Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the room, Bishop Alyssa Linton stared at the question reflected in the silver mirror. The expression on her face changed continuously. After a long while, she breathed out and said:

"it's me……"

"Very honest." A new combination of words appeared on the surface of the silver mirror.

...Sure enough, it is right to restore memory in time and not touch this mirror... This question and answer game is simply a public execution! In comparison, my "magic mirror" is more well-behaved...

Abner wanted to reach out and cover his face, but he still resisted. He only used his fingers to touch the palm-sized and inconspicuous "magic mirror" in his pocket.

The "magic mirror" felt the "praise" in the heart of the "master" through the "contract", and quickly sent a "happy" message. Then it seemed to have performed some operations, and "invited" credit to Abner... …

Unfortunately, these messages were intercepted by the "Pure White Eye", and it failed to get a response from the "master".

Abner actually felt the feedback from the "Magic Mirror", but with so many "Machine Heart" members present, it was difficult for him to turn on the "Pure White Eyes" to check, so he only tapped the "Magic Mirror" with his finger again. Surface, let it settle down a little.

At this time, Detective Essinger coughed, breaking the slightly awkward scene in the room. He skipped the inside story about the transfer of his two friends and only analyzed:

“In the ancient Fourth Age, human forces that worshiped demons formed a loose alliance called the ‘Blood Worship Cult’.

"Within this organization, the three major demon families of North, Andrelade, and Belia stand together. Their ancestors have all received gifts from the abyss. They worship an evil god called the 'Dark Side of the Universe' and believe that He is the Lord of the Abyss, the Destroyer who will surely erode and corrupt the entire real world and the entire vast universe.

"The incident that happened on Sonia Island some time ago is said to be that a superior demon planned to summon the 'dark side of the universe' to come to reality through 'sacrifice' to the demigods of the God of War Church... Fortunately, his conspiracy was ultimately foiled. Already...

"The name of the demon just given by '2-111' is 'Jason Belial'... He is obviously a member of the Belial family... This may be another 'activity' of the demons!"

Ikanser shook his head and said: "Beria has long since declined and became a vassal of the still powerful North family decades ago... As for the Andrelade family, they were also very weak originally, but More than a hundred years ago, he received the support of a superior demon and regained some say in the 'Blood Worship Cult'... For this reason, a war even broke out between them!

"And the superior demon was the culprit behind the incident on Sunia Island. He had a de facto hostile relationship with North and Beria, and the conflict could not even be reconciled. I don't think the two things should be linked together. "

According to the information Crosfiya said she obtained from the Supreme Council of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", the demon who caused the "Sacrifice Incident on Sonia Island" was Russell's adopted son, the "Whisperer", the "Terrorist" "Duke" Jaldabaoth!

Did he give Andre Ladd props? Didn't this family completely fall to North and become the subordinates of the "Mother Tree of Desire"?

Speaking of which, this adopted son hatched from the "egg" brought out by Russell from the "abyss" is also a big variable. His impact is not even less than those of the time-travelers I discovered...

If he were not still alive, and the age when he broke out of his shell almost overlapped with the "Seal of Disaster", I would really have thought that he was also a time traveler brought by the "Pure White Eyes"...

But where did this "butterfly" come from? Could it be that there is a descendant left behind by a certain time traveler in the abyss?

This doesn’t make much sense. It’s more likely that a time traveler from a certain period had communicated with the “dark side of the universe” Farbuti, and the other party therefore prepared a backup plan in advance...

While Abner was making random guesses, a group of "Heart of Machinery" members were also discussing the next action plan with Detective Essinger.

They finally decided to split into two groups, one with Detective Essinger as bait to lure out the demon, and then the ambush "Mechanical Heart" to capture him.

As for how to solve the demon's "danger perception" ability, Detective Essinger also has a preliminary idea.

The other road is investigating based on the scene in the room just seen and the name "Jason Belial"...

After all, apart from the bug ability of premonition of danger, demons are actually not good at divination and prediction...

Therefore, if the "Apostle of Desire" named "Jason Belial" wants to find out who took the lead in organizing the detectives to analyze the characteristics of the devil dog, he must take the initiative to investigate the situation and collect information...

And Emperor Russell said, "Everyone who walks by will leave traces." The "Mechanical Hearts" can use these traces as clues to find out the whereabouts of the demon.

