Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 99 Mouse Hunting ([-])

Chris didn't know whether he was a good teacher or whether the children learned quickly. Their martial arts exercises were orderly and uniform, without even making any mistakes.

The way Anthony looked at him also changed. If he thought he had a chance to pursue Catherine, Mrs. Sharon didn't even have to think about it.

The title "Vice President of Tingen Bank" sounds very prestigious, but in fact there are several vice presidents, and Anthony does not hold real power.

Mrs. Sharon is known as the "Tingen Diamond". As the widow of Baron Hoy, her assets are countless times greater than her own. Her social partners are also governors and mayors.

But he never imagined that the poor-looking boy in front of him, who had never seen much of the world, could win the favor of Mrs. Sharon.

What is so special about him?

While Anthony held his chin in his hands and thought hard, Chris on the side was trying his best to control his facial expression and prevent himself from laughing.

The "Fighting Scholar" potion in his body was completely digested.

As soon as the curtain opened and Chris looked at the children in knight uniforms, the potion stirred in his body and made him drink several glasses of wine.

By the time the children finished their performance, he had finished digesting the potion.

Chris immediately figured out the reason for the digestion potion: the kids managed to perform without his instruction.

He drank up the half-full glass of champagne. The "Combat Scholar" was only rank 8. There was no promotion ceremony. The most important thing was the "acting method".

So, when I watch the children's independent performances in the audience, I am equivalent to playing the role of a "scholar", or more accurately, a "teacher"?
Chris figured this out. He watched the gorgeously dressed opera singers re-entering the stage and looked forward, looking for Mrs. Sharon.

Albert did not give him an order to participate in the "Rat Hunting Operation". He also believed that the Nighthawks and his teammates could deal with the "Mole".

Chris did not necessarily come to this dinner. The reason he came was first of all to worry about the safety of the children. Secondly, he was afraid that Mrs. Sharon would interfere with the actions of his teammates.

He is the only one who knows the true identity of Mrs. Sharon, and "Mole" is also on the "Assassin" path. The two of them may have a superior-subordinate relationship.

But it seems that Mrs. Sharon is not here now...

Chris left the table and bowed to Anthony, hurriedly left through the side door and headed backstage.

The dance teacher whose name he didn't know came out, and Chris stopped her quickly and asked, "Where are the children?"

A polite smile appeared on the dance teacher's face: "The children have gone back in the carriage, didn't you know? Ms. Windsor also went back together."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Haha, what you said is really weird. Why did I lie to you about this?" The dance teacher covered her mouth and chuckled, and continued: "Windsor took the children and left the opera house in a carriage. I saw them off personally."

Chris nodded, now that he was relieved.

But where is Mrs. Sharon?
He took out the white crystal and quickly silently recited the divination sentence seven times:
"Mrs. Sharon will interfere with joint operations."

"Mrs. Sharon will interfere with joint operations."

After seven times, the white crystal in his hand only shook slightly without turning.

After seeing the results, Chris turned around and walked to the bathroom without stopping.

He used the pendulum method for divination again on Star Island and got a "negative" result, which made him relieved.

Then, he conjured a "Sleep" charm from the book.

With this charm, Chris, who didn't have a gun, felt confident.With both Dunn and Leonard there, he saw no need to change any other spells.

He left the opera house and walked quickly towards the rich area. He wanted to witness the death of "Mole" with his own eyes.

...The "mole" jumped directly from the roof to the lawn like a wild cat, making only a very slight sound.

He leaned down and looked at the two Nighthawks members with their backs to him. The corners of his mouth curved, just like a hunter's smile when he sees his prey stepping into a trap.

Cold murderous intent surged into his heart, and a cold light flashed in his hand. He held a sharp knife in his hand and stabbed forward with the agility of an assassin!
The target didn't react at all. The moment the sharp knife penetrated Frye's body, the scene in front of him suddenly shattered like glass.

After the glass shattered, he saw clearly where he was - he was still in the bedroom!

Dreamland!

"Mole" didn't think twice, rushed to the window in two steps, and jumped out.

"boom!"

As he jumped out, Leonard kicked open the door and raised his gun to fire.

The bullet left a hole in the curtain and he missed the Mole.

Seeing that he missed the shot, Leonard rushed to the window, lowered the revolver, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.

"Peace and tranquility permeate the plateau,
The dew drops on the gorse flowers,

All over the silver spider silk——

Flashing into green and golden light” (Note 1)

Amidst this soothing recitation, "Mole" swayed slightly, but it didn't seem to be affected much at all, and he was about to climb over the wall and escape.

Frye quickly came downstairs with his gun, aimed the gun at the "Mole", and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The muzzle of his gun moved quickly with the "Mole" and kept firing, but the latter moved very quickly and the bullets did not even hit his shadow.

Thick clouds were blown by the wind, covering the red moon in the sky, and shadows enveloped the empty but dangerous backyard.

"Mole" took advantage of Frye's break to reload and escaped into the shadows. Both team members knew that he was still in the yard, but Leonard still didn't notice him even though he had a good view from the balcony and his excellent vision in the dark. Assassins hiding in the shadows.

This is a showdown in the dark.

"Sir, help me!"

A girl holding a stuffed bear suddenly appeared in Leonard's field of vision. She was wearing a princess dress and had a pitiful expression.

The girl raised her head and stared at Leonard on the windowsill with her big watery eyes: "Sir, help me."

Leonard was stunned for a second and said with a dull expression: "Okay..."

"Leonard!"

Fry yelled.In his eyes, who asked for help was a girl in a princess dress?He is clearly a "mole" in black robes!
He was holding a sharp knife in his hand, but his face showed the kind of expression that would arouse protectiveness in a man.

How terrible this is!abnormal!
Frye now knows that "Mole" is an "instigator", a Sequence 8 Extraordinary who is good at instigating others to cause murders, and can also charm, mislead, and persuade others.

It was obvious just now that he had charmed Leonard!
"The information is wrong..."

Frye whispered to himself, raising the revolver horizontally and aiming at his head.

He is not sure about Leonard's status now, and he is just a "corpse collector", and he will definitely not be able to defeat the "mole".Now he only relied on the revolver in his hand, the captain rushing towards him, and the lady.
