An incredibly intense killing intent erupted.
Without saying a word, the faceless man turned and ran away.
But the moment he turned around, on the rooftop of a house in the distance, the magical gun that Misha had pre-programmed pulled its trigger under her control.
With a loud bang, the faceless man's head exploded instantly, but then his body shattered like a broken mirror and disappeared.
The mask, which was already covered in cracks, was now broken, revealing his pale, handsome face.
Without hesitation, the faceless man brandished his dagger and used the newly restored spatial teleportation to disappear through the rift in front of Misha.
Misha stared blankly in the direction where the other person had disappeared, muttering to himself, "This is the last time. If you delay my return to celebrate the Fireworks Festival with Miss, you could die a thousand times over."
Volume 1: Chapter 108 Miss, I'm back!
Night falls.
Seria, however, was ablaze with lights; the night of the Firework Festival was Seria's most vibrant night.
Countless residents took to the streets to enjoy the festival while also eagerly anticipating the magical special effects performance.
At that time, no matter where you are, you can see the incredibly spectacular performance as long as you look up.
But not everyone is in the mood to watch a performance. For example, the faceless man with a broken mask is currently mingling among the crowds participating in the festival.
Nighttime is the maid's domain. If she hides in a dark corner like the sewers, she probably won't even know how she died. It's unbelievable that the opponent, who is only at the fourth level, was able to kill her so many times.
The opponent knows all of my trump cards, and even my fighting style and habits.
He had no effective way to fight back except to run away.
Fortunately, tonight is the Fireworks Festival. Even if the maid finds me, she probably won't attack me in front of everyone.
If he finds an opportunity to go to the station and take the magic train to leave the city, no matter how powerful the maid is, she won't be able to find him.
But at that moment, the Faceless Man suddenly felt a strong killing intent locking onto him.
A bead of cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead, and his hand unconsciously gripped the dagger in his pocket.
Should we continue hiding in the crowd? What if the enemy uses magical firearms? He's already died from magical firearms twice.
The opponent definitely has the ability to snipe him in a crowd.
The faceless man stealthily scanned his surroundings; he always felt that the surrounding buildings and high-rises were all aimed at his head.
Without the substitute mask, he's starting to panic.
No, we can't continue to be exposed in this place.
Normally, No-Face wouldn't be so flustered, but now he has no room for error, and the previous assassination attempts have left him with a deep trauma.
The longer he stays in one place, the more dangerous he feels.
A strong will to survive drove him to change his position.
But no matter where he went, he felt that the maid would come looking for him at any moment.
What to do, what to do!?
Just then, a patrol of guards walked past him, and the Faceless Man suddenly thought of a plan.
That means turning yourself in. Even if the maid is incredibly brave, she probably wouldn't dare to go to jail, right?
Just as the Faceless Man was about to turn himself in, a violent explosion suddenly came from afar, and the patrol team immediately took off and flew towards the direction of the explosion.
The crowd was drawn to the sudden commotion.
Just then, a familiar voice rang in the Faceless Man's ear: "You can't escape."
With a sharp pain in his chest, the Faceless Man subconsciously looked down and saw that his chest had been pierced by a sharp dagger. As an assassin, he had died by assassination.
The shadow then instantly enveloped the faceless man, who vanished into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
There's still half an hour until the magic effects show starts.
……
At Elise's manor, she had already set out tables and chairs in the garden, along with exquisite refreshments.
Few people present enjoyed a lively atmosphere, so she simply made some simple arrangements in the garden. After all, her manor was situated on higher ground, so she could enjoy the beautiful magical special effects performance from the garden.
"There are about ten minutes left." Elena took out her pocket watch and glanced at the time. Then she lazily slumped in her chair, manipulating the magic threads to feed herself. It was a win-win situation, allowing her to exercise without touching the food with her hands.
