Then let them offer their loyalty!

The rapidly spinning coin suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of mist. Then, it condensed in the air to form the shape of Lariro.

Today, Larilu wore a black high-slit dress, which perfectly accentuated her figure.

Her long, slender, snow-white legs peeked out from the edge of her slit dress, exuding a subtle allure.

She was barefoot and barefoot, her small feet round and smooth, like works of art.

Even though Qiu Tu's many fanfics never feature jade feet, it must be admitted that these are feet that could drive any foot fetishist crazy.

However, compared to her exquisite clothes and appearance, Larilu's mental state was clearly much worse.

This can be seen from the fact that although she was trying her best to hold on, she still looked listless.

"My Pope~~ It's only been a day since we last met, and I didn't expect you to contact me."

"I hope I can hear some good news from you."

Qiu Tu carefully observed La Riluo's condition, then smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have indeed come to report good news to you."

"I have recruited more than 10,000 followers for you!"

La Riluo was startled by Qiu Tu's words. Her listless spirits even lifted slightly.

She exclaimed "Oh?" and looked at Qiu Tu with her scarlet eyes, asking, "Really? How did you recruit those ten thousand followers?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu explained with a serious expression.

"Your Highness. Today, while Yan Chen was away, I promoted many of my cronies and placed a large number of them in positions of power within the Investigation Bureau."

"Now I have people in every department of the entire Exploration Agency. My power tentacles can be said to have spread throughout the entire Exploration Agency."

"Therefore, as long as you and Princess Zhaoji kill Yan Chen, Yan Chen's power in the Investigation Bureau will crumble and he will be completely unable to fight against me."

"In that case, I will have complete control over the entire Investigation Bureau."

"At that time, even if the shelter sends a new director to take office, I can quietly sideline him."

At this point, Qiu Tu said with a boastful look, "Your Highness, at that time... I, no, you will be the uncrowned king of the entire New Territories."

"Tens of thousands of detectives in the Investigation Department will obey your orders and follow your will."

"Tell me, wouldn't you say these are the followers I've developed for you?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo: .....

Larilu felt a throbbing in her temples, and her complexion turned pale.

What kind of believer is this?

If these peripheral forces, who don't even know who they are, can be considered her followers, then she would have already become one of the top ten evil gods in the boundless sea of ​​the mind.

Moreover... even if these agents could become her followers, the prerequisite is that she has to kill Yan Chen and escape!

At present, she and Yan Chen are at most in a stalemate. It is good enough that she can keep herself from falling. How could she possibly kill Yan Chen without the help of the outside world?

So, Qiu Tu's promises were grand and enticing. But La Riluo couldn't have them...

Thinking this, Lariro took a deep breath, trying her best to hide her emotions, and then forced herself to be happy, praising, "Hmm, very good. You did a great job! As expected of the Pope I chose."

After saying that, Larilu tentatively asked, "Did you... gain anything else today?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes."

Qiu Tu said with a fawning expression, "Today I also completed the 10 tasks you assigned me."

Hearing this, Larilu's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked, "How is it? How many have you finished?"

Qiu Tu held up one finger, "One piece."

Larilu: .....

Larilu felt a chill run down her spine, but she didn't show it on her face. However, she asked with a glimmer of hope, "Which one?"

Qiu Tu said with a serious expression, "I have found out the exact time when Moonlight Lake was formed."

"Tomorrow night."

"That means it's a day later than the last time I told you."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Rilu felt a surge of irritation and her defenses crumbled...

Regardless of whether this news is true or false.

The main problem is that this news has absolutely no effect on Lariro right now!

She is now trapped in Yan Chen's domain and cannot get out at all.

If Moonlight Lake doesn't take shape, she still has a chance. But if it does, it will only cause her some trouble and won't do her any good!

Thinking this, Larilu grinned, revealing a wicked smile. Then, forcing a smile, she praised, "Good, very good. I didn't expect you, Qiu Tu, to have even found out this kind of information."

"It seems I wasn't wrong about you."

Hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu smiled innocently, then suddenly asked, "Your Highness, since time is so tight, why don't you and Princess Zhao Ji make your move sooner, kill Yan Chen, escape, and then compete for Moonlight Lake?"

At that moment, Larilu's expression suddenly froze.

Lariro is considered an evil god because she is among the most intelligent of the catastrophic creatures. Through decades of learning and evolution, she has gained a thorough understanding of conspiracies and deceit.

These past two days, she has been trapped by Yan Chen's schemes and domain, and has neither the ability nor the time to think calmly.

In addition, Qiu Tu was the card she played with the least cost, and she pinned her hopes on him, which is why she kept acting despite the difficulties.

But now Qiu Tu is teasing her one after another, pulling her up and then pulling her down from her pedestal, until she finally realizes that something is wrong.

Her scarlet eyes looked down at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu sat in the chair, looking at her with a half-smile, showing no respect or awe whatsoever. Instead, he seemed like an actor performing a solo act on stage.

At that moment, La Riluo finally understood everything. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died—her performance last night had not fooled Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu is now like a hunter toying with his prey, watching the spectacle unfold before his eyes.

Thinking this, a sinister smile crept onto Lariel's lips...

Chapter 268 Confronting Lariello (10,000 words, please vote!)

If it were a cunning old fox like Yan Chen, after discovering that his scheme had been exposed by Qiu Tu, he would most likely remain calm and pretend nothing had happened. Then he would quietly lie in wait and continue to set traps or snares for Qiu Tu.

