Bai Luo read very carefully, but he didn't go through everything.

Of this thick stack of documents, only a very small portion was useful. Most of it was Igor's journal. Except for some crucial parts, like the details of infiltrating Sangonomiya Shrine, the rest was not worth his attention.

By the time Bai Luo had more or less studied the contents, it was already the early hours of the morning.

Previously, he could still hear the logistics soldiers cleaning up the bonfire party, but now, apart from the occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers, there was no other sound.

"It should be about time, right?"

As an assassin, Bai Luo naturally knew what time was best for things like assassinations.

Like now.

The Electro element became active at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a faint scent of Mist Grass drifted in from outside.

"Hehehe..."

A bell-like laughter came from outside the window, but this laughter did not sound sweet. Instead, it gave people a creepy feeling.

Accompanying the laughter was a strange buzzing sound.

The sound was like that of some kind of insect vibrating its wings. The combination of the two gave people a hair-raising feeling.

Mist Grass is a very mysterious plant. Its pollen has a unique effect that, with a little preparation, can have a subtle effect on some monsters.

And this effect is most significant on Electro Cicin. To them, it is like catnip to a cat, both dangerous and full of temptation.

When used, it is more often tied into a wick and placed in a special lamp, becoming something like a lure.

The Mist Lantern, emitting a gloomy and eerie light, attracts not only Electro Cicin... but also misfortune and death.

"Zzzzt..."

A flashing bolt of lightning shattered the room's window, and a basketball-sized ball of lightning flew towards Bai Luo at an extremely fast speed.

Accompanying the ball of lightning were the Electro Cicin, mesmerized by the Mist Grass pollen.

They completely blocked Bai Luo's escape route, intending to kill him on the spot.

"Doryūsen!"

The reverse-blade sword was unsheathed, and a sword aura shot out, striking the incoming ball of lightning and shattering it directly.

Skill: [Doryūsen]

Slash a sword aura in the target direction, dealing physical damage to the unit it hits and reducing its hit rate by thirty percent for three seconds.

This move, Doryūsen, was originally a technique to restrain the enemy by slashing the ground and using the debris to affect them. However, after being modified by the game, it became a sword-aura-based attack, but the hit-rate reduction effect was still quite good.

"Blink!"

The attacker had long known that the ball of lightning would not be able to stop Bai Luo, so almost at the same instant Bai Luo slashed the ball of lightning, she flashed into the room. The Mist Lantern in her hand also flickered with a faint light.

This light reflected on her face, making her masked face look even more terrifying.

"You're here?"

Bai Luo casually put away the documents on the table and looked at the other party with a smile.

Both of them were wearing masks, but the atmosphere was a bit strange.

The Electro Cicin Mage did not speak, but flexed the hand that was not holding the Mist Lantern.

A pale purple lightning flickered between her fingers, giving off a very dangerous feeling.

She didn't waste any more words with Bai Luo. With a raise of her hand, a bolt of lightning struck down.

The Electro Cicin surrounding her also attacked Bai Luo in a kind of suicide-like manner, constantly crashing into him.

But Bai Luo seemed to be very familiar with her attack patterns, calmly dodging all her lightning.

Lightly biting her red lips, her brows furrowed slightly.

The Electro Cicin Mage's arm was trembling slightly.

She knew very well how terrifying the ronin before her was.

Because he was the one who had truly injured a god. Even if the process was suspected of being overly exaggerated, the fact that he had made a god bleed was undeniable.

This kind of person... was not someone she could resist.

But he knew her name. For an undercover agent, this was extremely fatal.

If it only involved her, then there was still room for maneuver. But if others were exposed because of her, then she would be deserving of death.

So she had to come to this appointment tonight, a meeting with a ten percent chance of survival.

"Now you've really ticked me off!"

Uttering a sound that resembled a threat, the Electro Cicin Mage, holding the Mist Lantern, actually flashed to Bai Luo's side and was about to smash it down.

"???"

Grabbing her arm, Bai Luo felt a little helpless.

Although Electro Cicin Mages were a special unit of the Fatui, they usually fought from a distance, circling their opponents. They rarely engaged in close combat.

Even if they did, they would activate a shield.

He had never seen one just smash their lantern like this.

It could only be said that she was really desperate.

Or rather... she was seeking death.

Snatching the Mist Lantern from her hand, Bai Luo threw it to the side.

Having lost the Electro Cicin Mage's supply, the Mist Lantern flickered for a while before completely losing its light.

And the Electro Cicin swaying in mid-air, after flying around in a slightly dazed manner for a few circles, landed in the Mist Lantern on the ground and entered a dormant state.

With her Mist Lantern taken away, the Electro Cicin Mage had no intention of giving up. She actually raised her head, wanting to give Bai Luo a super headbutt.

But Bai Luo, with his quick reflexes, blocked it and pressed her onto the bed next to them.

Feeling the force on her body, the Electro Cicin Mage gritted her teeth. A pale purple Electro elemental energy flowed along the circuit-board-like patterns on her back and gathered at her spine.

She actually intended to perish together with him.

Before the lightning could completely consume her, many things flashed before her eyes.

For example, her playmate, Katerina.

In the House of the Hearth, Katerina and Lyudmila always liked to fight with her for toys.

Hmm... they had also argued over a handsome little boy.

But she never expected that she would not be able to complete her mission in Inazuma and retire with honors, nor would she become an officer as they had promised.

Speaking of becoming an officer, she thought of the newcomer she had met in Chinju Forest.

She wondered how that newcomer was doing now. If nothing unexpected happened... he was either dead, or like her, working as an undercover agent in some organization.

With his face, he was perfect for undercover work.

If she ever had the chance to meet him again, she would definitely tell him that the jam he gave her was very sweet.

Sweeter than a Sunsettia.

"Clang—"

The reverse-blade sword was sheathed, and a piercing sound rang in the Electro Cicin Mage's ears. This sound actually shattered the Electro element she was about to finish gathering.

The abundant Electro elemental power dispersed in the room, filling the entire room with a tingling sensation.

Despair.

Nothing but despair.

The Electro Cicin Mage never thought that this self-destruct ability, which even Lady [The Knave] could not solve, would be broken by this man with a single slash.

"If you want to die, you should at least wait until after we've caught up, Kseniya."

Bai Luo smiled and took off the mask on his face, revealing a face that was very familiar to Kseniya.

"Bai Luo?!"
