Lucy, upon hearing the familiar voice, looked towards the door in a daze. When she finally saw who was coming, she raised the bottle, swung it, and slammed it against the wall, shouting in frustration, "I've never lost a bet! Never!"

She gasped, looked in the direction of Charles, and said through gritted teeth:

"You had better come to make me rich, my friend."

189

Chapter 189: Windsor's Death and Reunion.

Although Lucy was drunk and even walked unsteadily, her thinking logic did not seem to be affected too much by the drunkenness.

She swayed around Charles, closed the door, turned to look at Charles, and asked:

"How many servants saw you?"

Lucy said this in a calm tone, as if as long as Ciel started to describe it, she would "deal with" those people.

But Lucy didn't know that the person standing in front of her was no longer "Judge" Charles.

"Don't worry, no one can see me."

Ciel shook his head and asked, "What happened outside during the days I was in there?"

What Charles needs to understand most now is what has happened in the outside world in the nearly one month since September 9, when he was arrested by the Royal Music in the simulation, until now.

It was not until October 10nd that the simulated self got his "spiritual notes". Until October 2th when he arrived, the information he could get in the meantime basically came from Windsor. Even reading newspapers was forbidden.

Windsor has a morbid desire to control Charles, controlling what she can and cannot see... I don't know how the simulated self can hold on.

Lucy sighed slowly at Ciel's question.

This period was simply the darkest time she had ever experienced.

During the days when Charles disappeared, Avina, who was closest to Charles, chose to return to the family to negotiate in order to seek revenge and rescue Charles, which was equivalent to being protected by the Russell family.

All the remaining pressure fell on Lucy, who welcomed Ciel and his group to Anzu, and for this she had to seek external cooperation.

In order to prevent the Redemption Society from revealing the location of Charles' sister, she secretly contacted the top leaders of the Redemption Society and conveyed the news that she still had samples in her hands.

At this time, the Redemption Society was holding its breath and had nowhere to vent. The Ansu Medical Association under their jurisdiction was the largest medical association in Ansu.

After learning that there were more samples, they blocked all news about Charles' sister and kept sending people to contact Lucy in order to get the samples.

The Russell family is such a big family, but they investigated a bombing case that shocked the whole country for such a long time without any information leaking out. Even when they finally announced the arrest, the perpetrator was actually just a gangster from the Saint Cathedral district?

is it possible?

People will believe this explanation, but they will not believe it if they know that it involves salvation with supernatural powers.

The Redemption Society also realized that something was amiss and no longer believed the information provided by any organization that had any interest in the Russell family, and began its own investigation.

But they did not have the same mentality as Charles, and did not dare to capture an archbishop of the Church of the God of Order to brainwash him. Naturally, they could not find any results from the investigation, and they did not even suspect the Church of the God of Order.

Lucy thought the time was ripe, so she revealed the news that Charles, an insider, was imprisoned in the royal family. As long as they found Charles, the mystery behind the case could be solved.

But after realizing that the matter was connected to the royal family and the Church of the God of Order, the Redemption Society fell silent and gave up on the investigation. However, they promised Lucy that they would not reveal any information and would protect the people they promised to protect.

No matter what, the original intention of their Redemption Society was just to cure diseases and save lives. If they continue to investigate, it may trigger a bigger war, which is something they don't want to see.

Lucy didn't expect that the Redemption would stop there. She knew that there was a high possibility that she would be sold. She couldn't even contact Avina, so she had to bite the bullet and transfer other people.

She had just met with Charles's maid guard to pass on a secret message when she was investigated by the Deton Patrol that night.

There must be a traitor within the Oracle Society or among his own subordinates.

Fortunately, within the Deton Group, the status of a director is equivalent to a get-out-of-jail-free card. Although Lucy was interrogated every day after being suspended, the Deton Group did not use any violence against her. She managed to get through the daily inspections by getting drunk and pretending to be crazy.

It wasn't that she was completely mad, but being dismissed was a huge blow to Lucy. It was like all her previous efforts were in vain. She hadn't even been in the position of director for two months...

But if this continues, if the royal family gets wind of the news and continues to put pressure on the Deton Group, it might not be the patrol team that comes next time...

Lucy sometimes hesitated, wondering whether to just give in. Although this would sell out Ciel's people, she could get her seat on the board again and wouldn't have to face the death threats that might come at any time.

The most important thing is that it has been almost a month and she has not received any news from the Charles organization. She doesn't even know whether Charles is still alive.

Now Lucy survives almost every day by throwing the "lucky coin". She is thinking that when she gets two tails, she will decisively go to the patrol department to reveal all the information.

——Because she didn't think that in such a desperate situation, she could withstand the bad luck of the coin landing on the wrong side of the coin twice.

After killing so many people and injuring Professor Ashford, the Redemption Society actually just swallowed its anger?

Ciel's brow furrowed slightly as he listened to Lucy's story.

In this case, the Redemption Society is not an option for cooperation... They are not ungrateful if they agree to continue protecting Lizzie, but their purpose makes them not want to escalate the matter any further.

Unless it involves their fundamental interests...

"What about the Savior Goddess Cult? Has it taken any action recently?"

Ciel looked at Lucy and asked.

"They are very active in this matter, but they are completely clueless,"

Lucy shook her head and said, "The Savior Goddess Church has been in decline in Ansu City since the split, and can't cause any trouble. The situation in North Ansu has already made them exhausted."

