Mystery: Start with the Reader

Tingen, inside the Raphael Cemetery.

The full moon hung high, and the crimson moonlight shone on a tombstone, making the black-and-white photo of Dunn with a high hairline a bit brighter.

Dai Li stood in front of Dunn's grave, quietly staring at the photo on the stone tablet, then moving her eyes downward, she gently read his epitaph:

"The true guardian;"

"The most trustworthy companion;"

"Forever Captain."

I hope that what is buried here is just the past you are carrying...Goddess...please let my expectations not be disappointed!

Dai Li drew four dots on her chest clockwise to draw a crimson moon. Then she took out a bag of bones from the package she carried and threw it to the ground. She used her "resurrection" ability to wake up the skeleton and ordered it to dig the grave.

The "resurrection" of the "Necromancer" only temporarily awakens skeletons or living corpses. It does not have real will and life, and can only be used to do some physical work... If the coffin of the Nighthawk is not specially treated, the undead cannot pass through it. Toru, Dai Li doesn't need to go to such trouble at all.

As the soil was turned over, the thick and long iron nails fell from the coffin lid again. What caught Dai Li's eyes was an empty coffin with nothing in it!

Dai Li's body was trembling, and her face was full of surprise, but tears flowed down her cheeks, falling drop by drop into the empty black coffin.

She watched quietly for a long time before finally drawing a crimson moon on her chest again. Then she wiped away her tears and began to direct the skeleton to refill the coffin and clean up the traces...

By the time Nighthawk Fry passed by, Dunn's grave had already been restored to its original state.

——He saw Dai Li coming to pay homage to the captain before, so he deliberately stayed away to give them time to be alone.

Seeing that there were still tears on Dai Li's face, Fry hesitated for a moment and finally persuaded him: "Da Li... the captain definitely doesn't want to see you so sad..."

At this moment, Dai Li suppressed her excitement so much that she wanted to share it with others. She hid her face in her hood and said in a low voice, "I won't cry anymore..." before meeting him again.

But where did he go? And why did you play "Iron Man"? Moreover, what does his resurrection have to do with the existence called "The Fool"?

"That's good..." Frye was not good at words and didn't know what to say. He could only look at the captain's tombstone silently.

…

In Indo Port, a steam ship belonging to the Church of the God of War is docked at a private dock.

Siltana, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt someone pushing her. She impatiently opened the hand pushing her, but then a bone-chilling cold feeling spread from her neck throughout her body.

Sirtana suddenly woke up.

She opened her eyes and found a seventeen-year-old girl smiling evilly and inserting her cold fingers into her clothes along her neck.

This girl's name is Jenny. She is a new member of the "Demon Hunter" team and a Sequence 9 warrior. This time she also went on a mission together.

"Captain, Sister Sirtana is awake." The girl seemed to be afraid that Sirtana would settle the score with her, so she quickly took out her hand and ran towards the half-giant who was over two and a half meters tall.

Sirtana was still a little confused at the moment. She remembered that she had just been drinking with someone who might be her ancestor. She seemed to have said some words, and then she woke up and returned to the cabin...

So, it was all a dream?

I just don’t know if this is an ordinary dream or a dream deliberately arranged by others...

She gradually smoothed her thoughts, and just about to get up, she suddenly found something in her hand. She raised it and saw that it turned out to be a bottle of Sonia blood wine with a beautiful bottle!

This...isn't that a dream? Have I really met my ancestors? He also gave me a bottle of wine?

Just when Sirtana was stunned, the half-giant captain's voice rang in her ears: "The gift you received from Iron Man or Doctor Strange was a bottle of Sunian blood wine? This is really the best thing for you. Gift!"

Gift? And what does this have to do with Iron Man and Doctor Strange? Siltana was a little confused and looked at the captain who led the rest of the team members into the cabin through the door.

"According to the compiled information, every extraordinary person and even ordinary person who watched the life stories of Iron Man and Doctor Strange in that dream ruins received gifts from the two.

"Those gifts vary from person to person. Some got Golden Horn, some got knowledge, some got intelligence, and some like you got their beloved things... In short, everyone got what they needed. .

"Mr. Okun suspects that the ruins are actually the promotion ceremony of Iron Man or Doctor Strange. They deliberately released the news to attract many extraordinary people to enter it to complete a certain arrangement...

"And those gifts are either part of the ceremony, or they are their way of thanking us for being able to 'help'...

"No matter which one is used, it means that many extraordinary people, including us 'Demon Hunters', have been used by them! This is a shame!

"Lord Oaken has decided to place a bounty on Iron Man and Doctor Strange."

After listening to the captain's words, Sirtana felt a little guilty because she did not see the two people the captain mentioned, and the Sonia blood wine in her hand was probably not a gift from them, but came from her ancestors. .

Because Sirtana joined the "Devil Hunter" entirely because of the captain's protection for her, and her belief in the God of War was actually only so-so, so after hesitating for a long time, she finally did not confess the matter to the captain, but He looked around and asked:

"Where's Ksenia?"

"Who is Ksenia?" the captain and other members asked in confusion.

"She's a member of our team...she was..." Halfway through, Sirtana suddenly got stuck because she suddenly couldn't remember when Kseniya joined the team, even those who were mean to her The impression becomes blurry.

The half-giant captain gave her a strange look, then patted her shoulder and said seriously: "You weren't drunk in your dream, were you?"

Although it is true... But I clearly remember... Siltana pursed her lips and did not try to argue. She decided to pretend that she was really confused and report to the captain in private later.

"By the way, there is another thing that has nothing to do with us, but it is something you have been paying attention to before... the information I just received." The half-giant captain seemed to have remembered something and said again.

"What's going on?" Siltana asked curiously.

"Old Belov's hot spring hotel was sold just over an hour ago." The half-giant captain replied.

"So fast? It's only... nine o'clock in the morning? Are the city hall and industry associations working so efficiently?" Siltana said in surprise.

Generally speaking, even if you hire professional lawyers and intermediaries, it will take three or four days to complete this procedure.

"The Countess of Louth bought it." The captain gave the answer.

Countess of Louth? The widow who was wealthy and came from a powerful family?

It is said that she has a good reputation. She has always lived in seclusion and seldom socialized... Why did she suddenly come to Yinduo to buy a property?

…

In the hot spring hotel in Tamik Mountain, Nathalie could not help but turn pale after witnessing her teacher using her official identity to complete the formalities for handing over the property. She hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Teacher, you don't want me to stay here until someone takes the bait, do you?"

That's terrible!

Ms. Greedy shook her head and said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with you... I used my status as a countess to buy this place for another reason."

The Jacob family has been rooted in Feysac for thousands of years, and they have long since changed their names and joined the aristocratic class. As a demigod, even if she is not a "thief", she has been "assigned" the title of countess.

As for the so-called widow, it was just a persona she used to avoid marriage. In fact, she never had a husband.

"That's good..." Nathalie breathed a sigh of relief. She used her "audience" ability to observe the teacher's expression, and couldn't help but happily said: "Teacher, are you finally free from the influence of that mask?"

Getting rid of it is indeed getting rid of it, but I am now... The effect of hypnosis prevented her from continuing to think. Ms. Greedy could only smile and responded: "I'm fine... I made you worry before."

…

In the villa in the dock area of ​​Indo Port, Crosfiya, who was sitting around the dining table having breakfast with Abner, Dunn and others, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth. Then she glanced at Abner and said with a smile:

"In addition, the thank-you gift for you has been processed!"

After saying that, she looked at Dunn again, stretched out three fingers, and continued, "As for your... I have three choices here."
