On the second day of the Golden Rain Disaster, in Rose's villa, everyone finally recovered and gathered in the hall to sort out the information. Igula turned off the TV that was broadcasting the post-disaster reconstruction news and glanced at Ash sitting in the electric wheelchair: "Your new equipment is very cool, can it accelerate the drift and turn with nitrogen?"
"Rose said she would resign if my feet dared to touch the ground." Ash replied helplessly.
Rajesh's penetrating shot directly made a hole in Ash's spine. The "Music Sword" only temporarily connected his spinal nerves to restore his mobility. The time it takes for bones to regenerate is dozens of times that of flesh and blood. Even with the "Music Sword", it will take at least a week to heal.
As long as Ash continued to use the "Sword of Music" on himself, others would not even notice that his spine was broken. However, after he reunited with Rose who was safe and sound, he completely relaxed and fainted. Rose then took the emergency passage to examine him, and then she saw a body full of holes from the X-ray.
In Rose's words, an assistant can help her employer hurt others, but she will never allow her employer to hurt herself, otherwise it will be a stain on her career.
Sitting in a wheelchair was Rose's last compromise. Rose originally wanted him to lie in the ward for video conferencing and not allow him to leave at all. He had to have a catheter even to urinate. After hearing the last sentence, Ash rolled over and crawled onto the wheelchair, roaring that he wanted to be discharged from the hospital.
But I have to say, the electric wheelchair is quite comfortable, it provides good support for the waist, can be equipped with elastic cushions, and the armrests are made of skin-friendly material. Sitting on it feels like playing with a remote control car. Ash even wants to replace all the chairs with wheelchairs.
At this time, Rose and Fili came over with a fruit platter. Ash coughed twice and pointed at the grapes on it. Rose glanced at him and was about to take the grapes over, but Vichy stopped her.
Today, Vichy was back in her usual maid outfit. She raised her eyebrows, picked some grapes and was about to put them into Ash's mouth, but Ash dodged it and said, "I don't eat grape skins."
"Okay." Vichy smiled, tore open the grape skin with his fingernails, revealing the crystal clear flesh, and stuffed the flesh into Ash's mouth under Fili's envious eyes.
Rose raised her hand: "We actually have tools for peeling grapes."
"No, no, no, I want her to do this meaningless repetitive work slowly." Ash said, "This is her punishment for making a joke that went beyond the boundaries yesterday."
"Master, have you forgotten that you were the one who provoked me first?" Vichy's smile was so sweet that it almost broke.
"That's why I didn't ask you to wash your feet." Ash said, "You are 70% wrong, I am 30% wrong, after that you still have to pay 40%."
"Why am I so wrong? In my time, there was a saying that goes 'the one who teases first is the slut'. Master, have you learned that?"
"So didn't I take the initiative to make peace with you later? This is my apology for taking the initiative to provoke you."
"Your invitation to clink glasses is considered an apology?" Vichy was so angry that he laughed.
"If I say yes, it's what I mean." Ash was very firm: "The question of who comes first and who comes second has been settled, and the next question is the content. If you just scold me or my friends, I won't bother with you, but if you cross the line, I won't be able to sleep if I don't punish you."
Igulla reminded: "Just scold him, don't scold his friends."
"I have fully realized my mistakes, Master," Vichy said sincerely, "but I have a question: Will telling the truth cross the line?"
“…Not really.”
"Then when I meet the mistresses in the future, I will just tell them what I have seen and heard truthfully, without any subjective assumptions or inner descriptions. This should not be considered as crossing the line, right?"
Ash looked at Vichy quietly and said word by word: "I want to eat the pineapple you peeled with your own hands."
Vichy walked towards the fruit plate almost as if she were a winner. Igula looked at them and said, "Maybe it's just my illusion - but has your relationship become closer? In the past, even if Lady Vichy made a serious mistake, you, Ash, didn't dare to punish her because of your emotions."
"Don't you have a better word to describe it other than 'close'? For example, hatred, alienation, irreconcilable, etc." Ash said unhappily, "I didn't dare to do anything before because I was afraid that she could control my mind through my emotional fluctuations. Now that I know she is just a paper tiger, I can naturally worry less."
Paper tiger?
Igula and Harvey looked up at the Ghost Prophet who was peeling a pineapple with his bare hands, and the latter smiled politely in return.
"Also," Ash paused, "I plan to have Vichy join our battle sequence as well."
This time they were really shocked.
Joining the battle sequence means treating Vichy as a teammate for tactical training, but this also means that all the cards of Ash, Igola, and Harvey must be told to Vichy, otherwise how can they cooperate? This will inevitably involve the strongest and weakest flaws of Miracle, which is equivalent to letting Vichy master all their intelligence!
You have to know that in the Senluo Kingdom, Tamashi was not considered part of their battle sequence. After all, Black Crow had to be flown in by Ash to join the battle, and the relationship between Black Crow and Ash was like that between a dragon knight and a dragon. And the Fire Sanctuary Chikara and the Astrologer Gwen were not in the battle sequence either. Igula was not at all confident in telling them the trump card, and did not think that joining the battle sequence would increase their combat power.
So is Vichy qualified to join their battle sequence?
The answer is without a doubt - in the first Angel Hunt, Vichy's joining brought their team's combat coordination to a new level. Ash was even afraid that Igula and Harvey would become overly dependent on Vichy! As for trust, Ash still dominated Vichy. There was almost no more stable relationship in the world than slavery!
They should have included Vichy in the battle sequence long ago, but the reason they did not do so was not so much because they were afraid of being dominated by Vichy, but rather because they were trying to minimize contact with Vichy as much as possible.
Even if Ash at this moment appeared in front of him a button that could make Vichy die forever, he would press it without hesitation! The only reason Vichy is alive is that they haven't found a way to completely prevent Vichy from resurrecting!
Even the greedy Igula and the indifferent Harvey would never want Vichy to continue living. Vichy is different from Silver Lantern. Silver Lantern's evil is just the cruel arrangement of fate, while Vichy's evil is that she is the cruelest arrangement of fate!
They can still firmly hold on to their killing intent towards Wei Xi, but if they become teammates, their contacts will become more frequent in the future, and they may even experience life and death trials together in the future...
Igula's heart moved and he glanced at Ash. Ash tapped the whiteboard behind him and said, "In order to survive, we no longer have the room to waste our fighting power."
"Yes." Igula was also relieved: "Since hell is ahead of us, why should we be afraid of standing shoulder to shoulder with the devil?"
Fili blinked: "Why are you afraid of me?"
"Dear, because you are so cute that everyone can't help but take a bite of you." Vichy finally peeled the pineapple, picked up a piece with a toothpick, dipped it in salt water, and handed it to Ash: "And unless I really get enough power to reverse the situation from the Angel Hunt, I will have to go to hell with you."
"However, there are ways for you to survive." Wei Xi glanced at the four forces on the whiteboard, with cold eyes:
"If you are willing to be a dog, wagging your tail and begging for mercy is also a good way to live."
