Jian gently held the girl in his arms.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was a slight sobbing.

--split line--

After the adjustments were completed, Olga Marie struggled to break free from Ash's arms.

"...I have to go back first." The girl said in a hoarse voice with red eyes.

The train just stopped.

"Gray, please take care of her." Ash nodded, then looked at El-Melloi II and pointed his finger out the window to signal us to go out and talk.

Outside the door, a flight attendant was checking the corridor. When he saw Ash and El-Melloi II come out, he showed no intention of going forward to ask them.

It seemed that fighting among passengers had become commonplace.

Olga Marie was still arranging her manners in the room.

Many people had already set up tables and put food on the grass outside.

Ash and El-Melloi II stepped out of the train, the breeze caressing their cheeks.

"Go to the appointment tonight, although I don't know if the other party will show up." Ash said to El-Melloi II simply.

"Of course." El-Melloi II nodded. "Now that we've come this far, I must accept this invitation."

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents next." Jian smiled confidently, "Because I will take action."

"what--!"

Just as he finished speaking, the girl's scream broke the slightly relaxed atmosphere.

The confident smile on Jian's face froze.

Chapter 18: Head

Looking at Olga Marie slumped beside the headless corpse, Jian rubbed his brows helplessly.

No.

After you kill someone and disguise yourself as someone else, is the body still hidden in the same place?

Hmm? Am I also infected by El-Melloi II?

Jian looked at his hand rubbing his brow in shock.

"Ah, Miss Ash." Gray, who was at a loss, saw Ash and El-Melloi II coming and hurried forward. "I came to Olga Marie's room and opened the door and saw..."

"fine."

"Teresa..."

Olga Marie, who was sitting next to the corpse, seemed to be mentally prepared and did not collapse. She just knelt on the ground and murmured Theresa's name.

People who heard the noise came one after another.

Among them was Caleb.

Noticing Jian's inquiring gaze, Caleb nodded.

You shouldn't have to worry about that slash.

Just in case, it’s better to leave a mark on Caleb to make it easier to water him.

Jian moved his fingers, and a flash of blue magical light appeared.

"Miss, may I perform an autopsy?" Caleb slowly stepped forward. "Although I'm not a professional, I'm familiar with these types of bodies. Perhaps I can find something. How about that?"

Olga Marie, lying on the ground, looked up at Caleb. After a while, she stood up and walked to the side of Ash, nodding silently.

Caleb took the body and began to examine it.

"This kind of thing happened."

A new voice came from the door.

"You're here too?" El-Melloi II said without turning his head. He knew without even looking that it was Kanono Hisiri who came.

"After all, a murder has occurred, and as someone from the Law and Politics Department, we have to come and investigate." Hanano Hisiri walked forward with her signature smile.

"Come to think of it, Miss Olga Marie and the deceased Ms. Theresa were with you just now, weren't they? They say a fight broke out."

"We were the ones being attacked."

"Really?" Kanono Hishiri said with a look of fake surprise. "It seems the criminal even summoned a Ghostliner. You guys are amazing for surviving like that."

Having said that, Hanano Hishiri glanced at Ash who was standing with Olga Marie.

This guy, has he seen everything that happened before?

What is this female fox going to do?

El-Melloi II thought with a headache.

Jian, unaware that he had become the topic of discussion, was searching for something in the room.

Since the murder was carried out here, the head should be here as well.

Jian narrowed his eyes and searched a little lower in the room.

Ah, found it.

but...

Jian glanced at Olga Marie, who was standing next to him with her weight leaning towards him.

Olga Marie glanced back immediately "What's wrong?"

I just opened the door and saw a dead body. Is everything okay now?

Seeing the surprised expression on Ash's face, Olga Marie crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly. "Don't underestimate me. Did you discover something by looking at me all of a sudden?"

"Can't it just be caring about you?"

"The look in your eyes just now, as if you were searching for something, doesn't look like you care about me." Olga Marie tilted her head and looked at Jian with a squint.

"Is it that obvious?" Jian touched Olga Marie's head.

"You found something but you looked at me. Is it something related to me?" Olga Marie shook off Ash's hand and continued, "Or is it Theresa's head?"

