Adele asked Dorothy through the consultation channel, and Dorothy answered with a serious expression.
"We don't know the exact situation yet. Logically, the people from the Eight-pointed Nest should have already retreated... Anyway, the situation just now was a sudden incident on our side. I will go check it out now. You should try your best to maintain order on the scene and allow the people to evacuate in an orderly manner."
"Hello~ Good luck, Miss Detective."
After finishing her conversation with Adele, Dorothy immediately controlled the flying bird-shaped corpse doll in the sky to fly to No. 1 Blue Street, flew in through the window that was broken by the strong wind, and then observed the situation inside No. 1 from the light shining in from the square. Then, a devastated interior scene appeared in front of her.
At this time, the interior of No. 1 Lanzhi Street was in a mess, with broken glass everywhere on the ground. All the objects that were originally standing were turned over on the ground, vases were smashed, cabinet drawers fell out, and the paintings that were originally on the wall were blown to the ground.
Dorothy controlled the puppet to continue moving deeper into No. 1 Blue Street. After a while, she saw scattered corpses lying on the ground. These corpses had scratches and scars all over their bodies, as if they were cut by sharp blades. The flowing blood soaked the wrinkled carpet, and their wide-open eyes were full of astonishment.
Dorothy continued to control the puppet to explore deeper into the house. The deeper she went, the more strange traces she found. For example, the furniture and walls were now covered with sharp, long scratches of varying depths, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade. The deeper she went, the more numerous, denser, and deeper these scratches became.
"These marks... look like they were cut by wind blades. Was the wind before caused by the wind technique that released the abilities of the people on the branch path?"
Dorothy thought to herself about the cuts in front of her. She had inspected the scene where Davik was ambushed by hunters, and had also witnessed Edmund's battle, so she was very familiar with these sharp and slender cuts.
Since the space below was far away from the light in the square outside the window and seemed extremely dark, Dorothy manipulated a relatively intact body of the guard to stand up, and asked him to take out the gas lamp he carried with him and which luckily still worked well, and then lit it up and continued exploring.
Dorothy let the puppet continue to cut along the direction of the cut, moving deeper into the house. After a while, her puppet came to a spacious hall which seemed to be the center of the violent storm.
Entering the hall, Dorothy saw a more messy scene than before. With the help of the gas lamp in the puppet's hand, Dorothy could see broken carpets mixed with glass shards and wood chips on the floor. Chairs, benches and other furniture were cut into countless small pieces by invisible blades and scattered everywhere. The chandelier on the ceiling broke into several pieces and fell to the ground. The walls and floors were covered with dense wind blade marks in all directions, which made people wonder what kind of storm this room had just experienced.
There were several figures lying in all directions on the floor of the hall, their bodies cut into a bloody mess by densely packed sharp blades, and some of their limbs were cut off. Dorothy identified some bodies with minor facial wounds and discovered that they were all the bodyguards who had protected the royal family on the balcony before!
Those bodyguards who closely protected the royal family and were able to drive back the Cretaceous-level vampires are now all dead, and their deaths were tragic.
Seeing the bodies of the bodyguards, Dorothy's face darkened. Then she began to use the corpse doll to search around, looking for traces of Barrett and Isabel, and soon she found her target.
Next to a broken sofa, Dorothy found Isabel lying on the ground in a dress. There was a large amount of blood on her body and several cuts.
Not far from the fallen Isabel was Barrett, who was sitting against the wall. He was also covered in blood, his body slumped against the wall, his head lowered so that his face could not be seen clearly.
Seeing this scene, Dorothy immediately asked the corpse doll to come forward to check on the two royal family members. In the end, she found that Isabel was still breathing. Although she had injuries, they were not serious and not fatal. The large bloodstains on her body were not her own but seemed to be splashed on her by a bodyguard not far away. It was not known whether it was due to a head injury. At this time, Isabel was in a coma.
Barrett on the other side was in a miserable state. He had far more cuts on his body than Isabel, and one of the wounds was precisely located on his neck. More than half of his neck was cut off, and warm blood was still gushing out of the wound. His wide-open eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.
Barrett Despenser, Lord Saranch, 1 Rue des Lannes, Nantivy, was assassinated.
Seeing the death of Lord Barrett, Dorothy took a deep breath in the cold wind. She was also in shock at this sudden assassination.
'How... is this possible? Didn't those assassins retreat? Why did they suddenly assassinate me? Do they have a third assassin? Didn't this assassin pass Adele's desire test? ! As a member of the Eight Pointed Ones, doesn't he have sadistic desires? Was the strong wind just now the bodyguards fighting against the assassin? '
Looking at the messy scene in front of her, Dorothy rubbed her temples in confusion. The scene in front of her was completely beyond her expectations.
Dorothy originally thought that Isabel and Barrett knew about the assassins, ended the party early, left the balcony and entered the building to be protected by bodyguards, and two confirmed eight-pointed assassins were chased away, so the safety should be foolproof! Who knew that it would suddenly change like this in the blink of an eye? !
A master and a lord, under the circumstances of being alert and under the most careful security, suddenly assassinated each other! ?
Within a few minutes of the Master and the Lord entering No. 1 Blue Street, all the bodyguards were killed, the Master was injured and unconscious, and the Lord was assassinated. How did the Eight Points group do this? Did they arrange a third assassin in addition to the two assassins? This third assassin is so powerful that he can quickly take down all the royal security, why didn't he use it at the beginning! ?
Seeing the scene in front of her, Dorothy felt a little chilly for a moment. She never thought that there was such a powerful assassin hidden in the Eight-Pointed Nest.
Dorothy controlled the corpse puppet and carefully checked the messy hall space around her, as if she wanted to see whether the powerful and mysterious assassin was still at the scene. However, after searching around, she did not find any trace. It seemed that the assassin had directly evacuated the scene after succeeding without any trace.
With a calm face, Dorothy let the puppet scan the assassination scene again. Then she glanced at the unconscious Isabel, closed her eyes and prayed.
"Great Aka, please tell Sister Vanya to go to No. 1 Blue Street immediately, which is the building where the strange vision suddenly appeared. There is no need to hide her identity. There are wounded people here who need her treatment."
After sending a message to Vanya, Dorothy let the puppet take a look at the bodies of Barrett and other bodyguards around her, then closed her eyes and began to contact Nefernis and Capak through the consultation channel.
