Chapter 53
[Activate the special task "Chasing the Murderer"]

[Mission objective: Find the real culprit of a series of events]

【You have been involved in a mysterious murder, find out the real murderer and find out the truth】

If Duanmuhuai just wanted to use this world of soul fragments in the subspace to sneak into Toddheim to find the Crown of Witchcraft at first, then now he is obviously more interested in this mysterious murderer.He had a premonition that this person might have some kind of inexplicable relationship with Augis. Although Augis herself didn't know the reason, it was certain that things were obviously not that simple.

It is not easy to find a doll in such a big city, after all, there is a shortage of manpower, but Duanmu Huai has his own way.

"Excuse me, can this really be found?"

Standing on the top of the bell tower of the church, Lorena looked at Duanmuhuai curiously, and asked involuntarily.

"Although it is not [-]% able to find it, there is a certain success rate."

Duanmuhuai answered after glancing at Augis who was sitting on his lap and silently staring at the city.He certainly wouldn't be patrolling the streets like the other knights.After all, this is inefficient and completely hit and miss.So he directly activated the reconnaissance servo skull to scan the entire city. In this way, not only can he get a detailed map of the holy city, but he can also quickly lock the target if there is any abnormality.

Fortunately, due to the killings during this period, the church has imposed a curfew, so some trouble can be avoided.

but………

"Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to come with us?"

Duanmu Huai looked at Lorena in front of her, and asked.When he learned that Duanmuhuai and the others were also helping to search for the murderer, the priest offered to help them, although Duanmuhuai really felt that it would be much easier to search if someone from the church was around.But... is she okay?

After all, no matter how you look at it, the lady in front of her is just a weak girl priest with no strength to restrain her.

"Ah, please don't worry, Lord Knight."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, Lorena, who was reading the scriptures, also closed the book, clenched her fists and looked at him with a smile.

"I am also a believer in the gods, and I also have the power to protect myself and purify evil!"

"Ah...well, that's good."

Since Lorena was so confident, Duanmuhuai naturally didn't say anything, but turned his head again and looked at the scenery in front of him.

Soon, the sky gradually became dark.After all, according to the previous rules, the murder puppet always acts at night, sometimes in the first half of the night, sometimes in the second half of the night.Because the case happened again yesterday, when night fell today, the streets of the entire city were almost empty, only those heavily armed knights were still patrolling around, looking for the murderer.

"Hmm...it doesn't look like anything has changed."

Staring at the map displayed on the helmet, Duanmu Huai murmured to himself in a low voice. At this moment, in front of Duanmu Huai, the map of the entire city has basically been completely displayed.It can be seen that there are small white dots moving on the street. These are knights on patrol. Other than that, there is no abnormal movement.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the vigil was a very difficult thing. In fact, even Duanmu Huai was somewhat sleepy.And Lorena was leaning against the pillar next to her, and she had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed.

I don't know how long it has passed...Suddenly, an unknown wave signal appeared on the map in front of Duanmuhuai's eyes!

"coming!"

Seeing this signal, Duanmu Huai immediately lifted his spirits and stood up.

"Okiss, Miss Lorena! There is movement, let's go!"

"Huh? Ah, yes!"

Lorena, who was awakened by Duanmu Huai, blinked, and then quickly gave an answer.As for Augis, when Duanmu Huai stood up, she had already got into his arms skillfully.Then Duanmuhuai hugged Augis with one hand, and stretched out the other to wrap around Lorena's slender waist. Immediately after that, the jetpack behind him exploded again, ejecting a powerful airflow. Lorena's exclamation Straight into the sky!

"Riding, Sir Knight, can you still fly?!"

Seeing that she was in the sky, Lorena also screamed in surprise, but Duanmuhuai didn't answer, he just quickly locked on to the abnormal fluctuation, and then drove the jetpack towards the target direction.Soon, they arrived at their destination.

"there!!"

Under the bright silvery moonlight, Duanmuhuai soon saw a petite white figure walking on the street. Obviously, she was not a member of the knight order.

Well, the answer is obvious.

"boom!!!"

Duanmu Huai fell from the sky and landed directly on the street, blocking the white figure, then he raised his head and stared at the figure in front of him.

I have to say that even Duanmu Huai was taken aback when he saw the white figure.

Just like what the young people said before, this is a girl doll wearing a white sleeveless dress, which can be clearly confirmed from the spherical joints on her elbows.She also has the same long white hair as Augis, but this puppet girl did not tie it into twin ponytails like Augis, but let it loose randomly——Besides, she His appearance and appearance were indeed very similar to that of Augis.

Hmm, a darkened version of Augis?
That's pretty much what it feels like.

"who are you?"

At this time, Augis also saw the girl doll, and she was a little more surprised on her usually expressionless face.Hearing Augis' inquiry, the puppet girl looked at her, and then—she seemed to have encountered some precious treasure, showing a strange smile.

"Hahahaha, ahhahahaha, isn't this Sister Augis? I never expected to see you here!"

"Hey?"

Hearing her words, both Augis and Duanmu Huai were taken aback.However, the puppet girl didn't explain much, she just laughed frantically and then raised her head.

"This is good, this is good! Just kill you! Then the master will know that I am the most perfect doll! Sister Augis, go die!!!"

Accompanied by the roar of the puppet girl, in the next moment, countless bright red silk threads suddenly appeared on her fingers. A huge female doll with a huge body and a mask covering her face appeared behind the doll girl.

Good guy, this shit even has duplicate weapons?Is that all right?

"…………………"

Seeing this scene, August's eyes flickered, and then she threw out the suitcase in her hand, and then, a huge doll wearing a white mask, black dress and cloak emerged from it.

"Master, can she use me to deal with it? Although I don't know why, but... I can feel that this is very important to me."

"Go."

Facing Augis's request, Duanmuhuai just nodded. He also wanted to know what kind of relationship this girl had with Augis.Since she calls Augis the elder sister, it means that she should be a puppet made later than Augis.However, if Duanmuhuai remembers correctly, the puppeteer who made Auges would have driven Gundam to Wangcheng Wushuang and blew himself up after making Auges... Then, who was that puppet girl? , when was it manufactured?

However, now is not the time to think about it.

Withdrawing his gaze from Augis, Duanmuhuai gripped the hammer tightly and stared ahead.Lorena was leaning behind him, and at the same time, strange shadows emerged from all directions, surrounding the two of them.

It was a strange guy who looked like a girl, but wore a strange white mask and held double blades.They smirked softly, like ghosts and demons wandering in the dark night.

"Hey hey hey... hey hey hey... found the figure of the strong man..."

"Hey hey... our prey..."

Who is the prey is not sure yet.

Hearing these masked women's words, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, his face turned serious.

"Miss Lorena, are you okay?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Knight."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Lorena also nodded vigorously.

"Under the guidance of the gods, we will surely win!"

"Then, come on!"

With Duanmu Huai's roar, the next moment, the two rushed towards the masked women in front of them.
