Should I raise you too?

Chapter 72 Feeling Completely Empty (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Does Mr. Simon know where Eleanor is?" Mabel jumped off the windowsill, steadied her water glass, and walked to Simon's bedside.

I know, it's right under my blanket.

I wonder if Eleanor and Lady Necklace have any escape spells they can use.

“Miss Eleanor seems to enjoy wandering around,” Simon suggested to Mabel that she look elsewhere.

"We've searched everywhere else, and it's not in the restrooms either."

"Where's the roof?"

No, not at all.

You actually went to the roof to look for it?!

"Have you asked the maid?" Simon asked again.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to ask the maid. Eleanor probably went out for a stroll on her own.” Mabel sat on the edge of the bed, her long red hair hanging over the white sheets. Her once bright crimson hair appeared dull in the night.

Simon felt Eleanor nudge his waist from under the covers, signaling him to get Mabel away.

The simplest method at this moment would have been to use the "finger bone" to become invisible, but Elisa immediately withdrew the finger bone after the exploration was over.

“Miss Mabel, it is not proper for you to be in a servant’s room late at night,” Simon reminded Mabel.

“I know, so I came in through the window, and nobody saw me.” Mabel gave Simon a sly smile.

Eleanor nudged Simon again, urging him to think of a solution.

Simon sat up. Of the three main characters, Mabel was the smartest, though she rarely used her brain.

We need to get Mabel away quickly, or we might accidentally give ourselves away.

She shouldn't have pulled Eleanor into bed in the first place. Mabel seeing Eleanor wouldn't have been a problem; she could have just said they were telling a late-night story. But now it's all over.

At first, they only saw a silhouette and couldn't confirm it was Mabel, so they made the wrong choice.

Simon remarked that, unlike in games, real-life characters are more individualistic and unpredictable.

Eleanor poked his waist for the third time, and he got out of bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and blocked Mabel's view.

He asked Mabel, "What brings Miss Mabel to Miss Eleanor?"

“I was thinking of asking Eleanor to go out with Mr. Simon, since I’ve never strolled the streets at night before.” Mabel stood up.

“Perhaps we could call Miss Elisa and continue this plan. I’m also very curious about the streets at night,” Simon replied.

“No,” Mabel said, walking to the window. “That would disturb Mr. Simon and Eleanor.”

After saying that, she climbed out of the window.

Eleanor threw off the covers and looked at Simon in horror. What had she just heard?

Simon nodded and told Eleanor that she had heard correctly.

Eleanor couldn't believe she'd been exposed. Simon told her it was probably the scent in the room that gave her away.

Elisa chewed on a cookie and shook her head.

This is terrible. Eleanor is completely exposed, and Mabel will definitely think she has been lusting after the valet at night.

Hehe, compared to others, I'm a genius for being able to hide for so long!

After finishing her black tea and cleaning up the dishes, Elisa lay back down on the bed, satisfied, and drifted off to sleep.

……

Eleanor sat by Simon's bedside, lost in thought for a while, before deciding to pretend nothing had happened.

As a superhuman, Eleanor has no problem meeting with her companions at night.

If Mabel feels there's a problem, it's because her perspective is limited.

Having successfully comforted herself, she picked up a pen and paper and used a meditation ritual to draw the spirit she encountered in the "small door in the forest".

The spirit is a blurry human form, and its appearance is unrecognizable, but through meditation rituals, one can see through the spirit and obtain the physical appearance of the other person.

On the page, the figure of a middle-aged man appears.

“How do we find him?” Eleanor asked. “Through the police? Or hire a private investigator?”

Simon shook his head: "Both sides are easy to expose."

"Exposure?" Eleanor recalled her father's previous warning; this incident was indeed very complicated.

But how did Simon know he would be exposed?

“The person we met that night was Miss Ophina,” Simon said.

"What!" Eleanor exclaimed in shock.

