Everyone looked at Ash who was sitting on the red leather chair.
Ash was wearing a dark red windbreaker with his legs crossed, but he was not stupid enough to wear a mask indoors. He was wearing pajamas under his windbreaker and slippers on his feet. Compared with others, he was like a mudslide in the funeral office.
However, the familiarity between his eyebrows, the corresponding clothes and equipment, and more importantly, the Gospel has already named and cursed him, so everyone has to admit that the mysterious and domineering man in the first portrait of the "Art List" is Ash Hiss in front of them!
"It's been fifty years and you still keep your windbreaker/mask!?" Igula and Liz shouted in unison.
"Ahem!" Harvey got a choke from smoking and looked at Mei and You with a confused look on his face - your focus is so strange that even the necromancer finds it strange.
Ash was also a little confused, but he soon became happy: "Wait, then won't the young lady and I both get the exclusive rewards for the list?"
"Reward? Now is not the time to care about rewards!"
An Nan gave a bitter smile, "Ban Ji!"
The young butler understood and left immediately. Liz asked curiously, "Isn't it a good thing that my sister and father are on the list?"
An Nan sighed and was about to say something, but two rays of light suddenly shot out from her and Ash's gospel books. One fell on the purple moth, leaving marks on her left eye and tongue; the other fell on the cult leader, making his dark red windbreaker surge and flow like a living thing.
"Annan Dolan received the rewards 'Eye of Disaster' and 'Tongue of Liberation'."
"Eye of Disaster: The holder can now identify disasters and will no longer bring them home."
"Tongue of Liberation: The holder can verbally terminate any contract between the two parties if both parties agree."
"Ash Hiss received the rewards 'Devil's Windbreaker' and 'Twisted Mask'."
"Demon Windbreaker: All intelligent beings who see the holder for the first time will undergo a mind test. The higher the holder's mind faction is and the lower the witness's mind faction is, the higher the test difficulty will be, and vice versa. Once the test fails, the witness will be mentally hinted and will not be able to harbor any ill will towards the holder."
"Distortion Mask: Distorts all detection results of the holder. All intelligent creatures will notice the holder's existence at first sight. This effect does not disappear when the mask is equipped or not, and it is always effective."
Starting from the 3rd place, the rewards for those on the Art List are basically double, and if it is a single reward, it will also be extremely powerful.
However, no one expected that the reward method would be so crude, shot directly from the Gospel to the people on the list. It can be said to be direct sales from the manufacturer.
In everyone's sight, they vaguely saw that Ash seemed to be wearing a mask, which fit him so well that it seemed as if the mask was his real body and Ash was just a decoration of the mask, but when they looked away, the mask disappeared;
An Nan's pupils are covered with complex purple patterns. At first glance, they look like purple pupils, but a closer look reveals that the pupils are filled with densely packed strange patterns that are enough to drive people with trypophobia crazy!
"Is this... the reward for the Weaving Festival?" An Nan murmured softly.
She covered her right eye and looked around with her left eye, and found that everyone had a halo of different colors on their body surface. Because this eye was called the Eye of Disaster, she temporarily called this kind of vision the Disaster Vision.
Harvey's halo is dark green, which looks disgusting but not very dangerous; Igula's halo is clear dark red, which looks beautiful at first glance and makes people want to get closer, but the center is turbid darkness, which is chilling; Liz's halo is colorful, sometimes dark, sometimes crimson, sometimes pure white, and sometimes sky blue, which makes people confused.
But what An Nan cares about most at this moment is naturally her future portrait model, Ash Hiss!
Among all the people, Ash's halo was the thickest, so thick that it almost covered the halos of others. However, the color of his halo was also the most unique, like a flowing rainbow with surging waves. An Nan was completely unable to judge his degree of danger based on the color of his halo!
"Distorts all detection results of the holder"... The effect of the 'Distortion Mask' is actually superior to that of the 'Eye of Disaster'! ?
An Nan's face was gloomy and uncertain. When she opened her right eye, the world in front of her returned to normal and the halo on everyone's body disappeared.
When both eyes are open it is normal vision, and when only the left eye is used to observe it is disaster vision. The Gospel is still very humane in this respect - if the disaster vision is turned on all the time, it will have too great an impact on normal life.
At this time, she found that everyone was looking at her, and Igula asked: "What did you see with the Eye of Disaster?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this." An Nan shook his head: "Everyone pack your bags now. I will only give you 15 minutes. We will leave here in 15 minutes."
"Why?" Ash was surprised and asked, "Is it because of me? The Gospels don't say anything about me. They can't think that I am the source of the disaster..."
"In fact, the Gospel says that there is a long string of words praising Dad's great achievements in the introduction." Liz raised her hand and said, "It's just that it was covered by Dad's power. All the words in the introduction were erased. Dad, you are so powerful!"
"And it's not just the painting itself." Igula said, "Look at the exclusive rewards for the young lady. 'Eyes of Disaster' means to taunt the young lady for bringing you, a disaster, home. 'Tongue of Liberation' is to urge the young lady to terminate the contract with you and drive you out. Goodbye, Ash. I will visit your cardboard box under the overpass later."
Harvey also said, "I recommend staying in the cemetery. For a country as developed as the Kingdom of Gospel, the cemetery must be clean and sanitary. I heard there is a tradition of offering tributes here, so you don't even have to worry about finding food."
Ash looked at the two of them in surprise. He could tell that although the Trickster and the Necromancer were mocking him in their words, they were secretly instigating An Nan - now that An Nan had the ability to cancel the contract, if she really disliked Ash or had other plans, she might really cancel the contract with Ash on the spot.
free!
If he could take this opportunity to escape from An Nan's control, it would be a complete surprise for Ash.
