Freya stood outside the door for a long time, listening to the sizzling sound of hot oil inside, her hand on the door handle but she didn't turn it.
It wasn't until the neighbor next door opened the door and seemed to be preparing to come out that she mustered up the courage to push the door open.
"Welcome back, it's time to eat."
Freya hesitated after the usual greeting and said, "I'm back."
"Watch "College Student's Moon" or "Death Tracking"? " Yaxiu put the food on the long table and operated the curtain of knowledge to prepare a video to go with the meal tonight.
"The College Student's Moon" is a light comedy about campus life. The protagonist is a goblin with poor academic performance, but after eating moon candy, he can enter the extremely intelligent "moon mode". In this state, he is almost always successful in exams, and even got admitted to the highest institution of learning in the Blood Moon Kingdom with the first place in the unified exam.
But eating sugar also brings him many side effects, making his personality ever-changing, sometimes erratic and sometimes reliable, sometimes abstinent and sometimes lustful, sometimes gentle and sometimes violent.
In order to conceal his status as a poor student, Goblin had to fight the side effects while actively participating in college life, thus unfolding a hilarious and angry campus story.
To be fair, this campus drama is indeed well-made, with a brisk pace, one laugh after another, and filled with all kinds of satire and ridicule on college life. Even in Ash's opinion, it is a rare good drama.
The premise is that you can ignore the fact that it is secretly creating a public opinion trend for the "legalization of moon sugar."
After Kaimon City announced the legalization of moon candy, other cities are also actively promoting the same bill. The reason why this "College Student's Moon" can be so popular is that it is inevitable that various interest groups are behind it. It can even be said that this is a propaganda drama for moon candy, aiming to change the public's negative view of moon candy and even want everyone to regard moon candy as a daily consumer product.
By the way, the only brand of moon candy for this drama is "Snow White", which even Ash is quite familiar with. From this we can see who is the biggest sponsor of this drama.
"Death Tracking" is a fantasy drama about a protagonist who was killed by his friend. However, at the moment of death, the protagonist's soul was swapped with his friend's. The friend's soul died in the protagonist's body, and the protagonist took over the friend's body to live. In order to find out why he was killed, the protagonist played the identities of different people, traced back layer by layer, experienced death again and again, destroyed the villain's plans again and again, and solved a layer of mysteries. It is a suspense drama with a very tight rhythm.
Ash looked at the spoilers and found out that the villain is a cult.
As he looked from all angles, he discovered that although the name of this cult was not Four Pillar Gods, it looked like the Four Pillar Gods, moved like the Four Pillar Gods, and was called like the Four Pillar Gods. This was clearly the Four Pillar Gods Cult!
That would be fine, but someone actually asked in the film review "Is this based on the real life story of Ash Hiss?" Ash simply pretended to be a passerby who was speaking the truth and criticized him - I wasn't caught when the show started airing!
"'The College Student's Moon'," said Freya.
Yaxiu had no objection and watched the movie with great relish while eating. From time to time, he laughed so hard that his shoulders twitched. While eating, he reached out to rub Xiaoxian. After Xiaoxian made an unhappy sound, he continued to eat cat food.
But Freya's attention was not on movies and food at all. Beneath her lovely and charming beauty, she was cooking up a complicated mood.
Adela was right.
Freya had known that Ash was a dangerous man. She just didn't expect that besides the danger on the surface, he was also so 'evil' inside - there was nothing more evil than binding a free soul.
Even prison only restrains the body.
Freya couldn't help but recall the information she had looked up a few days ago when she was writing a paper on socialized upbringing: "The blood relationship between the childbearer and the child is the shackles farthest from freedom. Severing all innate relationships is the foundation of personal freedom... All dependent relationships between people are a rebellion against freedom."
In addition, the moral education she received over the past decade also emerged in her mind.
"Human nature is the most difficult color to describe. He may be a good person today, but he may become a cruel criminal tomorrow. When you trust someone wholeheartedly, it means that the other person can hurt you at will."
"Don't expect anything from others. Others are hell."
"Trust only yourself, be responsible only for yourself, live only for yourself, and die only for yourself."
