"Is this some new type of curse word?"

The red-haired female swordsman sneered: "Many people call me a devil, but you are the first one to call me an angel."

Would a projection possessed by an angel know that he is an angel?

If it knew, would it confess or pretend?

Ash couldn't judge, but he didn't need to judge now, so he said sincerely: "I'm not here to seek revenge or arrest you, I'm here to help you!"

"Why would a famous person like Ash Seath help a wanted criminal like me? Do you think I'm some ignorant girl?" The red-haired female swordsman's sword suddenly became more violent, and her voice became even more harsh and resentful: "Do you think you can deceive me? Do you think I will let my guard down and let you trick me? You despicable, shameless and lowly bastard, I'm going to stab you from below with my sword--"

"Shut up." Ash's sword speed also increased accordingly, "My tolerance limit for your swearing is the trumpet."

"Ha, why should I listen to you, an orphan bastard!" She cursed wantonly, "Go to hell, rubbish!"

She suddenly held the sword in front of her, and Ash didn't know why, so he slashed at it with the sword. It was as if he touched some silk thread. The red-haired female swordsman danced all over, and the long sword drew a wonderful arc, attacking from the blind spot that Ash couldn't defend!

Ash instantly recognized the prototype of this move—it was Sword Princess’s self-created miracle, Meteor!

At this moment, Ash also completely understood the relationship between the projection and the real body. No wonder those who are superior in reality are still superior in the stars; no wonder Nia's swordsmanship can be comparable to that of a legendary magician.

The projection will synchronize all the abilities of the original body, including but not limited to the realm of magic, skill proficiency and social talents!

Even if the projection has no magical power, the magical talent of the legendary level of the Holy Domain is already far beyond that of ordinary people in the Kingdom of Stars, just like Ash can beat dozens of people with his bare hands; not to mention that magicians are often leaders, managers, and organizers, and these interpersonal relationship abilities are not discounted in the Kingdom of Stars. Therefore, the life trajectory of the projection in the stars will not be much different from that of the original body in the stars.

But even though he recognized it, Ash really had no way to avoid it for a moment.

He cannot use magic spirits or holy lands, because Niya is not a magician at all, and any mysterious abilities he uses will be directly evaporated and become ineffective; but within the boundaries of mortals, Niya's trick is indeed impeccable once it succeeds!

In that case...then I won't hide anymore!

Ash simply raised his arm to block the sword, then rushed forward like a bull and slammed the red-haired female swordsman against the wall. He grabbed the opponent's wrist with his right hand to force her to let go of the hilt, then used his elbows and knees to suppress the force points of the opponent's body, successfully suppressing her completely!

With the little light from the starry sky leaking into the alley, Ash finally saw her face clearly: a face very similar to Sword Princess, the same ruby ​​eyes, the same long red hair, but the pupils were filled with a kind of mania and madness that Ash had never seen before, and her hair was messy and greasy and not well taken care of. There was a hideous cross scar on the right side of her face, and the whole person was like a scarred mad cat, and she opened her mouth and bit Ash's arm that was holding her neck!

Ash gasped in pain, "Just let go!"

Instead of letting go, Niya began to pull hard, as if she really wanted to tear off a large piece of flesh from Ash's arm!

"Someone is coming, don't make any noise!"

Tick-tick-tick.

The sound of boots rang out in the alley like thunder, and fully armed policemen with loaded guns stepped over the sewage-covered ground, turned on their flashlights, and searched every place in the alley where people could hide. When they noticed the fork in the alley, they shone the flashlights over there and immediately found two figures.

The two people in the alley were pressed against the wall, their bodies almost overlapping, their heads pressed tightly together, as if they were kissing intimately.

A patrolman asked nervously, "Who is it?!"

"ah?"

The frightened man hid the woman in his arms and looked at the police with a confused and surprised expression: "What happened?"

"Just now, a very vicious murderer escaped into this area... Wait, are you Mr. Heath!?"

When the patrolmen saw the man's face clearly, they were stunned. "Mr. Heath, why are you here? You..."

"Sorry," Ash said with a wry smile, "I don't plan to announce my relationship yet, so when we date and make out, we can only choose remote places like this... You also understand that if there is a scandal with me, it will cause great social pressure on the woman. I have many crazy admirers."

"Yes, I understand, I understand." The patrolmen looked happy and said, "Then please show your ID cards and cooperate with the inspection..."

"That's fine with me," Ash said, somewhat embarrassed. "But once my information and hers are registered, it will be easy for it to spread from the police department... What if the reporters find out..."

The patrolmen looked at each other and nodded, "Since it's Mr. Heath, there's really no need to register. By the way, Mr. Heath, have you seen anyone passing by during this time?"

"I seemed to hear someone running through the alley just now." Ash replied.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation." The patrolmen thanked him and continued to chase along the alley.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Ash breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt a heavy blow on his chest and was pushed away.

The red-haired female swordsman rolled on the dirty ground, holding the sword in her hand again, with the tip of the sword pointed at Ash.

"Isn't what I did just now enough to show my goodwill?" Ash said calmly without getting angry: "I used my reputation to help you hide it, otherwise you would be chased by more than a dozen guns. Although you are crazy, you should still have some rationality, right?"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have escaped by now." Niya said coldly: "And I still don't believe you."

"I've helped you so much, how else do you want me to show my sincerity?"

"You have no reason to help me. There is only evil without reason in this world, but no good without reason." Niya said, "The more you protect me, the less I trust you."

