Until the end, Qiu Xuan never heard the name of "that adult" from the mouth of the assassin named Nadya.

The information that can be obtained so far is that Nadja is a subordinate of Limbog, but this attack on Jimma was not instigated by Limbog, but Nadja herself did it because of personal vendettas.

And Penny, who was installed in the Gemma Mansion by another "adult" whose name is not yet known? There may be other possibilities, but it's almost clear that the chief lady-in-waiting who was with Gemma wasn't entirely loyal to it.

Nadja and Penny had apparently had a relationship, having known each other before. But because they took a different path after that, they went their separate ways.

Qiu Hyun rushed back before Penny found out, in the detached house that was built outside the house for them to rest, and by the time she returned, the redhead was gone, probably continuing to carry on the unfinished deal.

When she went back, one of the familiar members looked up at her, then hesitated for a moment, but still hesitated, "You just ...... What did you do? ”

Qiu Xuan looked back at him and said calmly: "Go to the toilet." ”

Member: "...... Oh. ”

Except for the man, the rest of the "circus" looked like they were ignoring each other. Qiu Xuan was sitting on the bed reserved for herself, counting something, when she saw that after a while, the member sat down hesitantly, and hesitated: "Then you know...... What happened to Ellie at the end? ”

Ellie is the pompously dressed Miss Turkey.

"I don't know." Qiu Xuan can only say that. The place where the people executed Miss Turkey was right next to the dungeon, and if she had said she had seen Ellie beheaded, the person would have guessed that she might have followed Petunia all the way to the dungeon. Although I am not sure of his position, it is better to have more than one thing.

"Okay." After asking two questions to no avail, the member did not dwell on anything more, and sat back down with obvious loss on his face.

Qiu Xuan probably packed up his things for a moment, stood up and walked directly outside the range of Jima's mansion.

This time she didn't go out.

"Please come back to the designated area." Two men in heavy knight's armor stopped her at the gate with long swords in their hands, and although they didn't show it on their faces, she had no doubt that if she insisted on breaking out at this moment, these people would dare to do it directly.

After thinking about it, Qiu Xuan still retreated, and asked relatively friendly: "Did something happen?" ”

"Someone stole food." One of the knights said succinctly, "We have been informed that you are also one of the people who were in the restaurant before, so now please return to the designated area of the residence immediately, and the above will investigate." ”

It was only about twenty minutes later. And the redhead said before that the Jima family would count the total number based on food residues, which is also true.

As she was thinking this, she saw the redhead hurrying back outside.

"I'm really convinced, this Jima has been carried to rescue, why is this broken thing lit up again in less than half an hour! I'm really ......" She began to complain when she saw Qiu Xuan, and then witnessed the two knights guarding the door automatically silence themselves, and walked into the mansion in silence.

"What's going on?"

"The kitchen really counts the amount of food, and they see that there is less food."

"?" Red found that he was also full of surprise, "We always thought it was just a rumor made up to intimidate everyone. After all, usually those attendants of the Jima family always keep an eye on you like a thief, and the 'rules' monitor everyone, so if it weren't for the chaos that happened today, under normal circumstances, there would be no chance to take food from Jima's table. ”

"Actually, I'm wondering, too." Qiu Xuan followed her all the way to the location of the residence, and said, "At that time, there were dozens of people in the restaurant, so no one would admit it if you asked for questioning." What's the point of this link? ”

"Who knows. But I'm still hungry, and I've already negotiated a price with a merchant, but I didn't know before I was called back in a hurry. ”

When they reached the dining hall of the residence, they found that the surrounding corridor was already surrounded by a circle of heavily armed knights and security guards, while the other attendants and all the circus members were all standing in the dining room.

"Someone stole food from the breakfast he prepared for Lady Jimma this morning, just now!"

A burly woman stood on the edge of the main seat, holding a bloodstained kitchen knife in her right hand, as if she had just come down from the slaughterhouse.

"Outrageous behavior! Despicable thieves! Cheap maggots! She waved the kitchen knife with her right hand with teeth and claws, and her expression was twisted and angry, as if someone had stolen her own child. Mistress Jimma has been kind enough to provide a place for you untouchables who should have been screened out, and even a place to live and a chance to survive! As a result, you maggots shamelessly ate the food for Lord Jima! If you want me to say, you should all be screened out of the New World, and you should all be exiled to Othello! ”

Her tone and words were very harsh, and the waving kitchen knife in her hand made the whole person look like a ghost.

Normally, all the attendants who were insulted by her should have endured her humiliation in the end, or forcibly enduring the panic to escape. It's just that now, Qiu Xuan looked at the reactions of most of the people present at the moment, and only felt amazing.

Not a single one of them had a look of horror and humiliation on their faces—not even the few soft and weak maids who had seen Qiu Xuan had seen with their own eyes, who were frightened by a few spiders and wept—and they looked at the woman in the center with expressionless expressions, as if they were birds standing on the branches that had watched the baboons and monkeys fight before.

Even before, when Jimma suddenly went crazy and rushed up to beat Miss Turkey, if you think about it carefully, you will find that these people are also watching the play indifferently, as if the fire does not burn on them, they are all right.

"I'm giving you untouchables a chance to admit it now!" The burly woman with a kitchen knife slashed the tip of the knife over the faces of the crowd one by one. "I took the initiative to stand up and admit who stole the food, otherwise when I was caught in the end, I would make that person's life worse than death!"

The crowd seemed to fluctuate a little, but the fluctuation did not look like they were completely scared, but there was a kind of ...... Inexplicable excitement.

Qiu Xuan suddenly thought of a sentence-

"They treat each other like fools."

The "crowd" watching from below watched the performance on stage with a sense of superiority, as if they were enjoying a clown circus. And the "clown" standing in the stands pretended to be crazy and stupid, laughing and laughing at the audience below.

