Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Surprise: Beginning with the Reader ()"

On Monday morning, because he failed to find Roselle's diary last week, Abner, who owed Klein a "debt", had to start the "fabrication" business again.

First, he imitated Roselle's tone and praised the beauty and sexiness of a certain lady, and then had an in-depth exchange... Of course, Abner did not write about the details, and he believed that even if Roselle escaped again, he would not I will write my own XX text...

And on the second page, Abner describes some introductions to the "heterogeneous" pathway.

On the way to Enmate with Dunn before, he had exchanged a lot of things with the other party, and knew that "Kornli" did not die because of "Lina".

In addition, Abner had popularized the "Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics" on Origin Castle early in the morning, so there is a high probability that Klein would not write to Mr. Azik about the "captain cannibalism incident" as in the original book... …

He probably lacked some knowledge of "heterogeneous" because of this, so Abner planned to make up for him.

After carefully reading the diary he "made up" several times, and after confirming that it was correct, Abner deliberately enlarged the frame structure and copied it on another letter paper.

The fabricated manuscript was burned to ashes by him.

After noon, Xio came to the door again... Well, this time it was the door.

After spending some time in Abner's study to prepare a disguise, she stepped on the ten centimeters inner height to open the door and called him in.

The balance ability of "Joker" is really easy to use. Looking at Xio's appearance, Abner secretly sighed, and then talked about another matter:

"Last night was very dangerous, Fors may have a hard time making it through the next full moon..."

Xio nodded solemnly, and said, "I will make more preparations in this month, so that she can more easily accept Mister Fool..."

This sounds so weird... Abner complained in his heart, and then Xio continued: "In addition, Mr. Fool is a god who follows the principle of 'equal exchange'. Although he is willing to help Foer I think, but I can't take it as it should be... There must be something in return... It's just that I don't know what Mister Fool needs besides Roselle's diary..."

Money is still needed... Of course, the biggest headache for him at this stage is the threat of Ambassador Intis...

Wait, if Klein still announces the task of assassinating the ambassador at the Tarot Club later, as in the original book, then I might as well follow up... In this way, there will be a reason for Klein to recruit Fors into the club.

It also saves Miss Justice from going to get ten thousand pounds off Mr. A.

As for whether you have this strength? Abner didn't think it was a big problem. After all, what methods the other party had was clearly described in the original book, and he knew himself and the enemy well.

...

The familiar gray fog and hazy figures came into view, and Audrey, who was successfully promoted to Sequence 8, half got up, raised her skirt, and led the Tarot Society to greet happily:

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool~"

She has been taking the lead in saying hello since last week, but neither "The Hanged Man" nor "Tower" expressed any objection to this... After all, Miss "Justice"'s good mood is very contagious, and they are also happy in this way.

As for "Judgment" and "Sun", these details are even more ignored.

Klein, who had turned on his Spirit Vision early, sized up Miss Justice, smiled lightly and said:

"Welcome, our Miss Mind Reader."

Audrey smiled reservedly, said a few words modestly, and turned to look opposite:

"Mr. The Hanged Man, it's time for you to hand in your six-page diary for this week."

Maybe Mister Fool will think of something after seeing it, and tell us a little "common sense"... The corners of her mouth slightly curled up in anticipation.

Alger nodded, and with Klein's help, began to manifest six pages of Roselle's diary.

Before, he thought about whether to ask "The Fool" to submit the remaining diaries directly by means of sacrifice, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to be very interested,

After I didn't take the initiative to mention it, I gave up this plan.

And this is in line with his cognition, Roselle's diary has a certain effect on the godlike Mister Fool, but not too much, he will collect it, but it is not urgent.

Abner also manifested his fabricated diary, and while waiting for Mister Fool to take it away, he said, "After this time, I still owe you two pages."

"Very good." Klein the Fool nodded slightly, and then let the two of them flash a total of eight pages of diaries into his palm.

He was not in a hurry to read Roselle's diary, but looked up at the five members on both sides, tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his fingers, and said with a low smile:

"I want to issue a mission."

