Mystery: Start with the Reader

In such a scene, it was obvious that something happened to the client Kelly's family. Abner and Hugh looked at each other and acted separately in tacit understanding.

Right now, the sooner the situation is clarified, the more likely it is that people will be rescued.

Xio came to the door of a nearby house in two or three steps, forcibly knocked open the closed door, and used his "majesty" to make most of the residents in the eastern district who were unwilling to cause trouble reluctantly tell what they had seen and heard before.

Abner looked around for clues and traces in Kelly's old apartment, extracted the breath, and then used the "scene backtracking" ability to restore the scene that just happened:

I saw eight strong men with the characteristics of the Southern Continent aggressively breaking into this old apartment. Behind them was a middle-aged man in a formal suit and a top hat. The breath is the least, so the appearance is a bit vague.

The Kelly family was not without resistance. The client lady's husband and youngest son had obviously received formal combat training, and each grabbed an iron bar and rushed up.

The two of them are not small in strength, they are very particular about cooperating with each other, and their shots are also extremely ruthless.

Although the eight strong men with the appearance of the Southern Continent gained the upper hand by relying on their numbers, they couldn't win immediately.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man who had been holding the line behind seemed a little impatient.

After he knocked the cane on the ground, Kelly's husband and son immediately showed shock and anger on their faces, and then they swung the iron bars at each other, and they both fell to the ground with double injuries within a few strokes.

The eight strong men took the opportunity to rush up and tied up the father and son and Kelly who had been hiding in the house.

Finally, they pushed the family of three towards the south dock.

The picture ends here, but Abner's expression is more serious. Because according to the information obtained backtracking, the leading man in suit is obviously a Extraordinary.

But what extraordinary ability did he use? Let the father and son kill each other in an instant... Illusion or mind control abilities?

Abner thought for a moment, then opened the "Pure White Eye" to analyze the aura left by the middle-aged man in formal attire using extraordinary abilities.

The last time I almost faced a terrifying existence because of "backtracking", Abner was actually a little bit embarrassed about using the "pure white eye" to analyze the extraordinary aura of unknown origin, but now that I think about it carefully, I can't just because of a small probability event. Worrying unfoundedly and giving up eating because of choking, this is the "golden finger" that I can rely on after all, and I still have to use it when it is critical.

The main body is the illusion ability of the "Trickster", mixed with "provocation"... It should be the use of extraordinary items, no wonder the father and son killed each other so quickly. However, this kind of ability has very poor effect on me. Under the suppression of the high-ranking level of the pure white eye, similar spiritual and illusion abilities are almost useless.

As soon as Abner thought of this, he saw Xio hurried back. He took the initiative to meet her, and shared the backtracking information with her: "There are nine people in total, and the leader is an Extraordinary. The Extraordinary path is unknown for now, but he has a A extraordinary item that can use illusion and provocation abilities."

Xio nodded, and said, "Nearby residents recognize the people who came to arrest the Kelly family. They should all belong to the Black Skull Party and often come here to collect protection fees."

Black Skeleton Party? Isn't this a gang formed by the Eternal Life Society and the East Balam Restoration Society? I remember that in the original book, when Klein lit a match, all of them were sent to meet the god of death...

Wait, the Eternal Life Society seems to be a branch of the Spiritual Cult. If they ordered the "Vinson Labor and Service Company" to dig things in Jane's house behind the scenes, it would make sense... After all, the Eternal Life Society should also be "man-made." A subordinate of the Grim Reaper faction, they have long been tasked with finding items related to Grim Reaper.

And the Grant family may have a lot to do with "Reaper", otherwise they wouldn't be valued by demigods.

While Abner was thinking,

Xio continued, "They've only left for a quarter of an hour, and they came in a hurry!"

Abner heard the determination in her tone, and asked deliberately: "Are you sure you want to rescue them immediately, instead of following them to their lair? If you do the latter, maybe you can get more clues."

Hearing Abner's words, Xio thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said firmly: "I am a 'sheriff', and this is my 'jurisdiction', saving people is the duty of a 'sheriff'."

Although I don't know the specific rules, but I think the "magistrate" should act like this... Although this is mostly out of Xio's heart.

Abner thought so in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and beckoned Xio to get closer, grabbed his arm, then took out a charm, and whispered "Storm" in ancient Hermes.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind rose under his feet, taking him and Xio into the air quickly, and flew towards the dock area in the south.

This is the "flying" ability of Sequence 6 "Wind Blessed".

Because the skills of this level cannot be imitated by Abner for the time being, he can only pray to the "unknown land" and endow the pure white eye with the "flying" ability that has been analyzed, but the validity period is only 2 hours.

This spell was just made by Abner before going out in the afternoon, and it will be invalidated in ten minutes, so it happened to be used here.

Hugh was often taken away by Abner using the "Sea Wind Hat" when he was on Damir Island, so he hugged his arm very skillfully at this time, and flew into the air with him.

In order to avoid being seen by others and attracting the official Extraordinary, Abner opened the "Pure White Eye" at the moment of lift-off to give himself and Xiong an "invisibility" ability. Although this ability is only a low-end version, it won't fail as long as you don't make big moves, and it's barely enough to cover your figure during the flight.

As for where does this ability come from? Of course, at the Extraordinary party last night, when the "confession" revolver was sent to the teacher for appraisal, the teacher secretly analyzed it with "2-081" for public benefit, and made the "invisible" ability on the gun I learned it.

And since "2-081" knew it, Abner who analyzed it with it that night would naturally know it too.

Back to the present, Abner and Hugh chased after him for less than five minutes, before seeing the members of the Black Skull Party and the Kelly family condescendingly.

"I'm going to deal with the leading Extraordinary, and you are here to rescue the hostages." After lowering the height, Abner lowered his voice and said to Xio.

"Understood." Xio nodded slightly, and took the three-edged thorn in his hand. After all, this is an urban area, even if you become an agent of MI9, you have to pay attention to the impact.

On the street, a middle-aged man in a suit and a top hat was thinking about his own affairs, while absently looking back at the gangsters behind him.

But his eyes suddenly focused, because under the feet of one of the thugs, a shadow that did not belong to him suddenly appeared, but there was nothing above the head of the thug.

"No, there are enemies!" Although the middle-aged man's sequence is not high, he has also seen a lot of extraordinary abilities. He knew that there were enemies approaching. Shots from above and below that gangsta thug.

But before he had time to move, he heard the word "Crimson" spoken in the ancient Hermes language.

"Spell?" Although the middle-aged man had guessed the method used by the enemy, a sense of deep tranquility had pervaded in an instant, and he tried his best not to fall asleep. The voice that reads the poem:

"O sun of insomniacs! Star of melancholy!

"The 'past', the brilliance of the past is also shining,

"But its feeble light has no warmth;

"'Sorrow' is all about looking at the ray of light in the dark night,

"It is clear, but far away; brilliant, but how cold!"

At the end of the poetry recitation, the middle-aged man could no longer resist the sleepiness, and soon fell into a dream.
