Mystery: Start with the Reader

The function of this whistle is very similar to Mr. Azik's copper whistle, it seems to have the negative effect of attracting the dead...

Abner, who opened his pure white eyes, carefully looked at the copper whistle before finally taking it.

Jane saw Abner accepting her gift, and the face made of black mist showed a "happy" look again, and then she raised her skirt, saluted, and said goodbye:

"I'm running out of time, I have to leave now... I wish you a good night's sleep, Abner."

Her voice became lower and lower, and the figure made of black mist slowly retracted into the wall.

"I wish you a safe journey." Abner put his hands on his chest and smiled back.

Soon, the light of the gas lamp suddenly brightened, and all the dark greenness disappeared without a trace.

Abner, who had kept his pure white eyes open all the time, stared blankly at this change, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, but he sighed in his heart: "I didn't learn... In addition to the magical item in Jane's mouth, I should have borrowed some kind of magic item." The power of the dead."

Then, after thinking for a while, he took out the cello box with the "Sword of Dawn" sealed on it from the cabinet in the bedroom.

When the "Sword of Dawn" is not in use, it needs to be sealed with the power of "Reaper" or "Darkness". Therefore, every once in a while, Abner has to hold a ceremony again to reset the runes inside the box.

But now that I have the "Necronomicon", I can change my thinking...

While thinking this way in his heart, Abner carved the inscriptions on the inside of the box again, placed the Necronomicon in the center of those inscriptions, and finally closed the lid of the box.

In this way, the two items can restrain each other and seal each other...

After sealing the entire box with spirituality, Abner nodded in satisfaction.

After doing this, he originally wanted to pray to Mr. Fool and ask whether Jane's statement that the "Black Tulip" would pass by the Pulitzer Sea in the early morning of tomorrow was true.

——It's not that you don't trust Jane, but that since you want to report it, you must verify the authenticity of the matter, otherwise, won't it hurt the friend who sent the news?

But he looked at the sky and decided to wait a few hours until dawn. If you disturb Mister Fool at this time, you may encounter the dreaded "wake up gas".

But don't disturb "The Fool", some other preparations still need to be done.

After Abner put on his clothes and packed his commonly used magical items and spells, he opened the door and went downstairs lightly.

It wasn't until then that he realized that Jane's arrival just now hadn't alarmed the teacher. Obviously, her black mist state also had a "secret" effect!

Is it the effect of the magical item in her mouth, or the specialness of the undead that assisted her spirit body to fly so far?

With this question in mind, Abner left the Essinger Detective Agency, and opened the "Pure White Eye" to simulate the "flying" ability, and flew to the bridge area by night.

Since it is necessary to report to the military, there must be a "reasonable" source of information... and the organization colluding with "Admiral Hell" is undoubtedly the Lingjiao...

Of course Abner can't offend the Spiritual Cult, but the "Eternal Life Society", a branch of the Spiritual Cult, can more or less have something to do with the "Admiral of Hell", so it naturally becomes a good target.

Moreover, the Eternal Life Society had a feud with Abner before, and his reputation as a "heroic detective" was initially achieved by stepping on the "Black Skull Party" under the "Eternal Life Society"—although he did not voluntarily.

But the "Society of Eternal Life" obviously hated him to the bone. If he hadn't been in the limelight and it was difficult to strike, Abner might have already been attacked.

And Abner didn't take action to eradicate them first, because he had previously noticed that the Church of Storms might be staring at this organization.

However, now the "Punishers" who were wounded, dead, and still active were all tracking down the whereabouts of the secret puppet master who killed Robert, which happened to be convenient for him.

...

79 Dirham Street, Backlund Bridge Area.

Maybe the major churches haven't found out the stronghold of the "Eternal Life Society", but Abner, who has read the original book, remembers it clearly. After all, he is deeply impressed by this organization that was sent to heaven by Klein with a few matches.

Standing in the shadow near the hut near the pier, Abner reached out his hand and twisted out a handful of fluorescent powder from his secret pocket, and sprinkled it on himself in conjunction with the spell.

