The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Seeing the scene in front of him, which he couldn't react to at all, Riber once again connected the Sorrow Witch with the strange thief.

It has been like this from the very beginning, and it is almost impossible for others to see how she suddenly took out various props and threw them out in what way.

It feels like the start and end of a set of movements are completely skipped in the blink of an eye, leaving only one result in front of me.

Surrounded by the pink powder, Riber suddenly felt dizzy.He realized that these magical powders had the effect of making him lose consciousness instantly.However, because of the blessing of the moon, he was able to maintain a minimum level of sobriety.

Here comes the question.

What to do now?

Do you want to pretend that you are nothing special, that you have been overwhelmed by medicine?

Or, to rise up and resist with a trance?

In Liber's mind, the thoughts couldn't turn around as quickly as before.

In the end, after only being dazed for a moment, he still fell straight on the ground with his head down.

Thinking about it carefully, although he has the blessing of phantom, but the current use is relatively unfamiliar, and it does not constitute combat power at all.Moreover, all the previous performances of the Sorrow Witch showed the opponent's strength, and it was not something he could compete with.

Moreover, if the Witch of Sorrow really planned to do something after overturning his medicine, the other party would definitely be negligent even if he pretended to be dizzy.At that time, if he rises up suddenly, he will be able to achieve the best results.

That's it, Riber, down.

When he fell down, he still had some doubts whether his acting skills would be blunt.

But after thinking about it, fainting is not necessarily blunt in itself.After all, how can a person who has lost consciousness control his body well?

Lying on the ground in a side-lying posture, and smelling the smell of the underground sewer more strongly, Riber felt extremely disturbed.

Of course, according to his analysis, the Sorrow Witch is probably harmless.

But who can guarantee that the prisoner who has at least committed the corpse throwing case will make him a new exhibit?

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Riber, who didn't dare to open his eyes, held his breath and tried to catch the current behavior of the sad witch with his hearing.

Before, the distance between him and the Sorrow Witch can be said to be very close, after all, he could be sprayed by the medicine powder in an instant.

However, after he fainted, he heard the footsteps of the Sorrow Witch, who seemed to be moving away.

Then, he heard a sound like someone scratching something, which made him feel physically uncomfortable.The sound seemed to come from the ground.

Could it be that the Sorrow Witch is using this method to check whether he is really dizzy?

I always think it's a bit too much...

The sound of scraping things lasted for a while before it finally stopped.

Then, suddenly a word floated over,

"I'm really sorry..."

For a moment, under the tense mood, Riber's heart almost stopped for a beat because of the sudden voice.

There was no doubt that it was the voice of the Sorrow Witch.Moreover, he did not suppress his voice deliberately to modify it, it was a clear voice that a girl should have.

After the faint voice came, the Sorrow Witch let out another long sigh.

Then, the footsteps sounded again and then gradually faded away, until finally disappeared.

In the empty underground waterway, only the sound of sewage flowing resounded endlessly.

...

Even after the Sorrow Witch left, Riber spent a long time lying on the ground and pretending to faint.

It wasn't until the time when the drowsy drug would lose its effect without the blessing of the moon that Ribera slowly "woke up".

Standing up, Ribel looked around, trying to see if the Sorrow Witch was still hiding in the dark, watching him with evil taste.

But soon, he gave up this idea, and even shook his head, almost revealing a wry smile.

It turned out that this is what it feels like to be kidnapped.

In retrospect, he, who used to be the "kidnapper", persuaded the lady saint that the kidnapper would not do such meaningless things as trying to get him.

Moreover, in front of him who can see the light of the protagonist, the Sorrow Witch cannot hide her figure.

Sighing involuntarily, Riber found the fluorite emitting green light on the ground in front of him.

After the Sorrow Witch left, his vision didn't completely darken, because of this.

Leaning forward, when Riber tried to pick up the fluorite, he suddenly found a rough map drawn with crooked lines next to the stone.

It is simple, but the route on the map is quite complicated. If there is no clear sign, it looks like a maze.

This is probably a map of the underground waterway.

Staring at the map silently, Riber's heart began to be full of mixed feelings.

Not long ago, he was still thinking about how to fight wits and bravery with the Sorrow Witch and escape from her clutches.

But unexpectedly, the Sorrow Witch released him directly, and even drew a map for him thoughtfully.

It's really... the plan can't keep up with the changes.

...

...

If I had to say it, Riber felt that his sense of direction should be weak.

Because when he was suddenly asked which direction east, west, north, and south are in reality, he couldn't come up with an answer except that he was confused.

However, it is different with a map.After all, he has already been trained in various games.

Following the road pointed out by the map, Riber finally came to an exit of the underground waterway.

After climbing up the ladder and pushing back the manhole cover, Riber, who returned to the brightly lit city, couldn't help but feel a sense of seeing the sun again.

Should he shout "I'm free"?

In the complicated mood, some of them were thinking about these boring things, Riber looked at the strange city and the strange street in a daze, and fell into deep thought...

Where is this again?

I looked around for a while, to no avail.

Tried to find passers-by, but because it was already late at night, they couldn't be found at all.

Ever since, Riber can only come up with his "killer".

