Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 333 Goodbye Audrey (Today's Updates)

Backlund, Hilton Boulevard.

When Odysseus was running for his life outside the villa, he saw a figure in the darkness some distance away from the villa.

With just one glance, Odysseus could confirm that it was a Sequence 5, probably standing guard outside.

According to the habits of the Extraordinary Organization, real big shots certainly wouldn't do things like stalking, so every time they take action, they need to be followed by a group of subordinates.

To keep an eye on a big figure like the "Mysterious Queen", at least a Sequence 5 is required.

Odysseus hesitated for less than a second, then simply left from the shadow not far away from the other party.

Today, the "Moss Ascetic Order" not only sent out demigods, but also angels. The most important thing now is to escape.

At this moment, a force that struck the soul suddenly appeared from the direction of the villa, causing the shadowed Odysseus to tremble, as if the most terrifying thing was chasing him from behind.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued to flee in trembling.

At this moment, Sequence 5, who was hiding in the darkness, held a ball of "star sand" in his hand and quickly escaped using "flying magic".

Coincidentally, the opponent's escape route overlapped with Odysseus's.

In other words, in the surrounding area, the route chosen by Odysseus is the best escape route, which is why this overlap occurs.

Odysseus thought to himself: Don’t blame me for this!
However, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he fled a distance and entered an alley. After the trembling feeling was no longer so obvious, he suddenly approached the "astrologer": "Death!"

Although the "astrologer" who was running for his life felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, the "pale death" gave him tremendous mental pressure, making him think it was an illusion, so all his thoughts were focused on escaping.

The sudden attack at this time was another inevitable "death", which directly knocked the stunned "astrologer" away. He vomited blood while in mid-air.

While spitting out blood, he immediately threw out a life-saving scroll he had obtained from the demigod and chanted a spell in ancient Hermetic language: "Unreal!"

He immediately turned into a shadow and quickly disappeared from Odysseus's sight.

Odysseus's spirit couldn't sense the other party's presence, so he also threw out a scroll that emitted a faint light: "Doom!"

This is a scroll he developed using demigod-level materials obtained from the School of Life. It can make the target extremely unlucky in the next three seconds.

Bang!
The next second, although he disappeared without a trace, the seriously injured "astrologer" stumbled and unfortunately knocked over a trash can on the street.

Odysseus immediately pounced forward, clenched his right hand wearing the "Harvesting Gloves", and more than a dozen fire crows formed instantly, flew towards the surroundings of the trash can, and exploded.

The "astrologer" dodged desperately. He could have dodged it, but at this time, one of his legs unfortunately cramped.

Boom~
A fire crow exploded onto the back of the "Astrologer", blowing him away. The blood exposed his whereabouts, and the previous explosion made his injuries worse, and he was no longer able to escape.

Odysseus had already rushed close by now, and he clenched his gloved hand into a fist and punched out, using his "harvesting" ability.

The "astrologer" suddenly felt his life slipping away rapidly. He fell to the ground, not even having the strength to crawl.

At this time, bright starlight appeared on the "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand. These starlights solidified instantly and formed a "star sword" with a little bit of stars.

Odysseus stabbed the "astrologer" in the back with his sword, and the tip of the sword came out from his chest.

Because time was running out, Odysseus picked up the "astrologer" who was not completely dead yet and sent him into the "wilderness of knowledge".

The "Astrologer"'s life has been exhausted, but he has not died completely yet. There will be nothing wrong in sending him to the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

At this time, the demigod Cecil, holding his broken arm, stumbled into the alley.

He had clearly chopped off the withered arm, but the lost hand and forearm still felt maddening pain.

It was a pain that even a demigod could not bear.

As soon as he turned into the alley, Cecil saw a young man in pajamas picking his "astrologer" subordinate into a "space array".

Then, without any pause, the other party jumped into the darkness of the alley, as if jumping into the water, without any splash, and completely disappeared without a trace.

Cecil rubbed his eyes in disbelief. It was really gone!
It wasn't that he had entered the spirit world, nor that he had become invisible, but rather that his presence could not be sensed by either normal vision or spiritual sense.

