Hearing the man's words, Martin's eyes under the hood instantly widened.

The "Xitian" who was by his side just now was fake?

He had never considered this possibility, because this Xixian was following Mr. Hynes when he appeared, which made Martin subconsciously let down his vigilance against this person, and coupled with her red eyes, he immediately came to the conclusion that this was Xitian.

Besides, the other party had just helped her eliminate the absorption effect of the Holy Light Statue, if she wasn't Xixian, why would she help herself?

"I didn't expect the captain of the Ash Squad to be interested in the down-and-out princess of the Golden Bough Dynasty."

Across the invisible corner, a woman's voice came, and Martin could hear it as Hihian's voice, but the tone of the man's voice was completely different from Hihian's, she sounded more like a mature woman.

"You know me?"

The man's tone didn't change much, only a hint of doubt.

"[Rising Sun Holy Knight] Avani, as the youngest seventh-order 'savior' in the Redstone Kingdom, a genius among geniuses, can always make an impression."

"The Ash Squad..."

Where had Martin heard the name, he tried to remember, and finally remembered that on the third day he came to this world, the day he turned into a giant dog, it had been said on the radio that the last evil dragon on this continent, and the last known "polluter" in the world, had been killed by the Ash Squad.

"Sounds like an organization in charge of hunting xenos."

Martin buried his head in order to better capture the message from the conversation between the two men.

"I have no interest in the down-and-out priesthood of the Aaronic family."

With the crisp tapping sound of leather boots, the man seemed to get closer to the woman.

"I'm just after a xeno, and that Shihian Aaron happens to have an unusual connection to this xeno."

Martin's brows jumped, this so-called "xenomorph" is obviously referring to himself, this ash squad has something to do with the royal family?!

"I don't know what xenomorphs are."

The woman's voice exuded a hint of laziness, and she did not face the pressure of the seventh-order "savior" at all.

"I'm just trying to get close to a shepherd who has sabotaged my carefully orchestrated actions and let what should have been easy to get hold of slip out of my palm."

"I'm here to scare him, to bring back his two eyeballs, and to study how he destroyed the ...... step by step."

"I'm not interested in your so-called revenge story either."

Avani interrupted the woman's words.

"What does Shihian Aaron have to do with that shepherd?"

There was a strong arrogance in his tone, as if he were a judge and the other party was a prisoner who confessed his crime in the audience.

"You don't want to answer a question."

The woman's tone of voice finally revealed a hint of displeasure.

"It's okay if you don't want an answer, we can go to the Ashes Squad's cell together and talk about the details."

Avani's words are fearless.

"Then we'll have to wait until you can catch me."

Martin noticed that the voice of "Hihian" began to become a little ethereal, as if it was on another level, disturbed by the ripples of space, and revealed some unreality.

A similar feeling, Martin had heard it not so long ago, so he had some familiar feeling again.

Only this time he understood where his familiarity came from.

Combined with the woman's words just now, Martin guessed her identity.

It was the woman who pretended to be the auctioneer of the Sunflower Carriage and almost took away the existence of Hines's two prophetic cards.

The last time she escaped easily under the eyes of the two Tier VI "saviors", there was also a voice with a little charm and nothingness, and Martin guessed that she wanted to repeat the old trick.

"So she approached me for this..."

After reacting, Martin was a little belatedly nervous, if it weren't for this [Rising Sun Paladin] eyeing this woman, he would probably really be plotted by her when he was defenseless.

Silent.

After a long silence, Avani, who was a seventh-order "savior", finally spoke:

"I have to admit that the 'Veil' deck did a really good job of escaping."

"I really can't stop you from leaving, but I think you'll pay a lot of money when you flee."

"After all, you're in the 'compass', not the 'curtain'."

"Interestingly, the prophets of the [Fortress of Dusk] are so inferior that they want to work with the foxes who only know about deception and intrigues?"

The mockery in Avani's tone was palpable.

"Decks are just means."

The woman's tone became a little stiff, and she didn't have the feeling of nothingness just now, she seemed to feel that things were still turning around.

"There's no real conflict between us, so we don't have to argue."

Her attitude softened a little.

"King Dzosai's youngest daughter was originally an auction item for the [Sunflower Carriage], and that imp auctioned her at a high premium along with the traitors of the fortress at the time, so I think there is definitely something related between them."

"It's just that I'm still not sure if it's the traitor's claim or the attention of the imp, who has a tight mouth."

At the mention of "traitor", there was a rare palpable hint of resentment in the woman's voice, which was also evident in the last time she spoke to Hynes in the auction room.

