Chapter 1029 The Perfect and Chic Maid
Miss Hawkins' forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat - at some point, three bladeless knives quietly emerged from the shadows in front of her.
In just a moment, she would be stabbed in the eyes by the three daggers!
Miss Hawkins certainly knew it.
——This is exactly the flying knife used by Hawkeye’s assassins!
But it usually flew out of nowhere and pierced directly into her or her colleagues' bodies... This was the first time she had seen a flying knife that was not ejected. Fortunately, she dodged it in time...
But when she thought of this, Miss Hawkins suddenly stiffened.
she……
...Did he really escape?
I felt that it suddenly became extremely quiet behind me.
The enemy clearly appeared, but there was no movement at all...
After realizing this, Hawkins felt sweat pouring down his back.
She didn't even dare look back.
But the more she thought about it, the more frightened and curious she became.
Finally, after who knows how long of silence... Hawkins couldn't help but look back.
——Just a glance.
She felt like the blood in her body almost froze——
The former companions are now divided and evenly distributed.
Everyone is so close to each other. My body is now so thin that it is only one centimeter square...but my height has also dropped from 1.7 meters or 1.8 meters to one centimeter.
When were they killed?
Miss Hawkins's teeth were chattering and sweat was breaking out on her back.
——Didn’t they just complete the barrier just a few seconds ago?
Why did they all die in just a moment?
"You must leave him alive—and ask all the questions you need, Miss Hawkins."
Imitating what "Lord Zeller" had just said, Lily spoke slowly.
A maid dressed in a black and white maid dress, with her eyes closed, giving people a sense of gentleness and tranquility gradually emerged from the shadows.
Her right hand was clenched into a fist, with three hiltless blades clamped between her fingers.
"Surrender."
Lily opened her eyes slightly and looked at Hawkins: "If you surrender, you can live."
"I...I surrender! I surrender!"
The embarrassed Hawkins shouted without hesitation.
Her voice was almost a wail, without any trace of the cruelty and arrogance she had shown towards Zula before.
But at this moment... the gray spider silk gathered in the four corners of the ceiling of the room at some point, suddenly popped out and directly hung Hawkins up!
"Tell me," Lily said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"
"We are... We are here on the orders of the Earl!"
After being hung in the air, the Moon Girl with long black hair stabbed her master in the back without hesitation.
"What are you here for? Which earl?"
Lily's voice was a little unhappy: "Don't make me ask before you answer."
"It's Count Rogers! Lord Dio de Rogers..."
The Moon Child named Hawkins spilled the beans: "Lord Zeller... I mean, Alan Zeller was originally tracking a key that could allow a person to enter a dream in the physical body, but later the key was taken away by the thief Arsène.
"This afternoon, after Alan Zeller reported to the Earl, he sent us to seize the key... Ideally, we'd want to make Phantom Thief Arsène lose himself in the Dream World. To do that, we simply need to kill the dreamer himself. If he loses the beacon that leads him back to the material world, he won't be able to stay in the Dream World for long."
"In other words," Lily repeated, "you hope to kill Miss Mia, so that Arsen, who entered the dream world through the Dream Key, will get lost or even die. Am I right?"
“…Yes, that’s right…”
Miss Hawkins was very uneasy: "I, I have told you everything... I have surrendered, Master! We can talk it over..."
From her well-behaved appearance, it was hard to tell that she was clamoring to skin Zula a minute ago.
But the next moment, Hawkins suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Lily's right hand touched the air lightly as if playing the piano, and her body gradually felt a premonition of separation.
"Wait, wait... Sir... Please... I've told you everything... I've told you everything... You promised..."
Hawkins spoke incoherently, his voice half trembling and half filled with despair, but there was not a trace of elegance or composure.
"ah."
Lily said leisurely: "I lied to you - you deserve to die."
The next moment, Hawkins' body was cut into pieces by countless thin shadow lines.
Adhering to the gray spiderwebs, flesh gushed and exploded in all directions like a fountain. But the tiny pieces of flesh were perfectly sealed into ruby-like blocks, clinging to the webs. Only a small amount of blood spilled onto the ground. It looked like a small piece of melted red ice.
"Okay, you're safe, Miss Zula."
Lily looked at Zula, who was huddled under the blanket and shivering, and her tone was calm and gentle.
She bowed slightly to Zula, like a maid greeting a guest. But her face betrayed no trace of the humility of a servant, only charming composure and confidence. "It's best not to have any hopes for these monsters; they're nothing more than man-eating beasts."
"Miss……"
"My name is Lily."
"Miss Lily..."
Zula hesitated for a moment, then wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and said earnestly and politely, "Thank you. I will keep your words in mind... I will not be deceived by the Son of the Moon again..."
She meant it from the heart.
Ever since she'd witnessed the depravity and madness of these Moonchildren... and seen how they too would embarrass themselves before dying, Zula suddenly felt that being a Moonchild wasn't such a great feat after all. The things she'd once so passionately pursued now seemed like nothing more than that... leaving her feeling rather dull.
"Don't think too much. I'm just trying to protect my young master."
Lily's tone was gentle yet distant, but even so, every word she said was sincere: "You don't need to live for anyone else. You only need to live for yourself - that's how my young master taught me."
"--Really?"
Aiwass's smiling voice came from the inner room: "I don't remember saying that.
"But I'm happy...you've really grown a lot, Lily."
The next moment, Aiwass and Yasen pushed the door open and walked out.
Seeing Aiwass return safely, Lily's face suddenly showed more smiles and her eyes became brighter.
But Sherlock was still nowhere to be seen in the room.
Did it fail, or...
Lily glanced around and then looked at Aiwass.
“—It worked.”
Aiwass replied simply, "But Shylock's spirit isn't here—he's back in his body. We must urgently go to the Duke of Vendôme's palace, and we might not be back for a day or two. Time is short, so I'll try to resolve everything within two days."
"We'll take the key away, but there might be people less well-informed who continue to come here. Lily, you stay here and protect the two ladies—and the dolls we brought back. Be careful not to damage them. We can keep in touch through the little crow at any time. Call me if you need anything."
"clear."
Lily nodded and gave a brief reply: "I'll stay here and kill anyone who comes."
Her words revealed the murderous intent of a beast, sheathed yet still sharp.
The maid who used to be naive and self-deprecating has now gradually become free and confident.
Yasen, who was like a comedian in the dream world, quickly stepped forward to comfort the crying Zula. He looked calm and reliable at the moment, and soon coaxed Zula to sleep.
After wiping away his little lover's tears, Yasen quietly carried her back to her room and let her sleep well.
When Yasen came out again, there was still some worry on his face... Obviously, he regretted the trouble he had caused.
Without Aiwass's help, he might have really lost himself in the dream world. His two lovers would have been killed by his own reckless behavior... Even so, he couldn't save Sherlock.
Fortunately, Aiwass is here.
"Let's go rescue Sherlock."
Thinking of this, Yasen whispered to Aiwass, "If we delay, something bad will happen... It would be bad if he was stuffed into the dream world again. Then we might have to go back and look for him all over again..."
"No," Aiwass replied leisurely, "the Duke of Vendôme would not do that.
"—because I've already reached Iris. He'd better not."
Update...
Let me tell you something scary, I haven't slept since yesterday... I can sleep at night now (sad)
...The routine has come full circle again, this is the cycle that continues!
