Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Since the 'spirit' has been activated, she has lost her function as my 'resurrection' carrier and can only be used as an ordinary clone..."

"But because of the error in transmitting memories before, she only has you in her mind... She lacks a lot of common sense, so even if she is a clone, she is not qualified...

"After much thought, I think it's better to just give her to you. Anyway, she knows you better than I do!

"And I think you should be short of trustworthy subordinates around you to help you manage your property."

Judy squinted her eyes, pushed Miss Plant in front of Abner, and smiled teasingly,

"By the way, you can't use her to do weird things."

Strange thing... To be honest, I wouldn't have imagined it if you didn't tell me... Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he had regained his composure. He was also sure that Judy just wanted to have fun, so he glanced at the person being After Miss Plant lowered her head, she said helplessly: "Judy, don't make such a joke..."

"To be found out so quickly? I also want to see if you will be 'happy' to accept her... You are truly a great detective!" Judy blinked, seeming a little disappointed.

Sorry, I can simulate "mind reading"... Also, the weird smile on your face is exactly the same as Ms. Crossfia when she was playing tricks on people! Should I say that you are worthy of being a real mother and daughter?

Unfortunately, I used to think you were "silly"... but being "silly" doesn't mean you're not "bearish"!

That's right, the lady in front of her was the person who once poisoned her father's beer. She even recorded the "faceless man" ability more than a dozen times in her extraordinary items, just to blame herself after she made a mistake...

It seems that I haven't been "pricked" before, maybe because I'm not familiar enough... Now is she regarded as one of her own?

Cursing inside, Abner shook his head slightly, not knowing whether he should be happy or depressed.

On the other side, Judy quickly got rid of the trace of disappointment, put a smile on her face again, and returned to her "silly" state.

She played with her hair, then looked at Abner and said:

"Actually, I want to ask you to take her to my mother... Well, because the memory cannot be instilled again, it is too troublesome to teach her common sense. It is better to let my mother operate directly in the subconscious.

"As for the real gift of thanks I give you, my mother will pay for it...

"Of course, I wouldn't mind if you just detain her as a thank you gift."

you do not mind? Shouldn't we ask Miss Plant her own opinion? Although her body is a plant, now that her spirit has awakened, she can no longer treat it as a dead thing... although she may not have these concepts in her mind right now.

Rubbing his forehead, Abner did not say what was in his heart. After all, even if he really asked Miss Plant, she would most likely not refuse as her mind was filled with memories of herself.

As for how Miss Judy knew that she was connected to her mother, it was not surprising. After all, he had used the alchemical life "cloak" before. According to Ms. Crossfia, it was her husband's proud work... ...Judy must have known her.

Moreover, maybe there is a special contact method between mother and daughter, and they have communicated with each other.

Abner thought for a while and felt that the deal between him and Crossfia had not been completed yet. He still had to rely on the other party for the ceremony to advance to Sequence 5. It would be a good idea to bring Miss Plant there, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, I will take her to Ms. Crossfia's place..."

Seeing Abner nod, Judy narrowed her eyes happily, and then took out a flower pot from her bag.

There was a strange miniature tree planted in the flower pot, with vine branches twining around it, but the leaves were not very lush... maybe because of the winter.

"This is her true body. Holding this pot of tree will make her obey orders... But she is still young and cannot leave this tree too far." Judy said after passing the flower pot to Abner's hand. .

"How... how do you raise this?" Abner took a closer look and found that it was not a species he was familiar with.

That's right, this tree was left by Ms. Lamia, the existence suspected of being Lilith's clone. Even Ms. Crossfia said it was a strange plant, and it was definitely not an ordinary species.

If Judy and Karen hadn't been present, he would have turned on his "Pure White Eyes" to study it.

"She will take care of herself, so you don't have to worry about it." Judy pointed at Miss Plant, who was like her twin sister, and replied with a smile.

After that, Karen took out the gift that Captain Arsenoff asked him to hand over, which was a box of holy ointment that shone with orange-red light.

"This is the holy ointment that the captain used to prepare the 'Holy Object'. After applying it to extraordinary items, it can effectively weaken the negative effects of use... Of course, after each application, depending on the strength of the negative effects, Effects range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

"In addition, the effect of this box of holy ointment will gradually weaken over time. It will completely lose its effect after one year and become an ordinary weapon maintenance ointment."

Karen gave it to Abner after a brief introduction.

The thank-you gift from Captain Arsenoff is more serious... Although Karen's gold card is quite good... Abner muttered a few words secretly, and then put the "Holy Ointment", "Gold Card" and "Flower Pot" "Put it away together.

Next, Abner invited Karen and the two ladies to have dinner. However, because their "Desolate" team had a new mission and time was tight, they could only let the only remaining plant lady do it. Try the delicacies of "Aroma Manor".

…

Port Enmat, in a manor in the southern suburbs.

The young and beautiful Mrs. Parnis personally picked up a plate of charcoal-grilled veal steak from the kitchen, and also took the red wine foie gras and vegetable salad, and then returned to her bedroom with satisfaction.

The servants were not surprised by this. My wife had the habit of eating late night snacks, and the delicacies in the kitchen were originally prepared for her.

After returning to the bedroom, Mrs. Panis closed the door and placed the plate with food on the small table. However, she did not rush to enjoy it. Instead, she walked to a wardrobe on the other side of the room and gently followed a certain pattern. Knocked up.

Soon, the closet door was opened from the inside, and a handsome man with a haggard expression appeared in front of Mrs. Parnis.

