Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

"Nice to meet you."

With her other free hand, she gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt and, facing Su Hui, performed an ancient and standard court curtsy.

“I am Merlin Fiona.”

"I have come here in response to the invitation to cooperate."

Su Hui did not rush to respond to Merlin's greeting, but instead calmly swept his gaze over the tense women in the living room.

Emma, ​​Tina, Claire, and the others visibly relaxed upon seeing him appear.

"You all leave first, leave this to me."

Under Su Hui's reassurance and signaling, the women didn't say much and left the villa one after another.

As the last figure disappeared through the doorway, only Su Hui and Merlin remained in the living room.

Su Hui's gaze fell once again on that petite figure.

Only then was he able to take a closer look at this legendary Grand Mage.

This is a girl who can almost be described as "exquisite".

She was exceptionally petite, like a porcelain doll, her slender frame completely enveloped by the white blouse that shimmered with starlight.

Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down from the edge of her hood, incredibly smooth, with natural curls at the ends. A few ethereal, shimmering petals appeared and disappeared among her strands, rising and falling with her soft breaths.

Her skin was an almost transparent pale white, as if it had never seen the sun, so delicate that you couldn't see a single pore, like the finest white jade.

The shadow of the hood obscured most of her face, making it impossible for Su Hui to see what she looked like.

"As expected of the seventh-tier demigod that Bayonetta spoke of, who walks through countless worlds. Your power is even more astonishing than Bayonetta described."

Su Hui broke the silence first, his voice steady and calm.

He casually pointed to the sofa next to him.

"Please sit down, let's talk slowly."

"Mr. Su Hui, you flatter me."

Merlin's voice remained soft and melodious. She gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt, moved lightly, and sat down on the sofa with a dignified and proper posture, like a princess receiving an audience.

However, the moment she sat down...

Su Hui's next words, however, caused her perfect and elegant demeanor to collapse instantly.

"No. This is not a compliment. Even just a descending avatar, its power is astonishing."

"But this makes me even more curious: where is Merlin's true form now?"

The moment the words were spoken, the air in the living room seemed to freeze for a second.

Merlin's entire body froze.

She suddenly raised her head, and the huge hood slipped back due to the violent movement, revealing her face for the first time in its entirety.

That was a face that could make all the beauty in the world pale in comparison.

Her features were so exquisite that they resembled the most perfect creation of a god, but her blood-red pupils, which should have been as deep as the starry sky, were now wide open, filled with disbelief, shock, and panic.

Her small mouth opened slightly, she held the staff in front of her in a defensive posture, and looked at Su Hui with a surprised expression.

"How...how did you know?!"

Her voice was no longer ethereal and melodious; instead, it carried a hint of guilt and trembling, completely losing its previous composure and calmness.

She frantically tried to put the hood back on, but in her panic, she couldn't manage it.

"No...no! I...I am the original! What clone? I don't understand what you're talking about!"

She feigned composure, puffing out her not-so-ample chest, trying to mask the turmoil within with a forceful tone.

Su Hui remained silent.

He simply looked at her quietly, his eyes calm and unwavering, but the smile on his lips deepened.

Sometimes, silence is the best weapon.

Su Hui's silence, in Merlin's eyes, transformed into an invisible yet immense pressure.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, finally settling on a face that always wore a playful smile.

Bayonetta!

It must be that woman! She loves seeing me make a fool of myself!

“Beyuneta said it, didn’t she?!”

"Damn it! It must be that big-breasted woman!!"

Merlin seemed to have found an outlet for his anger, and suddenly said in a huff, his voice even carrying a hint of aggrieved nasal tone.

"I knew it! That old witch loves seeing me make a fool of myself! Where is she? Tell her to come out, I want to confront her face to face!"

"She left the safe zone before you arrived. We don't know where she is right now."

Su Hui looked at Merlin's reaction and replied calmly, finding the situation increasingly interesting.

What was originally just a trial run based on the system scan results seems to have yielded an unexpected surprise.

"what?!"

Merlin was taken aback, and then a hint of suspicion flashed in his blood-red eyes.

Bayonetta isn't here?

Doing something wrong = feeling guilty = running away!

"It really was her!"

Upon hearing this answer, Merlin felt as if he had finally received confirmation, and became even more convinced that Bayonetta had betrayed him.

She stole a glance at Su Hui and saw the ambiguous smile on his face, which completely shattered her last shred of hope.

