Chapter 266 - Chapter 138 Part 2 Secret Meeting?

Finally, they roughly knew what they had to do. Apparently, they needed to find a door blade and another key... But how exactly?

Fiona: "Hmm..."

(Knock) (Knock)

Fiona: "Huh?"

She opened the window, but there was nobody there.

Fiona: "Hmm?... Strange."

Just as she was about to close it, she found a letter.

Fiona: "Huh?"

She took it and opened it. It was from The Joker.

Fiona: "Joker?"

She looked at it.

Dear Fiona or Sophie... whoever is reading this letter... Surely you have heard of secret meetings before?... Right? Then I want to give you a tip about where you can find quite a few things... In the large building in Grazburg. I cannot be there anyway... so how about a deal? The Finger is there too. How about we go there? Maybe we can find information about the door blade or the key. she wrote

Fiona: "What is she planning?... Hmm... Meeting at 3 PM..."

She looked at the clock.

...11 AM?... Large building... Does she mean the castle of Wels Pölten?... Hmmm... But it is already quite far... rather go alone... It could be a trap... and Fiona do not want Sophie to get into danger for no reason."

She took her clothes.

Fiona: "Alright... Joker... I guess I have to be careful."

She took the mouth mask.

Fiona: "I will take this..."

She took one of Lilly Moon's cars and drove away.

Fiona: "Hmmm?... Uh."

Siegfried: "Where are you headed?"

Fiona: "(Sweating) I have a mission."

Siegfried: "I am coming with you."

Fiona: "Haaaaah... Fine... Come on, get in."

Fiona leads him in she startet the car but siegfried forgot Fiona is a bad driver really bad she really did in fact have a problem because of her food but in the same time it is because Driving is not something she learned in Howgarts Experiments 

Siegfried: "Okay."

He got in and she drove away.

Siegfried: "Where are we going?"

Fiona: "To Wels Pölten..."

Siegfried: "Oh... okay."

Wels Pölten a big city and is beloved because of the views of the Mountains and nature. Surely, this has to be a bea city but Fiona and Siegfried do Not want to go there because of a Picnic well because of a Mission wich means they can't Really enjo the view.

(Three hours later)

Siegfried: "What are we doing here?"

Fiona: "Can you please stay here..."

Siegfried: "Hmm?... Don't worry, I am armed."

Fiona: "Haaah... Okay... I want you to keep watch."

Siegfried: "Is that the abandoned castle?"

Fiona: "Yes, Pottendorf Castle... Hmm?"

Siegfried: "What are you doing?"

Fiona: "Hiding the car."

She took something out of her hat, some kind of blanket, and covered the car so no one can Finde them or suspects them as everyones car war blanket to probaly because of The Police?

Fiona: "Stay alert."

Siegfried: "Sure."

They carefully looked around. no soul the be Found only a cat ...a dark cat it was cute and she was only looking at them. still no people, no other human to be seen.

Siegfried: "Hmm?"

Fiona: "There are people."

Siegfried: "Masked people... Creepy masks... I do not have a mask."

Fiona: "I only have a mouth covering... Whatever... Let's find another way in?"

Siegfried: "How about the air vent?"

Fiona: "Hmm?... Yeah... Good idea."

They carefully opened it. It was dark darker then ... da but still she has to go there and see what happens there because it might be intresting or ..dangerous or important.

Fiona: "There..."

Siegfried: "Ladies first."

Fiona: "Thank you very much... Gentleman... Hm."

Siegfried: "Sure... Let's go inside."

They crawled through it.

Fiona: "Oh, by the way... Do not even think about staring at my butt. I am wearing long pants..."

Siegfried: "Oh... Don't worry."

They continued.

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Siegfried: "Hmm?"

They crawled farther, but then they heard some laughter.

Siegfried: "Do you hear that?"

Fiona: "Yes."

She opened one of the openings.

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Siegfried: "Ugh..."

Fiona: "...What the hell..."

There were several people there.

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Siegfried: "What are they doing there?... What is down there? What are they doing?"

