The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Different from the cautiousness in the past, the reason why Lysa chose to escape this time was because she, who had once been imprisoned by the Knights, recognized the middle-aged man who appeared at the entrance of the underground waterway.

He is a serial killer who should have been captured by the Knights.

Commonly known as "night devil".

Volume 88: Chapter [-], Night of Sin ([-])

Ewenna's home when the phantom thief Lysa defected.

Riber and Chris, after coughing for a while, finally waited until the smoke had completely dispersed.

Looking at the already empty doorway, the two strange thieves had long since escaped to nowhere. Riber and Chris looked at each other, and the atmosphere was rather awkward.

"My lord, is this also part of your plan!"

"..."

Why is this person so annoying?

Riber slandered in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and calm.

If it weren't for Chris' eyes still shining with the light of admiration in the past, Riber would have thought that the other party was deliberately mocking him.

"Don't worry, they will come back."

Bite the bullet, Riber said so freely.

For this matter, Riber is still somewhat sure.

Although there are not many opportunities to get in touch, all signs have shown that Ewenna is a "good person" in the traditional sense.

Therefore, now that he deliberately released threatening words and took the entire Nancheng District as a hostage, Ewenna had a reason to return to him on her own initiative.

Riber sighed.

As a "dismemberer", Ewenna, who dismembered the corpse twice and threw the whole city into panic, is actually a "decent" heroine.He had to rely on Yi Wenna's "integrity" in order to better control her.

And in order to solve the incident and catch the criminal, he not only cooperates with the criminal who is also a criminal by all means, but also has to say those lines that are obviously said by the villain...

Is there something wrong?

Good and evil, isn't it a bit too chaotic?

However, this is not without benefits.

At least, with his threat, Ewenna should be able to tell the secret of her becoming a "dismemberer" happily.It's not like a soap opera, where you just tell a reason, and you have to go through misunderstandings, conflicts, misses, and other steps.

Riber shook his head and glanced at the messy room.

This phantom thief's betrayal... probably just ran amok without authorization.

After all, that person doesn't seem very smart.

Sometimes, if you don't touch it, you really don't know how big the gap between imagination and reality will be.

Ribel thought that the strange thief who could play Chris with simple psychological tricks in the original plot should be a very clever existence.But after a short time together, he confirmed that most of these "wisdoms" do not belong to Miss Phantom Thief.Rather, among the strange thieves, there is an existence similar to a military division, making suggestions behind the scenes.

...

"Go out and wait."

Because even after the smoke dissipated, the smell inside the house was still weird and irritating.

So, Riber said and walked out the door.

After coming out the door with Chris, Riber couldn't help frowning.

"Huh? Why is it foggy? Greenwater City usually doesn't get foggy in autumn."

As Chris said, the reason why Riber frowned was precisely because outside the hut, it was surrounded by thick fog at some point.

Although they stayed in the room for a long enough time, the spreading speed of the dense fog was too fast and weird.

In a city with simple folk customs, the sudden foggy night...

Could there be a more ominous omen than this?

Riber felt that when he looked in the mirror now, he could see the black FLAG stuck above his head.

"Look, my lord, there's a fire over there."

While Riber was pondering, Chris said again.

Looking in the direction of Chris' finger, Riber found that the west of Greenwater City, near the city gate, the sky was already dyed red.

It is enough to see that the fire is not small.

"That direction...why does it seem to be the Knights' prison for recidivism?"

Repeat prison?

The Knights still have that kind of place?

"Speaking of which, Dirk is on duty at the repeat prison today."

so...

Although it is useless, it can be regarded as an increase in information.

Riber silently echoed Chris' words in his heart, watched the red sky in the distance for a moment, and then his attention was attracted by other things.

At first, Riber just thought that today's stars were extraordinarily bright.

But looking at it, he realized something was wrong...

The shining things in the sky are different from the real stars.

Those flashing positions are obviously... plot trigger points.

After staring at the sky for a long time, Riber turned around in a state of bewilderment.

what's the situation?

How could the trigger point of the plot hang in the sky?

Is it because his cheating skills are getting better, or is it because of something else...

In short, how to trigger the plot point in the sky?Can someone still fly up there?

