Chapter 56 I'm back.
As the two looked at the ruins of the explosion.
Another steam train that was emitting black smoke and had lost power slowly stopped in front of Luo Wei.
Sheriff Ramones came out in a disheveled state.
"Luo Wei...thanks...thanks for reminding me..."
He was breathing heavily, and the tension had only just eased.
"Otherwise...otherwise I would have been blown to death in there..."
Luo Wei looked at him. Apart from some minor skin injuries, every part of his body was intact and he was still as energetic as before.
It’s worthy of him.
The fastest police officer in all of San Karen.
The two embarrassed men looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and sat on the ground.
Looking at the dilapidated buildings in the distance, Sheriff Lemons frowned, "This isn't just a simple disappearance and theft case..."
Hearing the screams, his tone became more and more indignant.
"What exactly is their purpose... Targeting so many unarmed civilians is too much! It's simply insane!"
"A cult's bloody ritual? An enemy nation's declaration of war? Or perhaps..."
The more he thought about it, the more serious he became. The various possibilities far exceeded the scope of his duties as the East District Sheriff.
Just as Sheriff Lemons was lost in thought, many of his colleagues, in various vehicles with sirens blaring, drove towards the ruins from all directions.
After all, the people gathered in this area are either rich or noble. If anything happens to them, the entire St. Karen Police Station cannot afford it.
Luo Wei frowned slightly, and various clues emerged in his mind.
High-end places for the rich and powerful, hijacked airships, students who can fly airships, truth cults, and methods of deceiving the public...
And, a balloon.
In the afternoon, colorful flags were flying on the streets and the emperor reduced taxes for merchants.
To welcome someone.
Luo Wei looked at Sheriff Lemons with a gloomy expression.
"Where is the Fifth Princess attending the banquet?"
These words immediately shocked Sheriff Lemons. Even though he was slow to react, he realized something.
His expression immediately became even gloomier than Luo Wei's.
His fingers trembled as he gently pointed at the ruins ahead.
"The Imperial Hotel..."
It's over.
This was Sheriff Ramones' first thought.
Everyone said that the Fifth Princess wasn't favored by His Majesty, but after all, she was still a member of the royal family, His Majesty's youngest child, a figure he couldn't even dream of...
And looking at the bustling scene on the streets today, there's no way His Majesty dislikes the Fifth Princess; he clearly loves her very much...
But no matter what, the Fifth Princess died in the most prosperous and safe East District, in the area where he was on duty...
It's really over...
Ramones' face was ashen, and he was muttering to himself.
"Assassination..."
"It's an assassination..."
And Luo Wei, after hearing that Ophelia had just been in that area, and that it was likely because of the explosion...
And after death.
There were huge waves in my heart.
Impossible... How could it be...
Ophelia died? Right under his nose?
Is it so easy to die?
Just when he was filled with shock and even doubted his life...
His palm was suddenly firmly grasped by Helena.
Luo Wei followed Helena's wary gaze and looked straight ahead.
A huge black carriage pulled by four horses was speeding towards him.
The carriage was moving at an extremely fast speed and emitted a faint mysterious glow.
Luo Wei narrowed his eyes and looked carefully. There was a complex emblem on the black carriage, which was a combination of a black dragon, a sword and shield, and thorn flowers.
It's the royal carriage.
When Ramones saw the carriage, he was shocked and felt excited and thrilled.
Of course, I wasn't thinking of raising my arms and shouting "Long live His Majesty!" or something like that...but I was thinking that this carriage rushed out from the direction of the ruins, and it was very likely the carriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess!
"Luo Wei! Luo Wei, look!"
"I don't have to be unemployed anymore! The princess is still alive!!"
"Hey? Luo Wei, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Wei's expression was completely opposite to Ramones'. When he saw the royal emblem clearly, his expression suddenly became ugly.
Then, he squatted on the ground as if he had a stomachache , lowered his head, and pulled Helena down with him.
“Don’t look back…”
Can't see me, can't see me...
The royal carriage quickly passed by where Luo Wei and the other two were, and headed towards a farther direction.
Dust was raised all over the sky, and Luo Wei and the other two were immediately covered in dust.
Helena waved the dust and frowned unconsciously.
She glanced at the carriage that was rushing recklessly, her eyes slightly deep.
Is it her car?
Helena looked at her brother again, wanting to see his expression.
Luo Wei squatted on the ground with a heavy heart, still not daring to look at the carriage that had gone away.
Fortunately...she didn't see me...
Although I know that I will meet her one day, I really don't want to see her at this time.
Helena looked at Luo Wei's nervous expression and tilted her head slightly.
"elder brother?"
…
Inside the speeding carriage, a woman with silver hair gently opened the curtains.
Everything behind the car was receding rapidly: ruins, thick smoke, police, and panicked passers-by.
As her eyes inadvertently passed by, Ophelia looked at the civilians squatting on the ground in the distance, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
There is always an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
But the carriage was too fast, and the next second, the tiny figures of the civilians disappeared from sight.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
The maid asked quietly.
"nothing."
A cold and quiet voice sounded faintly.
Maybe I was hallucinating because I was thinking too much.
"Your Highness," a servant asked cautiously.
"His Majesty asked you to return to the palace immediately, and something like this happened outside. It's too dangerous. Do you still want to go there?"
In the bumpy and dim carriage, the attendants could not see the princess's expression.
But this silent silence made the servant even more nervous.
Their princess is quiet and has a cold personality.
The key point is that Her Royal Highness the Princess is ruthless and makes it impossible for anyone to understand her thoughts. This makes every servant feel like they are walking on thin ice when communicating with her.
The atmosphere remained deathly silent, and sweat was oozing from the servants' foreheads.
Just when Her Royal Highness the Princess was slow to respond and the servants were becoming more and more nervous .
"Go see my father."
The cold voice sounded again.
The attendant felt relieved at once.
But he didn't dare show it on his face and just responded in agreement.
"yes!"
The royal carriage slowed down and slowly turned at the intersection ahead.
Ophelia glanced at the increasingly familiar St. Karen Street, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.
What she missed was not this city, she didn't like it.
But...
In the darkness, Ophelia raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
I'm back.
