"If you are dead, then congratulations to you and me."
"I've been thinking about how to address you and me, but in the end I decided to treat each other as independent individuals. After all, memory is the carrier of personality. Although it's like talking to myself in the mirror, I am in the past and you are in the future."
"According to Rose, this is my third visit to the stars. Since there are no records before, I don't know what they have discovered. I can only record my achievements this time—"
"Angel First Chain: Mystery"
"A magician who is seen and perceived by mortals will lose its power. In simple terms, once a magician's power is exposed in front of ordinary people, the magician's magic power will collapse and the magic spirit will die. From a silver magician to a legendary magician, if you dare to show off your power in front of others, you will return to being an ordinary person."
"This is the most friendly chain to me. In this world, the power of mortals is infinitely enhanced, and magicians are weakened to the extreme. As long as I have power and money, I can easily destroy any foreign magician."
"However, if all the witnesses are sorcerers, then this chain will not take effect. It is worth mentioning that because this is a chain that binds angels, angels are not considered sorcerers. They cannot display any mystical abilities, but they will not be affected by any mystical abilities either."
"The angel's real body has not been captured by the Starry Lord yet. There are only projections of the angel in the Starry Kingdom. We have enough time to make arrangements."
From here, the color of the handwriting changed from blue to black, which was obviously information left at different time periods. Ash, Igula and Harvey looked at each other and saw that each other's faces were extremely ugly.
They almost showed their magician's fighting power in front of ordinary people!
If they use the magician's combat power to drive away the thugs, and use the magician's miracle to cleanse themselves, then their magic power and magic spirit will be instantly evaporated by the First Chain of Angels!
Ash was still frightened. Fortunately, he didn't show off his magician's miracles in front of Rose, otherwise he would have gone back to half a year ago!
But compared to the chains, the most crucial content of this information is the real target of Hiss (the Four Pillar Gods) and the Lord of Stars - the angels!
But there are many explanations for angels. Which angel are they trying to deal with?
"Transferring entertainment works can really help you accumulate capital quickly. Fortunately, the civilization level of the Stars and Blood Moon is similar, otherwise I don't know how I can make money."
"Rose said that this is my sixth time back to the stars. I don't know why I didn't leave any information the first two times. Maybe I didn't read the history book so I didn't find this notebook. Or maybe I didn't gain anything so I just didn't write it down."
"Angel's Second Chain: One Heart"
"The first chain is powerful enough, but the second chain is the key for the Starry Lord to capture the angel. The angel is not a human, and it does not have a heart, but the Starry Lord forcibly gave it a mind and used emotions to forge a chain to bind it."
"Under the influence of the same heart, all the projections of the stars will have different emotions and personalities from the original body. Not opposite, but different. For example, if the original body is calmer, the projection will be more irritable; if the original body has mysophobia, the projection will become sloppy; if the original body has great ambitions, the projection will just muddle through... It's like there is a box full of all the emotions and personalities. Whatever the original body takes, the projection will take what's left."
"That being said, there is a possibility that the real body and the projection may have ended up in the same place, but I won't go into details."
"For angels, their true bodies are undoubtedly emotionless, so under the forced influence of the chains, the angel projections will gradually develop emotions. With the chain of emotions, the angel's true body will be more easily pulled into the Star Cage."
"But there should be another use here: the concentric chain will connect the hearts of the main body and the projection. If the angel's main body cannot be pulled in, then as long as the angel's projection is killed, the angel's main body will be flooded with emotions and completely win the heart! At that time, the Starry Master will naturally have countless ways to deal with the angel with a heart."
Seeing this, Ash and the others have been able to confirm who the angel mentioned in this notebook is.
The heartless and inhuman angel naturally does not refer to the magicians who have entered the realm of God, but refers to the most powerful existence in Ruby Mountain, the Ruby Angel who always stands on the top of Ruby Mountain and once made half of the magician's manual for magicians who walked the path of origin, such as the Ghost Prophet, the Lake Angel, and the King of Time!
Although the Heart Chain was interesting, Ash and the others didn't pay much attention to it until they saw the third message:
"I didn't expect the Heart Chain could be used this way."
