"Liz, stop moving. If you move again we're all going to be killed!"

On the road out of Azula, a group of people from the funeral office were doing a healthy night ride.

Yes, they are riding bicycles.

After leaving the core urban area of ​​Azula, which was the edge of the second-tier city, An Nan asked everyone to get off the car, then released the hovercraft, allowing it to escape freely in another direction.

"Don't get caught by evil humans again," Ash thought as he watched the hovercraft go away.

Needless to say, even Ash knew the meaning of this action: continuing to drive would only expose their specific location, and they might even explode while driving.

Although according to the confidentiality rules of the Gospel, others cannot directly locate the location of Ash and others, but they can find ways to track their vehicles. All vehicles with automatic operating systems are calling the data analysis of the Gospel. In front of NTR enthusiasts like Jiahao Yueyuan Agency who like to control other people's cars, it is only a matter of time before they become victims.

Changing transportation was inevitable, but it was already the seventeenth century, and not only the Gospel Kingdom, but even the Blood Moon Kingdom was promoting transportation automation. Therefore, when they were preparing to escape from Azura, the only safe means of transportation they could find was a bicycle.

In addition to single-person bicycles, there are also two-person and three-person bicycles. In addition, the light screen above the bicycle shed is playing images of orc-elf couples and their children traveling together. It can be imagined that these bicycles should be used for hiking in the suburbs rather than for escaping.

By the way, is this couple image of the orc-elf an official model couple combination recognized by the Gospel Kingdom?

The scene suddenly became funny: everyone rode bicycles to escape from the pursuit of the Red Hat and the agency, and An Nan was wearing pajamas and Yaxiu was wearing slippers...

Fortunately, there are not many cars on the roads outside the city center at night, otherwise if someone saw them, they would probably think they were some weird reconstituted family.

Ash was responsible for carrying Liz. Although there were bicycles for children, they were slow and... Liz didn't know how to ride.

So Liz could only sit in the back seat of Ash's car, but she seemed to really treat this as a temporary trip, and she was very restless and swaying around. After scolding her, Ash felt that the little girl finally calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the cool night breeze and thinking about his current situation.

There is no doubt that the reason why tonight's peaceful working life suddenly turned into an escape plot was all because of him.

Although he did nothing, his presence was stamped by the Gospels as contrary to public morality.

Ash still hasn't figured out why he's on the art list, and as a work of art - he can only be thankful that the creator is Annan and not Harvey - although the Gospel ranks his portrait first, making it look like a fanatical fan, but in fact it's more of a hater than a fan.

Even though the Gospels do not mention anything about what Ash did, the first nine paintings clearly show that the Gospel Kingdom has encountered a disaster, but the work ranked first is a personal portrait. Anyone with a little imagination will not think that Ash is an innocent tourist passing by.

Either you are a savior angel or the source of all evil, there is no other option.

Obviously, the Imperial Center believed the latter. In fact, Ash also thought it was the latter - he didn't think he had the courage to save the world.

However, he did not really think that he would achieve something infamous in the future. He simply felt that his resume had been tainted by An Nan and Yong Jie Chang Zai.

That's right, Eternal Tribulation is always there. Ash still remembers the colleague who didn't know how to wipe his shit. The new profession she left for him, 'Eternal Tribulation Walker', still exists. Ash strongly suspects that he will be on the art list. It is likely that the Eternal Tribulation Walker finally took effect and triggered the "Critical Luck Check -50", so it was identified by the Gospel as a disaster for this world.

Just like when a project was losing money and was about to collapse, the angry boss wanted to randomly lay off someone to vent his anger, so he pointed at Ash.

In addition, An Nan is also a strong suspect. According to her, in order to interfere with the future weaving of the Gospel, she has been exaggerating the resumes of Ash and others these days. Although there is a high probability that the Gospel does not believe it, what if it does believe it?

Now it’s just in case.

God knows whether Annan added a setting for him similar to "this is a genius magician who never gives up, is full of passion, is good at uniting partners, and his ideal is world peace and mutual understanding among everyone" - if this is really his character setting, then it is not unfair for Ash to be wronged by the Gospel.

But now Ash needs to think about one more issue.

That is whether An Nan will hand him over to ensure his safety.

Although An Nan ran away so quickly, in fact, she didn't need to run away. As long as she agreed to jointly develop Igula and others with Jiahao Yueyuan Agency, Jiahao Yueyuan Agency would immediately become her backer.

She has a way out.

