She's here.

Gangye Yoshiko perked up a bit.

She had mentioned before that no matter who met Shirasaki Chiyoda, the woman always responded with an air of indifference.

Now that the person in question was replaced by Beichuan Si, would the situation improve?

Before she could finish that thought, she heard Shirasaki Chiyoda hastily reply, "I know!"

"..." Gangye Yoshiko.

Shirasaki Chiyoda betrayed her former subordinates without a trace of hesitation. This immediate and unwavering response felt as if Ruyue Nao wasn't even her subordinate but rather her enemy.

Beichuan Si paid no attention to Gangye Yoshiko's thoughts; he methodically continued with his questions:

"What deep connections do you have with Ruyue Nao? What abilities does she possess, and what was she researching in her room?"

After listening intently to three consecutive questions, Shirasaki Chiyoda organized her thoughts and began to answer:

"My relationship with Ruyue Nao... can't exactly be defined as superior and subordinate. It more closely resembles a relationship between the admirer and the admired."

Indeed, much like the current relationship between Beichuan Si and Shirasaki Chiyoda, Ruyue Nao was a member of the Church of Truth and Happiness who greatly admired Shirasaki Chiyoda.

"Ruyue Nao is a very talented person. And I just happened to discover her talent."

Shirasaki Chiyoda enunciated each word, "Just as you, Beichuan God, have said, she possesses some strange abilities. According to her, those are ancient curses passed down in her family. Ah… the stone ring you took from me seems to be something passed down by her family as well."

"Is that so?"

A flicker of interest crossed Beichuan Si's face.

The stone ring that Shirasaki Chiyoda had possessed was apparently connected to Ruyue Nao, something he had not anticipated.

But upon further thought, it struck him that Shirasaki Chiyoda had managed to get someone to willingly hand over their family heirloom...

It was no wonder she was a core member.

As Shirasaki Chiyoda elaborated further, Beichuan Si understood why Ruyue Nao had joined the Happiness Truth Sect.

Ruyue Nao was originally a girl with a gloomy and volatile disposition,

Though her quiet appearance and pretty features were points in her favor, deeper interaction would reveal that she wasn't an easy person to get along with, and thus she experienced various emotional downslides.

"The day I met her, she seemed to have come to the gathering because of a poor relationship with her boyfriend; it was during that time that I discovered her."

Shirasaki Chiyoda maintained a steady voice:

"Normally, a college girl who hasn't graduated yet is the type who immediately reciprocates any kindness shown to her. I was a bit bored that day, so I talked with her and ended up hearing about her family's curse."

As a member of the Happiness Truth Sect, Ruyue Nao was already flattered to be spoken to by a core member, Lady Bai Mian, and when Bai Mian showed her personal concern, this girl, who was somewhat twisted and stubborn, naturally began to look up to her.

The ancient curse of her family that Ruyue Nao inadvertently revealed at that time also got etched into Shirasaki Chiyoda's memory.

However, Shirasaki Chiyoda didn't care too much at the time; she merely responded casually and intended to leave, then Ruyue Nao caught her, saying that she hoped to show Shirasaki Chiyoda her family's curse the next time they met.

"If she dared to deceive me, I thought of adding her to my collection," Shirasaki Chiyoda had thought. But she hadn't expected that the seemingly gloomy girl did, in fact, possess some abilities beyond the norm.

Ruyue Nao indeed had some peculiar abilities.

She could make Shirasaki Chiyoda see spirits and ghosts, use blood and human bones to nullify a person's perception of pain, and even control the corpses of small animals.

All in all, it was a collection of disgustingly sinister curses.

But Shirasaki Chiyoda wasn't an ordinary person; she quickly accepted all this and expressed her willingness to provide Ruyue Nao with money and a specific venue for her to comfortably research her curses.

Thus, the collaboration between Shirasaki Chiyoda and Ruyue Nao was established.

At this moment, Gangye Yoshiko, who had been silent up until now, spoke up: "A specific research facility?"

So Shirasaki Chiyoda had such a hidden location on the outside?

She wanted to ask Shirasaki Chiyoda for some details but didn't expect that Shirasaki Chiyoda on the other side of the glass simply ignored her, only focusing on Beichuan Si's questions.

Under these circumstances, without hesitation, Beichuan Si took a sip of water and asked calmly, "Where is it?"

"A standalone house on the first floor in the Harbor District Ueno Road area, with a nameplate that reads 'Mitani.' Ueno 187… the first floor is used for rest, and there is a secret passage beneath the first tree in the deep backyard, which leads to where Ruyue Nao conducts her research."

As soon as Beichuan Si asked, Shirasaki Chiyoda promptly replied.

This stark contrast caused Gangye Yoshiko to purse her lips.

Well, it was good enough that she even answered; Gangye Yoshiko didn't ask for anything more.

What followed was much simpler.

After asking a few more questions about Ruyue Nao, Beichuan Si stood up, ready to leave.

"Beichuan God!" Shirasaki Chiyoda called out.

"Do you have anything else?" Beichuan Si turned back, his face expressionless as he asked.