"The Star Touch was entrusted to me through the Four Pillars, and I couldn't refuse it. After all..."
"In addition to angels, the Heart Chain also applies to all projections. If a projection dies before the original body, the projection's emotions will flow back into the original body. In other words, if I kill a projection, I can cause the emotions to flow back into the original body, causing the original body's temperament to change drastically, or even completely change its personality."
"This method is especially effective for the original body with a weak will. I managed to kill four projections. Except for one original body that was completely unaffected, the other three original bodies at least became weird in character and no longer hindered the star's sense of touch."
"By the way, although it has nothing to do with the chains, it is worth noting down - I know why the Kingdom of Stars is so much more peaceful than the Real Kingdom."
"The leaders of the stars are basically projections of the leaders of the many stars. Although the leaders of the many stars are not obsessed with power, they are at least extremely power-hungry, and are infinitely close to the upper limit of the blessing of the stars. Because of the influence of the Concentric Chain, there are more people on the many stars side and fewer people on the many stars side. Naturally, the power desire of the leaders of the stars has weakened a lot, and there is almost no factional struggle."
"The same is true for the general public, but the turbulent waves in the hearts of ordinary people cannot affect the order at all. Ordinary people who go with the flow in the stars will not change anything in the stars."
Emotional backflow phenomenon… ?
As long as the projection is killed, the real body can be distorted through emotional backflow?
Ash felt vaguely uneasy and continued reading the fourth message.
"There are no other chains. The Star Master spent a thousand years to create these two chains and the cage. In fact, it has proven to be worth it. Before the cage is opened, only I can enter it."
"This starry sky is a prison."
"The Starry Lord stole three sky domes from Hell. He placed one in the Starry Kingdom and one in the All Stars Kingdom. That's why the Starry Kingdom can be projected onto the All Stars Kingdom."
"The Four Pillar Gods said that when an angel is captured and brought into the Kingdom of Stars, the two sides of the Hell Sky Curtain will enter a state of resonance, and Ruby Mountain will be completely sealed off. Only magicians from the Kingdom of Stars can enter Ruby Mountain, and magicians from other kingdoms can't even enter. Then the Starry Master can slowly search for the imprisoned angel."
"If magicians from other countries sneak into the Stars, they will fall into the trap set by the Stars Master. Ruby Mountain is a place where people can enter but not leave. The magicians will be forced to stay in the Stars Kingdom and will be easily found and destroyed by the Stars government."
"But I still haven't found the angel projection. It seems to have possessed the existing projection, making it too difficult to find."
"But my efforts have not been in vain. I am now successful in my career and have good relations with all walks of life. No matter what the Starry Lord wants to do, I can use the 'power of mortals' to defeat him. He was only concerned with forging a cage and locking the angels in it, but he didn't know that the Four Pillars had already sent me to control the cage."
"I just have to wait for Him to lock the angel in."
Fifth message:
"I should have thought of that earlier."
"How could the other gods miss the hunt for the Ruby Angel? The Star Lord wants it, the Four Pillars want it, and the other gods want it too."
"The Four Pillars informed me that the gods created several 'demons' in the Kingdom of Stars by corroding the Ruby Mountain. The demons can manipulate the magicians and call upon their combat power, but they are not affected by the mysterious chains."
“Once the angels are captured and put into the Star Cage, the other gods will send legendary magicians into Ruby Mountain and be imprisoned in the Star Cage as well. After all, the Star Cage is inside the Ruby Mountain. When they find the demons, they will be able to unleash their legendary combat power in the Star Kingdom without any scruples and hunt down the angels!”
"But it's very disadvantageous for me. I don't have any magician's combat power. I can only call on the power of mortals. But the Four Pillars told me not to worry. As long as I complete the tactile ritual, I will gain the power to solve all problems."
Last message:
"The End Seer, this is the name of my complete sense of touch."
"Once I complete the ritual, I will not only be able to leave my body, but also become a perfect angel container, containing the Ruby Angel, and gaining a status beyond the Lord God. Unlike other Lord Gods, the Four Pillar Gods are not interested in obtaining the power of the Ruby Angel. They simply hate the angel and wish it would die immediately."
