Chapter 443 True Lies

As the surrounding scenes began to disappear, Chen Ke's vision gradually blurred. He closed his eyes, opened them again, and found himself squatting on the wooden floor.

"Hoo, hoo..." He panted and looked around vigilantly. He found that Baron Mox, who had changed his clothes, was looking at the bed in surprise, and Maria had just put the saber back into the scabbard.

Chen Ke stood up with the help of the bed and saw that Ms. Catherine, who was lying on the bed, had her abdomen exploded, and blood and intestines were sprayed all over the bed sheet.

"Fuck... dead?" Chen Ke looked at Maria with a look like a husky.

Maria sighed softly, and Baron Mox was filled with grief and anger.

"You... what did you do? You killed my wife?" Mox came over and picked up Chen Ke's collar.

In fact, Mox could not touch the holy object. The collar he was holding was the collar of the ordinary clothes Chen Ke was wearing. In other words, if he summoned the holy object naked, there would be no collar to hold.

"Mr. Mox, please calm down! I did what I should do." Chen Ke said.

"Why did you kill him?! Huh?!" Mox said angrily.

"You probably forgot how you came back." Chen Ke said calmly.

Baron Mox looked into Chen Ke's eyes, his anger slowly subsided, and sadness prevailed.

"Oh... my Catherine..." He let go of Chen Ke and knelt in front of the bed and whispered.

"I'm afraid he is right, Baron Mox, he did what he could, but Ms. Catherine transfused too much blood..." Maria said lightly.

"I'm sorry, sir... It was because you killed me there that I was able to return to reality... I was too excited just now." Mox sighed.

"Your wife has a great figure." Chen Ke thought secretly.

Then he said to Mox: "My condolences."

He walked to Catherine and gently took off the necklace on her neck. The five blue holy diamonds returned to the original owner, although for Chen Ke, this thing would never be used in his life.

After returning to the City of Opportunities, Chen Ke made up his mind to find Pihom to sell it.

"Our work is done, Mr. Mox. I hope you can keep your mouth shut about everything you've been through and what happened to Mrs. Catherine." Maria said.

"What? You still expect me to keep my mouth shut after all these things happened? I'll practice with the chief of the police station tomorrow, and then go to William with them!" Baron Mox looked at Maria, puzzled and angry.

"We will deal with the relevant matters. You just need to stay at home and keep silent about something." Maria shook her head and said.

"Impossible! William killed my Catherine! I must!"

Before Mox finished speaking, his head flew out like a football, hitting the wardrobe next to him, making a bang, and then rolled on the floor for several rounds and stopped at Chen Ke's feet.

"Well... did you slip just now or did you do it on purpose?" Chen Ke looked at Maria, who threw the blood on the blade on the floor and slowly put it back into the sheath.

"The responsibility of the secret keeper is to protect secrets, not to protect the people." Maria looked at Chen Ke.

"It doesn't matter. I'm leaving. You won't stop me, right?" Chen Ke said.

"Did you forget something, Mr. Ludwig?" Maria stared at Chen Ke, her eyes like two lights.

Chen Ke was silent for two seconds, and remembered Maria's request before. She wanted to know the last words left by Florence after her death.

"What did he say, Mr. Ludwig? Can you tell me now?" Maria said, while gently stroking the handle of the saber with five fingers, pressing the thumb on it and dragging four fingers on the bottom. From the bottom to the top, and then from the top to the bottom.

"Of course, Ms. Maria." Chen Ke nodded and smiled.

Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly!

"His meaning couldn't be more obvious." Chen Ke smiled faintly.

Maria listened quietly, her expression very serious.

Make up one! Make up one! Make up one! Make up one! Make up one!

"Even an outsider like me..." Chen Ke raised the corner of his mouth slightly, put his hands on his waist, and shook his head.

Maria opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to spit out the tip of her tongue, and a blush appeared on her white and frosty cheeks.

Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly! Think quickly!

"He said..." Chen Ke

Maria stared at Chen Ke, panting rapidly, her body trembling slightly, and her feet unconsciously turned into an inward-facing eight.

"Please let Maria forget me." Chen Ke said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ke stared at Maria, his muscles tensed, and his right hand was ready.

Maria was silent for a while, and her emotions could not be seen from her expression, but Chen Ke still saw her disappointment from her posture and small movements. The right hand that was originally on the handle of the saber seemed to be hiding her mood, and tightened the handle.

"Ms. Maria?" Chen Ke asked tentatively.

"I know... Mr. Ludwig, you go. The keeper will handle this." Maria shook her head and looked out the window.

Chen Ke bowed slightly, stepped over Baron Mox's head, and retreated from the door behind him.

"Are you leaving? How is Baron Mox?" The security guard outside the door saw Chen Ke coming out and asked hurriedly.

"Don't go in." Chen Ke pretended to be mysterious and whispered.

The security guard nodded, said nothing, and let Chen Ke go. Seeing that this security guard was so sensible, he should be one of the few senior officials who knew the existence of the Secret Keeper Organization.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Ke. It's a pity that not all the holy diamonds were found, but at least it's a good start...

In the alley across the street, Chen Ke found Jacob. He returned to his normal clothes, with ten holy diamonds in his pocket. He put them in his hands to cushion them, and they were still a bit heavy.

"You've been in there for a long time... I thought you died in there..." Jacob sat on the steps in the corner, playing with his revolver in his hand.

"There were some accidents, Jacob, but I got it done." Chen Ke said.

"Did you find your things?" Jacob asked.

"Unfortunately, only part of it was found... Baron Mox gave the rest to a man named Edward." Chen Ke said.

"Edward... As Baron Mox's identity, he may know four Edwards... Have you asked him?" Jacob asked again.

"I really want to ask... But something went wrong, he died." Chen Ke shook his head.

Maria acted too quickly, without any signs. He really treated the Keeper as an organization like the Administration. However, it seemed that the Keeper did not care about the casualties of ordinary people at all, and would even kill people to keep the secrets.

"I roughly understand what you mean... but I don't recommend continuing to make trouble tonight, Chen Ke. After 2 a.m., even the curfew patrol will be withdrawn, and the whole city will have to close its doors at that time." Jacob took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

Chen Ke looked at Jacob, not understanding what the meaning of after 2 o'clock was.

"After 2 o'clock until dawn, it is the hunters' time. We should not disturb them." Jacob said.

He stood up, patted Chen Ke, and motioned him to follow.

"Where are we going?" Chen Ke asked.

"I guess you have nowhere to stay. I'll take you to a place where you can sleep safely for a night." Jacob said.
