This is far more reliable than something as uncertain as the heart.
Kurumi needs a protector, although she herself is not weak.
However, in such a mixed environment, things could go wrong at any point, which is why Kanzaki Teru is needed.
What Kanzaki Teru needs is intelligence, even though he himself possesses considerable strength.
However, if someone were to completely block all information, then he would also become a target of public criticism.
Intelligence is always the most crucial element, and Kurumi is the one who can provide him with intelligence.
"In that case, can I take it as your agreement?"
Kurumi extended her right hand toward Kanzaki Hikaru, a cryptic smile always on her face.
"After all, I don't have many choices."
He stepped forward and took her hand. To be honest, Kurumi's hand was far too soft.
Kanzaki Teru began to doubt whether she and the other person were truly human, but if she had to put it in perspective, she was an elf, and so was she...
Kurumi exuded a captivating fragrance, and Kanzaki Hikaru felt his heart race.
"Why don't you tell me what you know in the novel sharing group first?"
As if fleeing, Kanzaki Teru quickly withdrew his hand from Kurumi's.
However, Kurumi seemed to still have some unfinished business.
"There's so much to say, where should I even begin?"
"Then tell me why we're already in the fourth round? What happened in the previous rounds?"
This is also the issue that Kanzaki Teru is most concerned about, since he has been pushed directly to the fourth round.
He had no idea what was awarded in the previous rounds.
However, Kurumi did not seem very interested in Kanzaki Hikaru's question.
"In the first few rounds, nothing much was done, just some strange tasks were assigned to you."
"Task?"
"What? Are you interested?"
He gave Kanzaki Teru a meaningful smile, and to be honest, that smile was really charming.
If someone is not mentally strong, they might fall for it instantly; even Kanzaki Teru was somewhat tempted.
However, he was also very clear that this was the other party's tactic—people will use everything at their disposal to arm themselves, including smiles.
In other words, at this point, Tokisaki Kurumi was actually still in armed mode.
If you let your heart be moved, then you've truly fallen into their trap.
"No, I just want to know why my score is so high."
After all, the ranking of these points is very likely determined by the tasks in the first few 770 rounds, but it is strange that he would have such a high score since he did not participate in the first few rounds.
"I don't think it has anything to do with the tasks in the previous rounds."
With a smile on her lips, Kurumi Tokisaki took two steps closer to Hikaru Kanzaki.
However, Kanzaki Teru cautiously stepped back, seeing that Kanzaki Teru was still just as wary of him.
Kurumi Tokisaki showed no dissatisfaction; on the contrary, her smile became even brighter.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because although I was selected in the previous rounds, I didn't actually do anything."
After all, I don't have the time or inclination to engage in such things, but I still managed to get such a high score in this round.
Besides, you should already have some ideas by now.
The moment he uttered those words, Kanzaki Teru felt himself being locked onto by the other party.
He subconsciously used his ability, instantly disappearing from his original spot and teleporting to another location.
Chapter 218: YUD
"Oh ho ho ho ho, you're really perceptive."
Seeing Kanzaki Teru disappear from the spot, Tokisaki Kurumi laughed happily, as if she had seen something delightful.
To outsiders, it was as if Kanzaki Teru had suddenly disappeared from the spot, without any reason or warning.
And then, in the next second, it appeared hundreds of meters away, which was really baffling.
However, Kanzaki Teru sensed a terrifying killing intent being directed at him.
So he subconsciously activated his ability, and after he finished activating the skill...
Kurumi was already waiting at his teleportation location; it's truly admirable that she would go to such lengths for a prank.
"you--!"
However, just as Kanzaki Teru was about to say something, a soft finger touched his lips.
"Come on, don't be so angry. As compensation, I'll show you something good."
A hand reached into an empty space, the instant she extended it.
That space seemed to be distorted, as if a small black hole had appeared.
Kurumi then reached her hand into that space and paused for a moment.
Then he withdrew his hand, but there was something extra in it.
However, this thing puzzled Kanzaki Teru, since it had absolutely no connection to the present.
Moreover, it even exudes an ominous aura.
"What is this thing?"
"It's just an ordinary scarf."
"You did it on purpose."
After all, it was obvious that this wasn't what Kanzaki Teru was asking, since the scarf was red.
However, this is not its original color; it was dyed red later.
However, the color is too uniform; it's possible that the original color of this scarf was a darker red.
It goes without saying what was used to dye it red.
"Huh? Huh? I just answered your question, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."
However, it's clear that Kurumi is still pretending to be stupid, but that's part of her charm.
"Fine, I won't joke with you anymore."
Seeing Kanzaki Hikaru's somewhat serious expression, Kurumi gave a sheepish smile.
Then, in the next moment, an old-fashioned bolt-action revolver appeared in Kurumi's hand.
Its entire body is golden red, giving people a sense of solemnity and danger.
"Show your power, Zafkiel!"
Suddenly, a clock, similar in color to the revolver, appeared in what was originally an empty space.
The clock was extremely precise and also exuded a mysterious power.
This is Kurumi's spirit dress, which possesses the ability to control time.
What do you want to do?
Seeing Kurumi suddenly reveal her spirit dress, Kanzaki Hikaru wasn't too nervous this time.
After all, it would be too tiring to always go along with the other person's jokes.
"It's really boring."
Seeing that Kanzaki Teru did not react at all, Kurumi showed a rare hint of frustration this time.
"But you look delicious right now too."
However, this emotion only lasted for a moment, and the next moment it was impossible to detect this negative feeling from her anymore.
It's as if the emotions displayed just a moment ago were fake, but perhaps the truth is hidden in such jokes.
"Zfklite, YUD (Tenth Bullet)."
He raised the scarf with one hand, while aiming the other weapon at himself.
Without the slightest hesitation, Kurumi pulled the trigger.
Although it's unclear what her specific abilities are, she did shoot Kurumi herself after all.
Kanzaki Teru didn't feel any threat, so he just stayed quietly in place.
"The ability of the Tenth Bullet is to recall memories, which can transfer the memories that exist on an object to my brain."
"Then whose thing is this?"
"Just a human named Hiyori Iki, except that he has two mortals with him."
I don't know if I'm revisiting memories or if I already knew all along.
Kurumi is slowly revealing what she knows.
Although his personality seems a bit unruly, he speaks very logically.
"So what does that have to do with the current situation?"
After all, if it has nothing to do with the current situation, no matter how logically she (Zhao Zhao) speaks, it's useless.
"This human named Hiyori Iki seems to have participated in the previous round of the competition."
And it seems they ultimately won first place. Don't you want to know what happened?
Kurumi deliberately paused here to see Kanzaki Hikaru's reaction.
But seeing his almost expressionless face, it seemed that he had finally lost all interest.
After all, there's no point in using the same trick twice, and she knew that all too well.
