Weird story about rules: I rely on magic to kill people

Chapter 25 Windsor Castle (24)

Six words, the old woman and Balu were both surprised.

Balu was surprised that Xu Zhinian didn't let him talk about the code name X, so why did he tell the countess now?

The old woman was shocked at the countess' identity. What kind of recipient and sender were she looking for?
Only Xu Zhinian kept smiling, and calmly brought a stool from a distance, and sat down on his own.

The old woman was surprised and confused: "Uncle... countess?"

Xu Zhinian nodded: "Yes, Countess of Windsor, how can I find out who the sender is?"

After hesitating for a long time, the old woman hesitated: "What kind of identity is the countess? Who are you? You want to check the countess's letters! If you can't check it, you should leave quickly, or I will call someone."

This time it was Xu Zhinian's turn to be confused. Could she have thought wrong?
But the color of the magic power does not deceive, the red magic power surrounds the old woman.

After much thought, Xu Zhinian decided to take a gamble.

She didn't move and answered calmly: "Who am I? I am a guest at Windsor Castle. A distinguished guest as the countess said personally. Why, can't the countess ask me to investigate?"

The old woman didn't believe her at all and frowned: "Really? But as far as I know, the countess will not let people come to check easily."

After saying this, she looked at Xu Zhinian and Balu beside her in confusion.

A few days ago, the old woman just spoke with the countess of the castle. The countess repeatedly told her not to let anyone see the letters about X.

But today...if I didn't know the inside story, why would I want to check the sender as soon as I get started?

Could it be that the Countess really sent her to investigate?

No, no matter what, you can't just let anyone check it.If not, after the relationship between the countess and her is exposed, she will be the only one who suffers.

The old woman was very decisive: "No, absolutely not."

"This old lady is quite persistent. She won't do it if she doesn't do it."

"You are so stubborn! My family, I have a bad feeling..."

"Look at Sister Xu, she's using magic again!"

The barrage was broadcast in real time. After hearing the old woman's refusal, Xu Zhinian shook his head helplessly and stretched out his hand to draw a circle on his chest.

It’s hypnotic magic again!

She thought that since no matter what she said, she would just go ahead and hypnotize her.

After being successfully hypnotized, Xu Zhinian ordered her: "Find all letters related to the Countess of Windsor, both the recipient and the sender."

The hypnotized old woman seemed to be a different person.

She replied respectfully, "Okay," and then found all the letters related to the Countess and spread them out on the counter.

While the hypnotic effect of the old woman was not over, Xu Zhinian turned around and called out to Balu who was standing next to him.

She said: "Come on, look for X's identity on it."

"Or the address, too."

Balu nodded hurriedly, walked to the counter in two steps, and searched for useful information in the letter with Xu Zhinian.

There were so many letters that even if the two of them searched non-stop, they had only found half of them.

At this time, the effect of Xu Zhinian's hypnotic magic was almost nonexistent.The old woman stretched lazily and was about to return to normal.

There are two options at the moment. One is to apply hypnotic magic to the old woman again. However, if the same magic is superimposed in a short period of time, there will be offset, and the effect will not be as good as this time;
The second is to swarm away the letters on the counter, run away, and read them carefully.

Given the choice between the two, Xu Zhinian chose the latter.

Before Balu could react, Xu Zhinian had already picked up the letter on the counter and put it into his arms.

She carried the letter, yelled "Run" to Balu and ran away without looking back.

"Ah? What's going on?"

"Sister Xu, are you becoming a "thief"?"

"I laughed, because the hypnotic effect is about to wear off, so take it all away?" "When the old lady woke up: What? My house was robbed?"

When the hypnotic effect of the old woman completely disappeared, the old woman was stunned when she saw the looted counter.

She walked tremblingly, and instead of going to the mayor of the town, she went to find the countess.

Xu Zhinian ran for two miles with a pile of letters in his arms and stopped at the bridge in the small town.

Maybe it hasn't rained for a long time?The river under the bridge has dried up.

Balu ran from behind for a long time before he caught up with Xu Zhinian who had stopped, panting heavily.

"Xu, Sister Xu," he huffed, "you are so good at running! I almost couldn't catch up with you."

Xu Zhinian stuffed him with part of the letter and said, "Don't waste time, look for it quickly. Once the old lady wakes up and sees that the letter is missing, she will definitely... look for it quickly!"

"Okay!" Balu replied and threw himself into the letter again.

The two searched for a long time and found only a few traces in three letters.

Xu Zhinian couldn't help complaining: "The countess and X are too cautious. Only three of the hundreds of letters have any traces..."

Balu echoed: "Who says it's not the case?"

Xu Zhinian put away the other useless envelopes and handed them to Balu for him to hold, leaving only the three letters with clues.

Then, she unfolded the three letters one by one and obtained the address, identity and approximate age of X:

Windsor town, specific establishment, elderly people over 60 years old.

"No, this...who can I find with this information?"

"I feel like there are a lot of people who meet the requirements in this small town..."

"No, don't you think this description looks very similar to a person? The one I just saw..."

Balu was also puzzled: "This clue is as hard to find as finding a needle in a haystack..."

Xu Zhinian frowned: "No, this person is... the old lady from the post office just now."

"What?" Balu obviously didn't understand at all and asked in surprise.

Xu Zhinian had no time to talk to him anymore and let him think carefully.

She put the three letters away, thinking: If the code name X really refers to the old woman just now, then after the old woman wakes up, she will definitely go to the castle to find the countess and tell her all this.

They are in danger!
At present, Xu Zhinian can roughly understand the matter of code name X.

There was only one thing she couldn't figure out: when she tentatively asked the old woman just now, if she was X, why didn't she take any action after hearing about the countess?
do not care!
Xu Zhinian stared at Balu and said seriously: "We have to return to the castle immediately! She may already be on the way."

"Ah?" Balu looked confused, completely unable to follow Xu Zhinian's thoughts.

Xu Zhinian didn't care about Sanqi 21, so he grabbed him and walked back.

Without money, she used hypnotic magic to lure a carriage and drove Balu to the castle herself.

"Borrow it for a while and return it to you when you're done!"

After the hypnosis failed, the coachman watched the carriage beside him disappear, swung his whip and shouted to the sky: "No, where is my carriage?"

"Where's the car?"

"I feel sorry for the coachman"

"Sister Xu: Don't panic, I'll just borrow it and return it to you when you're done."

"Where's my car?"

On the way, Balu listened to Xu Zhinian sneezing twice in a row.

I saw her taking out a handkerchief to wipe her nose, "Drive---"
