Igula's sudden question made An Nan raise his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

"My lady," Igula said slowly, "From the very beginning, we accepted your invitation and became members of the funeral agency. From the very beginning, you didn't explain to us in detail the significance of the Weaving Ceremony to us - you didn't even tell us that this was an adventure that required risking our lives."

An Nan narrowed his eyes: "I didn't expect that the first list would be--"

"But now, Ash's interests have been damaged by your plan."

Igula straightened his back and looked directly at An Nan: "His identity as an outsider is well known to everyone. He is wanted by the Gospel Nation. He was even mistaken by the Gospel Book as someone who is related to the future disaster. Miss, you can't say that Ash's current treatment is his own fault and has nothing to do with you, right?"

Panji couldn't help but say: "But our plan hasn't started yet, Ash..."

"Of course it has something to do with me."

An Nan raised his hand to stop Pan Ji from speaking, and said calmly: "If I hadn't dragged Ash into this plan, perhaps none of this would have happened - Mr. Borgin, is this what you mean?"

Igula smiled and said, "I don't mean to resent you, Miss. After all, I'm not Ash. But now a new problem has arisen. Should we discuss solutions?"

"How do we solve this?" An Nan raised his lips. "Should I cancel the wanted order for Ash? Or should I remove Ash from the Art List?"

There was silence in the basement. Panti and Harvey didn't say anything. Ash and Liz hugged each other and trembled - Annan's aura was too strong when he was negotiating with Igula, and they didn't dare to interrupt at all.

"How can I force you to do these impossible things, Miss?" Igula tilted his head: "But since the problem cannot be solved, then Miss, you should at least... make up for Ash's losses?"

What, I can still lose money?

Ash blinked and secretly cheered for Igula.

An Nan suddenly asked, "The person involved is obviously Ash, and Ash hasn't even spoken yet. Why are you so impatient to fight for Ash's interests, Mr. Borgin?"

Ash was stunned and thought, yes, why would the male veela stand up for me?

The fraudster lowered his eyelids, "…This time it was Ash, but the next wanted person might be me. If I don't speak up for this fool now, who will speak up for the smart guy later?"

"oh……?"

An Nan's expression was a little subtle: "You think you are a smart person? But I don't think so. I think you are the fool."

Now even Ash felt that the young lady was going a bit too far - you can say that Igula is as ugly as an orc, eats like an ogre, and bathes like a goblin, but you can never question Igula's IQ, because this is the core technology he relies on most!

However, Igula did not refute, but just looked at An Nan quietly, as if he was disdainful of engaging in a boring argument with An Nan.

…

…

The sky sets the price, the earth returns the money.

It was impossible for An Nan to really compensate Ash for his work-related injury, not to mention that Ash's wanted order had nothing to do with her. Even if it was really related to her, it was impossible for her to do whatever Igula said - status was like a seesaw, when one side rises, the other side falls. If An Nan bowed her head now, she would keep bowing her head in the future.

Kindness and weakness are inseparable identical twins. Annan is happy to show her kindness, but the premise is that she cannot let others think she is weak. Igula, Harvey, and Ash are fugitives who escaped from other countries. Even if they did not show their cruel character a few days ago, it does not mean that they are good people.

In the eyes of law firm practitioners, everyone is a potential murderer. Just a little test of their humanity will reveal that their daily lives that have always maintained their rationality are so fragile. When they embrace reality, the heavy reality will take them into the deep sea.

But what’s interesting is that this is also the trickster’s understanding of human nature: as long as you are not a god, you can be deceived, because the trickster and God are of the same nature—they have the ability to fulfill any of your wishes.

Therefore, Annan and Igulla have always had a tacit understanding in the negotiations - don't test the other party's bottom line and stop when you are ahead.

The final result was that the eldest lady signed a new contract with the employees. There was only one clause in this contract: no matter what happened, An Nan must value Ash, Igula, Harvey, and Liz as much as he valued himself.

This contract has only one purpose: to completely eliminate the possibility of Annan betraying Ash.

Now at least they don’t have to worry about An Nan helping Red Hat lead the way to find the beautiful girl Ash.

As for the duty hours, since they had to use the Gospel Book for investigation, An Nan and Pan Ji were responsible for one shift each. Originally, Ash wanted to be on duty for the first half of the night, but Liz, the only one who didn't have to be on duty, insisted on holding Ash to sleep.

"Shouldn't you normally sleep with your mother in your arms?" Ash said, lying on the wooden floor, complaining, "Why are you clinging to me..."

"What about my mother?" Liz's straight shot was still so fast.

"If you want a good experience, you can find Sister An Nan. If you like tall people, you can find Aunt Bo Jin. Liz, you are already a mature child. You should learn to find your own mother... Oh, do I want to tell you a bedtime story?"

"No!" Liz shook her head firmly and held Ash's hand: "That's fine."

Ash looked at Liz with droopy eyelids and felt a little envious - he had long since left the age where he could fall asleep whenever he wanted.

Speaking of which, it’s time to go to the virtual realm... huh?

etc!

How do I get to the virtual world?

All my magic spirits are spoils of war, there is not a single pure love magic spirit that I grew up with!

Ash, who has never opened the door of truth, is like a playboy with many lovers. He is very happy and has someone to support him, but he can't find his way home at night.

And only then did he remember that he had postponed tonight's exploration of the virtual world.

Ash quietly summoned the Gospel and turned to the page of the Magician's Manual to see if the Witch and Sword Lady were already exploring the virtual world. But when he opened it, he found that the exploration team had been disbanded.

"It has been detected that an operator is in a plot state. The team's exploration is temporarily suspended."

There are operators in the plot state... Wait, am I an operator too?

The team's exploration was suspended, so everyone naturally went their own way. Ash looked around and found that the witch was not in the virtual world, maybe she had finished her exploration and left; but the sword lady was still in the virtual world, so Ash could go in and take a look.

Why is it that Sword Lady's exploration time is longer than that of Witch? Without a sports car, Sword Lady and Witch can only walk. Logically, Witch, who has more exploration experience, should be able to last longer than Sword Lady...

However, Ash didn't think much about it and quickly chose to enter the virtual world through Sword Girl's Gate of Truth.

The Gate of Truth does not move with the magician, so Ash can only come to the position where Sword Lady was more than two hours ago, and he doesn't know where Sword Lady is now...

As his consciousness descended into the virtual world, Ash opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a sports car.

Sure enough, without exploring the virtual realm in team mode, Sword Lady could not borrow her own sports car. This time she really had to measure the scale of the Time Continent with her feet.

He opened the virtual map and wanted to see the exact location of Sword Lady. If it wasn't too far away, he would drive there immediately.

If it's far away... I have to drive there. After all, I was the one who missed the show tonight, so I have to give her an explanation. Besides, Ash alone can't explore the virtual world.

For this stowaway who had been illegally forming a team from the very beginning, exploring the virtual world with two people can be called an adventure, while exploring the virtual world with one person is called wandering.

However, when Ash opened the map, he saw two magician icons next to each other.

One is him, the viewer.

The other one is...

Ash turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a girl sitting on the lawn behind the sports car with her legs crossed, her body swaying rhythmically, as if she was humming a song.

Sonia on the lawn seemed to sense something and looked back.

"Why are you still here?"

"Because I'm waiting for you."
