Operation Red Book

Chapter 457: Army Soldiers Come to Support

"Lord Marquis Sebastian."

Christine bowed hurriedly to the visitor, and before the Marquis could respond, she hid behind Ivy with a red face.

"We are fine!"

Ivy replied bluntly.

"That...that's good."

The Marquis stood there awkwardly, looking behind Ivy with an unwilling look.

Christine buried her head in silence, and the Marquis stammered a few times, then was called aside by his subordinates.

Before leaving, he opened his mouth but said nothing.

But Ivy noticed the disappointment in the Marquis' eyes. This look made her sixth sense in her mind buzz.

Thinking back to what Christine had said to her, the void in Ivy's heart suddenly had an answer.

"Kiki, let me ask you, that old toad caught you and even stripped off your coat..."

"But then, when you came out to save me with a pistol in your hand, you were fully dressed and impeccable..."

"It seems like the beginning and the end of this story don't connect at all? Oh! Did you miss a key person?"

Ivy spoke slowly, but Christine grabbed her collar tightly for some reason.

"Go back a little further, when Mrs. Bruce had just come out and the two of us had just been caught by the black robe, something was wrong with you..."

"Could it be that... at that time... the Marquis had already been lurking in the black robe, collecting evidence and saving a beautiful woman from the mouth of a vampire before running out to ask for reinforcements?"

"And you...had already discovered it?"

The more Ivy thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. If that was true, then she was really a light bulb from beginning to end... The Joker... Steve...

"Christine Goodwin!" Ivy yelled angrily.

"Well..." She was startled, but refused to reply.

After a long time, Christine poked her head out from behind Ivy.

Facing Ivy's questioning eyes, she said nothing, avoided her gaze, and moved her feet to the side little by little.

"Christine! Where are you!?"

It was not until a loud shout was heard in the distance that Christine ran away as if escaping.

"Hey! Don't run!"

She ran so fast, as fast as a rabbit in the grass.

Ivy screamed, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran forward to follow Christine's footsteps, but suddenly stopped her anxious steps halfway.

The second army arrived, they were wearing dark red uniforms, and each of them rode a beautiful Arabian horse.

The two men in the lead were the leaders of this army. One had a majestic and tall figure, and looking at his messy champagne-colored curly hair, it was not difficult to guess that he was Christine's brother, the eldest son of the Goodwin family, Captain Felix Goodwin.

As for the other person, Ivy couldn't be more familiar.

His neat and clean short light brown hair, handsome and suave appearance, humble and polite temperament, and neat and generous etiquette are completely in line with his status as an earl.

Ivy fell into the emerald green pool almost the moment she looked at him. For some reason, whenever he appeared, Ivy would unconsciously hold her breath and her heart would beat wildly.

She must be sick. Ivy lowered her eyes and squatted down inexplicably.

She didn't want him to see it, and maybe he didn't want to see it either. Or maybe he wanted her to see it, but she didn't want to see it...

She didn't know, and she didn't know what would happen next...

"Little sheep... help me up..."

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded in Ivy's ears.

She was startled and looked around hurriedly.

"Ah! Holmes!"

Seeing the familiar figure in the distance, Ivy shouted in panic and quickly crawled towards the weak Holmes in a squatting position.

"Are you ok?"

Walking to his side, Ivy picked up Holmes' upper body, but suddenly found that her dress was immediately stained with blood.

Oh no, Dalton had smashed a hole in the back of his head. If he wasn't treated quickly, the consequences would be disastrous...

Ivy's expression suddenly became serious. Soldiers were busy walking around all around her, but no one took the time to look at them.

"Hey! There are wounded people here! There are..."

"It's okay, I'm fine..." Holmes held her hand and said with all his strength, "A young man just went to report to Sebastian. He will be here soon. I'm fine..."

"then you……"

"Listen to me, little sheep. Give this pocket watch to Jacob."

As he spoke, Holmes took out an exquisite pocket watch from his chest and handed it to Ivy with trembling bloody hands.

"I just secretly took it from Sebastian. It's a reward given to him by the Queen a few days ago. It's super valuable, hehehe..."

At this time, he was still in the mood to joke. Ivy was so angry that she wiped away her tears twice.

She raised her fist and pretended to hit him twice in the chest, but was frightened by Holmes' violent coughing and retreated.

"I'll take you there first..."

"No, give it to him now," Holmes declined.

"He wants to turn the entire Lake Eden into holy water to allow the souls of the remaining people to return. This is not something that an ordinary priest like him can handle..."

"Then...how do we solve it?" Ivy asked.

"Ask him. When he was a child, he experienced an evil black mass. Everyone who attended the mass died, including his biological parents and a sister."

"He was the only one who survived. However, in the original plan, he was the sacrifice of the Black Mass. But later, something...something very unexpected happened."

"Unexpected...what happened?" Ivy's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"If you don't give him this clock, no one in Leiyi will survive!"

Holmes suddenly became angry.

"He's right next to Lake Eden, hurry over there!"

"Oh oh oh..."

"Take the pocket watch and go over there!"

"Oh oh oh..."

"Are you a crab? Why are you walking squatting? Stand up! Run faster! Hurry up! Cough cough cough..."