At this moment, Cecil felt an oppressive gaze directed towards him.

The gaze came from King's Avenue. Apparently, the Loen royal family had already noticed the angel-level battle in the villa, so they activated the corresponding level 0 seal and looked over here.

Thinking of this, Cecil immediately hid in the spirit world.

The main target of that gaze was not him, so it wouldn't be a problem if he escaped using the spirit world.

……

Odysseus used the "shadowing" method to move forward in the darkness and quickly escaped from several streets. Because he had been using the "Monk Ring" for a long time, he left the "shadowing" state in an alley.

He was about to go out to find a taxi, but when he saw the pajamas he was wearing, he had to go deeper into the alley. Amid the stench of garbage and the smell of urine, he changed into his own clothes and put his briefcase and the "Staff of Gus" into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

After putting on some simple makeup, Odysseus quickly left the alley with a strong smell, went to the main street, hailed a horse-drawn carriage, first went to the South Bridge District next door, then hailed another horse-drawn carriage before heading to the "Bay Bar".

The bar is not big, and the drinkers are relatively silent. Only a few people are talking in low voices in the corner, making the place feel like a library.

Odysseus went to the bar, quietly asked for a beer, and drank it while waiting for Bernadette.

Just after taking three or four sips of beer, Bernadette's tall and holy figure suddenly appeared in Odysseus's mind: "Come out."

Odysseus thought to himself: This way of communicating is really convenient.

He took a few more sips of beer before getting up and leaving the bar.

It was already late at night, and seeing that there was no one around, Odysseus came to a corner of the street.

As soon as his figure was introduced into the darkness, wings with illusory feathers appeared around him. Then, the illusory feathers disappeared, and Odysseus disappeared with them.

When he reappeared, he had arrived in a spacious room.

This is a bedroom with a fireplace. The furniture is very complete, including a bed, desk, wardrobe, etc., as well as a set of sofas and a small coffee table.

Bernadette was sitting on the sofa, already drinking tea. She looked at Odysseus and asked, "Is everything going well?"

"It went very smoothly." Odysseus smiled and said, "I even killed one of the other team's sentries."

As he spoke, he looked around and immediately noticed: "Why doesn't this room have a door?"

"This is my safe house in Backlund." Bernadette smiled and said, "When it was designed, there were no doors, and it would change position on its own.

“Sometimes I have to look really hard to find it.”

Odysseus exclaimed, "What a magical room."

"Now there is a problem." Bernadette said.

Odysseus asked, "What's the problem?"

Bernadette pointed to the bed and said, "There's only one bed."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I have come to seek refuge with Her Majesty the Queen. I am half your guest, so I..."

"You're right. You're my guest. And it's thanks to you that we brought out the hidden dangers of the Moss Ascetic Order today." Bernadette said, "So you sleep on the sofa."

Odysseus opened his mouth, but did not continue to fight for it. Instead, he said, "Okay then."

Bernadette was somewhat surprised: "I thought you would hold on a little longer."

"If I hold on a little longer, will you give me the bed?"

"will not."

Odysseus smiled helplessly: "Then why should I persist?"

Bernadette waved her hand, and the wardrobe opened by itself. A pillow and a quilt flew out and landed steadily on the sofa.

She then smiled and said, "I think this kind of victory is very meaningless."

Odysseus smiled helplessly and sat on the single sofa next to her: "Is the sofa soft? Is it comfortable to sleep on?"

"It's OK." Bernadette said, "As for whether it's comfortable to sleep in, I haven't slept there before, so I'm not sure."

She changed the subject: "The Moss Ascetic Order doesn't seem to be planning any major moves in Backlund."

She then recounted her earlier conversation with Cecil, concluding, "If they were to carry out their previous plan again, there would definitely be no warnings."

Odysseus was stunned: "Then why are they coming to Backlund?"

Bernadette spread her hands and said, "I don't know. I'll have to look into it."

Odysseus leaned back on the sofa and said, "I'll also let my people pay attention to this matter."

Bernadette hummed, then stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's get some rest."

Odysseus took off his coat: "Okay."

The two of them lay down in their clothes, and Bernadette snapped her fingers, and the gas lamp in the room went out.

