Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Surprise: Beginning with the Reader ()"

Jorwood District, in the garden villa at No. 18 Kingston Street.

Abner opened his eyes and sat up from the bed with a look of joy on his face.

After becoming a "polymath", after nearly three weeks, he finally learned the extraordinary ability of the first Sequence 5 level - "dream shuttle".

The reason why I can learn so quickly is because I have already learned the pre-extraordinary ability of this "spectator" path skill, and I have already mastered the "principle"; secondly, there is Judy's mother, a demigod The author demonstrates in person, and naturally "analyzes" more thoroughly.

"After learning this ability, after I assassinate Bakerland, I will be able to escape more easily..."

Thinking of this in his heart, Abner looked at the time and found that it was almost twelve noon, so he planned to go downstairs to the restaurant for lunch.

But at this moment, a hazy gray mist appeared in front of his eyes again, and he vaguely saw a figure with a blue seaweed head in a prayer posture.

"'Blood-stained jewelry box'...Evaluation...1,500 pounds..."

Abner ignored the details, and quickly understood what Alger meant.

Estimated at £1,500? In other words, I have to pay an agency fee of 225 pounds? Well, I'd better get it in hand and see the function. If it's useless, it's better to ask "The Hanged Man" to help sell it.

Thinking of this in his heart, he first praised "The Fool", then sealed the room spiritually, and held a ceremony to ask for "gift".

As the gust of spiritual vortex gradually dissipated, a hollow jewelry box made of gold and extremely exquisite in shape appeared on the altar.

After a while, Abner closed the "Pure White Eye", nodded in satisfaction, and then arranged the "sacrifice" ceremony, and counted out 225 pounds in cash, and sent the gray mist through the "Gate of Summoning".

For Abner, the function of this jewelry box is quite suitable.

You know, because of the existence of the "Pure White Eye", he has a high status and is not afraid of divination... But the items in his hand do not have this convenience, and others may indirectly locate him through the items.

And although he also has the means to create similar anti-divination and anti-psychic effects, but it requires the cooperation of rituals, not to mention troubles, and it is time-sensitive, and he cannot carry items with him...

With this "blood-stained jewelry box", at least some items that would not arouse the interest of demigods can be put in it to isolate others from coveting.

Just like the "Black Snake" he met in the sewer yesterday. At that time, he only dared to pick up the "confession" of the other party, because this revolver was bought by "Black Snake" privately, and not many people knew about it, let alone knew about it. I understand that it is difficult to divine it when the preconditions are insufficient. After all, not everyone has a "hack" like Klein, so Abner dared to take the "confession" away.

As for the extraordinary characteristics of "Black Snake", because the spirit of the other party remains in the characteristics, it is easy to be divined by those who are familiar with "Black Snake", so he has to give up...

After sacrificing the gold pound, Abner put the jewelry box in his usual backpack. As for the so-called curse in its negative effects, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Just kidding, he didn't care about the curse of the "serial killer" when he was alive, so he would be afraid of the "box"?

At lunch, Xio, who was off "shift", came to eat again. While enjoying the food, the two chatted about their respective experiences.

After dinner, Hugh went home to catch up on sleep, while Abner turned into a giant bear again and came to the abandoned prison under the embassy, ​​making final preparations for tomorrow's assassination.

Yes, he decided to follow the original book and kill the ambassador before and after his farewell ball!

After all, it’s too early to kill, Rosago may not go to Klein again, it’s not a big deal if Mr. Fool can’t get the potion formula, but it’s a big trouble if the “World” can’t get online...

But the assassination was too late, and Rosago didn't get a reply. Knowing that he was going to kill the detective in the end, the ambassador might report the news that Sherlock is an Extraordinary to the authorities. By then, Mister Fool might run away again. .

Since the time of the original book was just right, Abner also "pressed" the countdown "button" for Bakerland's life.

...

In the detached house that Xio and Forsi rented.

Forsi, who was lying on the sofa watching the latest issue of "Ladies' Aesthetics", heard a voice coming from the entrance. She stretched her neck to take a look, and then saw Xio Xing who was a little tired but still energetic. into the living room.

"You didn't come back all night and all morning... Are the official members of MI9 so busy?" Forsi first sighed, and then said with some admiration, "You said before that before your father passed away, you At home, I don’t even want to get out of bed, except to go to the bathroom, food and drink are brought to the side by servants...