It was probably based on this consideration that Lucy did not choose to contact the Savior Goddess Church, but shared the information with the Redemption Society. Who would have thought that the Redemption Society would actually retreat.

After all, they played the role of victims in this matter. The public will not feel disgusted with the Ansu Medical Association because of this incident, and may even sympathize with them.

But the situation is different for the Savior Goddess Cult. As long as the famine in Bei'ansu is not resolved, their influence will weaken day by day.

Suddenly, Charles thought of something and asked, "Is Adele still carrying the samples?"

"The 'plague doctor'?"

Lucy sat down on the sofa dejectedly and said, "Yes, she took everything with her. I offered to keep it for her, but she said she had made some progress in her research, so I let her take it with her."

"It's a good thing I didn't take the samples, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to avoid the previous searches."

Hearing this, Charles' eyes lit up and he asked, "What's the progress?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything about this stuff."

Lucy shook her head and said helplessly, "The entire Redemption Society hasn't figured this out yet. Her progress is probably limited, and there's not enough time for her to research."

Limited progress is not a problem...

As long as she could bring these advances back to reality, Adele could continue her research based on them... With more simulations and more progress, Adele might actually come up with something...

Ciel's view of things is completely different from Lucy's, because Lucy only thinks about time in a linear way, while Ciel has more things to consider.

Time jumping is her unique advantage.

"What about you? Did the organization bring you out? What are you going to do next?"

Lucy leaned her elbows on her thighs and looked up at Ciel, asking.

Charles roughly told Lucy about what he had encountered in the simulated Windsor Palace, and told her some of the things he had gotten out of Windsor.

"Damn it... No one in this royal family is human from top to bottom."

After listening to Ciel's investigation and experience, Lucy frowned and couldn't help but curse.

But soon, Lucy realized something and said, "You said you brainwashed a maid to kill Princess Windsor?"

"Yes."

Ciel nodded.

"Ugh……"

Lucy scratched her head and said irritably, "She's a transcendent, and she has the royal seal and transcendental items on her. She definitely can't die... But if you kill her on the spot, you definitely won't be able to escape..."

"But you've already angered the royal family. Princess Windsor certainly can't protect you. The Royal Movement will soon send the Queen's Sword out to hunt you down..."

Lucy pulled her hair in distress. She seemed to have no idea how to resolve this deadlock.

But Charles didn't have such worries. She only had to consider what would happen within 22 hours.

For Charles, these difficulties are like a chain of knots. As long as she finds how to untie the first knot, she can solve all the difficulties step by step.

The most important thing is information and intelligence.

"Is there no way you can contact Avina?"

Ciel inquired.

Apart from Tara, the best place to get intelligence now is from Avina. She decided to find Avina first and then look for Tara.

Anyway, she will leave this world in 22 hours, so there is no need to worry about the subsequent impact.

"Avina Russell...Miss Shire!"

Lucy's head snapped up and she looked in Ciel's direction.

"You've escaped now. By the time Windsor realizes what's happening, Princess Windsor or the Queen's Sword will definitely go looking for Miss Russell first. Miss Russell is trying every possible way to get information about the Royal Music. Everyone else knows it."

"If you escape, she will be the biggest suspect besides me... Besides, she, and I, don't know you're with Princess Windsor..."

Charles nodded slightly.

The primary goal now is to find Avina, take her to a safe place, and ask her about the situation.

Even in the simulation, Charles didn't want Avina to encounter any accidents.

After settling Avina, go find Tara...

Charles even suspected that Tara had been secretly gathering strength to prepare for a "prison break", which seemed like something she could do.

Finally, I'll tell the truth to the top leaders of the Savior Goddess Cult and test their reaction to see if there's any room for exploitation...

Soon, Charles arranged a sequence of what he was going to do next.

Charles: "Is she at Russell House now?"

Lucy: “Yes.”

Charles: "Let's go find her."

Lucy: "Okay, what's our team composition?"

Ciel: "The two of us."

Lucy: "?"

Lucy had a confused expression on her face, and she looked at Ciel in front of her with some hesitation in her eyes.

Is she crazy or am I drunk and misheard?

There are so many extraordinary people in Russell Mansion. She can go whenever she wants, and it’s just the two of them?

A "man of destiny" and a "judge of law" would risk their lives to break through the defenses of those "crown guards"?

Lucy stood up and wanted to say something, but she stepped on the wine bottle at her feet and fell forward uncontrollably. The carpet was littered with sharp fragments of the wine bottle she had broken before.

There was no time to defend herself, and the glass shard went straight towards Lucy's eyeball.

"Ho-!"

A heavy breathing sound was heard, and Lucy got up from the ground in a panic. She raised her hand to touch her eyeball, but she didn't feel any wound.

The place where she was standing was no longer the sofa, but the center of the room.

And Ciel was still standing at the door, looking at Lucy calmly, with a pink halo flickering in his pupils.

"Let's go, Miss Lucy."

Ciel said calmly.

"You are……"

Lucy calmed her beating heart. Just now, she was completely sober, and she also realized it.

The person standing in front of him was not Charles at all, but someone from the organization.

It was the mysterious "disruptor" who had worked with him before...

"Law Judge" plus "Destiny" doesn't work, but replacing "Law Judge" with "Subversive"...

Everything is possible.

"Let's go, do it!"

Seeing the possibility of winning the bet, Lucy gritted her teeth and continued, "Give me a minute to sort it out."