The whole room was suddenly filled with darkness, so dark that even Odysseus's enhanced eyes could not see far.

Odysseus guessed that Bernadette had deliberately created the effect of darkness, but he didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and fell asleep as quickly as possible. When he lay down on the sofa at first, he felt it was pretty good.

But after lying down for a while, before he could fall asleep, Odysseus felt uncomfortable lying on the sofa.

Opening his eyes again and looking at the looming ceiling, Odysseus asked, "Are you asleep?"

Bernadette responded, "Asleep."

"Talking in your sleep?"

Bernadette said helplessly, "Do you still need me to teach you 'meditation'?"

"The sofa is a little uncomfortable." Odysseus said, "I want to wait until I get used to it before sleeping."

"Do you want me to turn on the light for you?"

"No need." Odysseus asked, "Have you ever had the experience of lying in bed at night and chatting with someone?"

Bernadette immediately denied it: "No."

"I have."

"With your girlfriend?"

"No." Odysseus smiled and said, "I knew you were thinking in the wrong direction.

"That was when I was in school. I lived in a dormitory with a few other students. I couldn't sleep at night, so I just lay in bed and chatted."

This topic also gradually aroused Bernadette's interest: "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about history, games, cars... carriages, and warships." Odysseus replied.

Bernadette pressed on: "Don't talk about female classmates."

"Let's talk about it." Odysseus said, "That's also one of the topics."

The "Mysterious Queen" sighed, "I thought you were mainly talking about female classmates."

Odysseus laughed and said, "At that time, there were so many things that interested people."

The main thing is that when we were talking about warships and airplanes, it was really a disappointment when we suddenly started talking about female classmates.

As for chatting about female classmates, that would require a special session.

At this time, Bernadette asked: "What is there to talk about in history?"

Odysseus was speechless for a moment, mainly because Rune had only gradually become the world's number one in the last century or so, and the gap between him and the next three was not very big, so it seemed that there was really nothing to talk about.

"Well, we mainly talk about historical figures." Odysseus smiled and said, "For example, Emperor Roselle."

Bernadette smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

Then she asked, "There doesn't seem to be much to talk about games, right? Besides, if you live on campus, you're at least in your teens. Are you still playing games?"

"I was wrong just now. We were talking about sports, sports-related competitive games." Odysseus quickly changed the subject: "Sometimes I feel that my life now is quite fragmented.

"More than two hours ago, I just killed a Beyonder.

"Now I'm lying on the sofa, having a chat that helps me sleep, and I don't feel any guilt or uneasiness at all."

"This shows that you have adapted to the life of a Beyonder." Bernadette said, "Ever since we became Beyonders, fighting and killing, madness and distortion have been inseparable from us.

"I think this is why Extraordinary people easily lose control. After all, none of us came into this world to fight, nor to constantly fight against madness and distortion.

“Not every Beyonder can adjust their mental state.

"In other words, every one of us Beyonders has some psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent."

Odysseus was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Your words have really elevated the mood of our evening's conversation."

A smile gradually crept onto Bernadette's face, and then she suppressed the laughter in her tone: "The word 'bedchat' is quite appropriate."

As they chatted, Odysseus spoke less and less, and eventually fell asleep.

Bernadette looked up at Odysseus who was sitting on the sofa. Odysseus felt that the light in the room was very dark because the power of the "Mysterious Queen" was directed at him. To Bernadette, the light in the room did not change at all.

At this moment, Odysseus looked calm, his breathing was even, and he had an indescribable sense of peace.

Bernadette lay down again and looked at the ceiling quietly, as if she saw the bright starry sky.

It seemed like the joyful starry sky she saw on the roof of her house when she was a child.

……

The next morning, Odysseus got up and felt unwell all over.

Fortunately, he is already Sequence 5 and his physique is much stronger, otherwise he would definitely suffer from back pain.

Seeing Bernadette already sitting in the easy chair in front of the fireplace, he asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Bernadette raised her hand, and a small wooden table appeared in front of her. Then she said in a magnetic voice, "Dinner is ready!"

In an instant, a lot of food appeared on the small wooden table, including bacon, croissants, cookies, pies, as well as milk, juice and other drinks.

