Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Surprise: Beginning with the Reader ()"

Kang Si didn't go into too much detail with "Outsider" Audrey, and didn't mention that "Conspirator" belongs to the "Hunter" path.

However, Audrey knew about this a long time ago, so she skipped the topic and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Cotton Surrey here today? Who is he? Can you introduce me?" ? Hehe, if Dad agrees, I also want to make friends with his granddaughter."

"Mr. Surrey was also invited by the Earl, and he is over there in the dining room. Well, I have contacts with him, so I can introduce him to you." Cons said this, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "However, I advise you to think carefully about making friends with Mr. Surrey's granddaughter."

"Why?" Audrey stopped and asked inexplicably.

"Mr. Sarri's granddaughter is named Fanny. She grew up in Intis and only came to Backlund in the last one or two years... Miss Intis is not as reserved as Ruen. According to the information I got, She once spent the night at the 'Hero Detective' house with several girls..." Kong Si said in a low voice.

Several girls... Is the private life of "Hero Detective" so messy? I remember that at the last ball at Duke Negan's house, Emma and Miss Macht were jealous of him... By the way, Emma is the youngest daughter of Viscount Horatio... She met Bray through Fanny Eun Detective? Does Kang Si have her in the girl from that night?

Did Xio and Forsi know about this?

Audrey gossiped quietly in her heart, and then heard Kang Si continue to say: "By the way, if you meet 'Detective Hero' at a dance or banquet, don't be fooled by his sweet words. Even if he praises you, it's definitely not what he really thinks, he just wants to take the opportunity to get close to you..."

I don't like hearing your words that much... Audrey pursed her lips, thought for a few seconds and said, "I want to go to the bathroom first, and when I come back, you can bring me to meet that respected man Mr Surrey."

"Dear beautiful lady, it's my honor." Kang Si made a casual gesture in a very gentlemanly manner.

...

In the underground abandoned prison of the Intis embassy, ​​when Abner was constantly "analyzing" the "Guardian Ritual" through a thin floor, he suddenly found that his eyes seemed to become unreal.

Knowing that this was the harbinger of "The Fool" touching his "Crimson Star", Abner hastily closed his "Pure White Eyes", so as not to accidentally "analyze" the gray fog and see something terrible.

Soon, a dense gray-white mist appeared before his eyes, and in the hazy gray-white mist, there was now a vague figure wearing a long court dress.

She maintained a prayerful posture and kept saying:

"Please tell Mister 'Tower'...

"Cotton Surrey appeared at the ball at Earl Wolfe's."

Seeing this, Abner put his hands on his chest, lowered his head and said:

"Praise you, Mister Fool!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everything he heard and saw disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

Now that the host of the ceremony is confirmed to be absent, I must act as soon as possible!

After being silent for a few seconds, Abner deduced where the loophole in the "Guardian Ritual" was at the moment, and then quickly drew a "door" on the roof of the dungeon with prepared paint.

This underground prison is not too far from an underground wine cellar of the embassy in the longitudinal direction. There is no need to use "underground sneaking", and "opening the door" is enough to pass through the barrier of that layer of soil.

Because Abner took advantage of the inspection loophole in the "Guardian Ritual", the unattended ceremony did not find the infiltrator immediately, so Abner calmly twisted a handful of flashing fluorescent powder from the dark pocket at his waist, He sprinkled it on himself in conjunction with the spell, and then the outline of his body was completely erased by an eraser like a line drawn by a pencil.

It is not the ritual that can see through the witch's "invisibility", but the ambassador himself who holds the "Puppet Master" sealed item, and Rosago.

And now the former went to the earl's ball,

The latter is still dealing with MI9 outside, and is not in the embassy.

Relying on his understanding of the ceremony, Abner quickly came to a room on the basement floor.

This room is not only one of the three cores of the "Guardian Ritual", but also a storage room for storing sealed items.

With the help of the "Pure White Eye", Abner easily broke the seal of the storage room, and sneaked in without alarming anyone.

There are not many sealed items in the storage room, there are about a dozen items, most of them are "3" level, and there are only two items at "2" level, one of which is the item related to the "Guardian" that is the core of the ceremony .

Abner didn't take those sealed items, firstly he didn't like them, and secondly, he was afraid of scaring the snake... So he not only didn't take them, but also took out the spiritual materials he carried with him, and quietly arranged them around the altar.

Those spiritual materials first flashed a gleam of light, then faded and disappeared.

This is not only the transformation of "ceremony", but also its "bribery" and "association".

After doing this, Abner checked again, making sure that it was difficult for others to see the flaws, then he went out of the storage room, sealed it up again, and then continued to walk to a room in the corner of the second floor.

That room is the second core, which also serves as the embassy's archives.

Just when Abner was about to repeat the old trick and unblock the second core, a slender figure suddenly walked up the stairs from the first floor, and sneaked to the door of the archive room.

Afraid of being sensed by the spirit, Abner didn't dare to look at the lady who was coming, and only glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

She is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with reddish-brown hair and a ponytail. She can't see her facial features clearly, but she vaguely feels that her eyes are very clear and beautiful.

That female military officer personally promoted by Bakerland? Ms. Bianca, the "wizard" of unknown origin? What is she doing here?

Just when Abner was wondering, Ms. Bianca took out a card with complicated patterns from her pocket when she saw that there was no one around.

She stuck the card in a recessed position on the door of the archive room, and then the door's seal was temporarily invalidated after a "buzz".

The card in Bianca's hand was also burned at the same time.

After the "wizard" lady put away all the ashes of the card, she opened the door and walked into the file room.

"It seems to be a counterfeit 'pass'... This lady is actually a spy? But although the ambassador is lecherous, he is also a cautious person. He really didn't investigate the identity of Miss 'Wizard' thoroughly?"

While he was puzzled, Abner did not hesitate, and followed Bianca's footsteps into the room.

Miss "Wizard" took out a lot of materials as soon as she entered the door, and held a ceremony to temporarily block the monitoring of one of the bookshelves by the "Core" altar.

Then, she walked quickly to the bookshelf, pulled out a "document" from it, and read it carefully.

About two minutes later, Bianca closed the file and packed up all the materials, then left the file room unhurriedly and restored the seal on the door.

She really is a spy... It seems that Bakerland was plotted early on... Who is this Bianca? MI9? Or intelligence personnel from other countries?

Guessing in his heart, Abner's subordinates kept taking out various materials, and once again completed the "connection" with the "core".

But just when Abner was about to leave, the door of the archive room was pushed open again... Then, a man in his thirties with obvious red hair came in tiptoe... His target seemed to be Bi Anka agrees, and it is also the information on the previous bookshelf.

This person... I seem to have seen it in the information that Xiu compiled... It seems to be Childe Sauron, and he is a "provocateur" of Sequence 8...

Could it be that even members of the Sauron family were bought off?

Could it be that the military attaches of this embassy are all so-so?

After slandering a few words, Abner had no choice but to temporarily control this "core", temporarily suppressing the "alarm" that was about to sound, and working hard to delete its related information records.

This "provocateur" is obviously far behind the previous "Wizard" lady in terms of ritual magic. Even if she has a magical item that shields her own existence, she is still detected by the inspection function of the ritual.

However, although his level of ritual magic is not high, he is proficient in his own abilities...

At least, Abner, who had to work hard to help him deal with the aftermath, at this moment...

Feel like you've been "challenged"!
