Mystery: Start with the Reader

"The occult book written by the Duke of Blood?" Xio immediately became interested when she heard this, and she took the book casually, but found that it felt very thin, as if it only had a few pages.

After flipping through the pages and reading it briefly, Xio found that the first few pages only contained some common knowledge about the Duke when he was in the middle sequence, and he couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Why are there only so few pages? And... the handwriting seems to be copied by you? "

"Yes... I have only read a few pages of that book so far, and I will copy it down for you after I am sure there is no problem." Abner smiled and nodded, explaining.

He knew that the current Xio was very different from her in the original book, especially after becoming a toolman of Gulong in East Chester County, this Miss "Judgment" had become cautious enough. Although her habit of reciting silently is still there, it is almost impossible to imagine that the original book uses Roselvin as a bait to induce her to read the honorable name of "The Fool".

So Abner was going to copy the content of "Blood Feast" to her bit by bit, gradually lowering her vigilance towards the book, and finally creating a chance for her to get the rubbings given by Viscount Karen. And the honorable name of the Fool is hidden in this last step, and she is left to discover it by herself.

Speaking of which, although the "Blood Feast" that Karen gave him is a rubbing copy, the rubbing age is not that close to the present, at least one or two hundred years old, and this can be seen from the style of the book cover. come out.

But this sense of age can be used for manipulation.

In this world, some knowledge itself is dangerous, such as the "Spirit World Knowledge" in Forsi's hand. Knowing this, Xio felt that Abner was taking risks for her by doing so, so she sipped it. lips, looked at Abner firmly, didn't say much, just said seriously: "Thank you, Abner."

Hearing Xio's thanks and feeling her deep emotion, Abner secretly sighed "ashamed". After all, although his original intention of doing this was to help Xio, he was actually taking advantage of the trust among his friends...

In fact, if it wasn't for Klein not allowing his name to be revealed at will, Abner really wanted to tell Xio the honorable name of "The Fool". I believe that with their current friendship, there is a high possibility that Xio will choose to trust him and take the initiative to recite the honorable name of "The Fool".

It's a pity that doing so would go against The Fool's will. Although Klein can't do anything about him at the moment, it will inevitably plant the seeds of distrust. In this way, it will be more difficult for Xio, and even Forsi, to join the Tarot Society.

After Xio put away the handwritten part of "Blood Feast", she chatted with Abner about the new news she had received in the Eastern Region, that is, a series of sudden "deaths" against the disciples of the Lord of Storms.

"Is there one in the East District too? It seems that the people who planned this incident behind the scenes didn't want to let the 'Punisher' be too leisurely..." Abner sighed and put the matter aside.

After all, what does the trouble of the Church of Storms have to do with him as a knowledgeable person? It's already a face-saving not to gloat.

...

Underground of Holy Wind Cathedral.

The "Singer of God" Ace Snake, wearing a black soft hat, swept his silver eyes and said to his Punisher elites:

"You should be very clear that this 'death' against the Lord's believers in the East End, Bridge District, and Docklands is a disgrace to all of us 'Punishers'.

"You have only one next task, and that is to investigate and arrest the mastermind behind the scenes.

"After the declaration, you have the right to use the level 1 sealed item, you must find out who is targeting us!"

Standing at the forefront, a middle-aged man wearing a modified captain's cap immediately led the crowd, clenched his fist, lightly tapped his chest and said, "Yes, Your Excellency the Cardinal!"

He was lean and unremarkable in appearance, but he had a black and blue anchor tattoo on his neck. It was the captain of Backlund's "Punisher" team.

...

West End, in the garden villa on Williams Street.

Rey stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room with the flower pot in his arms, letting the crimson moonlight shine on his body, with a gentle and kind expression on his face, coupled with her witch-derived seductiveness, created a different kind of beauty.

And her figure is more plump than before, not as slender as she was when she was happy.

Bernard stared at her obsessively, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. His face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he said sternly, "Rey, what curse did you put on me? Why do I find it more and more difficult to resist your curse?" Charm?!"

