The Combination Technique of Kotodama

Shocked, unbelievable, and utterly astonishing.

Su Bailian was dumbfounded as she watched two people emerge from the wall.

Hey, buddy, is this headquarters a place where you can just come and go as you please?

But, after thinking about the previous antics of this notorious duo, it didn’t seem all that strange anymore.

Or perhaps.

Su Bailian gradually calmed down. That must be it, right?

It’s just like how it’s written in novels.

Even though they’re here, they’ve used some kind of technique or method that makes them visible only to her...

The next second.

“It’s Su Muwan!!”

“Su Muwan has come to headquarters!!”

A sharp scream rang out.

...?

Su Bailian turned her head.

She saw a passing staff member screaming in terror at the sight of Su Muwan.

Su Muwan’s eye twitched as she placed one hand on her hip, clearly offended. “What’s the big deal? So what if I’m here? Why the overreaction?”

“Am I some kind of monster?”

Qin Luo chuckled lightly. “It seems the young lady’s reputation has already spread throughout headquarters.”

Due to her exaggerated feats time and time again, combined with the exaggerated propaganda from online haters,

many people had come to believe that Su Muwan was a venomous woman who would throw people into the ocean to feed the sharks whenever she was in a bad mood.

Oh, and to prove that Su Muwan really was like that,

someone had even posted evidence.

It was footage of Su Muwan changing the water for her pet sharks.

Su Muwan was utterly speechless. “Hmph, I don’t want this kind of reputation.”

Hey! Can you not just casually chat at a time like this!?

Are you seriously not even trying to hide anything!?

Su Bailian pointed at the terrified alliance member and quickly turned to Qin Luo. “Hey, can we deal with this guy first?”

“Eek!!!”

The person being pointed at trembled in fear, his eyes wide with panic as he stared at Su Muwan. “No... I have to report this to the higher-ups. An SSS-level threat has arrived, and Lianlian is with them.”

“Wait, I’m being labeled as a threat now? What did I even do??”

“Hey, Sister Su, can we deal with this guy first before discussing whether you’re a threat or not? My undercover identity is about to be exposed!”

“Honestly, it’s ridiculous that the young lady is being labeled as a threat just because she’s too powerful. These headquarters people really have no sense.”

“Uh... can we maybe listen to what he’s saying...? Anyway...”

“Hey! He’s running away!”

Su Bailian frantically pointed at the alliance member who was now fleeing in the opposite direction.

Oh no!

If he got away and reported this, her undercover mission at headquarters would be exposed!

The next second.

Qin Luo calmly spoke:

“Freeze!”

“Ugh—!”

In an instant,

the fleeing man’s body stiffened, frozen in place mid-motion.

His eyes were filled with panic and confusion.

I... can’t move?

Qin Luo smiled in satisfaction at the sight. “Good, it worked.”

Su Muwan’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “Huh? What is this? Isn’t this the immobilization technique that Sun Goku used last time?”

Qin Luo chuckled. “You’re sharp, young lady. Actually, I’ve inherited Sun Goku’s legacy.”

“? Qin Luo, are you seriously treating me like a fool just because I played along?”

“Ahem...”

Anyway.

Qin Luo spoke again: “Come here.”

“Eek!”

Under the gaze of the group, the alliance member was forced to turn around and return against his will.

Su Muwan and Su Bailian both looked at Qin Luo in astonishment.

Su Muwan turned to Qin Luo, realization dawning on her. “No wonder you said the plan had changed.”

“So this is what you meant...”

This ability to control others was truly something she had never seen before.

Wait, maybe she had seen something similar.

In her previous life, there was a chosen one with a lion hidden in his eyes who had shouted similar things at her during a battle.

But...

it hadn’t worked at all. Back then, she had wondered why he kept shouting and shouting, and without a second thought, she had crushed him with a single palm strike.

Su Bailian gulped nervously. What were these two talking about?

A plan?

What plan?

Come to think of it, Qin Luo said he needed me to do something. What exactly does he want me to do?

It’s not going to be dangerous, is it?

Su Muwan looked at the pale-faced, speechless alliance member and asked curiously, “So what can you do with this ability?”

“It’s simple.”

Qin Luo smiled mysteriously. He looked at the man and spoke again: “Swear eternal loyalty to the young lady.”

The next second.

The controlled alliance member nervously said, “I swear eternal loyalty to the young lady.”

“Total Army Command, activate!”

“[Total Army Command (Unite as one, with unwavering loyalty. All who join your faction will have their loyalty increased to 100%, never to betray you.)]”

Loyal member count: +1.

Su Muwan waited for a while, but when Qin Luo didn’t do anything else, she looked at him in surprise. “That’s it?”

Qin Luo shrugged. “That’s it.”

“What!? How is that supposed to help!?”

Su Muwan was shocked. You think just saying a few words will make someone your ally? This isn’t a movie!

Qin Luo smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, young lady. You’ll understand its true value in due time.”

The most direct effect of unwavering loyalty would only become apparent in actual combat.

He waved his hand at the man. “Go back to what you were doing.”

“Yes!”

After the man left.

Qin Luo turned to Su Bailian, who still looked uneasy, and asked, “How have things been going lately?”

Then, he glanced around and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you bring Boqi with you?”

This wasn’t like Su Bailian at all.

After all, that silly dog was her treasure.

“Hmph, do you think I didn’t want to bring Boqi along?”

Su Bailian snapped out of her thoughts and snorted lightly. “Aside from a few insignificant minor players, there aren’t many core members at headquarters who fully trust me yet.”

“Building a persona isn’t something that happens overnight. I have to take it step by step.”

Qin Luo nodded and smiled. “That’s fine. As long as there are members who trust you, that’s enough. We’re here to help you solidify your persona.”

“All you need to do is cooperate with me and your sister.”

Su Bailian was stunned. “?”

Su Muwan blinked. “Am I going to have to play the villain again?”

“Absolutely.”

Su Muwan: “......”

Su Bailian gulped and cautiously asked, “You’re not planning to make a move here, are you?”

“I’ve only been here for a few days, but even I know how strong the people at headquarters are!”

This isn’t the outside world—this is the alliance headquarters!

There are only two of you. Do you really think you can take them on?

Qin Luo smiled calmly. “Relax. We’ll make our move, of course.”

“But there’s only one target.”

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. “Dealing with that person will save us a lot of trouble.”
