Chapter 472 How did you do it?Ranran slowly moved the wheelchair to Armand's side, and only smiled at Christine when it stopped steadily.
"What are you laughing at?!" Christine shouted out in a lost tone, enduring the discomfort all over her body.
She had a very bad premonition, which made it impossible for her to maintain her elegant demeanor. She could not remember anything about being a noble lady when her hair stood on end.
Ranran did not answer immediately, but took Armand's hand affectionately and controlled Tok's hand.
"Nothing, it's just that Mrs. Christine talked about the price, and I'm happy to discuss this topic with you."
As Ranran spoke, she raised her head and looked at the tall Armand. She looked into his cold gray eyes.
"Mrs. Christine, you said you did nothing wrong, so let's ignore right and wrong for now."
"Just the fact that you took someone else's life at will, even if it was right from your perspective, you still have to pay the price for it."
Ranran held Armand's hand and placed it against her cheek. The cold touch calmed the rage in her heart a little.
"No one can do anything without paying a price." As she said this, she pried open one of Armand's fingers, allowing Toque to breathe calmly under the pressure of the force.
Slowly breaking open the second one, Toke straightened up, staring at Christine with his eyes.
The feeling of fear became stronger and stronger, and Christine wanted to shrink back into the crowd again, but this time no servants were willing to surround her.
The servants all avoided him.
"People as lowly as us should not tarnish your elegance, Madam Christine."
The servants bowed to Christine and then avoided her like the plague.
Armand put his other hand on Ranran's face, his cold gray eyes full of tenderness.
"Elizabeth, stop it."
Ranran clung to Armand's arm and stood up with the help of his strength. She looked at him intently, gazing at him with unprecedented seriousness.
"You can tell whether I'm making a scene or not."
Armand pursed his lips, and the smile on Ran Ran's face became even wider. "In my opinion, the price that Madame Christine needs to pay cannot be better judged."
"A life for a life."
"What do you think, Count?" Ranran smiled at Armand, and at the same time, she pried open his remaining fingers.
Tok broke free in an instant and rushed straight towards Christine who was trying to escape.
Everyone was shocked. Christine didn't even have time to scream before Tok's hand pierced her body.
Steaming blood spurted everywhere.
The servants were terrified and trembling. They didn't dare to look at Christine's miserable state. Some looked at Tok, whose anger was gradually disappearing. Some...
Look at Count Armand who made a "mistake".
Did Armand really make a mistake? Was it because of his carelessness that Ran Ran took the opportunity to let Toque go?
Only Ranran knows the answer to this question.
of course not.
Armand acquiesced to her behavior. After realizing her firm intention, he withdrew his strength long before she could pry open her fingers.
If we really want to find the murderer who killed Christine, then he is the executioner just like her.
If Armand had spoken to her at that time, Ranran guessed he would have said - "As you wish."
This revenge of an eye for an eye and blood for blood has finally come to an end.
When Christine's eyes were completely dim, the death knell rang again with a familiar ticking sound. After the long sound, it was followed by an emotionless broadcast voice.
[Current progress of the main quest is: Pure White Camp 3/5, Pure Black Camp 0/3]
Shen Yin's face became even more gray, as if someone had smeared her entire body with bleak paint, and low whispers flowed out from her lips.
“…It’s over…It’s completely over…Even the president has failed…” Kong Yan’s expression changed drastically. In fact, just one second before Tok attacked Christine, she felt that the butcher would definitely take action.
How could the president allow his mission to fail? I didn't expect...
"Yes... Count Mellis! You..."
The butcher still had that calm expression, as if the number that changed was not him.
"Alice is naive, but Leonor you shouldn't be so naive. We failed a long time ago, didn't we?"
"From the moment Alice failed and Elizabeth turned the tables, we were already unwinnable."
Kong Yan wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true...
Neither camp knows the other's mission, but one thing is clear from the numbers.
It is not a good thing if the number gets bigger, but it is definitely a bad thing if the number gets smaller, because it means that someone's mission has completely failed.
An irreversible failure.
所以在游戏第一次更新任务进度时，两个阵营的数字不该看做3/5和1/3，而应该看做0：1。
Pure white is always one step ahead, and pure black is always one step behind.
The butcher had realized this at that moment, but he was still very curious.
The butcher looked up at Ran Ran, "How did you do that?"
Ran Ran blinked her eyes and said, "It was an accident. It's the truth."
The butcher laughed inexplicably, and with his handsome face, Kong Yan on the side even forgot to feel sad, and just stared blankly with a red face.
"You really have to believe me." Ran Ran said sincerely, "After all, we don't know each other's 'cards', right? Although I like to guess, I can't make random guesses without any basis, and I can't guess so accurately."
The situation was completely reversed. The pure black camp found it unbelievable, and the pure white camp was also shocked.
Ran Ran lowered her eyes and took some time to sort out her thoughts.
She wasn't acting for the butcher just now, what she said was genuine. If the current situation was really what she wanted to create... then such a difficult problem wouldn't have arisen immediately afterwards.
Minister Zhong Ning and Minister Black Tea have completed their tasks. Minister Gao doesn't have to worry about his task. The only ones left are Doctor Bai and her...
It seems like their two missions are contradictory...
[Keep the Castle Death Toll Below Five] and [Kill…]
Ranran sighed. Five people had died now. If she killed one person in order to complete the mission, Dr. Bai's mission would be declared a failure.
Dr. Bai obviously didn't realize this until he saw Ranran's expression from a distance and his heart sank.
"Miss Elizabeth..." Doctor Bai smiled and raised his hand, "Next, should you explain to us how the murderer stole time and led us astray?"
Ran Ran smiled bitterly when she heard this. Doctor Bai is really...
He didn't want to hear the truth, he just wanted to confirm the death toll from her...
But no matter what action Dr. Bai chooses to take after understanding the situation, Ranran needs to explain the process.
"It's actually very simple." Ran Ran's tone was a little heavy, "When the death knell sounded for the first time, the person who died was not Tok."
"Someone killed a man and tampered with the bell in the bell tower so that the bell could not ring again."
"And when everyone was in a panic because of the death knell, someone killed Tok before the killer commissioned by Mrs. Christine."
Someone exclaimed, "It wasn't the killer who killed Tok? The killer failed?!"
"Didn't Miss Elizabeth hint at it before? It was Miss Helen and Miss Ada who did it."
Ran Ran smiled mysteriously, "Yes, the killer did fail, and more than once."
These words stunned everyone for a moment, and soon someone reacted.
There was only one person in the castle whose assassination attempt failed - the coachman.
