Mystery: Start with the Reader

On the outskirts of Tingen, a house with a green lawn.

It has gardens that wither away in early September, with dark red chimneys.

A middle-aged man with dark golden hair, one blind eye, dark blue and almost black pupils, a high nose bridge, tight lips, facial features as deep as a statue, and no wrinkles at all, walked into the bedroom and took out a feather from his pocket. A pen and an ordinary notebook are on the table.

He quickly turned to the last few pages, examining the lines written by himself with the quill pen:

"Megauss turned into a monster, the battle began, and with the help of the ashes of the saint, the 'vessel thief' and the strange appearance of high-level spells, Megauss died, and the children of the gods were exorcised, Dunn. Smith was on the brink of death, and the strength of Saint Selena's ashes was severely traumatized, which fits perfectly with Ince Zangwill's thinking.

"Klein Moretti wanted to use the 'Fallen Morning Star' to rescue Dunn Smith, but Ince Zangwill did not allow it.

"He killed Klein Moretti, the guy who always made his plans go wrong, and took away Saint Selena's ashes and the 'Fallen Morning Star' necklace.

"Ince Zangwill arranged a ceremony with the remaining traits of the descendant of the God of Death, consumed the ashes of Saint Selina, and successfully promoted from Sequence 5 'Gatekeeper' of the 'Death' pathway to Sequence 4 of the 'Dark Night' pathway' Night Watchman', thus gaining divinity and becoming a strong demigod."

"The sun is still shining on the earth, and almost everyone in Tingen City didn't realize that they were lucky enough to escape a huge disaster. The 'monster' Ademisor will be very puzzled by this."

The man named Ince Zangwill felt that there was no major problem after reading this, so he solemnly picked up the quill with his slightly pale palm, and wrote clearly at the end of the notebook without any ink on it. There is a sentence:

"The story of the city of Tingen ends here."

Crash, the paper flipped quickly, and the manuscript snapped shut.

Putting the notebook with the brown cover facing outwards into his pocket again, Ince Zangwill carefully inspected the necklace composed of five gemstones of different colors for a moment, and then said silently to himself:

"This is the rumored 'Fallen Morning Star'... Sure enough, the 'Ivans' Hidden Barrier' is still there... With it, you don't have to worry too much about the church's arrest, and may even reversely hunt the church's high-level... …

"Hehe, I will prove how stupid the Church of Evernight's decision to abandon me was!"

...

In front of a majestic palace with a gray appearance and a height of more than 200 meters, there stood a few thick stone pillars shorter than itself, as if standing a straight line of guards.

A slender lizard-like monster squatted on the top of the middle stone pillar, like a hill. Its body was covered with huge scales like gray and white stones, and its eyes were pale gold and straight.

This is a mythical and legendary spiritual dragon.

But at this moment, there was a hint of excitement in His pale golden eyes, and he uttered a dragon language word with a buzzing voice: "Al Suhod!"

But the excitement quickly faded away, the dragon regained its composure, and its pale golden vertical eyes became indifferent again, and it whispered to itself in a buzzing voice:

"That was not my arrangement... who helped me?

"Hermes? No, even I haven't observed the 'arrangement' process, enough to hide it from that one...it can't be his means...

"Then it can only be my original God... so he also saw the true identity of that one? Also, with his prudence, how could there be no doubts!

"Since that's the case...then don't be in a hurry...that one has been planning for thousands of years, and there is no way to deal with accidents...you have to wait for the best time...

"I believe that my God will create opportunities...

"Um,

In addition, be careful of Hermes... Although he awakened me and formed an alliance with me on the surface, he may also be planning something. "

Having said that, the giant dragon paused, shut his mouth, and kept asking in his heart:

Why talk to yourself? Although the environment here is very safe...

Is the fault belonging to Eric Hogg affecting me? No, obviously He is me, and I am Him...

So, did I also have such a habit?

...

Backlund, south of the bridge, in the basement of the Harvest Church.

Abner took the black gem, and couldn't help opening the "Pure White Eye" to analyze it, only to find that it was a rather special "Life Stone".

It is special because a lot of the knowledge used in refining this "Life Stone" is beyond the scope of Abner's cognition, so that the "Pure White Eye" cannot be completely analyzed in a short period of time. .

