Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Mr. Karen, why are you here?" Abner asked in surprise when he saw the person coming.

"I was chasing this witch... I didn't expect her to die in your hands!" Karen glanced at Rey's headless body and replied with a smile.

After finishing speaking, his eyes looked over the corpse, and fell on Ms. Daly, who had been smiling and silent since he appeared.

Seeing him looking at Ms. Daly, Abner quickly introduced: "Mr. Karen, this is Ms. Daly from the Church of Evernight. The witch was actually killed by Ms. Daly and I."

Karen nodded slightly, and exchanged names with Daly, so they knew each other.

Since the relationship between the Church of Evernight and the Church of the Mother Earth is very ordinary, Karen did not exchange greetings with Deledo, but told them about the fierce battle in the vineyard before, and finally said:

"Because Rey was stabbed by the 'Goddess Sword', I concluded that there was a high probability that she would have an accident during her escape, so I used her blood to indicate the direction, and then I chased after her."

"It turns out that the witch was stabbed by Lord Snake, no wonder she was so unlucky." Daly said suddenly.

Hearing this, the corners of Karen's mouth twitched. Although there was nothing wrong with it, why did it sound strange?

At this time, Abner finally understood why the effect of "Solomon's Gold Coin" was so good today...

"Hurry up and go back to the banquet. I'm looking at the Extraordinary characteristics here... I think the people from the church should be arriving soon." Karen glanced at the black jelly-like substance that was being separated from the witch's body, and turned to Abner The two said.

Ms. Da Li naturally has no objection. She trusts the official Extraordinary even if it is not an official member of Loen, so she got out of the car first.

"Okay." Abner responded first, but didn't get out of the car in a hurry, and asked again: "Mr. Help him?"

Karen smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "Don't worry, the bishop is a man favored by God, and his will and belief are very firm, so nothing will happen so easily... He should be awake by now."

"God's favored..." Abner repeated the word, and then he felt relieved.

At this time, Karen suddenly waved his hand to drive away the nearby spirits, and then glanced through the car window at Ms. Daly who had walked a long distance before whispering to Abner: "Abner, that Ms. Daly She has a depraved temperament, so she is not a suitable spouse...Compared to you, Miss Hugh, Miss Fors and even Miss Susan who are closer to you are more suitable for you, they are all pure girls."

As a vampire, he only likes pure and beautiful girls. He was born with a bit of disgust for a woman like Daly who had been in a wild life.

"Although Ms. Daly has been depraved for a while, she has been redeemed by an upright gentleman..." Abner first explained to Daly sternly, and then said angrily, "I am in your eyes What kind of image is it? You make me look like a playboy like Emperor Roselle..."

"Rosell is not as reserved as you when it comes to the relationship between men and women. Back then... Forget it, why am I telling you this." Karen shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, and continued, "By the way, are you Don't you still owe me a promise?"

"What do you want me to do for you?" Abner asked warily. He didn't want to renege on the debt, but just wanted to assess the risk of the matter.

"Don't be nervous, as I said before, it's not dangerous." Karen waved his hand first, and then said carefully, "I think you are very popular with girls, and you should understand little girls' thoughts...so let me You help me choose some gifts and bring them to my sister..."

Abner was relieved to hear this request.

He didn't bother arguing with the other party whether he liked girls, and whether he knew how to choose what girls liked...Anyway, Su would just help him buy some gifts. As for whether Karen's sister likes it or not, what does it matter to him?

"How old is your sister?" Thinking of this, Abner asked casually.

"Eh... less than a hundred years old."

...

On Thursday morning, the underground of the Cathedral of the Holy Wind.

Because he has been in charge of monitoring Grant's clothing store, "Father of the Wind" McConaughey has become the only mid-sequence member of Backlund's "Punisher" team that is still intact, and has acted as the captain.

At the moment, he is holding a notebook and reporting the news gathered from all parties to "Singer of God" Ace Snake.

"After being ambushed by us once, Witch Rey has been planning '2-001' as a ceremony for her future promotion.

"However, when she changed from joy to pain, the 'ritual' she used was a former believer of the Mother Earth who believed in the 'primordial moon', so she was polluted and showed signs of mental division...or a The new personality is quietly changing her.

"She continued to harass the faithful of the Lord through her connections with MI9 and some of the nobles, creating trouble for us and further spreading our strength.

"After that, she secretly polluted '2-001' through her actions at the headquarters of the "Daily Observer", and then she was able to detect the location of this sealed item through special means...At that time, Detective Brian passed Evan It reminded us of this, but unfortunately we didn't pay attention to it.

