Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 44 Audrey

Eve had a pillow behind her back, her upper body half leaning against the headboard, her legs stretched out and covered with a quilt, holding in her hand the investigation report that Eris and Sharon had sacrificed to Him.

In her previous life, Eve liked to stay in bed covered with a quilt. She even bought a small bedside table to do her homework and work on the bed. She has maintained this hobby in this life.

The black flames jumped on the white paper, and the white paper was slowly swallowed by the flames, curling up and scorching yellow, and soon it all turned into ashes.

There is no useful intelligence.

Only some insignificant strongholds could be found on the southern continent, and Rune had just begun its investigation and was hesitant for fear of alerting the enemy.

Chike has been silent for hundreds of years, and now he suddenly appears...

Eve leaned back slightly, resting her head gently on the wall, and stroking her hanging black hair with her fingers.

"The Loen royal family has a conqueror trait..." Eve looked up at the ceiling and thought to herself, "If that's the case, then Chike is definitely worth a try."

Eve felt a little emotional when she thought of this. If Russell had won, none of this would have happened.

Unfortunately, there is no if. Russell was defeated, his resurrection failed, and Eve also paid the price for her choice.

Eve slid into the bed, covering her head with it. Darkness filled her vision. She pulled the quilt corners and rolled around, wrapping herself tightly in a long line. She rolled back again, the quilt slowly spreading out under her. After rolling back and forth several times, Eve lay on the bed with the quilt pressed down on her body, her arms spread out without any ladylike demeanor, one leg straight and the other slightly bent.

After lying there for a while, Eve heard Klein's voice in her ears.

"The embodiment of disaster,

The ruler of the mirror world,
A symbol of joy and pain."

"I'm being followed!"

Eve raised her eyelids and replied lazily, "They're from the Secret Order, coming for the Antigonus family notes. Just continue with your work and ignore them."

The girl supported herself on the bed with her hands and sat up, leaving her beloved bed, walking barefoot on the floor towards the closet.

After changing clothes and washing up, Eve picked up Ruirui, who was lying on the sofa reading a newspaper like a human, and put her in her handbag, leaving only her black, furry little head exposed.

"Let's go to work." Eve raised her handbag and patted Ruirui's head.

"Meow!" Ruirui's voice sounded a little dissatisfied. Eve rubbed her little head and said with a bit of resentment: "I don't want to go to work either. We have to share the difficulties."

Backlund's Queens District, where Backlund's elite resided, offered a far superior environment compared to other parts of the city. Even the smog had faded considerably. Neatly trimmed shrubs lined the smooth, clean roads, while luxurious, European-style buildings stood majestically like kings.

Eve arrived at Earl Hall's villa, and under the guidance of a maid, she met Earl Hall's daughter, the legendary Backlund's most dazzling diamond, Audrey Hall.

As a small reporter, Eve was naturally not qualified to interview Earl Hall. Her interviewees were his wife and daughter.

This beautiful young lady, who was about to enter Backlund's social circle as an adult, was sitting upright on the sofa. Her eyes lit up when she saw Eve, and she didn't seem nervous about the interview at all.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Hall, Miss Hall," Eve said, lifting her skirt and bowing to the two ladies. "Good afternoon." Audrey's cheerful voice reminded Eve of Eirene, and she felt a little more favorable towards this most dazzling diamond.

"Good afternoon, Miss Eve." Compared to Audrey, the Countess was much more mature. Although she was in her fifties, she looked like a lady in her thirties.

Eve sat opposite the two of them, and the content of the interview was really boring. Although the questions to the two ladies were not serious, they were very "official", both Eve's questions and the other party's answers.

Eve didn't like this, and neither did Audrey. Compared to her mother's "official" answers, Audrey's answers were more lively, and she would occasionally make jokes, becoming a source of joy for Eve in the boring interview.

Eve put away her notebook and said goodbye to the two ladies with a smile.

Outside the villa, Eve saw Rarity sitting on a golden retriever.

"Rarity," Eve waved to the black cat. Rarity meowed, jumped off the golden retriever's back and ran towards Eve. "Let's go home."

"Is this Miss Eve's cat?" The golden retriever ran to Miss Audrey's feet. Audrey bent down and stroked its back, saying, "Rui Rui, is it named after the Scarlet Moon Cat?"

"Miss Hall is so knowledgeable," Eve said with a smile.

"Audrey," Audrey stood up and said to Eve with a smile, "It's private time now, just call me Audrey. I just happen to be very interested in the occult, so I learned a little more."

"Really?" Eve picked up Ruirui and stroked her back. "It just so happens that I know a lot about the occult. If Miss Audrey is interested, you can write to me. My address is 18 Minsk Street, Cherwood District."

"Really?" Audrey's eyes lit up and she said excitedly. Seeing Eve nod, Audrey cheered softly, "Thank you, you are such a knowledgeable and kind lady."

The Countess saw all of this. She knew that there were extraordinary powers in this world, and she didn't mind her daughter gaining extraordinary powers. Audrey would be independent sooner or later, and it would be good to have some extraordinary powers to help her.

She guessed that this reporter might be an extraordinary person. There were many extraordinary people in the Hall family, so she was not afraid that she would have any bad intentions. As long as she did not lead Audrey astray, the Hall family would not do anything to her.

Moreover, since he named his cat after Scarlet Moon Cat, he must be a devout believer of the goddess, not a cultist.

"Maybe we can have a tea party right now," Audrey said impatiently, "right in the garden, with some cakes, ice cream, and black tea... Miss Eve, do you like black tea or coffee?"

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Black Tea," Eve pinched the tip of Ruirui's ear, "It's a pity that my time this afternoon has been booked."

"Really?" Audrey was disappointed for a moment, then regained her energy. "Then can I make an appointment with Miss Eve for tomorrow? It only takes a little while."

"Of course," Eve said with a smile, "It's my honor to have afternoon tea with the beautiful Miss Audrey."

"That's great!"

Eve looked at the girl who was cheering inwardly but remaining reserved on the outside, and smiled, "See you tomorrow, Miss Audrey."

"See you tomorrow, Miss Eve." After Eve left, Audrey returned to her room, lifted her skirt and turned around gracefully, her steps light as if dancing.