But Ash has no way to retreat. Now the core of the empire has listened to the slander of the Gospel and actually believes that a 0-star waste like Ash will really bring disaster to this land. Once he is caught by the Red Hats, he will surely die, even if the Gospel Kingdom talks about human rights.

Imprisonment? Imprisonment for a few years would surely cause resentment and bring disaster!

Exile? If you are exiled, you will definitely feel resentful and take revenge on society!

After being convinced that Ash's future will only bring disaster, all paths leading to the future will be seen as nutrients. The only way to save Ash is to make him have no future.

If it were someone else, Ash would definitely agree to sacrifice his happiness and that of his family, but the problem was that the one to be sacrificed was himself, so of course he would not just give in.

Be prepared for the worst...

Pop.

Ash heard the sound of the safety being released, and then something hard pressed against his lower back.

"...Are all children's rebellious periods so fierce nowadays?"

However, Ash soon realized the reason why Liz was so radical - a floating car was roaring from behind, which brought too heavy a psychological burden to the fugitives.

They rode on the tree-lined road at the edge of the highway. Although it was night, the infrastructure of the Gospel Kingdom was so complete that there was a light every ten steps, and the highway was as bright as a cemetery during the day.

But An Nan and the others did not do anything special. After the hovercraft passed by, Pan Ji explained, "That was an express delivery truck, fully automatic and unmanned. We have not been discovered yet."

"But what about the car's dashcam?" Igulla asked, "If our whereabouts are recorded..."

The biggest reason why Annan chose to flee the city instead of staying in Azura to fight a guerrilla war was that there were too many surveillance cameras in the city. Compared to directly locking the target location, both the Red Hats and the firm preferred to use the Gospel to investigate the surveillance cameras - surveillance cameras did not have the same high confidentiality level as natural persons.

As long as they have left traces on the surveillance camera, others only need to spend some points to obtain their last seen location, which is legal and compliant and a citizen's right.

"This car is headed for the second-tier city of Omido. Even if Azula's people use the Gospel, they can't call up Omido's surveillance data across cities. It will be at least the day after tomorrow before they find us."

"By that time, we'll have appeared in another city."

An Nan rode his bicycle into the path beside the road, and the group followed him in. Soon, they came to a small hill, or a small hillside, which was not even as high as the fir trees on both sides of the road.

"This should be it..."

An Nan signaled everyone to get off the bus, and then she and Ban Ji looked around nearby.

Ash, who was free, glanced at the pistol in Liz's hand and asked, "Where did you get it from?"

"I bought it at the Curtain." Liz said, "In addition to the ten boxes of ammunition, the 'Children's Fun Ammunition Gift Pack' also includes a box of kitten ammunition, a box of puppy ammunition, and a very rare box of fat Lala ammunition! Only one of the ten big gift packs will be available!"

"What is the use of special bullets?"

"It looks great! Biubiubiu! If I cum on someone else, they will be happy too, right?"

"A kid can actually buy a gun from Veil, and have it delivered to her home... In this respect, it's much more open than Blood Moon." Ash stretched out his hand to lower the muzzle of her gun: "Remember not to point the muzzle at people, and your insurance is not turned off... Leave it to me for safekeeping."

"No!"

Liz showed an expression like a little animal protecting its food. She shook her head firmly and held the pistol tightly. "We... Liz needs the pistol to protect herself!"

"I will protect you. Have you forgotten our contract?"

"But you don't mean it, Dad."

Ash's outstretched hand was knocked aside and he blinked. The tacit understanding that had been built up over the past few days of eating, drinking and having fun was completely shattered by this blow.

The white-haired little girl showed a trace of loneliness on her face. She lowered her head and looked at her toes. She lowered her voice and said, "You actually hate me in your heart, right? I was the one who insisted on dragging you and making you sign an agreement to protect me... Who would want a daughter who only brings trouble?"

"If there were no danger, we could continue playing the father-daughter game." She clenched her pistol, "But the game is over."

Xavi and Igulla glanced at them and turned their heads to look around.

Ash looked at the little hedgehog in front of him, but he wasn't too surprised.

Just as Liz said, their relationship was just for show. At the beginning, Liz just wanted to maintain a superficial father-daughter relationship with him to paralyze An Nan, but these days were too peaceful, so peaceful that when Ash heard the word "Dad", he would subconsciously turn his head.

The illusion of a peaceful life has been broken, and it is time for them to return to the reality of life and death.

That being said…

Ash squatted in front of Liz, his eyes level with hers.

