Miss Hawkins' forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat - at some point, three edgeless knives quietly emerged from the shadows in front of her.
In just a moment, she was about to be stabbed into the eyeball by those three daggers!
Of course Miss Hawkins knew it.
——These are exactly the throwing knives used by Hawkeye’s assassins!
It's just that it usually flies out of thin air and pierces directly into her or her colleagues' bodies... This was the first time she saw a flying knife that was not shot out. Fortunately, she dodged in time...
But at this moment, Miss Hawkins suddenly stiffened.
she……
...Did you really hide away?
It felt like it suddenly became extremely quiet behind me.
The enemy clearly appeared, but there was no movement at all...
After realizing this, Hawkins felt sweaty.
She didn't dare to look back at all.
But the more she thought about it, the more scared and curious she became.
Finally, after an unknown length of silence... Hawkins couldn't help but look back.
——Just a glance.
She felt like the blood all over her body was almost frozen——
The former companions are now divided and evenly distributed.
There is me among you, and you among me. The body is now only one centimeter square...but the height has also dropped from 1.7 meters, 1.8 meters to 1 centimeter.
When... were they killed?
Miss Hawkins' teeth chattered and she sweated from behind.
——Didn’t they just complete the barrier just a few seconds ago?
Why did they all die in just an instant?
"You have to survive—ask all the questions you need to ask first, Miss Hawkins."
Following what "Lord Zeller" just said, Lily said slowly.
A maid wearing a black and white maid dress with her eyes closed, giving off a gentle and tranquil feeling gradually emerged from the shadows.
Her right hand was clenched into a fist, with three handleless blades clamped between her fingers.
"Surrender."
Lily opened her eyes slightly and stared at Hawkins: "If you surrender, you can survive."
"I...I surrender! I surrender!"
The embarrassed Hawkins shouted without hesitation.
Her voice was almost mournful, and there was no trace of her previous cruelty and arrogance towards Zula.
But at this moment... gray spider threads condensed in the four corners of the ceiling of the room at some point, and suddenly popped out, hanging Hawkins directly up!
"Tell me," Lily's voice was cold, "What are you doing here?"
"We are...we are here under the order of the Earl!"
After the long-black-haired Moon Child girl was hung in the air, she stabbed her master in the back without hesitation.
"What are you here for? Which count?"
Lily's voice was a little unhappy: "Don't make me ask before I say anything."
"It's Count Rogers! Lord Dio de Rogers..."
The Miss Moonchild named Hawkins told everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Master Zeller... I mean, Alan Zeller was originally tracking a key that can allow people to dream in the physical body. Later, this
The key was taken away by the Phantom Thief Yassen.
"This afternoon, after Alan Zeller reported to the Earl, the Earl asked us to come and take away the key... It is best to let the Phantom Thief Yassen get lost in the dream world. To do this, just kill the dreamer.
Just the original body is fine. If he loses the beacon to return to the material world, he won't be able to stay in the dream world for long."
"That is to say," Lily repeated, "you hope to kill Miss Mia so that Yassen, who entered the dream world through the dream key, will be lost or even die. I am right."
"...Yes, it's like this..."
Miss Hawkins was very uneasy: "I, I have said everything...I have surrendered, Master! We have something to talk about..."
Judging from her well-behaved appearance, it was not clear that she was clamoring to skin Zula just a minute ago.
But the next moment, Hawkins suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Lily's right hand was lightly touching the void as if playing a piano, and her body gradually felt a premonition of separation.
"Wait, wait... Sir... please... I have said everything... I have said everything... you promised..."
Hawkins spoke incoherently, and his voice was half trembling and half desperate. But there was no trace of elegance and calmness.
"ah."
Lily said leisurely: "I lied to you - you deserve to die."
The next moment, Hawkins' body was cut into pieces of flesh by countless thin shadow lines.
Under the adhesion of the gray spider webs, it spurted out and exploded in all directions like a fountain. But these small pieces of meat were perfectly sealed into ruby-like blocks, adhering to those spider webs.
A small amount of blood spilled on the ground. It looked like a small amount of red ice had melted.
"Okay, you're safe. Miss Zula."
Lily looked at Zula who was curled up shivering under the blanket, and her tone was calm and gentle.
She bowed slightly to Zula, saluting the guests like a maid. But there was no trace of the humility of a servant on her face, only the charming calmness and confidence: "It's best not to have any trouble with these monsters.
What a longing, they are just a group of man-eating beasts."
"Miss……"
"My name is Lily."
"Miss Lily..."
Zula hesitated for a while, then wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and said seriously and politely: "Thank you. I will keep your words in mind...I will not be confused by the Son of the Moon again..."
She did this from the bottom of her heart.
Ever since he witnessed the depravity and madness of these Children of the Moon...and saw that they would make ugly appearances before they died, Zula suddenly felt that becoming a Son of the Moon didn't seem so good. What he was originally pursuing passionately, now,
It seemed like that was all...it just made her feel uninterested.
"Don't think too much, I just want to protect my young master."
Lily's tone was gentle but slightly distant, but even so, every word she replied was extremely serious: "You don't need to live for anyone. You just need to live for yourself - this is how my young master taught me
."
"--Really?"
Aiwass's smiling voice came from the back room: "I don't remember saying this.
"But I'm very happy...you have really grown up a lot, Lily."
The next moment, Aiwass and Yassen pushed out the door.
Seeing that Aiwass had returned safely, Lily suddenly had a smile on her face and her eyes became brighter.
But Sherlock was still nowhere to be seen in the room.
Did it fail, or...
Lily glanced around, then looked at Aiwass.
"——Successful."
Aiwass simply replied: "But Sherlock's soul is not here - he has returned to his body. We have to go to the Duke of Vendôme's Palace urgently, and we may not be able to come back in a day or two. The remaining time is not
I will try my best to solve all problems within two days.
"We will take the key away, but there may be people who are not well-informed and will continue to come here. Lily, please stay here first and protect the two ladies - and the dolls we brought back. Be careful not to let them
They are damaged. We can contact you through Little Crow at any time. If you need anything, just call me."
"clear."
Lily nodded and gave a brief reply: "I'll stay here and kill each one."
In her words, there was the killing intent of the beast that was sheathed but still sharp.
The once childish and inferior maid has now gradually become chic and confident.
And Yasen, who was like a comedian in the dream world, also quickly stepped forward to comfort the crying Zula. At this moment, he looked calm and reliable, and he quickly coaxed Zula to sleep.
After wiping away the tears of his little lover, Yasen quietly hugged her and returned to her room, letting her sleep well.
When Yasen came out again, he still had a slightly worried look on his face...Obviously, he regretted the trouble he had caused.
Without the help of Aiwass, he might really be lost in the dream world. His two lovers would also be killed by himself because of his reckless behavior... and even so, he would not be able to save them.
Come back Sherlock.
Fortunately Aiwass is here.
"Let's go rescue Sherlock quickly."
Thinking of this, Yasen whispered to Aiwass: "It will change later... It will be bad if he is stuffed into the dream world again. Then we may have to go back and look for it again..."
"No," Aiwass replied leisurely, "the Duke of Vendôme would not do that.
