Mystery: Start with the Reader

Harvest Church, Bridge South District.

Looking at this spire building with a golden exterior wall, Abner first drew a simple holy symbol with his hands "devoutly", then opened the door and walked in.

——When you come to negotiate with an angel, you must first please your own backstage.

Since today is Wednesday, a working day, there are only a few believers in the prayer hall, and the few that are there are people Abner knows.

Emlyn, Hazel, Mrs. Scudder, Mrs. Fassin, the girl named Freya... Huh? Iris is actually there too... Is he going back to Backlund to celebrate the New Year?

Although Abner was a little happy to see his friend Itris here, considering that he was not wearing the "Heroic Detective" vest now and had other business to do, he did not go forward to talk to her. Instead, he randomly found a seat and sat down, waiting for Bishop Utravsky to finish his sermon.

During this period, he opened the "Pure White Eyes" and tried to use the method of communication with the "spirit body" to contact the fetus in Mrs. Farthing's belly...

Soon, the other party gave him a brief response: "Go to the bathroom to talk."

Is this the influence of Mr. Fool expanding again, or do you great beings all have a preference for bathrooms?

I remember that in the original book, Little Snake communicated with Klein at the banquet, also in the bathroom...

After complaining in his mind, Abner stood up and walked to the public washroom of the church.

Speaking of which, the reason why Abner is somewhat confident that the "Bound God" will help is because the other party is obviously under the protection of the Mother Earth, and he is deeply favored by Lilith, so she has to show mercy no matter what;

Secondly, when I came to Harvest Church last time, he proactively said "hello", obviously with some good intentions;

In the end, in the main hall deep in "Daniel's Labyrinth", after all, it was himself who "sacrificed" the sealed object "1-025" that gave him a chance to escape... In this way, he still owed himself a favor.

Based on these three points, Abner felt that He would not refuse his request, and he might even feel happy about repaying the favor in such a simple way.

Abner muttered as he entered the bathroom and locked the door.

He stood in front of the wash mirror and waited patiently for more than a minute, when his inspiration suddenly struck him. Then, a figure with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a beautiful dress and a doll tied to a wooden stick appeared in the mirror.

"Good afternoon, His Highness the Bound God." Abner bowed politely and greeted him in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

In Lilith's territory, he was not afraid that the other party would hurt him.

"I... have limited time... to talk about... the key points." The doll's mouth opened and closed, speaking out the words with difficulty, and his tone seemed very stiff.

"Also... don't... call... the 'Bound God'... He is... not just pointing at me now..." He added intermittently as the doll's jaw clicked.

Although this is completely different from Miss "Messenger" in the original work, the way of speaking is the same...Abner secretly marveled, while on the surface he spoke his request slowly, and finally asked: "I don't know what I need." What do I need to pay for you to help stop the curse of that '0' level sealed object?"

After hearing this, the doll in the mirror broke off a finger of its left hand with its right hand and threw it to Abner, and then said:

"Put it...on...that person...and the curse...will be transferred...to me...to carry."

After catching the finger, Abner 1 found that it quickly grew into a new doll, but it was not delicate and beautiful enough, and the "clothes" on it were dirty.

After Abner pondered for a moment, he asked: "Will the 'curse' be transferred to you? Will there be any problems?"

"'Prisoners'... carrying a curse... is normal... it doesn't matter." At this point, the doll paused for more than ten seconds before continuing, "You don't have to... pay... this is... what I owe. ……debt."

After saying that, the figure of the doll disappeared from the wash mirror.

Debt owed? Does it mean that I sacrificed the sealed artifact "1-025"? What does He mean by this?

And why are you walking so fast? I also want to ask about Daniel...

Abner sighed, not too disappointed. After all, this time he came to find the "Bound God"... No, it should be that the purpose of finding the "God of Spiritual Things" Torzner has been achieved.

After putting away the puppet made of fingers, Abner solved the subsequent problems caused by choking on the mung bean cake and drinking a lot of water. Then he washed his hands and left the public washroom.

At this time, Bishop Utravsky's sermon has ended, and Mrs. Farthing is walking towards the main entrance of the church, supported by Itris and Freya.

