Mystery: Start with the Reader

After sighing with emotion, Abner decided to act according to the original plan and no longer expected the gods to show mercy. After all, even Lilith, who valued him most, expressed a "decline". Even if the other gods saw through George III's tricks, , and won’t care much.

His original plan was very simple. He had been living in the East District recently, waiting for the "Despair Witch" to appear, and then taking action to prevent her from spreading the "plague" in the field of occultism.

He cannot stop the development of the times, but there are ways to reduce the impact of man-made disasters!

As for why you have always lived in the East District? That's because due to various changes in the "butterfly" effect, he can no longer guarantee that Panatia will take action on December 28 as in the original work... It is very likely to happen a few days earlier or a few days later. thing.

He could only choose to wait and see.

The plan was finalized. After thinking about it for a while, Abner asked Lilith: "I also want to ask you for a favor..."

"What's the deal?" Lilith asked with a smile.

"I would like to ask you to help me prepare a false identity... I would like to try to play the role of a 'secret teacher' during the period of dormancy in the East District." Abner did not mention specific requirements for his identity, and only put his own What needs to be said is that he believes that with the power of the Mother Earth Church in Loen, it should not be difficult.

After all, in the original work, even a secret organization like "Element Dawn" can help Klein create a false identity.

Lilith glanced at him with a half-smile, shook her head and said, "You can just pray to 'knowledge' directly... 'Learning', 'imitation', and then creating fakes are His strengths."

Will I suffer divine punishment if I use this reason to pray to the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom"? Is this the worst time He has ever been hacked?

Abner was speechless, but he also understood that it was not appropriate for him to directly ask Lilith for this matter, so he was ridiculed by the other party...

It's all because her tone, expression, and posture were too casual, which made me forget that she is essentially a god...

After quibbling for himself, Abner heard Lilith say again: "I was joking just now... I will let Crosfiya get this done through the 'Psychological Alchemy Meeting'... Even if you use that If your identity causes trouble, the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' will also take the blame."

Isn’t this Lilith’s humanity too rich? It feels like a lie... After hearing the other party's words, Abner sighed like this again in his heart.

After sincerely expressing his gratitude to Lilith, Abner said goodbye and left the basement along the stairs.

As soon as he returned to the prayer hall, he saw a classic scene in the original work:

The bearded detective Sherlock Moriarty and the vampire youth Emlyn White exchanged suitcases and banknotes like a gang transaction, and the latter quickly retreated to Father Utravski's side after the transaction was completed. , check the authenticity of the banknotes.

Seeing this scene, Abner's mouth twitched and he immediately recalled the scene when he and Karen traded the "Heart of the Tree of Elders"...

In contrast, he actually felt that his and Karen's behavior at that time was much more normal.

At this time, Klein, who had confirmed the status of the two materials, also saw Abner walking up from the stairs.

"Mr. Tower..."

Through the previous "Inscription on the Humble Room", Klein has determined that the person with this strange face is Mr. "Ta", the Mr. "Ta" who just killed the "Apostle of Desire"! Mr. "Tower" with demigod skills!

——This last point, he learned through the description of the "Mechanical Heart" and the inquiry into the soul of the "Desire Apostle".

But he did not intend to let his current detective identity have too much contact with Mr. "Tower", so as not to expose his flaws, so he snapped his fingers according to the original plan, lit the match specially separated in his pocket, and let the suddenly rising red flames Wrapped in itself.

When the flames receded, he had disappeared.

Abner, who roughly guessed Klein's thoughts, curled his lips secretly, but soon the corners of his lips curled up again.

Because just now he suddenly got a "passive" prophecy, or premonition:

The day will not be too far away when he exposes the opponent's "vest"!

And the opportunity turned out to be Edwina? !

Abner pinched his chin and thought:

The simple deduction result is that Edwina will soon find the so-called "Key to the King of the North" from the descendants of Ronzel's family, and invite me to enter "Grossell's Travels" in a safe way.

Hmm... To be on the safe side, I will most likely report to Mr. Fool... And if Klein is already "Gehrman" at that time, he might actually come to participate...

Of course, I might also take the initiative to invite "the world".

So, the opportunity for stripping is actually the "Honest Lobby"?

Hiss... Fortunately, I thought of it in advance. Before that, I'd better develop a "secret technique" to restrain thoughts... Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be a two-way "horse fall"?

…

On Monday morning, in front of the house at No. 30 Black Palm Street in the East District, a middle-aged man who was polite but shabbily dressed shook hands with the landlord, took out a 1-pound note from his withered wallet and handed it to the landlord.

This is one month's rent.

"Mr. Evans, I heard that you applied for a job as a teacher in a free school? You are really a gentleman of high moral character." The landlord complimented him habitually, but he would not give up the rent at all.

Free schools are night schools established by the three major churches or some charitable organizations. Classes are held from 8 to 10 pm, and there is no charge at all. Writing tools and certain paper are even provided for free. It is a literacy education, at best. Let’s talk about some religious knowledge.

