Mystery: Start with the Reader

At night, outside the somewhat old house of Detective Eisinger Stanton in Hillston District, Abner turned on "Psychological Invisibility" and went straight to the door.

Speaking of which, after Abner left the Mother Earth Church in the afternoon, he first went to the house rented by Xio and Forsi and informed them that he had arrived in Backlund.

——Since the distance was not far, he did not use the "Fool" communication.

Xio was not at home at the time, only Forsi, who had just been dragged by Xio to exercise for more than an hour, was lying on the sofa like a "salted fish".

Forsi was startled when she saw a stranger appear in the room. She was relieved until Abner revealed his true face.

Hugh didn't return to his residence until late in the evening. Then the three of them had dinner together and chatted for a while about their experiences. Then Abner left the house rented by the two ladies and walked to the house based on the psychological hint he had made before. Arrive at the teacher’s house.

But just as he walked to the door of Detective Essinger's house, Abner sensed something was wrong...

This kind of induction is not something he noticed himself, but comes from the "magic mirror" on his body!

The Sequence 4 "Devil" is herded in the "Magic Mirror", allowing the owner of its contract to share a certain degree of "danger sensing" ability.

And even though Abner was in a state of "psychological invisibility", he was "maliciously" targeted after approaching the teacher's house, and this "maliciousness" could actually hurt him!

Does the teacher have a demigod or a powerful Sequence 5 at home? Abner, who had forgotten all the plots related to "The Apostle of Desire", just had a guess in his mind, and the door of the house opened by itself with a creak, as if to invite him to enter.

If the teacher hadn't been in great danger here, and if he hadn't received Lilith's "blessing" in the afternoon, Abner might not have dared to accept this "invitation" at this moment, but at this moment, thinking that he had a way to save his life, and Although he was carrying at least three "1" level sealed objects, he was not too afraid.

He took a deep breath, first opened the "Pure White Eyes", and "analyzed" the entire house. After more than ten seconds, he had a firm idea in his mind. While using his "Mechanical Mind", he walked into the half-open door. door, and strode towards the living room on the first floor.

During this period, several of the teacher's original servants, including Mr. Kenny, the manservant who was most familiar with Abner, "exploded" to pieces in front of him without warning and turned into pieces, just like they had always done. , it has always been in this state, but it looks like it was stitched up just now!

Abner, who maintained a "mechanical mind", turned a blind eye to this and went straight to the door of the living room with cold eyes.

But just when he was about to push open the door of the living room and break some kind of "restriction" on it, a thick black fog suddenly rose up without warning, trying to engulf Abner like a tide!

This is the power of "darkness" that can forcibly cross the boundary between reality and nightmare, pulling people into terror.

Abner is very familiar with this kind of power. He relied on the same method to enter the "Twilight Castle" surrounded by nightmares.

I saw that his body was suddenly shrouded in a layer of "twilight" light, resisting the invasion of "darkness" like a shield. No matter how the black mist washed away, it could not shake it at all.

This is one of the secret techniques he obtained from the characteristics he used when he was promoted to "Secret Technique Tutor", the "Shield of Glory" with a hint of "Twilight" power!

Seeing that the black mist was unable to affect Abner, two consecutive demonic words full of filth and depravity sounded out again:

"slow!"

"Fallen!"

But since he "analyzed" it with "Pure White Eyes", he knew that the enemy was at least an "Apostle of Desire". Abner was already prepared for these methods. A badge on his chest lit up in pure black at the right time. After a flash of light, he passed through the "fallen" area at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and pushed open the door to the living room.

In an instant, it seemed that some seal was lifted, and the strong smell of blood came out and penetrated Abner's nose.

Abner relied on the "Cursed Tudor Badge" to use the demigod-level "distortion" ability, changing the "slow" effect into "extreme speed" and the "corruption" range into "pacification".

In the living room at this moment, an easy chair was overturned on the ground, stained with a lot of dark red blood, and a book fell next to it, with the cover facing up.

The glass holding the red wine shattered onto the floor tiles, scattering glass shards all over the floor... The wine and blood were mixed together, making the scene even more tragic.

Just as Abner was looking at the broken glass thoughtfully, footsteps came from outside the living room, and soon, Isengard Stanton walked in holding his injured shoulder.

The great detective did not enter the house, but stood at the door and thanked Abner:

"Friend, thank you for your help...otherwise I might have fallen into the hands of that devil."

Although Abner had lifted his "invisibility", he still maintained his disguised face, so Essinger did not recognize him.

Abner seemed to have expected it and was not surprised. Only after confirming that the enemy had left and the person in front of him was the real teacher, he changed his face and said softly: "Teacher, it's me."

After saying that, he simulated the ability of the "faceless man" again and changed back.

"Abner, it turns out it's you..." Essinger was obviously relieved, but then he looked at his student again with a complicated expression on his face, "It's only been a few months, and you've become so strong...

"When I first met you, I had a premonition that you could help me survive the disaster in the future... It should be this time!

"It seems that my decision to accept you as a 'student' was the right one. It was truly a blessing from the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'!

"It's just a pity that Kenny and the others..."

As he spoke, Essinger sighed helplessly.

With the critical situation just now, he couldn't save his servants at all.

"Not to mention this...Teacher, do you need some treatment for your injury? I can provide treatment capabilities." Abner pointed at Detective Essinger's shoulder and asked.

"It doesn't matter, I also have the ability to 'heal'. The reason why I didn't treat the wound was because I wanted to paralyze the opponent and then ambush him to kill him." As he said that, Essinger did not shy away from the blood in the room and walked to a table. He lit the pipe on it and took a puff.

Knowing that the teacher was using cigarettes to hide his inner sadness and regret, although he felt that his counterattack plan was a bit risky, Abner just sighed secretly and reminded: "Teacher, there may be someone behind the 'Apostle of Desire' There is a demigod-level witch assisting..."

A mere "apostle of desire" will naturally not bring "danger sensing" to Abner. The witch in the dark is the source of danger!

This is also the reason why Abner did not try to capture the "Apostle of Desire", so as not to provoke the witch.

Even with the "Bone Dragon" around, he didn't want to have a fight to the death with a demigod-level witch... especially in the densely populated Hillston area.

"It turns out to be a witch... No wonder I have been unable to escape by jumping through the mirror. I can only hide and seek with the 'Apostle of Desire' in the world behind the many glass fragments...

"However, in this case, their purpose is worth pondering... With the demigod witch here, if you really want to kill me, there is no need to go to such trouble.

"Of course, it's also possible that the witch was just invited by the other party to block my escape route, and would not help the other party..."

After Detective Essinger muttered a few words to himself, he looked at Abner and said, "Can you escort me to the Lever Church of the Steam Church?"