Mrs. Scudder had already gone out to call the carriage for them.

As they left, the prayer hall that originally contained a few believers suddenly became empty.

At this time, Emlyn suddenly came up and asked in a low voice with a somewhat suspicious expression: "I wanted to ask yesterday...have I seen you somewhere?"

I feel that your smell is familiar, and the breath on your body is very... and makes the vampires feel friendly...

Your nose is really good. You remember the smell after seeing it once at the police station more than half a year ago? This is comparable to the breath extraction ability of the "Pure White Eye".

After a few slanders, Abner responded with a smile:

"I've been in Fusac before."

Fusak... I have never been to Fusak... Could it be that the sense of intimacy and familiarity is really an illusion? Emlyn thought for a few seconds and stopped worrying about this issue. He hesitated for a while, and then asked solemnly:

"Mr. Spector, can I ask you a favor?"

——Mark Spector is the pseudonym of Abner’s current identity as the Countess’ lover. When he came yesterday, he, Bishop Utravsky, Hazel, and Emlyn all reported their names.

"What's the business? Tell me..." Abner asked strangely.

He never knew that Emlyn was so familiar with him, and he was basically a stranger to him now.

"I would like to ask your attention to this doll... This is one of my favorite dolls. It was the work of Master Tano a hundred years ago... But he suddenly disappeared a few days ago!

“If you find it in any store, market or exhibition, please let me know!”

As he spoke, Emlyn took out a thick cardboard from his arms with a "portrait" of a doll on it, and then gritted his teeth and said, "If I know who took it, I must make him look good!

"Do you think it's not stolen if you put the money away?!"

At this moment, Abner tried his best not to have a weird look on his face, because the doll in the portrait in Emlyn's hand was exactly the same as what he had just seen in the bathroom mirror!

…

When Klein left Lina and Shoko's cafe and returned to Minsk Street in the Jowood District, the sky was completely dark, and the light from the gas street lamp was even brighter than the faint red moon in the sky.

I wanted to go to lawyer Jurgen's house for a meal and pet the cat. But when Klein walked outside the house at No. 15, his spirituality was suddenly touched. He found that someone seemed to have entered his home.

who is it? That fake Baron Larry didn't wait for me, so he came to my house?

Klein did some divination and after getting the result that there was no danger, he carefully opened the door and entered the house. He looked around cautiously and found a letter on the coffee table.

After looking down at the letter for a few times, Klein took out his black gloves and put them on before picking it up and opening it.

Inside the envelope was a thin piece of letter paper. After unfolding it, a dark red color immediately entered Klein's eyes, and the faint smell of blood lingered in his nose.

On the letter paper, a line of words was written in coagulated blood:

"You are all going to die!"

Threatening letter? Who could it be? The title used is 'you'... And the only case I have completed in cooperation with others is the serial murder case of the devil dog... Is the owner of that dog looking for revenge? Klein's heart tightened and he quickly analyzed it.

Afterwards, he found another threatening letter written in blood in his bedroom... But this time he no longer hesitated and immediately chose to call the police.

At the same time, he used the time when he went to the bathroom at the police station to enter above the gray fog, and informed Miss Control of his situation through the "world".

Miss Temperance did not hesitate, saying that she would rush to Minsk Street as soon as possible and protect him secretly.

Klein obviously relaxed a little after receiving Sharon's promise. Although he didn't know what the devil dog's owner had planned, in any case, the opponent would definitely not be a demigod. With Sharon and himself teaming up, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still protect himself. It should still be possible.

But when he cautiously returned to Minsk Street, he found that one detective after another came to visit his home...

This also included Detective Essinger Stanton, who was seriously injured.

From his words, Klein finally had a clearer understanding of the enemy.

…

A few streets away from Minsk Street, in a safe house—no doubt rented by Hugh. Abner and Xio also successfully met and obtained the sealed object handed over by Xio that could temporarily block "0-08".

Those are a pair of earrings, called:

"The Conspiracy of the Origin" and "The Conspiracy of the End."
