Chapter 216.2

Leticia closed her eyes.
When she opened them, the Inquisitor’s office was nowhere to be seen. Leticia was looking at herself.
‘I remember this time… I was brainwashed and dragged to Doctor Siebel’s castle.’
The Leticia before her eyes sat by a billiard table. Wearing a black lace dress and with black ribbons tied on both sides of her head, she gently swung her legs from beneath her chair.
Thud. Siebel bent over the billiard table and struck the ball with his cue. As the balls clattered against each other, he slowly straightened up.
Leticia lifted her head and blinked.
<…>
Siebel put down his billiards cue with a light laugh.
Leticia licked her lips with genuine interest.
Siebel said with a light shake of his head.
Siebel explained briefly.
In Kondan’s tomb, there’s a cipher decoder.
The decoder has multiple symbols. You have to press these symbols in a very complex order to open the tomb’s door.
Leticia nodded.
Siebel took out a pendulum from his pocket.
<…>
Siebel said.
“Yes, this is my memory.”
Leticia closed her eyes, recalling the memory.

Blink. Leticia opened her eyes.
“Cedric?”
“Leticia! Are you alright?”
Upon opening her eyes, she saw clear, beautiful purple eyes. It was Cedric.
“I was startled when you lost consciousness.”
“How long was I out?”
“About 20 minutes. A doctor will be here soon.”
“A doctor… A doctor isn’t the important thing right now. Cedric, my notebook!”
Leticia sat up hastily.
“…What?”
“Cedric, I know it’s strange for your unconscious girlfriend to suddenly look at you suspiciously and then urgently ask for a notebook! But trust me, this is really important. Oh, where did I put my notebook? And bring me the colored inks too!”
“…Well, it’s not the first time you’ve acted logically in an illogical manner. Here’s the notebook and pen.”
Cedric quickly handed her a notebook and pen…
“Leticia, are you crying now?”
“Sniff, I’m happy. I like the kind Cedric… I don’t like the man from the dream.”
Hastily, Leticia started jotting down symbols and their order from her memory.
“What’s next?”
Cedric asked.
“Next is…”
Leticia inhaled and smiled.
“It’s been a while. Hunting.”
“It hasn’t been that long. It’s not even been a month since the last incident.”
“Oh, I guess the blood of that criminal on my rifle hasn’t dried yet.”
Leticia said.
“Baal.”
She then took out a rifle from beside her bed and walked out briskly.
“If I’ve calculated the time correctly, it should be fine.”
