Mystery: Start with the Reader

The latest website: Said Chamber of Commerce, the deacon of the Church of the Storm, Cordova Royer, led a group of "punishers" to search this Loen-style three-story building carefully, and found many of their contacts with various gangs evidence, and even rescued a dozen girls from nearby islands from underground prisons.

And Alger stood not far away, quietly watching the "Punishers" busy. As an "outsider", he was not suitable to touch "evidence" on this occasion.

"Deacon Royer, we interrogated the captured members of the chamber of commerce separately. Their confessions all showed that before our arrival, a group of people from the chamber of commerce did leave in a hurry, as if they were looking for something... But all we captured were low-level members who don’t even know who the people who lived here before were.”

Wick, the captain of the "Punisher" team, came over and talked to Cordoba about the results of the investigation.

Glancing at the team members who were still busy checking the scene, Cordoba calmed down and asked in a deep voice:

"That group of people left suddenly without warning?"

"Yes." Captain Wick nodded solemnly.

They only briefed the Loen military before the operation. If there is no ghost on their side, then the most likely reason is that the military leaked the secret, allowing the subordinates of "Vice General Disease" to get the news in advance.

Cordoba pondered for a moment, did not continue this topic, and asked instead: "Who is that Extraordinary who escaped under our noses?"

Captain Wick did not answer, but turned to look at another member of the "Punisher" who was responsible for finding clues and restoring the truth by supernatural means.

This team member is not a Beyonder of the "Storm" pathway, but the Sequence 7 "Keeper of the Wisdom" corresponding to the "Reader", that is, "Detective". He saw the captain and the deacon looking over, organized his words, and answered road:

"After 'backtracking', it is roughly judged that she is either a 'witch' herself, who can be 'invisible', or borrowed related magical items to achieve the same effect... Only then did she escape our surprise attack until she passed the surrounding area. Because the footprints behind the blockade revealed a flaw, Captain Alger discovered the clue... But she was quick and our deployment on the periphery was insufficient, so she escaped hastily."

"Is there any suspicious target?" Cordoba asked with a frown.

The "Punisher" team member nodded and said:

"Yes, Hylia, nicknamed 'The Blonde Magician,'

Tracy followed her when she was a 'sick girl', and she was suspected of being a member of the 'Society', with a bounty of 3,000 pounds.

"She is in charge of the intelligence collection and arrangement of Vice Admiral Disease, and she doesn't take many shots. It is impossible to tell which path she is a Beyonder, but she should be Tracy's confidant."

Cordova paced back and forth a few times, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the information we have received is correct, and this chamber of commerce has indeed colluded with 'Vice Admiral Disease'."

While saying this, he nodded to Alger, looked around again, and continued:

"Now, deal with the scene and don't disturb the nearby residents.

"Notify the docks, carefully check the suspicious persons, and not allow those pirates to escape easily.

"Assemble the 'punisher' who is good at tracking, and find out where the escaped woman went as soon as possible.

"Finally, I will submit the task report, hoping to get more and more effective support."

Cordoba restrained his temper and made the most sensible decision.

Alger nodded silently as he listened to the side, feeling that even if he was in Cordoba's position, he would still arrange it this way, at most there would be some discrepancies in the details.

But at this moment, a boundless gray fog appeared in front of his eyes, and then the appearance of four corpses and the "prayer picture" of Mr. "Tower" appeared in front of his eyes.

"Smart Talker" Misol King? The other three seem to be Mithor's subordinates, and they are all pirates with a bounty of around 500 pounds...Mr. "Tower" is cutting off the wings of "Vice Admiral Disease"? He asked me to report to the church, is it to drive them out of this chamber of commerce?

As a former friend of "Vice Admiral Hurricane", Alger recognized Qilingos's former subordinates at a glance, and a series of speculations followed.

However, when he thought of the reward that Mr. "Ta" "paid" to himself, he hesitated, because the "smart talker" is not something he can deal with on the surface, and he took his body to the formal channel to receive the reward It's hard for Jin to explain... and the other relatively "safe" path is also targeted by the "Undead King" because he received the bounty of "Grey Giant" Gravina before, so it is no longer "safe" ...

"Don't be greedy... Greedy people often don't live long!" After warning himself, Alger decided to give up the "Smart Talker" and only wanted the bounty of the other three Extraordinary pirates.

With a plan in mind, Alger took the initiative to ask Cordoba for instructions: "Some pirates may take small boats or simply rely on their underwater mobility to go to nearby small islands... I suggest sending ships to intercept them on the nearby sea... ...well, I can help with that too."

