Chapter 524 The Girl's Determination

It could be seen that this incident had a great impact on Mary. When she came to Duanmuhuai's mansion again the next day, she still looked exhausted, but at this moment the girl's expression was quite decisive.

"I have decided, sir, no matter what, I will let Charlie wake up."

"So what you're saying is that you're not going to give up? Obviously Charlie has already written it in the letter. This is her choice. As a friend, shouldn't you respect her choice?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes and stared at Mary, who shook her head vigorously.

"Because we are good friends, I will not let her leave so easily. I must bring her back...because this is our agreement. We have agreed that no matter what happens to Charlie, I will always bring her back." I will definitely bring her back!”

Well, that's a lot of courage.

Hearing Mary's answer, Duanmuhuai nodded. Then he stared at Mary and suddenly asked coldly.

"By the way, do you really have no idea at all about the reason why Charlie did this?"

"Why?"

Hearing this, Mary was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head in confusion.

"Not at all. We have been together all the time. I can't imagine anything that would make Charlie become like this..."

To be honest, Mary is probably straight, but it’s hard to say for the one named Charlie.

Duanmuhuai now particularly wants to recommend a set of anime to Mary, called "Kannazuki's..."

Well, I understand everything.

But before that, he still had something to say.

"Really? But I have to remind you. You may have forgotten, but the people who participated in that seminar all had weird monsters. Moreover, they even went around killing people late at night, sacrificing them in an attempt to open the door. The Tartar Gate...Since Dr. Capek believes that Miss Charlotte has reached the Tartar Gate, then...you should understand what I mean."

Upon hearing this, Mary's expression suddenly became extremely stiff, while Duanmuhuai stared at her and spoke word by word.

"Are you going to bet on the odds? On the odds that your best friend isn't a murderer?"

"……………………"

At this moment, Mary's hands and feet suddenly felt cold. Only then did she remember that, indeed, according to the documents she saw, those people needed to sacrifice to open the Tartar Gate. Now that Charlie had entered the Tartar Gate , so does it mean that she was also responsible for those legendary strange murders in the foggy city before?

Indeed, if you think about it carefully, on the night when Charlie fell into a coma, didn't she want to tell herself about the strange murders from the beginning?

But later she said it was a joke and passed it off.

Now it looks like...could it really be her doing it?

That Charlie, who is always gentle and calm, but sometimes a little childish... can kill people?

Mary didn't believe it, but she didn't want to believe it? Still don’t want to believe it? Or maybe you can’t believe it?

Mary herself couldn't tell.

She lowered her head and held her skirt tightly with both hands. At this moment, Mary felt a chill all over her body. As Duanmu Huai said, does she want to bet on this possibility? Charlie didn't kill anyone. Did she reach the Tartar Gate through other methods?

No………

Mary shook her head, then strengthened her belief.

She believed in Xia Li, Xia Li would not do such a cruel thing! Sacrifice the lives of innocent people to achieve your own wishes, this is not Charlie's character! He was her childhood sweetheart. The two grew up together and were very close. He knew very well what kind of person Charlie was.

She would never do such a thing!

"I won't bet."

Mary raised her head, looked at Duanmuhuai, and spoke word by word.

"Because I know that Charlie is not such a person, and she will never do such a thing!"

"...Well, I hope you're right."

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, but looking at his appearance, Mary couldn't help but become nervous.

"Sir, what would you do if you met these people?"

"Kill them of course."

Duanmu Huai gave the answer calmly.

"This group of people use witchcraft to work with demons and harm innocent people. They are like heretics. As a judge, I will naturally kill every one I see."

"Judge?"

"Yes, I am an investigator, but I am also the judge of the Tribunal. Investigator is my hobby, and being a judge is my profession... Do you have any questions?"

"………………"

Mary hesitated and shook her head. I have to say that when Duanmu Huai said he wanted to kill someone just now, his murderous tone really scared her. But Mary didn't dare to say that Duanmu Huai was wrong. No matter what these people wanted to do, killing so many people was a bad thing in itself and they would naturally be punished. It's just that... for a delicate young lady, killing is still too far away for her.

"Very good. Since there's nothing else to do, let Lorena take you to exercise."

"Why?!"

Hearing this, Mary was so frightened that she almost jumped up. Then she remembered that she had not exercised today. Before she could say anything, Lorena came to Mary's side with a smile on her face and grabbed her hand.

"Don't worry, Miss Mary! I have created a suitable exercise method for you, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

"Wait, wait a minute, I..."

"Exercise requires perseverance, go ahead."

Watching Mary being dragged away by Lorena, Duanmu Huai also laughed and didn't say much. Lorena only had this hobby, and there were not many girls in the courtroom who could cooperate with her. Now that she finally found one, she would naturally not let Mary run away easily.

"Meow meow meow."

Mary was dragged away by Lorena, and Duanmu Huai also lay on the sofa. At this time, the black cat and the little white rabbit also came out of his clothes pocket and ran around on Duanmu Huai's body. Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, stroking the rabbit and the black cat while thinking.

At present, the matter is very clear. Of course, there are still some unclear parts of the whole matter, such as who the seven people in the Capek Research Society are. At present, Duanmu Huai knows from Capek's information that only he and the woman named Maria Bell are left. Later, Maria Bell died, and there were only four people left in the Capek Research Society. At this time, Charlotte joined the Capek Research Society and continued to study Charnos and the Gate of Tartar. She came from behind and became the first person to reach the Gate of Tartar.

What is the Gate of Tartar, Charnos?

Duanmu Huai recalled it carefully, but he didn't know much. The Gate of Tartar is the gate of hell controlled by the goddess of the underworld Hecate in mythology, but it is not easy to say what this door is used for. Not to mention that in this world of demons, who knows if there are a bunch of outer gods and the Old Ones hidden behind the door...

Anyway, we will know when the time comes.

While Duanmu Huai was caressing cats and rabbits, Mary started exercising again. This time, Lorena did not ask her to run five kilometers, but this series of exercises also made Mary very tired.

"Miss Lorena..."

After a round of training, Mary finally had some free time to rest, so she rested and looked at Lorena beside her. Although this lady was a little too "enthusiastic" about exercise, she was still a very kind person, so Mary didn't hate her.

"Excuse me, what exactly is the Tribunal?"

"Ah, the Tribunal is the organization of the Knight..."

As a pilgrim priest, Lorena is one of the people who has been with Duanmu Huai for the longest time. Naturally, she is very familiar with the nature of the Tribunal. When Mary asked about it, she explained it to her. Of course, Lorena didn't say those weird things, but even so, it was strange enough for Mary.

A mysterious organization that travels between stars, destroys all existences that dare to threaten humans, and even does not let go of gods?

To be honest, if Mary hadn't experienced what happened before, she would have thought this was some fairy tale.

"So..."

However, just as Mary was about to ask more about Duanmu Huai, she suddenly felt a strange chill.

She was very familiar with this feeling!

It was the same that night! It seemed like something was staring at her!

Could it be that...

Before Mary could react, she saw Duanmu Huai had appeared beside them at some point.

"Get ready to go, it's time to go."
