The girl sitting on the cushion held her chin in one hand and held a glass of bright red wine in her other hand. Her expression was unusually cold and thoughtful.
"Her Majesty the Queen has intervened..." she murmured.
"Um...yes, sorry, we should simplify the procedure. If we can ignite the ignition in advance, maybe we can make it in time..."
Judge Wendell was defending himself, but before he could finish his words, the Baroness interrupted him.
"Burning the female reporter to death is not the point. All in all, our goal has been achieved. The person hiding behind the female reporter has been exposed."
Hearing this, Judge Wendell's expression lifted, and the previous shame was wiped away.
"Then the teacher has..."
"Yes, He has already taken action, but he encountered some trouble. Everyone in the city saw the grand event that day." Remilia opened her lips lightly and drank the red wine. The wine flowed from her like blood.
The corners of his mouth slipped.
"Could it be that the person who appeared in the sky that day..." Judge Wendell seemed to understand everything, "was the teacher?"
Remilia said nothing and stared at him with seductive eyes.
Wendell was shocked again and said: "A lot of weird things appeared in the sky, like two forces colliding. Teacher...he...who is he fighting?"
Curiosity is an instinct that mortals cannot give up, and Judge Wendell is extremely eager to explore the knowledge under the abyss.
However, Dame Remilia just smiled and waved her white hands, but did not answer this question for him.
"This is not an area you can be involved in. Your main task now is to inform me of the whereabouts of that lady. This is why I came to you."
After hearing this, Wendell showed doubts at first: "Which lady?"
"Of course it's the lady who... narrowly escaped death."
Wendell reacted immediately, rubbed his hands together and replied: "If I guessed correctly, she should still be in Yotun, because the railway line was damaged and the temporary port was closed after that day. With her current situation
The situation is such that it’s difficult to leave here.”
After saying that, Wendell remembered something again and exclaimed: "Oh! I remember her aunt rented an apartment in the city and has been living there. Now she has nowhere to go but there!"
"Which apartment?" Dame Remilia asked, raising her head.
Judge Wendell quickly told her the address and said that it was where the police arrested Abigail.
After learning the address, Dame Remilia pushed open the car window and looked into the dead rainy night.
The rain lightly drifted into the carriage and sprinkled on the fair neck of the Baroness. The judge opposite felt a chill for a short time.
Suddenly, Wendell heard some strange noises outside the car.
The sound was similar to the sound of cracking stones, with a heavy breathing, as if some giant animal was scratching the wall.
The sound went from top to bottom, then from bottom to top, extending to the roof, running on the tiles of the sloped roof, making a crackling and creepy sound.
Groaning, snorting, whistling...
Judge Wendell's heart was beating wildly. He knew that something must have appeared outside the car at this moment. He wanted to look out, but he was very scared.
Countess Remilia just looked out the car window quietly, with a strange sneer on her lips.
"Okay... you can go home, if you still have a home..."
Unexpectedly, Dame Remilia actually asked Judge Wendell to get out of the car.
The latter thought of the terrible movements outside, and felt very uneasy in his heart.
However, when he opened the door, he found that there was nothing on the street on a rainy night.
There were neither pedestrians nor monsters.
The strange coachman set off with his whip, and the Lugosi family's vehicle drove away, leaving Wendell alone and shivering in the cold wind.
He thought he had heard wrong just now, and when he turned around to leave, he suddenly discovered that outside a certain building, there were several pieces of rubble that had fallen from the roof...
…
The lease term has not expired yet, but things have changed.
Abigail leaned against the window of the apartment bedroom, staring blankly at the deserted street.
The house had not been tidied up for a long time, and everything was quite messy. The personal belongings that were scattered when Abigail was taken away were still scattered around, but she had neither the energy nor the mood to sort them out.
After returning from the execution ground, her body was still weak. She spent the past few days resting and replenishing her nutrition, and didn't care about other things at all.
She also thought about leaving here and escaping back to Velen.
But Aunt Rachel is no longer here, and there is no point in wherever she is.
The city, like herself, was crumbling and half-dead after experiencing countless ravages.
Some time ago, there were many people protesting on the streets against the tax increase law, but after the dramatic changes in the sky on the day of the execution, it seemed that most of the people were dead, and no one dared to continue wandering on the streets.
Abigail withdrew her dull gaze, slowly got up and moved to the bathroom.
She needs to put a clean bandage on herself again to treat and protect this body that is as ugly as bones.
But just then, she heard some strange noises.
The sound came from outside, like someone was climbing along the wall, very fast, and there were more than one!
She thought it was a thief and was so frightened that she looked around for weapons to defend herself, but only found a clothes pole.
However, the "thieves" outside the wall did not break in immediately. Abigail heard them climb to a higher level and reach the roof...
Wow~~!
The windows were broken, but not in Abigail's house, but in the room above.
Abigail remembered the landlord of the apartment who lived there.
Next, she immediately heard a burst of heart-rending screams, accompanied by some terrifying low moans and roars, as well as the sounds of gnawing and breaking bones.
The landlord is a family of four. In addition to her and her husband, they also have a thirteen-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter.
But... Abigail heard the sounds of all of them before they died, including the cry of the youngest girl.
This time, she was so frightened that she almost collapsed.
She immediately understood that those who broke into the house were not thieves at all... No, it should be said that they were definitely not human beings. They were just here to kill people!
The sounds of death upstairs gradually subsided, and heavy steps sounded on the ceiling. Abigail analyzed the frequency of their walking and calculated that there were at least three separate individuals on the other side, and they walked upright with legs, but the steps were very heavy, and compared to
Ordinary humans are much heavier.
Wow~!
Another window was broken, and those things seemed to have run outside again, and crawled along the outer wall to the lower floor!
Abigail's heart was beating wildly, and she instantly felt a strong sense of danger.
Are these things going to kill an entire building?
At this critical moment, without thinking too much, she immediately opened the door and ran out of the room, running down the corridor.
She had only rested for a few days, and her physical strength had not yet recovered, so she could not run fast at all.
As soon as she ran to the first floor downstairs, Abigail heard that the window in her room was broken, and the monsters outside the wall had already rushed in...
