"I was originally going to save it for Rikka tomorrow, but it's yours now. Keep a close eye on her after she finishes eating."
"Okay!!! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Hei Dai's expression became resolute and solemn.
After receiving the assurance, Toka stepped into the house with a subtle expression to keep the appointment.
It seems necessary to discuss this matter with Jiang Qiu to avoid any unexpected incidents when covering up their statements later.
Just as she was heading to the battlefield, Black Saber, who was squatting at the door enjoying dessert, showed a thoughtful expression.
First it was Hiratsuka Shizuka, then Toka
There's no mistake, Jiang Qiu definitely likes older women.
After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone and sent a message to Morgan—
Is there a reward for discovering important intelligence?
"If it really works, reward me handsomely."
"That's good. After my thorough investigation, I found that Jiang Qiu seems to really like older women."
"Especially those who are slightly assertive, or have a special status, and can generate a sense of conquest, seem to be irresistible to him."
"Being too childish and carefree is a bit troublesome; it feels like he could easily treat you like a pet."
"Maid outfits also have a special attack bonus against him. The one you sent, when I wore it to work, he glanced at me a total of 185 times, there's no mistake."
Hei Dai quickly edited the information, his fingers moving so fast that they left afterimages.
Meanwhile, Morgan, upon seeing such detailed intelligence, was completely taken aback.
Blackie is quite efficient at infiltrating!
As she gradually came to her senses, she looked down at herself, and her eyes suddenly sharpened.
Chapter 124, Section 125: The Dedicated Doorman – Blackie
As expected of the talent Camelot had selected, his eye for talent is truly exceptional!
Looking at Jiang Qiu's preferences in the intelligence report, Morgan couldn't help but smile slightly.
Perhaps this is what they call fate; even if you don't try to pursue it, it will eventually come to you.
Sure enough, I was quite lucky.
After gathering his thoughts, Morgan sat up straight and began to reply to the message.
"Well, let's gather as much information as possible, the more detailed the better."
"Also, tell Jiang Qiu more about Camelot and show him all our advantages."
"Strive to leave a good first impression on him, so that it will be easier to start cooperation in the future."
"How about I show him all your photos?"
"Okay, but forget about Rungominiad. That guy is affecting our group's positive image."
""
So this is the start of eliminating threats?
Seeing Morgan's malicious reminder, Blackie rolled his eyes.
After giving a few perfunctory replies, she then turned to demanding her bonus.
The task is done, but the benefits must be plentiful; even going undercover carries risks!
This time, Morgan, in a good mood, was exceptionally generous. He immediately transferred three months' worth of living expenses to Blackie, leaving her speechless.
Damn it, this old woman really wants to eat young grass; she's being so generous.
Hei Dai muttered to himself, but still accepted the money immediately.
With these reserve funds, I can stock up on a lot of food and also decorate the room.
While she continued discussing the details of the operation with Morgan—
Bang!
A sudden, muffled thud startled Hei Dai, who instantly tensed up and scanned his surroundings with extreme vigilance.
Who the hell is out wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping properly?!
But after she had been on guard for a while and hadn't seen anyone, she seemed to realize something, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
With a slightly trembling gaze, she turned her head and stared intently at the tightly closed door, as if she could see the horrific scene behind it through the obstruction.
Are they just messing around in the entryway?!
Hei Dai's expression changed, and he even began to wonder who had made the first move.
That was some seriously awesome fun!
Under her gaze, the door trembled eerily again, further confirming the truth of her guess.
They really dare to act recklessly!
Faced with such an unexpected situation, Blackie immediately took a big bite of pudding to calm his nerves and ultimately chose to pretend he hadn't seen anything.
After all, he had already established a deep partnership with Shika, so even if she went so far as to act recklessly in front of him, he could still praise her for having a good attitude.
The sky is huge and the food is the biggest!
Inside the room, Toka was unaware of Kuro's thoughts; at that moment, she was already doing her best to control her voice.
Faced with the cruel assassination attempt by the midnight maniac, she had no ability to resist and was helplessly nailed to the door.
The cold touch of the door seemed to hasten the loss of life, and beads of sweat dripped down in fear.
Her consciousness, on the verge of collapse, was still frantically urging her to fight back, even if it was just to escape from here.
But as her life continued to slip away, her resistance only fueled the Midnight Demon's murderous intent, making him even more ruthless.
As the tuft of hair on his head gradually drooped down, his eyes began to glaze over.
However, before she could completely collapse into a pool of blood, the murderer lifted the corpse's thigh and forcefully held the victim's body in a split position.
With a powerful stimulant that seemed to have miraculously brought him back from the brink of unconsciousness, he was pulled back to life.
"Wait, wait, wait, this combat stance is... ugh!!!"
"I'll die, ugh, ugh, have mercy, have mercy!"
Hearing the intermittent, faint wails coming from behind the door, Hei Dai's ears involuntarily perked up.
Is Jiang Qiu really that strong?
