Evelynn is truly beautiful; even the most skilled painters and artists couldn't capture her beauty. 😾 👤👮

But I know she's a demon, a demon who has lived for countless years and caused disasters everywhere. This time, it's Bilgewater's turn.

"Hey handsome, are you chasing after me like this hoping for a sweet hug?"

"Now that you're here, the invasion of the Shadow Isles isn't far off, is it?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I come looking for you?"

"Come find me?" Evelynn's words struck me as odd, and I was also wary. I wasn't confident I could defeat her.

"Yes, you look very fit and strong, so I'd like to have a sweet date with you."

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"

As I spoke, I thrust out the Wind Spear that had gathered behind me, with the Gale Sword following closely behind.

Evelynn didn't dodge and was directly stabbed by me. The powerful Wind Force instantly sliced her body into pieces, but unfortunately, it was just an illusion.

When my attack failed, I immediately retreated to my original spot, only to find that the scenery around me had changed. The dock had disappeared, and all around me was a barren beach.

Despite being careful for so long, I still fell for it. It seems that the illusion was one of her skills; breaking it would trap me in an illusion.

"Why launch an attack without warning? Can't we talk it over?"

"I have nothing to talk to you about. You didn't come here to chat, did you? You trapped me in this illusion, did you?"

"That'll make you behave, but don't worry, this won't last long. Come walk with me on the beach."

It seems I have no choice.

"No, you're Aspects now. You can use your Divine Strength to break through the illusion. Do you want to chat with me for a while, or break the illusion and return to reality? The choice is yours."

Evelynn seemed to be able to read minds, and directly told me how to break the illusion. I was indeed thinking of trying it with my Spiritual Power and Aspect Power.

However, she didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Since she could leave at any time, there was no harm in talking to her a little longer; I knew too little about her anyway.

"Okay, as you wish."

Having received an affirmative answer, Evelynn reappeared before me, and I knew this was also an illusion of hers.

I have many questions about her actions, such as whether she is involved in the disaster in Icathia, why she instigated Jinx to cause a riot, whether she opened the Howling Abyss, and what her relationship is with the Vastaya, etc.

There are still many questions I can't recall right now, but the most crucial one is: is she the same person as "that That Great One"?

Faced with my barrage of questions, Evelynn chuckled softly and answered them all with four words: "It concerns me."

Just as I was about to press for more information, she interrupted me, "We're not here to talk about those old stories today, and besides, I don't remember many of the details, so I can't give you an answer, haha..."

"So what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course we're talking about the Shadow Isles! Otherwise, I could contact you anytime, why choose now of all times?"

"The Shadow Isles? Fine, then tell me, did you incite the undead of the Shadow Isles to attack the living?"

"What an unromantic and clueless man! You'll never get love like that!"

"Uh... you don't need to worry about that."

Evelynn's tone was unusually gentle, and coupled with her beauty, it's no wonder she could make people lose their minds. I also avoided looking into her eyes to avoid getting caught up in it myself.

She said I'm bad at conversation, which is hard to argue with, but now I don't know what to say.

Evelynn chuckled again, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I came to tell you how to deal with the Shadow Isles."

"Deal with the Shadow Isles? Did I hear that right? I'd be grateful if you didn't help me invade!"

"It seems I've left a very bad impression on you, but I still want to tell you that I'm not your enemy, in a sense."

"Some kind of meaning? Haha, okay, at least you're not attacking me now."

I was immediately amused by Evelynn's words. After everything that's happened, she actually says she's not my enemy? Even if those disasters weren't directed at me, does that mean she's not my enemy?

Will they say they're not my enemies, but just want to invade Runeterra, when I encounter Void Creatures in the future?

But even though I was thinking about it, I didn't say it out loud, otherwise she would have told me I didn't know how to chat.

"Hmph." Evelynn gave a light hum and strolled along the beach.

The night sky was clear, the sea shimmered, and the waves lapped at her feet, making her look like a little girl collecting seashells from afar.

If a camera had captured this moment, it would surely have been a perfect work of art, but I didn't have time to appreciate it and quickly chased after it.

"Then tell me, how should I deal with the Shadow Isles?"

"Use the Life Rune."

"Life Rune?"

"Yes, the Shadow Isles are powerful because Mordekaiser obtained the Death Rune and thus ruled this place. If you can obtain the Life Rune, then you can purify the Shadow Isles and let the undead rest in peace."

"I've thought about that too, but where am I supposed to find Life Rune? And even if I did, I wouldn't know how to use them."

"I'm not going to concern myself with that, so you won't accuse me of having ulterior motives. I'm just telling you the method. As for where to find it and how to use it, are all of you just sitting around doing nothing?"

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, but I'm still curious, why did you want to help?"

"Of course it's because I like you! How about this, you become my lover, and I'll help you fight the undead, how about that?"

"A lover? Then who's your husband? He's probably already a cuckold..."

Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly remembered Twisted Fate's wife, Evelynn. I had suspected that they were the same person, but it had never been confirmed. I thought I'd ask her!

"Your husband is Twisted Fate! You're Evelynn, aren't you? You're the one we saw at the Serpent River last time!"

"Hmm... you're smart! Twisted Fate is a strange person, betraying me because he liked me, yet he doesn't know that I am who I am."

"Alright, you've confused me. Now that you're already married to Twisted Fate, why are you changing your identity to seduce him?"

"Well, it's just because it's fun, haha... Couples need to add some excitement every now and then, you know. Oh well, never mind, this guy's showing up!"

Evelynn disappeared as soon as she finished speaking, and the illusion dissipated. I found myself standing on the dock, enjoying the sea breeze.

A man ran over from not far away; he was handsome but somewhat disheveled—it was Twisted Fate.

"Evelynn! Yasuo, have you seen Evelynn? I just sensed her presence!"

"No, I came out to sober up, and I didn't see anyone."
