"Do you know that if the people of Fontaine knew what you said today, your career as the Supreme Inquisitor would be over, and everyone would spurn you from now on!"

Those who speak are not the most powerful ones, but they are their people, and actually their opinions are what they mean.

In the current situation, sacrificing one person in exchange for peace in Fontaine is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice in their hearts, but they don't want to be the bad guy, so they let Navilette, who apparently holds the most power, take the blame. No matter how things develop later, they can get themselves out of it.

But they were very dissatisfied because Villette did not follow their script.

They are the best at using public opinion to control the people, and the previous statement was already a naked threat.

That Villette was silent. Although he could use his power to silence everyone, this was not his style.

Taking a deep breath, Villette spoke slowly.

"Since you all agree to follow my arrangements, then what I said before is my answer."

"I will not agree to sacrifice an innocent life to save more. The value of life should not be measured by quantity."

"Since this is my decision, I should bear all the consequences."

After hearing what Villette said, everyone was satisfied.

Although Navilette disagreed with their approach, it was fine as long as the other party took the blame.

And by holding on to Villette, they can also take this opportunity to gain more power from the other party.

Of course, they would not give Villette too much time, because the murderer might target them or their family members at any time.

"Well, Villette, the number of victims is increasing. Since you have rejected the other party's conditions, you must find out the other party's modus operandi as soon as possible."

In response, Villette just nodded slowly.

……

On the other side, Charlotte received Linny's reply, and then she came to Baisong Town according to Linny's instructions.

At this time, Linny and Linnet, who had been unable to find any clues, also found Navia, and the four met again.

After greeting each other, Navia took the three of them to a nearby restaurant.

"Charlotte, do you suspect that the dead people chosen by the murderer as targets are actually people who have recovered their past memories?"

Charlotte nodded to Navia.

"If that's not the case, it doesn't make sense why the victim attacked me when I was testing him."

"By the way, you may not know that one of the girls who was chosen as the target still got into trouble despite being protected by Miss [Servant]."

"The servant told me that she did not notice anything unusual before the girl got into trouble, and she had knocked her unconscious to ensure that her death was not caused by her consciousness."

"My Lord, Father..."

After hearing what Charlotte said, Linny and Linnet realized that Arlecchino was also involved in the case.

"If even [Father] doesn't notice anything unusual, then we really need to change our approach."

Linnie rubbed his chin as he thought about it and spoke, and Linnet nodded in agreement.

"In addition, the prisoner seems to have had private contact with Navilette and put forward conditions to the Fontaine officials, asking them to exchange Vache for the hostages."

"Before I left, although the discussion had not yet been completed, the Fontaine executives seemed to agree to the other party's request."

Charlotte added promptly.

After hearing the news, Navia clenched her fists immediately, and the faces of Luo Fan and Vinani appeared in her mind again.

She should have thought of it earlier. The other party did not launch a second attack because they wanted to take Luo Fan and Vinani as hostages.

If she had realized this earlier, those two people would not have been in trouble, and the dead people in the police station...

Navia was filled with remorse and anger, but at this moment, she felt more helpless about compromising with the murderer.

Under the personal leadership of Villette, the [Shadow Chasing Court], together with the [Rose Thorn Society] and other forces, were unable to find any trace of the other party. It was as if the other party had disappeared from this world, which made them so passive.

But even if you do what the other party says, will they definitely fulfill their promise?

Navia expressed her concerns, and then the other three fell silent.

After a long time, Linnie finally spoke to break the deadlock.

"This... is not something we should consider right now. Let's leave it to Villette. Trust the Supreme Inquisitor."

"And Linnet's and my [father] are also in Fontaine. This matter is probably related to the prophecy. I believe [father] will also take action."

"There are two things we need to do now. One is to find a way to test the girl chosen by the murderer as a target. The other is to monitor the anomalies in Baisong Town as much as possible. Since the other party wants to make a deal with the top leaders of Fontaine, they must have made preparations in advance."

No one else had any objection to Linnie's arrangement, but Charlotte expressed her inner confusion at this time.

"Actually, there is one thing I can't figure out. Why did the victim attack me at that time?"

To this day, Charlotte is still extremely puzzled by what happened at that time.

After listening to Charlotte's words, Linnie thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Perhaps [Homeland] is very important to them. Therefore, even if they become their target, they still want to kill you who knows the clues about [Homeland] in order to ensure the secrecy of [Homeland]."

Charlotte nodded, her doubts slightly relieved, and then she smiled bitterly and spoke.

"It seems that I am a little anxious."

"But speaking of which, Linny, do you have any suitable way to protect the victim?"

Facing the curious gazes from the crowd, Linnie just smiled mysteriously and then expressed his thoughts.

"How about making the victim disappear early?"

……

There was also a crime warning letter in Baisong Town, but because the police station had been attacked before, Sheriff Elton and his team members were all receiving intravenous drips in the hospital, and the original security team members of Baisong Town were directly dismissed by their superiors, so the crime warning letter was sent to a newspaper in Baisong Town.

