Mystery: Start with the Reader

"This is the captain of the special mission 'Desolator' team, His Excellency the 'Guardian' Lech Arsenov of Sequence 5." Bishop Utravsky said, pointing to the tall figure praying devoutly in front of the holy emblem of the mother.

Hearing the introduction of himself, the "Giant" captain also stood up, lowered his head and nodded to Abner, and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Blaine."

"It's also an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Arsenov." Abner took off his hat and saluted. Since Bishop Utravsky called him "Your Excellency", this person should be a senior deacon of the Church of the Mother Earth. The label "Nighthawk" probably has the same weight as the "Goddess Sword". There may even be a relic that fits him in that huge chest behind him.

Well, a Sequence 5 warrior who has contracted a sacred object and seems to be a battle-hardened and experienced warrior; a Viscount of the blood clan who may have lived for hundreds of years and accumulated an unknown amount of mystic knowledge, the "Crimson Scholar" of Sequence 5 "; a heir of two saints, a Sequence 6 "biologist" who doesn't know how many good things are on his body...

The standard of this team is so high! Does the Church of the Mother Earth attach so much importance to that polluted believer?

Abner was a little speechless when he thought of this, since in the original book, the Church of Evernight dealt with Lanerus, who had the divinity of the real creator, and the lineup they sent was probably not as good.

However, he quickly turned his attention to Miss Judy Loreto, thinking that the reason why he came to such a high-standard team might be because it happened to be the team that this young lady was in.

After all, she is the daughter of a saint of the church, so it is reasonable to join a stronger team.

While Abner was smiling and thinking wildly, the "Giant" captain Arsenov asked, "Mr. Bryan, did you find anything else in Leonardo's house before? Are you How can we tell that he may have become a witch's promotion ceremony?"

Abner thought for a while, and felt that this was not a secret, so he replied: "When I 'backtracked' the scene in his bedroom, I saw a picture of a woman who was suspected of being a witch making out with him, plus Utraves Bishop Ji is very familiar with the promotion ceremony of the Witch of Pain, so he made a guess about it."

"That's it..." Captain Arsenov nodded slightly, then looked at his team member Karen, who immediately understood, and after pondering for a moment, asked Abner: "So, do you know the recent Backlund? Where are many people missing?"

"There are countless cases of missing persons in Backlund..." Because the king personally participated in the abduction and trafficking of his own people behind the scenes.

Of course, Abner didn't say the second half of the sentence, but asked in confusion, "Why did you inquire about this?"

"Because that heretic has become a ritual for the promotion of the witch, he probably won't survive. And because of the pollution, he is likely to be alienated into a terrifying monster or a sealed item." The brunette girl Judy spoke first.

"Also, I guess that the alienated monster will definitely need a lot of flesh and blood... But the major churches have not reported this situation so far, which means that someone is secretly raising it! Well, it is probably the witch." Following the girl's answer, Karen added.

"I see. No wonder you have to ask where people have disappeared recently... Wait." Speaking of this, Abner suddenly remembered the result of the psychic to Moreira last night, as if the service company was dealing with a certain big person population.

He subconsciously thought that this was also part of George III's ascension ceremony or a smoke bomb, but he overlooked one point. Compared with other population trades, this trade only started recently. And the starting time is very close to the time when Dr. Leonardo disappeared.

Seeing that Abner was deep in thought, Captain Arsenov asked gently: "Mr. Blaine, have you thought of any new clues?"

Abner came back to his senses after hearing the words,

Organized the language, and roughly shared the results of the psychic and backtracking last night with the "Desolate Ones" present, and finally said: "I guess that the human trafficking conducted by this company controlled by the Eternal Life Society may have nothing to do with it." The Witch, who appears to have seduced an officer, is perfectly capable of doing so."

Captain Arsenov closed his eyes and pondered for a while, finally nodded and approved Abner's deduction, so he asked again: "Mr. Bryan, can you take us to that warehouse to investigate? If the polluted monsters provide food, then there must be something left there."

Abner didn't know the location of the warehouse yet, so he replied. "My companion is already sending people to investigate the location of the warehouse. There should be news within a day or two."

Captain Arsenov frowned when he heard this answer, and suddenly asked, "Is the company controlled by the Eternal Life in the dock area?"

"That's right." Abner didn't understand what the other party meant, so he nodded first.

"Then it's no problem." Arsenov breathed a sigh of relief, and said to his team members: "Judy, Karen, you go with this Mr. Blaine...my body type is not suitable for action during the day. "

"Yes, Captain." The two replied briskly.

They want to go directly to the door to arrest people, and then torture the rhythm of extorting confessions...

At this time, Abner roughly guessed what the other party was going to do, and couldn't help being dumbfounded at the official team's behavior.

"The dock area is the site of the Lord of Storms and the God of Steam and Machinery, and we have reported to these two churches before entering Backlund. Heart' will not interfere with our law enforcement." Seeing Abner's astonishment, Judy explained with a smile.