During a casual chat before, Shika mentioned that she had practiced gymnastics, so how could that not subdue her opponent?!
Hei Dai scratched her head in confusion and subconsciously moved closer to the door. She could even clearly see the door shaking.
This intense tremor could kill people, right?
Hei Dai swallowed nervously, a strange itch creeping into his heart.
If it were me, would I be a match for Jiang Qiu? If it were Morgan, would he be a match for Jiang Qiu?
Thinking back to the footage of the power generation I had glimpsed earlier, Morgan seemed to be nothing more than a nobody, and wouldn't last long at all.
Just as Black Saber was subtly complaining about Morgan's incompetence, Artoria suddenly woke up hungry in her room on the second floor.
As she groggily sat up in bed, the tuft of hair on her head drooped limply.
He rubbed his rumbling stomach, just about to force himself to fall back asleep, when he suddenly stopped.
I'll make up the difference; food and accommodation are included here, so I don't have to be as frugal as before!
Order takeout!!!
Realizing she could indulge in four meals a day, Artoria snapped out of her daze, happily picked up her phone, and opened the food delivery app.
After the order was successfully placed and I waited patiently for a moment, the sound of the delivery rider soon came from outside the apartment.
Hei Dai, who was squatting at the door of Jiang Qiu's house, changed his expression drastically when he heard the noise outside.
The moment the sound of the door opening came from the second floor, she immediately covered the light from her phone screen and gently knocked on the door.
This sudden attack nearly scared Shi Hua out of her wits. Her consciousness crumbled instantly, and she collapsed helplessly to her knees in the pool of blood, blood and sweat splattering down her face.
Jiang Qiu stared blankly at the door in front of her. What strange noise had just happened?
When I looked questioningly at Toka, she was also in a daze and unable to explain.
"It was me, An, who arranged for An to be the lookout."
"After all, new residents have moved in, so we have to be careful about the impact."
Those two short sentences seemed to have exhausted the last breath that was keeping Shihua hanging on.
Not long after her eyes slowly closed, she became completely still.
Jiang Qiu, who knew the other party very well, naturally knew that this guy was planning to play dead again to get away with it.
He leaned close to Shihua's ear and whispered like a devil—
"We agreed that today we'd fight to the bitter end, seven rounds in a row. If you surrender now..."
"Watch out, or I might call Rikka, on speakerphone, no less."
Chapter 125, Section 126: Shihua personally extinguished the distress signal.
"The apostles of the Seven Deadly Sins will ultimately devour their master."
Indistinct murmurs echoed softly in the bedroom.
Rikka obediently hugged the plush toy in her arms, and as the dream gradually tightened its grip, it tried to strangle the target of evil.
Just as she was lost in her dream, her cell phone on the bedside table lit up without warning.
But before the phone rang, the call was quickly disconnected.
The room was as silent as if no phone call had ever come in.
However, on the other end of the phone, Toka was gripping her phone tightly, her pretty face filled with despair and collapse.
Even though the call didn't go through, the fear and excitement it brought her were still unparalleled, even surpassing the apprehension she felt knowing that Hei Dai was waiting outside the door.
"Only, only this ooh ooh don't um don't disturb Rikka's sleep."
"Even if it's just to call Shizuka, Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others, it would be so nice, waaaaah!"
Shi Hua discussed the matter intermittently, trying to awaken a sliver of conscience in Jiang Qiu.
Jiang Qiu remained silent, but instead kept pulling at her delicate hand in a threatening manner, as if she wanted to snatch the phone away.
He could clearly feel that as he tightened his grip on the phone slightly, Shihua's sense of urgency would surge accordingly.
For a moment, his playful nature took hold, and he started a tug-of-war with Shika, constantly stimulating her tense nerves.
However, it was clear that Shihua's stamina, which was already nearing its limit, was no match for Jiang Qiu.
In just a short while, her consciousness completely dissipated.
With its head tilted to the side, even its ahoge (cowlick) drooped down, giving it a completely dead look.
Blood and sweat continued to flow from the wounds, gradually writing a desperate suicide note on the floor, denouncing the cruelty of the midnight grotesque maniac.
Jiang Qiu poked Shi Hua's corpse to confirm that she was not faking death this time, and then helped her back to the sofa to rest for the time being.
As for tidying up and going back to the room to prepare for sleep?
No way! The feat of going in and out seven times tonight hasn't been achieved yet, so nobody's leaving the battlefield!
While Jiang Qiu waited patiently for Shi Hua to awaken, Hei Dai outside also huddled tightly in the shadows of a corner.
Hearing Artoria coming downstairs from the second floor, she held her breath as still as she could, afraid of being overheard even the slightest sound.
Fortunately, Artoria, whose mind was completely occupied with takeout, didn't notice anything amiss and happily headed straight for the guardhouse.
With two consecutive deliveries, Meiling couldn't help but open the window and stick her head out.
Looking at the ahoge (a type of hair sticking up) rushing towards her in a flurry, she couldn't help but sigh—
"No wonder we're a family, we all get hungry around the same time."
