Sensing this breath, the Cardinal suddenly pulled the reins and turned to look in the direction of Qiang Yin.

Holy Advent Sect...

A single person possesses the emblems of both the Holy Advent Cult and the Savior Cult...

Church Integration...

Even though they knew it was a conspiracy, they had to eat it whole.

Qiang Yin stepped on one foot and rode directly onto one of the iron warhorses. He turned around and said, "Go after her."

"Yes."

The reins of the warhorse that Qiang Yin was riding were cut off in an instant, and the two men split into two groups and began to pursue, but their speed was much slower.

……

At this time, Charles was running towards the east district where the buildings were more chaotic.

Her Lv.3 agility prevented her from being caught up, and she was even gradually widening the distance between her and Lafayette.

If he kept running like this, Lafayette would never catch up with her in his lifetime.

But the problem is that Charles' physical strength cannot support her running for twenty minutes.

But she didn't intend to really run away, she just needed to delay time.

With the frontal lobe in her pocket, the other party couldn't touch her if they wanted to keep the frontal lobe.

And just now, she felt a terrible heavy sound coming from the direction where Qiang Yin's carriage left - Qiang Yin probably had already noticed the movement here and was rushing towards this side.

[Headhunter] and [Fatal Blood Roland] had both been scrapped by the "Super Limit Gear", which directly destroyed two of Charles's combat methods.

"Ho...ho..."

After running at top speed for almost five minutes, Ciel felt like her lungs were about to burst. She slowed down, but the pursuer behind her was getting closer and closer...

Moreover, she could vaguely hear the sound of heavy iron hooves coming from behind her.

No... Qiang Yin might catch up with her... She can't let Qiang Yin see her.

Another buzzing sound came from behind, it was the heavy sound made by Qiang Yin. Through recollection, her position was once again exposed in Qiang Yin's mind - now it can be confirmed that the second pursuer is Qiang Yin himself!

6 minutes... this is the echo of the strong sound sweeping through the interval...

Ciel didn't know if this was the limit of Qiang Yin, but she had no choice but to take this gamble.

Charles deliberately slowed down his pace so that Lafayette could follow more closely.

After turning a corner, Charles went straight into an alley where horses could not go forward. With last night's reconnaissance, she was no longer completely unfamiliar with the roads in the East District.

Following the route she remembered, she rushed towards the Holy Church area.

1 minutes...3 minutes...5 minutes...

Ciel could hardly feel her legs, and behind her, she could hear Lafayette's roar.

"(Pharos) How dare you play tricks on me, little brat!"

Soon... it will be here...

Charles turned back to the main road, put his hands in his pockets again, and turned the [Overdrive Gear]

Overlimit——【Agility】

Almost instantly, fine silver cracks appeared in Charles's blood vessels and muscles. These cracks seemed to inject endless strength into her, allowing her to temporarily forget the pain and fatigue in her muscles.

But the side effect is that [Dexterity] will be scrapped after 1 minute.

And Ciel's physical fitness will completely degenerate to a level that is even worse than that of an ordinary girl - her muscles have begun to dissolve.

As long as she exceeds the limit, there will be almost no accident that the muscles in her thighs will dissolve directly, leaving her with no strength to move even a step - if her lungs can still support it.

"what's the situation?"

Lafayette was shocked to see Charles suddenly speed up.

She had already expected a "detective" to be able to run for such a long time, but she hadn't expected that he could actually speed up even further... What kind of potion was this? Or was it a sealed object?

When turning into the next alley, Rafayev stopped at the entrance because she saw that Charles had finally stopped and was standing there, breathing heavily.

"It really looks like a little deer..."

Lafayette approached Charles step by step and said slowly, "It's a pity that you have reached a dead end."

"30 seconds..."

Ciel breathed heavily, keeping track of the time he had left.

If Qiang Yin's echo scan is really 6 minutes, then Qiang Yin should perform another scan when there are about 5 seconds left of his super dexterity.

There are 25 seconds left for Super Limit [Agility], and 20 seconds left for Strong Sound Scan...

"what are you waiting for?"

The headless Lafayette let out a dull sound from her chest, and she did not take another step forward because she was also worried that she might fall into an ambush.

After all, the red-haired girl opposite was so strange that she could actually cause harm to her.

Moreover, the strong sound is coming soon. If you have the ability of the strong sound, you can capture the opponent quickly.

"Wait for the strong sound."

Ciel spoke slowly.

Qiang Yin, who was unable to ride a horse in the alley at the moment, must have lost them without scanning. Now, Charles had to wait for Qiang Yin's next scan before he could continue his action.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to make it through the remaining few minutes.

"Uu——"

A strange whistling sound came from Lafayette's chest. She slowly swung her arm, and a throbbing red tumor appeared in Lafayette's hand. She held the tumor and said, "It's okay. I've already called him for you."

