Chapter 278

Vill-V's actions were almost the complete opposite of the Fire Moth, and she also revealed a great deal of secrets.

Despite her skill in escaping from various prisons multiple times, in the face of death, all people are born equal, and even the most talented become powerless.

Chapter 452 She's just studious, what did she do wrong?

The shackles restricted her movements, making a sound with every action, but even so, Vill-V remained calm and sat motionless on the ground, showing no fear on her face.

Elysia patted Mobius on the shoulder, then crouched down to look at Vill-V.

"Tomorrow is the day of the hearing, and as her guarantor, I also want to see her."

"It's better to just call him a wanted criminal."

Mobius said coldly, "After all, she's someone wanted simultaneously in twelve different regions under different identities."

"There are sixteen," Vill-V corrected.

Mobius raised an eyebrow. "Heh, I didn't realize you were so smug. I'd like to see how long you can keep it up."

If it weren't for Elysia vouching for her, Vill-V, a wanted criminal, would have been executed long ago, instead of being able to stay here so carefree.

Mobius was so angry at her nonchalant attitude that he couldn't even muster the anger.

"Don't scare her, Mobius."

Elysia walked between Mobius and Vill-V, separating the two.

"I've read the incident report. She didn't do anything too outrageous. Although it crossed the line as a prank, are such crossings rare at Fire Moth?"

Mobius was speechless for a moment.

Crossing the line is quite common among those Fire Moth, and it even happens repeatedly.

For example, she herself is a typical example of someone who frequently skips high-level meetings, throws high-level opinions into the trash, and always likes to try forbidden experiments.

Elysia continued, "Is it because you hold a grudge against her for impersonating you and browsing through books in the university library? She's just a studious person."

"..."

Mobius remained silent, and even Vill-V, standing beside him, didn't know how to describe her feelings.

"Elysia, do you really understand how dangerous this person is?"

"I ask seriously, "Mobius asked.

"In just a few years, she forged twelve, no, sixteen identities, traveled to different regions, and finally declared war on the Fire Moth all by herself."

"Of course, people with this kind of talent are not uncommon in the organization, but she has leaked countless secrets of the Fire Moth, making her a veritable threat!"

"And she happens to be a master con artist; we don't even know who she really is."

Even so, are you still insisting that she can be used by us?

Mobius glanced at the nonchalant Vill-V standing to the side; if Elysia hadn't acted as guarantor, she wouldn't have bothered with this guy's affairs.

After all, her status as a wanted criminal was confirmed.

If all her crimes were brought to light, Fire Moth to the Flame ten times wouldn't be enough.

Getting a serious offender released on bail is no easy task.

"I want to give it a try."

Elysia shrugged and said, "I'm the one who brought her back, so give me a chance, okay?"

You'll regret it.

Mobius dismissed it with disdain.

She had tried to contact Vill-V, but no matter how many times she communicated with her, she always came up empty-handed regarding her disappearance.

The Trickster is a genuine swindler; every word she speaks is true, yet she manages to deceive others perfectly.

"How can you know if you don't try? To verify someone's sincerity, you must first believe in them, right?"

"Vill-V, let's talk, shall we? Mobius isn't here, it's just the two of us."

Elysia walked up to Vill-V and stared into her beautiful eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. As Elysia said, to verify someone's sincerity, you must give your own.

Vill-V: "Elysia is always like this; even with complete strangers, she can offer the utmost kindness and care. Otherwise, we might not be here today."

Elysia: "Don't say that, Vill-V. Even without me, I believe you can escape."

In this matter, the number of past offenses committed by Vill-V is probably too many to count on one hand.

The prison of Fire Moth could not possibly contain this genius.

Vill-V: "This time is different. Even I will really die if I am executed. Although I really want to perform a magic trick of making someone disappear at the execution ground, the difficulty of this magic trick is too high."

He had to bribe the executioner while simultaneously evading the surveillance of the Fire Moth by remaining a wanted criminal.

It's not an easy task.

Elysia: "But Vill-V, you said something wrong, about us being complete strangers... I've heard of the Dusk Street Magician's name for a long time."

Mobius: "As a wanted criminal."

Vill-V: "That's why I don't really want to bring this up again."

Vill-V scratched her head; she knew Mobius would never let this opportunity to berate her slip by.

The incident she caused with the Fire Moth back then leaked a lot of internal secrets. Although it wasn't specifically targeted at Mobius, she was still one of the victims.

On the day she was captured, she even doubted whether Mobius had opened champagne to celebrate.

[In the scene, Elysia's memory fragments change once again, this time on a beach.]

Two pink-haired girls were dressed in cool summer clothes, one of whom had noticeable fox ears.