"This should be my last message. Next time I will return as the final viewer."
"Then, I will stand on the top of Ruby Mountain and kill the angels. Under the gaze of the gods and the admiration of all living beings, I will be crowned as the supreme being beyond the six wings."
Ash closed his notebook and fell into a long silence.
Rose patted his head and said, "I know you feel bad. After all, it would be embarrassing if someone found and read this kind of dark history diary."
"Rose," Ash said, "Can you make me a cup of hot tea?"
"no problem."
After Rose left the library, Ash let out a long sigh, "It's not a problem with my props - we are indeed in Ruby Mountain now."
The Kingdom of Stars is the projection of the Kingdom of Stars inside Ruby Mountain.
As soon as Ash, Igula, Harvey and the others arrived at Ruby Mountain, they were pulled into the Kingdom of Stars.
They can't go back to reality now because Ruby Mountain is blocked by the starry sky, and the inside and the outside are isolated except for the Starry Kingdom. Even in the Starry Kingdom, one can only log in but not log out.
No wonder the Kingdom of Stars wants to kill all foreign magicians without any room for compromise or negotiation, because in the eyes of the Lord of Stars, all foreign magicians are thieves sent by other gods to pick peaches.
It is not difficult to see that the entire Starry Kingdom is the material used by the Starry Lord to build the Starry Cage. Using mortals to reduce its mysteries and using emotions to activate its soul, everything the Starry Lord did was to put the Ruby Angel into the cage.
He has spent so much energy, time, and resources just to hunt angels, how could he allow others to take advantage of him?
"Why do you want to kill the angel?" Harvey asked, "Do you want to use its body?"
"One God Lord is fine, but if all the God Lords want to kill..." Igula pondered, "That means that if the God Lord wants to reach a higher level, killing angels is a necessary condition."
"The key is how we should leave." Ash sighed: "As long as the Star Master does not unlock the sky curtain, we can't leave. So either the sky curtain is broken, or..."
"The angel is dead." Igula said calmly: "If the prisoner is dead, then there is no need to maintain the cage."
"Find the angel?" Harvey said seriously, "I think the angel is probably in that thousand-year-old skeleton—"
"roll."
Igula looked at Ash: "The notes mentioned that you will become a perfect 'Angel Container' after completing the ritual. Do you feel where the angel is? After all, as a container, you should be eager to merge with the angel..."
"The tactile ritual must have failed. After all, the last step of the ritual is death, and my real body is still lying next to you." Ash said unhappily, "How come this kind of God-level world plot happened just when we were preparing to become legendary magicians? Our efficiency in triggering the plot is too high, right? "
"Perhaps it's not a coincidence," Igula said, "Think about it, what is the biggest difficulty for the Starry Lord to capture the angel?"
"The angel is too strong?"
"Wrong, the angels didn't show up!" The Trickster shook his head and said, "For thousands of years, no one has walked the Road of Origin, and the angels have never appeared in front of people. But in order to preside over the inheritance of the Thousand Wishes, the angels had to show up, so they were captured by the Starry Lord and put into the Starry Prison!"
Although Igula was only speculating, the major event in Ruby Mountain recently was the inheritance of a thousand wishes, and then the Lord of Stars immediately launched the sky curtain to imprison the angels. It is indeed difficult not to connect the two.
"But knowing these secrets won't help us." Ash scratched his head. "Only if we kill the angel will the Star Lord let us out. But if you think about it, you know the Star Lord won't let us steal monsters so easily."
"However, finding the angel is indeed our only option at the moment." Igula said, "Whether it's for our own use, or for trading, or even to help the Starry Lord quickly kill the angel and advance the course of history, we may be able to get away."
"But here comes the question," Ash spread his hands, "How do we find the angels?"
Just as everyone was thinking hard, Rose brought in three cups of hot tea.
Just as Igula was about to pick a cup, Rose avoided him and let Ash choose first, and it was their turn after Ash had chosen.
Ash covered his mouth to hold back his laughter. At this time, Igula took a sip of hot tea thoughtfully and asked, "Rose, Ash relies on you for everything. Has he ever asked you to find someone before?"