Fiona: "Ugh... A murder?!"

The people were injuring their hands, and there was a person tied up on the floor.

Unknown Masked Person: "Here we meet again... As you know... this is the meeting of nobles and politicians."

Fiona: "Ugh... Hmm... I understand... So many people here... This is strange."

Unknown Masked Person: "Hmm?"

Fiona: "Let's keep moving."

They continued.

Fiona: "What kind of room is this?"

Siegfried: "Let me open it."

He opened it, and they went outside.

Siegfried: "Mmmm... It smells horrible here."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

There were tied up people.

Fiona: "...Good heavens..."

She looked at the hands of one of the bodies.

Siegfried: "What is it?"

She looked more closely.

Her hands... She is missing several fingers... Also... She has wounds in areas where there are many blood vessels, around the wrist... the throat... and several other places."

Siegfried: "Why?"

Fiona: "Did you see the glasses? They are drinking their blood."

Why would anyone do that?... Why would they do something like this? They are rich people and politicians. They already have money.

Fiona: "Well... I have no idea... "

(Crash)

Fiona: "Huh."

The Finger: "Shhhhh..."

Fiona: "You?"

Siegfried: "Ugh... Who is that? Is that The Finger?"

The Finger: "You are early."

Fiona: "What kind of place is this, Finger? Why did you want either me or Sophie to come here?"

The Finger: "I think we can learn quite a lot here, right?... The door blade, the important second key... They also collect artifacts here in one of the rooms."

Fiona: "And why do you want us to help you?"

The Finger: "Hmm... Whoever finds it first gets to keep it."

Siegfried: "Oh, I see."

Fiona: "Hmm."

The Finger: "Alright then... The room is located on the upper floor... Rule number one... Nobody kills anyone."

Siegfried: "You are the one saying that?"

Fiona: "Hmm. Okay. Number two."

Siegfried: "Hm?"

The Finger: "The second rule is that we do not go together, but we move at the same time."

Siegfried: "Okay?... Is that possible?"

Fiona: "Hmm?"

The Finger: "Third rule... Do not contact anyone."

Fiona: "Wait..."

The Finger: "What is it?"

Fiona: "I want everyone to leave their devices and weapons here. How am I supposed to know that you are not lying to us?... Do not underestimate me, buddy..."

Smart move but Siegfried saw that Fiona has a Pistole still ...wish means she was still hiding one because she does not trust The Finger, of course because the finger is someone who works for money and greed for Jägers.

The Finger: "Well, well... What do you think, Siegfried?"

Siegfried: "I think... that would be fair."

The Finger: "Hahh."

He placed his weapon and his device down. Fiona did the same, and then Siegfried did as well.

Siegfried: "Good... Like this?"

The Finger: "Alright... Then let's go. At the same time, but not together... One... Two... Three."

They set off.

Fiona: "Hmm..."

Siegfried: "Can I come with you?"

The Finger: "You two can. You are on the same team."

He went to the right while they went to the left.

The Finger: "Hmm..."

He took something out of his pocket.

The Finger: "Oops."

It was a communication device.

The Finger: "I am inside."

(Meanwhile)

Siegfried: "Fiona, isn't this too dangerous?... Without devices or weapons?"

Fiona: "Don't worry..."

She opened her mouth and took something out. It was chewing gum.

Fiona: "Mmmm..."

She then took out a small device, wrapped it around the chewing gum, and placed it under her tongue.

Fiona: "If things get too dangerous... I will chew the gum a little harder. Then the device will send out our data and we will get help... The device is small."

Siegfried: "But doesn't it taste like metal?"

Fiona: "Yes... But I wrapped the device around the chewing gum so that I do not hurt my tongue."

Siegfried: "How practical... Did you come up with this trick?"

Fiona: "No. I got the trick from a movie."

Siegfried: "(Sweating)... Oh... okay."

Fiona: "Although I only read the book... Agent 84."

Siegfried: "Hmm."

They continued walking.

Siegfried: "Hmm... Could it be here?"

Fiona: "No idea."

Siegfried: "Hmm."

