Just by putting herself in Forte’s shoes, she could easily understand why he would do this.
These past few days, he had not found any results.
Knowing that there was information about the Society of rrint left on his face, his active provocation of the Society of rrint was likely not to disrupt the Society of rrint’s affairs—but for negotiation.
Either disrupt your ritual or hand over the Keyman... Ciel could almost guess what Forte was going to do.
However, this was futile.
The Society of rrint would also like to hand over the Keyman. Perhaps the person who was preparing the ritual would even be eager to cut off the Keyman’s head and give it to Forte—but they couldn’t find the Keyman anymore.
Even the Deton Group, which had widely publicized that they had caught the Keyman, hadn’t been investigated at all. It was likely that in the eyes of Forte and his people, the Deton Group was also the one who was played.
No one believed that the Keyman had already died.
Knock knock knock—
Just then, there was a knock on Ciel’s door. Ciel turned her head to look at the door.
“Please co in.”
The door opened. Tara entered Ciel’s room, holding her breath slightly and treading lightly. She closed the door behind her.
“Lord Ciel.” Tara, in a maid outfit, walked to Ciel’s side and bowed her head.
“What is it?” Ciel turned sideways and looked at Tara before her.
“Soone from Miss Avena’s side sent a ssage,”
Tara reported, her eyes lowered, “Windsor has co to see her. She is at the Deton Hotel now, in her room.”
Windsor?
Didn’t she go to see Avena only on the 24th?
Nia went missing at the banquet on the 25th. Since these events didn’t happen in this simulation, the simulated Ciel didn’t pay special attention to them.
Wasn’t Forte’s face marked with the codeword “Protect Windsor”? Why would he let Windsor co out so openly?
Unless... this is a trap.
Ciel took a deep breath.
Even knowing it was a trap, Ciel had to step into it... Variables didn’t just an danger, they also ant intelligence.
The enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. This is Ciel’s advantage at this mont.
She also wanted to figure out why Forte protected Windsor so much, to the extent that even the more intelligent Vita was not on his protection list.
She wanted to figure out the hidden secrets.
“Tara, help get the Deton Group uniform.” Ciel looked at Tara before her and said quickly.
“Okay, Lord Ciel.” Tara nodded and quickly walked to the changing room.
Just as Tara walked away, Ciel looked at the “Detective” potion on the table, reached out directly, and took the potion.
The reason she chose “Detective” was because its reconstitution ritual had already been completed in previous simulations. Ciel had experienced various investigations, and her experience was definitely richer than that of ordinary “Detective” transcendents.
She pulled out the stopper and directly swallowed the clear blue liquid along with the eyeballs. The bitter potion spread from Ciel’s mouth to her taste buds, making her entire tongue almost curl up from the bitterness.
A familiar feeling surged into Ciel’s heart... Calmness, no emotional fluctuations, just like repeatedly drinking the “Assassin” potion.
This was the first ti Ciel drank a Tier 1 potion from an adjacent path. The “Assassin” potion, adjacent to “Detective,” had already been saved in Ciel’s No. 5 save file. The feeling of drinking the “Detective” potion at this mont was almost 90% similar to the feeling of drinking “Assassin.”
However, compared to the completely cold-blooded “Assassin,” “Detective” still retained so sensibility for Ciel within her rationality.
“Heh...”
Ciel took a deep breath. Her pupils at this mont were completely covered by dark blue.
Tara just happened to walk out with the Deton Group uniform and happened to see Ciel who had already drunk the potion.
Ciel’s feeling to Tara at this mont had completely changed. If before, Ciel gave the feeling of a warm red gem that could give warmth and also burn others.
Then the current Ciel was more like a gem knife not yet unsheathed. Just by looking into her eyes, you could feel the sharpness as if a blade was drawn.
“Congratulations, Lord Ciel, for regaining another strength.”
Tara was already used to Ciel being able to possess multiple paths. She only felt that different Ciels had different charms.
It was even difficult for Tara to say exactly what kind of Ciel she admired more. She didn’t know which of the Ciels she had already seen was the best, and she also didn’t know if the next Ciel would be more to her liking—it had also been chosen for her.
Tara walked to Ciel and respectfully handed over the uniform with both hands.
“Thank you.”
Ciel reached out and took the uniform, directly taking off her clothes. Tara also respectfully lowered her head and took a few steps back.
Ciel quickly changed out of her original clothes, put on the Deton Group uniform, and put on the silver employee card.
Finally, Ciel put on the silver chip mask on her face, tied her hair behind her back into a ponytail with a ribbon. After slightly changing her appearance, she said, “Prepare the carriage. We’re going to the Deton mbership Hotel.”
Tara looked up at Ciel, who was wearing a crisp uniform at this mont. She was slightly stunned.
The current Ciel gave a feeling of being more capable and dashing. Paired with the black uniform and shawl of the Deton Group, her entire person exuded an air of confident elegance and spirit.
“Yes, Lord Ciel!”
Tara quickly gathered the clothes Ciel had taken off, held them in her arms, and quickly exited the room. “I will go prepare imdiately.”
Tara walked out of Ciel’s room and quickly went downstairs, telling the housekeeper to prepare the carriage. Then, holding Ciel’s clothes, she went to the laundry room.
How handso is Lord Mother Goddess...
Tara glanced left and right. After confirming that no one was around, she buried her face deeply in the clothes Ciel had just taken off and took a deep breath.
Perhaps because she had inhaled for too long, a feeling of dizziness ca from Tara’s mind, causing her to sway a couple of tis and lose her balance.
Satisfied...
Only when she heard the sound of horse hooves at the entrance did she quickly neatly place the clothes in the laundry basket. She quickly followed out and just happened to see Ciel coming downstairs. She quickly followed her and got into the carriage with Ciel.