Wendy craned her neck with curiosity, seemingly eager to see the special effects performance as soon as possible. Isabella, on the other hand, sat there somewhat nervously. She felt a little embarrassed to sit there, as if she were a maid, but Elise told her not to worry.
Just then, Wendy seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction of the manor gate.
Before long, a figure emerged from the shadows, and a familiar voice rang out: "Miss, I'm back!"
As soon as the little maid appeared, she rushed straight to her mistress, her face filled with joy that she hadn't felt in a long time.
After dealing with the Faceless Man, she still had half an hour, so she made a point of taking a shower before rushing back.
Before Elise could even react, the little maid had already jumped into her arms and rubbed against her chest.
Iris, who had previously vowed to teach Misha a lesson, suddenly lost all interest in disciplining her as she looked at the little maid snuggling in her arms. She reached out and ruffled Misha's hair, saying, "As my personal maid, you've been away from me for so long. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
"You can punish me however you like, Miss." Misha didn't care about punishment at all; all she could think about now was her mistress.
Miss, you smell so good.
Miss, you're so soft.
Miss, you're so pretty!
……
If the Faceless Man were still alive, his eyes would probably pop out if he saw this.
"Little maid, didn't you even say hello when you came back?" Elena pointed to herself.
Upon hearing Elena's voice, the little maid turned to look at her, a look of confusion in her eyes: "Who are you?"
Although she had expected this to happen, Elena was still inexplicably annoyed. As expected, she was still that annoying little maid.
"You know, while you were away, I was your personal maid, Miss Jia," Elena said, hands on her hips, looking like she had done a great service.
"Miss, you've suffered so much," Misha said apologetically to her mistress.
Elise didn't bother to hold back and laughed out loud: "Alright, although Elena, as my temporary personal maid, has done nothing but eat and train and hasn't done any of the things a personal maid should do, I still appreciate her hard work."
"Hey!" Elena glared at Iris, though she was telling the truth.
Just then, as if she had thought of something, Misha took out a corpse from her spatial ring. It was the Faceless Man she had assassinated.
She didn't even have time to pack up her spoils before she rushed to take a shower and came straight back.
Upon seeing the Faceless Man's corpse, a look of surprise flashed in Elise's eyes. Although she knew that the Faceless Man was probably doomed after seeing her little maid return, she was still somewhat surprised to see his body.
"This faceless man must be quite difficult to kill, right?"
"Hmm, I don't know why, but coincidences always seem to happen around this person. I should have killed him long ago, but he escaped several times due to unforeseen circumstances. However, he still died." — Si
For example, someone might walk by and block the Faceless Man's view while you're sniping, or a patrol might come over right after you've set up an ambush...
Despite various unexpected events, she remembered killing Faceless Men so many times that she could even predict how the unexpected events would occur and even use them to kill them.
Just then, accompanied by a deafening roar, a magnificent magical flower bloomed from the night sky, and the Fireworks Festival's magical special effects performance began.
Volume 1: Chapter 109 Shrimp-Headed Little Maid Shan
"It's so beautiful."
Gazing at the dazzling magical effects in the sky, Elise couldn't help but sigh. Although she had died and been resurrected countless times and seen this scene countless times, she still found it beautiful every time she saw it.

There was even a fleeting moment when she felt as if she had returned to her hometown before she transmigrated, watching fireworks during the Lunar New Year.
Just then, Elise suddenly heard a heavy thud. She turned around and saw that Wendy, while looking up at the performance, had accidentally tilted her chair too far and fallen to the ground.
Watching Wendy scratch her head and sit up again, Elise sometimes felt that the other person was like a child.
After that, Elise stopped paying attention to the dazzling special effects performance and focused her gaze on the Faceless Man's corpse.
Most of the Faceless Man's abilities come from his dagger, but since he's a main character, Elise took out the Book of Souls, which she hadn't used before.
The Book of Souls can draw souls from a corpse as long as the death has occurred within the past day.
After pointing the book of the soul at the faceless man's corpse, to the astonishment of the crowd, the faceless man's corpse suddenly began to tremble.