Odysseus sighed, "How convenient."

He sat on the carpet beside the small wooden table and ate a milk-flavored croissant before suddenly remembering, "This...this food isn't illusory, it's not going to disappear in my stomach after a while, is it?"

"No." Bernadette explained, "This is a legendary table, said to have come from a magical carpenter.

“I don’t know where the food comes from, but there is nothing wrong with it and it tastes okay.

"Sometimes I need to hide in a safe house for a while and eat at this small wooden table. I can stay here for a week or two."

Odysseus realized that this must be a fairy tale, but he seemed to have never heard of this story.

Then he thought again, this is normal. There are so many stories in "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales", and he has not read many of them.

Odysseus laughed as he ate his breakfast: "If I had a table like this, I could stay at home for a whole year."

But the prerequisite is that you need a phone to watch videos and a computer to play games. Otherwise, if you are locked up in a small, shabby house, you will lose control in less than a month. After breakfast, Odysseus said, "You won't still stay here at night, will you?"

"No." Bernadette said, "I've rented a few villas in Backlund. I'll let you know in the afternoon where you'll rest for the night."

"Okay." Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll go out and keep an eye on them."

Bernadette said "hmm" and raised her hand. Odysseus was dazed and found himself in the corridor of an apartment.

He was stunned for a moment before he seemed to come to his senses, walked through the corridor, went down the stairs, and appeared on the street outside.

At this time, Odysseus was still a little dazed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's so awesome to reach Sequence 3!
Odysseus did not act immediately, but went to a hotel not far away and asked for an hourly room.

After entering the room, he lay down on the bed comfortably and felt that sleeping in bed was more comfortable.

Then Odysseus used the method of "meditation" to enter the "wilderness of knowledge".

The corpse of the "astrologer" thrown in last night had already developed extraordinary characteristics.

After Odysseus casually took the "CPU" and smashed it, he searched the body and did not find any magical items, but he did find more than a dozen scrolls.

Two of the scrolls have a very special color, and no one knows what material they are made of. They look as smooth as jade, and it is obvious that they are not ordinary scrolls.

Odysseus took it to the "CPU" for identification. It was a scroll made by a demigod. One of its abilities was to become illusory. During the period when the scroll was effective, not only did it have the effect of invisibility, but the enemy's spirits could not sense the user of the scroll at all.

The other scroll is more offensive and can release a ball of knowledge that fills the brain, making the target instantly lose the ability to resist.

If the condition is not good, it is likely to trigger the precursor to losing control. If the condition is good, there will be a phenomenon of stagnation of thinking in the next one or two seconds, and slow reaction in the next few seconds.

Odysseus sighed: "At the level of demigods, scrolls are very advanced. However, in demigod battles, the "occultists" usually don't have time to use scrolls, or at that time, the fastest and most reliable way is to use their own skills."

Then it seems that the scroll made by the demigod has only one purpose, which is to train subordinates.

Yet another use!
Odysseus thought to himself: The opening of the scroll shop is imminent.

This kind of store cannot be opened as casually as a magic pharmacy. After all, the audience of the scroll is not ordinary people.

Therefore, Odysseus planned to operate the business in a membership-based manner, first recruiting some members from the Mysticism Research Society and the Intelligence Exchange Society, and then after a certain period of observation, he would allow them to introduce new members.

However, Odysseus was a bit troubled about where to open the store. Although there was protection from the military and the Church of the Goddess of Night, the official Beyonders would turn a blind eye.

But we still have to be wary of members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" or similar secret organizations that come to our door and carry out some sabotage activities.

Bernadette's safe house gave Odysseus a good inspiration to build a space that would appear regularly, each time in a different location.

Odysseus only had a rough idea, and he gave the rest of the specific design to the two "intelligent puppets".

Then Odysseus looked at the body of the "astrologer" on the ground. Because he had been in the "wilderness of knowledge", his spirit had not left his body and his spirituality had not dissipated. It was almost like he had just died.

So Odysseus took out a magical item that he had seized before, which was marked as a "psychic", and used it to communicate with the psychic.

