"Where on earth should I begin?"
Irene talked to herself. She looked a little confused. The injuries on her body were still aching, causing her thinking to stagnate.
"I am Irene Adler, formerly of the Iron Law Bureau, responsible for external espionage operations."
Irene introduced herself again. As she spoke, she was paying attention to the expressions of the people around her, especially Hebod's.
"The information you received is similar to what I wanted to say, right? I deliberately approached Ivar, captured him, and then had him captured by the Iron Law Bureau."
She said it lightly, an attitude that angered Heybod.
"Then why did you come to me?" Lorenzo asked, "Shouldn't you stay away? Why are you being hunted by the Iron Law Bureau?"
"Because I know too much, Mr. Holmes, the details of the entire operation, and some deeper secrets. I know too much."
Irene's eyes dimmed.
"After the operation was successful, I returned to Gaul-Naro. When I reconnected with the headquarters, I felt uneasy... The headquarters had changed. During the time I was on the mission, they actually supported a new religion called Orthodoxy. I investigated it and discovered the inside story.
Religion is just a cover, they seem to be secretly organizing an army."
"The choir," said Lorenzo.
"You know all this?" Irene looked at Lorenzo with some surprise.
"I just found out about it too. So what? You violated the rules and are being hunted?" Lorenzo asked.
"That's about it, so curiosity can kill you sometimes."
Irene shrugged helplessly, and the movement pulled the wound, causing her to gasp in pain.
Lorenzo didn't say anything else. He didn't believe Irene, at least not completely. At the same time, Lorenzo began to understand the magic that Hebode talked about.
Although the meeting was not long, Lorenzo had already sensed Irene's weirdness. Even though the situation was so bad, she still looked calm and composed, as if everything was within her plan.
"What do you know about choirs?" inquired Lorenzo.
Irene's expression changed, and she leaned forward, looking carefully at Lorenzo's face until she could see her own reflection in his gray-blue eyes.
She looked like she was teasing a puppy, she said.
"Oh, you also want to know those things. Sure enough, you have connections with them."
"What's the meaning?"
"Aren't you curious about how I found you? It was a list. Well, it's not really a list. There was only your name on it." Irene shrank back.
“I’m a spy, an agent, and a killer. I’m good at many things that ordinary people are not good at. I’m afraid of the changes in the Iron Law Bureau. This is a very powerful secret organization, but I always feel that during the time I was away, it has been controlled by another person... another existence that I can’t describe.
I wanted to know why, so I investigated further and found a lot of interesting things. It was these interesting things that led me to my death. But just when I was in despair, a turning point came. "
