Chapter 42 Clues

she's not dead yet? She escaped? She still wants to help Prince Edsac take revenge? The moment he saw Triss, Klein, who was standing behind the curtains in the master bedroom, almost couldn't control his expression.

Although he had vaguely guessed based on the previous conversation, when the facts were presented before him, he still felt that this was beyond his imagination.

Even without dream divination, he could still recall part of the conversation between Triss and himself before the Great Smog incident in Backlund. At that time, she couldn't wait to get rid of the control of Prince Edesak and the black hand behind the scenes. The manipulation of her fate made her daily life full of pain.

Such a witch who was originally a man would sell her soul to the evil god in order to avenge Prince Edsaac? What kind of plot from a third-rate romance novel is this! The corner of Klein's mouth twitched. He "saw" the butler Walter throwing a bag of food to Triss, "heard" him give some instructions, and then turned and walked out of the hidden passage.

At this moment, from Klein's perspective, a figure emerged from Mr. Macht's house. Along the shadow of the street, he quickly approached the entrance of the sewer. It was Hazel who possessed the magical item of the "Thief" pathway.

I'll run into Walter... This doesn't look like the entrance to a sewer, it's clearly the main entrance of a busy market! Klein looked down, almost raised his right hand, and covered his face.

Arriving at the entrance of the sewer, Hazel watched vigilantly around for a few seconds, then moved the manhole cover and climbed down. The whole process was done in one go without any sense of stagnation.

Stepping on the slightly slippery ground, she moved forward quickly with a clear purpose along the rusted iron pipes and the slowly flowing sewage river.

Suddenly, her back felt cold, her spine felt cold, and her hairs stood on end.

Immediately afterwards, Hazel seemed to have fallen into a river that was frozen on the surface, and felt a lot of coldness quickly occupying her body.

She was horrified to see that she took the initiative to take a step in another direction, and walked straight to the wall with iron pipes, and all this had nothing to do with her will!

Fear quickly filled Hazel's mind, she finally got rid of the rigidity of her thoughts, and poured all the spirituality she could control into the necklace around her neck.

This necklace is strung with seven emerald green transparent stones, separated by the same distance from each other, surrounded by a circle of tiny diamonds, which still emit subtle fluorescence in the absolutely dark environment.

Suddenly, one of the stones lit up, and the emerald green light reflected on Hazel's beautiful face.

Her movement of leaning against the wall came to a halt, her feet awkwardly moved forward, and then retracted one after another.

At this moment, Hazel felt the coldness in her body become dull for a short time.

Without hesitation, she lit up another translucent emerald green stone with spirituality, raised her right hand, aimed at herself, and twisted her wrist violently.

At the same time, some mysterious symbols and patterns appeared in her mind, and her spirituality and vocal cords also underwent some temporary changes.

She has stolen the extraordinary ability of "Screaming Wraith"!

Hazel was about to open her mouth and make a sound recklessly, but felt that her hands lost control again, and covered her mouth fiercely, forcefully, and quickly.

Her shriek turned into a whimper that only existed in her mouth, she took light steps with her feet, and within a few strokes she came to the wall, turned into a fork, and crouched in pure darkness.

She struggled with all her strength, but it was useless, and she couldn't even activate the necklace around her neck again.

Hazel's dark brown eyes were wide open, full of fear and unwillingness, two crystal clear tears began to slowly slide down along the corners of her eyes.

At this time, Walter fumbled out of another fork, returned to the entrance of the sewer, and climbed up nimbly.

When he quietly entered Dawn Dantès' mansion at No. 160 Boklund Street, Hazel suddenly regained control of her body, and felt that terrible coldness completely disappeared.

She first raised her hands in surprise, and took a look with her night vision ability.

Then I looked around in horror, as if there were unknown and countless monsters hidden in the darkness of the sewer.

Hazel then touched the necklace in front of her with her right hand, stood up cautiously, and approached the entrance.

She ran wildly without panic, always on guard against attacks from the depths of darkness.

Finally, she returned to Böklund Street, and saw the iron-black gas lamppost, the light radiated out, illuminating the road with traces of rain.

