Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 64: Devout Believers

"Do you believe it now?" Ruirui asked, licking his front paw.

The girl's head shook stiffly from side to side like a clockwork robot.

"How could that sir throw the Lord's holy emblem on the ground like this?" Sherman gradually came to his senses, tightly grasped the witch's holy emblem, held it close to his heart, took a deep breath and questioned, but in order to avoid being discovered, his voice was very low.

Looking at his pious appearance, he must be a member of the Rose Society, and he is actually a devout believer.

In fact, she was a very serious cat at the beginning and was respectful to Eve, but Eve was really out of touch.

"As expected," Ruirui rolled her eyes silently in her heart, "distance makes beauty."

"Besides, that gentleman lives in the Lord's kingdom. How could I easily meet him?" Sherman continued to question, holding the witch's holy emblem tightly in his hand, staring at the black cat vigilantly.

Ruirui thought of the small, somewhat messy house and fell silent.

After hesitating for a moment, Ruirui decided to help Eve preserve her image in front of her followers and said, "I... am indeed not that lady. I am her descendant."

"I didn't mean to drop the holy emblem. I just didn't hold it firmly in my hand and it dropped accidentally."

Sherman stared at Rarity suspiciously, "Really?"

"Really." Ruirui said helplessly.

"I need to confirm it before I can believe you," Sherman said seriously, "Tomorrow... uh... I'm not very convenient these days, so come back to me later."

"You'll come here again tomorrow night, right?" Ruirui sighed inwardly. "Copying by hand is not only tiring but also slow. I'll bring a camera tomorrow night and take some photos."

"No, no," Sherman shook her head. "The noise and flash of the camera will alert the security personnel, and the words won't be clear in such a dim environment."

And it would be terrible if there was any problem with the camera you brought, Sherman added silently in his heart.

"I have a way to block out all light and sound in this room. If you're worried, you can bring your own camera." Ruirui said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. I'm just a kind cat passing by. I'll bring my camera tomorrow night, and you can bring your own, but cameras are not cheap."

Ruirui jumped lightly to the window, looked back at her and said, "Goodbye."

Backlund Cherwood District
"I'm back," Eve, wearing a cat-head lace apron, propped up her hands on the dining table, proudly showing off like a peacock with her head held high. "Look, the Dixie grilled fish I made myself is definitely not inferior to the one at Bayam's restaurant."

Ruirui didn't say anything, but looked at the layout of the room carefully as if she was seeing the house for the first time.

Eve, who didn't wait for Rarity's praise, tilted her head and looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Your kingdom of God is truly unique."

Ruirui suddenly sighed.

Eve was confused, her ocean-blue eyes filled with doubt, and the smile on her lips gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion on her face.

Eve rubbed her hair with her fingers, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What happened to my kingdom of God?"

"Nothing." Ruirui wagged her tail and said lazily, "Before, they said they were as good as Miss Audrey's chef, but now it's Bayam's restaurant. Which restaurant in Bayam is it?"

Eve pointed with her fingers and said nonchalantly, "Miss Audrey's family has more than one chef. Maybe there is one whose cooking skills are not so good." The chefs in Earl Hall's family were all hired by the Earl at high salaries. They are not only highly skilled in cooking but also good at developing new dishes. Many aristocratic families are like this. Some dishes are exclusive secret recipes.

"My cooking skills are also very good. I have no problem being a chef in a restaurant." Eve put one hand on her waist and pointed at the dishes on the table.

Ruirui squatted there and looked at Him quietly.

"What's that look in your eyes? Okay, okay," Eve raised her hands above her head in a gesture of surrender. "I admit I was bragging," she muttered at the end, "Isn't it normal that I can't compare to Miss Audrey's chef?"

……

The next day

Sherman was wearing a white dress that made her look even more charming. She stood in the store listening to the clerk introduce the various cameras and their prices. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the handle of her handbag, and from time to time she touched her hair, trying to keep a calm face.

It’s really expensive!

Moreover, she is unemployed now. Even if she bites the bullet and buys a camera, her living expenses will become a big problem in the future.

"Thank you," Sherman forced a smile. "I need some time to think about choosing the right camera for me."

"Okay, miss," the clerk smiled a standard professional smile, and her attitude was still humble and polite, which made people feel comfortable. "I look forward to seeing you again. I wish you a pleasant day."

"Goodbye." Sherman nodded to the clerk and hurried out of the store. Her steps were fast, but she still maintained a ladylike demeanor and did not look like she was running away at all.

The girl glanced behind her inconspicuously. A thin man wearing a silk hat was following her closely. He must be a novice. His tracking skills were not very advanced and could be considered poor compared to professional assassins.

This is a night watchman.

Not only does she have a night watchman behind her, but there are also night watchmen in the apartment she rents.

For some unknown reason, a group of night watchmen came to the apartment where Sherman rented early in the morning. Although they were not there to check on her, Sherman still felt very nervous.

Fortunately, the person following him was a novice, and it seemed that the Nighthawks hadn't yet discovered that he was a member of a secret organization. However, they were hanging around in the area of his rented apartment, and he didn't know how long it would take to investigate. If they stayed for a long time, they might be exposed, but if they moved, it would seem too deliberate.

Sherman thought for a while and decided not to go back to Wendel Street in the North District.

She had always been very cautious and did not leave anything that would reveal her identity in the apartment she rented. Instead, she hid it in a house on Daffodil Street that she rented under a fake identity. She was not worried that the night watchmen would find anything in her house, as she had nothing to hide.

In this case, it is better to stay away from the Night Watchmen to reduce the risk of exposure.

Then continue looking for a job.

She had been looking for a job these past few days. Although she would return to Backlund after completing her mission, and her savings were enough to support her until her return, it was unusual for her not to look for a job after being unemployed and having no source of income and not much savings. She didn't want to appear unusual and arouse the suspicion of the Nighthawks.

Klein followed Sherman closely. The captain, Lady Cecima, Leonard, and the new "Scroll Professor" Dana Johnson were investigating the Black Cat case on Wendel Street in the North District. Frye was guarding Chanis Gate, and Conley was conducting his daily inspections of the cemetery... In short, everyone had work, so this commission fell on Klein and Luo Yao, who were temporarily unemployed.

Sent by the Backlund Archdiocese as a temporary replacement for Old Neil, Dana arrived the day after Old Neil left. Although only a temporary replacement, the Backlund Archdiocese likely wanted him to assist in the investigation of the Black Cat case, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to send a Sequence 6.
