"However, I can tell that Ms. Ilfa is very disappointed. She seems to really want to see you again, but I don't know what she's thinking."

Manhattan couldn't help but begin to recount the story in detail.

Hearing this, Chu Yang felt not honored, but rather couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

"Teacher, I don't want to be targeted by those two witches."

Just because he was thought of, he was forced to wander for nearly a month.

If even this can't avoid them, who knows what kind of trouble it will bring later.

"According to our original plan, I have successfully helped the extraordinary members of the Church of Storms find the corresponding tail of Salina."

"The Church of Storms has begun to get involved in some of the things the witches are doing."

"It's just that those who take the punishment have limited abilities."

"And just as I expected, they were incredibly unreliable. They didn't catch Salina at all, let alone Ilfa."

Manhattan shook his head with considerable regret.

Chu Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his mind racing with thoughts.

"How could anyone escape from such a tight encirclement? Could it be that the witch has an inside accomplice?"

Seemingly sensing Chu Yang's concerns, Manhattan immediately explained that the military had completely focused on the two witches.

Unless they truly intend to sacrifice their lives, they would never continue to cause trouble for Chu Yang and Miss Xiu.

Despite receiving what seemed like an unequivocal guarantee, Chu Yang still harbored some apprehension.

He always felt that he should find an opportunity to actively eliminate those two witches, otherwise there would always be future troubles.

On the other side, Miss Justice Audrey strolled along the path in her own garden.

The fragrance of flowers wafting around her still left her with very mixed feelings.

Just recently, Fors asked her to investigate something.

That matter naturally involved Miss Hugh, who was wanted by the police.

According to relevant sources, Audrey has confirmed that Miss Hugh is indeed wanted, and that the charges against her are all fabricated.

Behind the scenes was a seemingly respectable nobleman.

Audrey even commissioned someone to conduct a thorough and meticulous investigation of Miss Hugh.

It was eventually discovered that Miss Hugh had been doing good deeds for the elite people in the lower classes from the very beginning.

Because of their lack of knowledge, those people were tricked by a gang leader and ended up incurring high-interest loans.

Those high-interest loans can never be repaid, and the compounding interest makes them even more terrifying.

And that damned gang leader was even involved in human trafficking and many other evil deeds.

It was the first time Audrey had learned that a person could become so grotesque and hideous.

Not long after, she investigated and found out who was behind the plot to harm Miss Hugh.

That guy was from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and he held a minor position within it. Moreover, it seemed that there was an even bigger figure standing behind him.

"Have the military personnel all become like this? And that damned lieutenant, he must have taken money from that gangster, otherwise why would he treat Miss Hugh like this?"

Audrey furrowed her beautiful brows tightly.

She originally intended to use her connections to put in a good word.

After all, none of the crimes on Miss Hugh's head could withstand investigation, and such a warrant could be immediately terminated as soon as someone is placed on the wanted list.

But she was still somewhat hesitant at this moment.

This would connect her with Miss Hugh and Fors.

Although Fors seems to be just a simple popular novelist.

But ever since she met Mr. Fool, she has come to realize that the world is not so simple and many things cannot be judged from appearances.

Miss Audrey is now slowly shedding the image of the extremely naive girl she once was.

"We could organize a ball, and then find a more suitable person to directly investigate that guy in the Military Affairs Department."

"This way, with a sufficiently reasonable excuse, we can also help Miss Hugh resolve her troubles."

Audrey heard this idea from her best friend, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was a very appropriate method.

Just as Audrey was deep in thought, she suddenly noticed that her pet golden retriever had sneakily come to another level of the garden.

Usually only the gardener would go to that spot, but today the golden retriever seemed to have suddenly gone crazy.

"What's wrong with Susie again?"

Audrey couldn't help but turn her gaze over there.

She could clearly see the golden retriever shaking its body, desperately sniffing the strange fragrance in front of it, as if it were bewitched.

Then, the golden retriever swayed slightly and suddenly let out a greeting that only humans could make.

"what?"

Audrey couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She asked abruptly, "Susie, how can you talk? How did you do that?"

Upon hearing its owner's voice, the golden retriever instinctively turned around, its eyes filled with panic.

After hesitating for a while, it began to explain in a somewhat uncoordinated tone.

"I don't know what happened, I just suddenly started talking."

At the same time, Chu Yang had already decided to find the two witches as soon as possible.

However, he had no idea how to begin the plan.

After all, there aren't many chapters in the original story about these two witches.

Moreover, under his influence, the situation of the two witches has changed, and their circumstances are significantly different from those in the original story.

Much of the intelligence has long since lost its effectiveness.

After hesitating for a short while, Chu Yang went directly to his teacher Manhattan the next day, saying that he was ready to become a real detective.

He needs to earn enough rewards by constantly taking on missions and to become stronger.

"There are some things I can't tell you; they involve the intricate details of the rules of playing."

"But I can tell you straight up, you want to process what's inside your body by becoming a detective, which is indeed a perfect path."

Manhattan clearly wanted to give Chu Yang more information, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

After all, he has his own stance, and in this world, he cannot reveal the rules of the game on a large scale, or even easily.

This has become an unspoken rule among many extraordinary individuals.

Otherwise, gods or even demigods would not hesitate to cast their gaze upon them and eliminate them.

Even Manhattan or other more powerful extraordinary beings would be powerless to resist all of this.

"I understand, teacher."

Chu Yang took a deep breath and nodded without hesitation.

