She placed the strand of hair in her palm. For Angel Gerabi, this small clue was enough.
Soon, this strand of hair that she found at the scene floated out of Angel Gerabi's palm. This would lead her to the owner of the strand of hair.
However, the strand of hair only floated out for a moment before it spontaneously combusted in the air … In the end, not many ashes were left.
Angel Gerabi's expression gradually turned solemn.
This meant that the owner of the strand of hair couldn't be found … In fact, the owner of the strand of hair might be much more powerful than her.
However, at this moment, in the [City of Freedom], there shouldn't be anyone more powerful than her, a High Angel, in theory, except for those supreme Saints.
This matter was much more serious than it seemed on the surface.
Time passed little by little. As a High Angel, she still hadn't made any progress in finding the culprit. This was extremely inconceivable.
Powerful strength seemed to be useless in this matter … There were too many restrictions. In order to complete the Holy Maiden Ritual smoothly, she couldn't stop everything.
This matter wasn't something that she could easily solve. At this moment, Angel Gerabi was even a little hesitant. She didn't know if she should call the Archangel now.
"The Holy Maiden Ritual is related to the resurrection of the Saints. There can't be any mistakes. If I make a mistake in this matter, I'm afraid the consequences …"
With this thought, Angel Gerabi no longer hesitated.
She turned into a stream of light and came to the roof of the building. She slowly knelt down toward the sky and prayed … called.
Soon, a beam of light shot down from the sky and shone on Angel Gerabi's body.
She knew that this was the Archangel's response.
Not daring to hesitate, Angel Gerabi hurriedly told him everything that had happened … She lowered her head. After telling him everything, she could only wait.
"It seems that someone doesn't want the resurrection day to go smoothly."
A gentle voice sounded in Angel Gerabi's ears. She subconsciously raised her head and saw a barefooted man in coarse linen clothes.
Archangel, [Saint John]!
"My Lord!" Angel Gerabi was a little surprised. She didn't expect this Lord to come at this time.
"The creation of the willpower went smoothly." The man in rough clothes nodded and said, "Now it's the finishing work. It doesn't matter if I'm not here. Or rather, I should be paying more attention to the Holy Maiden ritual. "
"Sir, after the murder appeared, I immediately sealed off the entire venue." Angel Gerabe quickly said, "I've discussed with Langdu, and it's better to start the ceremony as scheduled. It's just that … we don't know where the murderer is hiding right now. "
Saint John thought for a moment and said, "Why do you think the murderer killed a Holy Maiden candidate?"
Angel Gerabe said, "I'm afraid it's because of the ceremony … I even suspect that it's the same thing as the [Holy Fall] of the [Saint] in the Free City. On the day of the [Holy Fall], Longdu once said that he followed a certain light but lost it … The person behind this light is most likely the one who caused the [Holy Fall] of the Saint. "
[Saint John] didn't say anything.
Angel Gerabi couldn't help but ask nervously, "My lord, am I wrong?"
"Yes, but it's also not right." At this moment, [Saint John] gently shook his head and said with a calm expression, "The person who killed the Holy Maiden candidate is the same as the one who caused the [Holy Fall], so I agree. But this time, the purpose is probably to make me or other supreme beings notice this place so that they can show up. "
"To make you … show up?" Angel Gerabe was slightly shocked. "Who dares to do this?"
"I don't know." [Saint John] shook his head. "When I was creating the power of free will, I noticed an extremely obscure power filled with hatred flashing past the border of the Holy Light Kingdom."
"A power filled with hatred … How can this be?" Angel Gerabe opened his mouth in disbelief. "All the humans in the Holy Light Kingdom are the reincarnations of pure believers who ascended to heaven from the lower world … From the very beginning, they are people who have already given up their faith. How can there be hatred?"
"Then it can only mean that there's a problem at the root." [Saint John] pointed out.
Angel Gerabe frowned. "My lord, I'm confused."
[Saint John] suddenly said, "If you're not confused, I think I need to be suspicious of you."
