Mystery: Start with the Reader

As several "laws" were issued by Her Highness Vera, the black-clothed "Recorder" man's escape methods failed. He looked at the tall woman standing at the entrance in horror, completely unable to believe that he could actually Invoking the pursuit of a demigod.

However, even in front of a demigod, he was not prepared to surrender. The only possible, slim chance of escape was to use the ordinary people present to create chaos... After all, the official Extraordinary Directorate cares about the lives of these innocent people.

As soon as he thought of this, just when he was about to release the "recorded" "disease" of the "Pain Witch", an inexplicable sigh came to his ears:

"Have the people in the Tamara family also fallen like this?"

Before he finished speaking, the man saw the tall woman at the door clenching her right hand into a fist and shaking it down violently!

"Execution!"

With the sound of shattering glass, the man's original body suddenly shattered, and he staggered to Yu Xiu's side. The latter, who had been prepared for a long time, easily restrained him with "imprisonment".

Although he once again relied on the "Mirror Substitution Technique" to escape the disaster, this time he could not completely avoid the damage and suffered injuries that were enough to make him lose the ability to fight!

At this time, Her Highness Vera casually removed the protection for ordinary people in the market, then stepped forward and strengthened the restrictions on the "Recorder", and then "imprisoned" the other two assassins.

It was only then that the others present came to their senses, but except for a few extraordinary people, most of them did not understand what had just happened.

Speaking of which, this battle seems to be a long one, but in fact, from the moment Baron Larry breaks out to the moment when the "Recorder" the man in black is imprisoned, it only lasts for a total of ten seconds. The stall owners and customers in the market A large part of it is isolated by Vera's "barrier", and the battles in the "Arbiter" route have almost no "special effects"...

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the movement of two assassins flying out and knocking down the stall was considered relatively big.

Of course, except for the little girl with black hair and brown eyes who was almost pulled to block the knife by Baron Larry...

She saw with her own eyes that the man whose face was hidden by his hood sank into the ground like he was falling into the sea!

…

In the manor of Baron Hoy, the "White Saint" Catalina, who was dressed up as a girl, easily sneaked into the dance, and with her own charm, she was invited to dance by almost every man present.

From Baron Hoy, Lord De Vere, to Lord Hibbert, she did not refuse. Even some low-level members of the New Party who lacked courage danced with her under the encouragement of her eyes.

"Not this one……

"This is not..."

After Catalina once again eliminated a firm lawyer through the opportunity of dancing, she couldn't help but have some doubts about the results she had obtained through "mirror divination" before.

"Did Baron Larry sneak in disguised as a woman?"

A new idea came to her mind. Catalina was about to wait for the song to end and then, under the pretense of rest, go find the little girl she had a good chat with before the dance and ask her to take her to get to know Tingen. Celebrities and ladies...

But at this moment, her delicately trimmed eyebrows suddenly frowned, and then quickly calmed down... because she felt that the means she had buried in the men she had brought with her had been touched.

"Forget it for everyone else... but Lippes, as the 'Recorder', didn't escape either?

"Did we encounter an ambush? Or did a demigod intervene?

"Although the means I reserved have been triggered, there is no guarantee that I will be able to silence them...

"It's safer to leave here first."

Thinking of this, Catalina did not dare to delay any longer, politely ended her dance with the young lawyer in front of her, and then walked away gracefully.

The young lawyer looked at her back with regret in his eyes. It took him a long time to adjust his mood, but his interest was still not high.

…

In the secret trading market of the "Evil Dragon Bar", both the customers and the stall owners had long since seen the situation and had fled. Only a young man with a pale face and a frightening and crazy look in his eyes was hiding alone in the corner, watching. Her Highness Xiang Vera's eyes were filled with horror.

After he had just revealed his identity to the local "punisher" who had arrived after receiving the news, Xio saw black flames suddenly rising from the bodies of the two assassins. In almost an instant, their spirituality was burned out.

And the black-clothed "Recorder" also had black flames in his eyes!

Fortunately, as a mid-level Extraordinary, he was not as vulnerable as an assassin. Only after Her Highness Vera rescued him did he save his life.

But even so, he still had big mental problems and felt that he might lose control at any time.

