The wind and rain were gloomy, and the night was dark. The dripping water flowed freely in the gullies of the stone road, the street lights flickered in the sky, and the thin figure walking alone on the sidewalk seemed to be blown away by the rain and wind in the next second.

Nothing will stay with you forever, even the stars will be absent on rainy nights.

The knight's boots stepped on the broken stone slabs that had been in disrepair for a long time, splashing a circle of dirty water and staining the hem of her double-belted skirt. But Nia didn't care. Her designer clothes were all soaked, even her socks were soaked in water, and her hair was sticky to her cheeks. She looked as embarrassed as a fugitive.

She had been through many worse situations in the past, and she could handle the sewers without any problems, but now she felt uncomfortable. Her wet underwear was uncomfortable, her socks were heavy, and the wind tonight made her body feel cold.

She wanted to take a steamy hot bath, wrap herself in dry plush pajamas, lie comfortably on the latex mattress, and then drink a glass of warm fresh milk.

But the next place she was going to was not the hotel.

She didn't know where she was going.

go home?

Nia had almost forgotten what her hiding place looked like, and only remembered how dirty, damp, cramped, and dangerous it was. It was more than enough to be a bedroom for a wanted criminal, but if it was called a home, even the most despicable rat would shake his head.

She has been without a home since she was six years old.

The memories of the past were as blurred as if covered by a layer of rain, and Niya almost forgot that she had a home in her childhood. Interestingly, she once returned to her childhood home and found that their home was surprisingly small, but when she was a child, she thought her home was as big as a castle and she would not get bored even if she stayed there for a whole day.

She still remembers that when she was a child, she was afraid of blood. Every time her mother took her to get an injection, she would cover her eyes. But as soon as she was pricked by the needle, she would realize that she was bleeding and then she would start to feel dizzy. But then her mother would take her to buy ice cream. Sometimes when she accidentally bled, she would cry loudly and say that she was afraid of blood, and then she could eat ice cream.

In Xiao Niya's mind, 'bleeding' is equivalent to 'eating ice cream'.

But her mother doesn’t buy her ice cream every time.

It seemed to be raining that night, but Niya couldn't remember clearly because she was dazed and had a fever, and her mother carried her to the hospital. Niya vaguely guessed that she would have to get another injection to reduce the fever, which would be painful, but she would definitely be able to eat ice cream, so she was a little bit excited.

Niya didn't see what happened next. She only remembered that when she got up from the ground, her arms and face were scratched and her hands were covered in blood. Before she could figure out what happened, she saw her mother lying on the ground illuminated by the car lights.

This was the first time she saw blood but didn't cry or scream. It wasn't because she was not afraid of blood, but because she knew that even if she cried or screamed, no one would buy her ice cream.

There was nothing much to say about what happened next. A relative from nowhere wrote a letter of forgiveness for her, collected compensation, and then threw her into an orphanage. She grew up quietly studying, quietly learning about firearms and chemistry, and quietly entered university.

The turning point of everything came when she visited the clubs during her freshman year and touched a sword in the fencing club. Her extraordinary talent in fencing brought all her plans forward.

Then, on another rainy night that could conceal her whereabouts, Niya sneaked into her enemy's house with a sword in hand. When blood splashed on her raincoat, she did not react at all, but just left silently and threw the raincoat into the river, and only fainted in bed when she returned to the apartment.

When she woke up the next day and wanted to turn herself in, the police had already come to her house and accused her of killing her enemy's family. But Niya had only killed the murderer, so she could turn herself in but could not take the blame, so she escaped and tried to find out what happened.

As a result, the more she investigated, the more dead people she found, and they all imitated her sword scars and framed her. It was obvious that her revenge action involved a vortex of struggle, and "female college student taking up sword for revenge" became the murder weapon of the mastermind behind the scenes, and she quietly became the most wanted criminal "Death Maniac" among the stars.

The false accusations from the outside world, the deceit of the underground world, the filth and ugliness of the dark side of society, and the helplessness of encountering obstacles everywhere made Niya more and more violent. In the end, she no longer cared and picked up a straight-blade knife to cut a bloody path, killing all the people who framed her one after another, using assassinations, poisonings, bombs, and everything else she could.

Washed away the glitz and naivety, she lived more and more like the sword in her hand. Although it would be dirty if stained with blood, the meaning of the sword's life was to kill.

She doesn't need justice or innocence. She has neither justice nor innocence. What she wants is revenge and blood.

Finally, she found the mastermind behind the incident - Rosena, the chief of the Jiashi Police Department.

When Niya saw the director's office blown up into a firework, she didn't feel very happy, but rather a little disappointed.

Because that is... the last enemy.

The alarm bells rang, and she ran aimlessly on the street, not knowing where she was going. She didn't want to go back to her normal life, and she couldn't. She could only run forward, and keep running, because what was chasing her was not only the police, but also endless confusion and loneliness.

Her life had ended on the rainy night of revenge, and what followed was just a continuation of the rainy night. Before she blew up the police chief, she went to a black doctor and bought a bottle of poison that killed people instantly when it came into contact with blood. Once it came into contact with a little blood, it would quickly paralyze the whole body and cause death.

At first she thought that this bottle of poison was prepared for her enemies, but when all her enemies died, she realized that this bottle of poison was prepared for herself.

She no longer had a home and just wanted to leave quietly.

