"Will this 'apocalypse' state continue?" Ash glanced at everyone, "And your next steps don't seem to include work... So are our funeral agency going to be disbanded on the spot?"
"It's not work now, but a daily communication link to grow feelings." An Nan said: "But 'Apocalypse' is definitely not all-weather. In the lower-level cities, there is only a 5-minute quota of Apocalypse per hour."
As Annan finished speaking, Harvey finally lit up the cat grass cigarette. This was like a signal of liberation. Igula instantly relaxed and returned to normal. Panji closed his notebook and exited the code letter pig form. Annan also let go of Ash's hand, but still sat next to him.
Only Liz lowered her head and buried it in his arms, like an ostrich who dared not show up to see people.
"How does it feel?" Ash asked.
"Honestly, I feel pretty good." The necromancer blew a smoke ring towards the underground city and said, "The irresistible addiction is suppressed by a more noble rationality, and the absolute will is above all hormones... It's like returning to the relaxed days before I was imprisoned."
"Indeed." Banji could not help but nod his head. "It's like a blocked sewer is unblocked. All thoughts become clear as soon as they are thought about. The name "Apocalypse" is well deserved. And unlike Fanmula's "White Mist", "Apocalypse" brings spiritual satisfaction, not the physiological satisfaction brought by the irritating gas forcibly stimulating the receptors. If there are 5 minutes of such good time every hour, it's no wonder that so many people are willing to stay in the underground city."
"That sounds pretty good." Ash looked at the Trickster: "But why are you acting so painful, Igula? Can't you just follow your intuition?"
Igula stared at the cult leader fiercely: "Who do you think did this?!"
Ash spread his hands: "Could it still be me?"
The trickster took a deep breath, turned his head and said, "...As a well-prepared psychic, I have already made my own choice. I don't need "Revelation" to help me judge what is best!"
"Yash." An Nan suddenly asked, "You didn't enter Apocalypse just now?"
"At least I don't feel any changes." Ash pondered, "Maybe I am already as smart as Apocalypse?"
Harvey choked on the cigarette, Igu pulled the corner of his mouth and spilled some of the pancakes and tea, Annan put her arm around Ash's shoulder and laughed until tears came out, and Liz's shoulders were shaking with laughter.
When Ash saw this, he got angry. He said, "I can't beat the others, but I can still bully Liz," and continued to rub his dog's head angrily.
However, it is not surprising that Ash does not have Apocalypse. After all, Ash is defined as a "disorderly person" in the Gospel, which means that Ash is not even considered a migrant worker now. At most, he is an invasive species with a very high threat level. Naturally, he cannot enjoy the citizen benefits of "Apocalypse".
"Okay." An Nan stood up and said, "Whether it's the Yisu royal family or anyone else, no matter who is imitating Ash to commit crimes, it's actually a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. Our goal has always been the Lord's wish, and the "Assassination of the Princess" plan cannot be changed because of these small accidents. Let's go, my appointment time is almost up."
"Where are you going?"
"Nabisteen is the most likely person to know where the princess lives."
…
…
Outside the sewer entrance, Ash watched Panji stuff three Crow Air motorcycles into a suitcase, and couldn't help but say to Igula and Harvey, "Why don't you two have such a good list reward?"
"My list reward is very good," Harvey said. "The Ghost King Shackles can turn me into a dead creature directly. This reward means to me just like turning you into your favorite game character."
Perhaps it was the sequelae of the apocalypse, Harvey's eloquence suddenly soared, and Ash was speechless for a moment and couldn't refute at all. He looked at Igula. Igula raised his eyebrows: "My list reward is the kingdom gold coins that can protect the spiritual will. I gave it to Anfel because-"
"I'm sorry." Ash apologized immediately.
"Why are you being so humble——"
"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant. I was bold enough to ask about your token of love."
At this time, An Nan motioned them to go in, and Zang Yi and his group went deep into the sewers of the underground city. Although it was a sewer, it was not dirty or smelly, but it was not clear under the dim light. Moreover, unlike a normal sewer, the walking area was in the middle of the waterway, with water on both sides, and the sirens in the water were eyeing them with weapons.
As they walked in it, Ash and the others felt like Lala Fei who had walked onto the dining table on his own initiative, and they had an indescribable sense of panic.
