Evelin was walking alone in the ball hall, looking for someone who might be Alexander.

But looking for someone like looking for a needle in a haystack is obviously impossible to succeed.

In addition, Evelin's memory of Alexander is very vague, and she might not be able to recognize him if she sees him in person.

What should I do? Or should I turn around and go back now? But I have just come out. If I go back now, Lord Sherlock will definitely be suspicious.

Evelin was a little embarrassed, but she was too nervous to be alone in such an occasion.

"Excuse me, Miss Succubus, are you Lord Sherlock's dance partner?"

Just when Evelin was thinking about what to do, a questioning voice came from behind her.

"Ah? Are you talking to me?"

Evelin turned around and saw an ooze monster wearing a suit. The black suit clung to his body. Because of the mucus on the ooze monster's body, those suits already looked damp and had a sticky feeling, which made people feel

It looks a bit disgusting at first glance, and I don't want to reach out and touch it.

"Of course I'm talking to you, Ms. Evelyn."

The slime monster said politely to the succubus.

"I am Lord Sherlock's dance partner. What can I do for you?"

Evelin turned around and said politely to the ooze monster.

"That's great. I'm looking for Lord Sherlock."

The ooze monster showed a happy expression and said quickly.

"Can you take me to see Lord Sherlock?"

The ooze monster asked Evelin sincerely.

Take him to see Sherlock? Of course there is no problem with this matter. Although it is not clear what the ooze monster wants to do with Sir Sherlock, it should be to discuss business matters.

Evelin was about to greet the ooze monster and go back to find Sherlock.

After all, she had just left not long ago, and Sherlock should still be in the cafeteria area.

But when she just turned around, she felt a sudden blur in front of her eyes, as if there was magic surrounding her.

The figure of the ooze monster in front of her gradually blurred, and Evelin also felt that her body was a little weak. The scene in front of her was like a reflection in the water.

What's wrong with me?

Evelin was a little confused? He shook his head, and then everything in front of him suddenly went dark.

It was like she was standing in a black room, surrounded by silence.

There was still water on the floor of the room as deep as her ankles, and in front of her was a huge iron cage with a yellow seal affixed to it with a big word "sealed" written on it.

There was a snoring sound coming from inside.

It seemed like something huge and terrifying was sleeping inside.

Just when Evelin was confused, a hand suddenly grabbed her and pulled her out of the room. The next second, she returned to the hall where the party was being held.

"Evelin, are you okay?"

In front of Evelin's eyes was Sherlock who was looking at him with concern.

And around him were some guests who looked at him with strange eyes.

They were all looking at Evelin, as if Evelin had done something strange just now.

"Sorry, Master Sherlock, I have nothing to do. I was just a little dizzy just now. By the way, there is an ooze monster looking for you. Where are the others?"

Evelin stretched out her hand and rubbed her head. She looked around, but she only looked at her guests strangely, but she did not see the ooze monster who just talked to her.

"No need to talk about this, let's go out and get some fresh air."

Sherlock took Evelin's hand and led her out of the banquet hall.

It's much quieter outside the banquet hall. Neat green plants are trimmed into artistic shapes in the courtyard. Lights are shining in the distance. Occasionally, you can see a couple walking among the trees.

Evelin's face suddenly turned red when she saw everything in front of her. Is Lord Sherlock hinting at something? But that's not right. In Lord Sherlock's eyes, I should be a black cat and pineapple, right? Lord Sherlock, right?

Do you like Black Cat Pineapple?

But that's a male cat!

Evelin thought about a lot of things in a short period of time.

"Where's the pineapple?"

Sherlock looked at Evelin, then frowned and asked.

"Pineapple, he's in my... huh?"

Evelin had just spoken, and you realized that you seemed to have said the wrong thing, and you had already narrowed your eyes when you saw Sherlock looking at you.

"It's Evelin, right? Aren't you a pineapple?"

Sherlock looked at Evelin in front of him, and Evelin's expression became more and more embarrassed, and her face turned red. It was obvious that he was right.

Sherlock rubbed his head, as if he had a headache:

"This is very strange..."

"I'm sorry, Lord Sherlock. I won't dare to do it next time. Please don't be angry with me."

Evelin looked at Sherlock's expression, lowered her head and said, she seemed to think Sherlock was angry because she had deceived him after all.

"It's not something to be angry about. Evelin, I have some questions to ask you." Sherlock looked at Evelin and said seriously:

"Have you always been like this?"

"What does it look like? Lord Sherlock, please don't misunderstand me. I am not a liar. I just want... to be with you..."

Evelin lowered her head and her voice became lower and lower.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you."

Sherlock waved his hand and said to Evelin.

He glanced at Evelin again to make sure that Evelin was not deliberately hiding anything or lying, and then he said:

"Evelin, please go to the cafeteria and wait for me. I'll be here right away. Remember, no matter who talks to you, don't talk to him. That ooze monster just now, if I guessed it correctly

, he probably wanted to control you with mental magic, but you broke free by relying on your own strength."

"What? Such a thing happened, but why did he do it?"

Evelin had an incomprehensible expression on her face. Why would an ooze treat her like this? She was not an important person, etc. Could it be to deal with Lord Sherlock? He wanted to hold me hostage and then threaten Sherlock.

Sir? If Sir Sherlock hadn't rescued me in time just now, but I was held hostage by those guys, would Sir Sherlock have searched hard for clues about me and then come to rescue me? Oh my God! That's like that

If so, I would be too much of a drag on Lord Sherlock!

Evelin has already written a half-million-word article about a domineering president in her mind.

By the time she reacted, Sherlock had already left the place.

"Lord Sherlock, where are you going?"

Evelin asked nervously.

"I'll go find Nicholas, don't worry."

Sherlock turned around with a smile on his face and didn't look angry. He waved his hand at Evelin and then left. Evelin looked at the direction Sherlock left and could only follow Sherlock's instructions first.

Ordered to go back to the cafeteria to wait for Sherlock.

Not long after Sherlock left, Blue in his mind said:

"This Evelin is a bit unusual. Lord Sherlock, do you think she is deceiving us? Who is the spy sent to the underground city of the eternal capital?"

"A spy wouldn't sell me a dungeon like yours."

Sherlock rejected Blue's guess in one sentence.

"That's really weird. I don't know what's going on with her at all. I originally thought she was a pineapple, so she spontaneously resisted the magic of mind control. Only one of the seventy-two great demons can have such a powerful magic wave.

Is it possible to have it? An Evelin actually possesses such magic power, which has never been discovered before! It’s really surprising.”

After Blue finished speaking, Sherlock showed a thoughtful expression:

"It seems that Evelin herself doesn't know what happened, nor what kind of power she has. We have no choice but to explore these things in a short time and find the ooze monster that attacked Evelin first.

Bar."

Sherlock was talking as he walked, and not long after he finished speaking, there was a noise in front of him.

"Did something happen over there?"

"It looks like an ooze has been killed!"

"No way, here? This is the Merchant Alliance Merchant Gala!"

"It really seems like the representative of the Northern Principality was killed by someone. I just went to check it out. The death of the ooze monster was too tragic."

Sherlock heard the voices of the people in front of him, and his pace quickened a little. He quickly passed through the crowd, and then walked to the place where the people were watching. He saw an ooze monster that was almost liquefied lying limp on the ground.
