Operation Red Book

Watching the police dragging the unconscious man away, Ivy breathed a sigh of relief and slowly smiled.

She crushed the dried blood on the floor tiles with her shoes, turned around, put her arm around Princess Constance, and limped towards the center of the market.

"You must be wondering why I refused treatment and chose to go with you."

Ivy said with a hoarse voice and a smile on her face.

Princess Constance was half a head taller than Ivy. She looked over Ivy's head with a confused look on her face.

Ivy buried herself in the princess' arms, curled up her little body, and tried to move forward.

"First, you and I don't know each other, but you know my name. I'm not that famous, and there are very few people who can match my person with my name. You must have known my image from someone, so you can directly identify me with just a vague figure."

"Secondly, when we were at Shisanfang, Christine and a little girl holding a doll both described you to me. Because of your special identity and extraordinary temperament, it is really hard not to recognize you. So I know that you are the Princess of Luxembourg who has been staying with someone."

"Third, the key evidence is in your pocket. I mean, you picked it up while tracking me, right?"

As she spoke, Ivy reached into the princess's other pocket. Before the princess could react, she pulled out her electric whip and raised her eyebrows triumphantly.

"It has already shown its head a long time ago, didn't you notice?"

Ivy shook the whip in her hand and narrowed her eyes.

"This is a very dangerous thing. Thank you for saving it for me."

After saying that, she folded the whip rope a few times and stuffed it back into the deepest part of her pocket upside down.

"That's too much. Those two people who were on drugs are one thing, but how could you, a person who couldn't be more sober, leave Christine in the box of Shisanfang for the competition?"

"You stayed with someone all night, why? Do you have a special fetish, like psychopaths?"

"Now you're leaving him behind and rushing over to find me. Something must have happened to someone..."

After saying that, Ivy paused, her eyes filled with serious scrutiny as she stared straight into the princess's slightly flustered eyes.

The princess stared at Ivy in amazement. She looked a little nervous and her brows looked even sharper.

"But my problem has not been solved yet. If it is not solved, even if Jesus God comes, I will not let you go."

Ivy said seriously, her brows furrowed and her eyes full of determination.

A battle seemed to be about to break out: the princess stared at Ivy and grasped the hilt of the jeweled sword with her right hand; Ivy's face was cold and she reached into her deep pocket with her left hand.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Gradually, as a breeze blew by, the tense atmosphere reached its limit, and suddenly pried open the two people's teeth:

"Are you a clown in disguise..."

"Sorry! Sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"what?"

"It was so chaotic, I was so careful but still didn't throw it right... Sorry, sorry!"

"Oh my God, your hair, I cut your hair off! I will give you some compensation..."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"Are you scared? Are you okay? Are you okay?"

"Sorry sorry!"

"what?"

The sweet and greasy voice coupled with this brave and fearless face...

This contrast is really too great...

Listening to the long string of apologies, Ivy was stunned for a moment and her mind went blank.

A cool, large, but polite, black Maine Coon?

The heroic princess who was about to draw her knife to kill someone just now suddenly turned into a well-behaved girl who bowed and blushed. It was really unexpected. Ivy lowered her vigilance while being shocked.

"I'm so sorry!"

“No, no, it’s okay…”

Ivy replied incoherently, and quickly limped over to help up the noble princess.

The princess's face turned red, like a fiery sunset cloud. She hunched her neck, frowned, and looked very well-behaved.

Seeing the princess being so cautious, Ivy immediately dispelled all her worries and touched her head unconsciously.

"You don't look like a bad, arrogant person!" Ivy smiled and showed her teeth. "Okay, my problem is solved..."

Unexpectedly, halfway through her words, the princess suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ivy's hand, her tone very urgent:

"It's okay! Miss Ivy! I know what you are worried about, but please believe me, I will not interfere in the strong relationship between you and Mr. Joshua!"

"what?"

Suddenly, a hundred question marks appeared in Ivy's head...

"I am a prudent person, and I have only known Mr. Joshua for less than three hours! Therefore, I must respect and bless the deep friendship between the two of you!"

"Please relax! In my mind, Mr. Joshua and Ms. Ivy are both excellent and kind people. I envy you and support you!"

"Ah? Ah... No, you misunderstood..."

