Chapter 524 The girl’s determination


    It can be seen that this incident dealt a great blow to Mary. When she came to Duanmuhuai''s mansion again the next day, she still looked exhausted, but at this moment the girl''s expression was quite decisive.


    "I have decided, sir, no matter what, I will let Charlie wake up."


    "So what you''re saying is that you''re not going to give up? Charlie has obviously written in the letter that this is her choice. As a friend, shouldn''t you respect her choice?"


    Putting down the teacup in his hand, Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes and stared at Mary, who shook her head vigorously.


    "Because we are good friends, I will not let her leave so easily. I must bring her back... Because this is our agreement. We have agreed that no matter what happens to Charlie, I will always bring her back..." Will bring her back!"


    ?Hmm, your courage is commendable.


    ?Hearing Mary''s answer, Duanmuhuai nodded, then he stared at Mary, and suddenly asked coldly.


    "By the way, do you really have no idea at all about the reason why Charlie did this?"


    "Why?"


    Hearing this, Mary was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head in confusion.


    “Not at all, we have been together all the time. I can’t imagine anything that would make Charlie like this...”


    To be honest, Mary is probably straight. It’s hard to say for the one named Charlie.


    Duanmuhuai now particularly wants to recommend an anime to Mary, called "Kannazuki''s..."


    ?Hmm, I understand everything.


    ?But before that, he still had something to say.


    "Really? But I have to remind you. You may have forgotten, but the people who participated in that seminar all had weird monsters. Moreover, they even went around killing people late at night, sacrificing them in an attempt to open the door. That Tartar Gate... Since Dr. Capek believes that Miss Charlotte has reached the Tartar Gate, then... you should understand what I mean."


    Hearing this, Mary''s expression suddenly became extremely stiff, while Duanmuhuai stared at her and spoke word by word.


    “Would you bet on the odds? On the odds that your best friend isn’t a murderer?”


    …………”


    At this moment, Mary''s hands and feet suddenly felt cold. Only then did she remember that, indeed, according to the documents she saw, those people needed to sacrifice to open the Tartar Gate. Now that Charlie had entered the Tartar Gate , so does it mean that she was also responsible for those legendary strange murders in the foggy city before?


    ?Indeed, if you think about it carefully, on the night when Charlie fell into a coma, didn''t she want to talk to herself about the strange murders from the beginning?


    ??It’s just that she later said it was a joke and passed it off.


    Now it looks like...did she really do it?


    ?That Charlie, who is always gentle and calm, and sometimes a little childish... can kill people?


    ?Mary doesn’t believe it, but does she not want to believe it? Still don’t want to believe it? Or maybe you can’t believe it?


    ?Mary herself couldn’t say.


    She lowered her head and held her skirt tightly with both hands. At this moment, Mary felt a chill all over her body. As Duanmu Huai said, does she want to bet on this possibility? Charlie didn''t kill anyone. Did she get to the Tartar Gate through other means?


    No……


    ?Mary shook her head, then strengthened her belief.


    She believed in Charlie, Charlie would not do such a cruel thing! Sacrifice the lives of innocent people to achieve your own wishes, this is not Charlie''s character! He was her childhood sweetheart. The two grew up together and were very close. He knew very well what kind of person Charlie was.


    She would never do such a thing!


    “I don’t know how to bet.”


    ?Mary raised her head, looked at Duanmuhuai, and spoke word by word.


    "Because I know that Charlie is not such a person, and she will never do such a thing!"


    ………Well, I hope you’re right.”


    Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, but looking at his appearance, Mary couldn''t help but become nervous.


    “Sir, what would you do if you met these people?”


    “Kill them of course.”


    Duanmuhuai gave the answer calmly. "This group of people use witchcraft to collaborate with demons and harm innocent people. They are like heretics. As a judge, I will naturally kill every one I see."


    “Judge?”


    "Yes, I am an investigator, but I am also a judge of the Tribunal. Investigator is my hobby, and being a judge is my profession... Do you have any questions?"


    …………”


    ?Mary hesitated and shook her head. I have to say that when Duanmu Huai said he wanted to kill someone just now, his murderous tone really scared her. But Mary didn''t dare to say that Duanmu Huai was wrong. No matter what these people wanted to do, killing so many people was a bad thing in itself and they would naturally be punished. It''s just that... for a delicate young lady, killing is still too far away for her.


    “Very good, since there’s nothing else to do, let Lorena take you to exercise.”


    "Why?!"


    Hearing this, Mary was so frightened that she almost jumped up. Then she remembered that she had not exercised today. Before she could say anything, Lorena came to Mary''s side with a smile on her face and grabbed her hand.


    "Don''t worry, Miss Mary! I have created a suitable exercise method for you, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"


    “Wait, wait a minute, I...”


    “Exercise is about perseverance, go for it.”


    Seeing Mary being dragged away by Lorena, Duanmu Huai also smiled and said nothing. Lorena only had this hobby. There were not many girls in the court who could cooperate with her. It was hard to find one now. One, of course, would not let Mary run away easily.


    “Meow, meow, meow.”


    ?Marie was pulled away by Lorena, and Duanmuhuai also lay on the sofa. At this moment, the black cat and the little white rabbit also got out of his pocket and ran around Duanmuhuai''s body. Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and started to think while stroking the rabbit and the black cat.


    From the current point of view, things are very obvious. Of course, there are still some parts of the whole thing that are not clear. For example, who are the seven people in the Capek Research Society? Duanmuhuai currently knows from Capek’s information. There was only him and the woman named Maria Bell. Later, Maria Bell died, and there were only four people left in Capek Research. At this time, Charlotte joined the Capek Research Society and continued to study Xia. Ernos and the Tartar Gate research, and coming from behind, Charlotte Bronte, who came in last, became the first person to arrive at the Tartar Gate.


    ?Tatar Gate, Charnos, what exactly is it?


    Duanmuhuai recalled it carefully, but he didn’t know much. The Gate of Tartar is the gate of **** controlled by Hecate, the goddess of the underworld in mythology, but it’s hard to say what this door is used for. Not to mention that in this world where demons are raging, who knows if there are a bunch of outer gods and old rulers hidden behind the door...


    In any case, we will know when the time comes.


    ??Just when Duanmu Huai was caressing the cat and petting the rabbit leisurely, Mary also started exercising again. This time Lorena did not let her run five kilometers, but this series of exercises also made Mary extremely tired.


    “Miss Lorena…”


    After finally completing a round of training, Mary finally had free time to rest, so she also rested while looking at Lorena beside her. Although this young lady was a little too "enthusiastic" about exercising, she was still a very kind person, so Mary didn''t dislike her.


    “Excuse me, where is the Tribunal?”


    "Ah, the Tribunal is the organization of the Lord Knights..."


    As a roving priest, Lorena is one of the people who has been with Duanmu Huai for the longest time. Naturally, she is very familiar with the nature of the Tribunal. When Mary asked about it, she also explained it to the other party. Of course, Lorena didn''t say those weird things, but even so, it was strange enough for Mary.


    A mysterious organization that travels across the stars, destroying everything that dares to threaten humanity, even gods?


    To be honest, if she hadn’t experienced what happened before, Mary would have thought this was some kind of fairy tale.


    "So……"


    However, just when Mary was about to ask more about Duanmuhuai, she suddenly felt a strange cold air.


    This feeling is very familiar to her!


    ?That night, it was the same! It seems like something is staring at me!


    Could it be said that......


    Before Mary could react, Duanmuhuai appeared beside them at some unknown moment.


    “Get ready to go, something is coming.”
