kill those singularities

Monte Cristo Detective Agency.

"A masquerade?"

"That's what the policeman said." X Mao picked up the coffee on the table and drank it, exhaling hot air, "To welcome New Year's Day, a masquerade ball will be held in front of the square of the castle palace, starting at 8 o'clock tomorrow night , There will be fireworks at 10 o'clock."

The count tapped on the table, the night of the 28th?Suddenly he laughed out loud.

"Assistant." He snapped his fingers and asked, "Is it sunny tomorrow?"

"Yes, it is a rare good weather without snow."

Sanson was performing card tricks for Abigail and Lavinia. Abigail applauded from time to time, and even Lavinia, who was vigilant and timid at the beginning, no longer shrank behind Abigail and behaved obediently. Sit on the couch and eat fruit.

While shuffling the cards, San Song glanced not far away, "What happened to Master and the others?"

The count lit a cigarette: "There is internal strife."

Isn't it just a disagreement? You put it this way...X hairy probe took a look, and retreated decisively as if nothing happened.She opened her notebook and recorded: The unknown organization called Brotherhood in Yellow was not completely captured, but we set fire to their suspected lair and rescued Miss Lavinia who knew nothing; People secretly and illegally arrested ordinary people under the banner of "all things belong to one religion", and the speed of their escape was shocking.Throughout the ages, many mysterious sects have been born on the earth, and those cults, without exception, are doing things that seek wealth and kill people, just like a group of red-eyed mice. Facts have proved that they must be eradicated as soon as possible.Regrettably, we have not been able to retrieve the remains of any of the missing persons so far...

remains……

After writing here, X stopped, a little sad.

The projection of Da Vinci hung brightly in the air, and the screen behind the profiteer showed that a live-action TV series was being played in the lounge. X closed his notebook and watched it for a long time and couldn't help asking: "What is this playing? Chaldea Do you also provide after-dinner movies?"

Da Vinci smiled: "Some people ordered "Legend of Merlin"."

Hearing the name of the unscrupulous boss and mentor, X's dumbfounded hair trembled, and he backed away quickly, "No, it's impossible for anyone to be interested in Merlin."

"Gateia probably can't be considered a human..."

"Really? He's too boring. I think he will die of anger after watching this show. I have a game that I can contribute, called "Tesla vs. Lovecraft". The treasure of the Second Town Council, I think the patriarch would not mind sharing it with others." After Wen Shuo reported the recent situation, he patted the popcorn scum on his hands and stood up, "Okay, I'm going to find Ah Rong."

Then he was blocked by a translucent arm.

Wen Shuo complained to Da Vinci: "Seeing that there is no Da Vinci relative, someone is obstructing the official business."

And the owner of the arm was extremely firm: "You can't go to that man named Arong."

"You've been using food tricks to stop me since morning, what kind of grudge does Arong have with you, Robin, I won't be eaten by her..."

"Because that guy is too dangerous!"

"How do you know the danger? Did you become someone else's snail girl behind our backs?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Faceless King angrily stuffed a glass of sparkling jelly into Wen Shuo's hand, "If I were snails, I would have turned into food scraps."

Wen Shuo sneered, "So you really didn't tell me something important!"

……

X looks left and right, how indifferent everyone is in the face of this quarrel!Da Vinci pro even started drawing!

She opened the notebook resentfully and recorded: The world is cold, this society needs us to devote more love and justice...

"Well, who is Ah Rong?"

"Kuhahahahahahahaha, thank you, this is the time for a wise detective to appear." After watching the play for a while, the famous detective Edmund put on a trench coat, opened the glass door with a pipe in his mouth.

Before leaving completely, he turned around and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is quite necessary to attend the masquerade party tomorrow night, and something good will happen then. I will invite Arong, no, Ms. Katsushika to go together .” As he spoke, he looked at Wen Shuo with a half-smile, “Do you need me to prepare a dress for you?”

"I want Ultraman Tiga's leather case."

"...I take back what I just said." The detective closed the door.

X and Sanson spent the whole afternoon running back and forth between the detective agency and the police station. They sent Abigail and Lavinia home and told them not to go out at will.When the sky was dark and the smoke was rising, X was walking back to the detective agency when he remembered something, paused, and turned towards the theater.

Masquerade?

X has a strong premonition that things will end soon.Salieri was still writing furiously at his desk in the office, and he was not surprised to see X coming, and said, "Sit down." There were layers of manuscripts stacked in front of him, and he was about to be buried in them, as if he wanted to The inspiration and talent that can be released are swayed together with the share of the next life.

X doesn't understand musicians, but he still quietly waited for Salieri to finish his creation, so he saw this man brushing, brushing, touching a candy, brushing, brushing, touching a candy...

When the candy tray was empty, Salieri put down his pen contentedly.He smiled at X apologetically, and said: "When I was the director of the opera house, I always had to be distracted to manage affairs. When I was old, my spirit was not very good, and I couldn't help it when I had time."

X said earnestly: "It's very cool to be persistent in your lifelong pursuit." The tranquility, joy, enthusiasm... and occasional nostalgia in the creation are very moving, and it can be seen that this person has probably lived a happy life. A lifetime, or at least a lifetime that I consider myself happy.As far as she knows, this is rare among Heroic Spirits.

"I came to ask, do you know about the masquerade tomorrow night?"

"Oh, I know that. Sergeant Emiya also asked me to pay attention to this event. They also borrowed a few people from the theater. There will be police officers to maintain order at the dance tomorrow night." Salieri packed up the draft and gave it to X I made coffee with myself and put out fresh pastries, "Does Master have any ideas and plans?"

"We're all going to this ball. Mr. Detective and Brother Emiya both said that the fish that escaped from the two cults will appear." X took out two feather masks of different shapes from his bag and handed them to Salieri. The master and I bought it."

One is golden and the other is red and black, unexpectedly normal.There is still a note stuck on the golden feather mask... a simple invitation?

The musician laughed, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Thank you."

It was indeed a sunny day on the 28th. During the day, the sun shone brightly, and the thin snow was covered with gold; in the evening, the red clouds were boiling, and in the twilight, the residents of the small town went to the castle palace in twos and threes, and there were a lot of exotic clothes.

Wen Shuo stood on a wall tens of meters away from the palace square, observing the arrangement of the dance venue from a distance.The square is well-equipped with lighting and music, and flowers, drinks, and drinks are also available in sufficient quantities.In addition, there are nine square boulders arranged in a V shape, each of which is graffitied with bright patterns and tied with colorful balloons.

"The Ninth Five-Year Plan..." Wen Shuo whistled and jumped off the wall.As you can see just now, there are a lot of yellow cloaks floating in those fancy clothes, if I knew she would have pulled a piece of yellow curtain cloth into it.

The bell rang at eight o'clock, and Wen Shuo put on a black feather mask and entered the venue.