Angel Gerabe was instantly shocked. She was about to say something, but [Saint John] suddenly waved his hand. "Take me to the recording hall. Let me witness the birth of a new Holy Maiden."
"My lord, you want to watch the ceremony?" Angel Gerabe was stunned.
[Saint John] said calmly, "It's the same whether I watch it in the sky or on the ground. Why can't I watch it on the spot … It's the same anyway, isn't it?"
That was the truth, but Angel Gerabe felt that something was wrong. However, she couldn't explain it. However, she couldn't hesitate when it came to the orders of an archangel.
Therefore, Angel Gerabe nodded. "My lord, please follow me."
[Saint John] took one step forward.
In the first step, he noticed some changes in his appearance. It changed from divine to ordinary.
The second step was to change into an ordinary set of clothes and put on a pair of shoes.
On the third step, he turned into an inconspicuous young man.
…
…
"Can't it be faster?"
In the car, Mr. Assaches urged the taxi driver impatiently … He was on the way back to the mansion. On the way, he called K er Lili.
However, he still couldn't get in touch with K er Lili.
"As you can see, it's all blocked. I can't do anything about it." The driver said helplessly, "There's a traffic jam everywhere."
"I'll get off here!" Mr. Assaches threw a purple crystal card into the car and pushed the door open to get off.
But at this moment, the phone rang. Mr. Arthashis hurriedly picked it up … but the person who called wasn't Chris.
"Celine? Why are you calling me at this time? "Mr. Assaches couldn't help but frown.
"Sir, did you ask Miss K er Lili from your mansion to attend the Holy Maiden Ceremony?"
On the other side of the phone, Celine was silent for a moment and asked suddenly.
Mr. Assaches said subconsciously, "K er Lili will attend the Holy Maiden Ceremony? How is that possible … Wait, where are you? "
"I … I'm at the ceremony venue."
Mr. Assaches was startled and then nodded. He didn't ask the reason but quickly said, "Celine, I'm glad you're willing to step on this stage again. But I have to tell you, please leave this stage immediately … I don't want to stop you from becoming a Holy Maiden, but at least I hope you can leave this ceremony. "
"Mr. Assaches, do you know something?" There was a hint of worry in Sister Celine's voice. "A murder case just happened here, and the victim is Hua Ying … the niece of Durand City Mayor."
"What —!"
A scream was heard.
The people around looked at Mr. Assaches. He quickly lowered his head and covered the phone, dodging to the side of the street, "Celine, say it again. What happened at the venue?"
"Sir, I can't talk to you for too long. Listen to me." Celine quickly said, "I called you while I was hiding. Now, this place is under strict surveillance. Everyone is afraid and suspicious! Moreover, I really saw Miss Ke Lili here. Although I've only seen the maids of your residence from afar and have never formally met her, you know that I have a very good memory … So, she really is here! Okay, that's all I can say. There seems to be someone outside … I have to go out. "
Celine's voice gradually became softer.
Mr. Assaches's voice became louder and louder, "Celine, listen to me. No matter what method you use, leave the venue immediately. There's no Jane … Celine, Celine?!"
Looking at the disconnected call, Assaches was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone on the ground — but because he was poor, he couldn't do it in the end.
"Celine is at the venue, so is K er Lili … Durand's niece is dead?" Mr. Assaches finally punched the wall in the alley, "And that President's conspiracy, Teacher Calvin's doing … What the hell is this? I was only unconscious for a few hours … Why did I encounter all these at this age? What is this? The delayed treatment of a main character! Moreover, it was the kind of super trash that abused its master! Damn it! "
Gritting his teeth, Assaches turned around and ran to the street outside, running all the way to the venue of the conference.
…
"The person inside, I'll say it again. Please come out immediately!"
Hearing the heavy voice outside, Sister Celine nervously held the phone in the dressing room … She gritted her teeth and stepped on the phone under her foot. Then, she quickly took off her clothes, leaving only her underwear.
"Open the door!"
Sister Celine used her clothes to cover her body and opened the door, only to see a few girls standing outside.
