Chapter 59: "Beauty Saves Heroes"

Fence near the fence.

The "Wrathful People", who had "pacified" all the horses and grooms, came to join his "Sailor" teammates and escorted Corvo the "Reasoning Student" in ritual magic.

Colvo held a ceremonial silver dagger, infused with spirit, and walked in a small circle around the gas pipe that was forcing the crack open.

Invisible forces erupted from the silver knives, imbued with spirituality, colluding with the air, forming a sealed wall that separated the space from the outside world.

When the Spirit Wall was raised, Corvo retrieved the silver dagger and placed two special candles to represent the Lord of the Storm, placing ordinary candles symbolizing "me" in the middle of them and lighting them one by one.

Then, he took out his homemade "Storm Essential Oil" from his pocket and dropped a drop into each of the three candles.

Multiply!

A light mist fills the air, creating an atmosphere full of mystery.

"I pray for the power of the sky;"

"I pray for the power of the sea;"

"I pray for the blessing of the storm;"

"I pray that you will give me the strength to find the outlaws."

A gentle whirlwind appeared out of thin air inside the Spirit Wall, rendered into concrete shapes by the thin mist.

Standing in the middle of the whirlwind, Corvo felt as if a storm had risen in his head, greatly improving his already strong thinking and reasoning skills.

A crouching grass...... A fallen green leaf...... Obstacles and spaces on the transfer route...... A flash of black shadow...... The location of the gunshots...... No personal belongings were left behind......

In the brainstorming process, a large number of details and clues are quickly correlated, and the time and time coincide, interweaving more and more clear truths.

Eventually, he was given a more detailed and accurate chain of clues and a new image of the Shadow.

Unlike before, this time the dark shadow is much clearer, and there are some possible body parameters.

The most important thing is that the whirlwind brings a breath of air to Corvo -

The breath of that outlaw!

……

The banquet hall of the Earls' Court.

Guests and servants were separated from each other, and the atmosphere was quiet and serious.

Zali failed to find a chance to escape, so he had to follow the other servants back to the banquet hall, hoping to get by.

The noise of chaos outside the villa has gradually subsided, the lighting in the hall has been restored, and everyone is more reassured that the situation is clearly under control and there are no other casualties.

After the guests calmed down, they began to talk to each other in small voices.

The "arbiter" guard stood near Count Levitt and watched coldly, oblivious to these movements.

At the moment he had two things to do - to protect the Count himself and to maintain order on the scene, and the rest should be the responsibility of the substitute punishment who was notified of the reinforcements and the MI9 who arrived at the scene.

Zali looks like he is as usual, but inside he is actually quite unsettled.

He regretted killing impulsively for a while, felt very happy for a while, felt that he could not escape justice, and then fantasized about saving heroes with beauty......

……

The bridge section of "Beauty Saves Heroes" is indeed being staged, but the object is not Zali.

After leaving the underground ice cellar, Qili returned to the surface.

At this time, under the suppression of several extraordinary people in the Earl's Court, the chaos inside and outside the villa was nearing its end.

She turned around cautiously and found no trace of Varina.

"Could it be that one of them was caught? I'm still very optimistic about his ......"

Thinking that she hadn't been able to deliver the complete arrangement due to an accident, and that the arrangement she had left in the room hadn't been destroyed, Qi Li hesitated a little and took out the makeup mirror and Varina's blood beads from her fanny pack.

She stretched out her hand and wiped it, and the mirror was immediately stained with a dark color.

Then, she put the blood bead on the mirror, and saw that the blood bead moved on the mirror surface on its own, pointing out a direction.

"Over there?"

Qili maintained her invisibility, carefully avoiding several Extraordinary Guards, and chased in the direction of Varina.

……

Varina did her best.

From seven o'clock onwards, I observed secretly, arranged the plan and route in detail, and considered every detail.

Finally, when the time in his pocket watch showed that the time had reached ten o'clock, he executed the plan as fast as he could.

Shoot, shift, ignite, flee.

The whole process went as smoothly as he expected.

If you don't take into account the cost of infiltrating and destroying the gas pipes in advance, this operation, he will only have a few seconds to actually invade the Earl's Court.

A few seconds after running out of the Count's Court, Varina entered the sewer entrance that had been opened in advance, carefully restoring the manhole cover.

After entering the dark sewers, he felt much more relaxed.

Because in the sewers, he will at least have the advantage of location.

Varina carefully shifted around, trying not to leave any trailing trails, and reflected on whether there had been any slips. After a long time, he came to the conclusion that -

I've really done my best.

There was nothing more to think about, and unless a substitute entered Viscount Stout's house to search, he would be there for a whole day, and he would not leave until tomorrow night.

……

Qi Li followed the guidance of divination and ran all the way down the street, and the more she went, the more confused she became.

"Where is he going?"

"I can't catch up when I run so fast, is it being chased?"

She suppressed her doubts and followed the results of the divination all the way, and finally stopped near the garden pavilion of Viscount Stout's house.

Then, she was stunned.

The blood bead had stopped moving in the center of the mirror, indicating that she was very close to Varina.

But what about people?

She was also an excellent "assassin" in the past, and naturally did not miss the easy location to hide, but after searching the vicinity, she was unable to find Varina.

This aroused her competitive spirit.

She huffed and breathed, she had to find Varina before she was willing.

Looking around again, she finally remembered that Varina might be hiding in the underground space.

After a while, Qili entered the underground cellar of Viscount Stout's house through the servant's passage, and she smiled triumphantly as she looked at the beads of blood that returned to the center of the mirror.

See if I don't find you!

One lap, two laps......

Qili moved quickly and quickly rummaged through the cellar five times, but failed to find Varina.

……

After moving from the sewers to Berklund Street, Varina went as fast as he could into Viscount Stout's house and hid in the underground cellar.

It was late at night, and when there was no banquet, most of the servants had already returned to the servants' room to rest, so the underground cellar was very quiet.

Varina was worried that his spirit would not be enough, so after making sure that there was no one, he even retreated from his gray vision, and squatted quietly in a corner, trying his best to maintain the two "shadow hiding" abilities.

Therefore, he had no way to find Qili who had tracked him down.

Of course, because Varina uses both hiding abilities at the same time, Qili can't find Varina.

The two of them froze in the air.
