Night World Players

Chapter 102 Axia: You, Take It Off (Two in One)

The servants who are able to enter the palace and serve the royal family have already gone through layers of screening, and are top choices in terms of both appearance and temperament.

As the second princess of the Granville Empire, Ophelia was naturally no stranger to this.

Although there were some differences in clothing styles due to the times, the quality of the maids in the light curtain was no less than the maids Ophelia had seen in the Granville Empire Palace.

however--

At this moment, the original brilliance of all the other maids was obscured by one person.

……

pat-

The royal family's confidential documents fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Ophelia stared at the light curtain, or more precisely, at the beautiful figure in the light curtain.

There was a rare hint of loss of composure on that fair and delicate face.

For some reason, Ophelia felt a sense of frustration in her heart, a sense of frustration with her feminine charm.

But she quickly shook her head and drove these distracting thoughts out of her mind.

I am not even thirteen years old yet, so I still have a lot of room for growth.

Rather than this feeling of frustration...what really concerned Ophelia was the true identity of that figure.

A dark light flashed in the wine-red eyes.

Behind her, the flowing immortal mercury surged up and down, and countless complex and chaotic data streams flowed through the matrix and were then calculated.

Analyze and compare the face in the light curtain with the image data stored in your database.

Then, draw credible conclusions.

"Although the target was extremely well disguised and used a very sophisticated disguise method."

"But from the bones, body shape, and facial lines and curves, we can still draw a comparison..."

"This person's features are over 99% similar to Last's."

She turned her head and stared at Dean Yin beside her: "What's going on?"

"You mean... my possible future brother-in-law is actually a transvestite pervert?"

As a mechanic, Ophelia's database contains almost all the information about Rast in the present world.

According to the information she had, Rast should not have such a habit.

But that may not be the case... The whereabouts of this possible future brother-in-law of mine are extremely mysterious, and reliable intelligence records were not available until he enrolled in Fanxing University a few months ago.

Disguised in the real world, only to reveal one's true nature in the night world where one thinks no one knows.
This is very reasonable reasoning.

but--

If this is true, it means that I actually lost to a cross-dressing man in terms of feminine charm.

In the light curtain, the waiter was so breathtakingly beautiful, as if embodying all the beauty in the world.

Ophelia was left speechless and he himself was defeated miserably.

"There is also a possibility that Rast, like Xiao Xia, also had a past life in the Sixth Epoch, and his memories were suppressed, so his past life was the main thing..."

Dean Snow Ferret blinked his eyes, made a guess, but quickly shook his head.

It subconsciously denied this guess in its heart.

The reason is simple, it's just that Dean Yin has an inexplicable intuition in his heart.

Even if Rast really had a past life and had awakened the memories of his past life...but when the two consciousnesses merged, it would definitely be Rast's current will that would ultimately take the dominant position.

This judgment came from Dean Yin's sudden glimpse of Last's soul. Under the gray mist, it seemed that there was something sharp hidden that could pierce through the layers of disguise at any time.

There must be something deeper hidden deep in his soul, like the core of a steam engine, driving that human body, which has long been worn out and dilapidated by time, to move forward.

This is an obsession that even hundreds of years of stagnant time cannot erase... let alone, it's just a few fragments of memory from the previous life?

Even if Rast really had a past life in the old era and memories that had never been awakened, on the day of his awakening, they would be ruthlessly devoured by his mind, just like a black hole that annihilated all light.

"If it wasn't in my previous life."

"Then this kid pretends to be a girl... there must be some special purpose."

Dean Yin’s eyes were deep.

Although his ability to gather intelligence is far inferior to that of Ophelia, a mechanic, Dean Silver has had longer contact with Last than Ophelia.

In a sense, Dean Yin, who has been with Last since he came to the world, may be the person in the world who knows Last best, even better than Hiltina.

Therefore, after the shock of the first meeting wore off, Dean Yin was not actually surprised by Last's behavior.

He was a natural actor...his experience in Deep Blue Harbor allowed him to come into contact with and imitate the appearance of too many people.

All he needs is a simple disguise, a change of hairstyle and attire, and then a change of his personality mask... He can transform himself into another person from the inside out, from appearance to temperament.

"Based on my understanding of Rast, this guy seems quite normal."

"But in fact, when it comes to the paranoia in his heart, even your sister can't compare with him."

Dean Yin narrowed his eyes. "The reason why he pretends to be approachable and easy to get along with is because he thinks this is in his best interest."

"Compared to Tina and Xia, who are obviously flawed in their personalities, Luster's personality flaws are actually far greater than theirs."

"He understands human nature and is very good at exploiting it... but that also means that in his mind, there is nothing that can constrain or limit him."

It wagged its tail and locked its sights on the light curtain.

If it were any mentally normal man with no special fetishes.

When people find out that they need women's clothing, they will subconsciously feel disgusted, or feel physically uncomfortable, or feel that their self-esteem is hurt.

But it was different for Rust.

"As long as the judgment is conducive to achieving one's goal—"

"So the values, concepts of good and evil, morals and laws in the eyes of ordinary people are all things that can be completely discarded by Rast."

"His soul is empty."

"All that remains is the obsession that has been twisted over a long period of time... or the only wish."

Listening to Dean Yin's explanation, Ophelia's eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.

"So, is that so?"

The surging undead metal behind her gradually calmed down, and Ophelia turned her gaze back to the light curtain.

"If that's the case."

"That is to say, Luster disguised himself as a woman and sneaked into the palace with bad intentions."

There was a burning look in those wine-red eyes.

"It's true. It makes people look forward to the future development more and more."

……

Within the light curtain.