Sister Celine frowned, "There are so many dressing rooms outside, are you crazy?"
The girls outside the door quickly sized her up and one of them said, "I've been observing you for a long time. You took so long to change your clothes … Do you have any unspeakable secret? Senior Hua Ying's death, is it related to you? "
Sister Celine sneered, "I have a secret, and now you've seen it all! You're scared, you're nervous, and you're even like frightened birds, huddling together and suspecting each other. That's your problem, but don't come looking for trouble with me for no reason. No matter what … I'm still your senior! The fifth place of the previous Holy Maiden candidate, don't bother me if you don't have anything else! "
"You!"
How could Sister Celine be afraid of this kind of backstage fight? Moreover, the opponents were a group of juniors who had never been pushed to the ground by society.
She sneered, "Instead of wasting time on this kind of thing, you'd better adjust your mentality. Don't forget the lyrics and dance when you're officially on the stage … You've even forgotten how to please the judges!"
With that, Sister Celine slammed the door shut and no longer paid any attention to him.
"What's there to be proud of … So what if you're from the previous Holy Maiden? Didn't you still fail? You came back to fight with us this time!"
The girls said a few words angrily, but they seemed to feel that they couldn't stay any longer, so they left.
Sister Celine immediately opened the door and walked out … These girls were not the first batch — In fact, since the official announcement of the cancellation of the dress rehearsal and the waiting time was up, the Holy Maiden candidates backstage were already in a mess.
The mentors sent by the academy couldn't control the situation at all.
Mr. Assaches said it was dangerous here … Actually, even without him saying it, Sister Celine knew it would be dangerous to stay here. Murder might still be lurking in the venue.
But now … The venue was locked down, so it wouldn't be easy to leave.
'Maybe I can talk to the headmaster?'
Sister Celine thought to herself. But at this time, they were not allowed to leave the backstage, let alone look for Murder … There were people guarding the front and back of the corridor, and they wouldn't let them go.
"Hmm … Miss K er Lili?"
A figure suddenly walked past Sister Celine. She didn't seem to notice that there was someone in the corridor and quickly walked past.
Sister Celine hurriedly chased after him, but when she reached the corner, he was nowhere to be seen.
She clearly saw that the person was Mr. Assaches's little maid. She couldn't be mistaken!
"She looks a little … strange."
With that thought in mind, a shadowy figure appeared behind Sister Selian out of the blue. With extreme speed, the shadowy figure reached out and strangled Sister Selian's body, covering her mouth and nose.
Sister Celine struggled in horror, but she was soon dragged into a dark room.
…
…
[Rose Mansion]
Hundreds of halos hovered around Miss Maid.
Her hands kept twisting the floating halos, and her eyes were fixed on the almost burned Destiny Diary: Fache's Destiny Diary Remnant.
"What a cunning guy."
Miss Maid's hands suddenly stopped moving. She didn't continue twisting the halos. Instead, she picked up the Destiny Diary and muttered to herself.
There was a huge clock beside her. From the moment she entered the room, Miss Maid had set the time for herself.
Hearing the sound of the pendulum clock, Miss Maid's frown gradually loosened. She looked back at the clock and seemed to have thought of something. She put down the things in her hands and walked out of the room for the first time.
[Rose Mansion] was so empty that there was almost no sound.
Miss Maid casually looked around and walked to the end of the corridor … In the room at the end of the corridor, a girl was lying on the bed.
The girl from [Donremi Village], Jeanne.
In front of the bed, Miss Maid looked at the girl's face. After a while, she said softly, "It's difficult to find the root of the problem in one day with conventional methods. We can only try some unconventional methods."
With that said, Miss Maid stretched out her finger.
Her finger seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end, she quickly tapped on Jeanne's forehead.
"You, go on that stage … as me."
The girl on the bed began to slowly open her eyes.
…
If Miss Nan was here, she would probably widen her eyes and look at him with admiration. Then, she would exclaim in amazement, "Good guy, no wonder he is the woman who oppressed me so much. He can even use me. What a scary guy …" and so on.