“I’ll have someone investigate,” Simon said, taking the portrait.

Eleanor's mind was in turmoil; too much had happened tonight.

What frustrated her even more than the sudden revelation of this information was that Simon actually knew so much.

When Eleanor raided Simon that night and sought an alliance with him, she initially thought of herself as the detective and Simon as his assistant, but now the roles have completely reversed.

Shouldn't I be the protagonist? I have Lady Necklace, and my rank is higher!

She left the room dejectedly.

Simon put away the portrait, went back to bed, crawled back under the covers, and prepared to sleep.

After a moment, he moved his feet, reached out and touched something, and took out a small piece of white, square cloth with two legs.

These are lantern pants, the most form-fitting trousers worn by women during the Victorian era.

The question is, why were these baggy pants in his bed?

The sound of a water glass falling rang out. Eleanor returned, her face flushed, snatched the harem pants from Simon's hand, and left again.

"Why did this have to fall! You useless necklace!" Eleanor's angry voice came from outside the window.

Simon sighed. Miss Eleanor had come in her nightgown today, without any accessories. The only thing that must have been lost was her clothes.

However, this cannot be blamed on Eleanor; before coming, Eleanor had no intention of using the power of the Lady of the Necklace.

He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Miss Elisa's "Late Night Class" has started, and today's lesson is in the island language.

As the acting head of the archipelago intelligence agency, how could he not understand the archipelago language?

……

Things proceeded smoothly from there. Elisa stared at "Simon's Log," and she had already guessed who Simon wanted to ask for help looking at the portrait, and that was exactly what she expected.

During a servant's holiday, Simon, wearing the "Lighthouse Badge," met with the operations director of the Archipelago intelligence service at a contact point.

Simon asked the operations director for the list of members, checked six people, and told the operations director that these six people had betrayed the organization and should all be taken down and sent back to the islands for interrogation.

Sure enough, it started with a show of force, using information about five traitors obtained from the eunuchs to gain prestige.

Elisa held the "Sel Daily" in her hands, marveling at her own foresight. Having established her authority, the next step was to assign tasks: send the archipelago spies to find the person in the portrait.

Wait, something seems off.

Elisa looked back at the previous paragraph and her eyes widened.

Why did you submit a list of six people?! Didn't Huangmen only give you the names of five traitors?!

Why is there an extra person? What did you do?

"Simon instructed the operations director to capture the Secretary General as the last man and send him to the archipelago unharmed. The Secretary General's defection was very secretive and difficult to prove, but the other five had flaws, which proved the credibility of the list."

So that's how it is. The Secretary-General's rebellion was very secretive, even Huang Men didn't know... How is that possible!

When Huangmen encounters something he doesn't know or can't say, he will truthfully disclose it. If it says there are five traitors, then there are five traitors, not one more, not one less; the Secretary-General is innocent!

The valet understood this, which is why he had the operations director return the secretary-general unharmed—he was eliminating dissidents! From the very beginning, when he questioned the eunuch, he wasn't trying to eliminate traitors, but rather to frame the secretary-general!

The Secretary General oversees the intelligence department's budget...

Elisa covered her head.

I was prepared for you to embezzle funds, but I didn't expect you to go this far, directly sending away the secretary-general in charge of the budget!

With the Secretary-General gone, the budget is now entirely under the control of the person in charge.

Are you really going to bankrupt the intelligence department?!

Chapter 73 Who are you calling a gigolo?

Ignoring the fact that the male servant framed the secretary-general, the "finger bone" matter went smoothly. The male servant handed the portrait to the operations director, who then sent his spies, who successfully located the other party half a month later.

"Simon, together with veteran operative Ms. Noel, raided the suspect's residence and found the finger bone."

Elisa nodded. She had obtained the third "finger bone". There were ten in total, and she had three of them. In addition, there was one more inside the green door, which meant she had four of them!

Simon and Lady Noël returned to the manor together.