But because salaries are meager, there has been a shortage of teachers.

Freya and her sister Daisy have been taking classes there. Even though Iris introduced them to a better school, she did not accept his offer.

"You're honored... If you can, you can actually call me Mr. Professor. I prefer this title." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Professor." Although the landlord gave him a strange look, he got what he wanted. There was no charge for calling him.

After the landlord left, Abner closed the door and put his hand on his forehead, and couldn't help complaining in his heart:

"Closphia... no, maybe Lilith, what the hell is this customized character for me?

"A down-and-out musician who dreams of becoming a 'professor'? After Backlund repeatedly hit the wall, he had to teach in a free school set up by the church on the edge of the East End?

"Are you inexplicably paranoid about the title 'professor'?

"Why give me such an identity?"

While doubts arose in his heart, Abner recalled what Lilith said when she handed him the identity certificate:

"The setting of this identity originated from a story Rhine told me... In the story, the 'Professor' was favored by the Silver Moon."

…

Bayam, the capital of the Rhoside Islands and the city of generosity.

Alger stepped off the Blue Avenger, put on a robe embroidered with storm patterns, and went straight to the Church of the Waves.

As soon as he entered the large prayer hall, he immediately performed the Storm Church etiquette to the bishop and said respectfully: "The storm is with you!"

"The storm is with you!" the bishop responded with the same gesture.

Before Alger could speak, the bishop took out a telegram and said solemnly:

"You're just in time, there's just one thing you need to know...

"Duke Negan was assassinated. The Council of Cardinals asked all punishers and priests to pay attention to events involving Tarot rituals, organizations that believe in the 'Fool', and the thieves 'Black Emperor', 'Iron Man', 'Doctor Strange' and others information.

"In addition, we must collect as much information as possible about the Secret Order."

"Tarot ritual? Secret cult?" Alger was shocked in his heart, but his surprise was fully expressed on the surface.

He didn't quite understand why Duke Negan's death was related to the Tarot Society and Mr. Fool.

And what does this have to do with the Secret Order?

The bishop nodded solemnly and said:

"The assassins of Duke Negan were a Sequence 5 demon and Baron Larry, but the latter disappeared without mentioning. The former was killed by a saint on the way to escape, and he also left a 'Tower' 'Cards... This is the same as the end of 'Hurricane Lieutenant General' Zillinges who failed to assassinate the Duke, although there was no tarot card left that time."

"In addition, Larry should have received funding from Intis, and in the previous incident where the 'Black Emperor' dealt with the Aurora Society, there were also people suspected of being involved in the Secret Order...

"So, the Council of Cardinals judged that the organization that believes in the 'Fool' may be related to the Secret Order!"

"Tower" intercepted and killed the "Apostle of Desire"? Has he become a demigod? It turns out that he took three weeks off to complete the promotion ceremony...

Well, if it's really him, then he probably accepted the commission from "The World" or one of Mr. "Fool's" favored ones...

Yes, Mr. Fool is probably looking at the truth behind the assassination, and he is looking at the real murderer!

Will it be a secret order? I remember that Mr. "The Fool" attached great importance to this organization and even issued missions for its intelligence...

Haha, the Council of Cardinals may have guessed right. Mr. Fool should indeed be related to the Secret Order...but not too closely, and may even be an enemy.

Alger thought of many things in an instant. He looked down at the telegram and discovered that the church had set up an investigation team composed of the Punisher, the Heart of the Machine, and the Nighthawks for the assassination of Duke Negan. Each team member was The elites in their respective organizations.

His eyes flashed across the names of Stewart, Dai Li, Ikanser and others. Alger hesitated for a moment whether to apply to join in order to grasp the progress of the investigation...

But in the end, he decided to follow the original plan and develop in a low-key manner.

…

Backlund, in the townhouse at No. 15 Minsk Street, after receiving the "Characteristics of the Human Skin Shadow" from Sharon, Klein finally gathered the materials for the "Faceless Man" and was successfully promoted. Sequence 6.

Just when he was experimenting with his new ability, changing into a female face, and pinching a "pair of A's" on his chest, there was a sudden knock on the door.

This frightened him so much that he almost launched "Fire Jump", but fortunately he calmed down in time, turned back into Sherlock's bearded appearance, and opened the door.

Outside the house stood an old man dressed as a butler. He came to invite Sherlock to meet a big shot.

The big shot is naturally Prince Edsac, and he came to Klein to entrust him with investigating Talim's whereabouts.

"Talim? According to Mr. Ta's description, he may be 'reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant flowers'... That's probably what it means. I don't know if Russell copied this sentence..."

…

On board the Golden Dream, Talim, who had become a "pirate" for no apparent reason, was holding a pen and paper, silently writing words in ancient Hermes.

Beside him, Daniz was eating grilled fish while pointing out Talim's mistakes.

It is true that "red" sleeves add "fragrance"...