"I have reasons to protect you, but I cannot tell you the reasons."

"I don't need your protection. In return for what I did just now, I will not chase you anymore. I will just pretend that I have never seen you, and you will pretend that you have never seen me."

"etc!"

Ash called her, and for a moment he didn't know what reason to use to keep her. Explain the relationship between the stars? Not to mention the huge amount of text, but if a normal person is told "you are just a projection", will anyone be willing to accept this reality?

He held his forehead, suddenly took a long breath, looked at Nia in the dim starlight, and said seriously: "Because I like Miss Servi, I want to protect you."

The alley suddenly became quiet and silent, and the hustle and bustle of the city seemed extremely far away. The line of stars formed by the high wall added a dark blue filter to the alley, allowing the two people looking at each other to clearly see each other's expressions.

After a long while, Niya shook her head: "I don't believe it."

"But," Ash tried to get closer, "I'm telling the truth."

"I don't know if what you said is true, but I know you don't like me." Nia raised the tip of her sword slightly, warning him not to get close. "When you tried to fool the patrolman with a kiss just now, you didn't really kiss me. Instead, you created a visual misalignment with me, making the patrolman think we were kissing."

Ash was stunned: "I, well, I just want to respect you--"

"More importantly."

Niya stared at him and shook her head gently: "Although you are looking at me, I don't feel your gaze, it's like... like you are not looking at me at all."

"Don't come near me again," she said, slowly backing away, "you lying... little trumpeter."

Ash stopped where he was, watching Nia blend into the darkness and disappear without a trace.

He exhaled a breath, sat down against the wall, and used the "Music Sword" to heal his injuries.

Unlike Sword Lady, Nia really dares to stab and bite.

He raised his head and peeked at the stars in the sky through the cracks in the alley. After a while, he suddenly burst into a bitter laugh.

"Sure enough..." Ash said softly, "I can't fool her."

…

…

After making sure that all the Missile Star Guards had evacuated the Lone Diamond Area, Felix hurried to the basement to pry up the nails of the coffin lid and moved the lid away to allow air to circulate, so as to prevent Igula and Harvey from suffocating to death in the coffin.

However, she had no intention of moving the coffin up there. Firstly, placing it here could avoid surprise inspections, and secondly, she didn't want to - who would want to have a coffin in the villa!

Felix returned to the second floor of the villa, pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and saw Ash still lying in the quilt.

She sighed, not knowing when these guys would come back. As long as they didn't come back, they would be a burden for her.

She also thought about killing them, but Igula mentioned that they had death-triggered miracle spells in their bodies, which would explode once they died. He had mental shock, Harvey had undead disaster, and As for Ash, he was even more powerful, and could definitely shake the entire Starry Kingdom. Felix didn't know whether it was true or not. How could she, a two-winged magician, judge the methods of the Sanctuary magician? She could only treat it as true.

If we move them out and kill them later, the risk is greater than hiding them. After thinking about it, hiding them is indeed the best option.

Felix lifted the quilt and squatted beside the bed, wondering where to hide Ash. As she thought about it, she suddenly began to look at Ash's sleeping face. It's true, although he was very annoying when he was awake, he was surprisingly cute when he fell asleep.

Such a person is actually a legendary magician, and for some reason he knows a lot about the Four Pillars of God, and is followed by two holy magicians. It is said that he has been to many countries and experienced many adventures, so he can take it lightly that he is wanted by Fanxing nationwide.

What secrets does this person...hide?

Oh, Felix suddenly remembered that Ash seemed to be going on a date with someone tonight, so he dressed up and was teased by Igula and Harvey. But they had only been in Fanxing for a few days, so how come Ash already had a date?

Felix stared at Ash while thinking. At this moment, the stars in the sky were slightly tilted, and Ash, who was caressed by the starlight, seemed to have flowing light dancing on his face. Felix wrinkled his nose and subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to pinch Ash's cheek——

"Just try if you dare."

Felix froze and slowly turned his head to see the red-haired swordsman appear beside the bed at some point, like bad luck in the starlight, like the god of death in the shadows.

Her red hair was tied into a ponytail with an exquisite hairband. She wore a black top and a red skirt with straps tied around her thighs. She looked naughty and cute yet sexy.

Although she was talking to Felix, her ruby ​​eyes never left the naked Sleeping Beauty. Although her plain words were filled with direct malice, her face was full of gentle warmth, and for a moment Felix suspected that he was hallucinating.

The Sword Saint put the cake box on the bedside table, and the sweet smell of butter and eggs gradually spread in the bedroom. She reached out her hand and gently picked up Ash, carefully treating him as if he were a work of art.

"What's wrong with him?" she asked softly.

"It has been like this since he brought Igula and Harvey into Ruby Mountain." Felix explained as quickly and in the shortest possible words.

Sonia didn't say anything, but just stroked Ash's face and smoothed his bangs.

"We finally meet," she said.

"Are you Ash's date tonight?" Felix's strong desire to survive made her realize what she should say to save her life. "For tonight's date, he borrowed clothes from me and asked Igula to put on makeup and dress up. He really worked very hard and seriously."

Sonia's face flushed slightly, "Yeah, I know."

"So..." Felix said cautiously, as if he was facing a monster or beast, "Are you lovers?"

“The relationship has not been confirmed yet.”

Sonia held Ash tightly in her arms and said softly but clearly:

"But he's mine."