Only then did Hazel quicken her pace and ran towards her house. Halfway through, she suddenly turned back, and nervously and flusteredly moved the manhole cover to the closed state.

After finishing all this, she followed the shadow of the street, returned to her garden, and entered the balcony of the bedroom with the help of gas and water pipes.

It wasn't until this moment that she really had extra thinking ability. She opened her eyes wide and subconsciously looked left and right, her body gradually trembling obviously.

She raised her left arm, trying to wipe her face with the clothes, but there was a pause on the way, and she took out a handkerchief from her pocket instead.

…………

Hazel still has the basic coping skills, not a pure rookie... In the sewer, Senor wearing a three-cornered hat and a dark red jacket appeared, and silently muttered to himself.

Then, under Klein's control, he disappeared again and entered the hidden fork where Triss was.

As soon as the "Wraith" approached there, Triss, who was wearing a long black dress, raised her head, outlined a weak and stubborn smile and said:

"It seems you have no malice.

"That lady is lucky."

She actually noticed about Hazel's affairs and discovered the "resentful soul"!

Senor's figure stood out instantly, he laughed and said:

"Maybe just killing her will cause bigger trouble."

Frankly speaking, he really wanted to report Triss, because he knew what evil things she had done, how she abetted the passengers and crew of the "Clover" to kill each other at sea, and how she made the Innocent lives died prematurely. However, after discovering that Triss was investigating the mystery of the death of Prince Edsaac, Klein had a new plan, which was to drive this witch to cooperate with her on this matter. Do limited cooperation.

The mystery of Prince Edesak's death is almost equal to the truth of the Great Smog incident in Backlund!

Investigating this matter must be very dangerous. Involving others will make me feel guilty, and I am afraid that they will be hurt or even die. But if Triss does it, there will be no such psychological burden. The crimes she committed have long been She should be sent to hell! The only problem is that she might just be planning her own affairs by investigating the mystery of the death of Prince Edsac, and she must be on guard against this, so as not to be used and cause disaster... Klein thought as he let Senor move forward took two steps.

Triss looked at the middle-aged man in front of her faintly, and said with a chuckle:

"Since you have malicious intentions, let's do it, Mr. Senior."

At this moment, in the puppet's senses, there are countless invisible silk threads fluttering around Triss, and she sits in the middle with a pale face and dark dress, like a bird lying on the core of the silk net. The spider in the position is full of temptations to pity and approach.

"You know me?" Secret Puppet stopped in time.

Triss responded with a dazed and confused expression:

"I have spent some unforgettable years at sea."

At that time, you were still a man... Klein sneered, then smiled and said:

"Why are you investigating the death of Prince Edsac? Didn't he commit suicide?"

Triss raised her head suddenly, with a bit of anger on her face:

"Suicide is different from suicide. Some are voluntary, while others are forced."

No way, she seems really concerned about the death of Prince Edsaac...Miss, have you forgotten that you were once a man? Have you forgotten the pain you said before? Could it be the so-called Stockholm Syndrome, where after being forced for a long time, a little kindness shown by the other party will get several times or ten times the gratitude and attachment? Well, I'm not an "audience", so I can't judge whether her performance like this is a disguise... Klein made Senior laugh and said:

"So, you think Prince Edsack was forced to commit suicide?

"You are looking for William Sykes to investigate this matter?"

The anger on Triss's face disappeared, and a somewhat poignant smile appeared:

"right.

"He was the one who forced Edsac to commit suicide, using bullets that can annihilate spirituality. However, he also obeyed other people's orders. Hey, he confessed everything in order to get the final pleasure. Hehe, I still didn't let him. He really touched me, and I showed him pictures of me before, and he died in pain and despair..."

I can't imagine what happened to William... Triss's mind is still as twisted as before... The witch who has reached the "happy" stage is really charming. Every expression and movement can attract people... However, It can be seen that Triss has restrained these things very well, and only uses them when necessary... Has she been promoted? Or because of love? While slandering, Klein asked Senior to ask:

"who is it?"

When he asked this question, Klein didn't expect to get an answer, but Triss smiled lightly and said:

"Viscount Stratford.

"The chief of the royal court guard."