At this point, Olga Marie's eyes showed more sadness.

Although in grief, the girl still stood straight.

"I will not let go of the man who murdered Theresa. Tell me."

Jian opened his mouth and felt that the girl was different from what he had remembered.

Facing such an Olga Marie, Ash could only have one answer.

"it is good."

At this moment, Caleb stood up.

"The time of death was... yesterday."

"...I slept exceptionally well last night." Olga Marie moved closer to Ash and whispered softly.

"Hmm... Why was the deceased's head taken away? Is it needed as a medium for some magic?" Caleb stroked his chin and thought.

"She has vision of the future."

"Oh?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was a little surprised.

"I see. Then the murderer might be trying to steal or use her magic eye." Caleb touched his eyelids, remembering his previous experience of suddenly appearing in the lounge compartment.

"You have the future vision but you didn't see your own death?" El-Melloi II pushed up his glasses.

"I can't see it with my past vision," Caleb said after a moment's silence. "Perhaps she was protected in some way. I could see her until she sat in this chair, but the scene before and after her head and body were separated was blurry and unclear."

"Hmm... Is that why you're on this train? You're not likely to get a Mystic Eye transplant at your age." Yvette, who had come to join in the fun, winked cutely. "Even if you get a Mystic Eye transplant at this age, you probably wouldn't be able to adapt."

"Yes, it's not something worth keeping secret. It will appear on the auction list later anyway." Caleb shrugged.

"Since you can't see it with your past vision, then maybe it's the same for her with her future vision."

El-Melloi II's voice echoed faintly in the room.

"If she had noticed, she would have taken some measures, at least warning her master, Olga Marie."

"Measures have been taken." Jian walked Olga Marie to a corner of the room and suddenly spoke.

"Olga Marie, look over there, is there anything different?" In everyone's puzzled eyes, Jian patted Olga Marie's shoulder and pointed in front of them.

Everyone looked in the direction Jian pointed and found... nothing there.

"Go and touch it." Jian said in Olga Marie's ear.

Olga Marie looked at Jian in confusion, walked over, and slowly probed the air with her hand.

There was nothing there, only a faint chill flowing through it. Despite this, she cautiously extended her hand and suddenly felt a strange throbbing pain.

"Is there a spell here? Is it reacting to my magic seal?"

Olga Marie looked back at Jian, who walked over with his palms open, as if ready to catch something.

At the same time, Ash nodded encouragingly to Olga Marie.

Olga Marie continued to move her fingers cautiously, turning them as if they were a door lock, but when she was about halfway around, she stopped.

"Stuck. I'll probably need a secret next."

While thinking about the password, the girl seemed to recall something and her expression was a little tearful.

Soon after, she began to chant a short spell code.

"Little Silly Mary, straighten your back."

The bent fingertips made that final half turn, like a key opening a door lock.

In an instant, an object was spit out from the void and fell into Jian's hands.

At the same time, a pendant fell to the ground.

"Caleb..."

Chapter 19 Do you want to feel it?

"Caleb..."

Olga Marie's eyes widened when she saw the object in Ash's hand.

"Wha...what?"

She managed to hold back from screaming.

At the same time, the name whispered from Theresa's head surprised everyone.

Except for the panicked Olga Marie, everyone's eyes turned to Caleb.

Who would have thought that the priest who took the initiative to perform the autopsy would become the main suspect in the next second.

"I see." The corners of Hanano Hishiri's mouth curled up again. "This is very similar to the murder that happened seven years ago. The head was also removed."

"If a similar case had happened before, I should have remembered it." The magician watching nearby spoke up.

"That's because our Law and Politics Department blocked the news." Hanano Hisiri raised his wide sleeves and admitted it bluntly.

"The Holy Church was also involved back then," Kanono Hisiri adjusted her glasses. "Also, the investigator at the time... Caleb, was that you?"

If Theresa's last words made Caleb the biggest suspect, then what Kanono Hishri said basically pointed out that Caleb was the murderer.

You're there when things like this happen.

"Caleb Frampton."

She called his name again.
