Catalina took a deep breath and spoke with a serious expression and a hint of apology.

"No, please take me away!"

As she spoke each word, Lianna's body trembled slightly, and even her voice had a hint of cracking.

Katerina froze in place and blinked.

what?

At the same time, Lianna's cheeks turned light red, she covered her lower body with both hands, and continued to speak shyly:

"They tied my hands and feet with ropes, tortured me with evil instruments, and did excessive things to my body..."

"You damned inspectors, you must really enjoy doing this to others, that's why you always want to arrest them, right?"

"No need to hide it anymore, I understand everything!"

"Please let me take Mr. Hohenheim's place!"

"Even if you don't intend to arrest him, please arrest me!"

"Please!"

Catalina stood there in a daze, staring at Lianna's emotional words, unable to recover for a long time.

ha?

She tilted her head slightly, not understanding the situation.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Gu Qinghan looked at Lianna's current state, covered his face with one hand, and sighed.

It must be said that this disease is completely uncontrollable once it occurs.

Chapter 95: The Result of the Trial

Ten hours ago, the trial scene.

After Katarina finished her statement, the high-ranking shadow finally made the final judgment.

"The following is a preliminary judgment against Hohenheim, to be executed by Katerina."

The ethereal voice, as if it came directly from the mind, lifted the spirits of everyone present.

Catalina secretly clenched her fists, her eyes solemn.

The next judgment will determine the final fate of Mr. Hohenheim.

"Since Hohenheim has lost his memory and his birthplace cannot be found, we will not pursue his nationality."

"However, whether he is loyal to pure love must be thoroughly investigated."

"Knight Princess Katarina, I order you to apply for the Love Punishment Gun and conduct a comprehensive physical and mental examination on Hohenheim."

"Yes!"

Catalina was stunned at first, then her face became serious.

There are only three love punishment guns in the entire Pure Love Kingdom.

The use of such a taboo item obviously means that the situation is very serious.

Catalina opened her mouth, but ultimately did not reveal the doubts in her heart.

The high-ranking black shadow smiled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, as if he could see through Katarina's inner thoughts.

"If Hohenheim remains loyal to pure love, the Love Punishment Gun will prove his innocence, and you will protect him."

"We must not allow his people who believe in pure love to fall into the hands of pleasure."

"Knight Princess Katarina, I will appoint you as his protector. Please ensure his personal safety."

"At the same time, you need to wait and see until the members of the Empire of Joy are exposed, and then arrest them one by one."

At this point, the high-ranking black shadow snorted, seemingly very dissatisfied with the actions of the Joyful Empire.

"I understand." Catalina nodded seriously, with joy flashing in her eyes.

Catalina naturally trusted Mr. Hohenheim.

Being able to protect his safety is an acceptable outcome for Catalina.

However, the high-ranking black shadow's voice suddenly became gloomy, and then he continued in a cold tone:

"But if Punishing the Gun shows that he has committed the sin of pleasure, Hohenheim must also be given the punishment he deserves."

Having said that, the high-positioned black shadow deliberately paused.

Catalina could clearly feel that the shadow's gaze was fixed on her.

"Knight Princess Katarina, you will recruit him into the team and make him a formal supervisor."

"Next, you will be dispatched at a high frequency to investigate this incident."

"But this is just an illusion, a ruse."

"On the surface, you are working together to search for spies from the Empire of Pleasure."

"Behind the scenes, you need to observe him secretly and collect evidence to convict him."

"When he comes to lure out the top brass of the Joy Empire and becomes useless, you will be the one to get rid of him."

"Do you understand it?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present admired the high-ranking black shadow's strategy and praised the ingenuity of the strategy.

It can capture the spies of the Empire of Pleasure and deal with Hohenheim at the same time, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, Catalina felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Especially since the moment she watched the punishment gun self-destruct after testing Mr. Hohenheim.

Click! Click!

The sound of horse hooves broke Catalina's memories.