"The Witch Rey probably knew about the existence of '1-025' through her relationship in the ninth part of the plot, and tried her best to lure us to use this sealed item to divination her position. And she secretly contacted the half of the Rose School God, use this sealed item as bait to restrain you...

"The witch's plan finally succeeded, she successfully used three 'holy objects' to get rid of the control means of the 'primordial moon', and took '2-001' from the captain.

"Unfortunately, she underestimated the influence of the 'Sword of the Goddess', fell into bad luck without knowing it, and was eventually killed by Detective Bryan and a Nighthawk.

"In the end, the extraordinary characteristics of the Witch of Pain were taken away by Your Excellency St. Anthony, the 'Harvest Sacrifice' characteristic attached to the flower was recovered by the Church of the Mother Earth, and '2-001' was returned to us."

"Wind Blessed" McConaughey closed his notebook with heavy eyes. After all, Backlund's "Punisher" team suffered heavy losses this time. Not only were almost everyone seriously injured from the captain down, even the "Wind Blessed" were seriously injured. One was killed! What's more, a "0" level sealed item was lost.

"We owe a lot to the Church of the Mother Earth and the Church of the Evernight...without their help, Kuhn might not be able to come back..." After Snake sighed wearily, the only one of his opponents who could still The "Father of the Wind" said: "I have already reported this matter to the Holy Church, and the reply I got is that the supervision of the Mother Earth Church can be relaxed."

"To what extent?" McConaughey asked.

"It is still not allowed to preach in public, but the Harvest Church is allowed to hold a mass once a week." Snake replied.

"Then...the Church of Evernight?"

"Send over all the information we got from Hazel about the 'Stealer' demigod. They suffered a loss last time and must want to save face." Snake said after thinking about it.

Seeing that McConaughey had no objections, the "Singer of God" stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, turned his back to his team members and asked, "How is Kuhn?"

"He saved his life under the treatment of the 'Desolate One'...but he used the 'Holy Object' excessively, and his spirit was seriously polluted. I'm afraid he can no longer serve as the contractor and captain of the 'Holy Object'." McConaughey sighed He took a breath, his face was full of haze.

"Then let him guard the underground warehouse after he recovers..." After finishing speaking, His Excellency Snake seemed to remember something, and asked instead, "You just said that Detective Blaine killed the witch... this Blaine Is it the detective who exposed the devil's conspiracy at the headquarters of the "Daily Observer" before? The one who is valued by the Church of the Mother Earth?"

"Yes, sir." McConaughey nodded.

"Then, through the newspapers we control, let's promote the name of this detective again. Consider it our return to the 'Desolate One'."

After finishing speaking, Snake left the headquarters of the "Punisher" team, got into the carriage and headed for Queens... He wanted to seek justice for his team members.

...

Queens, Sodrak Palace.

Wearing a crown, with a firm face and a mustache, George III sat on the throne, looked at Viscount Stratford in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, the Church of the Storm and the Church of Evernight hope that you can give an account of the court nobles colluding with the witch." Viscount Stratford bit the bullet and reported.

"Confession? Hmph, Earl Lorena's father and son colluded with the Witch of Pain, and were killed by the Witch in the end. This is an explanation!" George III snorted.

"In addition, I remember that whether it is the Church of the Night or the Church of the Storm, the councilors they support have recently promoted the issue of 'selecting officials through public examinations'... Tell them, in principle, I agree." George III met Viscount Stratford With a look of embarrassment on his face, he added another sentence.

"Of order, Your Majesty." Viscount Stratford heaved a sigh of relief and responded.

After the Viscount retired, George III sat there without moving for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly laughed out of nowhere.

...

In a strange city shrouded in night, there are gorgeous buildings with a very mysterious and dark feeling.

And its most central position is a church. This church is more than eighty meters high, and it is supported by huge black pillars. Each giant pillar is inlaid with a certain number of skulls. Some of them come from humans, and some come from different creatures, but they will all be empty. His eyes were aimed downwards, as if he was watching every creature that entered the church.

Every detail of this church is exquisite, but they are composed of elements that tend to be nightmares, horrors, horrors, and mysteries.

In the depths of the church hall, stands a huge cross, with a gray and white dragon statue wrapped around the cross.

Unlike ordinary churches, there are no rows of seats for believers to pray, and there is no place to place candlesticks. Instead, a small long table is placed in front of the dragon statue, with five seats on each side of the long table. Chairs, the top and the bottom are empty.

At this time, an old-fashioned gentleman with a slightly wrinkled forehead and an abnormally pale face led a man wearing glasses with wide-open eyes. The man with the patterned mask with his mouth wide open came in, and said to the other six people sitting on both sides of the long table:

"This is Mr. Rage, who has profound attainments in the spiritual field. He will be a new member of the jury."
