Mystery: Start with the Reader

At six o'clock in the evening, Passenger Terminal 3 of Indo Port.

Wearing a black robe, a black hat, and a fine black veil to cover her face, Jane carried her luggage and walked down the gangway from the sail-powered hybrid passenger ship "Seagull".

Behind her was a lion that was all white but had a colorful mane.

...In the eyes of others, it is just a jumping little orange cat.

Because it was already November 21st, it was already dark at 6pm in many places. Many passengers who disembarked lit their lanterns or went to the nearby hotel bar outside the pier.

However, darkness is not a problem for an Extraordinary who is in Sequence 6 of the "God of Death" path. Jane even summoned a local "cutie" who drowned in the sea.

After some "friendly" communication, the latter happily became Jane's guide and led her to the location agreed with Abner outside the pier.

Jane looked around and soon turned her attention to a gentleman who was half leaning on the carriage.

Although she didn't recognize the face, Jane could still tell that it was Abner from the way he looked at her, his familiar smile, and the copper whistle in his hand.

The gentleman obviously saw Jane at this time. He smiled slightly and opened the door of the carriage.

Seeing this, Jane just looked at him and boarded the carriage with the lion.

The gentleman who opened the door was naturally Abner. After instructing the coachman to return to the club, he also entered the carriage and sat opposite Jane.

"Abner, I feel like I have to get to know you again every time I meet." Looking at the unfamiliar face in her eyes, Jane joked with a smile after blocking the surrounding area with her spirituality.

"A gentleman said something similar to you a few days ago." Abner responded with a smile while glancing at the orange cat without trace.

The opponent's "disguise" is so clever that even Abner can't see through it without turning on his "Pure White Eyes".

However, Lion Leon seemed to have no interest in talking at the moment and had been closing his eyes to rest.

"It was actually seasick, and it recovered on its own after a while... Haha, it's okay for inland seas like the Sea of ​​​​Jian. When it crossed the stormy sea, it couldn't maintain its 'disguise' and was almost discovered..." Jane covered her head Mouth smiled.

Abner was stunned after hearing this, and murmured: Seasickness... This may be related to its brain being "oppressed" for a long time, its balance is not good, and seasickness is normal...

As if hearing Abner's muttering, Lion Lion rolled his eyes humanely, but he was really in no mood to argue and still lay weakly on his seat.

Jane took out a night grass from her bag and put it next to Lion Leon's nose, and then chatted with Abner about their respective experiences after leaving "Daniel's Labyrinth".

Rescued by Bruna, the former princess of the Balam Empire? I remember seeing the name Bruna in Russell's diary... The little girl who was deceived by Russell back then was actually a demigod?

Bernadette has also arrived in the Southern Continent... and is going to explore somewhere with Bruna... She missed the Backlund Great Smog Incident in the original work. Is it also because of this incident?

He brought the daughter of a friend of Maric's from the Southern Continent back to Loen, but Maric did not let Jane bring the girl to Backlund. Instead, he settled her in Pulitzer Harbor... Maric felt that Backlund was very beautiful. The danger may affect that girl...

Encountering a bearded man outside Backlund Station, Lion Leon noticed that he was carrying items used by Russell, but was unable to spy on his fate... Was this a chance encounter with Mr. Fool?

Thinking of this, Abner looked thoughtful.

——It's not that he doesn't know how to hide his expression, but that there's no need to hide it in front of Jane.

Seeing this, Jane asked curiously: "Abner, do you know that bearded man?"

Recognize... that's a colleague... in every sense of the word... Abner complained in his mind, but said on the surface: "I guess that's the new famous detective the teacher mentioned, Sherlock Moriarty. .”

Detective Essinger did send a letter to Abner through Mr. Gaston before, telling him that he had purchased the "Heart of the Tree of Elders" so that he no longer had to pay attention... In addition, he also mentioned Talking about some cases, one of them talked about Sherlock, praising him as a "sharp" detective like Abner.

Metaphysics, cheating, of course "sharp"! That’s why we are called “peers”.

"Famous detective..." Jane nodded thoughtfully, took a serious look at Abner, and comforted, "Abner, you don't have to worry at all, he is definitely not as famous as you... You have to know your current His fame has spread to the sea, but he is limited to Backlund."

Jane, you misunderstood. I am not competing with Mr. Fool... Abner twitched the corner of his mouth and decisively changed the topic, turning to talk about part of his own experience.

This mainly focuses on the nightmares that connect to the underworld there.

Since Mr. Azik is not going to act with him tomorrow night, he intends to invite Jane to go to the ruins together. Complete the "performance" arranged by Ms. Crossfia.

This will allow Jane to gain more knowledge; secondly, she may be able to use the special environment there to heal Jane's spirit.

Although she pretended to be an ordinary person in front of him, Abner knew in his heart that the other party's spirit was actually a little abnormal...

After taking her revenge, she may have recovered somewhat... but it has not been eradicated and there are still quite a few hidden dangers left.

While they were talking, the carriage had already entered an extremely vast park in the south of the city, passed through a field, and stopped in front of a three-story building.

This is a rest "private room" provided by the club for gold card users.

Sitting in the spacious restaurant, Abner cut a piece of foie gras, dipped it in the sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. At the same time, he looked at Lion Lyon who regained his energy after smelling the aroma of the food, and asked casually:

"Why did you come all the way to find me?"

Lion Leon tied a napkin for himself, skillfully picked up a piece of bacon with a fork and put it in his mouth, and then answered:

"It's because of the message that Russell guy gave to the person who accepted my brain... Hehe, I didn't want to be Russell's messenger at that time, so I didn't tell you...

"But after I was far away from you, I suddenly realized that even though I had given my brain to you, just because of those words, the 'rules' he imposed on me still remained... and even made me feel as if my brain had not been taken away. Same as before, with all kinds of discomforts!”

I see... He, I guess you won't actually disobey Russell's instructions, you just want to cause trouble... But you didn't expect that I would land so far away from Inns Harbor, right?

With this thought in mind, Abner put down the knife in his hand and asked with a smile: "So, what exactly does Russell want you to bring to me?"

Lion Lion did not answer directly. He glanced at Jane, and then used secret techniques to directly pull himself and Abner into a state where reality and the spiritual world were superimposed, and then solemnly said:

"Roselle asked me to tell the person who got my brain:

“The opening spell of the ‘Moon Card’ in the ‘Card of Blasphemy’ is ‘Aitna’!

"This is part of the 'Silver Moon Project'!"

After hearing these words, Abner almost couldn't keep the fake smile on his face, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart:

Why do you need to tell me the opening spell of the "Moon Card"? That card is very dangerous. Is Russell eager to get someone into trouble after being contaminated?

What does "Aetna" mean? It sounds familiar, but I can't remember... the name of one of Russell's sweethearts or illegitimate daughters?

Finally..."Silver Moon Project"? What is this? It doesn't sound like Russell's style... Could it be another plan similar to "Daniel's Labyrinth" that requires multiple time-travelers from different eras to work together to complete it?

But it's just a name, how do I know what it is? At least give me some tips...

Or, Russell thinks that I will definitely understand it by then... Is this also the judgment of the "Disaster Seal"?

By the time Abner came back to his senses, the lion Leon had swept away the food in front of him like a whirlwind. Then he took out a blood bottle from nowhere and threw it in front of Abner, saying:

"This is the blood promised to you..."