He looked around the bedroom nervously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw there was no one else.

"My dear, it's time for supper," Mrs. Parnis said softly in a clear voice.

"Lizzy, I didn't expect that you were the only one willing to hide me in the end... You know, my other friends are avoiding me now, and many of them even chose to betray my whereabouts! Even the family members can't be trusted...

"Fortunately...I still have you!"

The man was a little emotional as he spoke, and he immediately hugged Mrs. Parnis and kissed her passionately.

Mrs. Parnis's body was still a little stiff at first, but she quickly covered it up and began to cater to the man's movements.

The kiss was eventually interrupted by the "gurgling" sound coming from the man's stomach. His eyes unconsciously looked at the fragrant food on the table, and he swallowed hard.

Mrs. Parnis smiled when she saw this, and personally helped him carry the plate of food to the secret room behind the closet.

The man did not immediately pick up the tempting piece of veal steak. Instead, he first found an excuse to send Mrs. Panis out, and then used extraordinary items to test the meal.

"It seems that Lizzy really didn't betray me...she still loves me as always...

"I have to consolidate her love for me and use her to cover my whereabouts... After I recover from my injuries, I still have to return to Backlund... I have to go and complain to His Majesty in person about my grievances!

"Expose Prince Mountbatten's crimes!"

After muttering a few words to himself, the handsome man, Baron Larry, who had been tracked by MI9 for many days, could no longer bear the hunger in his belly. He picked up the steak with a fork and put it in his mouth to chew.

——The pursuit these days has already made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he has not even had a full meal. If he hadn't been thinking about "consolidating" his love with Mrs. Parnis after dinner, he would have gone to sleep directly after eating.

On the other side, in the bathroom attached to the bedroom, Mrs. Parnis, who came to take a bath first as ordered by Baron Larry, suddenly took off a mask from her face after soaking in the bathtub. Then, a picture was reflected in the hanging mirror in the bathroom. Unlike Mrs. Parnis' pretty face.

That face belonged to the "Wizard" Bianca from the martial arts school of the Intis embassy in Loen.

After she had previously accepted the task of getting close to Baron Larry and extracting secrets from Mr. Special Envoy, she used the identity prepared for her by the Special Envoy to replace the real Mrs. Parnis and live in the manor in Port Enmat.

She was actually living extremely comfortably these days, wishing she could really live as Mrs. Parnis for the rest of her life... But Baron Larry's sudden visit broke her fantasy and put her into a "working" state.

"I will definitely have to fight with him for a while... Fortunately, this mask is extremely magical, and it can actually change into the real Mrs. Parnis from the inside out...

"Hey, I hope that after this mission is successfully completed, I can get what I want...

"Even if I can't, I must first clean up my reputation as a 'bad luck' and a 'conqueror'... It shouldn't happen again, right? Mr. Special Envoy doesn't seem to accept my surrender..."

While thinking this, she stood up from the bathtub, wiped her body, and put the mask back on.

…

Backlund, Embassy of Intis.

After listening to the secretary's report, the special envoy Mr. Owen asked with a smile: "So, Baron Larry has arrived at Port Leer 1 and has stayed at Bianca's place?"

"Yes, Mr. Special Envoy... the 'Wizard of Doom' just brought us news through the 'messenger'." The secretary nodded.

"Very good... you tell Bianca to try your best to persuade Baron Larry to return to Backlund, and our people will fully cooperate!" The special envoy thought for a moment and then ordered.

"Yes, sir." The secretary responded first, but then asked hesitantly, "Sir, I don't quite understand..."

"Don't you understand why I didn't arrest Baron Larry immediately and ask for the secret?" As he said that, Mr. Special Envoy smiled and shook his head, then asked, "Do you really think Larry will know any secrets?"

"Could it be that... he was thrown out to confuse the situation?" The secretary was stunned when he heard the words, but he quickly realized what he meant by the special envoy's words.

"Although I don't know what the Loen royal family wants to hide, I can't let them succeed easily... When Baron Larry comes to Backlund, we will push him to the surface and use him to test something... Haha, I want to see what Roen’s true purpose is.”

Having said this, Mr. Special Envoy looked at the investigation data about Prince Edsac at hand, and silently added in his heart: Although Roen is one of the centers of development in the current era determined by the president... But in the future, While influencing the trend of the times, we must try our best to sabotage Roen's plans and weaken their power...

…

Fusac, in a cave on a peak north of Indo Port, a "door" surrounded by sparks appeared out of thin air, and then, the figures of Abner and Miss Plant stepped out of it.

Feeling the cold wind blowing in front of her, Miss Plant tightened the fur coat that Abner had prepared for her before departure... After all, Fusac's dimension is higher, and the weather is much colder than Byam...

Miss Plant also claims that she is a tropical species that is afraid of cold.

——Although Abner couldn't "analyze" what the tree of her body was with her "Pure White Eyes".

Let Miss Plant hide in the cave first, while Abner himself "flyed" back to the hot spring hotel on another mountain under triple "invisibility" to find out if anything happened here.

After all, he left Fussac last Sunday night. He happened to meet the red-haired girl who was suspected to be from the Einhorn family, and was vaguely aware of her whereabouts. There was no guarantee that she wouldn't call someone to ambush her here.

However, after careful investigation, Abner did not find any other suspicious people. Only in a hot spring pool, the red-haired girl he met before was taking a comfortable bath while teasing Greedy on the other side of the pool. Curly baboons enjoying hot water...