Ivy explained hurriedly, the image of Joshua's thin and broken figure reappearing in her mind.

"I...I don't know him." She said hesitantly, with the corners of her mouth slightly down.

"No! This is impossible!"

The princess decisively exposed Ivy's nonsense, and her eyes regained their usual sharpness.

"Ms. Ivy, I have to tell you that Mr. Joshua has been talking about you almost all night!"

"You called me a cheap slut, right? You want him to die soon..."

Hearing this, Ivy's face suddenly turned dark and she turned around to leave.

"No! No!" The princess hurriedly stopped him, grabbing Ivy's sleeve tightly, "Ms. Ivy! Seeing your true face, I personally think you are very beautiful, just like the Aegean Sea in midsummer, with rippling water and floating waves..."

"A strange metaphor..."

Hearing the inexplicable praise, Ivy stopped pulling and turned around shakily.

To be honest, if she had a tail, it would be up in the air right now.

He's really good at judging people. She falls for it.

"Okay...what's the important matter that you came to see me about?" Ivy asked with her chin raised.

In fact, from the eye contact just now, she had already seen that the princess needed help.

This question hit the heart of the princess. She unbuttoned her sleeves and immediately stood away, with her shoulders raised and her eyes wandering, obviously forming words and sentences in her mind.

Seeing her upper teeth biting her lower lip tightly, hesitating for a long time without being able to speak, Ivy immediately lost her patience: "Forget it."

She was about to turn around and leave again, but this time, it was a deliberate disguise.

As expected, the princess got anxious. She grabbed Ivy's sleeve again and said loudly without confidence:

"Mr. Joshua! Mr. Joshua... He seems to be dying..."

Hearing this, Ivy stopped immediately.

Her pupils trembled, the back of her head numbed, and the horrifying words continued to ring in her ears, making her brain buzz.

"Not long after leaving the stage, Mr. Joshua suddenly convulsed all over and rolled on the ground. He said he was in great pain and his heart was about to explode..."

"He mumbled that he wanted to see you, and the red-haired witch also asked me to come to you..."

"I think, perhaps only Miss Ivy, whom Mr. Joshua has been thinking about, can free him from his pain..."

After listening to the princess's explanation, Ivy immediately understood why the princess hesitated and dared not speak.

After the test just now, the princess had obviously realized the conflict between Ivy and Joshua, but she came to ask Ivy for Joshua. With her cautious and extremely good at reading people's expressions character, she must have suffered a lot for this desire.

Ivy quickly calmed herself down. She slowly turned around, worry in her eyes and doubt on her face.

Joshua was just standing on the stage singing, and he looked so full of life that he didn't even look like he was dying...

Besides, if you are dying, just go find a doctor. You can't cure yourself, so why are you so obsessed with letting yourself go...

Faced with the nervous Princess Constance, Ivy quickly built a thick wall in her heart.

"Don't go with strangers" - this is a truth that we have learned from childhood to adulthood.

Maybe this "princess" is a trick designed by the clown just for himself... This is a common tactic in horror movies.

Find a girl who looks pitiful, take advantage of her kindness and concern, use Joshua's safety as an excuse, trick her into a deserted place, and kill her.

Are you kidding? Ivy is already an adult, she won't fall for this...

"Ouch! Please don't look at me like a bad person..."

"why?"

"You are so beautiful. If you look at me like this, I will think that the statue of Venus has appeared in front of me! Although I am a woman, I will be very shy..."

"uh-huh!"

In less than five seconds, Ivy's tail was up in the sky again.

She held her chin high, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she looked more like a princess than a princess in her haughty manner.

"Well, since you praised me, I will go with you to meet this dying Joshua!"

Anyway, there are a lot of people around, and the princess has to go to the stage in the center of the market...

Besides, what if what she said was true? What if Joshua was really in such a state that he was about to die? What if Joshua really died that night and she could have saved him?

No matter what, she didn't want this relationship to become a broken bridge that she couldn't go back to, and then fall into the abyss of death...

It's always good to be cautious.

"Great! Mr. Joshua is right. Miss Ivy is a little tsundere with a red apple flavor!"

"Tsk! Don't use these weird metaphors in front of me anymore!"

"Okay, Miss Ivy, who is kind and beautiful!"
