eous began to perform a ritual, inviting Lord Phaethon to possess them.

After a while, Belle, controlling Eous, waddled over to the three of them.

"Alright, what's the plan?"

She put her hands on her hips and looked up at Fu Hua.

"It's simple. Cuiji, cover Belle. I'll lead the way."

"Our investigation found quite a few military and official personnel inside. We need to be quick. Don't get discovered."

As she spoke, Fu Hua took out a full-face mask and handed it to Cuiji.

"Understood, Master."

Cuiji nodded after putting on the mask, and Hundred Birds Ask Heaven appeared on her hands.

"Oh~ That's amazing."

Then, she looked expectantly at Fu Hua, wanting to see what the other would conjure.

What appeared next was beyond belief.

Fu Hua didn't summon gauntlets.

Instead, the mask appeared on her face.

Then, her White Night Butler outfit began to glow.

A set of all-black armor materialized.

Eous's big eyes widened, and Wiseye beside them looked astonished.

"Master, you actually have this kind of high-end gear!?"

"Mm, it's just for convenience. It can improve efficiency."

The mask vanished, and Fu Hua said calmly to the stunned trio.

No, this is way too convenient!

From the looks of it, you're here to blow up the Void!

At this moment, Grip of Taixu also appeared, its black and gold exterior gleaming, a red gem glowing on the back of its hand.

"Cuiji's gauntlets are Hundred Birds Ask Heaven, so what's Fu Hua's weapon called?"

Wise asked curiously.

"Grip of Taixu."

"Grip of Taixu..."

"Taixu is the name of our sect, the Taixu Sect," Cuiji added from the side.

Fu Hua had no intention of revealing any more information.

Seeing this, Wise had no choice but to shift his attention back to the commission.

"I see. Alright, I'm heading back now. You all be careful."

"Understood, brother."

The two, along with Bangboo, entered the void.

As planned, Fu Hua took the lead, unleashing a flurry of powerful punches.

Cuiji stayed beside Belle, eliminating any small Remnants that suddenly lunged at them, protecting Belle.

The group moved quickly, entering the depths of the void.

At this point, they saw figures from the military and officials.

To avoid any unnecessary complications, Belle led the two to try and bypass this group.

After navigating through several spaces, the group finally entered the building.

Two high-ranking Remnants rushed towards them.

They wielded scythes and charged with fierce momentum.

Surrounding them were at least a hundred Remnants of various sizes, their presence terrifying.

"Tch, a bit tricky. Fu Hua, be careful."

"Mm, I will. Thank you."

The device behind her expelled air, and Fu Hua's figure charged towards the Remnant horde.

Just as she was about to reach them, she leaped up, her powerful force cracking the ground beneath her.

"Inch Strength: Mountain Collapse"

Pale golden energy gathered on her fist, smashing down towards the Remnant horde below.

Bang--

A massive sound echoed, accompanied by billowing smoke.

Belle stared blankly at the black figure fighting the two high-ranking Remnants within the dust and smoke.
