Mystery: Start with the Reader

On Friday, the bells rang quietly at night, as if they were coming from a very far away place.

Abner arrived at the park in the middle of Williams Street as agreed, and soon set his sights on a young gentleman with neat black hair and dark brown eyes.

He has mixed-race features, but his appearance is more Loen.

But these are not the reasons why Abner pays attention to the other person... What he notices is actually the iron-black gloves on the gentleman's hands, the dark gold sunbird-shaped brooch on his left chest, and the dark badge hanging on his right chest. and the revolver in the gun bag.

"The 'Sun Brooch', the 'Confession' pistol...the gloves should be the one that was taken from Heras in the 'Capin Case' and appeared in the original work. It is an extraordinary item with the ability of the 'Punishing Knight'...

"As for the other badge, I don't know where Klein got it from... but preliminary 'analysis' shows that it should be something from the 'Sleepless One' path.

"Coupled with the 'Spiritual Breathing' spell that he must have carried with him, Klein is fully armed...

"Besides, the way he transformed, if he wore gold-rimmed glasses, he would look a bit like Hermann."

While Abner was observing Klein, Klein was also observing him and complaining in his mind:

Another image? Am I the faceless person, or are you the faceless person?

And the reason why he could recognize the gentle guy in front of him as Mr. "Tower" was because the other person was already silently reciting the honorable name of "The Fool".

Since the details of the operation had already been determined above the gray fog, the two parties just made eye contact and passed each other, which also announced the official start of the operation.

Entering the nearby sewer, Abner successfully unsealed the exquisite card, summoned the "Bone Dragon", and drove it into a state of "psychological invisibility" all the way to an abandoned chapel in the middle of Williams Street.

——This is their planned strategy, with "World" and "Control" acting in the open, while "Tower" is hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities to move.

The space in the abandoned church was small, withered vines covered the walls, feces and debris were intertwined, piles of rocks alternated with withered grass, and gray stones fell everywhere.

Fortunately, the "Bone Dragon" belongs to the undead, and the spirit body is not affected by the terrain. Otherwise, even if it is in the "psychological invisibility" state, it will definitely be noticed.

At this time, in the half-collapsed corner, a middle-aged man wearing black tight clothing was using digging tools to dig underground from the hidden hole.

But suddenly, a dark underground palace appeared in front of him. In his madness, the man suddenly realized that there was another person quietly "looking" at him.

That is a person with no eyes, no nose, no mouth, no eyebrows, and no ears!

The man, Baron Rafter Pound, shrank his pupils and felt paralysis rising from his waist down, along his spine, and straight to the back of his head.

Without even thinking about it, he immediately dropped all his belongings and backed away crazily.

His elbows hit the ground, and his flesh and blood were bruised, but he couldn't feel any pain.

Finally, Rafter Pound left the tunnel and returned to the abandoned chapel.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he happened to meet Sharon and Klein who came to stop him from continuing to dig.

Seeing Miss Sharon, who was wearing a Gothic palace dress and a small black bonnet, with a face that was so pale that it was almost transparent, and non-human light blond hair and blue eyes, slowly approaching him, Rafe Pound took a few steps back and almost tripped over a stone.

After all, in such a scene, if you meet such a person, no one will believe you if you say you have met a female ghost... Although, in a sense, the "revengeful ghost" is a real female ghost.

At this moment, he seemed to remember something, suppressed his fear, and showed an expression of apprehension and hope, excitement and expectation:

"You, are you the evil spirit in the underground palace?

"Yes, it must be you!

"Sure enough, my judgment was correct. After the real 'Black Emperor' appears, the glory of the 'Blood Emperor' will definitely reappear!"

Black Emperor? Are you referring to the grand thief ‘Black Emperor’? Your Excellency, Baron, you seem to have misunderstood something... Although after using the "Black Emperor" card to strengthen my soul body, my spiritual body must have some characteristics of the "Black Emperor"... But that is also Russell's black body. The Emperor has nothing to do with the Emperor you were during the War of Four Emperors...

Hiding in the shadows and watching Sharon's free play, Klein couldn't help but curse a few times.

