Mystery: Start with the Reader

Abner is generally quite satisfied with this mask. Although it will not be used for the time being, the importance of this item will be reflected when there is a need to wear a vest in the future.

As for the characteristics of "alive" and other side effects, not to mention whether it dares to rebel if it is suppressed by a high-level personality, when I become a Sequence Six, I can completely analyze the transformation ability of this low-profile "faceless man", although by then The simulated effect is probably the lowest among the low configurations, but it is better to use than this malicious Sealed Artifact.

With this in mind, Abner took the "clown mask" that didn't seem to need a special sealing method, and put it in the bag that the priest had prepared for him in advance.

"It's fine if you like it. Originally, I had another Extraordinary item to choose for you, but unfortunately it was stolen last night." Seeing that Abner was satisfied with the thank you gift, Bishop Utravsky nodded slightly, and said casually One sentence, then turned around and walked to the "Holy Emblem of Life" of the Mother Earth.

He stretched out his arms and recited in a low voice:

"Thank you, source of life!"

"Praise be to you, mother of all things!"

Seeing this, Abner didn't know what to say, because he was actually not sure whether his previous encounter with the priest was a coincidence or Lilith's arrangement.

Or maybe both.

On the return subway, Abner rubbed the mask in the bag with his hands, recalled the details of the church just now, and thought:

"In the novel, after Klein helped Father Utravsky completely solve his mental problems, the reward the priest offered him was to choose between the 'master key' and another sealed item consisting of a 'needle' and a 'container'. "

"The 'Master Key' should not be in the hands of the priest right now, because it was left behind by Emlyn when he got lost there at the end of August or early September. Don't say that Emlyn is still obsessed with dolls right now Even the young man of the Abraham family who was the predecessor of the 'Master Key' may not be dead yet."

"But the sealed item consisting of 'needle' and 'container' has not been found yet. Is it because it has not yet fallen into Father Utravsky's hands? Or is it the one that the priest said was stolen last night? The thing is it?"

"I guessed that the ambush against the priest was the work of the witch. Is it possible to guess that the witch was planning to use that Extraordinary item?"

"The function of the sealed item composed of 'needle' and 'container' in memory is to draw out a tube of your own blood, wait until the critical moment, and then re-infuse it in. In this way, it can eliminate fatigue, reduce diseases and injuries, and shorten the time. Time improves strength, speed, balance and other aspects of quality."

"Healing support abilities...does this have any use for witches?"

Until returning to Detective Essinger's office, Abner's thinking did not make any progress, so he had to put it on hold.

Looking at the time, he found that it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not far from the evening dance. He decided to relax his mind and start editing the 'holiday diary' that he was going to hand over to Mr. Fool at the Tarot Club tomorrow.

"First of all, first write a page of lace news... Well, you don't need to go into too much detail, just feel that a certain lady is very enthusiastic. It is impossible for Mister Fool to specifically check whether that lady is really enthusiastic... Even if you want to check, We have to wait until he becomes an 'Ancient Scholar'."

"Secondly, use the tone of Emperor Roselle to mention the stories about the 'Nightmare Dragon' who likes to weave real nightmares in reality... This kind of knowledge will flow out of his mouth shortly after the 'Sun' joins. I moved it in advance. It shouldn't be a big problem if it comes out... Well, to be on the safe side, it can't be clearly stated that the name of the "Dragon of Nightmare" is Al Suhod... No, it's better not to mention "Dragon of Nightmare", just say it is a giant. The son of the Dragon King. Hey, I hope this can make Klein understand his situation better."

"Finally, do you want to talk about 'Land Abandoned by God'? If the plot doesn't change, Alger should ask questions about 'Land Abandoned by God' in tomorrow's Tarot meeting.

