Tara nodded and took a few steps back respectfully, "Then the servant will change his clothes and take his place."

"Go."

Tara hurried downstairs. Just then, Avina came downstairs as well. Seeing Charles still standing halfway up the stairs, she asked, "So soon? Finished?"

"Ready."

Charles turned slightly, extended his black-gloved left hand to Avina on the stairs, and said, "It's time for us to get going."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Avina placed her right hand on Charles's palm and let her hold her hand.

"Not yet..."

Charles thought about it and said, "Maybe there will be something later."

Avina didn't respond, but just sighed lightly and said, "You have to pay attention to your spirit..."

"I will."

……

West End, Westminster, outside Windsor Palace.

Although this was not a formal dinner but a private lunch, Windsor, as the host, was still waiting at the door early to receive the invited friends.

Most of the guests were noble ladies or young men. The purpose of this luncheon was for Windsor to introduce these circles to Avina so that she could better integrate into Ansu's noble circle.

"Okay...next time I'll definitely..."

"Is your necklace new? It's as dazzling and charming as you are..."

"Haha, I remember I didn't invite you, Opold..."

"..."

Windsor received most of the guests politely. After an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the two figures.

Is she here too...

Windsor's somewhat irritable mood instantly improved a lot. She smiled and looked at the figure who was taking off his windbreaker and handing it to the waiter.

Although Avina didn't know why, she no longer had the cold attitude as before, which made Windsor a little disappointed...but Windsor was very interested in Avina's friend.

Mysterious, beautiful, dangerous... Most importantly, she has a unique charm that Windsor finds hard to resist. The heartbeat caused by looking directly into those dark red pupils also makes Windsor excited... She can't quite tell whether it is fear or an exciting heartbeat.

"You're finally here, Avina."

Windsor took a few steps forward, reached out and shook hands with Avina, who was walking in front of him, and said with a smile, "Let's go into the banquet hall first. Let the ladies-in-waiting receive the others...Okay..."

Windsor deliberately did not show that he cared too much about the girl named Charles, but the moment her hand held Avina's hand, she seemed to feel a sharp and cold gaze, which made Windsor's hand feel like it was electrocuted, and she let go of Avina's right hand.

"It's nice to see you again, Ciel,"

Windsor turned her head and looked in Charles' direction. As soon as she looked into the pupils under the mask, her heart trembled. "...I thought you wouldn't come."

"Since it's the princess's invitation, I will definitely visit,"

Charles lowered his head slightly, no longer looking at Windsor in front of him, and whispered.

"It's just right, come over and see the world."

"If you want to see the real world, you may have to prepare for it a few weeks in advance,"

Windsor controlled his gaze so as not to look at something obscene, and said, "This is just an ordinary gathering among friends... If you don't mind, please accept the invitation to the next dinner party..."

After saying that, Windsor realized that he had said too much. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Avina and said, "Of course, there is also you, Avina."

At this moment, Avina narrowed her eyes slightly... She seemed to have noticed that Windsor seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about Charles.

Windsor thought Avina had some concerns, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, Qiang Yin won't come today. I specifically asked him not to come."

She thought Avina was worried about Qiang Yin.

"No,"

Avina shook her head and put away the fake smile on her face, "I'm just sighing. I haven't been here for a long time... It's still the same as before."

After a few simple greetings, Windsor led Avina to the banquet hall. They would first enjoy a welcome reception in the banquet hall before going to the restaurant. This was a relatively relaxing session for them to talk to each other.

Ciel had no real intention of attending the party; she simply made an excuse and headed straight to the bathroom on the first floor.

This bathroom has a secret passage that connects directly to the powerful sound chamber below...but Charles has no plans to go to that chamber.

She just stood in the bathroom and waited for a while. After there were no more footsteps outside, she washed her hands in the sink, dried her hands, and opened the door.

Most of the palace servants were helping out in the banquet hall, so the main hall was empty. After leaving the bathroom, Charles walked at his usual pace, leisurely following the path he remembered, and arrived at the underground passage.

She walked in the dark passage and soon stopped in front of a wooden door. Charles raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

A dull knocking sound was heard, and soon the wooden door was opened. The light from inside restored Charles' vision.

The one who opened the door was still the crouching hairy monster. After helping Charles open the door, he crawled away quickly.

Charles raised his eyes and glanced at the collection room in front of him, and saw a tall figure hunched over the operating table.

Lafayette.

Ciel walked in and closed the door.

At this time, Lafayette also turned his head and looked at Charles.

However, Lafayette did not speak, not even a greeting.

【keen】

With his keen perception, Charles noticed that three pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

One is Lafayette, and the other is that hairless monster.

There's another one... on the innermost "wall" of the collection room.

A dark room with strong sound.

It's... strong sound...

Why is he here?! Didn’t Windsor say he wasn’t coming?

Lafayette seemed to know that the strong voice was over there, so after Charles came in, Lafayette didn't say a word.

That sight brought a huge pressure to Ciel. The "newborn" could control the speed of his heartbeat, but Ciel couldn't...

If Qiang Yin sensed my nervousness, then this simulation would be over.

Fortunately, [Calm Thinking] allowed her to remain calm and not be exposed the moment she noticed the third gaze.