"'The Ageless Witch'? Katarina?"

Her Highness Vera observed Hei Yan who was "imprisoned" by herself, frowned, and said unsurely.

…

Bianca, who had just attended a ball, declined a gentleman's invitation to get to know each other better and returned to the carriage bearing the coat of arms of the Parnis family.

Then, she was startled by the scene in front of her.

Because Baron Larry was not only covered in mud and disgusting sewage, his face also became extremely bloated, and his lips were even blue-purple.

He put his hand into his pocket, as if he wanted to touch something, but just barely missed it.

When he saw Bianca in despair, he felt a little inspired. He used his last strength to signal his lover to put the charm in his pocket into his hand.

Bianca hurriedly followed suit, and then, a bright light rose in the carriage, and Baron Larry's symptoms improved visibly.

"What happened? My dear...you seemed to be lacking oxygen just now?" Bianca asked in a somewhat urgent tone, pretending to be worried.

"Nothing, I just used an extraordinary item, and the side effect is that I can't breathe normally. I can only recover in a place with sunlight...

"I originally prepared the relevant talismans, but I didn't want to be so unlucky. The negative effects of the items unexpectedly broke out in advance for some reason... Fortunately, you came in time, my dear."

During the days in Enmatt Port, Baron Larry had already told his lover some common sense about the extraordinary world to prevent her from accidentally exposing herself, so he was not afraid that the other party would not understand at this moment.

Bianca glanced at the talisman he inspired, but felt a little strange in her heart. After all, the other party's item with some "Druid" abilities was obtained when they killed the pursuers in Enmat Port, and his injuries were not recovered after that. Healing, there is definitely no time to prepare a charm that can alleviate the negative effects.

So, he just went to the trading market and bought it? Or did you have it before? Either way, it's a bit too much of a coincidence...

Extraordinaries of the "Sun" path are not common in Loen.

However, Bianca soon stopped worrying about this matter. After all, coincidences do not happen naturally, and the Baron Larry in front of her may just be very lucky...

Of course, after meeting yourself, your luck may not always be good.

…

At No. 2 Daffodil Street, Melissa ran home in shock. After perfunctory greetings from her brother, she locked herself in the bedroom, recalling the incredible scene she had seen before.

Before today, Melissa had never thought that there really was extraordinary power in this world. Even towards the goddess, she mostly only respected and comforted her, but did not think that she really existed.

But what she just saw in that bar market completely changed Melissa's understanding of the world!

She also specifically checked the market floor to confirm that there was absolutely no mechanism there!

Apart from her extraordinary strength, she could not explain what she saw.

This world really has extraordinary power! Could what Elizabeth told me be true?

Klein...Kline, there is another hidden reason behind his death?

Melissa thought a lot, and she kept thinking until the next day, Saturday morning, when she was interrupted by Elizabeth's knock on the door.

At this time, Benson noticed something was wrong with his sister and saw how perfunctory she was towards him, so out of concern, he called her little sister.

Hearing Elizabeth's voice, Melissa hesitated and opened the door.

Speaking of which, the reason why she went to the trading market hidden in the bar yesterday was because of Elizabeth.

Benson has decided to move to Backlund at the end of the year, firstly to prepare for the civil service exam, and secondly, to help her find a university to improve herself.

Melissa told her good sister Elizabeth about this.

Facing her friend who was about to leave, the somewhat sad Elizabeth suddenly remembered the secrets she had kept for Klein while recalling every bit of their past.

Considering that Klein had passed away and Melissa would be far away, if she didn't tell those secrets, they might become secrets forever, so after much hesitation, she told Melissa that the Klein she knew was a What an amazing person.

Selecting talismans in the underground market, removing the "devil" in the mirror on Selena's birthday, exorcising evil spirits in dreams at the fortune teller club...

That thing surprised Melissa because she had never discovered that Klein knew those things... just like she had never discovered his talent for cooking.

But before, she didn't believe that her brother really had extraordinary power. She only thought that her brother was using magic to attract Elizabeth's attention. But when she heard the other party speak so confidently, Melissa was a little shaken.

Therefore, she first went to the Soothsayer Club yesterday, and then entered the "Evil Dragon Bar" in the evening, hoping to follow Klein's footsteps and explore the side of her brother that she did not understand.

