Mystery: Start with the Reader

Abner didn't fly very far with the sack containing "Dunn", he just left the urban area and landed on the ground, and came to a single-family house that he rented under a false identity.

This house is relatively far from the three major churches, and the Tussock River flows nearby, so it is very convenient to escape.

And Abner had already arranged a ritual to cover up visions and voices in the hall of the house, so as soon as he entered the house, he put Dunn's "corpse" on the prepared altar.

A remote suburban house, dim crimson moonlight, flickering candlelight, strange and mysterious runes... plus an altar with corpses...

This situation made Abner, the host of the suspected "evil" ceremony, feel a little strange, and couldn't help complaining:

"It's clearly a ceremony of the Orthodox Church, the presider is a person favored by the gods, and the rescued one is also a noble 'hero'... But, how did this scene look like a big villain? Anyone who sees it is afraid Go report it."

Relieving his nervousness, Abner carefully took out a tin box from his pocket. He removed the spiritual blockade above, and took out the black "Life Stone" given to him by the Mother Earth Goddess.

Abner took a deep breath, and after being ready to run at any time, he stepped forward and unbuttoned Dunn's jacket, revealing his obviously stitched chest, and then solemnly placed the black gem on the on his left chest.

As soon as the "Stone of Life" touched Dunn's body, it melted into his chest, and then his whole body was surrounded by red and green colors, bursting into intertwined red and green shine.

Seeing this scene, Abner quietly breathed a sigh of relief, because this level of vision cannot break through the ritual he arranged...

While relaxing, Abner opened the "Pure White Eye" and carefully observed the changes in Dunn's body as the accumulation of his direct observation.

Although Abner doesn't yet know what the complete way to play the "polymath" is, but accumulating different kinds of knowledge must be part of it.

In this way, about thirty minutes later, Dunn, who was lying on the altar, slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were very loose, as if he was in a daze.

The fact is exactly the same. After waking up, Dunn only felt that he was having a chaotic dream.

In the dream, he turned into Little Itter, who collapsed in fright and cried after the first dangerous mission; he became Roseanne's father, Adlai, who once blocked an evil curse with his arm De; transformed into Dawn, a beautiful girl with a warm temperament like the morning sun...Of course, it also became Dunn Smith, who inspired the power of "Saint Selena's Ashes" with his heart, and died in the end...

"Who are you?" At this time, an ethereal voice seemed to reach his ears from the sky, with a warm and reassuring power.

"Who am I? Who am I... Who am I!" The confused Dunn seemed to focus on hearing the voice. He repeated this question over and over again, and a picture after another quickly flashed in his mind. .

There are pictures of Adelaide who likes to read, reading books in the sun room, pictures of little Yi Te often going hunting in the forest, pictures of Dawn always standing at the window of her bedroom, quietly stopping to watch...

In the end, the picture stayed on him as Dunn embracing Daly in the office...

"Daily..." After saying the name, Dunn "dropped" his "anchor" as if the lost ship had finally found a port where it could dock.

"I'm Dunn Smith! The captain of Tingen's Nighthawks team, and... Daly's lover." Dunn said this, his eyes had regained clarity, and he recalled some episodes before he was killed.

Although his body is still unable to move,

But the mind has quickly analyzed: I should be dead...why did I resurrect?

Is there a cultist who stole his own body and tried to control his resurrected self?

Or was Daly doing something stupid just like Old Neil?

Just when he was worried, a dusty memory suddenly reappeared in his mind:

It was a Friday in mid-July. He was on a routine tour of Raphael's cemetery, but was pulled into a separate space by a silver-haired vampire in a red shirt and black turtleneck coat.

The vampire said something strange like "giving favor to a friend he has never met", bit his neck involuntarily, and said it was a "guarantee" for himself...

Afterwards, there was another conversation between him and himself... Dunn intuitively felt that that conversation had a lot to do with his current situation, so he tried hard to recall, and finally reproduced the scene in his mind:

After biting Dun En's neck, the eerie and handsome silver-haired vampire let go of his suppression, and said with a smile: "I will use half of your soul and the part you haven't digested from other people's Extraordinary characteristics with a special The means are sealed.

"Hehe, without the burden of those extra features, your mental state will gradually improve in the future, and the problem of forgetfulness can also be improved. However, half of your soul is lost, even if I use the method of 'creation' to help you make up for it. , your resistance to spiritual spells, especially the 'curse' of the spirit will still be much lower."

Dunn touched the place where he was bitten on his neck, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked in a low voice, "Why did you do that?"

"Creation", the term sounds like a method only available to "high-level" Extraordinary people.

"I said, just to provide you with a guarantee against accidents...Let's put it this way, if you die unfortunately, half of your spirit will be separated out along with the Beyonder characteristics you have digested. In the eyes of outsiders, especially a certain In the induction of a pen, you are really dead!

"However, the part of the characteristics and soul that I have sealed comes from you after all. Once someone holds the 'Life Stone' that I refined and unseals it, a ritual of 'Life Refining' will be automatically triggered, allowing you to be resurrected ...

"However, your soul was not complete at that time, and I am afraid that it will be sutured with the remaining spirit of the part of your personality that has not been digested...

"As for who leads your spirit in the end, that depends on you."

Having said that, the strange silver-haired vampire showed a beautiful smile, and continued, "Okay, let's stop here today, I have tampered with your memory, and you will forget that you met me after a while." You can't remember what happened next until the seal is lifted."

When the memory ended here, Dunn subconsciously wanted to touch his neck with his hand, but regretfully found that he was still unable to move.

But he immediately felt something was wrong, because the surroundings did not feel real to him, but rather like a scene in a "dream".

After seeing through this point, as a senior "Nightmare", Dunn immediately activated his ability and wanted to get rid of the "dream", but the mental confusion immediately hit him, causing his ability to fail directly, and he almost suffered a backlash .

At this moment, the scene around him shattered. Dunn immediately felt his body regain control. He immediately sat up and looked around. What he entered was a hall that looked like a cult ceremony site, and a young man with a long, thin face and a goatee beard. .

This young man was naturally Abner. After Dunn woke up, he was afraid that he would overreact and attract the official Extraordinary, so he simulated a "nightmare" and pulled him into the dream, planning to communicate there first.

But who would have thought that Dunn's mind was so confused that he couldn't even activate the "Nightmare" ability, so he didn't see the fact that he was in a dream for a while, but instead recalled some things between him and the goddess of the earth.

Abner was naturally very interested in this, so he simply induced him to watch a "documentary" on his dream "island" for free.

Who is Lilith's unseen friend referring to? Klein? But combined with that conversation... it may also point to me... After all, before everything happened, the person who had the will to save Dunn could only be me who knew the plot, right?

Thinking of this, Abner felt flattered, how could he be able to make a god as a "friend"!

Of course, this may also be Lilith's tongue-in-cheek, after all, he still said that he was on the order of the ancestor... He is clearly the incarnation of the ancestor.

Dun En, who sat up, saw that the young man who seemed to be the host of the ceremony was only looking at him, but did not speak, so he had to speak first, and asked solemnly: "Who is your Excellency?"

Hearing this, Abner came back to his senses. He thought about the prototype of the character he had disguised with his "Faceless Man" ability, and thought about his possible way of "acting" in the future, and replied with a chuckle:

"You can call me... 'Doctor Strange'."
