Little Shi: Transforming doesn't have invincibility frames, are fools who fall for it?

"You guys are really too interesting, hahahaha—"

The Herrscher of Reason stopped attacking, stood to the side, and burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

Hearing this, Billy, who had gotten up from the ground, scratched his face and said with realization.

"Oh~ So you were just scaring me!"

"What else? You guys at Cunning Rabbit House are like clowns, one after another. It's really amusing."

"Report, Ms. Herrscher of Reason, Anbi is not a clown."

Blinking, after looking at Anbi, the Herrscher of Reason patted her head.

"Alright, alright, I get it."

Billy tidied up his ammo and handgun, then said.

"Although there's no immediate danger, Boss Nicole is probably already outside figuring something out.

But will she be willing to spend money to call for backup? That's Boss Nicole we're talking about, hahaha..."

"Based on Nicole's habitual tight budget, I believe your doubt about her not calling for backup is valid."

Hearing this, Billy covered his face in frustration.

"Damn it... Now that you say it, I'm actually starting to worry."

"However, Ms. Herrscher of Reason said she went to find a legendary shoemaker with a 'Nantong' fetish."

"Huh? You mean the legendary Proxy! And it should be Phaethon, right!?"

"In any case, let's deal with the Remnants in front of us first... Wait, Ms. Herrscher of Reason, where are you going!"

Just as Billy was about to make a plan, he saw the Herrscher of Reason already picking up a small Remnant and playing with it.

"Is this a Remnant? Black trash, green trash, not even as good-looking as a Honkai beast."

"Wait, Anbi, did you see that? The Remnant doesn't seem to be attacking Ms. Herrscher of Reason!"

"Yeah, I saw it. What's going on?

It seems to be Ms. Herrscher of Reason's special ability."

"Then we can just walk sideways, right?"

"Hey, you two, where are you planning to go?"

Saying that, the Herrscher of Reason tossed the Remnant in her hand behind her and said.

"This way, there's a spatial rift."

"Got it."

With that, Sheathed Sword unfurled, and a black and red greatsword popped out.

It swiftly weaved through the swarm of Remnants.

A red afterimage flashed between the two, and the Remnants were sliced into pieces and dissipated into the air.

"So amazing, just as expected of Ms. Herrscher of Reason."

"Yeah, just like the protagonist from This Killer Is A Bit Too Hot."

"More Remnants are coming from behind, Anbi, let's go! I'll provide covering fire."

"Understood."

And so, the group fought their way along, eventually arriving near an old subway station.

Billy's cool pose lasted less than two seconds.

He was almost killed by a Remnant with just a sliver of health left because he forgot to reload.

Fortunately, Anbi finished it off in time, or Billy would have been reduced to spare parts.

The Herrscher of Reason watched from the sidelines.

It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but these were just minor enemies that didn't spark any desire to fight.

Picking at her ear, the Herrscher of Reason sat behind Sheathed Sword, occasionally helping the two finish off enemies.

"Look, there seems to be someone over there."

The three entered the subway station together.

They saw Old Bai, who was about to turn into a Remnant, fighting other Remnants.

At his feet was the safe that had been embedded into the ground.

Seeing this, Anbi prepared to go up.

But Billy pulled her back.

"Wait, Anbi, what are you doing?"

"Catch him and retrieve the safe."

Billy looked at Old Bai vigilantly and began to explain.

"Wait a moment."

Old Bai turned around, one eye bloodshot, the other already a Remnant core.

I couldn't find it by searching the book title. You could try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

"I... will eliminate, cough cough."

His entire body was covered in Aether crystals, looking quite grotesque.

"As expected, he's already been eroded by Aether. The mutation is this deep, it seems this uncle doesn't have Aether compatibility."

"And he still has the will to struggle—"

"It's too late, the Aether has already..."

Before Billy could finish, a blood-red figure flashed past behind the two of them.

The Herrscher of Reason picked up a very special red brick and charged forward.

Under the astonished gazes of Billy and Anbi.

She smashed it repeatedly onto Old Bai's other eye.

Thump, thump, thump—

Muffled sounds continued to ring out.

When the dust settled.

Beneath the Herrscher of Reason's feet lay the bloody and mangled Old Bai, and the floor was shattered and sunken.

Standing up, she looked at the two stunned people behind her and said.

"Transformations don't have invincibility frames, are you two just standing there like idiots?"

"Hiss~ That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it."

"Special note: I was going to go, but Billy held me back."

"Hey, wasn't I just being cautious? What if something unexpected happened?"

"Alright, alright, this iron hunk seems to be your target, doesn't it? Take it and go."

"You got it, Ms. Herrscher of Reason, you were so cool just now."

Billy put away his gun and ran over, picking up the safe.

The three of them, carrying the safe, wandered aimlessly in the Void.

Meanwhile, Nicole had already driven to Sixth Street.

Wise and Belle were still watching the news with great interest.

Suddenly, Nicole pushed open the door and said.

"No need to watch anymore, the explosion in the news? That was me."

She strode over and directly turned off the TV.

"The situation is urgent. Billy, Anbi, and my client have all fallen into the Void."

"I desperately need help, I beg you, Proxy! This is the request of my life!!!"

Leaning on the sofa, Wise scratched his head and said calmly.

"Hello, Nicole. It would be great if you could knock next time you come in."

"I feel like I hear 'the request of my life' from you three times a month... Nicole."

"Ah, help me get out of this crisis first, and then you can tease me however you want."

"Please, legendary shoemaker, no, Proxy—Phaethon!!"

"Hey! I heard that, Nicole, were you doing that on purpose or by accident?"

Belle frowned, then stepped forward and removed a black feather from Nicole's shoulder.

"Ah, I don't know, I just called you the wrong name subconsciously. Wait, is this a feather?"

"Oh well, let's not worry about that for now, we..."

After explaining the whole situation to the Cereal Siblings.

"So, right now, Fu Hua's sister, that Herrscher of Reason lady, is with Anbi and the others."

"Yeah, but even though she's quite strong, she can't get out without Radish."

"The situation isn't too bad, is it? Why do you look so anxious? Are you being chased for debt again?"

Hearing this, Nicole crossed her arms and said through gritted teeth.

"I'm not being chased for debt, I was set up by the Public Security Bureau and reporters from Lido."

"Originally, the Herrscher of Reason had already shattered the reinforced glass, and we were about to escape.

Who knew they would be so dishonorable and fire two missiles directly."

"Two missiles?! You guys are really lucky to be alive."

"This is all thanks to the Herrscher of Reason, you know. She caught the first one with her bare hands. It would have been fine if I'd just thrown it.

Who knew there'd be another one right after."

"I just hid behind someone, so I wasn't blown away and nothing happened."

Pulling the corner of her mouth up, Belle waved her hand and asked.

"Never mind you for now, why is Fu Hua's sister called the Herrscher of Reason?"
