Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the bedroom on the third floor, Abner walked into the room with three ladies and closed the door under Mrs. Scudder's incomprehensible eyes.

Then, he closed the curtains, lit candles, set up the mirror, and then came to the sofa with Hazel and Xio and became a bystander.

Fanny took a deep breath and drew the symbols and ciphers that Abner had just taught her on the paper.

In fact, Abner did not copy Stewart's secret technique, but made certain improvements.

Because he has a good understanding of Arolds' ability and character, he knows that the "obstacles" and small tricks "designed" by Stewart will not have much effect on the dog-licking mirror.

It is actually very simple to bypass those so-called "restrictions". It is only willing to cooperate because it does not "scare people away" once... In short, it is just playing.

The more severe the "restrictions" are, the more complete Arrodes may make you "socially dead"...

Instead of doing this, it is better to keep it original... at least the result will not be worse.

In the room, the environment gradually became dark, and a chilly wind blew.

Suddenly water rippled on the surface of the mirror, condensing dark red ancient Fusak characters:

“You summoned Arrods, who is looking for his master, and you must abide by the corresponding rules.

"When you ask a question, you answer a question. If you lie or refuse to answer, you will be punished."

"Okay." Fanny, who had already learned this from Abner, responded calmly.

Xio and Hazel also looked at this scene curiously, leaning forward slightly to observe the words in the mirror more closely.

Especially Hazel, she has been exposed to very few extraordinary items and ritual magic in comparison, but she yearns for these very much. Even if she becomes restrained and cautious under the guidance of Bishop Utravsky, she still Still can't give up this nature.

And Abner once again reminded: "Try to ask some open-ended questions, without 'whether' or sentence structure similar to options...Arrods doesn't like it and may refuse to answer."

This experience was summed up by Ikanser using his own rich experience, and then he informed Stewart...and Stewart told it to Ms. Daly when he "diffused" the secret technique.

"I understand." Fanny nodded, and then asked the question in a respectful tone:

"Dear Arolds, my question is why Johnathan Foles targeted my grandfather and me."

After all, she didn't dare to ask the question about her grandfather's whereabouts right away, fearing to get the answer that she didn't dare to think about.

The surface of the mirror quickly fluctuated like water, and then a picture of a young man with two mustaches appeared in it.

After several days of investigation, even Huanrouer, who helped to find out the information, recognized this young man as Johnathan Fulais, the confidential secretary of the Intis embassy.

At this time, the young man was writing a letter to his family elders.

As the camera zoomed in, everyone saw clearly what he had written.

It turns out that just because his ancestor John was the ambassador of Intis to Loen, he also wanted this position? So Fanny's grandfather, a rival, must be eliminated at all costs? For this reason, he even did not hesitate to mobilize family forces to suppress the Surrey family... And for such a ridiculous reason and such a ridiculous proposal, judging from the series of events that followed, his family actually agreed? !

It turned out that the person who secretly colluded with Baron Larry and the butler of Prince Edsac was actually Johnson. In order to get rid of the responsibility for the assassination of Duke Negan and the Great Smog Incident, he planned to frame Mr. Cotton Surrey in a desperate attempt. And he planned to use the entire Surrey family to threaten him and force him to admit his guilt.

It turns out that Johnson sent people to capture Fanny just to use her to further break through Mr. Surrey's psychological defense...

After reading Johnson's report letter to the elders of the Fulais family, Fanny was so angry that her body was shaking, but she felt paradoxically relaxed because she had not heard of her grandfather pleading guilty in the past few days. The news shows that my grandfather has not given in yet...maybe there is still a chance to rescue him?

Hazel was filled with indignation after reading Johnson's letter. This was the second worst person she had ever encountered... The first was naturally the trafficker Capin who kidnapped the girl.

Although Xio was also very angry in her heart, she had seen too many dirty things in MI9. In comparison, this kind of frame-up by colleagues might seem very involved, but in essence it was just that.

Abner frowned because the letter didn't even mention a word about special envoy Owen... and according to the information from Xio's princess boss, the special envoy was actually "Lust", a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society" jury. Buna really didn't believe he would stay out of it.

"It's very hidden!" Abner sighed secretly, and then he saw the dark red light in the mirror outline lines, which were constantly moving and changing, as if they were about to form a new sentence.

Abner was also very concerned about this, not because he wanted to see how Fanny died in society, but because he wanted to use it to evaluate whether his plan was going well.

Speaking of which, the reason why he offered to teach this secret technique was because he wanted to use Arrodes to tell Fanny the truth about his grandfather's death...and then use the mirror's vulgar and shameful questions to dilute Fanny. The sadness distracted her attention, lest she get into trouble and take too extreme actions.