After hearing what she said, Abner had to say that although this method is simple and crude, it is more efficient and quicker. However, it is limited to the government and some organizations that are not afraid of tracing.

The reason why he and Xio didn't think about doing this, and they found someone to do the investigation by themselves, was because even if they sneaked into that company and caught the leader, it would be difficult to wipe out the entire Eternal Life Society, and they lacked the means to erase memories . If they are reported afterwards, their act of invading a legal enterprise with extraordinary ability will also face the scrutiny of the official extraordinary, which is simply not worth the loss.

Moreover, even if they were all silenced, then the trouble would be even greater, and the officials would not let him and Xio go just because they wanted to uphold justice.

As for killing Moreira, why is it okay? That's because the other party committed a crime first and killed to save the hostages, which can be covered up by Xio's identity as an MI9 agent.

...

The headquarters of Wensen Labor and Service Company located in the wharf area is a three-story building. It is not obvious from the outside, but the interior decoration is very elegant, not much worse than some high-end clubs and clubs in the Jowood area.

Karen glanced at the signboard in front of the building, then pushed open the door and walked in without haste.

Abner looked at it in a daze, thinking: Is this called infiltration? Is there such an arrogant infiltration?

However, before he could figure out why, he suddenly felt dizzy in his brain, as if he might pass out at any time.

At this moment, he smelled an extremely pungent smell again, and he was jolted awake completely. But the irritating smell still didn't dissipate, hovering under his nose.

Abner looked down subconsciously, and saw Judy holding up a packet of medicinal herbs to his nose, looking at him with a smile.

"This is... the sleeping potion?" Abner shook his head and asked with a headache.

"Before Karen became a 'Crimson Scholar', he was a 'Professor of Potions' for more than a hundred years. Who knows what strange medicine he developed? If I were not a 'biologist', I would have the same function The ability of herbs, we both have to sleep until he returns to wake up." Judy is very familiar with her companion's behavior, so she is well prepared.

If you don't have a solution, I'm afraid he won't handle things so violently...

Just as Abner complained in his heart, he saw Karen frowning and pushed the door and came out.

"How is it?" Judy asked worriedly seeing Karen's complexion.

"That witch is very cautious. All the relevant personnel have been tampered with memory, and the warehouse has been completely erased... The only good news is that the last batch of ordinary people kidnapped by this service company have not had time to transfer Go to the warehouse, and it’s still locked in the company’s basement.” Karen was rarely serious, and he felt that the opponent of this mission should be very difficult, so after thinking for a while, he said to the brown-haired girl:

"Judy, you go to contact the 'Mechanical Heart' and ask them to help save people. I have to go back and talk to the captain about the witch as soon as possible. If Backlund doesn't leave, he obviously has bigger plans. As for the credit for finding these kidnapped people..."

Having said that, he turned his attention to Abner again, his face no longer serious, and he smiled and said, "The credit will be left to you, Detective Brain! The young detective broke into the tiger's den alone, and the lonely hero rescued many young girls... this Great title, isn't it?"

ah? This title is too "Rosell"!

Abner was embarrassed when he heard this, and didn't know what to say.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days later, the news headline that Karen joked about was actually adopted by the major newspapers in Backlund. The "Daily Observer" even took out an entire page to report on this legendary story. Now the people on the street are not To cast aside the meanness and shamelessness of the people from the southern continent is to praise Abner's bravery.

This made Abner dare not go out for two days. He just stayed at home and analyzed the teacher's "2-081" until Miss Hugh came to the door on Monday morning.

"You are famous now. Even Miss Audrey has seen the report and is still asking about you from Fors." Xio said with a smile and rolled his eyes.

Because Abner had previously informed her that there was no need to continue searching for the warehouse, she knew the ins and outs on the day of the incident, and even knew that the so-called "heroic deeds" were actually placed on Abner by the "Desolate Man".

"I have enough hatred. Not only that witch, but also people from the Spiritual Cult will trouble me." Abner glanced vaguely at the tree branches outside the window when he said this, and there was an ordinary human there. A bird with silvery-white feathers that can't be seen at all is perched.

Hugh and Abner chatted and laughed a few more times before asking him, "By the way, have you heard of Roselvin?"

Abner was taken aback when he heard the words, he just wanted to forge a page for the afternoon Tarot meeting, but Hugh actually asked about this first.

"I know, you asked Roselvin what you want to do?" Abner asked calmly.

"Miss Audrey likes to collect Roselvin's manuscripts, let Forsi and I pay attention... I want to ask if you have any here." Xio replied casually.

Audrey is trying to buy a diary from Fors and Xio for Mister Fool? This... this may be an opportunity. I can write a few to Hugh in the future, and let her go to Audrey to earn some pocket money.

And the most important thing is that some important intelligence information can't always flow out of the "diary" in my hand. If I distribute some of it to Audrey, it will be more acceptable to Klein.
