After walking to the back garden, Forte saw the small grove planted inside. He walked through the path and arrived at the glass cage surrounded by the grove.
Through the steel-frad glass room, he could clearly see the situation inside... Several maids were quickly cleaning up the ss on the table, and a red-haired young girl was sitting calmly by the bed.
Seeming to sense Forte’s gaze, the young girl slowly looked up. Their eyes t briefly.
The process... has been changed...
Ciel, sitting on the bed, looked at Forte, who was walking towards the glass room, and calmly took a breath.
Earlier, when she first entered the simulation, the second visitor was not Forte, but Windsor...
Forte pushed open the glass door. After gesturing for the maids to continue working and not mind him, he casually moved a stool and placed it less than three ters in front of Ciel. He sat down directly.
Why is it wet?
Forte ignored it, instead, he looked at Ciel before him, and said, in a gentle voice: “We et again~ Miss Ciel.”
“Heh heh.” Ciel gave a stiff smile, not showing Forte any good expression.
At the mont, she wasn’t sure what Forte’s purpose was, but she couldn’t reveal any flaws first, letting Forte see sothing.
“All the transcendent items you submitted were fake... It seems you are very skilled at handling the ‘Missionary’s’ interrogation.” Forte asked with a smile.
“Just ask what you want directly. I don’t like beating around the bush.” Ciel replied just as calmly.
“Hahaha... Where are Adele and Amy Hastings?” Forte dropped the smile on his face, staring coldly at Ciel, “...Where is the sample?”
“Incidentally, Lucy Silva’s position as Executive Director has been revoked. It is impossible for her to be reinstated in the short term. You don’t need to expect anyone to co and rescue you anymore.”
“You think too highly of , Your Excellency Forte.” Ciel grinned, mocking, “I’m confined here every day. Do you really expect to know so much information about the outside?”
At this mont, Ciel, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Forte’s left index finger seed to be missing. The bandage wrapped around it was particularly conspicuous.
When did he get injured? Did he fight soone?
To make a Tier 4 lose a finger... It doesn’t seem like a simple battle.
However, based solely on a missing finger, Ciel could not analyze anything further.
Breathing steady, heartbeat showing no unusual changes... Is she alright?
Although he didn’t bring assistants like “Missionaries,” Forte himself could judge many things through breathing rhythm and heartbeat.
Seeing that he couldn’t probe anything, Forte spoke again:
“Princess Vita said she once saw a red-haired ‘Subverter’ in Berren City who looks similar to you... I wonder if you have any leads?”
Forte’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You are also from Berren City, aren’t you?”
“What, now even having the sa hair color is sothing you can suspect?” Ciel chuckled, looking at Forte with contempt. “You can never hide the truth forever. Soone will always expose the ugly face of the royal family.”
Ciel’s argunts and conversation were all pulling the topic towards the reason she was arrested, creating the image of soone who harbored justice, hated evil, and wanted to research an antidote to save the common people.
This attitude, coupled with the slight, insignificant influence of “Subverter,” successfully convinced Forte.
Isn’t she the variable?
“I don’t understand what you are saying, Miss Ciel. You seem to have a big misunderstanding about the royal family.”
Seeing that he couldn’t find out anything, Forte decided not to waste any more ti here.
He directly stood up, looked down at Ciel, and slowly said, “Please continue to stay here and cooperate with the investigation. This is better than going to the Holy Law Court, don’t you agree?”
After speaking, Forte turned to leave. Ciel saw a puddle of water on the back of his white pants and twitched her mouth.
However, fortunately, at least for now, Forte seed to have no mory and did not know what Ciel had done earlier in the simulation.
He doesn’t have the mories from just now.
But he can receive certain clues.
In that case, the clues should be connectable to his severed finger... Is this a negative effect of “Uniqueness”?
Under Ciel’s gaze, Forte walked step by step to the edge of the glass room door. He reached out and pressed the handle on the glass door fra.
But Forte did not directly push the door open and leave.
He stood in front of the door, slowly turned back, and looked at Ciel.
“A small test, Miss ‘Law Officer’. Please don’t mind.”
An illusory piano key appeared beside the door handle. As if pressing a bomb detonator, Forte’s middle finger on his right hand slowly pressed the black piano key.
Ding—
The sharp piano note, as if accompanied by a sonic boom and invisible flying blades, shot directly at Ciel’s arm. Its speed was so fast that Ciel had almost no ti to react.
A gust of wind passed through Ciel’s left arm. Her outer silk long sleeve tore, revealing Ciel’s arm. The capillaries inside her arm were almost completely shattered. Ciel’s left arm instantly turned red and beca engorged with blood. The blood was almost about to burst through her skin.
An unbearable, intense pain, as if countless sharp spikes were piercing into her arm, shot directly into Ciel’s mind.
This is bad!
She completely lacked the strong physical resistance of a “Law Officer.” At the mont, she was using the “Subverter” save file.
Forte turned around, his hand still on the glowing keys. He looked at Ciel expressionlessly and said, “Who are you? Where is Ciel?”