If it were Secretary Bai, a riddle-like person who likes to speak in circles, after discovering that Qiu Tu had seen through her scheme, she would most likely deliberately not expose it, and then start to use many hints to test and clash with Qiu Tu in a war of words.

However... Lariluo is neither Yan Chen nor Secretary Bai. She is an evil god, and a remarkably audacious one at that, with extreme self-confidence!

So, she grinned maliciously at Qiu Tu and dropped all pretense.

She sat up in mid-air, looking down at Qiu Tu, her scarlet eyes deep and bright, her voice tinged with a hint of wickedness, "Looks like I couldn't hide it from you after all."

When did you realize something was wrong?

Hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu stopped pretending. He leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "I've never believed you."

Qiu Tu was always submissive in front of La Ri Luo, and even when he occasionally broke free from La Ri Luo's control, he always made up various excuses to cover it up.

Therefore, although Larilu knew that Qiu Tu was not a simple person, she had never seen Qiu Tu in such a state.

In that instant, her scarlet eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing within them.

She said in a sinister tone, "It seems... you really think I can't get out, that's why you dare to be so arrogant?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll come out alive and cause you trouble?"

Qiu Tu smiled upon hearing La Riluo's words.

He pointed at Lariro, then at himself, and said, “You are an evil god, and I am human, and a mid-to-high-ranking member of the Investigation Agency. We are inherently irreconcilable.”

Even if I don't provoke you, do you think you can let me go after you get out of here alive?

"Okay, okay, okay~~" Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo laughed with immense joy, her little legs trembling...

La Ri Luo's ability to establish her presence in the New Territories for so long, and to avoid being caught out by Qiu Tu in several confrontations, clearly indicates that she is not a simple person.

So after she laughed, her scarlet eyes looked at Qiu Tu, and she said with a playful expression,

"However, what I don't understand is, since you know we're destined to be irreconcilable, why don't you continue to play along and drag things out with me?"

"Or is it to deliberately mock me and let me see through you?"

At this point, Larilu narrowed her eyes, looking at Qiu Tu with a half-smile, and slowly said, "Unless... you did it on purpose."

"So...you want to cooperate with me?"

Cooperating with an evil god is a capital offense, so Qiu Tu wouldn't even accept such a offer.

He denied it directly, saying, "Your Highness, you've misunderstood."

"I just noticed that Director Yan's phantom of the law has undergone a huge change today."

"I suspect he may have taken another step forward in his devouring of you."

"We've got a grudge, so I'm here to mock you on purpose. After all... if I don't mock you now, I might never be able to mock you again."

Qiu Tu's words sounded dignified on the surface, and even revealed his arrogance to the fullest extent. At first glance, they seemed to have no problem.

But... just as Qiu Tu understands La Ri Luo, La Ri Luo also understands Qiu Tu.

In her mind, Qiu Tu, even if he wasn't a master strategist, was definitely shrewd and calculating.

Such people never do anything in vain; they always have their own profound meaning behind their actions.

And it's even less likely that Qiu Tu would do something like popping champagne halfway through the event before it was even over.

Thinking this through, Lariluo immediately guessed the reason for Qiu Tu's somewhat contradictory behavior:

Qiu Tu clearly still wanted to cooperate with him, but he didn't want to give him any ammunition in his words, which is why he didn't respond to his words.

Thinking this way, Lariro felt a little more at ease.

She looked at Qiu Tu, then said with a charming look in her eyes, "Is that so? My little Pope is really heartless."

"However... you overestimate Director Yan and underestimate me. It's still uncertain who will win between us."

At this point, Larilu paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "For example... if Sister Zhaoji were to intervene, I would definitely be able to escape danger."

Larilu's message was clear: she still wanted Zehime to take action.

But Qiu Tu shook his head decisively upon hearing this, "Stop dreaming. Your followers are either dead or captured. There's no way anyone can find Zhao Ji for you."

"Moreover, betraying an evil god is a capital offense, and they will never be able to get out in this lifetime."

Qiu Tu's meaning was crystal clear: No chance. Colluding with evil gods is a capital offense; I'm not going to take that risk.

Larilu hadn't really had any illusions about this plan—if Qiu Tu were willing to accept it, he would have done it already.

She was just testing the waters to get the ball rolling.

So when Qiu Tu refused, she didn't mind and continued, "Then I might survive as well."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Yan Chen is currently devouring me; my soul and mental strength are far superior to his."

"He is now forcibly burning his life force to create a situation where a snake swallows an elephant, and then using the position he has swallowed to advance to the fourth rank."

"Finally... he even wanted to refine his fourth-tier strength into a fourth-tier pseudo-level."

"Every step is like walking a tightrope; if you're not careful, you'll fall and be smashed to pieces."

Lariluo: We can't call for outside help, so you help me influence Yan Chen. If he makes even the slightest mistake, he'll fail, and I'll be able to escape.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu shook his head and said, "I believe in Director Yan's abilities. He is a strategist."

"He must have made thorough preparations for such a complex plan in advance. He may have even prepared multiple backup plans."

"Moreover, he has now cut off all contact with the outside world, so his mind will not be affected in any way."

"Therefore, your expectations are simply impossible to fulfill."

Qiu Tu: The plan is invalid. Yan Chen is not the kind of person to act rashly.

Lariluo's eyes flickered slightly. She hesitated for a moment, as if weighing whether Qiu Tu was trustworthy or not.
