Mystery: Start with the Reader

Brave Bar, Kaspers limped across the bar and into the bar next to the kitchen. Then he suddenly stopped, knocked lightly on a rather hidden door, and waited for permission before pushing the door open and entering.

It was a card room with a dozen people playing poker.

Seeing Kaspers come in, a man in a white shirt and black vest stood up slowly, while the other players who were playing cards stopped, and no one made a sound. This is Maric of Temperance and the corpses he manipulates.

Even though it wasn't the first time Kaspers had seen a similar scene, his scalp was still numb. He swallowed and said, "Mr. Maric, there is news about the Jason you are looking for. Several people were killed in the Wood area and a friend of mine told me that the police have referred the case to the Punisher Squad."

The pale Maliqi nodded upon hearing the words, and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Someone has been missing since last week. It wasn't until noon today that detectives helped the police find an alley full of broken human tissues, and then the case was transferred to the punisher." Caspers seemed to know the inside story in detail. , After telling it to Maric one by one, he said goodbye and left.

After Kaspers left, the figure of the resentful Miss Sharon suddenly appeared beside Maric. She held her right cheek with her hand and said expressionlessly, "What do you think, Maric?"

"Jason may have been injured too badly in the previous encounter, and he couldn't control his desire to eat human flesh and blood." Maric also said plainly. Although he used 'possible', his tone was very certain.

"Even if he wasn't injured, he never controlled his desire. The injury just made him 'hungry' faster." Sharon, who had a pale but delicate face, spoke very firmly.

"Although the indulgent people act recklessly, they are not lunatics or fools. Since Jason dared to commit crimes in the Jowood District, it means that he is sure to escape the Punisher and us!" Maric calmly analyzed .

"I'll go to the Jowood area next, and follow the Punisher." Miss Sharron's body gradually disappeared, and she said in an unreal voice.

"You have to be careful, the captain of Backlund's Punisher team has contracted the sacred artifact...and Jason may have called for help." Maric warned against the empty air.

"I see!" The misty voice came back from nowhere.

...

On Saturday morning, because the abandoned manor in the northern suburbs had been sold, and Miss Wraith might still live there, Abner and Xio didn't dare to practice guns there again.

However, because Abner had helped the police solve two disappearance cases before, and gained some face from Sheriff Farthing, he was qualified to borrow the police officer's shooting range.

It was the stinky police officer Ai Tris who received them and took them to the underground shooting range of the police station.

"Who is this lady? Is it your betrothal? Why did you bring her here?" Aitris looked at Hugh who was following Abner, and asked strangely. He had never seen a girl come to shoot with a girl before.

"She's my shooting and fighting instructor!" Abner replied, glancing at him. At the same time, he was keenly aware that the second-generation policeman was not in good spirits, and he didn't need to be beaten so much when he spoke.

"Oh, you still find excuses to go on a date!" Ai Triss didn't believe it at all, but fortunately he was really not in a good mood today, otherwise he might be full of coquettish words right now.

There is no need to go into details about the process of practicing shooting afterwards, but Ms. Hugh was happier because she was finally not required to pay for the practice rounds when she was shooting targets at the police station.

In the following fighting training, Abner asked Xio about the usage of the long sword. Although Xio is not very proficient in swordsmanship, he still knows the basics of using a sword. After all, it is also a part of knight training.

Time quickly slipped away as Abner swung his sword again and again.

At noon, after saying goodbye to Hugh, Abner stopped by Grant Clothing Store.

Now that the investigation had a 'result', he naturally had to tell Jane.

When Jane saw Abner coming to her, she naturally knew that the other party had something to say. It was inconvenient to be in the store, so he immediately took Abner to a nearby coffee shop.

"Abner, is there any result?" Jane asked nervously.

"Well, your father didn't go out to have an affair... He just went to do volunteer work..." Abner replied, considering his words. In a sense, going to collect the corpse is considered a volunteer job, and he didn't lie.

"Volunteer work? In the middle of the night?" Jane couldn't believe it, and even complained directly, "Don't tell me that the goal of volunteer work is to comfort empty single women!"

This slot is really sharp! Abner slandered, but fortunately he had already thought up his words, and calmly said: "He is going to help the poor in the Eastern District, trying to help them find a place to live." Although it was after his death.

"Then why did you go at night?" Jane was still puzzled.

"Because only those who are still homeless at night and can only wander are the most in need of help!" Abner replied.

"It turned out to be like this... That's why I blamed him wrong! No wonder he said today that he wanted to rent some cars to use at night when he was busy opening a branch... I thought it was for his mistress!" Jane was still very upset. Those who trusted Abner, or in other words, didn't want their life to change from the bottom of their hearts, so they immediately believed that her father hadn't cheated.

After solving Jane's commission, Abner immediately devoted himself to reading and learning various knowledge.