"Good suggestion." Cordoba praised after hearing this. In fact, he also thought of this, and was about to ask the church for support in this regard. However, Alger's proposal still made his eyes shine, after all, the other party was A "private" captain is very independent in the church, and he can act in advance before the approval of the bishop of the suburbs.

"In this way, you immediately sail out to sea to intercept those small boats that do not leave the dock... Well, I can't issue a search warrant for you, so you can carry out investigations in the form of 'robbing' on the surface." After thinking about it, Erdoba ordered.

"Yes, Deacon Cordoba." Alger readily agreed, then clenched his right fist and punched his left chest and said:

"The storm is with you."

"The storm is with you." Cordoba bowed back, watching Alger leave quickly.

Alger seemed to be in a hurry, but he came to the pier calmly, and climbed up his "Blue Avenger" along the rope ladder.

Due to the "urgentness" of time, he naturally did not recall the sailors who disembarked for "entertainment". Anyway, "Ghost Blue Avenger" is a ghost ship, even if only the captain can sail normally.

After the ancient sailing ship built in the Quaternary Era left the port and galloped in the vast Sonia Sea, Alger arranged the ceremony and asked Mister Fool to "give" the other three corpse.

Flipping through the "reward list" in his hand, Alger confirmed that the total "price" of these three people was 1,400 pounds...

"Although it is less than one-third of Misor's, it is still a good income...and you don't have to take risks..."

Alger leisurely poured himself a glass of Lie Langqi, and slowly sipped it.

...

In the ancient hall above the gray mist, Klein glanced at another corpse worth 5,400 pounds. While admiring Mr. "The Hanged Man" for restraining his greed, he couldn't help thinking:

"I don't know if I can discuss it with Mister 'Tower', and next time I 'sacrifice' the corpse, can I not wait for him to die so thoroughly that his spirit has completely dissipated before sending it?

"Let me also 'psychic' for a while, and use some knowledge as a 'shipping fee'...

"However, the operations of 'making demands on sacrificial corpses' are too 'evil gods'. If Mr. Fool really does this, his image in the eyes of the members of the Tarot Society will completely disappear..."

After laughing at himself, Klein spread his spirituality to Mr. "Tower"'s crimson star, and informed him of "The Hanged Man"'s choice.

...

In the study room on the third floor of "Fragrant Manor", Yi Lian sat slumped on the cold floor, her soaked pants made her feel a little uncomfortable, but because she was trapped here by the "Guardian Ritual" and had no change of clothes, she could only silently suffer.

She had tried to destroy the "ritual" a long time ago, but the "fire crow" she shot could not leave a trace on those barriers, which naturally made her give up.

Speaking of which, soon after Abner left, Elaine got rid of the state of "fear", "panic", and "panic", and replaced it with "anger", "shame", and "worries" about the future .

The shame and indignation are naturally due to the pool of water not far away... As a girl from the Sauron family of the former Intis royal family, even though her father is addicted to alcohol, mistresses, marijuana and gambling, it is extremely unreliable, but in the family With the help of her, she has received a good education and etiquette training...

But this time, she was so scared that she lost control of herself in front of a man... and... so much...

You shouldn't drink so much in the afternoon because you're nervous...

Elaine tried her best to look away, not to look at the puddle of water.

Even the intoxicating night with Tracy, the heat of entanglement, the unimaginable joy, never made her so ashamed...

As for "worries", let alone, from the question the man asked her, he knew who she was, and even knew the "Vice Admiral Disease" very well, and his arrival seemed to make him fall into a certain unfavorable situation...

And whether it was the man who had cheated Tracy, or Tracy came here, it was not what I wanted to see...

The latter means that she will be taken back and be kept under stricter surveillance... As for the former, she can't tell how that man will treat her... Judging from the terrifying aura he gave off when he met before, he doesn't Like a gentleman who is nice to a pretty lady...

Will I be silenced by him? Or be sold to some unbearable places?

Just as Elaine was thinking wildly with regret, the door of the study was pushed open, and then a man with light blue eyes, brown curly hair, and a pair of copper-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose walked in.

He first looked at Elaine, and then turned his gaze to the pool of water...

Seeing this, Yi Lian's face flushed red, she tried her best to calm down, and said in a trembling tone:

"What do you want to do to me?"

The man with brown curly hair smiled when he heard the words, then took out four boxes from his pocket, opened them casually, showed the four Extraordinary characteristics in front of Elaine's eyes, pointed to them and said:

"Ma'am, it's not what I want to do to you...

"It's...you caused me trouble!"
