Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

After digesting the news about Klent's trouble, Ye He couldn't think of any good way to deal with Klent, so he decided not to think about it for the time being.

I'll go to Lieyang tomorrow to give him some face and see if things can get quieter over there.

Yehe was quite confident in the value of his "face". As Atlach had just said, the incarnations of the gods had gathered in Gavaria, observing Punenor obtaining the priesthood of life.

Since my "method" is effective, those righteous gods will definitely give me some face.

Especially [Scorching Sun], both He and [Darkness] are on the verge of losing control, and He is one of the two gods who most needs Ye He's "help".

"I just came back from the Imperial Research Institute. She told me that Sedaville is very lively recently? Have you received an invitation letter for me?"

Ye He asked Rose, and he told her his whereabouts, allowing Rose to skip the step of introducing the complicated situation in Sedaver and go directly to the step that Ye He was most concerned about.

Ever since Ye He came back, Rose has always seemed to be hesitant to speak.

When she heard Ye He's question, she immediately understood that Ye He had already asked Ekaterina at the Imperial Research Institute about the chaos in Saidawell.

This saved her a lot of effort and also saved Ye He's time.

Rose paused for two seconds to organize her words, then took out some odds and ends from her small pocket and handed them to Ye He.

"You guessed it right. Those people have been to the Continental Hotel and found that you were not here, so they left these things for you."

The reason why Rose didn't directly say whether those people left an "invitation letter" for Ye He was because Rose herself didn't know what these things meant.

Ye He arranged these fragments in a row, from left to right:
A piece of colorful crystal stone the size of a fingernail, a new balloon that had not been inflated, and a fragment that looked a bit like the core of the Lightless One...

These three items should belong to Maxwell, the Joker, and Baron Gagarin.

When Maxwell was severely damaged by the aftermath of the world's destruction, he himself did not notice that there was a fingernail-sized fragment of the Sword of Divine Punishment stuck in his body.

He now leaves this "souvenir" to Ye He, seemingly provoking Ye He:
"You can destroy the world, but you can't destroy me!"

Needless to say, the balloon belongs to that powerful and scary clown, and its specific meaning is currently unknown.

The core fragment of [The Lightless One] made Ye He frown, somewhat unsure.

Is he trying to be friendly to me? Or... is he planning to send the Lightless Ones to my side and take my life along with this fragment?
"Ah……"

Ye He didn't say much, just smiled sarcastically.

The entire city of Sedwell is now under martial law because of the "War of Gods", so the whole city is so depressing and strangely clean.

Under such circumstances, Baron Gagarin did not have the courage to act rashly. There was no way he could afford to offend the two top Orthodox churches.

In addition to these three items that clearly pointed to the character, there were several other items on the table that had ambiguous meanings:

A lipstick, a silk handkerchief, a hairpin.

After carefully examining the hairpin, Ye He still couldn't remember where he had seen it.

But it was indeed the only thing that impressed Ye He.

It was Caesar who judged that Ye He was confused and projected a "memory" onto his retina, allowing Ye He to figure out the owner of the hairpin.

The "memory" comes from Ye He's own perspective. It was the morning of September 9th, when the two detectives from Sigvig who sent him the maze detector met him and Katarina who was a guest in this room.

At that time, the hairpin was pinned on the back of Magda's head, but now it was placed in front of her as a keepsake.

Ye He picked up the hairpin and gestured to Rose.

"Who sent this?"

"A gentleman checked into our hotel on November 9th and left the next day, the morning of the 10th.

He specifically asked me to leave this hairpin for you, and he also left you a message: "There is always a price to pay for disappointing a girl's dream."

Sir, is there something wrong with this hairpin? "

Rose's expression was a little subtle. She had not yet told Ye He in detail that the man was an elderly gentleman.

He looks... a lot like a father who wants to "seek justice" from Ye He for his daughter?

Considering Ye He's numerous romantic debts, Rose had actually been prepared for this.