"The best equality is when I can't take advantage of you, but you can't take advantage of me either. It's complete and irrelevant equality. Only when people have no connection with each other can they have the space to breathe freely."
"Never let anyone plant seeds in your heart."
Freya secretly glanced at Ash and found that he was laughing so hard that his food was about to spit out, and there was a trace of cream at the corner of his mouth. Faced with this almost ogre-like table manners, Freya did not feel uncomfortable at all, and even had an inexplicable urge - she wanted to lick the cream off with her tongue.
How horrible, the Veela thought.
Adela was right. While she still had her sanity, she had to quickly end this relationship and expel Ash from her life.
Otherwise, she will not be able to maintain her "complete self", but will degenerate into an emotional slave, bound by illusory relationships, completely lose her personal freedom, become a vassal of social relations, and then become an empty shell.
No wonder Ash is the leader of a cult. If all the followers of the Four Pillars of God are such "shameless people" who try to pollute others, they must be severely punished.
No wonder she felt disgusted and distanced herself from Ash. When she thought about the future where she would pay close attention to everything about Ash, be happy when he was happy, be sad when he was sad, and be willing to give everything for him, her heart welled up... welled up...
… filled with anxious anticipation
No, Freya, you are a veela with an independent personality, you must not succumb to the despicable tactics of the cult leader!
You muster up the courage to kick him out of this apartment!
You're better off without him!
Speak out after this meal!
Just say it after you finish washing the dishes!
When you finish this assignment,
"I'm leaving tonight."
Freya looked up sharply, "Where are you going?"
"Go to where the escaped prisoners should go." Ash put on his coat and mask, "Thank you very much for taking care of me these days. Well, although I feel that I am taking care of you more."
"This, so soon?" Freya was a little flustered: "It's not even the seventh day yet..."
"Although the deadline is seven days, I have already found the information I need in the past few days, so there is no need to stay any longer." Ash summoned the sympathetic spirit, "You are not a magician yet, right? Do you have a container to store the spirit?"
"Yes, yes." Freya went over and opened the cabinet: "I have a fluorescent ball that can temporarily store magic spirits..."
Ash waited for a while, and seeing Freya still squatting there rummaging through boxes and cabinets, he glanced over and reached out to take out a transparent spherical container: "Is this it?"
"Oh, this is it." Freya scratched her head embarrassedly: "Oh, it's right here, why didn't I see it?"
Ash placed the sympathetic spirit into the fluorescent ball and severed the connection between himself and the spirit. The fluorescent ball suddenly glowed with fluorescence, and then the sympathetic spirit stretched its body lazily, as if it had fallen asleep.
"Here." Ash handed the glowing ball to Freya: "Our contract is complete."
"Um."
"Don't reveal my information after I leave. After all, you are harboring a fugitive, which may bring you trouble. Although I have tried my best to avoid the neighbors, someone might see me. If someone asks you, just say that you picked me up from the bar and didn't expect that I didn't die after using it."
"good."
Ash squatted down and looked at Xiao Xian, reaching out to rub its cat head: "Goodbye, next time if you feel pain, don't just hold it in, shout it out loud, otherwise no one will know."
He stood up, looked at Freya, and smiled, "Well, I wish you peace, Freya."
Freya did not respond.
She stared down at Xiaoxian, as if the Scottish Fold cat had suddenly turned into a monster she didn't recognize, and she couldn't take her eyes off the cat.
Ash didn't care and walked past her towards the entrance.
"will you come back?"
Ash said as he put on his shoes: "No, if nothing unexpected happens, I will do something big tonight. I came back to you just to cause you trouble."
"Where will you live in the future?"
"Let's sleep outdoors. I may have to leave Kaimeng City. There is always a way."
"That sounds terrible."
"It's quite miserable. The reason why this dinner is so rich is because I have a feeling that I will have a miserable life for the next month. This is my last happiness."
When Ash held the door handle with his right hand, his left hand was also held.
He turned his head and saw Freya holding his wrist tightly.
Ash felt something: "You want me to stay?"
"No." Freya shook her head: "I don't want you to stay in this apartment any longer."
"But I want to go with you."