Before, when the people from the Shadow Chasing Court were around, they could still try to protect the victims. But now that the Shadow Chasing Court has returned to Fontaine, the protection work can only be taken over by the Thorn Rose Society.

It is precisely because of this that Linny and Linnet were able to make all the arrangements with the help of Navia.

Soon, they arrived with their latest victim.

When Luo Fan saw the people from the Thorn Rose Society, he controlled his body skillfully and started crying. In fact, he was thinking happily about his previous skyrocketing points.

Impersonating Clorinde earned him a total of 20,000 points. Although part of the gain was because he told Funina about what had happened in Fontaine recently, the incident itself also earned him a lot of points.

Not bad, not bad, Funina is indeed my cash cow!

To be honest, this incident was quite a blow to Luo Fan. After all, he had worked so hard to arrange so many things, but in the end he could only earn more by scaring Funina. This could easily make him think of taking shortcuts!

However, everything has been arranged here, and it is not in Luo Fan's character to give up halfway. Luo Fan can only hope that this event will bring him enough points in the end.

That was a pleasant surprise for Villette, and the points gained this time should be much more than expected.

Of course, the other party might have the strength of a demon god, so he had to be more careful before he figured out Villette's background.

"Miss, please don't be sad."

"Don't worry, this time you will be protected by Miss Navia, the president of the Thorn Rose Society. You will be fine!"

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Luo Fan looked at Charlotte strangely, somewhat surprised that she had come to Baisong Town.

Originally, he wanted to transfer Linnie and Linnette from Baisong Town, but unexpectedly, Charlotte came instead.

As intelligence agents of the Fatui, Linny and Linnet have a keen sense of smell. In order to prevent any mistakes in subsequent plans, Luo Fan wants them to leave Baisong Town temporarily.

But forget it, it’s not a big problem.

The opponent was in the open while he was in the dark. It would be too embarrassing if they lost such a huge advantage.

"What are you talking about?"

"What's the point of being the president of the Thorn Rose Society? It's not like he hasn't protected other victims before. Do you think they survived?!"

"Miss, I hope that there will be someone around to say these sarcastic words to you when you are targeted by a murderer in the future!"

After hearing Luo Fan's words, Charlotte's expression suddenly froze.

My goodness, the other party’s words are too vicious!

Charlotte suppressed the thought of asking Linnie to find someone else to save and comforted herself.

At least, the other person has stopped crying now, right?

Charlotte, your efforts have paid off!

"Wow--"

Just as Charlotte was thinking this, the other party suddenly burst into tears.

"I have such a miserable life!"

"Not only was he targeted by the murderer."

"There's also an unscrupulous reporter who keeps making sarcastic remarks!"

“I’m so miserable!”

Hearing Luo Fan crying even louder than before, Charlotte got a few black lines on her forehead and couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Ahem... Miss Charlotte, leave this to me for now."

Myles came over with a strange look on his face and spoke to Charlotte.

Knowing that this was the other party reminding her that the time was almost up, Charlotte nodded and went to her specific position.

"Where is the president of the Thorn Rose Society?"

"Didn't you say you would protect me? Where is she?"

"That's how you [Rose Thorn Society] fool people, right?"

"Now that there is no guard to restrain you, you can do whatever you want?!"

Myles tried to calm the other man down, but it didn't help.

After hearing these words, the other members of the Thorn Rose Society couldn't help themselves and started to confront Luo Fan.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Luo Fan sprayed three people at once without any pressure, and for a while, many people from the [Rose Thorn Society] could not help but join the battlefield.

They didn't know Navia's plan. Although they were also a little puzzled as to why Navia hadn't shown up yet, they would never allow Luo Fan to slander their president.

When Charlotte saw that Luo Fan was not at a disadvantage even after spraying seven people at once, she couldn't help but feel deep respect for him, and then she pulled the rope at hand at the right time.

……

Chapter 30 Mr. Linnie, you saved me. Thank you so much.

Luo Fan, who was always paying attention to Charlotte's situation, naturally saw all her actions, but he did not reveal any flaws on the surface.

Luo Fan was a little curious. It was obvious that Charlotte and the other three had some kind of plan, otherwise Charlotte would not have been the only one to appear until now.

Therefore, Luo Fan continued to spray seven at a time, while keeping an eye on the movements around him.

Suddenly, "snowflakes" began to fall from the sky.

Looking closely, I saw that it was countless playing cards flying and falling.

This situation had never happened before. The people from the Thorn Rose Society were stunned at first, and then immediately used their bodies to block Luo Fan behind them.

Although the other party's words were really mean, they would not take the opportunity to retaliate against him.

At this time, Luo Fan also exclaimed at the right time, and then hid behind everyone.

"What is going on? Has the time come?"

One of them looked around nervously and asked at the same time.

"Not yet. It seems there is still some time."

someone replied.

"No, someone has slowed down the time!"

Silver shouted somewhat exaggeratedly, his acting skills really need to be improved.

Fortunately, no one else noticed this abnormality at this time and immediately started to act according to their previous preparations.

But Luo Fan noticed it.

Time was slowed down?

Luo Fan looked at Silver and probably understood what tricks those four guys were playing.
