Chapter 71: How Bold

"Sherlock... " Pairs of eyes, floating in the dark castle hall, opened.

They scanned the hall and finally focused on the extinguished oil lamp that had been smashed to pieces on the ground.

"Its life lamp has been extinguished... "

"What happened?! " Someone asked.

"Sherlock... didn't he go after the escaped Egyptian Cat Goddess? " A ragged-looking marionette doll appeared on one of the chairs in the hall.

The puppet's mouth opened and closed, emitting a piercing sound. "Hasn't that cat's power been exhausted? "

"We even cut off the Egyptians' sacrifice to it... "
