The last ray of light disappeared above the dome, and Belfast, which is surrounded by mountains and sea, was lit up with lights.
Looking down from the Agate Lake on the top of Sugard Mountain, leaving behind the inner pressure and burden, this prosperous scenery is intoxicating.
The sea outside Crescent Bay is not silent either. Scattered ships on the sea are returning to port, and the lighthouses on the rocks are guiding them.
"I would be happy if you would stay."
The baron pushed aside the hair that was hanging down from his forehead, stood next to Lu Li and whispered softly. She was still wearing a maid's outfit, and her skirt was gently lifted by the breeze blowing by the lake.
The baron felt a slight chill and was a little strange. The maid's uniform was obviously very thick, but she was still wearing calf socks.
"I'm going back to the detective agency." Lu Li turned away from looking at the city and looked at the butler standing behind him with his hands tied.
"Please wait a moment, the carriage will be prepared for you." The butler said calmly, ignoring the dissatisfied gaze of his own baron, and called the maid further away to make arrangements in a low voice.
The baron took a step back and asked, pretending to be reserved, "Why don't you go back after dinner?"
Lu Li was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Walking around at night was not a wise choice at this time, and a sumptuous dinner was not worth the risk Lu Li took.
The baron's eyes flashed with annoyance that he had not succeeded.
In any case, when the butler came forward to tell Lu Li that the carriage was ready, the baron could only watch Lu Li reluctantly as he walked towards the garden, while glaring at the unhelpful butler.
Strangely enough, as Lu Li left, the coldness that made her uncomfortable also disappeared.
Is it Lu Li's ghost assistant?
The baron touched the goosebumps that appeared on his forearms.
Not long after, the butler came back and said to the baron, who was rubbing his arm in front of the lake: "It's getting cold, let's go back."
The Baron turned around, folded his arms and said dissatisfiedly: "I sometimes feel that you are in love with that guy, so you use small means to stop me."
"I just think you should care more about your own life at this time." The butler's reply was still impersonal. "And you are a noble, so you should be more reserved."
"Reserved? Everyone knows that I, Baron Joseph, have nothing to do with this word." The baron raised his head and shook his golden ponytail. "I want to get him immediately!"
The butler didn't answer.
After mumbling for a while, Anna pulled her skirt in disgust and complained: "The maid uniform must not bring out my temperament, hmm! Lulu, contact the tailor immediately to change my maid uniform."
"I won't contact you." The butler refused expressionlessly.
"I command you as a baron!"
"I refuse as a steward."
"Tsk... then contact the makeup artist, I need new makeup."
"OK."
…
The carriage covered with soft blankets did not feel any vibration.
"How long do we have to do this commission?" Anna muttered. Hiding in the other world, she could see clearly that the baron with a bad reputation looked at Lu Li like he was prey, which made her unhappy.
"Until the end of the story." "How do you feel today?" Lu Li asked.
Anna knew what he was asking, and after thinking for a while she said: "The evil spirit seems to have ignored me..."
Lu Li was thoughtful and had a new idea.
…
The rain that had stopped for several days came again at midnight.
The next morning, it was raining lightly outside the hazy window, and pedestrians were passing by in a hurry.
He didn't eat breakfast. After washing up, Lu Li got into the Baron's carriage outside the longhouse and left the Sailor Quarter.
In the carriage, Lu Li opened a newspaper he bought from a newsboy on the street - the newspaper he ordered had not been delivered when he left the detective agency.
[The weirdness of Port Zenster has left!]
The font that caught his eye made Lu Li pause in turning the paper.
Looking down, more content is revealed.
[The shadows hovering over Zenster Port have dispersed, dark cloud-like crows are hovering in the sky, and the police are searching for survivors in the city!]
A picture is attached to the text. In the black-and-white photo with serious noise, the sky is filled with dense black spots, the city below is deserted, and the sea farther away is calm.
The faceless giant that makes one's mind distorted just by looking at the processed photos has disappeared.
There is no more detailed content in the newspaper. Today is Friday, and there are still three days until the new issue of "Investigator Weekly." At that time, Lu Li will see the actual situation in Zernst City.
Such as the reason why the faceless giant disappeared.
Lu Li slowed down his reading of the newspaper, and when he was about to finish it, the carriage came to the cobblestone path beside Agate Lake.
Baron Joseph's huge estate is just ahead.
Lu Li scanned the weather forecast. Tomorrow would continue with today's light rain, and the day after tomorrow, lightning and wind symbols would appear next to the cloud symbol.
The precursor of the rainy season, the storm is coming.
After leaving the carriage and walking into the mansion, the maid took Lu Li into the dining room.
After breakfast, Lu Li changed into servant clothes and went outside the bedroom. Three exorcists were already waiting here to say hello.
Not long after, the baron and the butler appeared on the other side of the corridor.
The Baron is still wearing the maid uniform from yesterday, but the difference is that she has put on makeup today.
The fair and delicate complexion was replaced by dull and yellowish skin, with a few freckles dotted on the cheeks, and the soft blond hair that was dazzling in the sun was deliberately messed up and tied into a ponytail.
The Baron looks like an ordinary teenage maid.
"'Sarah' is likely to take the maid Irene with her when she goes out. The dignity of the nobility cannot be slandered." The butler beside him explained to the exorcists who looked at him with doubts.
Baron Joseph's appearance made it difficult to recognize her.
As the time approached for the ceremony to begin, Lu Li and others entered the bedroom to wait.
[Chapter 5 Painful Encounter]
The clock beside the table pointed to the hour, and an obscure ancient voice sounded deep in everyone's minds.
[Sarah slowly opened her eyes. This sleep was terrible. She had suffered from insomnia for a long time. She sat up from the bed. Bright sunlight poured in through the window. The maid Irene was wiping the dust on the desk. Other servants were also there.
Cleaning the room quietly. "Do I look a little haggard?" Sara hesitantly asked Irene who found herself awake. "It seems a little..." the maid Irene said, blinking.]
"It seems a little bit." The baron said with a cold face.
She kept avoiding looking at Lu Li.
["What should I do? I can't remove it..." Sara looked at the maid Irene anxiously, "Can you do anything Irene? Help me!" Irene said with slight hesitation: "You really have to sneak away.
Want to go out and meet?"]
"Are you really going to sneak out and meet up?"
["Yes! We have made an appointment!" After receiving Sara's confirmation, the maid Irene quietly clenched her fists... She must tell the head of the family about this. 】
