"Eh? This scent…" Detective Dale paused his conversation with the bearded

Suddenly his face turned and he shouted, "Everyone get out! Don't stay here!"

Everyone else wasn't clear what had happened, but out of their trust toward the famous detective, they instantly ran out of the castle

Garen did the saed a few strides before all of a sudden he saw stars

"Hehe…"

Subtle laughter could vaguely be heard co from behind him

His scalp went numb He instantly remembered the tihter

He was shocked He looked at his surroundings, but everyone who had been around hier there He was the only one left in the castle An invisible person see his hand and swiftly running forward

The gates crashed open Garen felt dizzy and lost his balance, falling on his face onto the grass In the cool wet grass, a gust of fresh air went into his nostrils, waking hiroup of people appeared on the grass lawn around hieant from earlier, the expert, a few policele, Black Panther and the others Cynthia and Grace lay by his side They looked dizzy

"That was close!" Detective Dale Quicksilver stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead He warily turned to look at Silversilk Castle "I kept thinking that scent was naturally occurring, but now it seems that someone must have intentionally released it This time there were more of us, so they increased the concentration That's how everyone eant Rio stood up fro Everyone else followed suit Their gaze turned to the sole Dale Quicksilver

He took a deep breath, looked at everyone around him, and said word by word

"Mindtwister Vine This scent is the hallucinogenic poisonous gas naturally released by the Mindtwister Vine after itthe books It can induce hallucinations of loneliness and fear The toxic gas released by this type of vine is usually extremely mild, imperceptible to huuish it"

"Mindtwister Vine…" Garen's eyes narrowed He recalled being injured after being pushed out the first floor hen he first visited Silversilk Castle "Looks like someone probably used the scent of Mindtwister Vine to hypnotize e to push le and Dale were probably hallucinating fro us not to see each other after we entered the rooether"

"If that's the case, then so the tunnel?" the sergeant asked in a hushed tone

Dale Quicksilver nodded and started discussing the strategies with the sergeant and the booby trap expert

On Garen's side, Cynthia and Grace had both regained consciousness Cynthia was in fact the one who dragged Garen out of the castle earlier

"If not for enic poisons, I probably wouldn't have been able to drag you out of there" She s trouble if not for od you were there," Garen said speechlessly But it was true, Cynthia had played a significant role ever since she came If not for her, Garen would have presue to run out of the castle in tiroup of people stood at the gates but didn't dare to enter They h the gates No one dared to rush in there, in case they suffered the same fate as the two of them

"Quick, look over there!" a police at the roof of the second and highest floor
