"Should I say it's indeed befitting of a noble family's young lady... even when I called out your online alias on the spot, she remained as steady as a mountain, without the slightest emotional fluctuation."

Looking at the expressionless Mokaka in front of her, Yun You couldn't help but feel somewhat emotional.

"Perhaps she simply doesn't care about such things."

However, what Yun You didn't notice was that the moment she uttered Mokaka's real name, a subtle "stunned" emoji suddenly appeared on the screen of the headphones with cat ears the child was wearing.

[(#ﾟДﾟ)?!!]

If one were familiar with this headphone, Yun You would know that each of these expressions represents a change in its owner's emotions.

"What's going on? How does she know my name?"

"Could it be an assassin sent by another War Gang? No, that's not right... I haven't told any local on the Floating Island who I am."

"Think, could it be someone sent by the old man? Damn it... didn't I tell you to stop meddling with my affairs, old man! Are you trying to interfere in my matters again?"

"..."

"No, it shouldn't be someone sent by the old man, because based on his habits, if he did send someone, it wouldn't just be one person; it would definitely be a whole bunch to catch me back."

"Relax, relax... maybe it's just a coincidence. In any case, I mustn't reveal any flaws first."

Mokaka thought silently, and the expression on the cat ear screen returned to normal.

"In fact, I came to find you."

While Mokaka was pondering, Yun You, like a whirlwind, finished off the delicious food in front of her, not forgetting to wipe off the sauce at the corner of her mouth with a napkin at the end.

"Mokaka, I will take you out of the Floating Island Prison."

Yun You was straightforward, directly stating her purpose.

In her opinion, since Mokaka was so honest with her, without hiding her identity, she saw no need for unnecessary twists and turns.

The opportunity to escape—the Lightning Storm could come at any moment and would only last for three days. If she focused all her efforts on scheming, she might miss this chance.

Therefore, Yun You did not hide her intentions.

But after hearing these words, Mokaka's headphone emoji changed again.

[Σ(っ°Д°;)っ]

"Take me back? No good! She really is one of the old man's people!"

"I'm doomed. This was supposed to be something I did secretly from the old man. He always had reservations about my ideal of 'liberating the Floating Island.' What to do now?"

"Think of a plan, think of a plan quickly!"

She fell into silence again, although her facial expression still showed no fluctuations, inside her heart waves of turmoil arose.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Mokaka still not answering, Yun You couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Aren't you going to participate in the Lower City Mayor election? The election is about to start, and if you're stuck in the Floating Island, how can you participate?"

The little girl crossed her arms and said softly, "You don't need to suspect me of being an assassin or any kind of riff-raff. I'm just entrusted by your supporters to help you escape, to participate in the election on time."

Upon hearing this, Mokaka was slightly taken aback, but quickly reacted, and finally let out a breath of relief.

[-_-#]

"So that's it; fortunately, it wasn't someone sent by the old man."

"Among my supporters, there indeed seem to be many powerful Apprentice Death Gods. Knowing of my disappearance, they'd be very concerned... It makes sense they would send someone to attempt to rescue me."

"Now, the alert can be lifted."

Mokaka thought and took a big bite of steak, chewing while mumbling as she answered, "Going back and all, of course, that's no problem. I initially wanted to participate in the election... just, before leaving, I must do one thing first."

"What is it?"

Yun You asked instinctively.

[(ง•̀_•́)ง]

Mokaka's cat ear screen underwent several changes, finally becoming a "striving" symbol.

She turned her head, looked at the camp residents claiming their rations, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"I have to liberate this island."

She stated earnestly, "The Floating Island has a history of half a century, and in almost the past fifty years, it's been overshadowed by violent conflicts. Bloody slaughters and endless strife are the island's undertone. Even the kindest people would be twisted into monsters by the environment."

"I don't like this, because from a data perspective, as long as every person on the island follows the rules and takes what they need, they wouldn't have to live in such a place reminiscent of a trash heap."

"People in the past couldn't achieve this, for one thing, they never considered the possibility of peace, and secondly, they lacked the ability, so they deserved to be fooled."

"But I'm different, I have the ability to change them, to improve the environment here."

Mokaka's tone was very calm, but her words were filled with inherent arrogance.

However, in terms of ability, she indeed had the qualifications to be arrogant...

"Change this island?"

Yun You narrowed her eyes slightly, after a brief silence, she slowly spoke: "But you have to understand, this is a prison, and most of the people held here are vile criminals who deserve their fate."

"True enough."

Mokaka did not argue this point, merely shook her head and said unhurriedly, "But among them, aren't there innocents like Tian En?"

"Besides, in my view of life, if a person truly commits a crime, the judicial body should give them a fair trial and reasonable sentencing, instead of conveniently tossing them into a Demon Cave where other demons mercilessly kill them due to fear of trouble."

"This neither aligns with the spirit of law nor does it comply with basic human morality. Therefore, if I can campaign for mayor, the first thing I will do is push for judicial reform, ridding the thought of 'dispensing with life conveniently,' and using more reasonable methods to treat these prisoners."

"The purpose of this operation is to demonstrate to those stubborn judicial officers that with the right guidance and an iron-fisted... leader who can suppress all discontent and opposition, even prisoners of the Floating Island, deemed hopeless by them, can have a chance to become 'good people' again."

"Human nature can be controlled and molded at will. The Floating Island was rotten due to the inaction of the entire Judicial Council, and they are the ones who gave birth to violence and conflict. Now, with me controlling human nature, this island will certainly develop toward harmony and equality."

"I will give those stubborn ones a resounding slap, letting them understand they are just a bunch of incompetents, and I am the true leader."
