Mystery: Start with the Reader

Intis, Trier. \u003c/p\u003e

Abner, who had just returned to reality from above the gray fog, lay on the sofa of his mansion and played with the necklace composed of five bright gems in series for a while, then casually put it aside. \u003c/p\u003e

This necklace was obviously the "Fallen Morning Star" that had been lost. After a year, Mr. "Fool" finally found it and solemnly handed it back to Mr. "Tower" before the beginning of the small meeting after the Tarot meeting. \u003c/p\u003e

To be honest, this necklace is dispensable to Abner today, but it is a good choice to give it to a friend, such as Fanny, who has relatively simple means. \u003c/p\u003e

"Well, the appointment with Klein and the 'Pale Admiral' Maria is in the middle of the night. There is still enough time to go and see the 'Saint of Toulon'."\u003c/p\u003e

Thinking of this, Abner grabbed the "Fallen Morning Star" again, and then did not choose to teleport. Instead, he asked the butler to arrange a carriage, and then rushed to the Surrey family villa. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

At the same time, in a train station in a certain city in East Balam, a monster-like steam locomotive puffed out smoke, dragged its long body, and drove into the platform, getting slower and slower. \u003c/p\u003e

A man with dark brown skin, soft contours and a small red bump on the side of his face boarded the carriage from the platform shortly after the train stopped. \u003c/p\u003e

With his head lowered and his hand on his hat, he passed quickly and headed straight for the head of the train. \u003c/p\u003e

The man immediately knocked on the isolation door, stepped into the cab, and said to the conductor:\u003c/p\u003e

"All the conductors have been replaced by our people, and the bridge in front will be the place where sacrifices are held."\u003c/p\u003e

The train conductor with a thick beard nodded and said:\u003c/p\u003e

"May God be satisfied with this cart of sacrifices.\u003c/p\u003e

"May we have eternal life in her kingdom."\u003c/p\u003e

However, at this moment, a voice sounded faintly behind them: "I will send you to see your god right now."\u003c/p\u003e

"Who?!" The man with red and swollen faces and the train conductor turned their heads at the same time, but I don't know if they used too much force, but their heads turned around on their necks for more than ten times before they stopped...\u003c/p\u003e

Looking at the train conductor and the man who stood up, put their heads back in place, and saluted him, Alvin nodded casually and disappeared. \u003c/p\u003e

——This is the application of "sleight of hand" related abilities at the angel level. \u003c/p\u003e

The reason why Abner asked Alvin to go to the Southern Continent was because he "insighted" that even if he had his own "butterfly", the "train sacrifice" incident in the original work would still happen, and even happened a few years earlier. sky. \u003c/p\u003e

But Klein, who was supposed to prevent this incident, was not in the Southern Continent, so he had to take matters into his own hands to solve the problem. \u003c/p\u003e

"Karaman died in the battle before I became a demigod. I wonder who the organizer of this sacrifice was?"\u003c/p\u003e

\u003ca id="wzsy" href=";\u003e"The Point Guard is Here"\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e

As his thoughts turned, Alvin walked out of the spirit world and landed directly in a luxurious room in a hotel. \u003c/p\u003e

But the cultists gathered in the room turned a blind eye to his arrival. Instead, they lowered their heads, raised their hands, and knelt down in front of a rag doll in a praying posture. \u003c/p\u003e

Two or three seconds later, the rag doll's eyes, which had no energy at all and could not move, looked at the area that the crimson moonlight could not reach. Just as it was about to open its tongue-less mouth, it made a sound that did not belong to this "body". The environment was suddenly shrouded in "darkness", and silence instantly became the only "theme" in the entire room. \u003c/p\u003e

The doll originally wanted to attract the power and get rid of the "darkness", but after noticing Alvin's aura, it suddenly stopped trying.\u003c/p\u003e

And the power that was about to come also disappeared without a trace. \u003c/p\u003e

"Running so fast!" Alvin, also known as Abner, cursed secretly, then removed the power of "darkness" and began to "divide" the doll's past. \u003c/p\u003e

But soon, he frowned, because this doll involved a very high level of power, and even an angel-level "astrology" couldn't get many results. \u003c/p\u003e

"But I still 'saw' some clues...\u003c/p\u003e

"For example, the existence that just wanted to use the rag doll to come to the world should be the 'prisoner'!\u003c/p\u003e

"The people of the 'Rose School' are actually being controlled by the 'Red Moon'... Is there really something wrong with the 'Mother Tree of Desire'?\u003c/p\u003e

"Or are the two foreign gods working together?"\u003c/p\u003e

After thinking about it, Alvin put away the rag doll and planned to hand it over to Abner when he and Klein met. \u003c/p\u003e

——Exploring the source of power is very dangerous, so let Klein do it... He is relatively familiar with this "business" and is "professional"! \u003c/p\u003e

After killing all the cultists, Alvin also left here. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

In an unknown valley, a huge tree that seemed to have been poured with oil was roaring in pain. \u003c/p\u003e

The bloodshot eyes rolling on her arms that protrude with various strange things sometimes turn black and sometimes blood red, which is very strange. \u003c/p\u003e

And in its belly that looks like a tree trunk, there seems to be a red full moon embedded in it! \u003c/p\u003e

The moonlight dispersed and enveloped the "god", and her pain gradually disappeared, but at the same time, the position of the "full moon" swelled little by little, as if it was filled with liquid, and seemed to be pregnant with something. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

Sea of ​​mist, on board the Pale Saint. \u003c/p\u003e

"Pale Admiral" Maria stood on the deck of the bow of the ship holding her long sword, looking at the sunset that was about to set below the sea level, not knowing what she was thinking. \u003c/p\u003e

——There is a time difference between the Misty Sea and East Balam. \u003c/p\u003e

At this time, her first mate Kent came over. This young man with slightly curly brown hair bowed and reported: "Captain, we are about to approach Lars Port."\u003c/p\u003e

Lars Port is a private port on a small island not too far from the west coast of Intis, but not too close either. It is not under official jurisdiction. \u003c/p\u003e

But this does not mean that this port town is a chaotic pirate paradise. \u003c/p\u003e

On the contrary, because the fleet led by the famous "Ms. Long Wei" currently occupies this port, so as her stronghold, the order here is actually much stronger than that of many cities on land. \u003c/p\u003e

The meeting place agreed upon by Maria and Klein was in a hotel in this port town. \u003c/p\u003e

"Don't get close to the port. Just drop anchor in a remote area of ​​the open sea. I'll take the boat to Lars alone." Maria ordered expressionlessly. \u003c/p\u003e

"Yes!"\u003c/p\u003e

Because the "Pale Lady" was too eye-catching and would surely cause chaos when entering the port, Kent initially felt that there was nothing wrong with the captain's decision. \u003c/p\u003e

But he reacted immediately and said in surprise: "Captain, you want to go to Lars by yourself?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Yes, I'm going to meet someone, so it's not convenient to take you with me." Maria nodded. \u003c/p\u003e

Kent frowned and said, "Then you'd better disguise yourself... After all, your current image is so 'classic' that it's hard not to be recognized."\u003c/p\u003e

Maria shook her head and said: "It's not necessary."\u003c/p\u003e

As a "haunted spirit", it is easy for her not to let ordinary people see her. \u003c/p\u003e

Kent, who knew that the captain would not change his decision, did not persuade him much. After only a few words of advice, he returned to his post. \u003c/p\u003e

But at this time, Maria seemed to have thought of something, stopped him, and asked hesitantly:\u003c/p\u003e

"If one day you find that the nature and behavior of the people you know are completely different from what you originally knew... would you be able to accept it?"\u003c/p\u003e
