I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Before Mark and others could react, Os turned into a ball of black smoke and passed through the policemen, rushing towards the stairs. Chara raised her hand and grabbed a black shadow from the black smoke that passed over her. But the black smoke did not dissipate and continued to rush up the stairs.

Calcifer's voice rang in Char's mind, "Hurry up and chase! It will be very troublesome to let the nightmare escape."

Xia Ya did not hesitate and flew directly out of the storage room after the black smoke. Before the police could react, another black figure jumped down from the corner of the room, quickly passed through the crowd, and followed them. Run away from here.

For a time, these secret police were the only ones left in the entire storage room. Some of the secret police's legs went weak and they collapsed directly on the ground, breathing heavily, looking like they were surviving the disaster.

Mark's body also relaxed slightly. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at his colleagues lying on the ground. Their bodies were stained red with blood, but they were still breathing out. The power of the flintlock gun was not big.

He quickly shouted to the police around him.

"Quick! Stop their bleeding! Send them to the hospital!"

The police officers around him reacted and immediately began to rush to stop the bleeding and treat the wounds of their colleagues.

The policeman, who was about the same age as Mark, approached him and lowered his voice.

"Mark, how should we tell the boss about this situation?"

Mark frowned and thought for a moment, looked at the mess around him, recalled what had just happened, and sighed.

"Report it truthfully. Now all this has gone beyond what we can handle."

In this era, natural science is not that developed, and there are almost no materialists. There are still many mysterious legends, although most of them are rumors after artistic processing.

But these police officers are still very accepting of such supernatural events.

The policeman said solemnly, "What on earth is that thing, and who is that man who suddenly appeared? Even such a scary thing is afraid of him."

Mark was silent for a moment and said, "I can only hope that some people above will know the truth."

The man nodded.

For Mark and other low-level police officers, they know very well that there are many terrible and important secrets buried in the hearts of the upper-class people who control most of the power and wealth in Britannia.

They were not surprised at all that these people knew the truth about tonight's supernatural incident.

But apparently, magic has been out of touch with this world for too long.

Even if the power of fate brings it back to the world, it is unlikely that these people who have nothing to do with fate have come into contact with the mystery.

"How is the situation? Has the Marquis of Os been found?"

A marquis disappeared and his life and death were unknown. With such a big thing happening, it was naturally impossible for the other nobles to continue attending the banquet.

Alicia also returned to her bedroom in the palace. It seemed that because she could not see with her eyes, the room was very simple and had a lot of blind-friendly designs.

She sat by the window and asked the maid in front of her who had just finished inquiring about the news.

Just now, the director of the Queens Secret Service was making a case report to the Minister of the Interior, and she happened to be nearby.

The maid pondered for a moment, seeming to be organizing her words, and then she said: "According to Director Hagus, after the disappearance of Marquis Aos, he began to organize his police to blockade the entire imperial capital and go door to door. conduct a search.

In the end, traces of the Marquis of Os were found more than 600 meters away from the crime scene. However, when they arrived, the Marquis of Os was already dead, with his chest pierced by a sharp weapon, and the murderer was missing. "

Alicia nodded solemnly.

Originally, this was just an ordinary murder case, but the identity of the dead person was rather special. However, as the maid told the story, the situation started to go wrong.

"While the secret police were preparing to continue searching for the murderer, the Marquis of Ost was resurrected under their noses."

Alicia frowned, "Resurrection?"

The maid nodded, with clear fear in her eyes, "According to the witness, Inspector Mark, it was more like being possessed by an evil spirit.

He said that thing was more evil and terrifying than any heinous criminal they had ever seen, and it also possessed evil witchcraft.

The moment all the secret police saw his eyes, they lost control of their bodies and were manipulated by him like cash puppets.

Manipulating them to point their guns at their own companions, wanting them to kill each other. "

"What happened next?" Alicia asked impatiently, "What happened to those secret agents?"

"Then a mysterious man appeared." The maid said.

"Mystery man?"

For some reason, Alicia remembered the guy who appeared at the banquet, the biggest suspect in kidnapping the Marquis of Os.

"What does it look like?" Alicia asked.

The maid recalled, "Black hair, black eyes, wearing a black robe, but the specific details are not clear."

It’s similar to what those people at the banquet described, Alicia thought to herself.

Although black hair and black eyes were not specific in the imperial capital, she was 100% sure that he was that person.

The maid's story continued: "The evil spirit seemed to be particularly afraid of the mysterious man. After seeing him, he yelled, "How could you have come to the human world?" "After that, he ran away."

"How could it be possible that he came to the human world?" Alicia frowned slightly, "What do you mean, that person is not from the human world?"

"I don't know, but according to Inspector Mark's guess, it should be a more terrifying existence than that evil spirit."

Alicia fell into deep thought, and then she asked: "Is this mysterious person good or bad?"

"I don't know." The maid shook her head and said, "But according to Inspector Mark, it is certain that the mysterious man and the evil spirit are not the same.

According to his speculation, the reason why the person behind the scenes kidnapped the Marquis of Os was probably to allow the evil spirit to take over the body of the Marquis of Os and act as the Marquis of Os in the upper echelons of Britannia.

If all the people who witnessed all this were silenced by then, their plan would almost certainly succeed.

But the appearance of the mysterious man saved all the secret agents present at the time, and the conspiracy was naturally broken. "

Alicia fell silent. She remembered that at the dance, the man said he wanted to return a favor to her.

At that time, she thought it was just a casual comment from him.

But think about it now

He might not have appeared there by chance, and he might not have been the one who kidnapped the Marquis of Os.

He knew about the conspiracy early on and waited for everything to destroy the conspiracy.

But why did he do all this?

With the power he possessed, it was impossible for those two gangsters to pose a threat to him, so there was no such thing as favor.

Or... the reason why he appeared there at that time was to get close to him deliberately?

Is he aiming for me?

Alicia pursed her lips slightly, put aside the increasingly confusing thoughts in her mind, and continued to ask.

“How did the interior minister handle it?”

"He didn't believe the report at first and scolded Director Hagus, but there are four secret agents lying in the hospital now, so these can't be false.

Then, he went to the church and invited Bishop Bach, and they are still chatting now. "

"It's not surprising, these mysterious things can always get around the Holy See, but can they really solve such things?" Alicia whispered in a low voice.

"It should be okay?" the maid said with some uncertainty.

The history of the Holy See is much longer than that of Britannia, and its status in the hearts of Brittanians is also extraordinary.

"No matter how great a work of art is, it will eventually be erased by time, and the same is true for inheritance. Although the Holy See of Britannia still believes in the Supreme Lord, it cannot be said to be orthodox."

Alicia said calmly, she pondered for a moment and then continued.

"Lies woven with sacred banners are also particularly easy to believe."

The maid tilted her head in confusion. She didn't quite understand what the princess meant.

"If the Holy See can't handle it, then it can only rely on wizards."

Suddenly, the maid seemed to remember something, raised her head and said, "Speaking of which, have you heard of that rumor?"