Axia, or Queen Helen's gaze also fell on the maid.

She looked at the clay doll in her hand, then at the figure in the distance.

A hint of confusion suddenly flashed in the dark purple eyes.

It wasn't just because of the other person's appearance, but also because he looked very similar to the clay doll in front of him whose soul was suddenly connected to his.

It’s because——

When her eyes fell on that figure, Helen felt a sense of familiarity for no reason.

It was as if some subconscious force was driving her to protect the other person during this period of time.

Helen tilted her head, and a few strands of icy blue hair fell.

She slightly extended her white index finger and tapped lightly in the air.

The next moment, there was an ice-blue light.

In the open space below, the figure of the maid disguised by Rast disappeared.

Then, he suddenly appeared in front of him.

……

Luster felt the world around him spinning.

A breath later, when his vision became clear again, the surrounding scenery had changed abruptly.

From the original city-state scenery, it turned into a silent and empty palace shrouded in the light of dusk.

In the center of the palace stood a throne that seemed to be covered in eternal frost.

And on the throne, a girl with long ice-blue hair was looking down at him.

Axia?

Because the queen of the underworld has lived in the palace for a long time and almost never goes out, and the technological level of this era has stagnated due to the catastrophe, the technology trees of the photo crystal and camera have never been pointed out.

Even with the intelligence network of the Shore Watchers spread across the continent, they knew nothing about the queen's specific appearance, and not even a portrait of her remained.

And at this moment, when he saw the girl sitting on the ice-blue throne in front of him...

Last almost thought that it was the student union president of Star University who came to him.

what happened?

Was it the echo of the era in which Axia followed him into the world of the Last Night?
But not to mention that he did not enter with her, and according to Professor Barbarossa's introduction, it is clear that the Echoes of the Era cannot be formed into a team.

and……

Rast raised his head slightly and met the gaze of the girl with long ice-blue hair on the throne.

In those dark purple eyes that were exactly the same as Axia's, there was now a hint of curiosity and doubt.

Although their appearance and temperament are quite similar, this is definitely not how Axia should behave after meeting him.

"Your Majesty Helen?"

The woman's voice broke the stagnant atmosphere as the two people stared at each other.

She was the head maid of this palace. The entire process of selecting palace maids was handled by her.

Previously, it was this head maid who led him into the palace.

As if she had noticed something unusual happening to Her Majesty the Queen, whom she served, she came to the throne and asked with some confusion.

Her Majesty Helen.

Helen.

Such a title also alleviated the surprise in Rast's heart.

This is the name mentioned in the intelligence provided by the Shore Watchers.

The mistress of the underworld, the queen of the underworld.

He was also born with the relic of the god of death... the origin of all the disasters in "Paradise".

There are many possibilities for the similarities between Helen's face and Axia's.

Maybe it was because they were both members of the Death God Order, or it was just a coincidence, or it was because of their past lives...

Or perhaps, the Queen Helen before him was Akxia's great-great-great-grandmother from the Sixth Epoch, and the similarity in appearance came from blood inheritance.

But, no matter what—

Even if the real Akxia stood in front of him, what he was going to do would not change in the slightest.

As Rast thought about it, he noticed out of the corner of his eye.

Next to the throne, in the air in front of the head maid, a line of ice-blue text suddenly appeared.

"As for the others... we'll talk about it later."

"Leave me alone with Him."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

The head maid responded respectfully.

She glanced at Rast and said, "It seems that Her Majesty the Queen is as optimistic about you as I am."

"But this is only natural... After all, your appearance, talents, and interpersonal skills are impeccable."

"Originally I thought that with your talent, being a maid was a bit of a waste... But since His Majesty likes you so much, you should serve as His Majesty's personal attendant."

"Remember, as His Majesty's attendant, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for His Majesty."

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, our peaceful and happy life in paradise would no longer exist."

The head maid whispered a few instructions before quietly leaving.

Soon, in the open space in the distance, the newly selected maids were led away.

In the empty throne room—

Only Helen and Luster were left.

……

"What's going on? Xiao Xia's memory was clearly suppressed, so why did she still fall in love with that guy at first sight?"

Dean Yin flicked his tail in confusion.

Even with the aesthetic taste of a ferret, Dean Yin had to admit that once Last got serious, he had a charm worthy of his status as the top gigolo in Deep Blue Port.

But, he is now wearing women's clothes after all.

Moreover, according to Dean Yin's understanding, Akxia's personality is not the kind of person who would be tempted by beauty.

Even though they have different life experiences, since they are the same soul, the origin of their hearts will not change, whether it is Queen Helen or Axia.

"It's because of what you told her before entering the Night World, Little Snow Ferret... You asked her to protect Rust as much as possible during the Echoes of the Epoch."

Ophelia narrowed her beautiful wine-red eyes.

"According to my intelligence, she is a person who places great emphasis on commitment. As long as her soul remains intact, this nature will remain."

"Even in the night world, the memories of Axia are only temporarily blocked but not disappeared. They will still have an impact in a subconscious way."

"For example, even if she doesn't remember anything about the real world and the night world...she still subconsciously wants to protect and help Rast."

Ophelia picked up the glass and looked at the scene in the light curtain with interest.

The hero and heroine finally met, and she was very curious about the next direction of the story.

But the next moment, Ophelia was stunned to find that part of the light curtain in front of her suddenly became blurry.

[It has been detected that the content may violate the Imperial Law on the Protection of Mental Health of Minors and the Third Amendment to the Regulations on the Administration of Image Communication. Part of the content has been blocked.]

Along with the prompt message, an ice-blue character quietly emerged next to Axia's fingertips.

"you……"

"Take it off."
