Miss "The Fortune Teller" was very surprised, and the reason for her surprise was simple:

"Why are there two Louise?"

However, when she noticed the "Faceling" ring on the right hand of the "Louise" in front of her, she remembered what Louise had said to herself:

"Sophia will be back soon."

Catelyn quickly decided that the newly returned "Louise" was a maid pretending, but she didn't know why she was doing it...... Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head and looked in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor, but she didn't see the figure she expected.

And the man who had the same action as the "soothsayer" lady also accompanied "Louise" back, no, it should be said that it was an old man.

Dean Russell, who is Rebecca's grandfather.

He also looked up and glanced at the third floor, which seemed to be empty, as if he was just smiling inexplicably, and then looked at a calm-faced girl a few steps away with a smile:

"Rebecca, grandpa came to see you!"

Rebecca clasped her hands to her chest and glanced at him disapprovingly, not even saying a word in response.

Russell sneered, stepped forward, flicked Rebecca's forehead, and said:

"You kid, when you see your grandfather, you don't say hello!"

"Hmph, I don't have a grandfather!" Rebecca stubbornly replied, "I'm Miss Louise's man now!" ”

Russell laughed dryly twice, and turned to look at Louise, who smiled and said:

"Miss Rebecca may be a little excited, just give her a little more time, let's go upstairs and talk first."

"That's a good idea." Russell gave a thumbs up, and then walked upstairs without any guidance.

Katrin was a little nervous when she saw this, wouldn't she be revealing if she went upstairs...... She was about to open her mouth to stop it, but suddenly saw "Louise" next to her show a peaceful and warm smile.

This is the smile that belongs to the maid, and the "soothsayer" lady immediately settles down and chooses Louise, who believes that in her heart she is almost "omnipotent".

The maid lady maintained the posture of "Louise", walked up the stairs step by step, and entered the familiar master bedroom on the third floor, and Louise and Russell appeared opposite each other in sight.

She gently closed the door, took off the "Faceling" ring on her right hand, restored her original appearance, breathed a deep sigh of relief, tried to maintain her composure, and explained:

"Miss, it was Dean Russell who brought me out of MI9."

Louise glanced at her, and felt that the familiar maid was back, and a smile slowly bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and said to her:

"Okay, I see, you can go talk to Katrin for a while, she's worried about you."

"Okay." Sophia hesitated for a second, but bowed down and obediently exited the room.

Russell was amazed by this and sighed:

"You maid lady, it's not easy!"

Louise was noncommittal, and said without smiling:

"Thank you for bringing Sophia back."

Russell waved his hand and said indifferently:

"You don't have to say this to me, if you want to thank you, thank the audience."

How come there is an "audience" everywhere...... Louise was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively:

"I don't quite understand?"

"Hey, don't pretend!" Dean Russell raised his right hand, nodded mischievously twice, and said:

"Soon, you'll be one of us."

You, one of them...... Louise was startled and said, "You are a member of the 'Dusk Hermit Society'?" ”

"I thought you found out about that?" Russell calmly admitted this, then sat down on the couch generously, and invited:

"You sit down, you're welcome."

Louise didn't care who it was, because a picture suddenly appeared in her mind at this time, it was at the ball hosted by Duke Negan, she met Dean Russell for the first time, and the latter said something very strange:

"In front of the 'audience', there is always a sense of restraint."

This is Russell's description of Audrey, and Louise didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, the message revealed by the word "total" does seem to imply something.

Louise's deep gaze fell on Russell's face, and the rather elderly Mr. Dean maintained a relaxed and casual expression, which was also his usual character.

"So, in addition to escorting Sophia, are you here to talk to me about this?" Louise slowly sat down on the sofa opposite her and asked in a calm tone.

The corners of Russell's mouth rose at the same time, and he denied:

"No, it's a given that you've joined the Dusk Hermit', and someone will invite you to the next party...... Well, the time shouldn't be too far away. ”

"I just wanted to see what kind of magic you have?"

Louise was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Ah, you should know." Russell leaned back and casually explained:

"Although you killed Duke Negan, with your sequence and social status, you are not enough to join our organization, but you have been recognized by most people."

It's as if you have a high level of rank and status...... Well, "craftsmen" are originally a scarce resource, and he is also the director of the Beckland Research Institute, so it seems that his status is quite high, otherwise he can't bring Sophia out of MI9 so simply......

Louise hesitated, withdrew the words that had been put to her lips and wanted to refute, and asked instead:

"I was recognized by most people...... What does this mean? ”

Russell habitually said, "You know, we're a very democratic organization. ”

I do not know...... Louise replied inwardly, silently scoffing at this:

"Democracy, will the "audience" be democratic? No kidding! Half of the reason I'm so busy today is because of the democratic 'audience' arrangement. ”

Meanwhile, Russell's words continued, saying:

"Whenever someone is ready to join the organization, everyone votes on it, and only with the approval of the majority can they be allowed to join."

"Originally, you were just a 'bullet' that killed Duke Negan, but someone unexpectedly offered to invite you to join the organization, and after some discussion, you, a 'witch' who looked very 'ordinary', were very smoothly recognized by most of the members."

That's because the person who wants me to join the "Dusk Hermit Society" is your leader...... Louise sneered, and she asked, pretending to be curious:

"Who made this proposal first?"