"Weird." The red-haired lips opened and closed in imperceptible directions to speak to her, and then closed them the moment the woman's eyes swept over, only this time it seemed as if they were being targeted.

"Is that you?" The woman suddenly rushed over with a kitchen knife in hand, and the crowd along the way retreated, exposing the red hair to the view. "Did you bastard steal Jima-sama's food?!"

"Tsk, who are you scolding, ......" The redhead squinted his eyes, finally held back his anger, and said bluntly: "It's not me, I didn't eat." ”

"How do you prove it!"

"How else can this be proven, auntie?" The redhead sneered, "If you say you haven't eaten, you haven't eaten, do you want me to open my stomach to show you if I ate or not?" ”

Qiu Xuan frowned suddenly.

The burly woman's figure paused for a moment, and then she tugged at her cheek and let out a bloody laugh. "Show me, let me see if you're lying."

Qiu Xuan pulled the red hair standing in place, and almost in the next moment, the bloodstained kitchen knife slashed through his waist, and finally swung it into the air.

"It's you, and you! You two pariahs, you are the ones who stole the food of Master Gema! ”

It seemed that the sudden revolt aroused the woman's anger, and she blushed and slashed at the two with a kitchen knife. Qiu Xuanzi's mother knife turned around, and her backhand was against the knife surface.

"And what about your 'proof'?" Her tone was quite steady, "As long as you show proof that we ate it, I will accept your hands-on behavior." ”

"I said it's you, it's you!" The woman didn't pay any attention to her words, and carried a kitchen knife to slash at her. "You garbage should be sent where it belongs! The new world can't accommodate so many people, and we don't need to filter out new people to join! ”

Bang. Qiu Xuan kicked the redhead out of the opponent's attack range with one kick, and completely let go of her hand to meet the woman's frantic attack.

"And how do you know?" From beginning to end, her tone did not fluctuate much, and through the two layers of snow-white knife face, Qiu Xuan's gaze met the other fat face, and said, "How can you be sure that you yourself are the ones who belong to that part of the 'saved'?" ”

"What if there is no such thing as a 'saved human'?"

"You're lying, you're lying!!" The woman's expression on her face was almost mad at this moment, she brandished a kitchen knife and yelled with her mouth open, completely ignoring her physical strength and the overall situation. "I am the saved human being! I will live until I see the new world coming! You're the 'killed' part, you give me death!" ”

The "birds" who stood on the branches and watched the bustle still watched their fight with an inexplicable feeling, until the door frame made a loud noise, and the familiar footsteps came from outside.

"What are you doing?"

Penny, who had just received the news and came from the dungeon, walked in with a cold face, Qiu Xuan's expression was so strong that her calves bounced back and a long sword grazed her body and poked at the position where she had just stood. At this moment, the woman saw her jumping away and chasing after her with a hideous face brandishing a kitchen knife, but in the next second, the long sword pierced her chest.

Petunia drew her sword and handed it back to a knight standing by the side, and she walked to the main seat and sat down unabashedly.

It stands to reason that only Gemma is qualified to sit in that position, but she is now sitting in front of a kind of attendant, and no one dares to say anything.

"What the hell is going on here?"

The woman's burly figure fell to the ground with a bang, and Kaya leaned over to explain a few words, and Petunia sneered, as if she had a look of impatience on her face.

"It's a little bit of a trivial matter to yell here, who's the 'circus'......" she sarcastically said a few words, then beckoned everyone present to identify each other. Tell yourselves, when you see someone stealing food, and those who are pointed out stay, and those who don't point out get out of here. ”

This method is even more unreliable than the previous one.

Qiu Xuan withdrew his knife and walked in the crowd, not unexpectedly seeing that the crowd did not hesitate for too long, and pointed to the candidate he hated the most. The face of the person who was pointed at by others was full of indifference, and his finger pointed back in the same direction.

"It's really speechless enough, isn't this just taking the opportunity to take revenge?" The redhead snorted, "No one can get out of this door like this." ”

Sure enough, within a few minutes, this question was raised by a member of a circus. The person who spoke was the man who asked Miss Qiu Xuan where Miss Turkey had gone, he stepped forward and faced Penny directly, and said loudly: "But this is not fair at all, everyone may not have seen with their own eyes who ate the food, but because they don't like it, they will blindly identify each other!" ”

Qiu Xuan was squinting at a man in a waiter's suit in the so-called "blind identification" crowd, with a bit of cookie crumbs on his collar and a honey sauce, which was one of the plates of food that Jima had eaten this morning.

She quietly leaned over to Kaya and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what the food was missing in the morning?" ”

Kaya frowned at her, and finally sighed and said, "Three cups of corn juice, five roasted sausages, seven fruit tartare pies, two spoonfuls of jam, three grapes, five shrimp ......"

Later, after catching a glimpse of similar food scraps from several attendants, Qiu Xuan finally determined that the people who took advantage of the chaos to eat this morning were not just her and the red hair.

At least 80 percent of those present took advantage of the chaos to eat.

It's not obvious.

Qiu Xuan quietly retreated again, pushing the red hair that was still stunned, "Refer to me." ”

"Huh? Are you sick? The redhead looked inexplicable.

Qiu Xuan decisively stretched out a finger and pointed at the red hair.

Redhead: "Grass? ”

She immediately stretched out her hand and pointed back at Qiu Xuan, and asked quietly, "What kind of moth do you want to fix?" ”

"These people are habitual offenders." Qiu Xuan raised her chin slightly towards the crowd of expressionless fingers, "It's definitely not the first time they've done this kind of thing, now that they are sure to identify each other, it means that they know in their hearts that there will definitely be no serious consequences." ”
