Chapter 25: Their Revenge
When we entered the room covered in blood, the nine adult men who had been in the room turned back together. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Someone is playing cards, someone is smoking a cigar, someone is reading a document.
The white smoke of cigars rises to the ceiling.
When the men saw us, they all stopped what they were doing.
"Forget it, forget it, let's comfort them first."
"Morris ......"
"Come on."
The man, known as Maurice, looked down at us and raised his hands
"Welcome, brave hares."
As he spoke, he clapped, and then everyone applauded.
That smile, smile, smile......
It's just insane.
We watched them dumbfounded.
"Where are the Allies?"
"Declare your nationality, which country's hare survived?"
"France, Italy, the United States, and Souval."
Behind the adults, in a dark corner, a voice came out, and the voice was very familiar.
It was Ned who spoke.
"Ah—he's an Englishman, and he's a hound. He's got a lot of talent. His mission is to send the hares into chaos and drive them into a corner. Another adult explained.
There was also a strange person in the room.
She was in a wheelchair, her head covered with red linen, her wrinkled skin covering half of her eyes, and she was an old woman.
In front of her lay silver, copper, and glass pots, and in her wrinkled hands held a mirror that shimmered with gold.
"A teenager is dying......"
Extremely deep voice.
The men turned back to the old woman.
"Lord Roshan!"
"His death was only the beginning of everything. The world will turn into boulders and begin to roll. ”
There was silence in the room.
Granny Roseanne yelled
"Do as prophesied! In this way, the country will become richer and stronger! ”
"Yes......"
The men bowed their heads.
I didn't know what was going on, so I just stood aside.
Prophecy ...... What the hell is going on......"
At last the old woman shook her head and announced with a smile in a hoarse voice
"This is the end of the Hare Chase, sink the box immediately! Then fatten the hare! ”
Julie ended her long monologue.
The room returned to silence.
The earthenware pipe Victoria held in her hand, a thin wisp of white smoke, curled up to the ceiling.
No one spoke. Finally Julie said in a deep voice:
“…… I never knew what was going on, so it was painful. But, Victoria, you little detective should know, right? ”
Lunas looked up and saw Julie biting her lip and staring intently at Victoria.
"As far as I can guess, this is probably a large-scale divination."
“…… Divination!? ”
Julie screamed, shaking her head
"So many people died, and the ship sank...... What's going on here? What exactly is divination? In what way? It costs a lot of money, right!? ”
"Rosene kept hares as props for divination, and he put the hounds into the herd of rabbits to use those that survived to divinate the future."
"The hare you are talking about, could it be our ......?"
Victoria jaw.
"There are a number of 'fragments of chaos' that can be used as material for this conclusion—orphans gathered from all over the world; Roshan's words had no meaning; And, it happened ten years ago in the spring. ”
"War broke out in late June 1914 when the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince was assassinated in Sarajevo. That's when government officials used soothsayers to try to decipher the future of the world. They prepared a large stage - a box called the QueenBerry - with hares representing various countries. ”
"Divination is accurate."
"...... Li"
"Arabia was drawn into that war, and the land was torn apart."
Julie cried.
Victoria, who was watching from the sidelines, showed a slightly troubled expression, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket that looked quite high-class and gently handed it to Julie.
Seeing Julie wipe away her tears, Victoria had a look of relief on her face.
Julie asks in a sob:
"They built on our actions and carried out the political operation after that, right?"
"That's right." Victoria nodded.
Julie took a deep breath and continued
"After that incident, I couldn't recover from the blow and spent a lot of time in a nursing home, in a tiny room - like you said, space that could only walk five steps."
All of us have been given a great fortune, as the phrase "fattening the hare." When I was discharged from the hospital, I used the money to build the QueenBerry and build the box. ”
"I ask you, little detective, when did you find out that I was a prisoner?"
"Determined at the time of the shooting of Morris. The first time I doubted you was when I woke up in the hall. You shout loudly that the door is locked, but that's a lie. You use this to trap your guests in their rooms and show them the intimidating blood book to tell them your purpose. ”
"I see. I know why you held the boy's hand tightly because he didn't know that I was a prisoner, and he was having a good time chatting with me, right? ”
"Meet ......"
Even though his mouth kept saying bad things about him, he refused to let go of his hand...... You're worried about him, aren't you? ”
“……”
Victoria pretended not to hear.
Lunas couldn't help but smile bitterly, this little girl is still arrogant at this time.
Gorewin stood up and said
"Enough is enough, it's time"
Julie walked out of the torture chamber with Gorewin......
On the way to escort Julie, another team of police officers approached in the corridor where the sun was shining.
"That's?" Gurewin asked
"Yes! The maid who killed Roshan appears to have been caught. ”
Julie looked up when she heard this, but she couldn't help but take a breath.
There were police escorts on both sides, walking in this direction...... She was a beautiful Arab woman. Black hair, smooth chocolate-colored skin with a healthy glow in the sun.
The two passed by――――――――
"Yes, it turns out that Rei also acted...... Revenge ...... ten years later"
Julie's hand reached for her neck and grabbed the heart-shaped necklace.
The heart-shaped pendant that has been kept since that day is also the most important thing for Lei.
This pendant was given to me by Chu Li...... Julie grabbed the chain of the pendant and pulled it off with all her might—
"Leigh!"
Hearing the call, Leigh turned around.
Julie's pendant streaks across the sky.
Leigh broke away from the policeman's hand, stretched out her arm, and borrowed the pendant.
The two looked at each other across the corridor, tears in their eyes......