Time passed quickly, and it was June 12th in a blink of an eye.

It was a Tuesday, and Abner was reading in the public library as usual in the morning. What he held in his hand today was "Apocalypse of the Night". Although he was already considered a follower of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, in Ruen, he had to know the teachings of the Goddess.

"The Creator woke up from the chaos, broke the darkness, and created the first ray of light. He himself completely integrated into the universe and transformed himself into all things. His body became the earth and the stars. One of his eyes became the sun and one As a red moon, part of His blood gallops into the sea and rivers, nourishing and nurturing life..."

"His lungs evolved into an elf; his heart into a giant; his liver into a treant; his head into a dragon; his kidneys into a feathered snake; his hair into a phoenix; his ears into It evolved into a demon wolf; his mouth and teeth evolved into different species; his remaining body fluids evolved into sea monsters, the essence of which was Naga; his stomach, his small and large intestines, and the evil parts of his body evolved into demons, evil The spirit and all kinds of unknown evil exist, and his spirit turns into the eternal blazing sun, the lord of the storm, the god of knowledge and wisdom..."

When Abner saw this, what he thought in his heart was: since everything in this world is evolved from the original creator, it means that the source of everything will point to him! So, if I have accumulated enough pre-knowledge, after the pure white eye's analytical ability becomes stronger and stronger in the future, will I see that everything can be analyzed back to the original person?

As soon as he thought of this, Abner's pure white eyes suddenly opened spontaneously, and his body and mind entered a strange state, and the sound of illusory shattering suddenly sounded in his ears.

He was stunned to find that something seemed to be dissolving in his body, and it was merging with his own spirit under the action of the pure white eyes.

This is an indescribably unique feeling, and Abner half closed his eyes, quietly experiencing it.

At this moment, he didn't need anyone to explain, he knew that the reader's potion had been completely digested.

"Two weeks!" murmured Abner.

...

At the same time, a huge battle is taking place in the southwest of the Jowood area, but the impact has not spread at all.

This is a battle between the Punisher and the Rose School of Indulgence.

Running ahead is Jason, the living corpse of the indulgent faction. There are a few inconspicuous black spots on his face, which seem to be the marks left after the rotten wound has healed. The malice in his eyes is so solid that it can stop a child from crying , completely undisguised, not suppressed.

He was faster than a steam train at its peak, and with a whoosh, he crossed a block. It's a pity that although his speed is fast, the vicinity seems to be completely blocked by a powerful force, even isolated from reality, making it impossible for him to escape the pursuit of the two substitutes behind him!

Those are two Wind Blessed Ones who were surrounded by the storm and flew in mid-air!

Seeing several more wind blades hitting him, Jason gritted his teeth and walked around desperately, trying to find a loophole to block the power. The healed black spot on his face has swelled translucent at some point, as if some rotten liquid is about to drip out.

Wherever he passed, the puddles on the ground and the liquid in the soil quickly condensed hoarfrost, freezing inch by inch. The leaves on the side of the road also withered instantly, rotting and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye in the process of slowly falling.

Just after Jason braced the wind blade and went around the entire range of activities, he finally found a loophole in the blocking power. He was overjoyed, and used all his strength to tear open a hole in that loophole, and was about to jump out and escape. But what he didn't see was the sneer on the faces of the two Wind Blessed Ones in the sky.

Sure enough, a silver-white electric light fell from the sky in an instant, hitting Jason's body, smashing a large piece of his seemingly rotten corpse! Just one blow left him seriously injured.

"Although it is indeed a loophole, it is also a pre-set trap..." Jason, who was struck by lightning and fell to the ground, suddenly realized the key.

Seeing that the ambush was successful, the two Wind Blessed Ones were about to go up to make up the knife. But at this moment, a werewolf suddenly came in through the loophole. It picked up Jason, turned around and fled, ignoring the furious attacks of the Punishers, which hit it with a speed that was unmatched.

The flying speed of the senders was relatively not that fast, so they had to look at the direction it was escaping with hatred.

At this time, the invisible barriers around the block quietly shattered, the frozen puddles and withered and rotten leaves no longer existed, and everything returned to its original state.

"Captain, I'm sorry, we let them run away..." The two Wind Blessed Ones said a little guiltyly when they saw the captain who appeared after the barrier was broken.

"I underestimated the enemy...I didn't expect the Rose School of Thought to send a resentful soul to haunt me..." The captain of the Punisher Squad shook his head, his expression serious.

At the same time, in the window glass of a house by the side of the road, a Miss Wraith also left quietly, as if she had never been here.

...

On the other side, the seriously injured werewolf ran halfway, couldn't control his injuries any longer, vomited blood and fell to the ground. But Jason replied a little at this time, carried him on his back and jumped into the backyard of a clothing store...