As a beam of light was drawn into the book, the faceless man's corpse stopped trembling.
The pages that were originally blank began to be covered with dense text after absorbing the corpse of the Faceless Man.
The Book of Souls currently only has three pages, so Elise also randomly acquired three abilities from the Faceless Man.
These are [Concealed Aura], [Bloody Tracking], and [Faceless].
These skills are barely usable for Elise, since the Faceless Man's strength mostly comes from his daggers.
The dagger is now lying on the table.
Elise glanced at the dagger, and the system icon appeared above it.
[Devourer]
It is said that this dagger was made from the teeth of the Gluttonous King. After killing a target, it can absorb a small amount of the target's attributes, and there is also a small chance to extract the target's skills.
This is a weapon that can grow stronger; the more kills it takes, the more powerful it becomes.
The only drawback is that the extracted skills will not be applied to the user, but only to the dagger.
Moreover, the additional skills are limited and will increase as the dagger evolves.
Elise remembered that in the later stages of the game, this dagger could be equipped with around thirty skills, making it one of the most powerful weapons in the game.
The moment she picked up the dagger, the Gluttony Brand on the back of Elise's hand appeared on its own, as if it wanted her to sacrifice the dagger to Him.
She had a premonition that if she sacrificed the dagger to the trash can, her gluttony mark would enter the next stage, or even the stage after that.
However, she had no intention of sacrificing such a powerful weapon. Elise handed the dagger directly to the maid: "This is your spoils of war, keep it for yourself."
"But this is a gift I prepared for Miss." Although the dagger was indeed very powerful, the little maid didn't care. In her opinion, it was the best gift for her mistress.
"Since you gave it to me, it's mine now. Is there a problem with me giving my things to you as a gift?"
The little maid blinked her cute big eyes, hesitated for a moment, then put the dagger away. Then she began to think: the gift she had given away had returned to her, so what gift should she give to her mistress?
"How about... I offer myself to Miss?" A shrimp-headed idea suddenly popped into Misha's little head.
But she soon realized that she was already in the form of the young lady, just as the young lady said, she was already the young lady's person, so there was no way to give her back to the young lady, right?
The little maid was caught in a dilemma.
Just then, Elise suddenly felt the Gluttony Brand on the back of her hand convey a sense of grievance after failing to receive the sacrifice she wanted.
This also surprised Elise. She felt that she could understand the anger that the gluttony mark conveyed, but what was this about feeling wronged?

"I'll be going to Angto again soon, and I'll get you something good to eat then." With that, Elise threw the faceless man's corpse into the trash can.
Whether it understood Elise's feedback or had eaten the protagonist's corpse, the Gluttony Mark flickered a few times before falling silent.
Besides these things, there was also the Faceless Man's spatial ring, which contained many valuable items. However, Elise entrusted them all to the little maid for safekeeping, as they were the little maid's spoils of war.
After taking care of everything, Elise leisurely leaned back in her chair and turned her gaze back to the night sky, enjoying the dazzling performance.
……
The performance lasted until midnight tonight.
After the performance, Elise leisurely returned indoors, intending to take a shower and go to bed.
Just then, the little maid excitedly approached her: "Miss, let me help you take a bath!"
During the time she was away from her mistress, she thought about giving her mistress a bath countless times, and now that she's back, she finally has the chance.
Seeing the excited little maid, Elise smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Watching the little maid happily follow Elise towards the bath, Elena couldn't help but wonder, was helping someone else take a bath something interesting?
Well, she still didn't quite understand the little maid's thought process. All she knew was that she would soon be able to change out of this flimsy and insecure maid outfit.
However, when the time actually came, she felt inexplicably reluctant to part with it. It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with the maid outfit, but rather that she was reluctant to part with the extra wages she would receive as a personal maid.
After the maid returned, Elise once again enjoyed the feeling of having a personal maid help her bathe.