"Sisters?"

Sakura frowned and asked, not understanding what Elysia meant.

"Yeah, look, you're a pink-haired girl too. I'm totally impressed by pink-haired girls. If we stood together, everyone would think we were sisters, right?"

You make a good point.

Sakura nodded.

Hair color is indeed a way to distinguish identities, and since her hair color is similar to Elysia's, if they stood together, no one would doubt their sisterly relationship.

"Wow! You said yes, that's wonderful!"

Elysia smiled.

"Then, Sakura, I'll leave it to you to be the older sister. You have far more experience in this area than I do."

How did you know? Did you peek at my pendant?

Sakura couldn't help but frown. As an assassin for a secret organization, she disliked having her privacy pried into.

"No, no! I just glanced at it by accident. Didn't you open it once when the plane took off?"

"I thought no one would notice those little tricks."

Sakura sighed. Luckily, it was Elysia who discovered her secret; if it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.

"Elysia, it seems I really can't treat you as just an ordinary colleague."

"I think so too. Since we're comrades on a mission, shouldn't we get to know each other better?"

Elysia slowly walked into Sakura, and this part of the memory came to an end. Then, a flash of white light appeared, Raiden Mei saw a room full of technology.

Only Griseo and Elysia were in the room.

Chapter 453 Elysia's Teachings

In a futuristic room, Griseo in her drawing when she noticed someone approaching. She put down her brush, turned around, and saw a pink-haired girl behind her.

"Come here, Griseo, over here."

Elysia approached Griseo step by step, and when the distance closed, she pulled her into her arms.

Let me pinch your cheek... Ouch, it's so soft.

"How can you be so cute? You don't look like your dad at all! You're so wonderful!"

"I really have absolutely no resistance to cute little girls like you."

Elysia hugged Griseo and rubbed her face with both hands, playing with her with great affection.

If there were others present, they would certainly have stopped her, but unfortunately, only Elysia and Griseo remained in the room.

"Oh, right, while Auntie Mobius's not around, let me take you outside to play!"

Elysia pointed out the window and said.

"Little Griseo doesn't like green places either, right? Let's do something that only girls do, okay?"

"Good."

Griseo nodded; clearly, she too longed for what lay beyond the window.

Cosmo: "..."

Elysia: "Oh dear, how could we reveal this? This was supposed to be a little secret only Little Griseo and I knew."

Now, everyone is looking at her with strange eyes, especially Cosmo, who exudes an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

She really just loves Griseo so much that she couldn't help but hug and play with her for a while. You all understand, right?

Griseo: "Is this a secret?"

Elysia: "Isn't something a secret if only Little Griseo and I know it?"

Griseo: "I understand, then it's no longer a secret."

Little Griseo nodded. Since it wasn't a secret, there was no harm in letting others know.

Elysia: "Mmm, as expected, Little Griseo is still so cute. I really want to hug her and pinch her cheeks again."

Cosmo: "Please don't do that, Elysia, Griseo will be very troubled."

Cosmo stepped forward and blocked Griseo's path.

Elysia: "Eh?! Will Little Griseo be troubled?"

Griseo: "Hmm... I wouldn't say I like it, nor would I say I dislike it."

She didn't know why these adults were so strange; her Little Sister Elysia always wanted to pinch her cheeks.

But Cosmo didn't seem to like this happening, Little Griseo was caught in the middle, unsure of what to choose.

Elysia: "Oh dear, what a pity. Is it because Little Griseo has grown up?"

Kiana: "I think it's because Cosmo was envious."

Cosmo: "?! Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."

That's what they said, but anyone could tell that Cosmo was a little guilty, otherwise he wouldn't have stepped forward to shield Elysia so quickly.

Elysia: "Sakura, don't you have anything to say? About us becoming sisters?"

Sakura: "Um... sorry, I'm still helping Miss Mei train her reaction speed."

In the garden of the Death Space, Sakura began a new round of training for Raiden Mei.

Sakura was still showing off her agility, Mei was just spinning around in circles.

Himeko Murata: "Sakura really likes Mei, she's even more serious about it than Mei herself."

Sakura: "After all, Miss Mei is our friend. In this Honkai world, I hope she can have more power to protect herself."

More strength means more protection.

Sakura knew she didn't have much to teach Mei except for breakthroughs in physical fundamentals like speed and reaction time. Besides, Raiden Mei wasn't Fusion Warrior and would never reach Mei's level.

To get close to Setsuna figure, one must unleash the power of the Herrscher of Thunder and transform into lightning.

But that's not something Sakura is good at.

Raiden Mei: "That's true, but I don't seem to have felt any significant improvement, and I haven't even seen Sakura's shadow from beginning to end."
