Mystery: Start with the Reader

Ms. Daly? What is she doing at the free school? Is there any extraordinary case happening here?

Feeling confused in his heart, Abner pretended to be surprised on the surface and stared at Ms. Daly several times.

After all, this place is very close to the East District. If she is so beautiful and there are very few ladies dressed like this, peeking is a normal reaction.

As expected, Ms. Daly had no suspicion. She ignored Abner and boarded a carriage with the Church of the Night logo on the side of the road.

Abner waited until he watched the carriage leave before turning around and walking into the school and his office.

The four students were already waiting there.

——There are very few people who are willing to be free school teachers. Therefore, a unique teaching model has been formed there, that is, the teacher arrives early, gathers the students with the best learning progress, and instills in them the content to be taught today. , and then they are responsible for teaching in different classes, while the teacher patrols back and forth to correct mistakes. This is called the "guidance system".

After Abner obtained his current status and applied for the school funded by the Church of the Night, he met four students who were good at studying and remembered their names.

The four people, three men and one woman, were all wearing shabby clothes, but they were still clean and tidy, and they were very polite.

The only girl here is called Daisy, the daughter of a washer who was rescued by the thief "Black Emperor" after experiencing the Capin case.

Of course, now their family has moved out of the East End with the help of Itris, but they are still engaged in starching work.

Abner checked the homework he had assigned before, and then asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Did something happen at school?"

Otherwise, how could it attract a "Nighthawk"...

"Yes, sir. A lady came here just now. She is the bishop of the church." A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old with light freckles on his face replied respectfully.

His name is Beck, a very common name. After all, this is Backlund.

"What is she here for?" Abner asked.

"I don't know... Mr. Principal received her..." After thinking for a while, Baker pointed to the girl next to him and said, "By the way, she seemed to have called Daisy over to ask something alone."

After hearing his words, Abner also turned his attention to Daisy.

He is not afraid of arousing suspicion by asking behind her back. After all, it is normal to ask for information when meeting a beautiful lady.

Daisy's face looked blank, "I... I just remember that Ms. Dai Li's perfume smelled very good, and then... Then I was in a daze and didn't pay attention to what she asked me..."

After saying that, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Is this using "channelling"? If he only "channels" Daisy, then it's not what happened in the school... Or is he investigating matters related to the rogue "Black Emperor"?

However, after the "Professor's Eye" observation just now, Ms. Dai Li seems to have overcome her sadness... There is no trace of sadness in her mood... Instead, there is a little more resentment...

The so-called "Professor's Vision" is a "secret" that Abner created in the past two days by combining "spiritual vision", "mind reading" and the ability to "perceive desire" learned from the "magic mirror". "Technology" can more accurately and completely observe the changes in other people's emotions and thoughts.

And because of the introduction of the "devil's" ability characteristics, this "secret technique" is quite hidden when used, and is almost impossible to be detected by extraordinary people of the same level, even if the other party has high inspiration.

"Based on the fiery love that Daley had for Dunn in the original work, she wanted to avenge him even if it cost her life, so we can rule out the possibility of her changing her heart...

"So...Ms. Daly, have you confirmed that Dunn is not dead? Have you dug a grave?"

“I don’t know if Dunn ever came back to look for her after parting ways with Crossfia…

"However, with Dunn's temperament, I'm afraid he's still worried that his own appearance will embarrass Dai Li, right?"

With this in mind, Abner took out the lesson plan and began to teach today's lessons to several "top students".

…

At No. 15 Minsk Street, shortly after the tarot session ended, Miss Sharon, who was pale and delicate in appearance, knocked on the glass of Klein's window.

Looking at Miss Temperance sitting quietly across from her, Klein smiled and said without waiting for the other party to ask.

"This is the fee for the 'Deep Sea Naga Hair' owed to you and the protection fees for the previous two days, totaling 500 pounds."

After speaking, he took out two wads of cash from his pocket.

