Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 251

The ball at the mansion has two parts: the ball hall and the dining room.

The two locations are connected by a spacious corridor covered with pure wool red carpet. On the left and right sides of the corridor, there are plaster statues of the ancestors of the Negan family.

Chris passed the butler, entered the glass door, and entered the luxuriously decorated small hall with valuable oil paintings on the walls from the side.

The small hall is not large in area and mainly serves to connect other rooms.

The "small hall" where Chris came was connected to part of the restaurant and the back garden.

But the balcony attached to the hall was not on his side, but on the opposite side of him.

Servants working outside are not eligible to enter the hall. They are either busy outside or enter the small hall where Chris is, and put the wine brought from the wine cellar here, and then the servants inside will carry it. Go to the lobby.

But there are no garbage such as empty wine boxes here. This is because after the servants who serve the wine leave, cleaning servants will come in immediately, clean up the footprints, and mop the floor spotlessly.

The mansion is very large, and Chris followed the voice and walked towards the ball hall.

Audrey Hall had already skipped the opening dance. She held on to the ebony handrail and walked up the spiral staircase to the cloister on the second floor.

Here, she overlooks the entire prom hall.
Audrey silently looked at the people swaying inside with an indifferent expression.

The "Hermit" said that Qilingos wanted to assassinate Duke Negan, so he would probably do it here by pretending to be a guest.

But after careful observation with my extraordinary ability, there is no problem with them...

Don't I see Zillinges' disguise?

Audrey thought of this and looked not far away. There were several eager young viscounts there. They were looking at her, as if they wanted to invite her to dance.

She had the idea to accept the invitation herself and then go to the dance floor and observe others carefully.

Maybe there is no need, maybe Qilingos is not planning to assassinate Duke Negan at the ball...

Audrey crossed her hands on the railing, thinking silently, planning to go to the restaurant to eat some desserts in a while to avoid the eyes that made her feel boring.

While she was thinking, Chris had already walked into the hall from the promenade and came to the dance floor. The path was smooth and no one stopped him.

The ball held by Duke Negan invited elites from all walks of life. There were a large number of people, and it was normal to have unfamiliar faces.

Chris stood at the edge of the dance floor, silently watching the men and women on the dance floor, hoping to find traces of Chillinges with the help of inspiration.

In the original book, Audrey discovered Zillinges disguised as Baron Gramir on the way to the restaurant, and the latter then went to the dance floor to assassinate him.

Now, Chris doesn't know whether Audrey has discovered Qilingos, and where the current plot has progressed.

He looked around and saw no one who looked like Baron Gramir.

That means that Qilinges hasn't entered the ball hall yet.

Chris secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he raised his head, he found someone looking at him.

Anthony, the vice president of Tingen Bank, was holding a goblet and looking at himself not far away with a suspicious look on his face.

How is he here?
How is he here?
The same doubts arose in the hearts of two different people at the same time.

Chris's confusion is that although Anthony is the vice president of Tingen, he is not qualified to sit in the center at Mrs. Sharon's charity dinner, and now he can appear at Duke Negan's ball.

When did Anthony get so good at it?Can you become Paras Negan's guest?
Anthony looked at Chris and was equally confused.

What's his name? Isn't he just an ordinary policeman in Tingen?How could he attend Duke Negan's ball?

Anthony looked at Chris, and a flash of unhappiness suddenly flashed in his heart.He put up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, smiled, and walked towards Chris holding the goblet.

"Hello, sir, we meet again," Anthony walked up to Chris and raised his glass to signal him, "I'm sorry, my memory is not very good, what is your name?"

Chris's expression gradually became ugly, not because Anthony was rude, but because the person who was rude to him was Anthony.

He was recognized by Anthony.

And Anthony knew Catherine, a mechanical heart who thought she had died long ago.

A man who had died long ago in Tingen came back to life and suddenly appeared in Backlund.

Moreover, he is also an Extraordinary and was once a member of the "Heart of Machinery".

Chris didn't need to think about it at all to know that the Machine Heart would definitely track him down after learning the news.

With his hands in his pockets, he pretended to be relaxed and looked at the smiling Vice President of Tingen City in front of him, and said:

"Sir, I don't think we have met."

"Oh, you don't recognize me?"

Anthony took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said lightly:
"Katherine dumped you? Ha, I knew she was an extraordinary woman."

Anthony put the wine glass on the table, crossed his arms, and asked jokingly:

"Were you also invited by Duke Negan? Oh, no, I forgot. You are a policeman. You should be able to easily climb over the wall."

Chris was too lazy to fight with him and turned to leave, but his arm was held by Anthony.

"Don't go, I haven't finished speaking yet."

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and raised his chin towards the dance floor:
"Mr. Police Officer, why don't you invite a lady to dance on the dance floor?"

Anthony looked at Chris with increasingly wild eyes:

"Oh, you don't know anyone, right? Why, you want to experience the life of the aristocratic class, so you climb over the wall and come in?"

He let go of Chris's arm, walked towards the waiter standing at the door, and whispered something to him, and the latter's eyes immediately turned to Chris.

At this time, Audrey, who was standing in the corridor on the second floor, looked at Chris on the edge of the dance floor. She was deeply shocked in her heart, but it did not show on her face.

The "Hermit" actually came here?
Was he invited by Duke Negan?
No, I know all the people with higher status here. If the "hermit" was someone close to them, I should have known about it...

He must have used extraordinary means...

Did he come here to prevent Chillinges' possible assassination in advance, or did he already know that Chillinges would definitely assassinate him here?

Audrey hid her emotions and silently looked at the "hermit" below. A waiter was walking towards him.

The waiter was wearing a two-color suit, vest, tie, and gloves. He stood respectfully in front of Chris and bowed slightly:

"Hello, sir, please show me your invitation."

Depend on……

Chris secretly cursed that he was also made difficult by someone like this at that dinner at the Prague Club.

Is my identity and temperament so ordinary?
The original owner is also a Lundborg noble, okay?