He and Sharon's original plan was to scare Rafter Pound away by pretending to be a ghost, so that he would never dare to pry into the underground ruins again, but the other party's reaction was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Sharon was still for a second, and just when she was about to ask something, Baron Pound's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly took a few steps to the side and came to a stone wall that was still intact.

This... something really happened... Klein and Sharon noticed the abnormality at the same time, and each responded. One of them raised his right hand slightly, pulled out the revolver, took out a charm and held it in his hand. The small church was filled with crimson moonlight.

Rafter Pound didn't even look at them, but banged his head against the wall until he fainted with bleeding from his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, he got up again, and his eyes were bloodshot for some reason.

The baron stuck out his tongue, licked the scarlet liquid left on his forehead, and said intoxicatedly:

“Tudor’s bloodline is so delicious, it’s simply intoxicating.

"This will push my hatred beyond its limit and help me temporarily expand the boundaries of the seal."

Since he had a plan, Klein did not panic. He just pointed his gun at the opponent and shouted:

"The evil spirit in the ruins?"

The evil spirit looked at him with a smile, nodded and said:

"You guessed it right.

"I thought you were weak before, so I wanted to pollute your spirit, enter your dreams, and trick you into rescuing me. Who knew, haha, you are also a person with a secret."

It's so straightforward... Fortunately, everyone present except for the evil spirit is a member of the Tarot Club. The so-called 'secrets' can make Mr. 'Fool' take the blame...

While Klein was thankful, he asked directly: "What do you want to do?"

The evil spirit did not answer, but raised his head, glanced at only half of the dome of the church, and sneered: "The ones hiding up there are also your companions, right?

"He hid it well, and the refined undead item is also very powerful. Is that what you rely on? But are you sure you can threaten me just by relying on this toy?"

As he said that, he looked at the talisman held in Klein's hand and mocked: "If I didn't have something else to ask for your help, I would definitely let you see what terror is!

"It will definitely be very interesting to make the calm detective and the restrained spirit pee their pants in fear!"

I really should have followed Mr. "Tower"'s advice and brought a monocle... to see who scares whom...

Klein could tell that the other party was using sarcasm to suppress his own morale, making him and the others feel at an absolute disadvantage. This way, he would not be able to refuse any requests he made...

And the fact that he used this method shows that his condition is indeed not good...

But even though I knew this, I was still angry, and it was hard to talk back... I could only hope that Mr. "Ta" would be well prepared.

At this time, Abner, who had been exposed by Xingzang, naturally appeared.

As for the "Bone Dragon", it remains invisible to prevent its huge size from scaring nearby residents.

Abner was also unhappy with the words of the three-in-one evil spirit. After all, the "calm" detective could also refer to him.

Looking at Abner who was slowly falling to the ground, the evil spirit sneered again: "Aren't you going to continue sitting on that toy of yours?

"The most powerful thing about it is that it reveals its incomplete mythical form, but I happen to not be afraid of it."

Abner took a deep look at him, then took out the "Magic Mirror" without saying a word, raised his cuffs, showed the "Lilith's Tears" hanging at hand, and finally said with a smile:

"I want you to rephrase your language and show some basic courtesy."

The evil spirit looked at the two items and was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Once you release the power contained in them, you will be dead!"

This seemed like a threat, but in fact his tone had softened a lot.

Abner gave him a meaningful look, then used his fingers to peel off the hair on his forehead, revealing an invisible silver line, and said with a smile:

"Do you know this?"

The evil spirit was silent for a long time again, then changed from its previous high attitude and sighed:

"I was just an innocent person who was murdered because of Alistair Tudor's ambition. Because of the constraints of the corpse, I was trapped in that underground ruins for nearly or more than two thousand years.

"I want you to help me get out of this situation and let me be a free spirit. I swear, I will not deal with innocent people."

Klein was stunned by the evil spirit's arrogant and respectful behavior. While he was curious about Mr. "Tower"'s two items, he also sighed in his heart: He is indeed a favored one of the Mother Goddess of the Earth... powerful. The items are endless!

Under the nervous gaze of the evil spirit, Abner pinched the pendant named "Lilith's Tears" in his hand, seemed to ponder for a few seconds before asking with a smile:

“Innocent people killed by Tudor’s ambition?

"Then you are Sauron?

“Or Einhorn?

"Or...Medici?"