Abner did not join in their discussions and plans. Firstly, he was playing the role of the teacher's valet at the moment and was not suitable to interrupt. Secondly, there was no need for him to interrupt at all.

The main purpose of his previous blockade of related memories and his return to Backlund was to save the teacher, so that he would not be in danger of his life due to the plot of his "butterfly"...

Although there were some deviations from the plan, he failed to leave the "Apostle of Desire" in the teacher's house, but he also got things back on track... There was no need for him to do anything else, and the teacher would not be in danger of his life. It would be too high, so why change it?

“Well, at most, after Jason Belial assassinates Duke Negan, I will follow the rogue ‘Black Emperor’ to ensure that the ‘Apostle of Desire’ is dead.

"As for the fight between Teacher and Klein and the 'Apostle of Desire' tomorrow night... Let's not talk about whether he dares to go. Even if he does go, with Mr. Fool here, he will not be able to hurt the teacher."

As for the fact that the real target of the "Apostle of Desire" is actually Duke Negan? Abner didn't have any friendship with the other party, so he wouldn't take the risk to remind him.

After all, being targeted by the organization that cannot be named, Duke Negan is actually dead. Even if he escapes this time, he will still die in the next assassination.

Reminders are pointless.

…

In an independent house in the Jowood District, Xio suddenly woke up from her sleep. She was stunned for a while, then covered her head with a quilt and murmured:

"How could I have such a dream..."

After tossing and turning for a while, Xio had to get up from the bed and prepare to go to the bathroom to take a shower and clean up.

But when she walked to the bathroom door, she heard the sound of water coming from inside. Apparently someone had used the bathtub before her.

"Forsi?" Xio asked a little strangely.

As far as she knew, Forsi would not take a bath in the middle of the night except on full moon nights.

"Ah?" Forsi in the bathroom was startled when he heard the voice, and his tone was even a little flustered. After a few seconds, he calmed down and asked, "Hugh, why are you up? Are you going on a mission?"

God of steam, this scene looks like a dream...

Xio had already frowned at this moment. She put on the "golden mask" she carried with her on her face, relied on her enhanced "sensing" ability to investigate, then took off the mask, and said to herself silently with a strange look on her face. :

"I didn't find any evil aura...is it really coming from my own desires? A physiological reaction?"

What Xio didn't know was that they were not the only ones who woke up from their sleep and went to take a shower in Backlund that night.

…

It was on Wednesday morning when Abner started the "Pure White Eye" routine of feeding the "Magic Mirror" with "Holy Light" that he finally received the message from it and knew what it had done last night...

After asking who it had affected, Abner could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the number of people was not large, and they were all familiar to him, so they would not arouse too much suspicion...

If half of Backlund really had that kind of dream last night, "heroic detective" would probably become synonymous with "devil"...or that kind of unorthodox devil...

"I just praised you yesterday for not looking for trouble like Arrodes, but you ended up causing trouble like this for me?

"I don't need this kind of flattery...understand?!"

After teaching the mirror a lesson, Abner deeply felt that this kind of sealed object with a "soul" had too much freedom. While it could alleviate the "negative effects", it also brought more trouble.

Of course, this can actually be regarded as a negative effect!

This also strengthened Abner's determination not to unlock the next seal of the "Magic Mirror" in a short time...

This state of not being very smart is so difficult to deal with. If it were to become truly intelligent, it would probably be even more difficult to deal with than Arrods!

"However, the 'devil' ability of the 'Magic Mirror' is really useful. It can actually enter dreams and stir up desires and emotions... The scope spans two or three areas...

"The title of 'Devil of the Heart' is truly worthy of its name."

…

Early morning, St. George's district, Saatchi Street.

Klein and his lawyer Jurgen came out of the house of the inventor Leppard. They had just signed an agreement with the steam-powered vehicle tycoon Mr. Franmy Cage, sold their shares in the bicycle company, and received a 1,300 Check for gold pounds.

After paying Jurgen a reward of 50 pounds, Klein said goodbye to him and prepared to go to the East District to meet his informant Old Kohler.

But at this moment, layers of prayers suddenly came to his ears.

Is it Miss Hugh? Well, I happen to have something to tell her...
