Chapter 188 The Ball

A straight nose, sparse eyebrows, slightly drooping cheeks, light blue eyes... Chilingos looked at himself in the mirror, checked himself up and down several times, and confirmed that he was no different from the unconscious man.

After gesturing to the other party's habitual movements, he bent down and dragged the man on the ground aside, and stuffed him into the closet.

Then, he stretched out his right hand forward, and snapped the opponent's neck with a snap.

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping his palms, Qilingus closed the closet door.

He walked back to the full-length mirror slowly, put on a black double-breasted dress and tied a bow tie, then picked up a bottle of amber perfume, put a few drops on his wrist, and then wiped it on different parts of his body.

After combing his head in the mirror, Qilingus walked out of the room, closed his hands casually, and said to the butler waiting outside:

"Don't let anyone into my room, there are important items in it."

"Yes, Baron Gramere!" The mottled-haired butler put his hands on his chest and bowed in salute. "Your carriage and accompanying servants are waiting for you downstairs, and Duke Negan's invitation card is also there."

Chillingus maintained his baronial demeanor, nodded slightly invisibly, and accompanied by the butler, walked arrogantly towards the stairs.

Heh, a baron who is burdened with a lot of debts and is reluctant to hire even ordinary security personnel, unexpectedly maintains a butler, a valet, two attendants, two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and two laundry A maid, a coachman, a horse feeder, a gardener, a cook, a chef's assistant, for these stupid nobles, decency really trumps everything... It makes me have to waste time learning what they say The strange sound of certain words and the so-called aristocratic accent... Qilingus thought coldly and disdainfully in his heart.

…………

Backlund, Jorwood District, in a certain narrow apartment.

Hugh Dilcha sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Fors Wald who was reading a novel with the light of the window:

"It's really desperation. Qilingus has left no clues, and it's still impossible to find out what he wants to do in Backlund."

According to the predetermined plan, they reported to the police several times, and secretly sent a letter to the police station that accepted it, describing in detail the strange situation at the murder scene and the criminal suspected of Qilingus.

The response of the police department did not exceed their expectations, and they were cautious, and they were directly handed over to the "punisher" team.

After a day of deliberation, the news of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Chillingus sneaking into Backlund spread to various "law enforcement teams". Xio and Fors also left the original rented place, hid, and carried out concealment. investigation.

They don't want to be taken back to the police station to assist in the investigation. Whether it is the "Punisher", "Nighthawks", and members of the "Mechanical Heart" team, they are all hostile to Extraordinary who are not official, and regard them as potential criminals.

Therefore, Xio and Fors are not only evading Qilingos' possible pursuit, but also avoiding those "enforcers".

"If it was so easy for us to find out his purpose, Qilingus would have been buried in the cemetery long ago, and there must be lush weeds growing in front of the tombstone." Forsi replied calmly Said, "What we need is to wait patiently. As long as this intensity of investigation continues, Qilingus will inevitably make mistakes. I have to say that magical items that can change people into different looks are really enviable."

Xio hugged her knees with both hands, looked towards the window sill and said:

"I'm just worried that Qilingos will act in a short time, and then flee Backlund before everyone reacts."

"In that case, I don't know when I will be able to advance to Sequence 8, let alone Sequence 6, Sequence 5..."

She paused for a few seconds, then murmured dazedly:

"I don't even know when we can get back what belongs to our family... I haven't seen my brother for almost a year..."

Fors smiled with relief:

"When you fulfill your wish, please allow me to write your experience into a story, it must be very exciting and interesting.

"

"Well, in fact, I think that with Miss Audrey's generosity, even if the matter ends like this, she will give us a generous reward. After all, we have been busy for so long, and after all, we let Qilingus show up on his own initiative. "

"I hope so... Hey, why can't I have an adventure?" Xio randomly grabbed the gold that was up to his shoulder.

Forsi frowned slightly and said:

"In the mortal world, adventures are often accompanied by danger. I still don't know what the ravings that appear at the full moon represent, and whether it will cause any bad changes. Hehe, adventures without danger also exist, but Very, very rare, your wish is really hard to come true, unless, unless we can get the favor of orthodox gods, or the gaze of a friendly hidden existence, however, it is difficult for us to tell whether this is the disguise of evil gods and demons."

Xio straightened his back, drew a crimson moon on his chest and said:

"May the goddess bless me!"

…………

In Duke Negan's mansion located in Queens District of Backlund, a grand ball was going on.

It is divided into two parts, one is the dance hall, which is located on the ground floor, covered with gorgeous stone slabs carved with complicated patterns, and there is an excellent band belonging to the Duke in the corner, and along the stairs of the hall, it is located on the second floor. , around the cloister, the guests are holding wine glasses, standing in front of the railing, looking down at the dance below, similar to enjoying fencing activities from the stand position, from time to time a gentleman will come to the lady or wife to invite them to dance together, if you get With permission, the two sides held hands and walked down the stairs and entered the hall.

