Mystery: Start with the Reader

This scene, this wording, this accent, seemed to be a "scalper" at the station before the real name system was popularized in the previous life, which made Abner feel a little dazed for a while.

After regaining his senses, Abner opened his "Pure White Eye" with a special feeling of "nostalgia", wanting to see what this person was going to recommend to him, and why it was so expensive...

But soon, the corners of Abner's mouth twitched a few times, and he complained in his heart: Do I seem to be a relatively imaginary person? Although his complexion was a bit ugly due to building items all afternoon, it was obviously not caused by "virtuality"? !

Moreover, this potion has not only been diluted, but its effect is not as good as the "health potion" that Karen provided to Rosselt, it is also mixed with some addictive things...

Is this coming specifically for me? Or Elaine is stuffed?

Thinking of this, Abner looked back at Elaine, and saw that not only was she wearing the hat that could change the hair color and hairstyle, but she was also wearing a veil on her face, and her demeanor was a little different from before because she had burned the water all day. ...

It's impossible for the "Vice Admiral of Disease" to recognize her so quickly... In other words, this person came after me?

Abner pushed his glasses, smiled calmly and said, "Isn't this prepared by the pharmacist in the alley opposite the Red Theater?"

The man holding the vial looked surprised, and blurted out, "You know?"

But he quickly restrained himself, put on a wretched smile again, and said: "Since you know, sir, you should know that the medicine that the master provides every day is limited... and I have a special channel to get the goods..."

That's true... I was just making a casual conversation... Darkwill, you really don't forget your old profession! And your so-called special channel is mixing water, right?

Abner was speechless for a while, and instead of answering the other party's words, he said, "10 pounds is too expensive! Now, at 8 pounds per bottle, I will take whatever you have left."

The man obviously didn't expect Abner to be so rich, he rolled his eyes, grinned and said, "It's a pleasure to do business with a person like you, sir! Okay, I'll take a little bit of money and sell all the 10 bottles in my hand. I’ll sell it to you, and I’ll treat it as a friend of yours.”

So you're diluting it tenfold, right? I just don’t know if those extra “condiments” have been added by ten portions… Abner sneered secretly, but nodded with satisfaction on the surface: “Okay… But, I don’t have that much cash on me, you can buy it as you like.” I'll get it from the carriage."

After finishing speaking, he gave Elaine beside him a wink.

Although Elaine didn't know what was going on in front of her, and she didn't have a tacit understanding with Abner, but since she was an adult, she was obviously very shrewd and used to acting, so she deliberately held Abner's arm affectionately She coquettishly said a few words, and complained about the delay in shopping, until the latter comforted her with kind words, then she reluctantly pouted and glared at the drug seller.

Before going shopping, Elaine changed out of her maid outfit, and confirmed with Abner the "lover" persona when she was outside.

The man was relieved of his last defense by the performance of the two, and when he followed Abner back to the carriage, he smiled and said to Elaine: "Madam, in fact, your husband bought my potion. You are the one who benefits."

As he said that, he stared at Elaine lewdly for a few times, and then looked away with regret and expectation...

In this regard, Elaine frowned with implied disgust.

She had seen similar gazes and scrutiny in Intis, in Trier, and when she was traveling on the sea. She thought she was used to it, but now she still felt uncomfortable.

But what kind of potion is that? Why would it benefit me? What's the purpose of Detective Brian's winking and asking me to cooperate in acting?

Just as she was thinking, the three of them had already arrived at the carriage parked in the next street. Abner nodded to the driver of the manor who stayed behind, then stretched out his hand to grab the arm of the drug seller, and said in an undeniable tone : "You get in the car with me to withdraw money.

"

The man realized something was wrong at this moment and wanted to refuse, but the "majesty" shown by the other party reminded him of the "boss" he was afraid of in his bones, and because of fear, his inner thoughts also unconsciously quietly The change, from resistance to obedience, obediently followed Abner into the carriage.

Just now in the downtown area, it was inconvenient for Abner to use his ability, lest the high-level Extraordinary who might exist would find out... But when he came to this remote "parking place", he didn't have so many scruples.

"Majesty", "Bribery and Charm", and "Guidance", a set of "combination moves" in the spiritual field, successfully brought the man under his control.

Although Elaine who was following beside him didn't know exactly what abilities Abner used, she felt very lucky after witnessing the man's changes throughout the whole process... I am glad that I signed the "contract" in a timely manner. Detective Brian was forced to use her abilities, and she might not be able to win such good conditions... It is possible to sign the contract of prostitution in a daze!

Elaine thought for a while, and followed Abner into the carriage. After all, she was still the other party's "captive", so it was better not to get out of the other party's sight, lest there be any misunderstanding, and the unlucky one was herself.

On the other side, after his "Red Maid" entered the carriage, Abner sealed the space spiritually, and then simulated the "Whip of Pain", hanging high in the man's spirit, and asked in a low voice:

"Who are you?

"Why are you approaching me?

"Who ordered you to do this?"

...

In the office on the second floor of the Fragrant Leaf Bar, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a native of Bayam knocked on the door and walked in, reporting to the behind-the-scenes owner of the bar, "Julius" Ozil:

"The sea snake has already contacted the target and successfully sold the item to the other party."

Ozil is a tall old man, after listening to his subordinates, he shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that the so-called heroic detective is also exaggerated.

"But it's normal. You become famous when you're young, you're flirtatious, even if you come to Bayam for vacation and bring your lover...Naturally, you need that potion to nourish your body...

"It seems that we will soon be able to take over the Aroma Manor from him."

The native servant hesitated for a while, but still boldly asked: "Boss, since you want that manor, why don't we just capture that kid and let him give it to you? Why use such a troublesome manor?" means?"

"Hey, I haven't been thinking about that manor for a day or two, but its owner has a lot of background, even the one behind me has warned me not to do it indiscriminately, even if it has been idle...

"Although it has changed its owner now...but who knows what relationship this heroic detective has with the former owner of the Fragrant Manor? So to be on the safe side, let him become addicted, emptied his savings a little bit, and finally made him have to sell the manor sell!"

"Giant Man" Ozil first explained a few words for his confidant, then changed the subject and ordered, "Don't rush this matter, lest he find out that something is wrong, find someone to remove the effect of the potion on his body... …You tell Sea Snake, before the drug becomes hard to return, don’t give it too frequently, and don’t give it too long, let him realize that he is addicted and control the rhythm.”

"Yes, boss!"

...

Above the gray fog, after confirming the safety of Daisy and Miss Judgment through divination, Klein set his sights on three Extraordinary characteristics that exude a strong spiritual brilliance, as well as an iron-black metal glove.

"It's really rewarding this time!"

...

At the same time, in the headquarters of MI9, His Highness Vera looked at Hugh in front of him, shook his head and said:

"I didn't intend to take you to the Southern Continent to carry out missions...

"But right now, you'd better stay out of the limelight."