"Professor Lafayette."

Charles calmly walked up to Lafayette, reached out, and took out the bottle of "Doctor" potion from the pocket of his uniform skirt.

Ciel held the potion bottle and said slowly, "This is the potion you asked for, Professor."

This was originally the potion that Charles prepared for himself, but at this point, he could only improvise.

Lafayette reached out and took the potion bottle from Ciel's hand, frowned slightly, and said, "The quality is not right...it's not perfect."

"This is the best potion you can find in Anzu City."

Ciel said, "I originally prepared this for myself."

"Hehehe...then you can continue to keep it to yourself."

Lafayette smiled nonchalantly and said, "I can't continue my experiments with potions of this quality. If you have nothing else, please return."

"I won't refund the deposit."

Ciel took back the potion bottle, stuffed it back into his pocket, and spoke coldly.

"Hehehe..."

Lafayette just smiled and didn't reply to Charles.

Ciel took the potion bottle and turned to leave, but when she walked to the door and was about to reach out to open it... the wooden door was pushed open.

A tall man with long white hair stood outside the door, squinting his eyes and looking at Charles with a smile.

"Mr. Strongest Voice?"

Ciel reacted quickly, lowering his head and stepping aside, without making direct eye contact with Qiang Yin.

"Haha... Professor Lafayette's friend?"

Qiang Yin's gaze lingered on Charles for a moment before he looked towards Lafayette and spoke slowly, "I've never heard...that the professor has such a young friend..."

Charles bent her right hand slightly and made a gesture to grab me. As long as she wanted, the pocket watch would appear in the palm of her hand the next moment.

Lafayette remained silent. She raised her head, looked through the eyepiece in the direction of Qiang Yin, and spoke slowly.

"Everyone has secrets, Qiangyin...you have them, and so do I."

The atmosphere fell silent again. After a long moment, Qiang Yin slowly moved aside, making way for him. He smiled and said, "Sorry, Miss Ciel... Please continue upstairs and enjoy the banquet."

The conversation on the ground could not escape Qiang Yin's ears.

Charles lowered his head, walked around Qiangyin, and walked quickly towards the ground.

Qiang Yin, after watching Charles leave, looked towards Lafayette again.

"There shouldn't be any secrets between us..."

"Mother……"

228

Chapter 228 Even if rivers of blood flow.

Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck...

I walked quickly to the hall, the oppressive feeling I had just felt after seeing Qiang Yin still lingered in my heart.

In this simulation, Lafayette's memory was completely distorted by her simulated self using the "Subversive" archive in cooperation with Avina, but it did not change too much of her previous memories... It just made her believe that she had joined a mysterious organization.

Lafayette and Qiang Yin were now together, and it was obvious that Qiang Yin would definitely notice something. If Qiang Yin had been more cautious, he might have directly called in the "new students" of the Royal Medical College to examine Lafayette...

If Lafayette was really found to have tampered with his memory, then Charles, who met with Lafayette, would also be completely exposed.

In this way, let alone finding out the information about the otherworldly nodes of the Church of the God of Order, even whether one can survive for 24 hours in this simulation is questionable.

There are two plans for Shire now.

One is to ignore Qiang Yin and drink the "Doctor" potion directly, find Adele and ask her for a dehydration virus sample - this is something made by Adele, so she will naturally keep it - and then go directly to the East District to spread the virus and prepare for the jump to the second-level "Epidemic Messenger".

The second is to activate the contingency plan and directly activate the blood array in the East District to attract the attention of the Church of the God of Order and Qiang Yin, and then take Lafayette with him to find the method of entering the node of the other world held by the Church of the God of Order during the chaos.

After only seven steps towards the door, Charles had already made up his mind.

Potion, I know the reproduction ritual, and I have a simulation in hand. I can complete the reproduction ritual and digest it at any time.

But intelligence is not available in every simulation.

What's more, this is information that is enough to kill Qiang Yin.

Although the method used by Charles in the simulation to use the gate to the other world to transfer is feasible, after the crazy level 4 strong sound comes out, Charles will still be within the influence range of the strong sound - because both Charles and Avina must be present to monitor the mental state of the strong sound at all times, and they can leave only at the last moment.

If the method of entering the node of the Otherworld from the Church of the God of Order could be obtained, it would mean that Ciel and Qiangyin could enter the same node of the Otherworld simultaneously from different locations...

Even at different times, he and Qiang Yin entered the same node of the other world.

Transcend time and space, drive crazy with powerful sound...

This is how no one can find out about Charles.

In his previous conversation with Dark Worm, Charles knew that the memories of creatures from the other world would not be affected by external time and space. It was more like a common "transit station" in different time and space.

Charles slowly stopped, then turned around and walked towards the back garden.

She would stay here, signal Tara, and then act accordingly.

As long as Lafayette was not killed on the spot by Qiang Yin, Lafayette would definitely find him.

But this time, the blood formation... Charles didn't know whether it would succeed.

Because the flesh and blood used are basically the extraordinary people of the "Crown Guard" or "Detective" paths. Although Charles also left some of his own blood, it may not be able to communicate with the Dark Worm.