And if you count carefully, there are a total of seven plot trigger points distributed in the sky of Greenwater City.

Hey, strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Just when Riber felt that no one could trigger the weird plot point in the sky, he was a little relieved.

Things just happened.

Under Ribel's gaze, the trigger point of the plot located in the west of the city and above the surrounding fire, naturally began to become dazzling, rapidly expanded and then exploded...

Looking at such a scene inexplicably again, Riber smiled.

Well done, Goldfinger.

No one can beat you.

With an expression mixed with various tastes of ups and downs, Riber sighed and closed his eyes, welcoming the advent of the new plot.

...

"The Wandering Chapter of the Sad Witch."

"Act Three."

"Crime and Punishment in the Foggy Night."

...

...

Just when Riber began to greet the plot of Chapter 3 of the sad witch line with a "meditating" attitude, an uninvited guest appeared in Chris's vision.

A figure gradually emerged from the thick fog, it was an extremely thin woman.

The messy long hair almost entangled the entire body of this woman, and the dry skin wrapped around the extra-large skeleton that was almost torn out.

And although it hadn't rained that day, the woman seemed to be drenched all over, dragging her inconvenient body on the ground, leaving long trails of water behind.

"I heard that there is a doctor here who can even take in patients with toxic diseases..."

Contrary to the somewhat frightening appearance, the female voice is delicate, gentle, and very pleasant.

"Doctor, it's over there in the cabin."

Seeing this woman who looked like a drowned female ghost, Chris swallowed silently, and replied with a smile.

The strange woman who appeared in the foggy night did not look like a patient seeking medical treatment.

Even a dull person can sense that something is wrong with the current situation, let alone a "detective" with outstanding observation skills.

"thank you very much..."

The weird woman spoke again.

Her bewildering voice made Chris think for a moment that he had just misunderstood this patient who might have fallen into a well or something and then struggled to get out to seek medical attention.

Until the weird woman dragged two steps slowly, then stopped again.

"Excuse me, sir, why is your back to me all the time?"

"This...Mr. Earl...Isn't it better to respond to her? She looks a little bad..."

Knowing that the woman was referring to Ribel, Chris squeezed out a voice from between his teeth to talk to Ribel next to him.

Riber, on the other hand, is still "meditating".

If it's the first time this happens, Chris may try a few more times to "wake up" Riber.However, a similar situation was encountered at a banquet.Knowing that this is the earl's unique habit, Chris couldn't disturb him any more.

On the other side, Chris saw the weird woman's exposed skin, with blue veins protruding everywhere.Leaving aside how terrifying such an image is, what is certain is that women are quietly building up their anger.

"Ju, you still completely ignore me like this... Definitely, definitely..."

Chris was ready to meet the opponent's anger, but what he didn't expect was that,

"It must be me, isn't it perfect?"

The weird woman in the rage calmed down quickly.

"Is my voice nice?"

The weird woman changed the subject and suddenly asked Chris a question.

And just when Chris was at a loss in the face of this strange man and fell silent, the woman asked the same question again fiercely with a louder voice.

So, Chris could only bite the bullet and answer "It sounds good".

"Is my skin beautiful?"

"Uh...beautiful."

"Is my hair pretty?"

"pretty..."

"Then what do you think I'm missing?"

"Well, a good attitude and work and rest?"

"It's the face. I still lack a beautiful face."

"..."

Chris felt his back soaked in cold sweat.

Because, during this period of time, he previewed a large number of knight order case files, and remembered several cases of disappearances and unidentified corpses being discarded.

Among them, there is a girl who is the head of the Greenwater Opera House, known as the second silver singer, and has a voice like a lark. She has been missing for three years.And five years ago and eight years ago, there were horror cases of unclaimed, scalped and body skinned cases in Greenwater City respectively.

Four days ago, Chris had just linked the two cases together from some details of the case.Inside the Knights Order, they are also planning to name this hidden prisoner "The Skinner".

Then, if it weren't for his intuition, it was obvious that the person in front of him was...

"Give it to me! That straight face!"

When the weird woman yelled, Chris keenly heard a sound like a sharp object piercing the air, so he dodged instinctively.

The next moment, with a sharp pain, Chris, who almost lost his balance, heard the sound of "bang".