"It seems that she just changed into the appearance of Xixian and followed Hines to get information......"

Martin figured out why she had been by Hines' side before.

"So."

The woman broke away from that feeling of resentment and returned to her previous state.

"That's all I can tell you, Mr. Captain."

"As for whether or not this has anything to do with the xenos you're tracking, that's not something I can help with."

"This woman ......"

Martin's brow furrowed, the information provided by the woman was bound to direct Avani's eyes to Hines and himself, which was not a fun thing for him now.

"Happy cooperation, Miss Prophet."

Avani was noncommittal to the woman's words, but his tone softened.

"I hope you don't have anything to do with [Golden Tail Academy] anymore, the xenos have disappeared, and the next task of the ash team is to eliminate those hidden organizations that worship xenomorphs and pollution cards."

"And these organizations, those who call themselves gentlemen's [Golden Tail Academy], are the first to bear the brunt of them."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that your identity as [Morning and Dusk Fortress] will not be able to protect you."

Full of threats.

When the man's words ended, there was no longer a conversation in the alleyway inside, and Martin heard the sound of the man's leather boots fading away, and understood that the conversation between the two had ended, and Avani finally let go of the fake "Hihian", perhaps because he felt that he had gotten the information he wanted.

Martin buried his head between his knees, trying to wait until the two of them were completely separated before leaving.

Thanks to the effect of [Identity Theft], not only his appearance, but also his demeanor and temperament have now completely changed, and this effect is more complete than his first transformation in front of Henry Goode, and he has a complex mind that has been disguised for many years.

Now he looks like a homeless man, and even the best police officers in Fingland will only expel him and prevent him from napping here during the day.

He waited for a long time, until he could hear the frolicking of children in the alley next door and the sound of rats foraging in the sewers, and then he stood up and prepared to leave.

And just then, a fair woman wearing a mask suddenly appeared around the corner.

It's "Hihian".

She went and returned!

Martin's back tensed the moment he noticed her, and he didn't know why the woman had returned, but he still disguised himself as a wandering old man, dragging his heavy body towards the woman.

He couldn't expose his back to this dangerous woman.

Martin walked tremblingly, getting closer and closer to the woman.

Getting closer.

The left hand in the cloak has already made a gesture, and if it is not at him, it will snap its fingers and throw a green flame.

To deal with this dangerous woman, he must go all out at the beginning and cannot leave his hands behind.

So the proximity of the distance is a good thing for him.

Finally, he is about to pass by the woman.

The woman didn't make any moves, just watched him quietly.

At the moment when they passed by, the woman looked ahead and said with some deep meaning:

"You're the Xenomorph that the Ash Team is looking for."

Hearing this, Martin's eyes instantly narrowed, this was one of his deepest secrets, whether it was known by anyone in the royal family, the church, the shepherds, or even the common people, it would probably immediately turn against him.

But he remained silent on the surface, still walking forward in the same posture as before, and mobilized all the power that had been strengthened by the [Virgin's Body] to guard against the woman beside him.

He wasn't sure if it was a woman tempting him, if it was another trap.

"Whether you are or not, things are starting to get interesting."

The woman seems to just want to talk to herself, and has no intention of wanting to do anything.

"The third prince of the Red Rock Kingdom was killed, and [omniscient] has long given a vague prophecy."

"And in the hint of [omniscience], this is the beginning of a great upheaval, and the collapse of 'tomorrow' begins."

Speaking of this, she seemed to smile wryly.

"Hines said he had been to the 'Border of Dawn and Dusk', I wonder if this former 'Eye of Chaos' saw you at that border?"

The woman's tone became very strange, not at all the frivolity and hypocrisy of the conversation she had just had with Avani, but revealing a reverent, heavy, and intense doubt that could not be resolved.

"I'm curious, who the hell are you?"

She paused at this point, as if waiting for Martin's answer.

And all she waited for was silence.

Martin remained silent and walked forward.

The woman chuckled and began to change her tone, her tone becoming relaxed again.

"You sensed it in the cathedral just now."

"The statue of the Holy Light is not as holy as it seems."

"The so-called 'Great Prayer' is more like a sacrificial ritual for devout believers, rich or poor, to be sacrificed."

The woman's tone became a little crazy, and a little stunned.

Her voice was ethereal again, but this time it wasn't her teleporting away, it was that she was really walking forward, away from Martin, away from him.

The woman was soon gone, leaving only a vain voice in the air:

"The more sacred the scene, the easier it is to hide evil, and in the shadow of good, evil will be infinitely magnified."