Although Ash has always had a casual attitude of "It's great to be supported by a rich woman", "I have no idea how to make a living", and "Life is incomplete without working", but if he has the opportunity to regain his freedom, he will definitely not hesitate, even if it means facing many risks!
You have to know that when he escaped from Broken Lake, he had to face the pursuit of the Sanctuary Warlocks and the exclusion of the whole society. There was no place for Ash to stay except the home of the Veela.
But now he doesn't even have a wanted warrant, not to mention his reward, the 'distorted mask' that can resist others' predictions about him, and the 'devil windbreaker' that can intimidate strangers. The social atmosphere of the Gospel Kingdom is so harmonious and united that it is simply not comparable to the group of unruly people in the Blood Moon Kingdom.
Even in Shattered Lake Prison Break, where the environment was so harsh, Ash was able to resolutely break his iron rice bowl; now that he has such excellent conditions for starting a business, there is no way that Ash would be afraid of being fired by An Nan. At worst, he could become a self-employed business owner. He has long been accustomed to starting over in a strange city.
However, An Nan did not seem to be planning to let go of his outstanding employee: "It has nothing to do with the painting. Don't say that this painting implies that Ash is the disaster that destroyed the Gospel world. Even if this painting praises Ash for saving the Gospel Kingdom, marrying the princess, and leading the people of the country to stride into the heavenly society, we have to run away!"
"Our danger is only related to Ash being on the list!"
Igula stood up suddenly: "Because Ash is an outsider?"
"That's right!" An Nan nodded heavily. "Once other people find out that Ash has no past, they will know that Ash is an outsider, but I am the director of the firm who is with Ash... The idea of using outsiders to exploit loopholes in the Weaving Festival has been around for a long time, but there are only a few who have succeeded. Only our Duolan tribe has experience."
"When they associate me with Ash, they won't think that Ash will really bring disaster to the Gospel Kingdom. They will only think that this is a miracle I created, and that I successfully disguised Ash as a sweet and gorgeous cake. That's why the Gospel Book gives him a five-star rating!"
"The plan has been exposed." An Nan's face was extremely ugly: "Our enemy is not the gospel, but--"
"Miss!" The young butler screamed and rushed out with a suitcase: "The hovercraft has lost contact!"
An Nan was startled. She saw Yaxiu suddenly pull out a long sword from his mouth and slash at her heavily.
Miracle Sword Barrier!
boom!
The floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony exploded, and dozens of drones rushed into the room, but this time they did not deliver express deliveries, but light machine guns!
"Long-range defense!" Following An Nan's order, Panji, Harvey, and Igulla's bodies automatically responded -
Ice Miracle: Ricochet Ice Curtain!
Miracle of the Dead·Life Link!
Miracle of the Mind·Cold-blooded Form!
They didn't really just eat, drink and have fun these days, because An Nan had a compulsory contractual relationship with them that overrides thinking, so An Nan could use orders to let everyone complete tactical operations at the same time, and cooperate seamlessly like playing chess!
The ricocheting ice curtain can effectively resist the storm of bullets, the life link can lock the blood of the seriously injured, the cold-blooded form can make the recipient forget the fear and pain, and with Ash's sword body barrier, these four miracles are enough to ensure that the funeral office has the power to protect itself when facing long-range attacks!
Dadadadada——
The sound of gunfire exploding, which made one's scalp numb and brain boil, echoed in the room. Ash held Annan in one hand and Liz in the other, and quickly retreated behind the crowd.
Before he could catch his breath, his vision went dark, and a spider-like object suddenly jumped out and hugged his face.
"careful!"
These mechanical spiders, which usually have no sense of existence and are only responsible for housework, suddenly pounced on everyone like crazy, and would quickly explode once they get close!
boom!
boom!
boom!
The mechanical spiders close to Igula and others were blown up by them in advance, and the only one that escaped was the mechanical spider that jumped on Ash's face!
Bang!
With a muffled sound from close at hand, the mechanical spider that was hugging Ash's face fell down.
Ash, who was still in shock, saw An Nan, who was in pajamas, holding a submachine gun in one hand, with smoke rising from the muzzle. It was obvious that the young lady had saved the young employee's life.
However, Ash keenly noticed that there was a crystal amethyst earring shaking under the muzzle of the submachine gun, but the amethyst earring that An Nan had been touching all the time was gone.
He suddenly remembered what An Nan said: "As a swordsman, you never carry a sword. This is enough to explain the problem. Any weapon master will carry a weapon with him."
An Nan noticed his gaze, patted the buttstock and said, "This is the second young lady, Donna. Her mother is from the Absolute Blade Machinery Company. She is usually shy and has a sister complex. She is good at spitting out 9mm bullets. Why don't you say thank you to her?"
"Thank you, Second Miss!"
At this time, the drone finished its round of shooting, and the ice curtain was shattered. The eldest lady looked at the two figures walking down from the hovercraft on the edge of the balcony and exhaled slowly: "You are the only ones who are good at controlling intelligent devices such as drones and spiders in Azula."
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Purple Moth from the funeral office." The young man smiled and said, "I am the combat specialist of Jiahao Yueyuan Office, Maynard Keynes."
"Logistics specialist, Liman Sir." The long-haired lady said coldly.
"Excuse me for disturbing you, but you seem to have travel plans, but we hope you can stay for a while because the head of our firm is on the way."
"She is eager to work closely with the funeral home."
"What cooperation?" An Nan said coldly.
"Of course..."
Maynard called out his gospel and turned to Annan, only to see four photos inside. They were Ash, Igula, Harvey, and Liz!
“We all work together to develop scarce resources.”