Because he could borrow the breath of the "Wilderness of Knowledge", after injecting spirituality into the magical items, he easily entered the "psychic state".

The spirit of the "astrologer" appeared next to the corpse. He looked confused, as if he had lost most of his ability to think.

Odysseus asked, "What is your purpose in coming to Backlund?"

The other party replied: "Investigate Odysseus Garr carefully."

Odysseus was stunned: Are they coming for me?
This reminded him that he had previously used the "Staff of Gus" to obtain information from Rosalind Reye, the "pillar" of the "Moss Ascetic Order", that a group of members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" seemed to be searching for him.

Up to now, Cruz Island has not been well-known. Except for those who know the inside story, no one would associate this island with the "Secret Admiral".

So even though the name of Odysseus Garr is written on the wanted poster of "Admiral of Mystery", the members of "Moss Ascetic Order" still cannot find Odysseus on the sea.

Odysseus asked again: "What is your purpose in investigating Odysseus Gal?"

"do not know."

Odysseus changed the topic and asked, "Have you found any valuable information?"

"We've found where Odysseus lived before he came to Backlund," the Astrologer said with blurry eyes. "It's almost certain that Odysseus is a very special being."

Odysseus was stunned: "That's all the clues you found?"

"Yes."

Odysseus couldn't help but laugh: "Your ability in investigating this kind of thing isn't very good."

He did not continue to ask, but used a potion to dissolve the corpse, dealt with the corpse, and released the other party's spirit from the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

After taking another look at the two "intelligent puppets" doing research, Odysseus returned to the real world.

After a short rest, Odysseus checked out and used "Travel" to come to Queens. In the corner, he used the "Faceless Necklace" to transform into the face of a middle-aged man and observed Duke Negan's mansion.

Duke Negan is the leader of the Conservative Party in the Kingdom of Loen and one of the most powerful nobles in the entire kingdom. He owns a huge mansion in a prime location like Queens, with several acres of lawn alone.

You know, this is in Backlund's Queens district. They use such a large area for nothing but planting grass...

Odysseus thought to himself: "It would be great if I could grow some vegetables! What a pity to waste such a large piece of land!"

From such a distance, I couldn't see anything inside the villa.

But Odysseus was not in a hurry and walked towards the north area.

In addition to being a great noble, Duke Negan is also a senior official in Loen, commuting from his residence to Government Street in the North District to work every day.

Although Odysseus did not use his own intelligence network to investigate Duke Negan, he was still able to roughly compile a list of Duke Negan's daily schedule based on some intelligence accumulated in the past.

It was difficult to complete the assassination in Duke Negan's mansion and office area, so it was most convenient to do it on the road. Therefore, Odysseus walked to scout the area and look for several ambush points.

Odysseus walked slowly from Queens to the North Borough. Although the two districts were separated by the Hilton District, the overall distance was not very far because there was no need to cross the Tussock River.

At noon, Odysseus had a quick lunch, and then continued on his way in the afternoon.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Odysseus, who had changed his face, returned to Duke Negan's mansion. He saw luxurious carriages driving into the mansion and guessed that there would be a ball tonight.

Odysseus thought about it, and then used the "Invisibility Scroll" in a corner where no one was around, and entered the mansion without anyone noticing.

Odysseus noticed that there were Beyonders checking the guests at the door, including a Sequence 6.

He had heard before that since the assassination of Duke Negan by Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos last year, Duke Negan had strengthened the security of his official residence.

Even the gatekeeper was a Sequence 6. Odysseus estimated that Duke Negan must have paid a high price or used his connections to hire at least one or two Sequence 5s.

Duke Negan should always be accompanied by a Sequence 5.

In the "invisible" state, Odysseus did not enter the villa immediately, but went to the servant area at the back.

First he found a set of servant's clothes that fit him well, then he transformed into another person, put on the servant's clothes, and walked quickly to the kitchen.

The servants in the entire Duke's Mansion were very busy today and did not notice the appearance of an extra servant.

But Odysseus knew very well that he could not just enter the ballroom, because the extraordinary people who were protecting Duke Negan there would definitely feel that Odysseus was a stranger and would notice something was wrong.

