She's not dead yet? She escaped? She's still thinking about helping Prince Edessak take revenge? The moment he saw Triss, Klein, who was standing behind the curtains of the master bedroom, almost couldn't control his expression.

Although he had some vague guesses based on the previous conversation, when the facts lay before him, he still felt that it was beyond his imagination.

Even without dream divination, he could still recall part of the conversation between Triss and himself before the Backlund smog incident. At that time, she couldn't wait to get rid of Prince Edessak's control and the manipulation of her fate by the mastermind behind the scenes. She felt that her daily life was full of pain.

Would a witch who was originally a man sell her soul to the evil god in order to help Prince Edessak take revenge? What kind of plot is this from a third-rate romance novel! Klein twitched his lips. He “saw” the butler Walter throw a bag of food to Triss, and “heard” him give a few instructions, then turned around and walked out of the hidden passage.

At this moment, from Klein's own perspective, a figure emerged from Senator Macht's house, following the shadows of the street and quickly approaching the sewer entrance. It was Hazel, who possessed the magical item of the "Thief" pathway.

We'll run into Walter... This doesn't look like the entrance to the sewer, it's clearly the main entrance to a busy market! Klein looked down and almost raised his right hand to cover his face.

Arriving at the entrance to the sewer, Hazel looked around vigilantly for a few seconds before moving the manhole cover and climbing down. The entire process was done in one go without any sense of sluggishness.

Stepping on the slightly slippery ground, she moved forward quickly with a clear purpose, along the rusty iron pipes and the slowly flowing sewage river.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her back, a chill running down her spine, and her hairs stood up.

Then, Hazel seemed to fall into a river with an ice surface, and felt a large amount of coldness quickly taking over her body.

She was horrified to see that she had taken the initiative to step in another direction, walking straight towards the wall with iron pipes, and all this had nothing to do with her will!

Fear quickly filled Hazel's mind. She finally broke free of the rigidity of her thoughts and poured all the spiritual power she could control into the necklace around her neck.

The necklace consisted of seven emerald green, transparent stones that were placed at equal distances from each other and were surrounded by a circle of tiny diamonds. Even in the absolute darkness, it still emitted a subtle fluorescence.

Suddenly, one of the stones lit up, and the emerald green light made Hazel's beautiful face look gloomy and eerie.

She paused in her movement towards the wall, and took two steps forward awkwardly, then brought them back.

At this moment, Hazel felt the chill in her body and became sluggish for a moment.

Without hesitation, she used her spiritual power to light up another transparent emerald green stone, raised her right hand, pointed it at herself, and twisted her wrist violently.

At the same time, some mysterious symbols and patterns appeared in her mind, and her spirituality and vocal cords also underwent certain temporary changes.

She stole the extraordinary ability of "Soul Scream"!

Hazel was about to open her mouth and make a desperate sound, but she felt her hands lose control again and cover her mouth fiercely, forcefully, and quickly.

Her scream turned into a whimper that only existed inside her mouth. She took light steps and reached the wall in a few steps. She turned into a fork in the road and squatted in the pure darkness.

She struggled hard, but it was no use. Even trying to activate the necklace around her neck again was difficult for her.

Hazel's dark brown eyes opened wide, filled with fear and unwillingness, and two drops of crystal tears began to slowly slide down the corners of her eyes.

At this time, Walter groped his way out from another fork in the road, returned to the sewer entrance, and climbed up swiftly.

When he quietly entered Dwayne Dantès's residence at 160 Böklund Street, Hazel suddenly regained control of her body, and felt that the terrible coldness had completely disappeared.

She first raised her hands in surprise, used her night vision to take a look, and then looked around in horror, as if there were unknown and countless monsters hidden in the darkness of the sewer.

Hazel then touched the necklace in front of her with her right hand, stood up carefully, and moved closer to the entrance.

She did not run away in panic, but was always on guard against attacks from the depths of darkness.

Finally, she returned to Böklund Street and saw the light radiating from the iron-black gas lamppost, illuminating the road that still had traces of rain.

