Chapter 2035
"On the roof of the house, 【Foreign Traveler】 looked down at the note in his hand after looking into the distance, obtained additional clue 7..."
Xia De on the roof looked at his own handwriting on the note. The hoarse voice on the clock tower actually paused for a moment. Afterwards, the black-robed person standing on the west side of the round table actually raised his hands:
"Additional clue 7, the criminal who attacked Freeman Hawthorne is Miss Charlotte.
Common Calendar 1854 Summer, Sun Month 29th. With the help of excellent eloquence, amazing charm, and good luck, 【Foreign Traveler】 Miss Charlotte successfully cracked the 'Freeman Hawthorne' assault case, found the murderer 'Miss Charlotte', and arrested her with her own hands. This is a story of a foreigner and a foreigner, a story of a despicable person and a noble person. Dice Story Collection, only loves true sages."
"Are you joking?"
The man who was helping the woman in the black dress who had only one last breath left, widened his eyes and asked the black-robed person hosting the game. Although the other two storytellers of the story had similar moods, at least Bella Belindell reacted at the first time what she should do at this moment:
"I won. For the victory reward, I want a divination-type relic. For others, the requirement is: everyone present except me, forget all the identity details involving 'Miss Charlotte' in this story!"
She stood up abruptly. While the three from the Dawn Church looked at her in surprise, the "Keeper" nodded gently:
"As you wish~"
The long table turned into a phantom and disappeared, leaving only an ivory die in Miss Belindell's hand. The main body of 【Dice Story Collection】 disappeared into the air again, and the weak afternoon sunlight appeared again, illuminating everyone on the clock tower terrace at this moment.
"Lady Amethyst, what are you going to do?"
Mr. York O'Connor, the Nine-Ring, instinctively blocked in front of the two from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 before his companions behind him could react. But the witch's hand had already reached out toward them, and a transparent net formed in the air:
"Of course it is to keep secrets. 【Dice Story Collection】 has disappeared again, but no one can guarantee whether they have really forgotten those memories. Mr. O'Connor, it is your honor to be able to sit with me and play games, why ask for that information?"
Although they were still in a cooperative relationship just now, Mr. O'Connor still chose to counter this unknown control-type strange technique. The witch frowned slightly, not wanting to fight at such a close distance with the man, so her two maids consciously stepped forward to solve this trouble for their master.
At this moment, under the dim sky of Moon Bay City, a silver flash cut through the sky and entered the tower instantly.
Even the Eleven-Ring Great Witch could not react to what happened again. After turning around, she saw the arrow turning into light chips piercing the chest of the man from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】, and the star-like silver fragments disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She reached out again to grab the woman who was bleeding from seven orifices, but the other party suddenly raised her head. While her eyes were filled with despair, she used her last strength to raise her right hand:
"Light Technique!"
"Quick, dodge!"
In the panic, I don't know who was shouting. Everyone on the clock tower terrace instinctively wanted to retreat at this moment. And the Great Witch of Fate, who was closest to the woman, although she also wanted to retreat after foreseeing the death coming truly, it was too late at this time.
A faint white light appeared on the fingertips of the dying woman, and then the light erupted instantly like the sun. At this moment, in Bella Belindell's view, time seemed to have become slow.
She could clearly see the expansion-explosion trajectory of that light, and could see the hair floating in front of her eyes because of her sudden retreat action.
The golden hair touched the white light, disappearing into the light as if melting, or rather becoming a part of that light. Then the light approached her face, and just at the moment when the light was about to touch the tip of her nose, the brilliant silver light arrow struck again.
The light arrow entered the light without any obstruction, piercing the head of the dying woman. Due to the death of the caster, the unknown deadly light disappeared immediately. On the clock tower terrace that returned to normal, the witch gasped for breath and took two more steps back before stopping. Her head was dizzy for several seconds before she realized what had just happened:
"What kind of light is that, damn lunatic."
She rarely said dirty words in her heart. While her heart was beating fast, she grabbed the hands of her two maids, letting the three figures created by the illusion jump off the clock tower, but in fact they left from the stairs together... Bella Belindell was one of the few Eleven-Ring Great Witches who could not fly.
"Wait a moment, Lady Amethyst!"
But at least the illusion attainment of this Great Witch of Fate was still quite good. When Mr. York O'Connor, who was also frightened, walked quickly to the edge of the terrace and looked down, he naturally could not see the lady and the two maids just now.
"How should I write this report? That light technique just now... I felt like I was going to melt into the light."
The two companions behind him showed strange expressions, grabbing their heads to prevent the loss of memory. And Mr. O'Connor stood in front of the railing, looking into the distance. Under the dim sky light, he could not see the figure of the Shushi who shot two silver light arrows just now:
"This arrow wouldn't be shot by Miss Charlotte... So, that's why she had to check the information at a high place, to facilitate attacking the people on this clock tower immediately after the story ended? She knew... strange, what am I saying?"