As Klein deepened his understanding of mysticism and the extraordinary domain, as he gradually experimented with some of the abilities of the space above the gray mist, he gradually became less guilty than before when facing "Justice" and other members. No longer blindly thinking about maintaining an unfathomable image, lest members of the Tarot Society, such as "Tower" and "The Hanged Man", keenly poke through his disguise.

He now knows that although the gods in this world are powerful and weird, they are by no means omniscient and omnipotent.

To put it simply, the gods have limitations, and the gods may also be in trouble.

Therefore, Klein has consciously added "personality" to the recent Tarot gatherings, trying to shape himself into a limited powerhouse who is close to the gods but cannot move freely for some reason... Well, press " The understanding of "tower" is the "ancient god" who is being revived.

In this way, even if he occasionally shows that he does not know enough about certain things, and occasionally asks for help, it will not arouse the suspicion of the members of the Tarot Society.

Of course, the premise of all this is that through his previous attempts and the powerful strength shown by "Faith" Azik, he has undoubtedly implanted the image of a god in the hearts of all members, even The well-informed Mr. "Tower" was overwhelmed and failed to see through.

Task? Audrey "Justice" twitched her ears slightly, her eyes widened, and she was surprised, expecting, and apprehensive.

She clearly remembered that this was the first time Mister Fool officially issued a mission!

At the same time, already a "mind reader", she keenly discovered that the "Hanged Man" seemed to have no changes, but was actually extremely nervous. Miss "Judgment" was also very moved, as if she had been looking forward to "" The Fool's entrustment... and the "Sun" is ignorant, and regards this as a very normal thing.

Well, only Mr. "Tower" remained as calm as ever, showing no signs of surprise at all... Maybe this is the self-confidence of a strong man?

"You can choose to pick it up, or not to pick it up." Klein used the ability of "Joker" to make his tone look quite relaxed, "Another of my followers has arrived in Backlund, and he hopes to complete one thing, but It’s not convenient to come out by yourself.”

The other favored... "The Hanged Man" nodded as if thinking about it, and was not surprised at all.

I don’t know what sequence Mister Fool’s favored one has... well, I actually still owe him a bounty to his previous favored one... Even though Mr. Fool’s reward is paid by the “Hanged Man”, he doesn’t like it Money, but I did pray with the mentality of asking for help at the time, and "Vice Admiral Hurricane" was killed by that favored person...His favored person still needs a certain amount of funds for activities..."Justice" Audrey Thinking a little guilty.

"Judgment" Xio decided that no matter whether the task issued by Mister Fool is difficult or not, she must try her best to complete it, in order to repay the "help" that Mister Fool promised to Forsi.

And Mr. "Tower" is trying his best to hold back his smile at this moment, so as not to be seen by Mister Fool that he knows he is fooling people.

Seeing that "Justice" and the others did not speak, Klein made up his mind and announced the task:

"What my favored one wants to accomplish is to assassinate the ambassador of the Republic of Intis to the Kingdom of Loen, Bakerland Jean Madan."

Although this might arouse Miss Judgment's suspicion, Klein, who really couldn't think of any other good way, couldn't care less.

Moreover, even if Miss "Judgment" had doubts, she would not think of the weak, pitiful, and helpless detective she had interrogated, and would only think that the favored person of "The Fool" also wanted to get the third-generation difference engine. Manuscript, that's why he was preparing to assassinate one of his most powerful competitors.

Just as Klein was thinking secretly, on the other side, "Justice" Audrey couldn't control herself, and asked in a voice:

"Assassinate the ambassador of the Republic of Intis? Will this cause disputes between the two countries?"

Xio "Judgment" was also shocked, and quickly thought about who the favored person of "The Fool" might be.

From the point of view of the principle of "whoever benefits is suspected", it is most likely to be the kid named Ian, followed by a middle-level and high-ranking member of MI9 who wanted to use this to make meritorious service, a Fusac spy, The member of the evil organization trying to cause chaos and the detective who was attacked...

Ian and the detective can be the first to rule it out. If they were really the favored ones of Mister Fool, they wouldn't let the situation develop to this point... Moreover, Mister Fool said that his favored one just arrived in Backlund, and the gods would not Will expire us on that front, so certainly not them.