"Then...thank you?"

The heavy sound of horse hooves seemed to sound again following the whistle, accompanied by a burst of collision sounds, and thick smoke was rising at the entrance of the alley.

"15 seconds... scan for 10 seconds..."

In the dust and fog at the alley entrance, Charles saw a tall figure.

I can't wait any longer, I have to take a gamble.

"Don't worry, there's still a second game."

Click——

Charles reached into his pocket, pressed the button of his pocket watch, raised the corner of his mouth, and crashed directly into the shed beside him.

boom--

She smashed the thin wooden door directly, quickly opened the tunnel, and jumped down.

Qiang Yin had just arrived behind Lafayette and quickly asked, "Lafayette? What's going on?"

"Sir Qiangyin, someone killed Windsor and stole that thing..."

Lafayette said as she quickly rushed into the shed, her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the tunnel below.

This kind of place, there are traps at first glance...

Someone stole that thing?

Thinking of the cultists who had just tried to stop him... Qiang Yin connected the two things together.

Is this the Key Man’s plan…is he finally going to take action?

Did he even realize that he knew something?

This feeling of being seen through made Qiang Yin feel a chill down his spine - he didn't know how long it had been since he had felt this way. Usually, he was the "prophet" who saw through everything.

"Wait a minute."

Looking at the tunnel inside the shed, Qiang Yin raised his hand and stopped Lafayette.

He was also worried that there might be danger inside... and gifts from the Key Master.

He admitted that he was scared...

The Key Man was definitely the toughest opponent he had ever encountered in his life...

After a few seconds, an illusory button appeared in Qiangyin's hand. He quickly pressed the button, and a dull heavy sound quickly spread out from him.

Everything around him was reconstructed in his mind, including a phantom with a panicked face running in the sewer, knocking on a secret door and preparing to enter.

There's no trap... This is her lair, and she's cornered.

"Walk."

Qiang Yin jumped directly down the secret passage and rushed directly towards the girl's location. This was a rare clue in the investigation over the past few days. Even if it was dangerous, he had to chase her and find out what was going on.

Lafayette also jumped down quickly and followed Qiang Yin's pace. The two of them passed through the dark room below and ran along the sewer passage towards the girl's "hiding place".

At this time, Charles, who had already opened the door of the secret room, looked at the empty hiding place of the Holy Advent Sect and breathed slightly.

Over there, the sound of chasing footsteps echoed in the sewers. In a few seconds, they would catch up with him...

However, the 2 seconds of [Echo of Time Lv.15] have already ended.

hum-

Ciel's figure shattered into a silver halo.

The next moment, her figure appeared where she was 15 seconds ago - at the door of the dilapidated shack.

At this time, Qiang Yin and Lafayette had already rushed to the entrance of the secret door. Qiang Yin looked at the secret room inside, took a deep breath, and said: "Search, it's inside, how did she hide her breath?"

……

Charles took one step at a time, holding onto the wall, and walked through the alley, heading towards a place far away from the shed.

She had only walked for less than ten seconds when a strong feeling of dizziness came over her. Charles's trembling legs could no longer support her to make any movement. She knelt down tremblingly, and only used one hand to support the ground to avoid falling down.

A small sound of footsteps came from the front. Charles slowly raised his head. In her blurred vision, she saw a child wearing dirty and ragged clothes and with an indistinguishable personality, who was looking at Charles with some fear.

When the child met Ciel's gaze, he was slightly startled. Then, he slowly squatted down and said weakly, "(Orlando) Do you... need help, big sister?"

It's a little girl.

Charles knelt on the ground and raised his hand reluctantly, trying to keep the child away to avoid being affected.

But the next second, a familiar feeling came over her, and she felt her body rapidly dissipating.

"Side effect" [time disorder], here it comes.

Charles's original fiery red hair was instantly covered by long sky blue hair with slightly curled ends. His clothes also changed instantly, and the feeling of weakness caused by muscle melting also disappeared instantly.

A smile appeared on Ciel's face.

The bet was right!

Charles looked back and saw no pursuers. She knew she had gotten rid of them.

At least for the next 6 minutes, without the accent scan, they would have no chance of finding Charles.

And six minutes later?

Sorry, the person has left.

Charles stood up with the help of the wall, smiled, reached into his pocket, and took out a one-shilling silver coin as if by magic, and placed it on the forehead of the child who looked up at him.

"(Orlando) He who sees it shall have it."

Charles dusted himself off, walked leisurely past the little girl and left the alley.

……

"Save, No. 8."

No. 8: Detective Charles

【Reality】

【Comment: Escape! Awesome!】

Although the first part was so steady that I almost fell asleep, the final, heart-wrenching escape definitely exceeded my expectations. "Detective" is still a bit too steady, I'll use it less next time.