It must have been Bayonetta who spilled all her secrets and then ran away!

under

The expression on her face changed visibly from vigilance and indignation to a dejected look of utter despair.

Then, under Su Hui's somewhat surprised gaze...

Her petite body slumped backward, and with a "thud," she collapsed onto the soft sofa, completely lacking any decorum.

The standard Ge You slouch.

Her legs, clad in delicate white lace stockings, were raised and swayed erratically in the air.

The blood-red eyes that had previously sparkled with panic and liveliness had now become lifeless, dead fish eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Ugh……"

She let out an extremely languid groan, the sound drawn out and carrying a strong sense of a recluse.

"Since we've been seen through, let's just leave it at that... I'm so tired..."

In just one minute, her entire demeanor shifted dramatically from that of a holy demigod to that of a completely lazy, slacker girl.

Su Hui: "..."

The stark contrast between before and after made Su Hui feel uncomfortable.

He looked at Merlin, who was sprawled on the sofa, swinging his two white-stockinged legs, his face clearly saying "I don't want to work hard anymore."

A strange thought even popped into my head.

Is she just one step away from lying around until the end of the universe, with a bag of potato chips in her left hand and a bottle of soda in her right?

Su Hui's lips almost twitched.

Fortunately, he had a strong mental fortitude and quickly recovered.

His eyes scanned the "demigod" who had completely given up, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Compared to that mysterious, elegant, and unpredictable demigod mage, this defenseless, completely lazy, and useless girl in front of her seems... easier to deal with.

at least,

She's much more sensible than Bayonetta, who's always scheming.

Since the other party has taken the initiative to lower their guard, why not be more assertive and completely take control of the rest of the discussion?

Once the thought arose, Su Hui no longer hesitated.

Su Hui took a step and slowly walked towards the sofa.

His tall figure approached step by step, finally stopping in front of Merlin.

A thick shadow completely enveloped her petite body.

Merlin, who was swinging his legs, seemed to sense something and paused.

She subconsciously raised her dead fish eyes and looked at Su Hui, who was standing in front of the sofa, looking down at her.

"Um... let's talk this out..."

She felt the undisguised aggression in those dark eyes, and her body unconsciously shrank back into the sofa.

Su Hui bent down, placed his hands on the back of the sofa, and completely enveloped her in his arms and shadow.

He leaned closer to her delicate face, and could almost smell the faint floral fragrance emanating from her.

His expression was clearly one of smiling, and his tone was so gentle it sounded like he was discussing something.

"Lord Merlin."

"Since you're not going to pretend anymore."

"Shouldn't we have a serious talk?"

His gentle tone, coupled with his imposing posture and those all-seeing eyes, made Merlin feel like a chick being watched by an eagle.

His face was smiling, and his tone was gentle, but his eyes revealed an undeniable forcefulness.

This sight startled Merlin, who instinctively shrank back, her petite frame appearing even more helpless against the large sofa.

"I...I'm telling you! Don't even think about bullying me!"

But he still clung to his last shred of dignity, puffing out his chest which barely rose and fell, and protested in a low voice, his tone fierce but his voice weak.

"I...I'm really amazing!"

95. Merlin is so cute! [5.2k]

"I...I'm really amazing!"

Merlin's cutesy yet fierce shouts echoed in the quiet living room, but they had no deterrent effect whatsoever.

Her blood-red pupils, which should have been as deep as the starry sky, were now slightly constricted due to tension, like a frightened kitten, its fur standing on end in a show of ferocity.

Looking at her desperately puffing out her small chest in an attempt to bluff, Su Hui could no longer suppress the smile on his lips; he almost burst out laughing.

A demigod mage who appears mysterious and elegant in front of outsiders is actually a cowardly and easily bullied pushover in private.

This stark contrast is truly fascinating.

However, Su Hui's vigilance did not decrease in the slightest.

He knew very well that the seemingly harmless, nerdy girl in front of him was actually a terrifying being who could travel through countless dimensions and whom even Bayonetta had to treat with utmost respect.

Even if it's just a clone, we must not let our guard down.

Despite the myriad thoughts swirling in his mind, Su Hui's expression grew increasingly gentle.

He slowly straightened up, withdrawing that extremely aggressive and oppressive aura.

Just when Merlin thought he was about to say something, Su Hui did something she didn't expect.

Instead of backing away, he plopped down on the sofa next to her.

The soft sofa suddenly sank down under his weight.

Merlin's petite body was caught off guard and sank in, involuntarily sliding a short distance towards Su Hui.

"ah!"
