Charles glanced at the time, it was 4:30 in the morning.

It's time to break the "convention" and "rationality" in Avina's fixed thinking.

"Eight hours and fifteen minutes ago, the train exploded."

Charles looked at Avina and asked seriously, "If I go back to that time and kill everyone on the train, is it possible to find that person or 'thing'?"

Hearing Charles' words, Avina's originally high-speed thinking suddenly stopped. She blinked at Charles, and after a while, she said: "It's possible... but not likely..."

Charles' words left Avina speechless for a moment, because they were too outrageous.

If we follow what Charles said, going back to the past, getting back on that train and killing everyone on it might indeed force out the mastermind, but the act of "going back to the past" itself is impossible.

And apart from anything else, just Charles's idea was a bit scary.

Regardless of whether or not they could go back to the past, the mere fact of killing everyone on the train was already too brutal—it felt like something the Holy Advent Cult or some other cult would do.

There are at least three or four hundred people on a train. Let alone actually taking action, just thinking about it makes Avina feel a little physically uncomfortable.

Avina had no problem helping Charles cover up a few murders or deal with a few scumbags, but this was a bit too extreme.

Charles, who has always been rational, came up with such an unrealistic fantasy, which made Avina feel a little strange.

"Just an assumption, Avina."

Charles looked at Avina in front of him and said, "No matter how outrageous the hypothesis is, you can say it. As long as it is possible to investigate the truth, even if the premise is to go to the other world, it is conceivable."

Looking at Charles' encouraging eyes, Avina felt her thoughts were a little confused.

She took a deep breath and rested her hands on the dressing table, slowing herself down a bit.

Forget it... Ciel must have her reasons for saying this. I just need to follow the information Ciel gave me and make these assumptions...

After pondering it in her mind for a while, Avina began to give up on herself.

She was not good at making such illogical assumptions.

After a moment of silence, she looked at Charles and said, "If I really have to assume this, I would choose to go back to the past, to a time before these disasters, and avoid them..."

So there's nothing to assume.

Avina repeated this sentence in her heart but did not say it out loud.

"Right, that is it."

Ciel nodded and continued with a smile:

"I think so too."

"But going back to the past when we weren't locked into the rules of doom would make it more difficult to find the real culprit."

"The most important thing is, I'm not sure when exactly I was targeted... But I should be able to solve this problem."

Listening to Charles's clear and logical explanation, Avina was a little stunned.

Make it look like the real thing.

"So, Avina, what method do you think I should use now to most likely find the culprit behind this?"

Charles asked, looking at Avina.

Having someone to discuss these things with will indeed broaden Charles's thinking. Even if it cannot broaden her thinking, it can help Charles to reorganize her ideas, which is very helpful to her.

After hearing Charles' question, Avina took another deep breath, decided to abandon the so-called rational thinking, and said:

"If it were up to me... I'd probably gather all the people who have suffered from the Rule of Doom together and see what happens."

"Although this might double the bad luck, if we gather them together, we might be able to find common ground among them, and possibly even directly lead to the true culprit behind the scenes..."

As Avina spoke, she closed her mouth.

Because she saw Charles' eyes light up slightly in front of her.

She wouldn't really want to...

"Good idea, Avina."

Ciel nodded and said, "But how can we get them to get together? After all, both of them are at the third level."

"Lucy is fine. She's seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet, so she can be kidnapped directly."

"But if I take Lucy directly to Clocktower Alley to find Opold, I'm sure to attract Hugh from the Savior Cult."

Seeing that Charles really started to analyze the feasibility of this matter, Avina began to panic.

Is Ciel serious?

Does she really want to gather together all the people affected by the rules of doom?

Although she didn't know what the consequences would be, just thinking about it made Avina feel a great danger.

This will definitely kill me...

But she knew very well that Charles was not the kind of person who would seek his own death...

"As for Opold, I have a way to get him out."

Avina looked into Charles' eyes and said:

"Lucy, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"But there's a condition."

"For your safety, Nia and I will go to the place you want to specify together - but we will only watch from a distance. If you are in danger, I will let Nia intervene."

At this moment, Nia, who was giving instructions to the messenger on the first floor, shuddered inexplicably, and the iron frames of her body knocked against each other, making a crackling sound.

Chapter 109 The most desperate day.

Boom——!

A flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, making a deafening sound and illuminating the piled clouds in the sky above the city of Burren.

Lucy leaned back in the VIP lounge of Deton Manor, looking towards the distant city of Burren, where the clouds were rolling and thunder was roaring, like a hurricane approaching.

Kebulun City is just an inland city, and light rain is common. Heavy rain and thunder like this may not be seen once in decades.

There is quite a bit of acid rain.

Lucy reached into her pocket and pulled out a small, exquisite rectangular snuff box inlaid with delicate gems and enamel.

