Chapter 86 More Discoveries
Backlund, who is always filled with fog, is as calm as ever.
Well, very peaceful, at least on the surface.
"Susie, I'm very uneasy. Even Gray Lint has changed. He is already the 47th. They all said that it was because of exercise and changing skin care products, but I can see that they are all lying...
The serial murders in the middle of the night are still continuing, a large-scale explosion also occurred at the Wilk Hotel in the Backlund Bridge area, those abnormal gang fights, the strange current situation in the East District and the dock area... Backlund seems to be getting more and more...
The more abnormal it is, what should I do?"
After closing the door and hiding in her room, Audrey knelt down on the carpet, spread out newspapers one after another, and said this to the golden retriever dog next to her.
She looked very serious, as if she was really discussing a problem with the golden retriever.
The big golden retriever dog named Susie also read the newspaper carefully. After carefully reading all the news reports compiled by Audrey, it stirred the air and made a sound, using the unskilled Loen language.
said:
"Audrey, you should stay away from those people who have changed. They are very dangerous. Maybe... maybe the count knows something. There is too little information available to us. Why not try asking questions directly?"
When she first heard this proposal, the troubled girl wanted to deny it directly.
She doesn't want her parents to be exposed to these dangerous things.
But if you think about it a little deeper, you will realize that even if she is in contact with the circle, she can know this information, then her parents' circle will only know more, and they have even passed the danger many times.
They should be reminded discreetly!
After thinking about this, Audrey swept away the sadness on her face, happily hugged Susie and said with a smile:
"Susie, you are awesome, I need to think about what to do."
Happy that she had helped, Susie wagged her tail happily.
With the cooperation of two "audiences", one person and one dog, this hidden reminder was launched during tea time.
After her parents ended the conversation about the East Chester County manor, Audrey blinked her beautiful emerald eyes and subconsciously showed a sweet smile. This of course attracted the attention of her parents. After the two looked at each other curiously,
Earl Hall looked at his little daughter dotingly and asked softly:
"It seems that our little angel has thought of something very interesting. I wonder if we will be honored to share this joy?"
Looking at her husband's childish behavior, the Countess smiled and shook her head, and then looked at Audrey with the same expectancy.
Audrey seemed a little embarrassed to be watched by her parents like this. She put down the expensive teacup in her hand with a smile, sat down very dignifiedly, like a child trying to act like an adult, and said to the two of them:
"Your Excellency, Countess, recently the aristocracy of Backlund has become popular among the nobles of Backlund for exercising to shape their bodies and take care of their skin. Even the clothes and accessories made by famous designers have become difficult to buy. Oops! Audrey's most handsome and handsome father is also popular.
I have the most beautiful and noble mother, and I am about to face a challenge."
It was originally just some teasing jokes, but Audrey, who has become a Sequence 8 "Mind Reader", accurately captured the panic in her parents' hearts. Her father could still maintain the expression on his face, but the nervousness in her mother's eyes was no longer enough.
cover up.
She gently put down the white ceramic tea cup with a tulip pattern in her hand, but she didn't even notice that the tea cup was slightly crooked, so she hurriedly picked up Audrey's topic and said:
"Trends will always happen like this over and over again. Audrey, you are Backlund's most dazzling gem. There is no need to chase this trend that requires harming yourself. Losing weight is very painful, and those skin care products can only bring false appearances.
As Russell said, beauty has a price."
Hearing this, Audrey, who was smiling sweetly on the surface, felt her heart sink.
Sure enough, her parents knew the inside story of this matter, even the truth!
Following her mother's words, her father and mother exchanged glances, also put down the tea cups in their hands, and said to Audrey solemnly:
"Audrey, not all trends need to be chased. The goddess's teachings tell us to love the true self. Appropriate decoration can bring pleasure, but excessive decoration will only lose yourself and become a clown in the eyes of others. That is so real.
It’s so ugly.”
After hearing her parents' opinions, Audrey returned to her youthful and lively appearance, and said to her parents with a smile:
"I know, Dad, Mom."
After the afternoon tea with various thoughts was over, Audrey returned to the study to read.
Her parents just sat in silence. The countess looked at her husband who was meditating without saying anything, and did not disturb her. After a while, Earl Hall called a servant with a serious face and whispered instructions.
What, then turned to his wife and said:
"Look at the people Audrey has been in contact with recently, and if you are smart, give them a warning."
I didn't say it was unintelligent, but the Countess knew what to do, and she nodded in approval.
Not knowing that her small circle was about to be purged, a worried Audrey came to the study, found a reason to dismiss the servants, and informed Mr. Fool of the situation through prayer.
She hoped to get some enlightenment and guidance.
But she didn't expect that she actually directly saw a vague figure praying. The gentleman was reporting on the progress of her investigation into Backlund's "demon conspiracy."
Knowing that the change was related to the "Witch", coupled with her understanding of various details, Audrey clearly understood the terrifying spread of this extraordinary influence, and she immediately remembered the truth about the disaster in the Fusac Empire.
Thinking that that kind of disaster might happen to Backlund, Audrey was so scared that she prayed again and asked what she could do.
Again she got a response.
"My beloved is investigating who has changed and the approximate time of the change to locate the extraordinary source. You can also participate in collecting information in a covert manner."
When she heard that great voice, Audrey's inner fear was dispelled a lot.
But what she didn't know was that when she expressed her gratitude to Mr. Fool, not far behind her, in a small "hidden space" that was invisible and undetectable, a fly disappeared directly.
At the same time, in an orphanage that nominally belonged to the Church of the Night, a girl dressed in men's clothing with an extremely unconventional style closed the "Legend of Russell" in her hand, stood up and left the lounge.
She was wearing a dark blue men's formal suit, with a classical and complex butterfly pattern embroidered with gold thread on the collar and cuffs, a black sapphire button carved into an oval petal shape with a gold edge on the edge, and silver round-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose.
From the edge, a slender shiny silver chain hangs down, then continues to the back of the neck, connecting to both ends of a star-shaped diamond.
It was Lottie who accepted Emmett's invitation and came to Backlund.
The orphanage where she is staying now is where Aurora is hiding.
It's not quite right to say he's hiding, I should say...
Work!
Passing by the room where some fabric accessories and toys are being made, and then walking through the long corridor to the small playground at the back, there are older children helping with the work, younger children still playing, and dressing up as nuns.
None of the staff, nor the men and women who came to volunteer, noticed her.
Just like walking in her own home, she skillfully found an old man who dressed like a gardener and also did the work of a gardener.
There are seven or eight children beside the old man helping.
Watching the kind-looking old man, teaching the children the most basic gardening knowledge with interesting stories and taking them to take care of the vegetables in the small vegetable patch, Lottie just felt ridiculous.
Who would have thought that this kind old man was the bloody butcher of the Aurora Society.
"Saint of Shadows" Emmett!
Having long sensed Lottie's arrival, Emmett, who was disguised as a kind old man, turned around and returned to his original appearance under the illusion cast by the other party, and respectfully touched his chest and saluted:
"Lotte, what can I do for you?"
Staring at the other person's eyes covered with black cloth strips, Lottie chuckled and said:
"I discovered a strange 'thief' who possesses the divinity of the 'True Creator' and a clone of Amon. The 'plague' caused by the Witch Church and the Demon Family has almost borne fruit in him.
I'm curious, can you tell me what you are doing?"
Emmett was not angry because of Lottie's plain question. He nodded with a smile, put his hands clasped on his chest with a pious expression, and said in a soft voice:
"That is the test prepared by the Lord for the growth of the children of the age. In the legends of heroes, there will always be some fateful enemies, right?"