Returning to the present moment, Melissa looked at Elizabeth who appeared in front of her and couldn't help complaining... Complaining that Klein didn't tell herself and Benson about the extraordinary things, but revealed them to Elizabeth...

If Benson and I knew, we would definitely not let him come into contact with such dangerous things!

On the other side, Elizabeth probably guessed what Melissa might have encountered at the "Evil Dragon Bar" yesterday, so she stepped forward to comfort her softly.

Melissa couldn't help but ask her about the other side of Klein again, this time much more seriously than the last time.

After the two little girls had a discussion, Elizabeth asked thoughtfully: "Do you still want to find out the truth about Klein's death?"

"Of course! It's okay if I didn't know before... Now that I know, how can I accept such an unclear explanation?" Melissa pursed her lips and said.

"Is there a problem with the Blackthorn security company?" Elizabeth asked softly.

"Judging from the high pensions they gave me and Benson, this company should be a formal organization that officially handles extraordinary matters... Klein has also said before that his company cooperates with the police department... and the reason why they concealed it is It should be that he doesn’t want ordinary people to know about extraordinary existence.”

After a night of thinking, Melissa had already thought about many things very clearly, "So, there is a high probability that I will not be able to get the truth about Klein's death from them... They will only use the previous rhetoric to perfunctory me...

"The only breakthrough is Klein's colleague named Leonard. He has been trying every means to help my family for a while... Perhaps, he is guilty of Klein's death...

"And the last time he came to my house, he said that he might go to Backlund."

Moreover, if one needs to become extraordinary to figure out the truth... Backlund will definitely have more opportunities than Tingen.

Melissa was originally a little hesitant about whether to go to Backlund, but now she just wants to get there as soon as possible.

After making the decision, Melissa relaxed and asked gossiping about Elizabeth's attendance at Baron Hoy's ball last night. The latter's mother was the daughter of a Baron of the New Party, and her father was also a sponsor of the New Party. business, so I got the invitation.

"I heard from Aunt Metz that the engagement partner she has chosen for you, the lawyer Rawls who has his own law firm, will also attend last night's dance... What do you think?"

Aunt Mace is Elizabeth's mother.

"Forget it... that lawyer won't even look at me now... I've already told my mother not to ask him what he thinks." Elizabeth curled her lips and said.

"How is that possible?" Melissa looked surprised. Although Elizabeth was still a little young, her appearance was very beautiful.

"It was a young lady named Karina who attracted her... Speaking of which, I had never seen her in the social scene in Tingen, but I met her before the dance... I had a pleasant chat with her, using Russell In the words of the Great Emperor, it was 'like an old friend at first sight'... I even wanted to introduce her to you at that time.

"In the end, it was Lord Hibbert's appearance that interrupted my invitation to her as a guest...

"Now that I think about it, it's a good thing I wasn't invited, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing."

…

On Monday, at 2:55 pm, the bright but not scorching sunshine shone on the window of the townhouse at No. 15 Minsk Street.

This is a rare good weather for the residents of Backlund, but the tenant of House No. 15 is a guy who doesn't understand "style" and even hung up the curtains at this time.

Seeing the room dimming, Klein used his spirituality to seal the room, and then took four steps backwards to enter the mysterious palace above the gray mist.

At three o'clock, as he spread his spirituality behind the stars, rays of crimson light lit up on both sides of the mottled long table, solidifying into blurry, different figures.

Audrey, who was still in a bright mood, stood up first as usual and led everyone to greet Mr. Fool:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

After doing this, she looked around both sides of the long table. She was about to say hello to the members of the Tarot Club one by one, but she was suddenly stunned when her eyes touched the seat diagonally opposite.

Because Mr. "Tower"'s seat in the past is now empty!

"This...Did something happen to Mr. Tower?"

"Justice" subconsciously looked at Miss "Judgement", and then turned his attention to Mr. "Fool" above.

Klein recalled what "Tower" said when he asked for leave before, and said calmly in the tone of "The Fool":

"'Ta' is not happy about something and will be absent from the next few Tarot sessions.

"He asked me to tell you something...

"His identity as 'Doctor Strange' has been 'transferred' to someone else."
