Chapter 58: The Parties to the Situation
At about nine o'clock, the drunken Earl of Levitt finished a round of entertainment at the banquet.
With slightly red cheeks and a glass of blood-red Ormill red wine, he hummed a little song to a bedroom on the third floor of the villa.
Pushing open the door, he saw the smile of the Witch of Pleasure as he wished.
"Lily, every time I see your smile, I have a heartbeat that makes me regain the vitality I had when I was twenty years old."
The Count took a sip of red wine, sat down beside Qili, and reached out to wrap his hand around her slender waist.
Qi Li lay on her side and pressed into the count's chest.
……
It was so seductive that the Count felt a raging fire burn in his heart, and his blood filled his head. Brain.
He drank the remnants of the wine in his glass, threw the fine goblet onto the carpet, and groped his hands around the witch's delicate body.
Qi Li closed her eyes, and a just right amount of blush gradually appeared on her face, which made the Count even more unstoppable.
After a long while, Qi Li suddenly pushed the earl, and said in a greasy voice:
"Lord Earl, the banquet is not over yet, so don't tease people now."
When Count Levittus came to his senses, he found that the man in his arms had become disheveled, red, and panting.
At this moment, he almost fell into it again.
He restrained the desire to be oppressed immediately with great perseverance, put the witch in his arms on the bed, and covered her with a quilt intimately.
"You rest for a while, and I'll come back to you in the evening."
The Count walked to the door, glanced back at the beauty with nostalgia, and then closed the door and left.
After he left, the soft panting in Qili's mouth disappeared immediately.
Lying on the head of the bed, she got up to arrange her clothes, her movements were calm and crisp, and even the flush on her face quickly subsided.
After tidying up, Qi Li glanced up at the wall clock on the wall.
It was a quarter of an hour before ten o'clock in the night.
……
By the time the gunshots rang out, Qi Li in the room had already finished arranging.
From her point of view, the whole room is filled with dense invisible silk threads, and the full-length mirror in the room serves as a stand-in, lying on the bed instead of her, looking lifelike.
When a scream came from the hall, she activated her stealth ability, opened the window and jumped out.
Unlike Varina's slow, cautious stealth style, Qili may be quite confident in the Witch's optical stealth abilities, and her movements are extremely fast.
Qi Li quickly made her way through the servant's passage to the kitchen and into the underground ice cellar, invisible threads spreading around, and the search progress was skyrocketing.
Suddenly, she stumbled forward, and the clothes behind her were torn.
She had just been flogged.
The means of Emilius the "weaver"? …… Hmph, it's here!
Qi Li frowned, resisted the pain, and approached a wall of ice.
Through vision, she could see that there was something full of filth and depravity hidden in the ice.
She took out a small iron badge from her fanny pack, put it on top of her left chest with a serious expression, and then reached out to "steal".
"Smack!"
A palm-sized, pure black jade-like mirror, frozen in blood, fell onto her hand.
At the same time, an invisible blade slashed through it, slicing Qi Li's body in two.
With a "click", the fallen body turned into two broken wands, and Qi Li herself reappeared three steps away, her face turning rather pale.
This is the witch's "wand stand-in"!
Obviously, the means left by the demigods are not so easy to resist, even if there is a special way to deal with it, even if the "wand double" is activated in time, Qi Li is still not lightly injured.
She pursed her lips, put away her wand that had been broken in two on the ground, and disappeared again.
……
"Ah!!h
"Dead people, dead people!"
"Ah!!h
"It's Baron Bradley who died, did anyone see the murderer?"
"Ah!!h
The calm communication of the men and the panicked screams of the women mixed together, and the atmosphere of the banquet hall began to become chaotic.
After all, without knowing who the killer is, no one can be sure that they will not be the next victim.
What's more, because the flow of gas has decreased, the lights in the hall are no longer bright.
This will make it quite convenient for the murderer to kill again!
As the guests emulate their vigilance, preventing others from approaching them and fighting for a safe space for themselves, the chaos in the hall slides firmly, faster and faster, into the abyss out of control.
"Silence!"
"Stop!"
"Obey the arrangement, the earl will guarantee your safety!"
At such a critical moment, it was the Extraordinary Guardian under Earl Levit, an "arbiter" of Sequence 9.
With his majestic voice and calm tone, he brought back the sanity of his guests.
Under his arrangement with one of the punishers, the guests moved in an orderly manner, separated by men on the left and women on one side of the hall, each keeping a short distance from each other, restoring order to the scene.
Then he ordered all the servants to gather on the other side of the hall in order to find out the truth.
……
By the time Corvo arrives at the gas leak, the flames have already been extinguished.
The "sailors" who were on patrol at the time arrived before him and used a wind-controlling charm to press the leaking gas back into the pipe, cutting off the foundation of the flames.
Corvo asked, looking around:
"Did you see anything?"
"Did you find anything unusual during the rounds?"
"I'm going to think about it," his teammate said, "You go over there and help me close the pipe valve, and the charm's power is starting to wane." ”
Corvo frowned slightly, but chose to help.
Of course, as he moves, his gaze wanders around all the time, trying to spot clues in the inconspicuous details.
When he came back from closing the valve, he heard his teammate say:
"Look here, this is a hole left by a sharp blade, there must have been a sound coming from it at that time!"
"Let me think about it...... There you have it, it's definitely time for rotation! ”
"We rotate too regularly...... That guy must have been patiently observing for a long time. ”
"Is that all?" Corvo was a little disappointed by this answer.
The teammate looked stunned and was about to nod, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said hurriedly: "Direction!" ”
"The direction of the escape!"
"The man must have fled towards the side of the flame away from the villa, covering his path with the rising flames!"
Corvo nodded, not speaking again.
I've thought of what you've said for a long time, and I've discovered the man's path...... But that didn't help me catch up with him right away.
