Cecilia: Woke up, and my daughter ran away?

"Here they come, heading to the lower city!"

Theresa put away Judas and walked over to everyone.

"Nothing much, just encountered something interesting."

Theresa smiled and told Stelle, Dan Heng, and a frightened March 7th what had happened.

"Eek! So scary, I didn't think anything was actually there!"

March 7th cried out, hugging Stelle in fear, while Stelle looked bewildered, being hugged by her.

"Such a bizarre thing happened. Wait, Theresa, aren't you scared at all, being a girl?"

Dan Heng looked at Theresa, who seemed regretful, and asked curiously. He'd never seen such a brave girl.

"The way to face fear is to eliminate it. What good does fear do besides make your hands and feet go weak and embarrass you?"

"I thought about it, since ghosts are plasma, could the Divine Key Oath of Judah, as the Herrscher of Binding's weapon, absorb and convert this Yin energy?"

"It's a shame they disappeared so quickly, poof."

Theresa complained with a hint of helplessness.

Everyone looked at Theresa with a sweatdrop, seeing her bravery for the first time.

[Little Cutie is the bravest Theresa I've ever seen. It seems other Theresas are afraid of these things, but you're not. Isn't that amusing in its own way?]

[Scare away the ghosts, reward: 1000 Joy Points.]

The Herta Space Station System rarely praised Theresa, and hearing this, she smiled even more happily.

"Theresa, you scared me so much I can't sleep! How about this, I'll sleep with you!"

March 7th excitedly ran into Theresa's guest room and said with a laugh.

"Me too!"

Stelle excitedly joined in. Finally, Theresa looked wisely at Dan Heng, who had been watching them the whole time.

"..."

Dan Heng silently walked back to his own guest room and closed the door. With Theresa there, he felt much more at ease. After all, she was so brave.

"Come on over."

Theresa was naturally happy to have girls cuddling and sleeping together. Besides, Stelle was also a girl, and they were all cute and beautiful young ladies. Why should she be afraid?

[Little Cutie, talking nonsense again, hehehe~]

The Herta Space Station System sarcastically teased Theresa, causing her face to darken. She inwardly scorned the system.

Next, Theresa washed up and, wearing a white nightgown, prepared to rest with March 7th and Stelle.

"Thump, thump."

Suddenly, the familiar eerie feeling returned. March 7th and Stelle shrunk back on the bed, pulling the covers over them, while Theresa's spirit jolted. She had almost forgotten about a bonus event!

So, Theresa shushed them, signaling March 7th and Stelle to hide in the wardrobe with her. If that thing wanted to scare them, they would scare it back!

"Do you remember what I said? The way to face fear is to eliminate it. I'll teach you a slogan, and when the time comes, we'll all jump out of the wardrobe together to scare it!"

Theresa said excitedly. March 7th and Stelle's eyes lit up. The three girls quickly hid in the wardrobe and closed the door. Theresa also told them the slogan. Fortunately, they were all petite girls, except for Stelle, who was a bit taller.

"Knock, knock, knock, is anyone there?"

"Thump, thump,"

"Creeaak."

The suddenly locked room door was opened by an unknown force.

"Where are they, under the bed?"

The female voice asked eerily.

"Hmm, nope."

She said regretfully, then began searching the room, even heading to the washroom with a chilling, eerie wind.

"Still not here. Stop hiding, hehehe, there's one more place~"

The eerie female voice cackled sinisterly, preparing to drift towards the wardrobe.

"Three—"

Inside the wardrobe, Theresa led the chant in a low voice.

"Two—"

March 7th was a little nervous but excitedly eager to try.

"One!"

Stelle whispered excitedly.

"???"

"What was that noise?"

The female voice asked in confusion.

"Big Qiuqiu is sick, Second Qiuqiu looks after him, Third Qiuqiu gathers herbs, Fourth Qiuqiu..."

"Roar!" *3

The three girls excitedly leaped out from the cabinet and shouted.

Little Cutie Hu Tao: Roar~

"Waaah!!!"

The ghost was so startled it bristled and screamed, then fled madly, disappearing.

[...6]

Their actions left the Herta Space Station System speechless.

"Hahaha, that's great, this young lady actually scared away a ghost!"

March 7th hugged Theresa and laughed excitedly. Stelle was also smiling happily; she found this really fun!

[Come, come, Little Cutie, you are truly outstanding. We award you with a commendation of noble morals. Two thousand Joy Points! Remaining Joy Points: 7750 + 1000 + 2000 =]

"So, is scaring away ghosts also considered Joy?"

"I only know how to prank others for fun~"

Theresa laughed excitedly while being hugged by March 7th. March 7th nodded happily; the girl wasn't scared anymore!

"..."

Dan Heng next door listened to the girls' commotion and smiled wordlessly. He was used to it. Or rather, thanks to Theresa, he even had days where he could smile. However, he didn't dislike it because Theresa's pranks had a bottom line and never targeted their own people.

The young man couldn't be bothered with them anymore. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, though his dreams weren't pleasant.

He dreamt of an absurd scene: Blade was squatting by his bed, carefully lighting a candle, scattering some Red Spider Lilies on him, and then repeatedly whispering in his ear, "Five lives, three to pay," just repeating it over and over.

"!!!"

Dan Heng woke up with a start, clutching his head.

"Was I watching a repeater in my past life?"

Dan Heng muttered to himself with a troubled sigh. He drank some water and then listened to the commotion next door. The girls seemed to have fallen asleep, and their lack of noise made Dan Heng breathe a sigh of relief.

He no longer intended to sleep. The nightmare caused by Blade had completely drained him. He decided to rest his eyes and stay awake, guarding against Cocolia's betrayal.

At this moment, Theresa and the others were already asleep, the three girls sleeping huddled together. Outside their guest room window, long, shadowy hands swayed back and forth, but they didn't dare to enter. After all, the pranks Theresa had pulled made them hesitant to act.

Six hours later, dawn broke.

In the Iron Guard Restricted Zone, Gepard received a new order: Cocolia wanted him to lead the Iron Cavalry to capture the Stellaron Hunters. Gepard was naturally unwilling. It turned out Theresa's guess was correct; Cocolia was truly betraying them!

So, Gepard led the Iron Cavalry, accepting the order, and headed for Fortress City. He intended to confront Cocolia! After all, Gepard, the ultimate simpleton of Belobog, was not known for nothing.

Gepard, somewhat indignant and full of questions, rushed to Fortress City with the Iron Cavalry. He ordered the Iron Cavalry to guard outside Fortress City and encountered Bronya, who had also arrived.

"Commander Bronya, did you also receive orders from the Supreme Guardian?"

Gepard asked Bronya sternly.

"Yes, Garrison Officer Gepard. Mother, she, she actually said the Stellaron Hunters intended to rebel. I truly can't believe it."

Bronya explained to Gepard, looking lost.

"I received the same directive. The Iron Cavalry have been monitoring the Stellaron Hunters all afternoon. Other than visiting the Eternal Winter Monument to chat with Secretary Pela for a while, they went to my sister Serval's Everlasting Mechanical House. What does this rebellion she speaks of mean? Does it include my sister?!"

Gepard whispered, sounding worried and angry. This was also his biggest concern.
