Mystery: Start with the Reader

After returning to the safe house in reality from the gray fog, Abner touched his chin and said silently to himself: "Mr. Fool is a little touched... He even talked to me about some of his previous life. past……"

Recalling the emotions that Klein tried to suppress just now, Abner smiled knowingly, and then thought about the answers given by Arrods.

"The 'Box of Gods' actually has a lid? Since it was mentioned deliberately by Arrods, it is obviously very important... Why did Russell take it away? He mentioned it before, to release Mr. Door. Is it a plan to break through the seal of the Western Continent and let the 'Origin' help him get rid of the pollution?

"It's not certain for the time being, but there is a high probability that the lid is in the hands of someone related to Russell... Well, except for Bernadette... Even if he goes crazy in his later years, Russell is deliberately involving his little princess in these things. Right and wrong come out of nowhere.

"So who could it be? The adopted son Adabao? Edwina's teacher, the former Princess Isabella of Lundberg? The former Princess Bruna of the Byron Empire? Or his 'Men in Black' subordinates ?

"This may be a bit much...

"Secondly, I am a little concerned about a word that Arrods said...'a personality of the Queen of Scourge'...

"I used to think that the natural disaster queen split her soul... Now it seems that she has been divided into two personalities? And there are only a few abilities that can make angels split into different personalities...

"Is Goshinam the same as Russell, or is he influenced by the 'Empty Box Angel' or the 'True Creator'?"

Thinking of this, Abner couldn't help but imagine the golden goblet saying to the "Book of Scourges": Adam gave me scenes of humanity...

"Finally, the fifth survivor is characterized as a woman in her twenties... This clue is almost the same as none. After all, the other four are all women in their twenties, and they are all beautiful. We can probably guess who the fifth survivor is. Not too different...

"The only useful information is that the lady is in Backlund now.

"And the pollution on her body is most likely to be based on the 'knowledge wilderness', so the abnormal abilities she exhibits should probably be related to knowledge...

"Is there such a lady in Backlund? Hmm... I probably haven't met her before. It seems that this fifth survivor is well hidden."

After thinking for a while, Abner, who still had no clue, decided to ask Hugh to pay more attention to the libraries or laboratories of various universities to see if there are any ladies who meet the requirements...

After all, being polluted by the "source" is sometimes involuntary, and the survivor must be thirsty for all kinds of "knowledge".

Putting aside the matter of the "God's Box" for the time being, Abner glanced at the clock and felt that it was still early for Xio and Ms. Helen to return, so he put on his coat, put on his hat, picked up his cane, and went out to call a carriage. , and went straight to Harvest Church.

Some of his plans still require Lilith's consent and cooperation...

…

West District, No. 9 Bellotto Street, MI9 headquarters building.

Xio came to Her Royal Highness Vera's door, hesitated for more than ten seconds, and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" Soon, Her Highness Vera's voice came from inside the house.

Xio took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in, arriving at His Highness's desk.

Vera put down the document in her hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xio was silent for a few seconds, then hesitantly said: "Actually, I have something to ask you..."

"Tell me about it." Her Highness Vera looked at Xio with a smile, as if she had guessed something.

"It's just... I have a friend... well, it's Detective Abner Brain... He wants to ask you to meet at a safe house tonight, saying he has something very important to discuss with you... I don't know... "Don't hesitate to report.

She also knew that her statement was suspicious, but she didn't want to lie to deceive His Highness, so she could only try to show her "sincerity".

But before she finished speaking, she heard Her Royal Highness Vera nod cheerfully: "Okay!"

There was a hint of excitement in the usually majestic voice.

"I know it's rude... but I suggest you... um, what did you say?" Halfway through, Xio suddenly reacted and looked at Her Highness Vera in front of her in disbelief.

My Goddess, the words she prepared haven’t even been spoken yet!

"I said I agreed to this meeting." Her Highness Vera looked at Xio and couldn't help but smile, and her heroic face became much softer.

"Then...then at ten o'clock tonight...the location will be the safe house No. 5 that I reported." Although Xio was surprised, he still composed himself and reported the date and place.

As for why she had to report the safe house she set up to MI9? Naturally, it’s to reimburse renting expenses. And a certain amount of money was fictitiously used to rent real, unreported houses.

"Okay." Her Royal Highness Vera stood up, walked to the window, and pushed open the glass window that opened and closed.

Only then did Xio realize that at some point, there was some transparent fog in the room, which was quickly dissipating with the connection between indoors and outdoors.

But she didn't think much about it, because there was always a water boiling device in the room. It was an independent steam machine, and some water mist was normal.

Xio originally wanted to talk about Abner's purpose, but was interrupted by Her Highness Vera, who only said that they would talk after meeting.

After that, because there was nothing else to do, Xiu said goodbye and left.

After he left, Her Royal Highness Vera looked through the window at the towering Gothic bell tower not far away.

That is Backlund's most famous landmark - the "Bell of Order."

Then, she looked past the bell tower and towards the tiers of gorgeous palaces further away, which was the king's residence, Thordrak Palace.

The corners of Vera's mouth raised a little bit, and she thought to herself: Is this really selling me? The frequency of surveillance is much higher than before! Unfortunately, I am not the real Vera... The innocent girl who firmly opposed you has long since died in the mission you arranged.

Ha, but my evaluation of you remains the same. You are so courageous that even if you get rid of me, you are worried about the opinions of the royal family members and want to use the power of outsiders... How can someone who can only do conspiracy and conspiracy ascend to the "Black Emperor" "The god's position?"

The emperor means that the will must be implemented and the order established must be implemented, and there must be no compromise!

Rules established through compromise that go against normal circumstances...

Vera sighed coldly, then packed up her things and walked out of the office, walking towards her villa in a good mood.

She wanted to go back and change into more decent clothes.

…

In the St. George District, a room where debris is accumulated in a factory.

The mirror with obvious cracks flashed, and its surface became dark and deep, as if it was connected to another world.

Suddenly, a white hand stretched out from under the mirror, as if it had penetrated layers of water waves.

A figure then walked out of the mirror, it was "Lieutenant General Disease" Tracy, wearing a white shirt and beige trousers.

She looked around but found nothing, so she frowned with confusion on her face.

But at this moment, the moonlight suddenly shone in the room, and then a beautiful lady with silver hair appeared in front of her.

The exquisite appearance of this lady made Tracy feel dazed for a moment, and she actually felt similar to when she was "charmed" by Abner.

She felt ashamed and annoyed in her heart, but the lady in front of her was undoubtedly a demigod, or a strange demigod, so she did not dare to show her inner emotions. After politely greeting her, she carefully Asked: "Ma'am, where is Abner?"

Although Abner let her go before, in order to prevent her from doing evil in the future, he took some of her blood and hair to determine her location.

Once you hear the news that she is evil, you can get rid of her at any time.

But this time, it was Abner who used her blood and hair to use secret techniques to ask her to come here to meet him.

The silver-haired lady was naturally Ms. Helen, who followed Abner to Backlund. She glanced at Tracy a few times, and the expression on her face softened a little. After all, the other person's soul was not as dirty and depraved as she had imagined before.

Although it is still unclean, it is still within the scope of normal people.

"Abner invited me here to solve the problem of your mother being controlled..."
