I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Little girl, you are quite capable. It's no wonder that Meicarlos has fought so hard on the border battlefield to have such an outstanding subordinate." Facing the shattered mirrors, Grusel's face looked quite ugly.

She could never have imagined that she had even gotten rid of Luo Shiqi, who was known as the most powerful magician. Instead, she met this little girl and wasted a lot of her time without even knowing where she was.

The mirror-like light could directly suppress Grusel's magic to a certain extent. In addition, the broken mirror could refract the light, causing multiple interferences to vision, hearing, and even consciousness. Grusel was almost tricked into turning back several times.

"How does it feel to be tripped up by others in the way you are most familiar with?" Ru Jing was not affected by Grusel at all. While making this sarcastic declaration, a dazzling light rose into the sky.

"It's not good." Seeing the dazzling light, Grusel couldn't help but panic.

With such a loud noise, even a fool would know that it was a signal for "requesting support". If she couldn't get past Rujing, and other people arrived, it would be even more impossible for her to escape.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly jumped into Grusel's body, and her head shook, as if she had received some important information.

Grusel was stunned at first, then he put on a confident and somewhat arrogant smile and said frivolously, "You are so powerful, but you can't even save your own brother. It's ridiculous."

"..." Rujing's body shook, with a look of panic in his eyes. The broken mirrors floating in the air also made shaking sounds at the same time.

She knew that Grusel was always good at deceiving people, so she should just pretend she didn't hear anything at this time.

But her brother's experience was like a lump of iron in her heart. Even if it came from the mouth of a vicious person, she could no longer remain calm as before.

Seeing Rujing waver, Grusel dodged the broken mirror and looked for a chance to escape while continuing, "You are willing to risk your life for an irrelevant noble, but you don't even have the courage to save your own brother from suffering? You are really ugly... Oh, I forgot, the root cause of your suffering is your family!"

Rujing remained silent, but the power of the Broken Mirror's attack was much stronger than before. It exploded repeatedly, like countless powerful destructive magics, almost forcing Grusel into a desperate situation.

When she wanted to press on with the victory again and teach this arrogant old woman a lesson, she suddenly realized that her mission was to stop Grussell and wait for reinforcements to arrive and then work together to take her down in one fell swoop.

But now, all the broken mirrors she summoned were used for attack and could no longer hinder Grusel.

Taking advantage of the moment when Rujing was stunned, she immediately found the right time to escape and finally got rid of the biggest predicament.

When Rujing finally came to his senses and tried to stop her again, the person had disappeared.

Her mirror light can suppress Grusel. Similarly, when Grusel hides herself in the darkness, Rujing will never be able to find her again.

Suddenly, a golden flame fell from the sky, and Luo Shiqi, whose whole body was burning with golden flames, fell beside her holding Manjushage.

"Rujing, what's the situation?" Manjushage asked as soon as she stood firm.

"I was almost there, but unfortunately she escaped." Frustrated, Ru Jing wanted to seriously reflect on herself, but was interrupted on the spot: "It doesn't matter, you've exhausted a lot of energy on that girl, I'm afraid she can't run far, leave it to us from now on."

After saying that, he very consciously put his hands on Luo Shiqi's shoulders, and was even angry because Luo Shiqi didn't put his arms around his waist the first time: "Hurry up, don't let that guy run away!"

"Okay!" Luo Shiqi immediately picked up Manjusaka's waist, which was so slender that it seemed to be able to pinch water out of it. He stepped lightly and the two of them immediately flew out, leaving Rujing stunned.

"It's nearby." After landing, Manjushage looked around immediately.

She could sense that Grusel's magical reaction disappeared in this area, but the smell of blood was still there. It was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength after escaping just now, and he could only find a place to hide quickly.

It is not difficult for a dark magician to completely conceal her aura, especially when her magic power is almost exhausted. It will take a lot of effort to find her.

They were too far away from the Gospel District, and the surrounding area was full of ordinary people who had not evacuated, so they had no way of distinguishing Grusel's presence.

Just as Manjushage was about to take Luo Shiqi to search the area, they saw a familiar face.

"Thesis, why are you here?" Manjushage was surprised at first, but then quickly realized that they had already chased out of the Gospel Area.

A normal person would be exhausted just running half the distance, but Grussell managed to escape such a long distance with his old and broken body.

"Well, I listened to your advice and came here not long after. Who were you looking for just now? You seemed to be in a hurry?" Thesis said calmly.

"Have you seen an old lady here? We have something important to discuss with her."

"There are quite a few old women here recently, some with children, some alone, in all kinds of situations. Which one are you looking for?"

Manjushage originally wanted to skip the time of explanation and get straight to the point, but who would have thought that Thesis did not appear here by chance. To him, Grusel was just an ordinary woman with an unremarkable appearance.

"She has deep wrinkles on her face, is about the same height as me, and is thin..." Manjushage didn't have a deep impression of Grusel, or rather, her appearance was very ordinary and she couldn't leave a deep impression on people at all.

Thesis thought for a long time before slowly saying, "I don't know if I remember correctly, but that person should have walked this way."

Manjushage was not confident in her description, but having a direction was better than searching everywhere, so she followed Luo Shiqi to look in the direction he pointed.

Unfortunately, after searching the area for a long time, they couldn't find any trace of Grusel, so they had to return the same way. As a result, they saw Thesis still standing there, looking around with his head tilted up.

"Thesis? Have you been waiting here?" asked Lycoris radiata.

"I just got here with someone, but you look like you saw me not long ago?" Thesis looked confused.

"Strange, could it be that the Thesis just now was someone else pretending to be him? But why didn't I feel anything unusual from him, not even any fluctuations of magic power?" Now, Manjushage was also in trouble.

Grusel's magic power has been exhausted, and even if he has the ability to change his appearance, he cannot disguise himself as Thesis.

What's more, Luo Shiqi and Manzhu Shahua would definitely see through her plan at the first moment, so it would be too dangerous to escape in this way.

"So, could it be that he is Grusel's accomplice?" Luo Shiqi guessed.

"It's hard to say. At least neither of us can tell what's wrong with him." Manjushage sounded a little regretful.

He was almost able to catch Grussell, but in the end he let her escape.

Ultimately it was just bad luck. Thesis was already in a state of amnesia, so it was normal for him to forget someone he had just met. Plus, there were elderly people evacuating Flowing Light City nearby, and it was really hard to find Grusel after he blended into the crowd.

Manjushage was about to go back when she suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Thesis, are you looking for someone too?"

"Yeah, I don't know him, but I felt like that person knew me. The way he looked at me was very similar to the way Miss Manjushage and Luo Shiqi exchanged glances. I was wondering if he knew me, but when I turned around, he was gone."

"We didn't flirt with each other—" Manjusaka said silently, then realized that this was not the point. She ignored the silence of the people around her and continued, "If you are not mistaken, that guy should be your acquaintance. I just don't know why he ran away. If you have a chance to meet again, it's better to ask clearly. After all, you should care a lot."

"Yeah." Thesis nodded: "You look like you are looking for someone."