Catalina held the reins and rode on, hastening aimlessly through the wilderness.

It was not until now that she came to her senses. A long time had passed since the inspection of the punishment gun was completed.

Looking up, the sunset dyed half the sky, licking everything like a tongue of fire.

On the other side, you can see the starry night sky.

However, the red glow and the dark night were so distinct that there was no room for compatibility between them.

Just like the fate of two people, standing on completely opposite sides.

"We can no longer rely on our tacit understanding to fight side by side like we did not long ago."

Muttering to herself, Catalina smiled bitterly, and her figure walked out of the glow and disappeared into the darkness.

From today on, a clear rift appeared between her and Mr. Hohenheim.

……

at the same time.

Love City, No. 38.

As night falls, many people can be seen walking together on the clean streets.

Men and women, in twos and threes.

Dieter Street is quite lively tonight.

There are many food stalls on the roadside, with steam rising from their mouths. The shouts of customers are heard one after another, and the fragrance wafts through the alley.

Lianna followed Gu Qinghan carefully, not understanding why Gu Qinghan held her hand and walked aimlessly on the street after Catalina left.

"Um...Mr. Hohenheim, where are you going?" Lianna asked timidly.

The two of them have been circling nearby since a while ago.

"Take a walk while the weather is nice tonight."

With a faint smile, Gu Qinghan looked back at Lianna's slightly red face, and then continued to hold her hand and move forward.

Many people around cast their eyes over to them; the two looked like a couple at this moment.

Lianna felt her face getting hot and she quickly looked down at the road beneath her feet.

Come to think of it, something similar seemed to have happened before.

That was when she had just moved to Zhiai City and was not familiar with the nearby streets, so she reluctantly asked Gu Qinghan for help.

Looking back now, a lot of things really happened after that...

"Be careful, there is a stone under your feet, don't trip over it."

At this moment, a whisper came from her ear, which made Lianna regain her distracted mind and pay attention to her feet again.

After that battle, the road became bumpy.

That is why Gu Qinghan held Lianna's hand tightly today, fearing that she might have an accident.

Lianna pursed her lips and looked at where their palms were connected, feeling an inexplicable warmth.

"You've been walking for so long, do you need to take a break?"

At this time, Gu Qinghan turned around with a smile, looked at Lianna and smiled.

Lianna was stunned at first, then quickly shook her head.

"No, Mr. Hohenheim, don't worry about me."

The two continued to walk aimlessly on the street.

I passed by snack stalls, saw small vendors, and the pigeon soup shop that I still remember clearly.

This time, Lianna didn't miss it.

The two of them followed the same route as their first date and bought a lot of interesting little things along the way.

I originally had nothing in my hands, but before I knew it, I was carrying packages of varying sizes.

Vegetables, fruits, and many snacks.

"Huh, what is that?"

At this moment, Lianna paused, staring at the narrow and dark street not far away, and stood there in a daze.

There was a dark alley in front of me.

Memories of the past began to gradually awaken.

The two had a brief disagreement here that day.

When Liana saw the alley, she mistakenly thought that Mr. Hohenheim was going to do something unspeakable to her...

Of course, in the end, it turns out that Hohenheim is not that kind of person.

But now, when he brought Lianna here again, he had a different feeling.

Why would he bring me to a place like this in the middle of the night?

Could it be that he really... ?

Thinking of this, Lianna felt her heartbeat quicken inexplicably and her face began to get hot.

"Well, Mr. Hohenheim."

Suddenly, Lianna spoke up.

Gu Qinghan paused, turned around slowly, and then looked at Lianna and her pure and sincere face in the hazy moonlight.

"Although it may be rude to ask you this, I still don't understand..."

"You brought me into the alley. What do you want me to do?"

The orange magic light fell and shone into Lianna's eyes, sparkling with light.

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, then he smiled meaningfully.

"Ms. Lianna, you are as imaginative as ever."