Fanny obviously realized that the mirror was about to ask a question, so she concentrated on looking into the mirror and saw a line of dark red text that looked like blood stains:

"Besides you, who else was the protagonist of the peach dream you had in the early morning of December 15, 1349?"

Fuck! Abner was stunned when he saw this question. He didn't know Fanny's dreams on other days, but he knew it very clearly in the early morning of December 15th...after all, he had watched the "replay" with the "magic mirror" of……

"This can also make me lie? As expected of Arrods... If Fanny answers truthfully, she can target me after a break, right?

"After all, it's the same time. The same type of dream, and the same protagonist... Hehe, not only Xio, Hazel can definitely guess it...

"After all, no matter how you think about it, 'I' is the biggest suspect..."

"However, I was really wronged!!"

While wailing in his heart, Abner subconsciously looked at Xiu and Hazel, and sure enough, he saw that their expressions were slightly unnatural, with a mixture of embarrassment and confusion.

Phew... not bad... Fanny breathed a sigh of relief. As an Intis girl, she was not taboo about talking about this.

However, she still looked at Abner pretending to be "shy" and replied:

"It's Abner Brain."

It's over... Abner almost covered his face. He could clearly feel that Xio had turned his surprised eyes on him, and his eyes clearly meant "it's you" - Abner didn't need to read this. You can see it with your heart.

Xio got up and took a shower that night, and when she happened to meet Forsi entering the bathroom, he guessed that there was an "evil" force affecting her. After all, she and Forsi had such a dream at the same time, and they were both in such a state that they had to The degree of cleaning is an absolutely low-probability event.

But she never thought it was Abner who was up to something...

Hazel looked at Abner with the same suspicion, but met Abner's calm gaze - he had been prepared for it, so he became a little unconfident and suspected that he was overthinking.

After all, on the 15th of last month, Abner was still on vacation in Bayam and was not in Backlund at all.

After Fanny finished answering the question, she looked at this and that, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and it was different from the scene she had expected.

But before she had time to think about it, she heard Abner cough and said, "Ask the second question."

I admit that I was with you in my dream...can you give me a normal response? Fanny glanced at Abner resentfully, but fortunately she still remembered the business, calmed herself down, and asked the second question:

"Where is my grandfather Cotton Surrey now?"

"Magic Mirror" Arrodes dispersed the original dark red text and once again revealed a picture:

Johnson tampered with the embassy ceremony room;

Mr. Surrey entered the office and was attacked by a woman with a saintly temperament. He desperately tried to mobilize the ceremonial power of the embassy, ​​but failed;

The extraordinary properties extracted by Mr. Surrey were handed over by Johnson to an underling, who then sold the properties at a mysterious gathering in a valley near the Tasok River;

The woman who bought the properties traveled to a small city, then took a steam train to leave Loen and arrived at the border port city of Tosk in Intis. She immediately entered the sewers of the city, walked through the maze-like underground passages, and finally stopped at In front of an underground space that looks like a bar.

The scene ends here.

Grandfather is dead? ! Johnson killed him! The Foleys family...damn it!

When she saw the second scene, the glimmer of hope in Fanny's heart suddenly shattered. She staggered and almost fell down... but Abner's quick eyesight and hands quickly caught her.

Fortunately, after a series of preparations, Fanny was somewhat mentally prepared. She cried on Abner's chest for a while, then wiped away her tears, looked at the picture in the mirror again, and said doubtfully: "Kill." Who is my grandfather’s woman?”

"It seems to be a witch...a high-sequence witch." Abner was also someone who had faced off against a demigod witch, so he naturally recognized the abilities used by Katarina.

"Demigod? Archbishop Ramiel also died from the attack of the demigod witch..." Fanny murmured, feeling a little distracted and a little desperate.

If it were just Johansen, she would still try her best to get revenge...but the demigod witch who could kill Archbishop Ramiel was not something she could deal with anyway.

Abner saw her thoughts at this time, so he patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't lose hope. Although the demigod witch is scary, she is not impossible to deal with... At least the Church of Steam will not let her go. .”

Fanny's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she suddenly realized that she had just been dazzled by the sudden news, and she only wanted to take revenge alone...

Just as she was about to use practical actions to thank Abner, she saw the dark red text in the mirror appear again, forming a new question:

"In the peach dream in the early morning of December 15, 1349, which behavior of the other protagonist gave you the greatest satisfaction?"

At this time, even Fanny, who had always been open-minded, couldn't resist it, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
