Fu You was taken aback: "An invitation? The one from the council?"

"Yes, give it to me."

Tan Lesheng accepted the invitation and placed it directly on the machine to connect the communication.

The screen showed no image, but it emitted sound.

"Hello? Who is this... *slurp*" A voice came from the other end of the communicator, but it was mixed with some strange noises.

“I am Tan Lesheng, Speaker of the Council. I have something to discuss with you.”

Suddenly, the sound of pots and pans clattering on the ground came from the other end of the communication line. After a brief commotion, it finally subsided, and a tall figure appeared on the screen.

"Ahem, how did it go? Did you accept my invitation?" the person on the other end of the communication line asked.

Tan Lesheng turned to look at Fu You, and after seeing Fu You nod, he said, "We need your core crystal to escape this world."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the communication line, before a long pause was followed by a reply:

"Sure, all we need to do is have that lady come to our secret base once."

Fu You scratched his head. Judging from the tone of the conversation, Tan Lesheng must want something valuable, but the other party still agreed. So, if he wanted her to go to the base, could it be that he thought, "If this child isn't eliminated, he will become a great threat in the future?"

"Wait, you didn't mention this before!" Tony interrupted anxiously.

Tan Lesheng gestured for him to calm down and continued, "Okay. But I need you to promise me that you won't hurt her or conduct any out-of-line experiments during this time."

“I can absolutely agree to that; I’ll use my [Treasury] as collateral.”

This time, the other party readily agreed.

Fu You was still a little confused, so he went to the control panel.

"Why are you so determined to see me?" she asked, puzzled.

She had been thinking about this for a long time. The council seemed to be very concerned about her existence, and even the people in the gray area wanted to find her.

“There are some things I can’t say here, but... you are the only hope to understand the King’s weaknesses.”

"【King】? Weakness?" Fu You repeated it again, puzzled.

If I remember correctly, the so-called "King" refers to the first leader of the Slicing Organization, but what are his weaknesses?

Before Fu You could figure it out, a purple energy surged out of the invitation and formed a huge purple crystal.

"This is my sincerity, and I hope you can come," the Speaker of Parliament said calmly, and then the communication was cut off.

Tony clicked his tongue and slammed his hand on the table, shouting, "Tan Lesheng, don't use talismans to make deals! What if they have ulterior motives?"

Tan Lesheng simply pushed up his glasses.

“If the Speaker of Parliament swears an oath on the Treasury, then we can rest assured.”

"what?"

Fu You, now somewhat curious, asked, "What is a treasure vault? Is it all gold or magical artifacts?"

Tan Lesheng shook his head: "It's a collection vault."

"This councilor keeps all his game discs, figurines, and collectibles together, which he calls the 'Treasure Vault.' I once made a bet with him that the loser would have to eat instant noodles with wasabi and isatis root, and he swore on the Treasure Vault, and he has since kept his promise."

Tony was stunned, while Fu You's lips twitched.

"Is your parliament this exciting every day? By the way, why did you bet on this? Are you a clown too?"

Tan Lesheng turned his head away, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly, "Because the Speaker of the Council is very afraid of wasabi."

So you're betting on this? What kind of idiots does this organization support?

However, since the bet was made in exchange for figurines, Fu You felt relieved.

"Alright, then I'll go. You all should leave this world first."

As he spoke, Fu You pressed the invitation, and a large door opened out of thin air.

Tony intended to stop it.

"It's okay, Tony, I'll come find you guys after I've finished what I need to do over there."

But Fu You smiled and said it was nothing, and stepped into the door.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in what looked like an ordinary little town.

"Welcome." A tall figure stood in front of him, so tall that Fu You had to look up.

The person in front of me, dressed in full armor, was the council speaker I had seen in the previous video.

......

"Welcome to our council's secret base. However, given that we were somewhat adversaries before, if I just introduce myself, you might think I'm just talking nonsense."

"You can take a look around now and see what's so special about this place. I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." The tall, armored man turned and left with a flourish.

Fu You stroked his chin and asked, "Is it a launch event? For a visual novel?"

The tall figure froze, turning his head in disbelief.

"How did you know? Is it mind reading? That shouldn't be possible."

Fu You pointed to his armor: "You have such a big flyer stuck on your armor waist, do you think I'm blind?"

The tall figure pulled out a flyer from his waist.

"Ahem, these are just things I bring back for people during my breaks at work, don't worry about them."

After making an excuse, the other party ran away without looking back.

Fu You's lips twitched. Were all these council chairmen idiots?

Shaking his head to stop worrying, Fu You headed towards the academy the other person knew.

Upon arriving at the academy gate, Fu You was surprised to find it quite large, larger than most of the schools he had ever seen.

"Lianhe University?" Fu You looked at the sign at the school gate and revealed a subtle expression.

"That's such a corny name."

It sounds like some work just found a reason to put a crossover character in a place, and the level of carelessness is comparable to shifting all the blame to Tokiomi.

Fu You waited for a long time but the door didn't open, so he curiously peeked inside.

There seemed to be someone in the security room, but they appeared to be asleep, with a cowboy hat covering their face.

"What's going on? Sleeping at work? Is this how everyone in the organization slacks off?" Fu You complained a few times, then drew his Rebellious Greatsword and chopped off the door lock.

Fu You pushed open the door and knocked on the glass.

"Get up!"

The other person sat up groggily and took off their hat.

Fu You was stunned when he saw the other person's face.

White hair and blue eyes, a red trench coat that I hadn't noticed outside, and two handguns, one black and one white, on the table.

The other person glanced at Fu You, who was holding up the talisman of rebellion, and Fu You blinked and looked back at the other person.

"Rebellious?" The other person raised an eyebrow, turned his chair, and stood up.

"Dante?" Fu You's eyebrows twitched immediately.

The gatekeeper is Dante, the legendary demon hunter from the Mutual Stab family.

"interesting."

Dante looked at Fu You with an interested expression.

1. The epidemic seems to have gotten worse recently. I don't know if we will be able to have a meal together during the Spring Festival. I want to watch the Spring Festival movies.

2. Shouldn't Trump be leaving office today? I wonder if he'll pull any stunts before he leaves.

3. (Continued from image) W's new setting, a magical city.