On the other side of the corridor not close to the hall, there are one door after another, and the back is basically the guest lounge.

But behind the opposite door is a corridor, with different plaster statues standing on both sides, all of which belong to the ancestors of the Negan family.

All the way to the end, you can see another part of the ball, which is also a hall, with long tables and all kinds of food and wine, and another band belonging to the Duke is playing melodious music for the guests. And relaxing music.

In this hall, guests gather in groups of three or five, or sit or stand to exchange various things. Those who wish to escape from the hustle and bustle for a short time enter the balconies attached to the hall to look at the scenery in the garden and the sky. red moon.

Audrey Hall, who skipped the opening dance, was originally standing on the second floor of the ball hall, staring blankly at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the roof and at the candles on it, but found that many people were eager to move and wanted to After coming to invite the dancer, she wisely left here and stepped into the corridor leading to the "restaurant".

It's really boring, but I have to participate... Hey, can't they just let me observe there quietly? I have to say, some people have really expressive expressions when they dance. It always reminds me of those courting animals... Audrey looked down at her toes, and took a single step in a bored manner.

At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure approaching. She hurriedly slowed down, straightened her back, and instantly transformed back into the elegant and quiet Miss Hall.

"Hello, Baron Gramir." Audrey greeted with a flawless smile and etiquette.

On the opposite side, Baron Gramir, with sparse eyebrows and light blue eyes, smiled and saluted:

"Hello, Miss Hall, you are the brightest and most dazzling jewel of the ball."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Baron Gramere walked towards the ball hall, while Audrey continued to approach the "restaurant".

After walking a few steps, she suddenly frowned, her green eyes full of doubts:

"Baron Gramere is not the same as usual..."

"In the past, when he saw a lady and wife who were higher than him and more beautiful, his eyes would move to the side, he didn't dare to look directly, and then he kept sneaking glances... But today, he looks very confident..."

"Also, the smell of his perfume is not right. When he participated in various parties before, he wore the tail note of the 'Amber' perfume. It is pure and light musk, noble without showing off. That is to say, he will Spray the perfume a few hours in advance, so that the top and middle notes can be wiped off before the banquet, but just now, the fragrance on his body is the middle note of 'amber', dense and elegant..."

Audrey's footsteps became slower and slower. As an "spectator" who had completely digested the potion, her sensitivity to details was by no means comparable to other Beyonders.

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, and her bright green eyes froze:

"Wouldn't it be Chillingus in disguise?"

"'Squirming Hunger' has the ability to change people into different appearances!"

...

The more Audrey thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was possible, and her heart suddenly rose, nervous and flustered.

"If it's 'Vice Admiral Hurricane', what does he want to do? It's a pity that Susie can't be brought to this ball, or else he can secretly observe the Baron Gramere just now... No, I have to remind Dad!" Thoughts In the midst of this, Audrey quickened her pace, entered the dining room, and found Earl Hall who was communicating with the cabinet secretary and others.

She outlined an impeccable smile, walked over, took Earl Hall's arm, and said to the others:

"Gentlemen, may I borrow Earl Hall for a few minutes?"

"Beautiful lady, this is your right." Several gentlemen responded in a friendly manner.

Audrey pulled Earl Hall to the nearest balcony, found a secluded corner, and said to middle-aged Fu's father:

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

Earl Hall originally had a doting smile on his face, but seeing his daughter's serious expression, he also became serious:

"whats the matter?"

"I met Baron Gramir just now, but he is different from before in some details. For example, the perfume smell on his body belongs to the middle note of 'amber', which used to be the tail note. For example..." Audrey said The difference I observed can be explained with sensitivity and care.

After describing what happened just now, she added after deliberation:

"I heard Viscount Greint mention that 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Chillingus has the ability to change into someone else's appearance. Isn't he in Backlund recently?"

Earl Hall listened quietly, his expression became extremely dignified.

But he soon showed a smile, comforted his slightly flustered daughter and said:

"I'll take care of it. You go to your mother and stay with her. She's in the lounge in this hall."

"Okay." Audrey nodded obediently.

On the way to the lounge, she glanced back at her father, and saw that Earl Hall was whispering something to a nobleman with a serious expression on his face.

Audrey's heart couldn't help suspending again, and she felt that she had to do something to prevent her father, mother and brother from being hurt.

Looking around, she changed direction, left the dining room, entered a corridor, and found the small prayer room of Duke Negan's house familiarly.

She pushed the door open and locked it with her backhand. Looking at the symbol of the Lord of Storms in front of her eyes, she subconsciously found a secluded and dark corner.

Audrey sat down, leaned forward, clasped her hands in a prayer position and pressed her forehead.

Then, she recited in a low voice in Hermes:

"Fools who don't belong to this era, you are the mysterious ruler above the gray mist, you are the king of yellow and black in charge of good luck."