"Be nice when you ask Aunt Borgin to braid your hair. The trick is to braid your own hair into an ugly braid first, and then he won't be able to stand it."

"Um."

"The best place to play games is with Pancakes, followed by Harvey. But remember not to go into Harvey's room when you're looking for him."

"Um."

"And when you were looking for the young lady..."

Liz couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she grabbed his sleeve and pulled it awkwardly.

"Will you ignore me from now on?"

Ash raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say the game is over? Then you and I will be strangers from now on. At most, due to the restrictions of the contract, I will come out to save you when you are in danger."

"I'm not saying it's over forever," Liz muttered.

"So what do you mean? When things are bad, we're Ash, when things are good, we're dad. When danger strikes, we want to be comrades, and when things are stable, we want to be father and daughter?"

Liz twisted her body restlessly and said with a pout, "Is it not possible?"

Ash said, "You said I hate you, why should I cooperate with you? You don't listen to me, so why should I listen to you?"

The little girl's eyes were misty, and she took out a small mirror and looked down without saying a word. After a while, she held out the pistol with grievance. Ash stretched out his hand and pulled it, but it didn't move, so he had to use force to grab it.

As he examined the pistol, he asked, "Have you ever learned how to use a gun?"

Liz didn't say anything, or rather she refused to say anything, her nose twitching. When Ash asked her the second time, she shouted in dissatisfaction, "I haven't learned it!"

"Well - do you want to learn?"

"Hmm?" Liz looked at Ash in confusion: "Will you teach me?"

"I haven't learned it either, so I can't teach you."

Liz didn't say anything, just looked at Ash with an expression that said 'you're here to pick a fight, right?' Ash shrugged, "But we can learn from Panji. When we settle down, how about we learn gunmanship from Panji together? I wonder if Panji has any gunmanship skills that he must teach his children in the future..."

Liz also remembered the games in Panji's cabinet that he wanted to play with his kids in the future, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Maybe Panji will let us play the gun game."

After ejecting the bullet from the chamber and checking the safety, Ash returned the pistol to Liz in front of her surprised gaze: "Don't use the pistol unless it's really an emergency. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the contract. Whoever wants to hurt you must first step over my dead body."

"...You're not going to take it away?"

"You just said that I wasn't sincere, but in fact, you are the one who has never been sincere." Ash reached out and rubbed Liz's head: "You never believe that adults will protect you, you only believe in yourself."

"How pitiful." He said softly, "Just as pitiful as Igulas and Xavi."

Liz was slightly startled, then shook her head vigorously: "I'm not pitiful!"

"Since you refuse to trust adults, then you should take a weapon that can protect yourself. Liz, you are a smart child, I believe you know the importance of it." Ash smiled, "But you are too smart, so sometimes you think wrongly."

"What did I think was wrong?"

"You said that no one would want a daughter who would only cause trouble. And that's true."

Seeing Liz's mood quickly deteriorating, Ash reached out and flicked her forehead: "But without a child, it will only bring trouble to adults."

Yaxiu couldn't help but think of when he went back to his hometown, his eldest brother always complained to him about the naughty children at home and hoped that his younger brother would beat his nephew more often. After all, it was a rare trip back home - his eldest brother and sister-in-law lived with his parents, and his nephew was usually protected by his grandparents, so he was like a crab walking sideways. His eldest brother wanted to take action several times but was stopped, and his newly bought Seven Wolves belt has never been blessed.

However, when the two of them were having supper and chatting, the elder brother couldn't help showing off to his younger brother what kind of competition his nephew had participated in, and showed him photos of their family trip. His nephew gave him a gift on Father's Day last time, and he was so happy that it was like he had won a magic card in a mobile game.

Although Ash had long been a ruthless money-maker, he seemed to be able to empathize with his elder brother when he saw the joy on his face.

"What do you mean?" Liz covered her forehead, confused.

"What I mean is that you don't even want to call me dad." Ash stood up and laughed.

Liz used to call him by name easily, but now she felt embarrassed and just kept pulling at Ash's sleeve.

“Found it.”

With the joyful sound of pancakes, a door suddenly appeared on the hillside, with a staircase extending underground. Everyone hurriedly pushed their bicycles in, and with the sound of their footsteps, the lights in the stairwell lit up one by one, like a belated knock on the door, waking up the sleeping owner.

When they reached the end, a fully equipped basement appeared before them.

"Finally I can take a break."

An Nan let out a long sigh, went over to lie on the assembled sofa and rolled lazily for a few rounds, then sat up and said to everyone: "Welcome to my grandfather's tomb."