Hazel then quickened her pace and ran towards her home. Halfway through, she suddenly turned back and nervously and hurriedly moved the manhole cover to the closed position.

After doing all this, she walked along the shadows of the street, returned to her own garden, and with the help of gas and water pipes, entered the balcony of her bedroom.

It was not until this moment that she actually had the extra ability to think. She opened her eyes wide, looked around subconsciously, and her body gradually began to tremble noticeably.

She raised her left arm and tried to wipe her face with her clothes, but she paused and took out a handkerchief from her pocket instead.

…………

Hazel still has basic coping skills and is not a complete rookie...In the sewer, Senior, wearing a tricorn hat and a dark red coat, appeared and muttered to himself silently.

Then, under Klein's control, he hid his figure again and entered the hidden fork where Triss was.

As the “ghost” approached, Triss, who was wearing a black dress, raised her head and smiled with a combination of weakness and stubbornness.

“It seems you have no ill intentions.

"That lady is quite lucky."

She actually noticed what happened to Hazel and discovered the "ghost"!

Senior's figure instantly stood out, and he laughed:

"Maybe just killing her would be more trouble."

Frankly speaking, he wanted to report Triss because he knew the evil things she had done, how she instigated the passengers and crew of the "Alfalfa" to kill each other at sea, and how she caused innocent lives to pass away prematurely. However, after discovering that Triss was investigating the mystery of Prince Edessak's death, Klein had a new plan, which was to drive this witch to cooperate with her to a limited extent on this matter.

The mystery of Prince Edessak's death is almost equivalent to the truth of the Backlund Great Smog Incident!

Investigating this matter must be very dangerous. Letting others get involved would make me feel guilty, and I'm afraid they would be hurt or even die. But if Triss were to do it, there would be no such psychological burden. The crime she committed should have sent her to hell long ago! The only problem is that she might just be using the investigation of the mystery of Prince Edessak's death to plan her own affairs. We must be wary of this, so as not to be used and cause a disaster... While thinking, Klein asked Senior to move forward two more steps.

Triss looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with a faint gaze, chuckled and said:

"Since you have ill intentions, then do it, Mr. Senior."

At this moment, within the puppet's senses, there were countless invisible silk threads floating around Triss, and she herself was sitting in the middle with a pale face and dark dress, like a spider lying at the core of a silk web, yet full of charm that made people pity her and approach her.

"Do you know me?" The secret doll stopped at the right time.

Triss responded with a dazed and confused expression:

“I have spent some unforgettable years at sea.”

At that time, you were still a man... Klein muttered inwardly, then smiled:

"Why are you investigating Prince Edessak's death? Didn't he commit suicide?"

Triss suddenly raised her head, with a hint of anger on her face:

"There is a difference between suicide and suicide. Some people commit suicide voluntarily, while others are forced to do so."

No way, she really seems to care about the death of Prince Edessak... Miss, have you forgotten that you were once a man? Have you forgotten the pain you talked about before? Could it be the so-called Stockholm syndrome? After being forced for a long time, the other party will show a little kindness and receive several times or even dozens of times more gratitude and attachment? Well, I'm not an "audience" and can't judge whether her performance is fake... Klein let Senior laugh and said:

“So, you think Prince Edessak was forced to commit suicide?

"You are looking for William Sykes just to investigate this matter?"

The anger on Triss's face disappeared, revealing a sad smile:

"right.

"He was the one who forced Edessak to commit suicide. He used a bullet that could destroy his spirituality. However, he was also following other people's orders. Hey, he confessed everything in order to get the final pleasure. Haha, I still didn't let him really touch me. I even showed him my old photos. He died in pain and despair..."

I can't imagine what William has encountered... Triss's mind is still as twisted as before... A witch who has reached the "joyful" stage is really charming. One expression and one action can attract people... However, it can be seen that Triss has restrained these things very well and only uses them when necessary... Did she get promoted? Or because of love? Klein complained in his heart and asked Senior to ask:

"Who is it?"

When he asked this question, Klein did not expect to get an answer, but Triss smiled and said:

"Viscount Stratford.

"Captain of the royal palace guard."
