Mystery: Start with the Reader

Melissa hesitated again and again, but finally agreed to the agreement with Mr. Blaine because of her desire for extraordinary power and her love for machinery.

However, she had just moved to Backlund with her brother and had not yet been admitted to Backlund University of Technology and Technology. She could not borrow the school's materials and laboratories to make her own works.

Abner thought about this. He wrote a letter to Melissa and asked her to hand it over to Bishop Linton, the bishop of Leverage Church. The latter would naturally arrange a suitable experimental environment for her.

——Bishop Linton is one of the friends of Detective Essinger. The teacher asked her to take more care of Abner before leaving Backlund. Just before going to find Dunn, Abner also took the initiative to go to Leverage Church and visit the lady.

After Melissa took the letter and the drawings of the "projector" and followed her brother to say goodbye to Detective Blaine and left his villa, Benson carefully considered his words and said to his sister tactfully:

"Mr. Blaine is handsome, knowledgeable, has a very good personality, and his financial situation is also very good...but it is more suitable for him to just be an ordinary friend."

Benson emphasized the word "only."

Melissa knew what her brother was thinking, but the matter was so important that she didn't plan to mention it to Benson until she figured out some precautions, so she only answered perfunctorily: "I know... don't worry."

But Benson, who noticed his sister's attitude, became even more worried...

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the Babur Valley of the Tasok River Basin, more than a dozen people holding badges and disguised to varying degrees stood in different positions, as if waiting for something quietly.

Among them, there was only one young man with black hair and green eyes, good looks, and a poet's temperament. He did not make any cover up and showed his appearance so openly.

However, no one present believed that he had used his original appearance. They only thought that he had used an extraordinary item that could change his appearance.

Soon, the people who were on guard against each other were shrouded in thin light, and disappeared in a blur or illusion, entering a "hidden" world.

"The hermits of destiny gather here again... This line is a bit shameful..." The young man with a poetic temperament, Leonard, uttered a mantra in his heart to enter the "Secret Door", and looked around After looking around for a few times, I found that I was in a secret world that was "isolated" from reality.

"This is a 'treasure house' created by a high-sequence extraordinary person as an 'apprentice'... It was 'decrypted' by a saint from the Jacob family, and 'deceived' the 'rules' of this space. That's why you can use that 'shame' spell to enter here." Pales's old voice sounded in Leonard's ears.

"In other words, we didn't go through the real 'door' in this space before?" Leonard said suddenly.

While Leonard was quietly communicating with the old man in his body, the "Hermits of Destiny", a gathering composed of the Fourth Age "stealer" family, wild "stealers", etc., also officially began.

Since such a gathering had only been held for a long time, the members had accumulated a lot of items and information, so the initial transaction rate was very high.

Leonard, on the other hand, mainly waits and sees, only occasionally making a move and buying one or two pieces of materials.

However, at this moment, a commission initiated by a member attracted Leonard’s attention:

"Help me pay attention to the people who sell the extraordinary properties of 'Decryption Scholars' in various extraordinary gatherings in Backlund... As long as there are clues, I will pay a reward of 100 pounds... If the identity and location of the person with the properties can be pinned down, you can start from I got 500 pounds here."

The speaker was a man who spoke with a deliberately hoarse voice. He wore a hood with a mask underneath, revealing only a pair of blue eyes.

"'Decryption scholar'? It seems that a 'decryption scholar' died in the home of the military attache in Intis today, and his characteristics were taken away by the murderer...Old man, what do you think of this tightly wrapped guy? Could it be someone from the Intis Embassy?" Leonard asked in a low voice.

"Don't get involved with this matter... I said before that this may involve the evil spirit of a 'Sun Chaser', which is not something you can provoke now." Pales warned in a serious tone.

"I see..." Leonard nodded invisibly, but then he couldn't help but asked curiously, "Old man, I remember you said that the 'Sun Chaser' was an acquaintance of yours? Can you? Tell me who he is?"

Pales was silent for half a minute before replying: "It's Richelieu, the third pope of the Eternal Sun Church..."

"The Pope? But I remember that among the seven righteous churches, only the Eternal Blazing Sun does not have a 'Pope'?" Leonard asked strangely after hearing this.

"That's because three consecutive popes died inexplicably, so after his death, the 'Eternal Sun' church canceled the position of 'pope' and changed it to the Round Table Council... It was claimed that this was more in line with the image and image of the gods. idea……"

…

At the same time, in the restaurant of the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street, Abner, who was sitting at the head table, looked at Hugh, Hazel, Elaine, and Fanny on both sides of the table who were discussing specific matters about the film and television company, and felt something in his heart. Some subtle sense of déjà vu.

"Why does it feel like a fool's perspective in the Tarot Society?

"What is this? Abner's friend exchange meeting?

"Well, in terms of the quality of the personnel alone, it is much higher than the original Tarot Society... but the quality is much lower than that of the mysterious space above the gray fog..."

Abner complained a few words in his mind, then joined the discussion, and brought the topic back to the incident between the Intis Embassy and Mr. Sarri. After all, compared to the film and television company, Mr. Sarri's safety was more important. Something more important.

"The military attachés who are close to my grandfather have all been sent to other places to perform missions by Confidential Secretary Johnson for various reasons. It will take at least three or four days to come back. I haven't been able to contact them yet... However, it can be seen from this point Come on, that Johnson is definitely premeditated!" Fanny bit her lower lip when she said this, and added, "In addition, I have already found out that confidential secretary Johnson is one of the top three secretaries in Intis. A direct member of the Fulais family. The Fulais family is currently suppressing our Surrey family in Parliament."

The Foleys family? I remember that the Emperor’s diary mentioned a Count of Fleiss, and his wife was a close bed friend with the Emperor... In addition, the wife of an ancestor of the Delien family from whom Owen, the special envoy, was born, also had a negative relationship with the Emperor. ...and these two families later became the "main force" in overthrowing the Gustav dynasty...could this be a backlash against the "Green Light"?

Of course, complaints are complaints, but Abner also knew that it would not be because of this reason. After all, with Intis's atmosphere, the emperor's actions were nothing.

I am afraid that those two families, as nobles of the Sauron Dynasty, have been suppressed a lot since Russell came to power, so they resisted so fiercely.

At this time, Xio Ye organized a sentence and said: "The investigation of the Surrey family case has been handed over to the Machinery Heart by the Nighthawks... and the answer given by the embassy is that Mr. Surrey did not go to work today. ...he is missing.

"However, since the exposure of a Spiritual Order stronghold in the dock area and the resulting extraordinary events have attracted most of the attention of the Church of Steam, the Heart of Machinery has not invested much investigative power, and it does not even want to care about Intis at all. internal affairs."

As for the information that special envoy Owen might be a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Xio had already told Abner in private and did not mention it here.

Did the incident of the Animated Order attract the attention of the Church of Steam? This is too coincidental...

If you just want Mr. Surrey to admit the crime of colluding with Prince Edsac, will you be able to block the Steam Church's investigation? I'm afraid there is a deeper conspiracy behind this...

Abner, who had a bad feeling in his heart, looked at the time on the clock and found that 24 hours had passed since the last "prophecy", so he no longer hesitated and directly opened the "Pure White Eye" to make today's "prophecy" ":

"Mr. Surrey's current location."

A few seconds passed, and he didn't get any revelation. The prediction failed!

Abner's heart couldn't help but sink.
