Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Surprise: Beginning with the Reader ()"

"I want to transform the 'Guardian Ritual' so that it can be used by me without being discovered by the original host... Then, when the transformation is carried out, it is best that the host is not around...

"Well, tomorrow morning, I should be able to get the information about the Extraordinary in the embassy compiled by Xio. After confirming who is maintaining this ceremony for a long time, I will find a way to let him leave the embassy for a while, so that I can do things easily... …

"But before that, there are still some other preparatory work to be done."

Thinking of this, Abner settled the coffee and a piece of chocolate cake he ordered in twos and threes, and after paying the bill, he drove back to the garden villa on Kingston Street - he needed to go back to get some necessary materials.

...

On Iron Gate Street, behind the "Brave Man" bar, Klein paid 2 pounds to ask Caspers to bring him to a house where an extraordinary party was being held.

After checking the "signature" through the strength and interval of knocking on the door, he was led through the dark living room and entered the living room on the first floor.

A candle was lit on the coffee table there, and the faint yellow light illuminated the entire room.

On the sofas and chairs around the coffee table were a dozen or so people, all dressed in hooded robes and iron-colored masks.

And on a single sofa in the center, sat an old man with deep nasolabial folds and slightly shriveled skin. He seemed to be the convener of this party.

When Klein saw such a scene, his eyes under the iron mask narrowed slightly... because he had seen this house and what happened at this party... When he passed the "Dream Divination" back then, When looking for how to get the "Joker" potion.

That time he divined three pictures, one of which was the scene where the old gentleman spent money to buy the "clown" trait sold by a lady... Of course, he didn't know that it was a trait at that time.

Did you buy the "property" that "Goddess Sword" gave me to promote from that old gentleman? Well, I can’t be sure, maybe I’ve flipped my hands many times in the middle...

Even so, Klein still gave the organizer of the party a label of "suspected to have a certain relationship with the government".

However, this is not a bad thing, at least the security of this party should be good?

Just when Klein was laughing at himself in bitterness, a female voice suddenly came from not far away, saying:

"I want to sell an extraordinary weapon."

arms? Klein adjusted his sitting posture and immediately focused.

He can't be promoted for the time being, if he wants to improve his strength, he can only start with foreign objects.

"This is a fire crow short bow, made of the bones and fascia of the extraordinary creature fire crow, it can condense an arrow made of flames when the bowstring is drawn, and the arrow will turn into a 'fire crow' after shooting , pounce on the enemy you want to attack...it can still be used for three years, of course, even after it fails, it is still a bow with very good accuracy and strength." The woman's voice rose and fell, Obviously trying to cover up his features, "For 400 pounds, or a plant of crazy grass, you can get it."

It's so expensive... For me, there is no reason why I have to get it... Bows and arrows are too inconvenient to carry, and the arrows condensed by flames may not be stronger than bullets... Although the 'Fire Crow' should be able to change direction and avoid Obstacles... Klein secretly shook his head and looked away.

In the end, after some bidding, this extraordinary item was finally bought by a lady wearing long gloves for 500 pounds.

Why are you wearing long gloves all the time? Is it because of the distinctive features of the hands?

Klein couldn't help but look a few more times when the lady took over the "Firecrow Shortbow", and speculated in his heart.

The lady seemed to be aware of his gaze and couldn't help looking over.

Klein just came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, then took out the iron cigarette case from his arms, released a ball of crimson Extraordinary properties like jelly, and said in a low voice: "I want to sell one thing."

...

Bridge District,

In a street park near Brown Street.

Ian Wright was running desperately out of the park, trying to attract the attention of the patrolmen who were chasing homeless people under the Poor Law.

And behind him, there are eight grown men in black suits and sunglasses chasing after them. They seem to be chasing closely, but in fact they have spare energy, as if they are on guard against something.

At this time, it seemed as if two glaring lightning flashed out of the night, and a tall and thin man who was the leader of the eight people suddenly let out a shrill scream. He felt as if hundreds of steel needles had been inserted into his head. !

The thin and tall man's little thinking ability allowed him to judge that he had suffered a mental shock, and his rich actual combat experience told him that he would definitely receive a series of non-stop blows in the follow-up!

So the man instinctively twisted his body into an incredible arc, rolling away towards the surroundings.

Seeing this somewhat familiar tumbling movement, the corner of Xio's mouth curled up when he issued the "spiritual piercing", and he used the "Ring of Prediction" without hesitation, raised his revolver, and shot towards the position shown in his mind and go.

This is the "clown" item vs. the real "clown", "prejudgment" vs "prejudgment".

At the same time, the members of MI9 brought by Xio also fought with the other seven men in black.

The tall and thin man in the lead was constantly "predicting" during the roll, but found that after the next roll, no matter where he landed, he would be hit...

He immediately understood that his opponent had a similar method against him, so he quickly stopped his steps, threw himself to the side suddenly, and then used the support of his left elbow to change direction and roll.

"I can change directions many times... I don't believe that the bullets in your pistol are infinite! When I regain the initiative, then..."

After finally "predicting" the scene where he successfully dodged the bullet, the thin and tall man was just relieved, but at this moment, an invisible whip was whipped across his soul, which seemed to have electric currents rushing through it. The feeling of passing overwhelmed his spirit in an instant, causing him to "wail" in pain, and he could no longer maintain the balance of the "clown", and the movement of "rolling" was out of shape, and he fell directly on his face to the ground in the park on the floor tiles.

Seeing this, Xio stepped forward on guard, intending to restrain him with special handcuffs first, but when she got to the side of the thin and tall man, she was shocked to find that he had committed suicide by taking poison.

The rest of the battle was also over. Three of those men in black escaped, and the other four were captured on the spot. They did not choose to commit suicide.

"The Intis intelligence department controlled by the Sauron family, Roselle's 'man in black' who has learned both dress and weave... What an irony!"

At this time, a mocking female voice came from far and near. Xio looked back and found a woman with a golden mask walking over.

She looks about 20 years old, with short, bright hair and sword-shaped eyebrows, which makes people feel heroic at first sight.

This was Her Highness Vera, the youngest daughter of the former king, who had promoted Hugh to become a full member of MI9.

"Your Highness, Ian took advantage of the chaos and ran away... This person who seems to be the leader also committed suicide..." Xio reported in embarrassment. She felt as if she had screwed things up.

"It doesn't matter, that's what I want... Hehe, Bakerland must have thought he tricked us!" Vera smiled and shook her head, then glanced at the dead tall and thin man, and said meaningfully, "This man was originally here to die."

"..." Xio nodded silently, but actually didn't understand at all, and decided to ask Abner tomorrow.

...

The back door of the Bar of the Brave, just after attending a party, he bought a weird "ear" with the money from selling Extraordinary characteristics. Klein took off his hooded robe and walked through the kitchen. Amid the noise of dogs barking and people yelling, he saw Kaspers stood outside the card room.

After asking the other party about the approximate time of the next meeting, Klein shook the copper whistle and deliberately avoided the chess and card room where Maric was, before leaving the Bar of the Brave and returning to Minsk Street.

A few minutes after he stepped out of the door of the bar, Maric ran out of the card room with weak feet, almost fell at the door, and his subordinates who usually surrounded him fell to the ground in the room.

"Don't let people in before this morning." Maric looked at the stunned Kaspers, and ordered hoarsely.

After getting an affirmative answer from Kaspers, Maric found a chair at random and sat down, ordered a barrel of Southwell beer, drank it with straight eyes, and remained dazed for a long time.

...

In the West District, in the abandoned underground prison of the Intis Embassy, ​​a huge bear head suddenly emerged from the ground.