Do you want to help Mister Fool prepare the answer first? "

"Let's forget it... It would be too strange if two pages of the three pages of the diary provided at one time had important content. And it's very likely that Alger will ask me directly this time... So the third page still uses the diary that was previously in the diary." I saw in the library that the Emperor went to the Southern Continent to have a spring breeze with the descendants of the royal family of the Balam Empire, so let’s make a story about leaving heirs. I don’t know what will happen if Klein asks Mr. Ards about this... um , It should be fine, the descendants of the royal family of the Balam Empire are most likely not from Mr. Azik's."

After scribbling and altering the three pages of the diary in Chinese, Abner worked hard to transcribe a copy of them with enlarged stroke patterns, and then wrote them down. For a person in the "reader" sequence, there is really no challenge in remembering this thing.

After finishing all this, Abner burned all the papers, and then looked at his pocket watch again, and found that it was nearly six o'clock. Although the dance was organized by the teacher, as the actual protagonist, he couldn't arrive too late.

...

At around 7:00 p.m., Abner dressed neatly and followed the teacher, waiting in the foyer of the public ballroom to welcome the guests to the ball.

There are quite a few detectives here, most of whom Abner has never seen before, but there are also a few whose names are quite familiar, and they are all characters mentioned in the original book, such as Detective Stuart, Detective Kaslana, For example, Detective Zreal who was eaten by mice when he appeared on the stage.

For the last Feysac spy, he always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

But he didn't think much about it, because soon, he saw a familiar face walking in.

Sheriff Farthing!

The chief of the Jowood District Police Department walked into the main entrance with his wife, who was carefully protecting her inconspicuous belly, on his arm.

So cautious... Pregnant woman? Abner was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself: This is because you think the tuba is useless, and you plan to practice again with a trumpet?

As a polite gentleman, Abner certainly would not stare at other people's wives, and at this time Detective Essinger had already greeted him, saying:

"Good evening, Sheriff. Hehe, madam, you are still shining today."

Sergeant Farthing greeted briefly first, then helped his wife find a seat and sat down, then returned and handed over the present with a polite smile:

"Sorry, my wife is pregnant, and it's less than a month old, so it's more dangerous."

"It looks like you're going to be a father again. Congratulations." Detective Essinger took the other party's gift and asked, "Is there any news about Ai Triss?"

"I received a letter from a relative in Enmat before, saying that he has made a name for himself at sea... Hey, I don't know if he can come back to see the birth of his brother or sister..." Sergeant Farthing sighed He took a breath.

Abner's heart was moved when he heard it from the side. He wanted to tell them about Aitris's experience, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was meaningless and worried Sergeant Farthing for no reason, so he had to give up in the end.

After a few more pleasantries, Detective Essinger gave the gift in his hand to the servant and asked him to put the things in the pre-prepared lounge.

Not long after, another relatively familiar guest came into Abner's sight. It was Miss Fiona Ravenwood, Sheriff of the North District, and her daughter.

——Due to the relationship of the Evernight Goddess Church, there are quite a few female police officers in the Loen police system, but due to the influence of other beliefs, social trends and other aspects, they still suffer from a certain degree of discrimination in promotions and positions , most of them are internal clerks, and there is also an invisible ceiling in the rising space.

The reason why Abner is familiar with them is because the daughter of this heroic female sheriff is his public school classmate Susan, the face he met outside Grant's clothing store after the accident at Jane's house. Girl with freckles. Before Abner crossed over, she used pocket money to support the original owner like Jane, so that the original owner did not live on the streets.

Seeing a familiar senior, Susan, a girl who just turned 17, was naturally very happy, stepped forward and said, "Abner, I saw a report about you in the "Daily Observer". You've become a detective in such a short time. Roman and Castor couldn't believe it when they saw it!"

Abner also smiled when he heard the words, retrieved the basic information of the two people from his memory, and asked casually, "How are they doing now? What are they busy with?"

"Caster graduated like you, but he was admitted to Hoy University in Tingen."

"And Roman joined Mr. Kapusti's club, and he is mysterious every day, and he doesn't know what he is busy with!"