Odysseus lowered his head and seemed to be busy with everyone else, but in fact he was waiting.

After waiting patiently for more than half an hour, Odysseus finally found an opportunity and saw a waiter coming out of the ballroom and walking quickly to the bathroom.

Odysseus also pretended to be in a hurry to pee and followed him to the bathroom reserved for servants. Seeing that there was no one around, Odysseus injected spirituality into the "Dream Bracelet", rushed forward and glanced into the other person's eyes.

This servant was just an ordinary person, instantly hypnotized. He urinated while saying, "My name is Danny. I live at 56 Screw Avenue in the Backlund Factory District. I'm currently a second-class butler. My mission tonight is to deliver wine to the guests.

"The trick to this job is to serve the wine immediately when you see the guest's glass is empty.

"But it's his freedom to take it or not. If you find that the other person doesn't want the wine anymore, you should politely ask him if he wants juice or something else.

"When observing guests' eyes, be polite. For example, try to only stare at the guests' cups and avoid making eye contact with them. If you accidentally make eye contact, smile or nod to greet them."

Odysseus stood behind the second-class servant and said, "You can go back and rest for a while. You will fall asleep immediately after you go back and will not wake up until two hours later.

“When you wake up, you realize you went back to your dorm to get your shoes shined.

"After polishing my shoes, I immediately went back to work in the dance hall. I was so busy today, so time passed quickly. Two hours had already gone by in the blink of an eye."

At this time, Danny finished using the toilet, and Odysseus used an "invisibility scroll" to make Danny invisible to others. The second-class servant then quickly returned to the servants' quarters.

After a while, Odysseus disguised as Danny came out. After wiping his hands carefully, he quickly returned to the dance hall.

The dance party had already started at this time. As the band played, many people were dancing on the dance floor. Of course, more people were holding wine glasses and chatting in groups of three or five.

In order to serve wine to the guests at any time, Odysseus could observe the guests in the ballroom openly.

Soon he found the initiator of the ball and the focus of the ball, Duke Negan.

The duke's waist had long been bloated, and his sharp and shrewd eyes were filled with turbidity and desire. However, due to good maintenance, his face seemed to have almost no wrinkles, and his black hair was still thick.

Odysseus only took a quick look before looking elsewhere. There was indeed a Sequence 5 beside Duke Negan. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a tuxedo and with a cold expression.

Odysseus was afraid of being noticed, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.

At this time, Odysseus glanced at the ladies and young ladies, and an extremely beautiful figure appeared in Odysseus's sight.

She has golden hair, a pure and elegant temperament, and green eyes like the purest gems. She is "Justice" Audrey Hall.

Audrey wore a gorgeous but simple evening gown today. Every movement she made was graceful and natural, which made Odysseus sigh: It is truly a work of art created by the Creator.

Then Odysseus saw the big golden dog in the corner of the dance hall. The big dog immediately turned its head away after noticing Odysseus's gaze.

Oops!

Odysseus realized: My gaze seemed to stay on Audrey for a little too long... well, more than a second.

Ordinary people certainly won’t notice this, but it’s hard to say for the “audience”.

So, besides occasionally paying attention to Duke Negan and the extraordinary people around him, Odysseus would also keep an eye on the golden retriever Susie to prevent her from causing trouble.

After about twenty minutes, Audrey politely ended the conversation and walked toward the terrace outside the ballroom.

She just saw Susie winking at her and wondered what Susie wanted to talk to her about.

It was also after experiencing the previous assassination of Duke Negan that Audrey became very cautious every time she attended a ball.

But after all, she still had to deal with the ladies and young ladies at the ball, and it was inevitable that she would miss some details, so she knew very well that Susie's observation was very important.

On the spacious terrace, there were also several men smoking and talking. When they saw Audrey come out, they put out their cigarettes politely and returned to the dance hall.

Audrey thanked them politely.

When there was no one else on the terrace, Audrey whispered, "What's wrong, Susie?"

"Audrey, there's something wrong with one of the servants." Susie said, "He's clearly a second-class male servant, but I saw him paying attention to Duke Negan several times."

Generally speaking, the Duke and his guests are served by head butlers or first-class butlers. With them around, there is no need for second-class butlers to pay attention there.