'Why? Ha ha, isn't this bad? ’ Rey turned around and smiled coquettishly.

Bernard knew that she was unwilling to tell the truth, but he didn't dare to continue to press, and he didn't even dare to look at her anymore, so he turned his head and said, "Some of the subordinates I sent out to pollute ordinary people with 'Extraordinary Characteristics' It fell into the hands of the Church of Storms, and although the arrested people don’t know who they are working for, it will be exposed sooner or later.”

"Okay, don't complain, just withdraw all your people, they have already demonstrated their value... Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know it yet, because their efforts not only dragged the 'Punisher' personnel further behind. Investigate those cumbersome 'dead' incidents, and let the 'Singer of God' decide to use the '1' level sealed item when appropriate." Rey said slowly while stroking the flower bone with his white and tender fingers.

But her words completely frightened Lieutenant Bernard, he immediately widened his eyes and said: "Are you crazy? What are you planning to do? If you provoke the '1' sealed item of the Church of the Storm, we will all be finished sooner or later. They will fight against such a dangerous thing for saving us."

Rey listened to Bernard's hysterical yelling with great interest, and after he finished venting, he smiled and said, "Calm down? Hehe, speaking of everything I gave you before, you have done very well. So I decided to give you another reward..."

As she said that, she undressed and took off the tulle on her body, and walked towards Lieutenant Bernard with the flowerpot in her arms.

"You... what are you going to do?" Bernard was not confused by the "beautiful scenery" in front of him this time, because his spirituality was already frantically warning, as if the person opposite was about to turn into some kind of terrifying monster.

"Of course... to reward you with a chance to transform, to make you a part of my little one."

Rey's voice was still so clear and sweet, and her tone was still so seductive and charming, but Bernard felt that she was more terrifying than the voice of the devil!

Seeing Rey approaching step by step, Bernard no longer hesitated, stroked a magical item in the "Sun Domain" on his finger, and was about to make the first move.

This is the "Ring of Light" ring he bought at an extraordinary party. It can make the wearer an emissary of light, a servant of the sun, immune to many diseases, and very restrained the ability of "Witch of Pain". It can also master the divine power, allowing the wearer to summon dazzling beams and use most of the sun domain spells.

It's a pity that just as he turned this thought around, there were bursts of severe pain in his head! The pain was so severe that he couldn't even stand upright, let alone use a magical item.

As for the immune disease effect of the "ring of light" ring, it has no effect on this headache at all.

At this time, Rey had already walked in front of Bernard in a naked posture. She lowered her head to look at Mr. Lieutenant who was lying on the ground in pain, and said with a smile: "I remember I told you that it is neither extraordinary ability , nor is it a curse... Items from the Sun Domain? Hehe, the price should not be low, but the effect is not great."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and faced Bernard with her smooth back.

Bernard no longer had the strength to answer her words at this moment, he raised his head with all his strength, and what he saw at the last glance of his life was an extremely strange picture:

The crimson moonlight seemed to have life, extending to the intricate pattern tattoo on Rey's back. The tattoo began to squirm slowly under the moonlight, and then came to life completely, becoming a delicate flower in full bloom.

At the same time, the flower bone in the flower pot that Rey had been holding suddenly opened up, turning into a flower that was very similar to the living tattoo, but it was as tall as two people, extremely huge!

Immediately afterwards, the flower in the flowerpot flew towards Lieutenant Bernard like a beast in the blink of an eye, opened its huge petals to envelop him, and swallowed him.

When everything was over, Rey put on the tulle pajamas again, looked at the still tight flower bud in his hand, and said to himself:

"Bernar, I didn't intend to touch you so early, but do you think you can hide it from me by deliberately sacrificing a large number of low-level personnel?

"However, since the Church of the Storm has decided to use the '1' level sealed item...then, we can also attract those few people to join the game.

"Hehe, Bernard's method is still somewhat effective. At least he made the Witch Sect and the senior management of MI9 suspicious of me... But so what, without you, I can still find helpers to complete the plan."
