Chapter 150 The Mysterious Man Who Was Captured
Just as Qiuhe and Funingna were enjoying their cake, a man dressed like a reporter entered the cake shop. "Hi, manager, could I have a 'Sleeping Dream' cake?"
The sound caught Qiuhe's attention. Qiuhe looked to the side and saw the woman in front of him, as well as a bag hanging from his waist that looked like a camera.
Judging from his attire, he was undoubtedly a reporter. Qiuhe then spoke to Funina in front of him:
"Sister, I heard that the Execution Court and the Shadow Chasing Court have been tracking Lanah's whereabouts these past few days, but I saw Lanah near Autumn Equinox Mountain a few days ago."
"And he was even killed by several masked men," Qiuhe said, raising his voice slightly, while Funingna looked very puzzled.
I don't understand why this news is coming at this time; I shouldn't have told Vilette about this, but just then...
As expected, the reporter sitting nearby, sensing a juicy story after hearing Qiuhe's words, eventually approached him.
"Excuse me, young man, I overheard you mentioning Ranach. You said he was killed by some masked man. Could you tell me more about it?"
"Well, I'm a bit curious," Qiuhe said, having succeeded. He then launched into a long, elaborate speech to the reporter, elaborating for a full half hour.
The reporter in front of him had filled several pages of his notebook with notes, and Qiuhe noticed that the reporter's face was filled with excitement and shock.
At this moment, the reporter in front of them excitedly said to Qiu He, "My goodness, this information is so useful! Thank you, little friend!"
After Qiuhe said "No need to thank me," the reporter felt that Qiuhe's face seemed somewhat familiar, and after studying it for a while, he finally remembered.
"Wait, you, you're the little hero who sued Destriker in court yesterday," the surrounding guests said after hearing the reporter's words.
They all looked at Qiuhe. At that moment, some of those who had been to the Opiclie Opera House the previous night recognized Qiuhe, while those who hadn't...
But having read the Steambird newspaper, everyone in the audience recognized him immediately. As for Qiuhe himself, upon hearing the word "hero," he paused for a moment.
He then turned to look at Funina, who waved her hand, indicating she didn't know either. The reporter then smiled and said:
"To be honest, when I heard what you just said, I was still a little skeptical, after all, it was information from a child."
"But since it's you, I'm relieved." The reporter then hurriedly left the cake shop with the finished cake. Qiuhe then turned to Funina and asked:
"I'm famous now," Funina said in a low voice. "I don't know, but it seems so."
The two had just finished eating their cake and left the bakery, intending to stroll around outside. But as soon as they stepped out the door and turned around, suddenly there was a loud bang.
The sound of something sharp being nailed to the wall reached Qiuhe and Funingna's ears, drawing their attention.
Looking around but finding nothing, the two turned around and saw a kunai nailed to the wall behind them, with a note tied to the end.
Qiuhe, curious, stepped forward and took the note. The note clearly read: "Leyi, come to the New Fontaine Academy of Sciences. I'll be waiting for you here."
Judging from the handwriting on the note and the way it was delivered, Qiuhe guessed who it was. Qiuhe then spoke to Funina, who was standing nearby:
"Sorry, Funina, I have to leave for a bit. I'll come back to you after I'm done."
After saying goodbye to Funina, Akikawa headed to the New Fontaine Academy. Shortly after arriving, Kirie appeared behind him.
"Lei." Hearing Kirie's voice, Qiuhe turned around and saw Kirie. "What's wrong, Kirie? Is there something you need?"
Upon hearing this, Kirie asked with a somewhat troubled expression, "Isn't it about that incident at the bottom of the Gray River?" Akikawa, too, seemed puzzled.
Thinking that Ranach had already been handed over to Kugavina, what else could it be? But then Qiuhe suddenly realized, "You mean...?"
Chehui then nodded, "Yes, it's about the mysterious person you impersonated. Although the Lanach matter has been resolved..."
But my mother also said that I needed to catch Ranach and that mysterious man. She said I had to find that mysterious man or get evidence that he had indeed disappeared.
Otherwise, I probably won't be able to go back," Qiuhe said, somewhat worried. After all, Lanakh was real and could be used.
But this mysterious person was none other than Qiuhe himself. Could he possibly sacrifice himself? The two pondered this for a long time before Qiuhe suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"I've got it!" The two had been quietly brainstorming a solution when Akikawa suddenly exclaimed, startling Kirie. Akikawa then spoke up:
"Kise, wait for me here, I'll be right back," Qiuhe said, and then strode quickly away from the New Fontaine Academy of Sciences.
After some time, Kirie, who was sitting on a rock to the side, suddenly heard a voice behind her call, "Kiri," someone was calling her.
Kirie turned around to look, but as soon as she turned around, she realized that the person in front of her was someone she had never seen before. Seeing Kirie standing there dumbfounded...
Qiuhe spoke in her own voice, "Let's go, take me to see our mother." Hearing that familiar voice...
Chehui immediately understood, while Kujavina was sitting in a chair in her room, holding a potted plant. She was staring intently out the window.
Standing to the side were a Fatui instructor and a Fatui envoy. "Is everything arranged?" Kujavina suddenly asked the Fatui instructor.
At this moment, the foolish instructor also spoke up, "Yes, sir, we have already prepared the dueling grounds these past few days, and are just waiting for your order."
Kujavina glanced at the time. "No rush, there are still two hours left. Besides, even if the time comes, the children still need to eat."
"Knock, knock, knock," came a knock at the door. Kujavina, as if expecting it, said, "Come in, my good child."
As soon as he finished speaking, Che Hui gently pushed open the door and strolled into the room. He was tightly gripping an iron chain in his hand, and lightning element was surging along the chain.
When the other end of the chain was pulled into the house, the Fool's envoys standing beside Kujavina saw the thing bound by Chehui.
Suddenly frozen in place, then utterly horrified. He stammered, "M- ...
The sound instantly filled the entire room. Kujavina spun around in her chair and slowly looked towards the doorway, where she saw someone completely bound in chains.
A man a full head taller than Chehui, Kujavina greeted him with a smile, saying, "Little Wendy, nice to meet you."
"Why bother dressing up like this?" As soon as Kujavina finished speaking, the man in front of her instantly shattered the iron chains binding him.
Upon seeing this, Kirie drew her short sword with incredible speed and lunged at the man before her. Even though Kirie's speed was so fast it was imperceptible to the naked eye...
The masked man easily grabbed Chehui's hand, then with a swift movement, hurled her at Kujavina like a projectile.
Kujavina easily grabbed Chee by the back of her collar with one hand, catching her and then setting her aside.
"I'm sorry, Mother," Kujavina said, raising her hand to indicate she didn't mind. At that moment, the masked man standing in the doorway lifted a foot.
He made a downward chopping motion, then slammed his foot down, snapping the height-increasing device he was standing on in half and sending it crashing to the ground. Then came his other foot...
After the height-increasing structures beneath his feet snapped, the Fool's messenger looked at the masked man before him and spoke again: "That's right, it's him, this height..."
He was the mysterious child who lay at the bottom of the grey river that day.