Since the 1,000 pounds promised by the Heart of Machinery has not yet arrived, Klein could only owe Sharon the debt last week. Now that he has received the money from Mr. "The Hanged Man" for selling the "Werewolf" trait, he will naturally have to return.

Sharon looked at him quietly, then took only 200 pounds, shook her head and said:

"I didn't take action this time, you don't have to pay..."

"Bodyguards are paid on a daily basis! I know what you mean is that we are friends, so you won't care about the cost anymore.

"But this is also my friend's thoughts." Klein smiled and handed over the remaining cash again.

Sharon glanced at him and finally reached out and took it.

As soon as she turned her bloodless palm, the cash disappeared, and then she asked in an erratic and unreal voice:

"That underground ruins with evil spirits? Did you tell them about it in the Tarot Club?"

"I only described the situation in the main hall, and then Mr. Tower told me part of the history of the Dual Archons Era of the Fourth Age... I told you this before." Klein did not ask Sharon why she asked this. I just wanted to think about it and said.

We even learned that Trunsoest became the "Judge" and Tudor became the "Red Priest"... But this news was that the "Tower" was sold to Miss "Justice" alone. Logically speaking, "The World" does not I don’t know, so I won’t tell you yet. Klein added regretfully.

He still remembered that when this piece of knowledge appeared in the "Tarot Session" for Sharon's science popularization, the young lady had been holding her chin with one hand and listening intently... She seemed to have a hobby of watching dramas and listening to various rumors.

Sharon raised her head, said "hmm" and said succinctly:

"Someone is digging a passage to the underground ruins."

Due to the foreshadowing of the previous question, Klein immediately realized what the other party was talking about.

Someone is digging a tunnel to get into that underground building? Klein pondered for a few seconds and asked:

"What is that Baron? I think his name is Pound?"

He remembered that the other person was a descendant of Tudor and lived on West Vilas Street where the Backlund Police Department was located. He had almost been deceived by him when he went to interrogate him.

"Yeah." Sharon responded affirmatively.

"What is he looking for? Doesn't he know there is an evil spirit inside? Doesn't he know that all the previous Extraordinaries in his family died inside?" Klein asked a few questions as if talking to himself.

Sharon sat quietly and answered seriously:

"I don't know if he knows."

"...How long does it take for him to dig through it?" Klein asked after careful consideration.

"For two to three months, he will be alone for the time being." Sharon gave her own judgment.

Phew, Klein let out a small breath and said:

"There's no need to rush. When I'm ready, we'll go to 'visit' him together."

At this point, he suddenly realized and understood Sharon's intention in asking:

"Do you want to reveal this matter to the members of the Tarot Society? Do you want to ask 'Tower' or 'Judgement' to go with you?"

"Yes! 'Tower' has probably become a demigod. With him around, the danger can be reduced." Because "Judgment" was recognized by her as Xio, Sharon had always guessed that "Tower" should be Abner.

But after the "Apostle of Desire" incident, she wasn't sure.

After all, only half a year ago, "Heroic Detective" was just a sequence 9.

Mr. "Tower" is definitely not a demigod, I'm sure of that...but he most likely has demigod methods!

Although he thought so in his heart, after ostensibly hesitating for a while, Klein agreed to Sharon's suggestion and decided to invite Mr. "Tower" to go with him.

I just don’t know if sharing a Fourth Age relic can offset some of the angels’ favors?

…

After Daly returned to her residence, she pulled up all the curtains, then began to arrange the ceremony, and finally took out a mirror and placed it in the center of the altar.

This is the secret technique she learned from Stuart to pray to the Sealed Artifact "2-111" of the Church of Steam.

"The executioner who controls the thunder, the notary who makes the contract, the magic mirror that opens the all-seeing eye, the humble servant of the great master, Arrodes...

“I pray for your power to come upon this mirror;

"I pray that your knowledge will bring answers to my questions..."

After reciting the incantation, she spiritually ignited a piece of parchment with the question on it, causing the dust to dissipate on the altar.