Now that she found out that Ye He recognized the hairpin, she was even more certain...

"Has anything happened at the Continental Hotel in Sigvig?"

Ye He interrupted Rose's wandering thoughts with a very off-topic question.

"Um... I don't think so. Miss Floy has been patrolling between the three cities of Sigvig, Cedarville, and Gavaria. According to the information she brought a week ago, everything is normal in Sigvig."

"Well……"

After hearing the report, Ye He immediately fell silent.

It turned out that it wasn't Sigvig's Continental Hotel that had the problem? Then why did Magda, who worked there, fall into the hands of this man?
This hairpin belongs to Magda. If Magda hadn't fallen into the hands of that man, how could it have appeared on his body?

He left this hairpin to me specifically, clearly asking for ransom from me!

Ye He and Rose have different ways of thinking. In his opinion, the meaning of this hairpin and the message is just a kidnapper and ransomware showing off to him.

"Sir... may I know what you have noticed? Perhaps there are some misunderstandings here?"

Rose noticed something wrong from Ye He's expression. He would probably show his sneering expression, ready to kill at any time, to his lover's father.

Regardless of whether it was Ye He who misunderstood or Rose herself, she felt that she needed to clarify the relationship here, so that Ye He would not kill someone by mistake.

"Sir, that gentleman..."

"Okay, this is not a big deal, I'll take care of it."

Ye He interrupted Rose who was about to describe the old gentleman's fatherly manner. He put away the hairpin, pointed at the lipstick and silk handkerchief on the table and asked Rose:
"Who left these two things to me?"

Given Rose's professional ethics, she shouldn't have allowed Ye He to indulge in misunderstandings and confusion, but the lipstick and silk handkerchief that Ye He mentioned were also things that Rose had been concerned about for a long time.

So she didn't think too much and prepared to answer Ye He's question first.

Anyway, as long as Ye He doesn't cause trouble for the old gentleman, the conflicts caused by these misunderstandings will not break out for the time being.

She would have plenty of opportunities to explain it to Ye He later, so she should satisfy her curiosity first:

"This lipstick came from a lady who is suspected to be a senior executive of the [Flower Courtyard]. After she arrived at the entrance of the Continental Hotel, she did not get off the carriage and show up. She just called out the two [Rose Messengers] and took them away."

This part of the introduction is not what Rose cares about, but the next sentence:

"Did she leave you a message saying...date? Yes, just those three words."

Date? Ye He's expression was quite interesting. The one above the two roses... couldn't be a young lady, right?

Ahem… It’s wrong to judge people by their appearance, and it’s even more wrong to judge by your own imagination!
The lipstick left by the other party should contain some clues that can help Ye He find her whereabouts, and her "date invitation" also points to this meaning.

Ye He first put away the lipstick, then looked at the last silk handkerchief.

"This silk scarf comes from another lady. She... um... she has a beauty that I cannot describe in words. She is a goddess-like lady."

Similarly, the first part of the introduction is not what Rose cares about, but the last part:

"But my lord, the lady appeared to me in a dream and asked me to convey this message to you."

Rose adjusted her expression, and Ye He thought it was a very serious message, but then she uttered the following words:

"Respected Father, my daughter and I are waiting for your arrival... Please save us!"

Her voice was unusually lazy and gentle, making this message asking for help sound like a flirtation.

But this should not be Rose's bad taste. She and Ye He already have a relationship. She would not tease Ye He like this, and there is no need to do so.

Ye He's gaze returned to the pure white silk handkerchief.

It seems...the lady in the dream and her daughter were not in a good situation, and they left a particularly deep impression on Rose.

"interesting……"

Ye He was right from the beginning. These six tokens were equivalent to invitations, and they all assured Ye He that... Ye He's days ahead would not be boring.

but not now.

The sky outside was dark and it was still far from dawn. It was not the right time for Ye He to respond to these "invitations". As the "invitee", he was not in a hurry.