Led by a mermaid, they came to the end of the sewer, the mermaid palace of Nabistin. Just like the service industry outside, the palace is divided into many office areas, namely "characters", "events", "forces", "magic"... In addition to them, there are also many cloaked people who conceal their identities and handle business while exercising.
Seeing such a formal service place, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but An Nan asked at this time: "Aren't we going to the "People" area?"
"Please follow me." The mermaid did not answer, but led them deeper into the mermaid palace. When they arrived in front of a meeting room, she gestured for them to come in.
Everyone at the funeral looked at each other and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the surrounding waters were full of siren guards and they had no room to retreat.
An Nan pushed open the door of the conference room and saw a long table in the bright conference room. However, the long table was surrounded by waterways instead of chairs. Ten sirens were scattered among the waterways, and various sports equipment were placed around them. Their sticky and moist eyes swept across the funeral guests unscrupulously.
"Sirimoro?" The purple moth saw an acquaintance at a glance: "Why are you here in Nabisteen?"
Sri Malo is a sea witch from the Azula sewer. When Annan first created fake resumes for Ash and others, he asked Sri Malo for help, and even used up the favor that Annan had earned by helping Sri Malo become a sea witch. You have to know that the price discount brought by this favor can save the funeral office thousands of Gospel points every year.
"The night you left Azula, I was also called back to Nabisteen." Srimoruo shrugged and looked at the sea witch sitting in the main seat: "But I am not the one in charge here."
An Nan also looked over and felt that the sea witch seemed familiar: "I made an appointment for the mermaid service as an ordinary customer. Now even ordinary customers can enjoy the personal hospitality of ten sea witches?"
"Of course ordinary customers are not eligible." The main sea witch said, "But the arrival of Purple Moth, Rusty Crow, Ghost King and Demon Lord is worthy of our highest standard of reception."
"Can you predict our arrival?"
"Water knows everything." The sea witch held out her hand: "You also know our rules. Please choose the fitness equipment you like."
The most peculiar hobby of mermaids: watching people exercise. Especially when talking about business or cooperation, if you don't sweat, the mermaids will think you are looking down on them. Before coming, Ash and others knew this custom, so there was no surprise, and they all chose a piece of equipment to practice.
Igula, who had the worst physical fitness, chose the elliptical machine, Harvey chose parallel bars, Panji chose the horizontal bar, Ash and Annan both chose bicycles, and Liz chose skipping rope.
When they all started to move, the sea witch said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the chairman of the Ten Sea Witches Council, one of the seven seats in the Nabisteen grassroots decision-making group, and the general manager of the Nabisteen Mermaid Palace—"
"The first sea witch, Helephis."
Everyone at the funeral was startled for a moment, then their faces changed drastically, and they all drew their weapons -
Click!
Gun turrets quickly rose up from the ceiling and walls, with the cold and ruthless steel aimed at the guests who dared to act wildly in someone else's home turf.
However, Ash and the others had no choice because the opponent was Helephis!
Second on the "Evil Magic List", 'Chaos Witch' Helephis!
Although the Evil List has shown that Helephais is a siren, there are so many sirens of good news. There are sirens in every city, and there are also many in the Six Emblems Family. They never thought that they were just here to buy information, but they happened to meet Helephais, and Helephais is the leader of the mermaids!
It's like going out to buy a pack of cigarettes and meeting an enemy who wants to eat Ash!
If they don't take the initiative to reveal information like the name of the leader of the otherworld organization, An Nan won't be able to collect it!
If the meeting was before dusk, Ash and the others wouldn't be so nervous, but Rogge, who was ranked fifth on the Evil List, had just committed suicide, and they came to find Helephis, who was ranked second on the Evil List. If they put themselves in their shoes, they all felt that they were looking for trouble!
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Helephis raised his hand and all the guns and turrets were retracted.
She said, "Are you still going to talk business? Life is about movement, and the siren is about flow. If you want to talk business, don't stop."
Everyone in the funeral looked at each other, An Nan nodded slightly, and then everyone put away their weapons and continued to move very nervously.
"Let me guess." Helephis propped up his chin and said, "I guess the information you want is where the next Queen Yisu, who will become the princess of the First Gospel, is now?"
"Then do you know?" An Nan asked.
"I know." said Helephis.
