Mystery: Start with the Reader

After listening to Abner's explanation, Emlyn subconsciously repeated what he had said in front of Sherlock: "I am a profound and noble vampire, and I will not rely on my appearance to make a living."

"But as far as I know, the price of some expensive dolls is not low." Abner looked at the other party nonchalantly and said leisurely.

"How do you know?" Emlyn's expression suddenly froze, and he subconsciously looked at Hazel next to him. I thought it was her who told the detective in front of me.

But then he remembered that this detective was a friend of Itris, and he also solved the "fraud" case that Heidi directed and acted in... he should know his hobby.

Sensing the change in his expression, Abner chuckled and said, "Priest White, Karen and I are also friends, and we also know Lydia. I have heard of some of your reputation in the vampire clan."

Emlyn opened his mouth and tried to explain a few words, but ultimately did not speak.

Then, he deliberately coughed twice and changed the subject pretending not to care:

"So, what is the specific project you are talking about? How much are you going to pay me for my 'performance'?"

After a brief thought, he felt that since he became a descendant valued by his ancestor and would be the savior of the vampire clan in the future, some necessary sacrifices would probably be necessary...

Abner smiled and shook his head and said: "This project is still in the preparation stage. After the specific preparations are completed, the company will send lawyers and agents to negotiate with you about the specific work and salary.

"You can also take this time to think about it more."

His rhetoric made the "film and television company" that was still in the state of a grassroots team seem quite formal, and also frightened Emlyn for a while. It took him a long time to understand what Abner's words meant...

So, I’m still not sure how much I can earn? Emlyn suddenly had the illusion that he had fallen into the trap of the other party's language, but he couldn't figure out what the other party had deceived him... After all, he had nothing to lose.

On the other side, after Abner and Emlyn had initially finalized their intention to cooperate, they found that Bishop Utravsky had also finished taking care of the patients, so he walked up to him, exchanged a few words with him, and then made some pointers. asked:

"Bishop, I would like to know the whereabouts of a man."

Bishop Utravsky lowered his head, glanced at him with a kind smile, and said, "The Mother Goddess has already told me that you can find the person you want to see at the address recorded on this piece of paper."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and handed it to Abner.

Lilith didn't let me go to see you this time? Is the star world busy? While strange thoughts were running through Abner's mind, he took the letter and took a look:

"36 Strand Street, St. George's Quarter."

Dunn lives in the St. George area? No. 36 Strand... I remember that the shooting club that Caspars first introduced me to was on that street... Although I never went there because I got to know Hugh...

Abner thoughtfully folded the letter and put it in his pocket, then drew a simple Holy Emblem of the Church of the Earth on his chest and praised "Merciful Mother" by the way.

After doing this, Abner said goodbye to Bishop Ben Giant, then returned to Hazel. After chatting for a few more words, he left the Harvest Church.

After he left, Daisy, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward and asked curiously: "Pastor Macht, who was that gentleman just now?"

"He is Abner Brain, the 'heroic detective' you always talk about." Hazel looked back at the door and replied with a smile.

"So he is Detective Blaine!" Daisy's eyes lit up, and then she said angrily, "I should have come over just now to say hello."

Although half a year has passed, the people of the East District are still grateful for Abner's destruction of the "Black Skull Party" and the rescue of many residents - although that was only the achievement of the "Desolate One" placed on his head.

"If there is a chance in the future... I just promised him to be his 'tour guide' for a new project... You can come over and help." Hazel stretched out her normal hand and patted Daisy on the shoulder. .

This help must be paid. Hazel knew that Daisy's family was in trouble, so she wanted to try her best to supplement the little girl's self-esteem without damaging her self-esteem.

This idea of ​​taking care of other people's feelings was impossible for her to consider half a year ago, but now she does it naturally...

Speaking of which, although Daisy and Freya's mother gradually recovered under the treatment of Emlyn's potion, her previous illness and the potential-stimulating "potion of life" that Itris drank in order to delay her symptoms... There are also many hidden dangers left...

According to Emlyn's judgment, Ms. Liv will lose at least fifteen years of her life.

Iris actually blamed herself for such a result, so she didn't dare to come to church recently, but Liv, Freya, Daisy and her daughter didn't mean to blame him, but were very grateful.

After all, without his potion and without his efforts to carry Liv out of the East District, Liv would have died without even having a chance to shorten her lifespan.

…

West District, Intis Embassy.

The confidential secretary with a mustache walked into Mr. Owen's office again and reported: "Mr. Special Envoy, I have made arrangements to assign tasks to several military attachés who have a good relationship with Mr. Sarri in a 'reasonable' manner. They won’t be at the embassy for two or three days.”

"Very good... It would be unwise to fight an 'astronomist' in his workshop. Even I can't guarantee that we can win it quickly. If there is too much movement, it attracts the power of the church or Loen officials. It would be bad if you interfere... It would be safer to wait until he comes to the embassy tomorrow before taking action."

Owen nodded with satisfaction at first, and then seemed to remember something, and ordered his secretary, "First withdraw the people who are following Surrey's granddaughter, so as not to arouse his suspicion."

"Tomorrow... what if Mr. Surrey receives news of the death of Archbishop Ramil in this short period of time?"

"Such a situation will not happen. The 'Eternal Witch' can delay it for at least one day. Before tomorrow night, even the Steam Church in Intis will not receive the news, let alone Surrey in Backlund. ." Mr. Owen said confidently.

"As for his granddaughter, she is just a low-sequence Beyonder. Once Surrey is captured, she will naturally not be able to escape... It is not even impossible to trick her into coming to the embassy and throwing herself into a trap."

…

In the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street, Abner heard that Emma had sent him a letter as soon as he came back. He took the letter and read it in surprise, and then frowned.

"The content in the letter seems to be an expression of longing and admiration... But the relationship between Emma and I has not gone so deep... That girl is not the character to write such things... Well, even 'Magic' In the "dream" spread that night, the heroine didn't even have her...

"Is this a 'secret letter'? The lady herself is a 'decryption scholar', so she thinks others can decipher the secret content she hides in the letter?

"Are you trusting my reasoning ability, or testing my abilities?"

Abner was not in the mood to play any puzzle games. He directly opened the "Pure White Eyes" and made today's prophecy:

"The secret hidden in this letter."

As his pure white pupils suddenly shone, he got inspiration from the "River of Destiny":

"The cloud of disaster hangs over your mutual friend."