After using the blessing of illusion to create wings, Riber ascended to the sky under the cover of night and found the city gate where they came.

After returning to the city gate once, he went to the street where the accident happened according to his memory.

Even though the scene in that street had already been cleaned up, the parties had already left.

However, there are still a large number of troublemakers gathered there, and the excitement is so high that it is almost impossible to see that it is late at night.Even after the members of the Knights drove away again and again, there were still a large number of unscrupulous people who tried their best to get closer by detours.

Seeing such a scene repeatedly, Riber could only sigh that it was not easy for the knights he had slandered many times.

He purposely returned to the scene of the crime, looking for Sebastian.But after looking around, I didn't see the donkey-like pegasus and the black carriage.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go back the same way twice, this time following his memory to the dilapidated mansion where the members of the Scourge Church temporarily lived.

In front of the main building of the mansion, there is a closed iron gate.

Fortunately, before Liber could find the bell on the gate, the black crow flew out of the mansion and landed on his shoulder.

"Back here again, did something happen? Li."

Crow's old tone, to the exhausted Riber now, actually had a hint of kindness.

"Hmm...it's nothing special. To put it simply, Sebastian got lost..."

His head was confused, and he didn't know how to explain it to the black crow. After they separated, Riber, who had a thrilling adventure, could only say so.

...

...

Drowsily in the mansion, he slept until about noon.

Riber, who was hungry, finally woke up.

Looking at the dilapidated house, the unfamiliar ceiling, and smelling the musty smell that filled the room, Riber, who hadn't turned his head, almost thought that he had traveled through time again.

Fortunately, the smart IQ regained the high ground in time.

I have to say that the living environment in the dilapidated mansion is really not good.

The room that Riber lived in was still the best room in the mansion that Black Crow had arranged for him, and it was still like an ordinary family's woodshed.

It can only be said that these desperadoes of the Scourge Church have a miserable life on weekdays.

Sitting on the creaking wooden bed, Riber finally had the leisure to sort out everything he had experienced the day before.

The Witch of Mourn set him free.Moreover, I didn't notice it because of my inner tension at the time, but in retrospect, the other party also said a rather sincere apology.

Because of the Sorrow Witch, she didn't come to confirm whether Ribel was really in a coma from the beginning to the end.Therefore, Riber also suspected that the other party actually noticed that he was pretending to be dizzy.

However, no matter what it is, it makes no difference.

Regarding yesterday's last scene, Riber had a strong sense of déjà vu.

When he was in the mansion before, he had been fighting wits with the maid without authorization.In the end, the other party was just a girl who just wanted to save her sister.

Then yesterday, he kept fighting wits with the Sorrow Witch.As a result, without waiting for him to do anything, the other side released him directly.

...

Could it be that there is really something wrong with him?

Instead of being an ordinary person, facing these two situations, you will show the same reaction and attitude?

Having said that, there are indeed some similarities between the maid and the sad witch.

One is a criminal organization who is good at arson and works in secret, but she is a good girl.The other one at least threw away her body, and even took hostages to fight against the knights who maintained public order, but she was still a good girl.

Gee.

The threshold for a good girl in this different world is too low.

All in all, after the performance of the Witch of Sorrow yesterday, Riber is more certain that there is an intricate inside story behind this dismemberment case.The Sorrow Witch is most likely not the murderer.

However, as long as this certainty is not [-]%, Riber's heart will still be covered by a layer of haze.

What if his inference is wrong?

He obviously had a chance to make the Sorrowful Witch come to justice, but he let her escape and even cooperated with her escape.

Then if, in the future, there are still innocent people who are treated cruelly because of his momentary misjudgment... Will his conscience suffer unbearable condemnation?

"Ugh--"

Since time travel, Riber has had the habit of sighing more.

If I had known earlier, how good would it be to turn around and leave when the street was blocked yesterday?

The colorful stage is reserved for detectives and witches who are connected by fate.

Therefore, Riber really doesn't want to be involved in these plots of "The Witch is Wailing".

Because, once infected, it is basically impossible to stay out of it.

Volume Two: Chapter 49, A New Life About to Begin

When he walked out of the room, the first person Riber met was Sebas, the butler he had lost contact with for a while.

After seeing Riber, Sebastian rushed over, murmuring something inaudible at all.

And looking at Sebastian's age, his hair is already gray, but he still hugs his leg and weeps bitterly.Even though Riber was quite dissatisfied with Sebastian before and often slandered him, it has almost disappeared now.

There are more important things about Sebas than ability or incompetence...

Ribel originally thought so, until after he walked out of the mansion, Sebastian had nothing to do with the two Pegasus horses rolling on the ground, and his patience was worn out.

Thinking about it carefully, there is no conflict between keeping Sebastian and finding another capable butler.It's just that I don't know where there is a guy like Doll Gundam in this world who is willing to condescend to serve the Earl.

During the interactive session between the delighted old man and the two Pegasus, Riber saw other members of the Scourge wandering around the mansion.

The one who impressed me deeply was Jeff, the gardener of the former mansion.

Jeff's mouth kept swearing and rambling all day long.It's like a broken sack that is too broken to hold anything.