"And I noticed that the way he looked at you was a little strange." Susie continued, "The most important thing is that the other male servants basically lowered their heads and bent slightly, but he was the only one who kept his back straight."

Bang bang bang~
Before Audrey could respond, applause rang out from behind, and a male voice said, "Your pet has very good observation skills."

Audrey turned around suddenly and saw a man dressed as a footman coming to the terrace. This surprised her because her spirituality had not noticed this at all just now.

She was about to call for help when the man quickly said, "I'm the Captain."

Audrey was stunned for a moment, then her expression turned to surprise: "You are..."

Odysseus made a "silence" gesture and said, "I have other things to do today. We'll talk later."

"Okay!" Audrey nodded immediately.

Now that Audrey and Susie had been stabilized, in order not to arouse other people's suspicion, Odysseus quickly returned to the ballroom.

Susie looked at the surprised girl and asked, "Audrey, did he see me talking?"

"It seems so." Audrey quickly calmed down: "Even if he didn't see it, he should have heard it.

"But don't worry, he will keep it a secret for us."

Susie then asked, "Who is he?"

Audrey thought for a moment before smiling and saying, "A friend of mine."

She then continued, "He's a very powerful Beyonder. I didn't expect you to discover his tracks. You've done a great job, and I'll give you a pack of cookies as a reward."

"That's great." Susie spun around happily.

At the subsequent ball, Audrey remained in the audience's state and did not deliberately observe the servants until the ball ended and Audrey went back in a carriage.

After attending the ball, Audrey went home alone by car.

In her car were her personal maid, Anne, and her golden retriever, Susie.

Audrey was just thinking about how Mr. Hermit would contact her when she suddenly saw a carriage moving. The door opened and Mr. Hermit got in as if nothing had happened and sat across from Audrey. "Hello, Miss Hall."

After learning that the "Hermit" was Lelouch, Audrey, who was meeting the Tarot Club members in the real world for the first time, was somewhat surprised and a little nervous as she said, "Hello, Mr. Captain, or Mr. Gar."

They tacitly avoided the code names used in the Tarot Club.

While greeting, Audrey observed the young man opposite. He was younger than she had imagined, with bright eyes and handsome looks. The mustache on his upper lip gave him a touch of maturity.

At the same time, she noticed that Mr. Gal's suit had several wrinkles that were difficult for ordinary people to notice. He must be a man who didn't pay much attention to such details.

The windbreaker he wears on the outside is a psychological description of his dislike of being restricted and his free-spirited personality.

Then Audrey discovered that Anne and Susie didn't seem to see Odysseus and didn't react at all.

Odysseus explained, "I have a seal for the 'audience' pathway. Just now, when you were leaving, I hypnotized them one after another, so now they can't see me."

Audrey smiled and said, "I didn't expect 'hypnosis' could be used like this."

Then she asked, "Mr. Gar, you suddenly came to Backlund. Is there something going on?"

Odysseus said, "Hmm," and said, "I'm going to assassinate Duke Negan."

Since he met "Justice" Audrey tonight, Odysseus estimated that the assassination would no longer be concealed after it happened. In order to give her some psychological preparation, Odysseus decided to explain his purpose.

Audrey took a deep breath and said, "It's Duke Negan again."

Then she said, "You may not know this, but Vice Admiral Hurricane had previously attempted to assassinate Duke Negan, but Mr. Fool's angel killed Vice Admiral Hurricane."

Audrey means that the "Fool" does not want Duke Negan to be killed.

The point is that she really doesn't want Mr. Gall to hurt anyone she knows.

"I'm also very familiar with the details of that assassination." Odysseus said, "Mr. Fool doesn't support Duke Negan..."

Having said that, Odysseus spread his hands and said, "I'll ask The Fool to pass on some information about Duke Negan. I think after reading it, you'll have a new perspective on this noble."

Audrey frowned and said, "No matter what, please don't kill innocent people."

"After you've read the information, you can choose to report me, or you can choose to pretend you know nothing." Odysseus smiled and said, "Remember what I said when I was still Lelouch: I don't have prejudices against all nobles."
