Chapter 142: The Beginning of the Demon Dog's Promotion
Female victim, brutal murder scene, all internal organs hollowed out......
I don't know if Adita is a street girl...... But in order to save her brother, she may have made an unspeakable choice......
The symbolism of this scene is too obvious for Louise to explain that it was an accident.
She stood in the middle of this small living room, hidden in the shadows, silently looking at the middle-aged couple who were snuggling up to each other and could not hide their grief, in front of them was the bloody scene scattered on the ground, which people couldn't bear to look at, and was speechless for a long time.
Next, she used Aditta's blood to perform a divination:
"There's a lot of power here."
The results are unmistakable.
Many details are piled up, and the truth is about to come out...... This is the tragedy caused by the "demon dog", and it may be the first one.
Louise hadn't even spoken a word to the dead maid, but Adita may have been implicated in her death.
A detail suddenly came to her mind, the "Apostle of Desire" who assassinated Duke Negan, the banker Jason Beria, had two faces...... Two faces in the truest sense of the word, because he has a human skin mask that can completely change his appearance.
Walter may just be a pseudonym for him......
Jason Beria has also cultivated a Sequence Six "Demon Dog" and is seeking promotion, is this the beginning of the ceremony?
Remember that the promotion ceremony of the "Apostle of Desire" is to kill, eat the internal organs, the minimum is to kill 13 people, the maximum is 49, the more complete the ceremony, the more promising the promotion, the interval between two killings varies from three to nine days...... Counting the time, it seems that it is exactly the point in time when the ritual begins.
So, the "Demon Dog" killed Editta...... Is this a random choice of goals? Or are you coming for yourself?

Louise didn't understand, in order to be promoted smoothly, the other party should deliberately avoid accidents, why did she kill a maid next to her?
The madness that is deep in the hearts of the "demons"?
After that, she quietly left the hut.
…………
The next day, Beckland ushered in the sunshine that had not been seen for a long time, and although it was not bright, it at least made people feel much better.
"Take out five hundred pounds of cash and give it to Aditta's parents." Louise commanded the maid.
Although these 500 pounds could not heal the pain of "the white-haired man sending the black-haired man", it was enough to make the couple's life more stable, and they would not go bankrupt and live on the streets due to accidents.
It is difficult to tell whether Aditta's death was an accident or not...... Even if she doesn't die, there will always be an innocent woman killed by the "demon dog", but the five hundred pounds will at least alleviate some of Louise's guilt......
Later, before Miss "The Fortune Teller" was ready to leave, Louise stopped her in time and explained:
"The commission to investigate Walter can be put on hold for the time being."
"Why?"
Katrin said that she was puzzled, although she hadn't received clues for the time being, but the commission had only been out for a few days, and it was normal to have no clues, why did she suddenly give up?
Because Walter is probably just a fictional code name...... Louise had been misled before, but fortunately it was not too late to wake up, and she calmed down and explained:
"The commission continues to be pending, and it doesn't have to be revoked, but there will be no results, so naturally there is no need to bother with investigating."
"In the past few days, I want you to pay attention to the recent movements of the Beria gang, the more comprehensive the better."
That gangster? Sure enough, I know if I want to destroy it in the end...... Catelyn felt that she knew Louise much more deeply, and solemnly agreed:
"I see."
"Well, go ahead." Louise nodded, and turned back to the living room.
She didn't plan to confront the "Apostle of Desire" in Sequence 5, Jason Beria, it would be too risky, not to mention that the other party also had a "Devil Dog" in Sequence 6...... However, it is precisely because of this that Jason Beria needs to escort "Demon Dog" in the crucial process of promotion to Sequence 5, and it is difficult to spare extra energy to deal with Louise......
On the contrary, Louise had plenty of time and energy to plan a response, and the Beria gang was lucky enough to be the first whetstone.
It wouldn't be challenging to just destroy a gangster, but Louise was more than that, she needed to digest the "witch" potion in the process, which required a little more thought.
…………
On Wednesday evening, Louise dressed up for a dinner hosted by the Hall family.
Obviously, the Earls of Hall had done some knowledge in advance about the lady specially invited by their precious daughter, so they were no strangers to Louise.
"At the last ball, we didn't communicate much with each other, so tonight we must listen to the story of your adventures in the Southern Continent."
"It is my pleasure, noble countess."
Louise behaved in a dignified manner, and the etiquette was in accordance with the norms, and then walked into the dinner hall.
He is worthy of being the leading banker in Rune, a member of the House of Lords trusted by the King, and a core figure of the New Party, Mr. Earl Hall.
Tonight's banquet was a solemn one, the banquet hall was brightly decorated, and the guests were all rich and noble, and Louise stood out less conspicuously in the crowd...... Of course, this is also the reason why she deliberately restrained her charm, the ghost knows how many extraordinary people there are in this hall, as a "witch", it is better to be a low-key person......
Since Audrey is not yet an adult on a social level, she does not follow her parents to greet guests at this kind of formal banquet, but chats with acquaintances easily, and at the same time enters the state of "audience" to observe, never forgetting to play the role.
Soon, she saw the familiar and expectant back, so she confessed to her friend in front of her, and turned to walk towards the table.
"Dessert should be eaten after a meal!"
Louise was holding a cute and delicate bunny cake and was about to put it in her mouth, when she turned her head to see Miss Justice standing in front of her, with a sly smile.
"Don't you think this 'rabbit' is cute?" She asked.
"Then why did you eat it?" Audrey asked, cooperatively.
Louise took a bite, swallowed the "rabbit head", and said, "It's cute, that's why it's delicious!" ”
Audrey tilted her head slightly and said with a smile:
"I like the gift you asked."
"If you like it, it's fine." Louise swallowed the remaining half of the cake in her mouth and said, "I have a better one to give you another day." ”
"I'm looking forward to it." Audrey smiled sweetly.
