After listening to Mary's explanation, Eros' mouth twitched. Mary's mother's train of thought was really quite strange.

Seeing that Eros didn't speak, Mary pursed her lips and said in a faint voice:

"Eros, will you be my father in the future?"

Hearing Mary's words, Eros glanced at her and curled his lips and said:

"Haven't I already been one?"

"Qiuyue Mary, what should you call me?"

Mary was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and nudged her head in Eros's arms, saying shyly:

"Hate!"

Although she said this, Mary finally leaned over to Eros' ear and whispered something.

Eros nodded in satisfaction, and the two of them didn't speak anymore, just leaned against each other quietly.

After a long time, after sending Mary to her doorstep, Eros took a carriage to Youghal Street.

After arriving at the Special Operations Department office, Eros was a little surprised to see Daisy alone in the office.

"Ms. Daisy, where are they?"

Hearing Eros' voice, Daisy, who was writing and drawing at her desk, raised her head and glanced at Eros, then said with an "oh":

"Oh! It's Conan. Peter and Vivian followed the captain out early this morning."

"I heard that the location of the Abyss Cult's stronghold was discovered, and Archbishop Dino personally led a team to encircle and suppress it this morning."

At this point, Daisy was stunned for a moment, then she reacted suddenly, looked at Eros in astonishment and said:

"That's not right! Why are you here? Didn't you receive any notification?"

Eros blinked his eyes and said with an innocent expression:

“I didn’t receive any notification.”

He indeed did not receive the notification, as he went back after rescuing Vivian yesterday.

Logically, he should have been home before Vivian recovered, but he did not receive any so-called notification.

Seeing that Eros's expression didn't seem fake, Daisy looked puzzled.

Seeing Daisy like this, Eros felt helpless.

He actually had some vague guesses in his mind as to why he hadn't received the notification.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and soon Peter, David, and Vivian pushed the door open.

As soon as Peter entered the room and saw Eros, he immediately started complaining:

"Conan, it's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have made the same trip we did."

"When we got there this morning, there were no members of the Abyss Cult there."

"He left long ago with a cleaner head than the cafeteria chef Koro Baudrillard."

Daisy, who was standing beside him, frowned and said after hearing what Peter said:

"Didn't you inform Conan?"

You know, if you don't attend this kind of collective action, it will easily leave a bad impression in front of the archbishop.

Peter spread his hands and said in an innocent tone:

"When we were gathering, we found that Conan was not there, so we actually wanted to go over and inform Conan."

"But just when we were about to notify them, Archbishop Dino suddenly said that the number of Night Watchmen present was enough and there was no need to notify anyone else."

"Then he said that we need to act quickly and cannot wait any longer, lest those members of the Abyss Cult evacuate before we arrive."

"So we didn't have time to inform Conan, but it doesn't matter if Conan didn't go, it was a wasted trip anyway."

After hearing Peter's reasons, Eros understood that it was indeed Archbishop Dino's fault.

I guess he thought there were some extraordinary beings in the Abyss Cult and was afraid that I would be affected if I went with them, so he deliberately didn't take me with him.

Although he already knew what had happened, Eros still pretended to be shocked and said:

"Have you discovered the base of the Abyss Cult?"

Seeing the astonishment on Eros's face, David pouted and laughed at Vivian beside him:

"This base of the Abyss Cult was discovered by Vivian, but unfortunately, we were too late."

At the end of his speech, David's face was full of regret, as if the gold pounds he had earned had flown away.

After listening to David's explanation, Eros looked at Vivian slumped in the office chair in the corner with some surprise.

"I didn't expect that Ms. Vivian actually found out the whereabouts of the members of the Abyss Cult."

After hearing Eros's praise, Vivian turned her head to look at Eros, and then said in a weak voice:

"It was useless. In the end, not a single cultist was caught."

Eros consoled him, "If we can investigate it once, we can definitely investigate it a second time."

"Those evil members of the Abyss Cult may be able to escape once, but they may not be able to escape a second time."

Vivian sighed quietly, staring at the ceiling with her beautiful eyes, and said with a sense of despair:

"Hopefully!"

Eros smiled and immediately sat down in his chair.

Since there was nothing to do next, Eros picked up today's Hedaram morning paper and started reading.

The first thing that caught my eye was a piece of news about a dozen homeless people whose bodies were found in an alley yesterday.

David, who was standing next to him, saw Eros reading the news, so he came over and laughed:

"Conan, you know, I was actually nearby when these bodies were discovered."

"Do you know how they died? Oh! I swear to God, if you knew, you would be surprised too."

Hearing David's words, Eros turned his head to look at David and said with some surprise:

"Is there something strange about their cause of death?"

David shook his head to indicate no, then he looked around and saw that Daisy and Vivian were not paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and said in Eros' ear:

"They all killed each other."

Eros' eyes widened and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

After seeing the shock on Conan's face, David nodded in satisfaction, and then explained in a low voice:

"This group of homeless people found a box of cakes for a lady in a trash can on the street."

Eros frowned and took out a box of cakes. Is it related to the group of homeless people who put men on top of each other, locked men with strong men, had men on both sides and reluctantly rode men?

Eros didn't wonder for long, David immediately started to explain:

"The cake was filled with a strong aphrodisiac, and then the homeless people picked it up and shared it."

Having said that, David stopped talking and looked as if he should understand.

How strong aphrodisiac would it take to kill a group of people?

"Has the guy who put the strong aphrodisiac in the cake been caught?"

Eros asked David beside him while browsing the newspaper's record of the case.

Hearing Eros' words, David nodded and said:

"Found it, Viscount Lianka, the nephew of Deputy Mayor Haidaram."

"He was originally going to give it to Ms. Hilde, but he accidentally dropped it on the way, so he asked his servant to throw it into the trash can in the alley next to him."

"But I didn't expect it to be picked up by those death row inmates who escaped here."

Death row inmates? Eros was stunned, and then he saw the profiles of those homeless people in the newspaper.

Wow, he really is a fugitive.
