Chapter 105: Invasive Lawgiver

She couldn't help raising her hand to rub her temple and sighed, "Alas… being this 'Emperor III' is really frustrating, can't even summon a person?"

The system doll's violet‑red inverted‑cross eyes flickered subtly, its tone still steady, but the content changed slightly: "Reporting, Master, the system has not declared 'impossible'. The way to achieve the goal depends on your 'will' and choice."

Heimu felt the corner of her mouth twitch again.

(Is this system… becoming more 'flexible', getting better at giving riddles?)

She stared at the system doll, finally waving helplessly, "Alright, alright… I'll think about it."

Thus, this scene unfolded—Heimu decided to enter Le Tu herself, to conduct an on‑site survey before judging the situation.

She stepped into this familiar yet strange Data Space, feeling an atmosphere indistinguishable from the "Memory", and actually got a faint illusion of a "guest feels at home".

(After all, the days of playing Honkai 3 in a past life and returning each week to "work" are still vivid… now, it's turned from a phone screen into a full VR immersion.)

Then she saw the striking pink strand on the sofa and the figure that, even while lying down, radiated an incredibly dazzling charm.

(It's Ailixiya!)

Heimu instantly confirmed the other's identity in her mind.

She intended to approach and speak, but the moment she truly saw Ailixiya's face, her heart inexplicably tightened, a complex emotion mixing "homesickness shyness" and "fan meeting idol" quietly surfacing.

As a result… she didn't stop her steps, walking past Ailixiya with a blank, straight‑ahead stare!

(Wait! What am I doing?! I was supposed to talk?! How did I just walk past?!)

(But turning back now… would that look stupid? Too deliberate?)

A strong sense of embarrassment and a subtle awkwardness made Heimu choose to maintain a cool (?) exterior, forcing herself to continue toward the bar.

Until a crisp, familiar call, like celestial music, sounded from behind—

"Um—?"

Heimu's steps halted at the sound.

(Luckily they called me… otherwise walking past like that would have been even more embarrassing.)

The perspective returns.

Facing Ailixiya's unguarded curious question, the depths of Heimu's dull violet‑black eyes seemed to ripple faintly.

(Tell the truth outright? Or make up a reason?)

A thought with a hint of mischievous humor, like a bubble surfacing silently, rose in her mind.

She didn't answer immediately, but stepped forward, closing the distance to Ailixiya.

They stood so close that Ailixiya could clearly see in Heimu's eyes a light‑less abyss that seemed able to swallow everything, as well as her own slightly stunned reflection.

"Heimu."

She calmly stated her title, voice soft yet carrying a peculiar penetrating quality.

Then, before Ailixiya could fully process the name, Heimu seemed to state an ordinary fact, uttering the following words:

"…Invasive Lawgiver, please guide me."

At the same time, she extended the hand wearing a gray silk glove toward Ailixiya, as if inviting a handshake.

Almost as a conditioned reflex, Ailixiya's subconscious extended a hand and gently grasped the other's hand.

"Miss Black Curtain? Your name is really special, huh? ~"

Her smile was like spring sunshine, trying to melt the chill inherent in the other's words.

However, the moment her fingertips touched the other's glove, even as the brief handshake completed, her brain seemed delayed, suddenly processing the terrifying information contained in the latter half of the other's words!

Corrosion… Herrscher?!

Ailixiya's flawless smile stiffened for an instant.

In those bright blue eyes, a flash of disbelief flickered extremely quickly.

(Invasive Lawgiver? That… the Twelfth Herrscher?!)

(They're kidding, right? It must be a joke!)

"You… you really know how to joke, Miss Black Curtain, right?"

Ailixiya tried to defuse the sudden tension with a light tone, while subconsciously attempting to pull her hand away.

However, as she moved, she found—she couldn't pull it away.

Heimu's seemingly casual grip now felt like the firmest shackles, silently tightening, firmly fixing her delicate fingers in Heimu's palm.

Ailixiya applied slight force, trying to break free, but found the other's strength far beyond expectation.

She lifted her gaze, meeting Heimu's light‑less eyes that stared intently at her.

That gaze was terrifyingly calm, as if saying, "I'm not joking."

Immediately after, as if to confirm the silent declaration, an extremely subtle aura, like cold tide, slowly emanated from Heimu, passing through the clasped hands to Ailixiya.

(This is… Herrscher's aura?! The kind that seems able to corrode everything… can't be mistaken!)

Ailixiya possesses the complete memories of the previous civilization; she knows better than anyone what "Invasive Lawgiver" means—it's a predator‑like existence for their Data Bodies that rely on the Past World Paradise Data Space!

In the face of true Corrosion Authority, these Data Bodies are like a buffet placed before a gluttonous feast, utterly powerless to resist!

(No way, no way?! How could a… "Invasive Lawgiver" appear in Le Tu? Is it a new Honkai trick? Or maybe…?)

(Now the trouble's huge.)

Even Ailixiya, who has weathered countless storms, couldn't help feeling a little uneasy now.

Luofu Xianzhou

Bai Hang stood at a bustling street corner, looking at the list in her hand of target names and general activity zones, feeling it was more brain‑teasing than plotting a complex flight route; although Gui Naifen had resolved it, there were still so many people.

Bai Hang thought frantically.

Directly deliver a gift? Too deliberate.

Wait for them to come? Too inefficient.

Can't all be like Gui Naifen, causing accidents, staging a scam?

She frowned and looked around, her gaze finally landing on a loud‑voiced, thriving snack vendor nearby.

Watching the vendor cheerfully collect money, hand out goods, and banter with customers, a thought ignited in her mind like a Star Chariot Engine firing, buzzing into being.

(Right! Since we can't deliver precisely, then… cast a wide net, haul in more fish!)

She weighed the sash pouch at her waist, which seemed ordinary but actually concealed a universe within.

The "goods" that Black Curtain Lady gave her were staggering, enough to more than fill a small Star Chariot warehouse.

Moreover, honestly, the craftsmanship was truly exquisite: the Dolls were soft and cute, the ornaments glittered, the necklaces were petite and stylish; even she, accustomed to Xianzhou's delicate creations, found the quality superior, the appearance appealing, definitely goods that would catch passersby's eyes.

(Sell these as ordinary merchandise, let them circulate naturally in Luofu; eventually a few will, by chance, end up in the target's hands, right?)

Bai Hang thought the plan increasingly clever, (although she completely didn't understand what Black Curtain Lady was doing… but she had said these items were absolutely safe, just ordinary decorations, wouldn't explode, )

She recalled that she had secretly examined several Dolls and ornaments in private, pulling them hard, even soaking them in water (?), and indeed found no danger—except the faces of those Dolls, which somehow seemed vaguely familiar, as if… faintly resembling Black Curtain Lady?

(Hmm! That's settled! Be a seller, win by quantity!)

Bai Hang's Execution Power was extremely high; she acted on thought.

She quickly found an unused, clean, sturdy vending cart at the market near the dock.

Then, like arranging her former Star Chariot cockpit, she meticulously sorted a batch of the cutest, most glittering small ornaments and Dolls, neatly placing them on the cart's rear shelf, and hung a string of wind chimes on the front as a sign.

She gazed at her cart, instantly transformed into a dazzling, attractive peddler's vehicle,