"But now you are able to go out very early every day and come home at night... No, you may not come back at night! No matter whether it is rainstorm or fog, nothing has changed... You really have perseverance!" I couldn't do it. arrive……

Xio glanced at Forsi, shook her head and said, "It's just that I'm busy these few days... I'm a member of the 'Domestic Security and Anti-espionage Team', and I'm only busy with espionage cases... and such cases are not common of."

"The espionage case... oops!" Fors rolled over and fell to the ground, then asked uneasily after getting up, "Wouldn't you be violating the confidentiality regulations by telling me this?"

After thinking about it for a while, he asked back, "Will you say it casually?"

"No." Forsi said with certainty.

"Then there's no problem. I'll tell Abner more about the situation." Xio replied indifferently.

Fors was speechless for a moment, and after a few seconds, she chose to forget the topic and asked instead: "Miss Audrey asked us to meet at Viscount Glaint's house in the evening, and there seems to be some commission... Are you going?" ?”

Xio yawned, and was about to catch up on sleep, but when he heard this, he stopped in his tracks.

Miss "Justice" seems to have also accepted an assassination mission in the "Tarot Club"... Is she looking for us for this matter?

Well, she definitely didn't expect Fors and I to assassinate Bakerland... So, that lady wants to entrust some strong man through us, right?

Thinking of this, a name appeared in Xio's mind.

"Mr. A!"

Among the Extraordinary beings I have contacted with Forsi, except for Abner, I am afraid that only Mr. A has enough strength to assassinate a country's ambassador!

And Miss Audrey didn't know that Abner was Mr. "Tower", nor did she know his true strength, so the only person she wanted to entrust was "Mr. A".

When she was a wild Extraordinary before, Xio didn't know what Mr. A's background was, and she never asked Abner related questions... so she didn't know how scary the other party was.

But after becoming a full-fledged member of MI9, Xio already understood the meaning of similar letter codes... that represents the envoy of the "Aurora Society"!

So now Hugh doesn't really want Forsi to contact such a dangerous person, and if Miss Audrey really entrusts "Mr. A", it may affect Abner's assassination plan.

As her thoughts flashed, Xio came up with an idea, and she pretended to be embarrassed and said to Fors: "I have something to do later, I'm afraid I won't be able to go... Well, please reply to Miss Audrey for me and ask her if she is free on Friday. "

Obviously, Xio's idea was the word "drag". When eating at noon, she already knew that Abner planned to do it tomorrow, that is, on Thursday...Miss Audrey who didn't know this would probably agree.

Fors didn't think much about it, mainly because she wouldn't be too lazy to go out if she didn't want to leave, and Miss Audrey's commission didn't seem to be in a hurry, so she nodded and said, "I'll send someone to Grelin in a while." The Viscount has a letter."

...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, in Earl Hall's mansion.

After the servant of the viscount family who delivered the letter was sent away, Audrey murmured to herself: "Hugh and Forsi are very busy recently, and they even missed the opportunity to make money...but Friday should be fine, too." 'Although Mr. has already started preparations, he won't act rashly for a while...and Bakerland will not officially leave his job until at least next week and return to Intis...There is still plenty of time.

"And even if Mister 'Tower' made the first move, I also played my part..."

Audrey thought about it, and her eyes gradually brightened.

She stood up, walked towards the door, and joked to the golden retriever dog sitting outside bored:

"Susie, you don't look like a lady."

Susie looked around vigilantly, sniffed, and then said:

"This is the most standard action in hound training."

But you're not a hound...

Just when Audrey was about to continue discussing the "breed" issue with Susie, a thick gray mist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and there was a figure perched on an ancient chair, looking down and speaking in a low voice.

A moment later, after listening to Mister Fool's words, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, and happily hummed a cheerful melody.

2,000 pounds... to give Mister Fool's funds for the activities of the Blessed One... In this way, I have finally paid off part of the debt I owed to that "Blessed One"... I feel a lot more relaxed...

Audrey's dimples were faintly thought about.

Her accumulated uninvested annuity balance plus the remaining rewards looks like 13,000 pounds, but if she uses too much at once, it will definitely attract the attention of Earl Hall, and even Bavat Bank will do it. Certain investigations...but a mere 2,000 pounds, which is only a month's pocket money, is no problem at all.

...

In Duke Negan's mansion, the capable blond secretary frowned after hearing the report from his confidants, and said to himself, "Miss Audrey took out 2,000 pounds and put them at home? What's wrong with this? Order before going to bed." Will you be happy with the banknotes?"

...

At the same time, Klein, who received 2,000 pounds, was seriously counting the banknotes with the "scent" of ink, with a very happy expression.
