The fairy maid cheers for her deceased master today.

On the surface, it seemed that Irene had no other choice.

In reality, Axe knew that he had no other choice.

So without the slightest hesitation, X immediately agreed to help Elena as much as possible, even though he didn't know what kind of help he was going to provide.

The reasoning is simple. Although Elena couldn't find any evidence, she didn't want to be actually targeted by Scotland Yard. Given her current situation, it was best to avoid attracting attention.

He wasn't afraid of going to jail... he was just afraid of people finding out that something was wrong with his body.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if someone found out that I was already dead one day.

Therefore, in order to completely stabilize Elena, X also had to help.

Now that the deal is done, Ex is ready to hear Elena's story first.

"Two months ago, the silverware, all that silverware... it all disappeared," Elena said, bowing her head.

Thinking about what had happened before, she felt heavy-hearted.

Ex frowned. "Which silverware? Start from the beginning."

"Two months ago, the Queen commissioned our church to escort a batch of precious ceremonial silverware." Irene took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Ex's eyes narrowed. "Explain in detail. From where to where?"

Elena nodded and continued, "That important batch of magical silverware needed to be transported from the ports along the Thames in East London to the West End Cathedral for temporary storage. This silverware was specially made; it was essential for the ceremonial rites at the end of the Crystal Palace World's Fair."

"What ceremony?"

"Divine blessing ceremony".

Ax had no recollection of it. But as a local, he shouldn't be unaware.

So he simply nodded: "Continue."

"This is an important matter for both the Church and the Royal Family, so we naturally attach great importance to it." Elena gave a wry smile. "We dispatched our most reliable Templar Knights and Holy See fairies, used the sturdiest carriages, and specifically chose to transport them during the day to avoid the dangers of the night."

You're one of the fairies of the Holy Path Society, aren't you?

"and then?"

"At two o'clock that afternoon, the goods were received, and the wagons set off on time along the Thames. According to the plan, they should have arrived at the cathedral at four o'clock in the evening. But halfway there, the caravan suddenly encountered an unusually thick fog, and then the wagons went out of control and plunged into the river, and the boxes also fell into the river."

Ex listened quietly without interrupting.

"The Templar Knights and the goblins immediately retrieved the box, but... all the silverware had vanished."

Elena took a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Ax. "This is a list of the silverware. The Knights Templar said that each of these silverware pieces has a special purpose and needs to be used in a specific place in the ceremony to ensure that the ceremony runs smoothly."

Ax took the list and looked at it carefully:

Moonlight Grail, Guardian's Shield, Purifying Key, Flowing Silver Dagger, Holy Water Bottle, Exorcising Silver Bell, Solar Phase Silver Disc, Guardian Silver Chain...

"So, this is a case of missing silverware?" Ex handed the list back to Elena. "You believe someone stole the silverware?"

"Definitely, certainly, and definitely. Silverware does not disappear without a trace."

"...We didn't see anyone at the scene?"

"Yes. There was no one else around at the time."

"The box was retrieved quickly, and there was no one in the river?"

"No. The Templar Knights and the Holy See fairies have all checked it. As soon as the box entered the water, a fairy jumped in to guard against the enemy."

But it still couldn't be prevented.

"So... it was magical theft?"

"Very likely."

No wonder Elena had her eye on me before.

The theft I demonstrated in the Crystal Palace perfectly illustrates this situation.

Hmm? But why did Irene say "very likely" instead of "100% certain"?

So Ax asked the question.

"It's simple... there were no magical fluctuations. But the theft in the Crystal Palace showed obvious traces of magical fluctuations."

Elena pointed to her ear.

"My ears are more sensitive to magic."

That would be difficult.

X himself did play a lot of detective puzzle games.

The problem is that most puzzle games are based on science, and very few involve magic.

Magic is not my specialty.

X took a deep breath: "Let's assume for now that it wasn't stolen using magic."

Why?

Why? Because if it's magic, I can't help you.

"Because you said you didn't detect any magical fluctuations. Are there any other clues at the scene?"

"The scene is gone... so I made a special trip to 'Rain World'."

Upon hearing this, X immediately perked up.

Compared to the silver theft, it was the eerie "rainy world" that truly filled Ax with awe and curiosity.

"'Rain World'...isn't that a place for testing alien contamination?"

That was the only way Ax could find out. After all, Deacon Samuel had previously said he had no comment.

But things are better now.

The real former Holy Path Fairy is right before my eyes.

This is a great opportunity to gather information.

"Yes, but the 'Rain World' is also the 'Reflection of the World,' a shared spiritual world for humans, fairies... and other species."

That's a bit hard to understand.

Fortunately, Elena provided some clarification in her subsequent remarks.

"It is well known that the collective unconscious objectively exists. So, if we combine the collective unconscious of humans, the collective unconscious of fairies, and the collective unconscious of other species... the superimposed collective unconscious of these three would be a massive entity..."

"So, 'Rain World'?"

"Strictly speaking, it is a manifestation of a massive collective unconscious world."

X is well aware of the collective unconscious.

Myths and legends from different countries and regions often feature stories with similar themes or plots, or characters with similar appearances. This is not a coincidence, but rather stems from common human nature. This aspect of human nature is known as the "collective unconscious."

In other words, to put it simply as a layman, it is the psychological gene that all humans share, inherited from their ancestors.

But in this world where fairies exist... the collective unconscious is not unique to humans.

They can even be stacked.

Thus, the world developed a much larger collective unconscious.

Then, after this collective unconscious world is visualized...

It... started raining?

X shook his head inwardly. This world was too mysterious; he knew far too little about it.

However, Axe agrees with the term "concretization".

Because he and Angel truly entered a new, real world through the "door".

"However, some people believe that the 'Rain World' is a remnant of the 'Rain Era.' But there isn't much evidence for this, and it's impossible to determine its authenticity."

"The Rain Era?"

"Well, that's beside the point. That's a topic related to God."

Elena also realized she had gone off-topic.

So she got back to the main topic and continued with her trip to the "Rain World".

"Anyway... I'm trying to find the crime scene in the 'Rainy World'..."

Ex instinctively stood up: "Is this even possible?"

"Yes, the 'Rainy World' is the 'reflection of the world,' a reflection of everyone's heart, and naturally a collection of all inner secrets. Therefore, sometimes, the truth can be found in the reflection."

If it were really that simple... then solving crimes in this world should be very easy.

After thinking for a moment, X asked again, "...But you didn't find it? No, since you were willing to enter the 'Rain World,' there must be a way to find the crime scene."

"I was almost there. But I was stopped by a high-ranking nobleman and his fairy. I fought desperately, but I couldn't defeat them."

AX rubbed his temples, tilted his head, and asked, "What does this mean? You mean, that high-ranking nobleman has also entered the 'Rain World'?"

"No, of course not, it wasn't a real person. But this means that a high-ranking nobleman... subconsciously resisted anyone approaching the crime scene and discovering the truth."