Anyway... let's deal with the church first!
Let Lieyang and Yuezhihui stop fighting first, otherwise this cold war atmosphere will seriously affect Yehe's handling of these invitations.

"grown ups?"

Rose had been observing Ye He's expression, waiting for Ye He to ask her for detailed information about the ladies behind him.

But Ye He disappointed her. Ye He simply opened a silver ripple and threw all six tokens in.

Then he motioned to Yulia, who had been standing aside for a long time, to come over and help him, looking like he was getting ready to take a shower and go to bed.

"You can go back and rest. I'll take care of these things. Sedaville is very busy these days, so don't go out unless necessary."

Ye He's "order to evict" left Rose at a loss as to what to do. Although her heart was filled with doubts, she couldn't disturb Ye He's rest, so she could only leave first.

A few minutes later, Ye He lazily lay down in the bathtub and let Yulia wash his body.

Although he was not physically tired, Ye He was indeed a little tired mentally. He really should have a good sleep.

"My lord... those witches said you were taken to the gate of hell. Have you had a hard time in the past month?"

Yulia obviously misunderstood something. Although Ye He was clean and had no missing limbs, she had heard Krent talk about how Ye He used the water of life to save himself when only his head was left.

Who knows what Ye He went through in the past month? Maybe he went through a lot of hardships to escape from hell, and the injuries on his body were just healed by the water of life?

"Hell is boring. The demons there are very well behaved and sensible... Oh, I didn't stay in hell for a long time. I wasted this month somewhere else."

Ye He simply explained that after all, she was his own maid, and Yulia, who had been with Ye He the longest, was still very trusted by Ye He.

"Are you really okay? That's good. Ah, those... hairpins, lipstick, and silk handkerchiefs, are they all left to you by your lover?"

Before seeing these things, Yulia had no idea they existed, but Rose's introduction just now successfully aroused her interest.

Her relationship with Ye He is much closer than that between Rose and Ye He, so there will be no problem if she asks directly.

But Ye He simply shook his head:
"No, none of them."

"Ok."

Yulia knew that Ye He was the type of person who was too lazy to hide anything, so if he said it was not true, it really was not true.

"Okay, you go back and rest, I'll continue soaking for a while."

"Yes."

Yulia got up obediently, wiped the water off her body, put on a bathrobe and left the bathroom. Before leaving, she said good night to Yehe.

But just as she closed the bathroom door, Ye He, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the bathroom door with an expressionless face.

Very good... You even dare to control my maid... You'd better not let me catch you!

Something's wrong with Yulia? Yes.

Even though she did not reveal any flaws in her words and actions, the fact that she did not bring Bartley with her to see Ye He after Ye He returned was enough to explain the problem.

"The person controlling her seems to be able to read only her shallowest memories. Coincidentally, she has always treated me as an ordinary cat."

Bartley's voice also sounded at the right moment opposite Ye He. He was squatting beside the bathtub on that side, looking at Ye He quietly.

"What else did you find?"

The cat has always been the most reliable person in the house, and Ye He accepted this helpless fact a long time ago.

"Huh...found it?"

Bartley looks much more pleasing to the eye now that his hair has grown back, but no one knows how his pure white fur grew back.

For this type of cat, this fur color makes it look a bit... out of place?
"Ye He, you have a big problem!"

Bartley's warning made Ye He immediately adjust his expression and look at his cat seriously.

“Those who are controlled… or affected are not just Yulia, but also the two Orthodox Churches and that Krent!
In addition, Jeppard's owner Corinna, the dean at the university, the old woman in the second-hand bookstore...all the characters in Sedawell that you can think of should have been affected."

This terrible news came out of Bartley's mouth, but Ye He's expression remained calm.

He looked at his cat, then suddenly smiled and asked Bartlett:

"What about you? Are you included among those affected?"

"..."

Bartre looked at Ye He quietly. After several seconds, he gave Ye He a strange smile.

"include."
