Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Surprise: Beginning with the Reader ()"

No. 28, King Street, in the bedroom on the third floor of the garden villa.

While eating the dessert Mrs. Scudder prepared daily, Xio talked to Abner about what happened today.

"That is to say...you went to the police station to interrogate a detective named 'Sherlock Moriarty', and confirmed that this is a major case involving foreign spies?" Abner asked with a slightly strange expression .

After Miss "Judgment" purified "The Fool", she began to interrogate "The Fool" again...

If these "operations" are told to the future "Hermit" lady, I wonder if she can come up with some weird "mysterious reappearances"?

Xio didn't know what was going on in Abner's mind. He nodded when he heard the other party's question, and then recounted to Abner what he had seen and heard in the "MI9" building, and finally asked :

"That boy named Ian looked for you before?"

"You know, I wasn't in Backlund before." Abner spread his hands and said.

But I see your attitude... I always feel that you know the purpose of his coming here... Xio thought so, but didn't ask much.

Abner didn't want to say it, and there was always a reason why he didn't say it. At this point, Hugh trusted his friend very much.

Moreover, her main goal of coming to Abner's house late at night is not MI9's mission, but to find a safe place to pray to Mister Fool...to clear up Miss Justice's misunderstanding and her friend's plight Tell Mister Fool together, and pray for His blessing in the corresponding time.

"Pray to Mister Fool... at this time?" Abner's expression became even weirder after hearing Hugh's intentions.

Ms. "Judgment", you almost used the "Whip of Pain" to whip Mister Fool just now in the interrogation room, and now you are disturbing his sleep in the middle of the night... Is this really alright?

Xio obviously had other misunderstandings about Abner's expression, and said helplessly: "I also know that I am a little impatient... After all, I haven't accumulated enough contributions from Mr. Fool... I don't even owe you 'Ro Searle's diary is not finished yet!

"But tomorrow is the night of the full moon. You know about Forsi's situation. Although she tried her best to conceal it, I still found that she has been just trying to hold on..."

If there is no accident, Forsi should be able to survive this time. In the original book, it was the next full moon that Mr. "Fool" dragged her into the gray mist... But the plot has been "butterfly" to this point by me, saying everything Not sure, so Hugh's worry is also very reasonable...

Abner nodded thoughtfully, and then heard Xio continue:

"Also, I would like to ask you for a favor...Because of this case involving Ambassador Intis, I probably won't have time to go home tomorrow night, can you help me keep an eye on Forsi secretly, once she really holds up If you can't stop...let her recite Mister Fool's honorable name."

There is a high probability that Forsi will read it by herself, so I don't need to be fussy at all... Thinking of this in my heart, Abner nodded without hesitation on the surface: "No problem."

Seeing Abner's straightforward response, Xio heaved a sigh of relief, completely relieved. As far as she is concerned, Abner is much more reliable than herself in such a major matter.

While relaxing, Xio recalled the scene when the three of them had dinner together in a restaurant in the East District. He only felt that Abner's words at that time were full of deep meaning, and couldn't help asking:

"I remember you told Fors the first time you met her that her problems could only be solved by praying for the blessing of the gods...At that time we all thought you were just being perfunctory...Now that I think about it, you were Isn't it implying that we are praying to Mister Fool?"

hint? That's not a hint... it's just a "prophecy" of your future in a certain sense...

Abner also recalled the scene at that time. Although it was only less than 4 months ago, it seemed like it happened a long time ago... At that time, I was still a "warrior" who dared to say anything, unlike now,

Even a small "Intis ambassador" incident is hidden...

Although this incident involves a "brave" who dares to challenge the two pillars.

After laughing at himself, Abner retracted his wandering thoughts, and answered carefully, "You think too much, I hadn't entered Mister Fool's kingdom at that time."

Even Mister Fool himself was hanging in "Origin Castle" at that time.

Xio nodded noncommittally, without further questioning, instead bowed his head reverently, and recited in a low voice:

"A fool who does not belong to this era..."

...

In a townhouse at 15 Minsk Street, Jorwood.

Mr. Fool didn't fall asleep. He just explained to the landlord Mr. Summer and his wife about beating someone to death at home, and got the other party's understanding.

This made Klein secretly sigh in his heart:

Mr. and Mrs. Summer are still good people in essence. If they were mean landlords, if what happened tonight happened, they would have already deducted the fee and refunded the money, and told me to get out...

After returning to the rented house, Klein cleaned up the furniture damaged by the fight before getting ready to go to bed.

But at this moment, phantom layers of pleading suddenly sounded in his ears.

...

In the ancient hall above the gray mist, Klein, who repeatedly confirmed that he was not under strict surveillance, finally walked four steps backwards and came to this mysterious space.

He glanced at the crimson star that was constantly shrinking and expanding, and confirmed that the prayer came from Miss Judgment.

What will happen to Miss Judgment? Could it be that they want to report to me the case involving the ambassador? Or did she encounter danger during the investigation?

No matter what it is, it is what he wants to know at the moment, so Klein sat down in the position of "The Fool", and stretched out his right hand, spreading his spirituality, and touching the corresponding crimson star.

All of a sudden, the prayers became clear enough and well-structured, and Klein quickly figured out what the "judgment" was talking about.

He was a little disappointed that he didn't get any useful information, and he was also interested in what Miss "Judgment" reported.

Miss "Justice" tried so hard to attract friends to the party, but Mr. "Tower" recommended it to me...

No wonder Miss "Judgment" has to disguise herself to such an extent in the Tarot meeting...

This world is really small!

After a few words of emotion, Klein turned his attention to the second matter reported by Miss "Judgment".

The full moon raving? Suspected to be derived from the ancestors of the Abraham family? How can I fix this? It seems that "Secret Agreement" has no similar effect... and "Fallen Morning Star" is lost, and I don't have other high-level items to replace it...

Wait, according to Miss "Judgment"'s description, the lady named Forsi had signs of losing control because she heard the ravings... Then if she doesn't hear it anymore, will she be able to calm down and get better?

Well, if that lady really can't hold on and asks me for help, I'll drag her into the gray mist as a guest... As for whether to let her join the Tarot Club... let's wait until I become Sequence 7... ...there is really nothing that can be done at the moment.

And in this way, Miss "Judgment" owes me a favor, so I can order her to investigate some things for me openly.