At this moment, a guy suddenly caught up with her, and his swordsmanship was better than hers. But Niya was very happy, and if she could die in a high-level sword fight, she would die a worthy death. However, the guy did not satisfy her wish, but only asked her some strange questions, and then said to himself that he would protect her and help her cover her whereabouts. Niya had never seen such a strange person.

If he hadn't told such shameless lies that could be seen through at a glance, Nia would have had a pretty good first impression of him.

When she returned to the hiding place that night, Nia looked at the poison in her hand and finally put it down.

Revenge must be taken, favor must be repaid, this is the simple rule she believes in. If someone protects you once, you should return the favor.

As a result...her body was borrowed and became a container for their date.

Nia didn't know how to ask him to pay back the debt he owed this time.

Then the debt piled up higher and higher, and she was no longer as confused as before, but was overtaken by a new confusion. She got angry more easily, cared more about trivial things, and even began to care about her appearance and clothes... like a sword sheathed.

She no longer cared about who owed whom, or the end of the world, or even whose shadow she was. She didn't care whether she could survive, but she began to care whether others could survive.

Perhaps this is her final mission as a sword, to write off all debts.

At Xia Guang Happy World, Nia noticed plainclothes police officers following her and knew she had succeeded.

This time, she can finally leave quietly...?

Buzz!

When she heard the engine sound piercing through the rain, the dark and shining Oracle Comet had come behind her, drifting directly to block the sidewalk, and the hot steam from the tires braking on the asphalt road was clearly visible in the heavy rain.

"I just gave my umbrella to someone else."

The car door rose, and Ash walked out, looked at Nia, and asked, "Did you forget to bring an umbrella when you went out?"

Nia glanced at him, kicked the trash can towards Ash, and turned to run into the alley next to her. This was an old industrial area with complex terrain and dilapidated roads. She was best at escaping in such places. She flipped over the wall and fled to complex terrain. This time, Ash would never be able to catch up with her!

After running for a while, there was no sound of footsteps behind me.

Didn’t he… catch up?

The sound of rain suddenly became very distant, and the only sound I could hear was my own muffled heartbeat.

Niya slowly stopped walking, but just when she wanted to look back, she suddenly heard a clear voice from behind: "Are you tired?"

He is flying!

This is still an urban area!

Niya stopped the urge to look back and said coldly, "Come down."

"Aren't you going to keep running?"

"Get down here!"

"Okay." Ash released his virtual wings and landed on the ground. When he looked up, he saw a sword shadow slashing out from the violent storm!

clang!

Ash dodged sideways, took out a dagger from his sleeve and fought with her. In an instant, the flash of swords and shadows tore through the rain curtain, and the two staged the most violent cold weapon fight in the narrow alley. Nia suddenly gave up her defense and rushed to Ash's left, allowing Ash to slash at her vitals with a sword, forcing Ash to draw out his left hand dagger to block!

clang!

The two separated, Niya stepped into the puddle with one foot, and the straight-blade knife cut a line of water in the rain, and the cold murderous intent roamed freely along the blade!

"Now you want to take me back to clear my name, but I have no scruples." Niya said coldly: "If you hold back again, you may die here."

"I don't believe you'll kill me."

"Try to throw down the two swords."

"But I believe you will chop me half to death so that I can't catch up." Ash took a sword stance and said with a smile: "In this respect, you are the same as Sword Princess. You will never show mercy to me when you need to attack me."

The string of rationality that had been silent for a long time suddenly broke, Niya's eyes glowed red, and the violent and brutal maniac that had been suppressed for a long time awakened again in this rainy night!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Complete defense, every move is aimed at the vital points, even Ash has to concentrate on the fight, the slightest difference is the difference between life and death. Suddenly Ash opened his straight blade and rushed forward to Nia, trying to rely on his physique to suppress the petite female swordsman!

However, Nia did not dodge at all. She opened her mouth and bit like a crazy female beast, as if she was going to fight with Ash to the death. Ash was so scared that he immediately dodged and retreated to a safe distance, leaving Nia's bite in vain.

"What are you afraid of!?" Nia stared at Ash and said in a fierce voice, "It's because Sword Princess wouldn't do that. Haven't you ever tried being bitten?"

"I'm not afraid of being bitten," Ash said, "I'm afraid of being bitten by you. I won't give you any chance to hurt me, lest you regret it later."

"What do I regret? I regret not framing you more thoroughly, I regret not directly killing you, the savior?" Niya said word by word, "The reason I have endured until now is to find the best time to hurt you!"

"Do you think I will really forget the humiliation that Sword Princess brought upon me? Do you think I will really help you save this garbage world? I have said it many times, Ash Hiss, you make me feel sick, I hate what you have done, and I don't want to breathe the same air with you!"

"My life is ruined. For me, there is no better news than the end of the world. I want the world to be buried with me. I want everyone to feel the pain! The frame-up plan is just the first step. If you don't give up, I will keep hunting you down until the end of the world!"

She said in a cold voice: "I want to punish and avenge your Nia Servi, not the Sword Princess who will serve you tenderly!"

Serve Gently...

Ash's lips pursed, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he felt like he was about to burst out laughing.

He took a deep breath to suppress his smile, looked at Nia and said, "You are indeed different from Jian Ji."

"Sword Princess is not as clumsy as you. Even your lies are full of mistakes."
