Chapter 377 Did I not lie?

"Detective Sherlock, congratulations, you have successfully been drawn into this vortex."

Triss smiled sweetly at the detective opposite her.

She spent some time recounting her experiences since arriving in Backlund—being captured by a witch cult, having her name changed, being forced to wear a ring, having her mind altered, and becoming a prince's plaything.
“You can report me to the three major churches and have the ‘Punisher,’ the ‘Night Watcher,’ or the ‘Mechanical Heart’ arrest me.”

Her life, her destiny, was being manipulated by an invisible hand, designed to make her cease to be herself. She was unwilling to accept this and wanted to fight back, resorting to all sorts of means to achieve it!
"I believe that you will fight hard for your own life. That way, I can also have a chance to escape."

She said with a smile.

The detective before her was in a state of utter shock, which seemed quite amusing. If time weren't so short, Triss wouldn't mind teasing him a little.
"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you something you might find interesting, especially for those official extraordinary individuals."

Triss added.

"whats the matter?"

Klein suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

“There’s a Despair Witch spreading a plague in the East End. I escaped while she was busy. The exact location is Roscoe Street, which seems to be the territory of a gang called the ‘Lehman Gang.’ If the people from the three major churches can capture that demigod, it will be a huge help to me.”

After saying that, she concealed herself, jumped off the train, and left.

"."

Klein gripped his right arm with his left hand, suppressing the trembling in his body.

Triss Chick.
This is the name Triss is now called by the witch cult, and when he recalls this name, he feels a strong sense of unease again.

Not for any other reason, but because the original owner of this name was no ordinary person. From Roselle's diary, Klein already knew that the original witch's name was Chick.

A symbol of the apocalypse, a pillar among the evil gods, the "Primal Witch," Chick!

Triss is the vessel through which the evil god descends!
A spiritual intuition screamed in his mind. Klein knew he knew something terrible, and the disaster of being silenced was about to strike. He had to do something!
"boom!"

He first used "Flame Leap" to escape from the carriage and get onto the road outside.

Red Rose Manor is located on the outskirts of the city, about a ten-minute drive from the nearest town, and there aren't many people around. Klein used "Flame Leap" repeatedly to reach a place farther away from the road.

The first thing he did was take out the brass whistle that Mr. Azik had left him and blow it hard. The whistle made no sound; instead, in his spiritual vision, a fountain of white bones rose from the ground. The fountain formed a giant skeletal messenger, its eyes burning with black flames, reaching out its hand to Klein.

Klein took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote down a single word, "Help," and tossed it to the messenger.

After doing all this, he dared not stop for a moment, and quickly disguised himself as a follower to begin transmitting information to the members of the Tarot Society.

To Audrey, who is "Justice," he conveys the message that "Triss is a witch who has been renamed Chick," and the Fool adds that "Chick is the original witch's real name," thus reminding Audrey to immediately report it to the Church of the True God.

As for [Temperance] Luze, his message was even more concise—"Your pasture is about to be attacked by a witch!"

As "Klein," through his interactions with Luze, he learned of Luze's efforts in impersonating him—such as resettling the homeless and establishing herds with the help of the Rayman Gang. The witch demigod's attack occurred precisely in Luze's pasture; whether by coincidence or design, Luze's herds are in danger!
Time was of the essence, and the situation was dire; this was the only way he could warn Lu Ze. But the consequence was that he might expose [The World]'s true identity to the other party—but he had no time, no inclination to consider a more reasonable approach!

Klein grabbed two prayer fragments and threw them into the stars corresponding to the two people, then quickly escaped the gray mist. Just as he was about to desperately escape, he suddenly felt the sky above him brighten.

He instinctively looked up and saw a dazzling light blooming in the sky. It was a meteorite burning with intense flames, tearing through the sky, passing through the leaden clouds, and crashing down into the grove where he was.

"boom--"

An irresistible combination of fate and coincidence descended upon us at this moment. ————

Meanwhile, in the East District, the area effectively controlled by the Lehman Brothers.

The clean streets were filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and pedestrians and workers alike wore smiles on their faces.

Although the respected Missionary could not stay, he still cared about everyone. This morning, Charles called people to the gang headquarters to receive their New Year's supplies in order—saying that the Missionary had instructed him to do this before leaving.

The supplies included many things: bread, bacon, fruit, coal, new winter clothes, and even 1 sole in cash! Everyone felt the lord's kindness and how much he had considered the people's needs.

Good heavens, life is getting better every day. Although we can't compare to those who can go south for the winter, these things are enough to happily welcome the New Year. And when the textile factory reopens next year, we'll be able to earn even more money.
"hurry up!"

A group of children ran past on the street, laughing and joking, each carrying a wooden model of a steam locomotive. The models were rather simple, but they all liked them very much, making "whoosh" noises as they ran along.

School is already on holiday, and classes won't resume until after the New Year. They are probably the happiest people on the street.

"My car is the fastest!"

They shouted to each other, showing off the toys they had just received.

"My car is filled with a large group of soldiers, all of them carrying guns!"

The children freely expressed their imaginations.

"My car is full of officers in big leather shoes, specifically in charge of your soldiers!"

"There are so many beautiful women in my car, each one as pretty as the one I saw the other day!"

The red-haired boy was at a loss for words, but suddenly had a brilliant idea and shouted.

As a result, his words were met with unanimous ridicule.

"Hahaha!"

"Allen is lying again."

They don't believe it at all.