Immediately afterwards, he simulated the witch's "invisibility" ability, the figure disappeared inch by inch visible to the naked eye, and the outline was completely erased by an eraser as if drawn by a pencil.

This is an "assassin" technique he learned from Yu Chest when he went back yesterday, which can effectively improve the effect of "invisibility".

After disappearing, he quietly came to the main door of the house, simulating the ability to "open the door" and directly passed through the door and entered the room.

There were not many people in the room, only three, all of them were of the distinctive race in the Southern Continent, but although these three people were all very muscular, they didn't seem to be Extraordinary.

Of course, Abner didn't see this. He didn't have this ability, but read the superficial memories of the three of them through "mind reading", and then came to a conclusion through analysis.

Only ordinary people here? In this case, the "information" obtained is not convincing...

Just when Abner was in a bit of trouble, he heard a man wearing only a white vest complained among the three: "The man brought back by Lord Godops has really hard bones. It's been nearly a quarter of an hour. Haven't revealed the mastermind behind the scenes yet?"

The bald man sitting opposite the man in the white vest replied with a smile: "It should be soon, I haven't seen anyone who can last more than half an hour under the hands of Lima and Godops. I guess They'll be coming up from the ground soon."

"I don't know who that Mr. Aubrey is, but he was personally protected by Lord Godops... If it wasn't for Lord Godops, he would probably have been assassinated by that person tonight." The man in the white vest said with emotion said a word.

It turned out that he was interrogating an assassin in the basement... Abner was stunned when he heard this, and was about to look for the entrance to the basement, but saw the third man who had not spoken all this time stand up and walk towards the wine barrel by the kitchen.

"What are you going to do, Gordon?" asked the bald man strangely.

The man named Gordon said without looking back: "It's almost 2 o'clock, I have to send three glasses of iced Southwell beer down, this is what Master Lima ordered."

The bald man let out an "oh" at first, until the one named Gordon disappeared into the kitchen, and then spat in a low voice: "Damn, what a bitch! I think I'm superior to others if I saved Lord Lima's thigh!"

"That's right!" The man in the white vest also angrily echoed.

Abner ignored the two men, who were clearly jealous, and instead slipped into the kitchen, watching Gordon thoughtfully as he poured the beer into the glass.

When he went to get ice cubes from the ice cellar, Abner quickly stepped forward, took out three withered yellow hairs that were sealed with spirituality from his pocket, and then put these hairs into the wine glass one by one.

This is the hair that Judy gave him at the beginning, claiming that it can poison an adult curly-haired baboon in a few seconds...

That hair melted in wine without any trace remaining.

Abner nodded in satisfaction when he saw this, and thought: It seems that what Judy said is "difficult to detect even a demigod" is not completely exaggerated. means to detect problems.

At this time, Gordon returned to the kitchen, put ice cubes into the wine glass, waited for nearly two minutes, and then used the tray to pick up three glasses of Southwell beer, went to the closet, and tapped it a few times A wooden board next to it.

Soon, the closet was pushed open from the inside, and a man with a tan complexion and short black curly hair appeared at the entrance of the underground passage.

He gave Gordon a critical look, then nodded, took the tray of wine glasses, and closed the closet again.

Abner did not rush to follow, but turned around, simulated the ability of "Nightmare", pulled three ordinary people in the house, including Gordon, into a dream, and then calmly ended their lives with a knife .

These are villains who will be identified by Klein in the future, and their hands are full of the blood of innocent people, so Abner did not hesitate to kill them.

After using the "witch"'s "black flame" to completely burn them to ashes, Abner came to the closet, used the "open door" ability to pass through, and entered the basement.

This basement is not big, about the size of the house that Abner rented in the East District, so he saw three Beyonders lying on the ground very peacefully at a glance—if their Beyonder characteristics hadn't been separated out, Abner Buner thought they were just asleep.

And the young man who was tied to an X-frame and tortured to the point where he was almost invisible.

"Atris?!"
