Xinyun listened to the sound coming from the communicator, and at this moment, her two little hands had already squeezed into fists with force, and her nails were deeply pierced into the flesh.

She knew that no matter how much she shouted, she would never hear the chaos on the other end.

She also knew that no matter how much she cried, Luang would never come back alive.

But Xinyun still couldn't control the tears in her eyes like fountains.

It has been five years since the ink marks were applied.

Before that, Luan Ring had already become Xin Yun's follower. The issue of imprinting was also proposed by Luan Ring.

The scene of that day is still in Xinyun's mind, as clear as it has just happened.

...

Luan Ring knelt on one knee and looked up at the heart in front of him.

"Please...give me a stamp. My... princess."

"Hehe...really? But after being stamped, you can only be my own knight~"

"This is my honor and my lifelong wish. Please... agree to my request."

"Even if I can never escape me, it doesn't matter?"

"It doesn't matter." Luang, who was kneeling in front of him, shook his head firmly: "I... will never escape from my princess. And I will always be guarding her."

"But... the princess will find a prince sooner or later! Even then, will the knights keep guarding the princess?"

The red-haired knight closed his eyes. The moment he closed his eyes, a hint of helplessness and sorrow flashed in his eyes. But when he opened it, it had returned to a clear and firm state.

"Yes. Whenever the knights come, they will always guard the princess. Even if... the princess has found her own prince, it will be the same..."

"Then... will the knight be jealous of the prince?"

"No. As long as the princess loves, it will be the one whom the knight loves. The knight... will protect her with the princess and the one she loves... even if she pays the price of her life."

"Hehe... Luanrang's serious look is so cute! Well~ come on, prepare to accept my bets!"

"Okay! It's done! Then from today on, Luan Rang will be my exclusive knight! I will spoil me for the rest of my life!"

"I understand, Lord."

"Huh? Isn't it a princess?!"

“Yes, Lord.”

"Hey! Luanling! I said it was the princess! Didn't you agree to call me the princess before?"

"Yes, Lord."

"Hey!!! The big idiot is messing around!!! Call me princess!!!!!!"

"Okay, Lord."

“…”

“…”

"Hmph! Annoying scammer! Big liar! If you don't shout, don't shout! I will never listen to you call me a princess again!"

"I know, Lord."

...

It was not until this moment that Xinyun finally understood why after accepting the print, Luan Rang never called himself a princess again, but retorted the name to the Lord.

And Xinyun finally understood why at the last moment of life, Luan Rang once again picked up the name that had been covered with dust for many years.

"Do you know, Jiang Xiao?" Xinyun raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiao with tears in her face.

"What?" Jiang Xiao asked with a sigh.

"The only one imprint I have ever applied in my life is to give Luanling. And the thing I regret the most is to give him... that imprint."

...

"Thank you, Luanling. I will never forget the information you gave me."

Deshui squatted down and stretched out his hand, gently pressed it on the Ranling eyes, closed his eyes. Then he stood up, took a deep breath, and faced Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu's expression was still smiling, but there was only a slight panic in her eyes.

Deshui's brain began to rotate rapidly.

The ability of the rule system cannot be exempted from itself. So... the most important thing is to find out the rules and then fight against the enemy under this rule.

Because he did not answer Zheyu's question, Luanlang died.

Then... he has at least proved one thing-in this field, refusing to answer the other party’s questions will die.

So... what about lying?

Deshui took a deep breath and asked his first question: "Zheyu, what will be the result of lying in your field?"

"It won't happen. As long as you answer the question, it doesn't matter even if you lie." Zhu Yu smiled relaxedly.

Just answer, it doesn’t matter even if you lie?

Deshui frowned tightly and reasoned quickly in his heart.

This is by no means consistent.

If this is the case, then Zhe Yu would never be so confident. This ability would not allow him to climb to such an important position as the supervisor of the college, nor would it allow the dean to accompany him at this most critical moment.

In other words, Deshui is almost certain that Zheyu's answer is lying.

But...isn't this a paradox?!

If you lie, you will get the same result of refusing to answer. If your heart ruptures and dies, then Zheyu should have died now... she should have died.

But since he stood here so easily, that means... this sentence is not a lie?

But if this sentence is not a lie... then... what is the meaning of this ability?

No... there must be something wrong! But... where is the loophole?

Deshui's forehead had already flowed out of sweat.

Such a battle looks calm, but in fact it is more dangerous than a fight between life and death!

There is no injury, only death. Moreover, it is just one sentence that can determine life and death!

"So, it's my turn to ask questions." Zhe Yu shrugged: "Are you willing to change your school and join the academy?"

This is... what a bullshit question!

Deshui tried his best to suppress the expression on his face, but he did not scold him.

At this time, will the battle come to surrender?

But...the chaos is in the past, Deshui knows that he must answer the questions.

"No."

Deshui answered this question honestly without any unnecessary words.

He knew that he was not very smart, far from being as good as Jiang Xiao, who made him feel heartbroken, nor as good as the heart charm of possessing the inheritance of wisdom. If Luang had not pointed out the abilities that Zhe Yu might have at the last moment, relying on himself with water, he might not have thought about how to deal with Zhe Yu.

Therefore, he now must use all his brain cells and all his thinking ability to analyze Zheyu's ability.

"Yes." Zhe Yu nodded, but Deshui noticed that his expression seemed to be a little tight at the moment he answered, but after hearing the answer, he relaxed in an instant.

why is that?

Isn't his ability... directed at the questioned person?

Why did he himself feel nervous at the moment of answering?

What is his ability...?

"What is your ability...?" Deshui thought for a while and simply went straight to the point.

"There is nothing to be told. Do you really think that the abilities of the rule system must be impossible to exempt yourself?" Zhu Yu said leisurely with a teasing smile on his face.

“…”

I was silent.

Indeed, he was not sure whether this rule existed.

It’s just that Luanlang and Xinyun mentioned this in the team before, but Xinyun also said that this is just a statistical judgment they made based on the awakened ones they have seen.

Although they have never seen exceptions,...

What if there are exceptions?

Deshui was constantly thinking about it, but suddenly saw that the smile on Zhu Yu's face became even brighter, and the warning suddenly rose in his heart.

He just asked a question!

Although it only seems like a simple ridicule, that... it is a question after all!

"Yes, I do think so!"
