"Find the Angel?" Harvey said seriously, "I think the Angel might be possessing that thousand-year-old skeleton—"
"Get lost."
Igula looked at Ash: "The notes mentioned that once you complete the ritual, you become a perfect 'Angel container.' So, have you sensed where the Angel is? After all, as a container, you should be eager to merge with the Angel..."
"The ritual definitely failed. After all, the last step of the ritual is death, and my real body is still lying here right next to you guys," Ash said irritably, "How come right when we're preparing to become Legendary Mages, such a Divine Lord-level world event happens by coincidence? Our efficiency in triggering events is off the charts, right...?"
"Perhaps it's not a coincidence," Igula said, "Think about it, what's the biggest challenge for the Dazzling Star Magic Master in trying to capture the Angel?"
"Angel is too powerful?"
"Wrong, it's that the Angel doesn't appear!" the Swindler said, "No one has walked the Path of Origin for over a thousand years, so the Angel hasn't appeared before people. But to host the Thousand Wishes Inheritance, the Angel had to appear, which is why it got captured in the Allstars Cage by the Dazzling Star Magic Master!"
Although Igula was just guessing, the recent big events on Ruby Mountain were only about the Thousand Wishes Inheritance, then the Dazzling Star Magic Master launched the Heavenly Curtain to imprison the Angel, making it hard not to connect the two.
"But knowing these secrets doesn't help us at all." Ash sighed, "Only by killing the Angel will the Dazzling Star Magic Master let us out, but come to think of it, obviously the Dazzling Star Magic Master won't let us steal the monster that easily."
"However, finding the Angel is indeed our only choice at the moment," Igula said, "Whether for personal use, transaction, or even helping the Dazzling Star Magic Master quickly kill the Angel to push the historical process, that's the only way we might be able to extricate ourselves."
"But here's the problem now," Ash spread his hands, "How do we find the Angel?"
Just as everyone was pondering deeply, Rose brought in three cups of hot tea. Igula was about to pick one, but Rose bypassed him, allowing Ash to choose first, and only after Ash chose did it get to the other two of them.
Ash stifled a laugh, then Igula took a thoughtful sip of hot tea and asked, "Rose, does Ash rely on you for everything? Has he ever asked you to find someone before?"
"Yes." Rose confirmed, "Every year he searches."
Everyone immediately perked up, "Who is he looking for?"
Rose took out a note from her small shoulder bag: "He's not looking for a specific person, but an entity that meets certain conditions. Since his search criteria are the same every year, we've established a strategic cooperation with the police headquarters."
Ash took a look and found the note contained three points of analysis:
"Because it's non-human, its initial three perspectives must be different from ordinary people, unable to integrate into society."
"Because it can't integrate into society, it must be anti-social, appearing cold and heartless."
"To survive, it will most likely commit murder and crime."
"So pay attention to the following type of people: Anti-social serial killers with abnormal worldviews."
Rose: "I obtain detailed national serial killer profiles from the police headquarters every year under the pretense of your creative needs."
Igula nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Heath's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, we should investigate starting from this aspect. Rose, is Ash very familiar with the police headquarters?"
"In three days, there's a dinner with the police headquarters director, and currently a police headquarters fan is helping him pull out all the resident data," Rose said, "By the way, I've scheduled to go to the police headquarters these days to collect this year's killer data, I can go now."
"Rose!" Ash happily hugged the assistant, "You've really been a great help this time!"
"I have to help you a great deal every day." Rose pushed him away with her hand, "And I can't accept intimate physical contact, don't think you can just role-play and do whatever you want."
...
...
Thirteen minutes later, a sports car stopped at the entrance of Kasha police headquarters. As soon as Ash got out of the car, he immediately drew the attention of all the surrounding passersby, and many began to exclaim, "Is that Mr. Heath?" "It really looks like him!" "Oh my God!"
"You should have worn sunglasses and a hat," Igula said from behind.
"I'm not even a wanted criminal anymore, and I have to hide my face to go out..." Ash muttered as he walked into the police headquarters, "Can I not escape being surrounded and blocked anywhere I go?"
Bang!
Suddenly someone rushed out in the police headquarters and collided hard with Ash's shoulder. Ash looked over, annoyed, and found a strange figure wrapped tightly in a hood, mask, and sunglasses, who glanced at Ash and left without a word.
"Hey," Ash reached out, trying to grab the stranger, "at least apologize—"
At the moment Ash reached out, the stranger suddenly kicked back at Ash with a sudden and powerful heel kick. Ash instinctively retracted his hand, trying to grab the stranger's leg. Meanwhile, Harvey and Igula simultaneously launched attacks at the stranger.
Bang bang bang!
The stranger spun in mid-air, his hands and feet like swords, spears, and halberds, clashing and parrying the trio's combined attack. It was one thing for Igula and Harvey, but Ash was a Legendary Body Technique Master, and even without any Technique Spirit, his combat power with fists and kicks nearly reached human limits!
Using the momentum from their attacks, the stranger leaped out of the police headquarters, jumped onto a fire hydrant, then stepped onto their roadside parked sports car, bounding through the traffic and crossing the street in a flash!
While Ash and the others were still dazed, suddenly a thunderclap resounded upstairs!
Boom!
A powerful explosion shook the entire building, all the glass instantly shattered, and Ash and company were almost knocked down by the shock wave. They immediately rushed out to see the third floor billowing with smoke, the entire wall blown away, with debris continuously falling down.
"Oh," Rose said, her hand held by Ash, "Looks like you'll have to cancel your dinner arrangement three days from now; how about changing it to a funeral visit?"
"It's Death Mad!"
From the first-floor stairs of the police headquarters, an injured officer stumbled out shouting, "Death Mad used a bomb to kill the director, she hasn't gone far... there's still time to catch her, hurry!"
Ash froze, then turned his head towards the other side of the street. Through the traffic, he saw the strange figure from earlier standing at the corner, seemingly admiring the exploding police headquarters. Noticing Ash's gaze, she didn't linger and turned to leave.
The wind suddenly became violent, blowing off her hood, letting her blood-red hair flutter beneath the starry sky.
The next second, Ash chased after that hint of red.