She tapped the outside of the box gently, causing the fine tobacco powder mixed with some extraordinary materials to gather in the semicircular plate in the center of the box. Then, she pushed open the box, gently picked up a pinch of snuff with her right hand, and put it under her nose.

In those days, snuff was one of the most popular social items in Ansu's upper class. Not only were the snuff boxes more exquisite and expensive than each other, but even neighboring countries had issued amnesty for how to smoke snuff.

It is estimated that the red-haired judge will die soon... Then the "Coin of Luck" will return to her again in an extremely "accidental" way - it is not so easy to get rid of this seal.

However, giving this thing to the other party was also a way of repaying the other party for saving her life. Lucy felt that she had a clear conscience. If she really died, it only meant that she was unlucky.

Let's end this day quickly...

Lucy now had two hours of rest time. At six in the morning, she had to show up at the underground temple on time to conduct unnecessary investigations, otherwise disaster would strike again...

She still didn't understand why she had encountered such an outrageous disaster a few hours ago even though she had clearly followed the rules.

Ugh……

Lucy gently kneaded the snuff, half lying on the sofa, and took a deep breath. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

"Open the door, Inquisition."

"Cough cough cough cough cough -"

Lucy was choked and almost couldn't catch her breath. She started coughing madly, and tears came out of her cough.

No! Sister!

Are you serious? Do you know how dangerous you are right now?! And you're still here?!

Lucy hurriedly closed her snuffbox and stood up, casually wiping her tears and nose with a handkerchief, then quickly walked to the door and opened it.

"No, sir, who are you?"

When Lucy saw the shorter, white-haired man in black at the door, she was stunned.

Whose child is this?

Why is there another smaller one?

Are all your courts like this?

"Gus Ashwood."

The girl looked up expressionlessly at Lucy, who was looking puzzled.

She spread her black-gloved palm in front of her, and an exquisite black and silver pendant slid down her palm, finally hooked by the black chain wrapped around her finger, swaying gently under her palm.

The moment she saw the emblem, Lucy straightened her back and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, are you here..."

At this moment, Lucy saw the other party's serious expression and had already vaguely realized the other party's intention.

She was different from the Inquisition member who had just happened to save her... Her expression made it seem as if she was really out to cause trouble for him.

Moreover, she looked more professional than the girl from the Inquisition before.

"You should be aware of the cooperation reached between Deton Headquarters and our sect."

Gus said fluently and quickly:

"The cultists at Deton headquarters have been completely cleaned out. Now we're starting to investigate all employees at all other branches... You're the manager here, Lucy Silva."

"Please cooperate with the Tribunal's investigation."

really……

After this incident, the headquarters has been investigating every employee and has caught many people from the Holy Advent Sect - and even arrested some members of other secret sects.

This gust of wind finally blew to me.

But this judge in front of her... always makes Lucy's eyelids twitch, and she always has a bad premonition... Her premonitions have always been very accurate.

"Yes, I am the manager here, Lucy Silva."

Lucy spoke up, deciding to calm the Inquisitor in front of her for the time being. She said, "You can conduct any investigation you want on my staff... but I'm sorry, I'm not available to accept the investigation at the moment."

"Ok?"

Gus's tone rose slightly, and her voice seemed filled with dissatisfaction, as if she was about to suddenly kill someone in the next second.

Lucy also knew that if she wanted to avoid the other party, she had to come up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise it was very likely that the other party would take direct action and force her to take a lie detector test.

"You can see it, Master Gus."

Lucy said, "I was fatally injured. It was a misfortune that I encountered while investigating the evil cult of the Holy Advent Sect. My current physical condition requires me to rest well."

"And...your colleague, the Inquisitor who saved me, was able to save me. Doesn't this prove that I don't need additional scrutiny?"

Has the judge come?

At this time, Tara, who used the alias Gus and disguised her hair color, felt a cold sweat on her back.

How come I don't have this information? "Nail" never reported this to me. At least before today, no Inquisitor had ever come to Burren City or Deton Manor.

Did he just happen to arrive a while ago? That's such a bad time...

"Where is she? Where is she?"

Tara didn't panic, and continued calmly, "I need to get some details from her."

"she……"

Lucy wanted to say that she was probably dead, but after thinking it over, she changed her words to something more euphemistic. "You should be able to see news about her at dawn."

Lucy's words made Tara keenly aware that she seemed to have some reason not to accept the review.

In order to complete the Mother Goddess's mission, Tara decided to take a gamble.

Tara reached out and took out a simple pocket watch from his arms. After glancing at the time, he said, "Well, it will be morning soon. I'll wait here."

After hearing Tara's words, Lucy, who was already depressed, felt like the sky was falling.

She didn't dare sleep while being watched by the Inquisitor.