"Yes." Rose responded affirmatively: "I look for it every year."
Everyone immediately became excited: "Who is he looking for?"
Rose took out a note from her small bag. "He is not looking for a specific person, but for someone who meets certain conditions. Because his search conditions are the same every year, we have established a strategic partnership with the National Police Agency."
Ash took it and looked at it, and found that there were three analyses written on the note:
"Because it is not human, its worldview is definitely different from that of ordinary people, and it cannot integrate into society."
"Because it cannot fit into society, it must be antisocial and appear cold and heartless."
"Because in order to survive, it will most likely commit murder."
"So we should pay attention to the following people: antisocial serial killers with abnormal values."
Rose: "Every year, I obtain detailed information on serial killers across the country from the National Police Agency under the pretext that I need your work."
Igula nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Heath's analysis is well-founded. We should start the investigation from this aspect. Rose, is Ash familiar with the National Police Agency?"
"There is a dinner with the director of the National Police Department in three days, and right now a fan of the department is helping him retrieve all the residents' information." Rose said, "By the way, I have an appointment to go to the department in the next few days to get this year's murderer information, so I can go now."
"Rose!" Ash happily hugged his assistant, "You really helped a lot this time!"
"I have to help you a lot every day." Rose pushed him away with her hand, "And I can't accept close physical contact. Don't think you can do whatever you want just by role-playing."
…
…
Thirteen minutes later, a sports car stopped in front of the headquarters of the Jiashi Police Department. As soon as Ash got out of the car, he immediately attracted the attention of all the passers-by around him. Many people began to exclaim: "Is it Mr. Heath?" "It seems to be him!" "Oh my God!"
"You should wear sunglasses and a hat." Igulla said from behind.
"I'm not a wanted criminal anymore, but I have to hide my face when I go out..." Ash muttered and walked into the police station: "Will I be hunted down and intercepted no matter where I go?"
Bang!
Suddenly someone rushed out of the police station and hit Ash hard on the shoulder.
Ash looked over with dissatisfaction and found that it was a strange man wearing a hood, mask and sunglasses, hiding himself tightly. The latter glanced at Ash and left without saying a word.
"Hey," Ash tried to reach out and grab the weirdo, "at least apologize--"
Just as Ash reached out his hand, the monster suddenly kicked Ash backwards and hit him in the heart. Ash subconsciously pulled back his hand and tried to grab the monster's leg. At the same time, Harvey and Igula also attacked the monster at the same time.
Bang bang bang!
The strange man danced in the air, his hands and feet like swords, spears and halberds, and he fought off the combined attack of the three people with a crackling sound.
Igula and Harvey are fine, but Ash is a legendary physical master, and his fist and claw faction also has the gold level shared by witches. He doesn't use any magic spirits, but his fist and foot combat power is close to the limit of human beings!
How could you possibly compete with a random person you meet on the street?
Taking advantage of the power of their attack, the weirdo jumped directly out of the police station, jumped onto the fire hydrant, then stepped towards their sports car parked on the side of the road, jumped in the oncoming traffic, and crossed the road in the blink of an eye!
Ash and the other two were still in a daze when suddenly there was a burst of thunder and fire from above!
boom!
The strong explosion shook the entire building, and all the glass exploded instantly, almost knocking Ash and the others down. They rushed out immediately and saw thick smoke billowing from the third floor, the entire wall was blown away, and rubble kept falling down.
"Ah," Rose said, holding Ash's hand, "It seems that we have to cancel your dinner arrangement three days later. How about a funeral visit instead?"
"It's a death madman!"
On the first floor staircase of the police department, an injured police officer stumbled out and shouted, "The madman blew up the director with a bomb. She hasn't gone far yet... We still have time to catch her. Hurry!"
Ash was startled and turned to look at the other side of the street. Looking beyond the traffic, he saw the strange man standing at the corner, seemingly admiring the exploding police station.
She seemed to notice Ash's gaze and stopped lingering, turning and leaving.
But the wind suddenly became violent, lifting her hood and letting her blood-red hair flutter under the starry sky.
The next second, Ash chased after the red color.