Members of evil organizations that create chaos can also be ruled out. Mister Fool is not evil in any way, and even if he assassinates the ambassador, it will not cause disputes...Whether there will be a war between the two countries depends only on whether the upper echelons of the two sides want to fight. , has nothing to do with the life and death of a diplomat.

She didn't understand these "political" matters at first, but for a while when Abner read history books, he often discussed similar issues with her, and after listening to them a lot, she naturally understood a lot.

Just when Xio lowered his head to think, "The Hanged Man" Argel had already expressed a similar point of view to Miss Justice, and focused on describing the dark side of Bakerland, dispelling her hesitation, and added at the end:

"I don't know if this ambassador is a Extraordinary, but many clues indicate that he probably is.

"There are many Extraordinary people around him, and they belong to the Intis Intelligence Agency, and this department has long been influenced by the original royal family, the Sauron Family, and has mastered the first part of the sequence of the 'Hunter' pathway."

And at this time, Abner, who had been listening all the time, suddenly said in an affirmative tone: "Bakeram is the 'conspirator' of Sequence 6 of the 'Hunter' path."

Klein was startled when he heard this, but he immediately felt relieved. It is impossible for MI9 to not know about Ambassador Intis's information. With the relationship between Mr. "Tower" and Miss "Judgment", it is normal to hear some information on weekdays.

"It turns out that the Sequence 6 of 'Hunter' is called 'Conspirator'..." Hearing only the name of the potion, Alger felt that he had earned it, so he nodded and revealed some information, "No wonder that ambassador always He was secretly supporting the bloody parade, planning events that would damage the relationship between the nobles and the rich, and spreading rumors to incite the people to confront the government... It should not only be that he came to Loen with a mission, but also that he needed to 'act'. "

"Justice" Audrey asked in surprise: "The 'Hunter' pathway? Is it the pathway that can be interchanged with the 'Witch' pathway...is it possible to change from a female to a male?"

Are you the only follower of this? Abner slandered, nodded to "justice" in affirmation, then looked at the top of the long bronze table, and said:

"Mr. Fool, I can try to complete this task."

I remember that in the original book, Bakerland will hold a farewell ball on Thursday night. It was also that night that Klein and Ms. Sharron killed Rosago and obtained the "All Black Eye"... that was the security guard around Bakerland. When the strength is weakest.

And I will be able to learn the ability of the first Sequence 5 level no later than Wednesday. With that ability as my trump card, coupled with many extraordinary items, it will not be a problem to kill a Bakerland who knows everything about it.

At this time, Abner already had a rough plan in mind. "Judgment" Xio who was diagonally across from him gave him a worried look.

And "Justice" Audrey was also a little nervous and guilty after pondering for a few seconds:

"Mr. Fool, I also want to join this mission, but I don't guarantee success."

Klein, who was sitting in the seat of The Fool, nodded slightly when he heard the words:

"What do you expect to be paid?"

Abner glanced at Xio on the other side of the long table, and didn't directly say anything about asking Fors to join the club. That would be tantamount to self-reporting, and Hugh's pretense would be completely in vain, so he thought for a while, and said: " Remuneration can be determined after completion.”

"The formula of 'Psychiatrist'." On the other side, Audrey blurted out, and then she added with some hesitation, "and the corresponding Extraordinary materials, well... this can be discussed after the task is completed, if it fails, The consumption is borne by me, I, I still owe, owe your loved one a bounty."

Bounty? It turned out that the bounty was given to Miss Justice... 10,000 gold pounds, 5,000 pounds in half... Shrouded in gray mist, Klein thought about how much Ambassador Bakerland was worth for a few seconds, and finally thought that he must be worth more than "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingusgui.

However, it is rare for Miss Justice to admit that she owes the bounty. Considering that buying powerful items or hiring bodyguards will cost a lot of money in the future, Klein almost wants to ask Miss Justice to pay him on the spot. A sum of money for activities...

Fortunately, the timely return of his sanity prevented him from opening the mouth immediately.

Even if you want "funding", you have to talk to Miss "Justice" in private... If you talk about money at the Tarot meeting, do you want to lose face for "The Fool"?