"This is to activate the things I arranged on Dunn..." The strange man who was the descending vessel of the Mother Earth explained with a smile.

Lilith Been to Tingen? That's right, thinking about what he said when he stopped me in East Chester, he obviously understands the specialness of Tingen, maybe he has some kind of deal with the goddess, so I went to investigate...

So, He did these things to befriend Klein, the future "Lord of Mysteries"?

There was a guess in his heart, but Abner didn't dare to ask, and only promised: "I will complete this task."

Not to mention that he already had the will to save Dunn and make up for the regrets in the original book, but Lilith's help several times before made him unable to say no...

And more importantly, the god personally entrusted it, so how could he have the courage to shirk it.

"Very good." The bewitching man nodded in satisfaction, and then he took off a blue crystal pendant from his cuff and handed it to Abner, "This is a prepaid reward for you."

Huh? And rewards? The task you assigned is not too troublesome, so I'm so sorry...

I wanted to think so, but Abner took the pendant unceremoniously, hung it on his cuff, and planned to study its function after returning home.

The gift from the elders is unavoidable, not to mention the things that the gods personally reward.

"Let's stop here today. I can't stay in the real world for too long. I'll see you later." Seeing Abner accepting the pendant, the bewitching and handsome man didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and revoked the permission to close the basement. Bloody space.

And his figure also disappeared with the cancellation of the closed space.

Holding the "Stone of Life" shaped like a black gem, Abner thought for a while before turning around and stepping up the stairs, returning to the prayer hall of the Harvest Church.

When Bishop Utravsky saw him coming up, he didn't ask much, just smiled and said gently: "The will of the Mother God is for me to help you as much as possible."

This time, I probably have to go to the Tingen Cemetery to dig a grave... If you, a half-giant over two meters tall, help you, don't you think you won't be discovered?

Making complaints in his heart, Abner thanked the half-giant bishop on the surface for his kindness, and asked him to sort out a copy of Tingen's latest information. Then he left the church and took a carriage back to his villa at No. 28 Kingstor Street.

"If the 'plot' hasn't changed much, both Dunn and Klein should be dead now...

"Eighty percent of the Church of Evernight's reinforcements have already arrived in Tingen. It is very difficult to get in touch with Dunn's body now, and it is easy to be discovered...

"So, it's safer to dig the grave after they are buried next Saturday...

"Well, I'll act again on Sunday night, staggering the time when Klein 'breaks ground', so as not to accidentally meet him and cause misunderstanding..."

After thinking about it in his heart, Abner came back to his senses, took the blue crystal pendant in his cuff in his hand, and opened his "Pure White Eye" to study it seriously.

...

Inside the Blackthorn Security Company that has been turned into ruins, full of burn marks and broken things.

Benson and Melissa walked in accompanied by Leonard.

Looking at the scene that seemed like a war, Benson's face was full of disbelief. He couldn't understand why such a terrible accident happened in the peaceful and peaceful city of Tingen.

And the accident took the life of his brother.

Melissa looked straight at the figure lying not far away, and ran forward a few steps in disorder, coming to the front.

She looked at Klein's body whose traces had been dealt with by the Nighthawks, bit her lips tightly with her teeth, and cursed in a low voice after a long while: "Idiot!"

Looking at this scene, Leonard felt very sad, and admired the girl's strength. After learning the bad news, she kept neither crying nor making noise, and her silence was so painful that it made people feel distressed.

At this time, when he heard the news of Tingen's accident, the "Secret Art Instructor" Stewart hurried over by train and walked into the company. He was about to ask something, but was stopped by Frye, who pointed at the family members in the company and shook his head. Shake your head.

Stuart immediately understood, turned around and walked towards the "punishers" of Tingen City who had come to reinforce them earlier.

And not far behind him, Ms. Daly, who came on the same train, closed her eyes, went straight to Leonard, and motioned him to come with her.

After a while, Ms. Daly said in a suppressed voice:

"Lanius!

"Ince Zangwill!

"Very good! You don't die so quickly! My cold little guys are eager to get in and out of every possible place on your body!"

...

At No. 138 Long Rose Street in the Backlund Bridge area, Detective Zuriel was sitting in the study, listening to the report of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy wearing a round hat.

"Ian, so you have found clues to the manuscript of Hermes Huine?"