He also knew that many details of the role-playing method varied from person to person.

Knowing the law for six months doesn't mean you can make rapid progress.

He needs to constantly summarize his role-playing principles while playing the detective. Only in this way, over time, will he truly become a master of this role.

"You understand. I just happened to have planned a dance party recently, which will be held this Sunday night."

"Besides some colleagues, most of the attendees at the ball were members of security bureaus from various regions."

“I plan to take this opportunity to introduce you to them, which will also serve as an initial step in building your reputation.”

"Don't assume that just because we're all detectives, there's a strong competitive relationship between us. It's actually not that surprising."

"Different detectives have different responsibilities and areas of expertise, and I actually really enjoy working with my colleagues."

"Because even I might not be able to solve all the problems."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

Although he has been in this world for quite some time, he has not really gotten used to it like a local, organizing parties or even gatherings of extraordinary people.

This is a perfect opportunity to learn about the most unique dance parties in the area.

"By the way, if you have any friends, you can invite them too."

Manhattan suddenly added another sentence.

Chu Yang's thoughts immediately began to wander.

If he had to choose friends, he only had two options: Miss Hugh and Fors.

Since Miss Hugh hasn't returned yet, the only person he can invite is Fors.

"This is a good opportunity to discuss Fors' situation."

"However, if it's appropriate, we can also call over that reporter we just met."

"As for that pharmacist, let's just forget about him. That guy has a foul mouth, and I don't want to completely ruin the ball another day."

Chu Yang shook his head slightly.

Chu Yang stayed in the studio for a while longer before quickly turning around and leaving.

Without Miss Hugh as an intermediary, he had no idea where Fors was now.

Because he is so careful not to pry into his friends' privacy, he doesn't even know Miss Hugh and Fors's real address.

Of course, Ms. Hugh is also a very meticulous person; she doesn't casually reveal information about her friends.

Fortunately, Chu Yang had anticipated the special circumstances and made a special appointment with the three of them for a fixed meeting time before leaving Backlund.

Unless there's something urgent, Fors would meet Chu Yang at the coffee shop he was most familiar with every evening at eight o'clock.

When Chu Yang arrived at the coffee shop, he was immediately filled with regret upon seeing the crowded scene before him.

"Isn't this a coffee shop? How come it's busier than a restaurant?"

Chu Yang murmured out unconsciously.

"Sir, it's been a long time since you've been here. This coffee shop has truly lived up to its name."

"They sell all sorts of unique dishes here, but the most famous are the budget-friendly set meals."

"It's said to have been invented by a diner. You'll know once you go in and try it."

A gentleman standing nearby couldn't help but explain a few words to Chu Yang, then pushed open the door and went inside without hesitation.

A wry smile appeared on Chu Yang's face.

"I really didn't expect that the cheap set meal back then could completely transform a coffee shop."

Chu Yang shook his head speechlessly, then quickly pushed open the door and went inside.

With just a quick glance around, he spotted Miss Fors.

Today, Fors wasn't wearing an overly ornate long dress; instead, she wore a very crisp and neat knight's outfit.

Overall, Fors at this moment has a dashing and heroic appearance.

Even Chu Yang was meeting Miss Fors for the first time, and now this was happening.

However, Fors' eyes were not bright, and his facial expression looked somewhat dejected, as if he had not slept well.

All of this greatly diminished her overall image.

Chu Yang quickly walked up and sat down very naturally opposite Miss Fors.

Upon seeing Chu Yang's appearance, Miss Fors's face finally brightened, and she asked with some surprise:

"Are you the only one back? Where are my roommates?"

Soon, a sense of urgency appeared in his eyes.

Novelists are very good at making connections.

In this short period of time, she probably imagined at least ten different scenarios for Miss Hugh's tragic fate.

"Miss Hugh needs a long enough time to settle her family. It will probably take at least three days or more for her to return."

"She specifically asked me to let you know, and also told you to get a good night's sleep."

Chu Yang explained in detail, and couldn't help but laugh at the end.

"That guy is always so talkative, he gave me quite a fright just now."

Miss Hugh let out a heavy sigh.

“I read your novel, which contains elements about evil spirits.”

"There is another character in the story who also went on an adventure at sea, but did not return safely and met a tragic end."

"Don't worry, that kind of ending will never happen to me and Miss Hugh."

"Also, I didn't have a chance to congratulate you on becoming a true bestselling novelist."

Chu Yang said with a smile.

Over time, Miss Fors's work has gained considerable renown in Backlund.

This is indeed something to congratulate people on.

"Should we tell Miss Fors about the details of the labyrinth? That might give her more inspiration."

"With greater fame, he can also more easily come into contact with some truly high-ranking nobles."

Chu Yang couldn't help but hesitate.

Moreover, he recalled his experience in the labyrinthine secret realm.

Everything that happened on that large ship that they experienced was something that hadn't yet occurred to the outside world.

Or you could say that a part of the maze-like secret realm can be predicted in advance of certain events that will happen in the outside world.

All of this sounds incredibly exciting.

"Since the situation inside the labyrinth will precede that in the real world, even if I tell Miss Fors about it, it probably won't be considered a leak."

Chu Yang's mind was racing, but in the end he shook his head and gave up.

"Also, have you really not been resting properly lately? You look so listless."

Chu Yang couldn't help but ask further questions.

Even if Miss Fors frequently attended aristocratic gatherings, her mental state shouldn't be this bad. (End of Chapter)
