The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 624 Ch.623 Cursed Burns

The Rolando people recovered Halida's brother, and his body was well preserved due to the secret method of the Ring of Eternal Silence.

But he didn't understand Halida's situation.

According to Rose's observations over the past few days, Halida has no way of 'giving up' her brother - her spirit has been damaged to a certain extent, and cowardice and madness are like two sides of the same coin that are added to her fragile body at the same time. in the soul.

They tear her apart and protect her when the scales tip.

Rose didn't know if both "cavalry" and "assassins" were like this, but it would be too 'stable' to treat her brother as a switch - just like what happened yesterday.

Once Halida, the hound, went crazy, they would not have time to respond effectively in the distance they usually get along with each other.

"Iron Cavalry" increases the body's body much more than "Secret Scroll" and "Saint".

At least before arriving at the High Ring, Rose was unwilling to be slapped unexpectedly by Hallida.

so.

She asked Old Tom to ask if there was any ritual that could make corpses 'portable': Although it sounded a bit whimsical, Old Tom gave a surprising answer.

'Of course. ’

He gave a name that was somewhat familiar to Rose.

‘Burns. ’

Maid May, Mason Lyle who died in prison, the genie in the bottle.

The reason why Halida joined the tea party was her past.

As a servant of an earl's family, the maid Mei is just a meaningless "offset" in this story. She can be mentioned again because of the master she serves——

In fact, people would rather call her 'Mrs. Field' or 'Ms. Field'.

This famous black widow has a legendary first half of its life (it’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad), and was even considered cursed by ‘decent people’:

She was married three times. The first husband died in a car accident on the day of her wedding; the second husband was involved in a fight after drinking too much and died from a gunshot; the third husband, Mr. Field, died of illness on an ocean-going ship a few years ago.

Her three husbands failed to give her a son and a half, but they left her an astonishing amount of wealth and connections.

‘The Black Widow of London’.

People call her that.

Rather than calling her husband Field, they preferred to call her by her original surname: Burns.

'Because no matter whose surname she inherited, sooner or later it would just be "Burns." ’

Old Tom told Rose this.

Many people have wondered whether she murdered her husband because of her property. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental that these three deaths happened to the same person——

First, Ms. Burns's husbands had few relatives and few friends, leaving few male heirs to inherit their wealth if they died.

Secondly, it is not as if Ms. Burns was ill and had no children for many years.

It’s hard to say that this was not a ‘murder target’ that she deliberately chose to marry just to seize men’s wealth.

The authorities once intervened in the investigation, monitored and interrogated her for half a year. In addition to being unable to use physical torture, they tried their best to use their imagination to torture her mentally in an attempt to make her repent and tell the truth. What kind of crime have you committed?

But except for some secrets in life and between bed...

In the end, they got nothing.

Scotland Yard's involvement damaged Burns' reputation, but to some extent it also publicized this incredible case, a woman with a "continuous streak of good luck"——

The Illustrated London News followed up on this miraculous event a few years ago, calling it "The Tragedy of Three Men, the Miracle of One Woman."

Obviously, everyone knows what ‘miracle’ represents.

She had no worries about food and clothing, and even lived a more respectable life than most upper-class gentlemen: the more famous landed aristocrats earned an enviable annual income of one hundred thousand pounds from doing nothing, and this money was left to the poor people in the East End. In your pocket, you can almost live until the end of the world.

But this is only a small part of the wealth left to her by Ms. Burns's first husband.

soon.

There is a man who is not afraid of her 'curse'.

If I could become this lady's lover, gain her favor, support, and investment, and achieve a great career—a curse? The widow who brings disaster?

I was born with a lot of luck, but I am worried that life is too boring.

Whether you are young or a little older, you are just like the frogs croaking by the lake at night:

As soon as they were out of sight, they started to scream and shout, vying to show off their deep, moving eyes like stars in the world, their elastic tongues that never tire, and their muscular thighs and chests. .

It is for this reason that the investigation into Burns cannot proceed: too many people speak for her.

‘The benefactor is above! That's just a woman! ’

‘If a woman can be ruthless and capable of murdering three men, the man she loves deeply on her pillow – then we have to consider whether we should send these girls with long skirts and thin waists to Kabul next time. ’

The Post used the most conspicuous bold title to satirize the "morality" of the pictorial, saying that the editors make money from women and the misfortune of a woman who lost her husband three times and had a tragic and bleak life. This has no morals and is almost the same as an animal. .

The newspaper's editors also drew a cartoon mocking each other:

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

A "humanoid monster" with a pointed mouth and face and pus all over his body was holding a pen and paper, secretly pushing open the door and peeping at the woman who was changing clothes behind the door.

'It seems that we have not won the war because we have ignored women - at least the gentlemen in the illustrated magazine think that girls have this ability. '

Soon.

The wind direction changed.

This incident became a topic of conversation among the people, but it was an extremely conspicuous "trap" in the upper class circles.

No one wanted to add an unseemly name to their head.

So Ms. Burns's surveillance and interrogation were lifted, she regained her freedom, and was no longer suspected of being a murderer - although the "murder" version of the story was still circulating in the streets or at some private gatherings without her.

They were all guessing how Burns killed people without revealing any flaws.

"So, that Burns is a ritualist?"

As soon as he arrived in the living room, servants swarmed in.

Some took off their cloaks, took off their shoes and socks, wiped their feet, cleaned their fingers and arranged their hair, lit incense, and set the table.

Rose has adapted now.

She sat on a soft cushion, with a small cashmere blanket on her legs, one hand gently held by the maid, and talked to the old housekeeper casually.

"No, Burns is not a ritualist."

Tom stood on the other side, distractedly monitoring the servants' work while talking, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth - he was very proud of "taming" a bad girl who was unhygienic and ignorant of etiquette into a standard lady.

"She is a mortal, undoubtedly a mortal. After Scotland Yard intervened in the investigation, the Inspectorate followed closely behind," said old Tom slowly: "I don't think she can hide her power in front of a high-ring ritualist..."

"What's more, it's a six-month investigation."

Old Tom said.

If she can, it means that the rabbit has grown wings.

She is at least above the eighth ring.

"This is impossible and unreasonable."