(Meanwhile)

The Finger: "Let's see... There is nothing to find here at the moment. This is really interesting. So many tools... I think these sharp tools... they use them to kill the victims. Hmm?... The victims are... mostly women."

(Meanwhile)

Siegfried: "The victims looked young."

Fiona: "Yes. One of them was even wearing a school skirt... That means she was a student."

Siegfried: "Why would rich people do something like this?"

Fiona: "Because they are never satisfied with what they have. The difference between a poor person and a rich person is like the difference between fruit and beer... One is healthy, the other is poisonous."

Siegfried: "You do not drink beer?"

Fiona: "No... It is unhealthy for the body. It is poison. The fact that it is treated as harmless is ridiculous. It is even more unhealthy than drugs like cannabis."

Siegfried: "You really do not like it?"

Fiona: "It tastes horrible too... I would rather drink fruit juice from Sophie... That is healthy."

Siegfried: "Okay. I like beer, apparently... At least my younger self did."

Fiona: "Well... your younger self was certainly... something special."

Siegfried: "Hmmm."

Fiona: "Hmm?... Look at these rooms."

Siegfried: "Are those paintings?"

Fiona: "Yes... But this brutality..."

Siegfried: "Hmm?"

Fiona: "Hmm."

She touched it and smelled it.

Fiona: "...It was painted with... real blood."

Siegfried: "What?"

They watched the people carefully.

Nobleman: "Hahaha... That poor thing did not last very long."

Nobleman: "Yes... Typical peasant. They should be grateful that we give them the honor of drinking their blood with our mouths. At least they die usefully."

Siegfried and Fiona looked at each other for a moment before continuing to watch. This time, they observed the people wearing black masks.

Black Masked Person: "Hmm... In my group, people think that I am against corruption."

Black Masked Person: "Hahaha... Come on... You did not even drink the blood. Why?"

Black Masked Person: "Well... I thought this was a... normal invitation. You invited me here."

Black Masked Person: "Haha. Well, we are in the same boat... But wait until you see the beautiful art."

Fiona: "Yes... I think there are about 50 people here... Politicians and nobles..."

Siegfried: "What?"

Fiona: "It seems there are almost only nobles, and only a few were wearing politicians' clothing."

Siegfried: "How can you tell?"

Fiona: "If you paid attention... there were two types of masks. One was made of pure gold, and the other was made of pure metal. I have seen those golden masks before... They are popular among nobles. The politicians mostly wore black masks, probably because it is a rule... The Finger, for example... only looked at the people with the golden masks."

Siegfried: "Oh... And he likes stealing from rich people. That makes sense..."

Fiona: "I just hope he keeps himself under control here."

Siegfried: "Mhmm."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Siegfried: "Isn't that The Finger over there, behind the nobles?"

Fiona: "Yes... That's him... Let's get out of here. There is nothing here."

Siegfried: "Only two rooms left."

They continued walking.

Black Masked Person: "I just heard something."

Nobleman: "Me too. Search the building!"

(Crash)

Siegfried: "Ugh."

Fiona: "We need to get out of here, quickly!"

Siegfried: "Okay..."

They went into the opening. Siegfried stopped for a moment.

Fiona: "Ghhh."

Fiona jumped inside.

Siegfried: "Ugh."

He went inside as well.

Siegfried: "Hahh... Hurry, let's move."

Fiona: "Yes."

They opened the door and left the castle. They hid first, then went to the car and immediately drove away.

Siegfried: "Oh... That was close. My goodness. Do you think they noticed us in the end?"

Fiona: "And all for nothing."

Siegfried: "Well... Look what I have here."

He took it out. It was... a door handle.

Fiona: "Huh... Where did you get that?"

Siegfried: "When I stopped, I found it."

Fiona: "You are a genius partner!"

Siegfried: "Thank you very much."

(Meanwhile)

The Finger: "Hahh... So all of that was for nothing... Well, at least I have them."

Nobleman: "Hahh... Please let me live."

(Splash!)

He attacked him with his bare hand.

The Finger: "This is for the girl."