While pondering, most of the content about "Dice Story Collection" faded from his memory like the seawater at low tide. Although the content of the overall structure of the story remained on the beach called "memory," the details could no longer be remembered clearly. Only remembering that the lady who won seemed to have amazing charm and good luck, which was very similar to the Tobesk winner in the data.
But the deadly white light just now was still clearly remembered by him. That light still made him a bit lost.
York O'Connor held the railing of the terrace, looking at the city illuminated by the sky light piercing through the clouds in the afternoon. Looking at the buildings of different heights and scales, looking at the carriages and pedestrians the size of ants, and the black smoke drifting toward the sky in the distance.
This scene was simply a magnificent view, but unfortunately only a few people could see it. Although the city was so prosperous, the sky light here was always dim. For some reason, he suddenly felt that maybe this city really needed more light.
Forty minutes later, when a private carriage without identity and family crest arrived low-key at the street block where the Moon Bay City Police Department was located, the figure of that "Miss Charlotte" could no longer be found here.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley where a "homicide case" had occurred not long ago. The beautiful blonde lady entered the alley to check in person. But at this time, the corpse that should have existed was no longer in this ordinary alley, and there was no one waiting for them.
She frowned slightly, took out the pendulum pendant made of amethyst, and after chanting, found that divination really could not find the other party:
"Worthy of being a girl with a special fate."
But the crystal pendant that was originally vertical downward still produced a deviation. Following the direction of the deviation to search, finally Bella Belindell found a note in the wall crack.
So the witch boarded the carriage and set off again, and told the new address to the maid carriage driver disguised as a man. The carriage started slowly. The personal maid Miss Matilda looked at her master's high-spirited appearance, so she asked softly:
"Miss, that Miss Charlotte..."
"Yes, she left me information, I am going to see her now. A girl with amazing charm, amazing strength, and even mastered the time stop spell, I am really curious."
The lip-red birthmark on her brow seemed to become more flushed because of excitement, but the maid still worried:
"That is after all Miss Benis's follower, you..."
Following Bella Belindell for many years, she naturally could see the thoughts of this countess.
"I didn't think about snatching other people's followers, but seeing is always good. Is there any problem with my current attire? Should I go change a set of clothes first?"
She asked her maid again, and after getting the answer of "no problem," she thought in her heart about how to speak later. Although she was an Eleven-Ring Great Witch, facing that girl who clearly knew a lot but didn't know what she looked like, she still felt a bit uneasy:
"However, butterfly, and relic..."
Thinking of this matter again, in excitement and uneasiness, even more fear psychology appeared. But this fear made her more yearning and curious about that "Miss Charlotte" she had never met:
"Vanessa, I really won't do anything."
The carriage then passed through the prosperous and lively city area of Moon Bay City near evening, and finally arrived at Herring Street by the Taton River. Not far downstream, it was the Moon Bay Bridge that was still in the process of construction.
"Miss, are you sure this is the address?"
The maid's voice came from the front, with quite puzzled and even some terrified emotions.
"Yes, opposite No. 18 Herring Street, above the river wharf, in front of the railing with red advertisement paper pasted under the gas street lamp."
Miss Belindell said, so the carriage stopped by the street along the river, and the pedestrians on the road bypassed the side of the carriage very consciously. The witch said well on the carriage, letting her two maids wait by the carriage and not approach, then she walked off the carriage first.
The carriage cleverly blocked the back of that "Charlotte" girl who was waiting for them, making the pedestrians on Herring Street unable to see what happened next. And when the blonde Great Witch brought excitement and uneasiness to look for that "Charm 96 points" girl, what she saw was the back of a man standing in front of the railing by the river in the sunset, looking at the river scenery with one hand supporting the railing.
"Hmm?"
Back to the carriage, facing the riverside and the sunset, tilting her head slightly, the evening wind made the hair on her ears sway, her beautiful brows frowned, and her golden pupils were filled with some doubts:
"Wrong address? Wait, this man..."
The golden pupils widened instantly, and she clearly did not feel the witch's curse being triggered. The uneasiness and excitement just now turned into horror and doubt in an instant, followed by astonishment and uneasiness.
She was stunned for a moment, and out of caution, did not dare to continue moving forward, but carefully used the pendulum again. After confirming that it was ineffective, she took out divination cards while standing between the carriage and that "man," followed by coins, and finally the six-sided ivory die just obtained.
Tossing the die for the first time, seeing the points were 6, but before she could be puzzled, the die in her palm actually jumped to 5, then jumped to 1, and finally became 4.
"What is the situation?"
She became more and more unable to figure out the situation, and in front of Xia De, whom she could not see, the sunset illuminated Xia De's face. The foreigner was looking at the river surface reflecting the sunset and having sparkling waves, while using his hand to continuously flip the 【Fate's Twenty-Sided Die】. Similar relics would have special characteristics of mutual devouring and mutual interference, and the powerful side could always interfere with the weak side.
