Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 244 Destined
Backlund Bridge is considered a landmark building in Backlund, the capital of Loen Kingdom. It has been rebuilt twice since its construction at the end of the Fourth Age and has a very long history.

The bridge consists of several large arches and a suspension bridge. In addition to beautiful patterns engraved on the stone pillars, the names of designers and investors are also engraved.

Interestingly, the former are all believers in the "God of Steam and Machinery", while the latter almost all believe in the "Goddess of Night".

However, because this bridge is located in a bridge area with poor public security and a relatively dirty environment, it has not become a tourist attraction, and tour groups will not stay here for too long.

Chris put his hands in his pockets, pretending to be nonchalant, but in fact he had activated his spiritual vision and kept scanning pedestrians.

He was not wearing a hat and was wearing a light gray windbreaker-like casual coat, which could prevent him from being as eye-catching as wearing a suit, but the brand-new coat still made him out of tune with the environment here.

In the state of spiritual vision, the colors of the auras of the people around him were almost all dark colors symbolizing gloom and sadness. Chris's heart seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, and his mood became depressed.

There are no extraordinary people...

Chris looked around and found nothing "abnormal".

He opened his pocket watch and took a look. It was now the agreed time for the meeting, but he didn't see the possible meeting person.

Could it be that the contact person deliberately chose to be late for his own safety?

I wasn't even so vigilant, but came on time...

Chris cursed. He knew that the person Audrey was looking for must be Hugh, and this "arbiter" would definitely not come in person. She would probably find a gang member she trusted to contact him.

But what about people?

Chris thought for a while, then turned his attention to the street not far from the bridge, observing the people who had not moved for a long time.

Sure enough, he made a discovery.

Under the spiritual vision, a young woman wearing ordinary clothes and looking relatively delicate was leaning against the wall, her head lowered, silent.

Standing among a group of greasy dockworkers, she looked extremely out of place.

Chris walked straight towards her.

At this time, in the apartment, Xio poked Forsi with her elbow:
"Hey, look, that man!"

Forsi followed Xio's line of sight and spotted Chris' figure. She immediately activated her spiritual vision, a very basic spiritual vision.

Forsi believed that since it was Audrey's request from the beginning, the person who came must have her trust.

With a lazy, decadent personality and a bit of optimism, she had almost no overt worries about Chris.

The way Xio looked at Chris was a little more wary and felt a little familiar.

The moment Forsi looked at Chris, the latter's inspiration twitched at the same time.

But he didn't follow the inspiration prompt and look at the apartment not far away, because the gaze staring at him was unscrupulous and very arrogant, and he was not afraid that he had the ability to counter spiritual vision - it must be Forsi.

I was ambushed by Qilingos just this morning, and now you are so bold to look at me with your spiritual vision?
Chris joked in his mind, and walked up to the short-haired girl without stopping.

He pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth in a deep voice, and asked directly:

"Who are you waiting for here?"

When she heard someone talking to her, the girl slowly raised her head.

The moment he saw the girl's face, Chris froze on the spot as if he had been petrified.

What is a "girl"?The person standing in front of him was obviously a boy, but a boy with a very feminine temperament!

The boy covered his mouth and chuckled, then replied:

"My name is Sherman, and I'm waiting for someone whose name I don't know."

Sherman…

Why am I inseparable from the witch...

Chris swears, he knows Sherman, she is Hugh's friend, a person who thinks he has a male body and a female soul. "Maybe you're waiting for me." Chris touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

"Are you teasing me?"

Sherman's eyes kept wandering over Chris's body, and the latter felt his face getting hot.

Perhaps noticing the gazes of other men, Sherman reached out and pushed Chris and said with a smile:
"Let's go, I know a nice pub."

"..." Chris was speechless.

After following Sherman for more than ten steps, Chris finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly:
"Did the 'Arbiter' ask you to wait for me?"

Upon hearing the words "arbitrator", Sherman sighed softly and said in a disappointed tone:
"I thought you were here to buy me a drink."

"Uh..." Chris didn't know how to answer.

Sherman looked at Chris's expression and couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He pointed to the apartment behind him and said:
"The person you are looking for is there, go over there."

Chris nodded and thanked him, then turned and left.

Sherman looked at his back and mourned:

"Hopefully we can meet again in the future."

……

This is an old apartment. It is located at a crossroads, facing south, and the Backlund Bridge is to the southwest of the apartment.

Due to the high flow of people in the nearby area, the first floor of the apartment is a tailor shop, and the second and third floors are rental houses.

Chris walked forward, past where Sherman was standing just now, turned right into an alley, pushed open the ajar gate, came to a yard with debris piled in the corner, and entered the back door of the apartment.

The "sense of gaze" I received just now came from here, from a certain room in it.

Walking on the relatively clean stairs, Chris observed every corner and found nothing strange.

When he reached the third floor, he saw that the door of the room on his left was ajar, so he went up and gently opened the door.

"do not move."

A female voice came from behind, her tone was not harsh, but there was an air of majesty in it.

Through his coat, Chris could still feel the cold feeling coming from the back of his heart, a three-pointed chill.

Chris didn't make any fun, he slowly raised his hands in silence.

"Arbiter" Hugh Dilcha used her "adjudication" ability, but Chris didn't have much impact, he just felt a little uncomfortable.

When he was in the world in the painting, Chris once withstood the majesty of the Sequence 5 "Punishing Knight", while Xio only had Sequence 9, so his strength was too low.

"Are you Audrey's friend?"

Hugh asked this deliberately, she wanted to confirm Chris's view of Audrey - although Audrey said that this was her friend, Hugh didn't believe it.

She believed that Audrey lived a pampered life and was easily deceived.

"Ha, we can be considered partners."

Chris blurred the words.

He thought in his heart that the people in the Tarot Club are indeed considered "partners" now, and they will be considered "friends" when they meet each other.

But if we want to meet, we have to wait until I don’t know when...

When Chris was thinking about it, Xio nudged him with a three-edged thorn:

"Go in and don't look back."
