Mystery: Start with the Reader

Near noon, Abner relied on sensing the card in Xio's hand to find a cafe in the Jowood District.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a girl wearing chef's clothes carrying a plate of something that looked like mung bean cake and delivering it to the table in front of Xiu Shen who was sitting at the back of the store.

This girl has long hair and a sweet look, but she is thin and not tall. She seems to be shorter than Xio...

The "pure white" color in Abner's eyes flashed away, and he walked straight to Xio's seat without staring at the girl.

Although her gender had changed, her height had shrunk to what she is today, and she even used makeup to cover up her features, Abner could still recognize the girl in chef's clothing as the former police officer Xiao Ke through her breath.

When he was injured and was rescued by Xio, and the "Fallen Morning Star" was given to him, he also tactfully reminded him that the "assassin" would become a "witch" in the future...

Unexpectedly, after a few months, he really became her!

After sighing in his heart, although he guessed that Lina behind Xiao Ke was probably hiding nearby, Abner did not bother to check. After all, he and the other party had no other friendship except for the "Fallen Morning Star" matter... ...We even briefly crossed paths once, but it wasn't exactly a friendly relationship.

It’s just this mung bean cake that’s a little strange…

While thinking about it, he sat down opposite Xio. A silver card appeared in Abner's hand. It was displayed in front of the other person's eyes and then disappeared.

"It looks different every time... It's really convenient..." Xiu muttered softly at this, then pushed the plate of mung bean cake and a cup of coffee in front of Abner and said, "I've already eaten it. , this is what you ordered...The desserts in this store are unique and taste great.”

It was approaching noon, and Abner was a little hungry, so he didn't hesitate to cut off a piece with his dining knife and put it in his mouth.

Well, it's smooth and dense, fragrant and soft, and it's a bit choking when it enters your throat...it's definitely mung bean cake! Abner took a sip of coffee and thought.

But how could Xiao Ke and Lina do such a thing? Even if it is discovered by coincidence, the taste should not be so similar to the previous life... You know, if the method is slightly different, the result will be completely different...

What's more, from what Xio said, this store also has many similar unique desserts?

Could it be that the recipe left by a previous time traveler happened to be obtained by Lina and Xiaoko? Hmm...I wonder if there is any spiritual imprint left...and whether Lilith will accept recipes...

Of course, it might also be Klein's fault... Judging from the information I've investigated before, Klein and Lina have known each other since they were in Tingen...

As his thoughts raced, Abner decided to secretly explore the details of this store when he had time. If there were really recipes or something like that, he could consider buying it... although the hope was not high.

After all, the revelation from the previous "prophecy" was that "in darkness, the miracles of civilization are destroyed by corruption."...

This can’t possibly be explained by the fact that the “degenerate” people who gained weight by eating too much sweets destroyed the “food” miracle that caused them to gain weight in the dark night, right?

After complaining a few words in his mind, Abner swept away the remaining desserts, then led Xio out of the cafe, turned around a street, and entered a small single-family house.

This is one of the safe houses rented by Hugh. Since it can be regarded as "work needs", the cost can be reimbursed by MI9.

Abner looked at the house, and after using the "cursed Tudor emblem" to create an environment isolated from prying eyes, he casually asked: "Why don't we meet at your house?"

After all, it's not too far from the house you and Forsi rented.

"..." Xio's expression was a little complicated. She couldn't say that she didn't want to meet Abner in the same environment as in her dream last night.

Abner, who roughly "read" the other party's thoughts, combined with what the "magic mirror" did, suddenly understood in his heart, immediately ended the topic, and turned to ask her about the reason for the meeting.

Seeing this, Xiu stopped thinking about those inappropriate things. Then, she organized the next sentence and relayed the information and commission given by Mr. World to Abner.

"Protect Talim?"

Regarding Baron Larry, because there was too little information, Abner could not analyze anything, but regarding Talim's situation, he was able to learn a lot of information from the original work...

The death of this equestrian teacher was not something that could be easily saved, so Abner, who had a very casual relationship with him, had not thought of saving him before.

There are two main difficulties in rescuing Talim:

First, it is necessary to hide from the surveillance of "0-08", otherwise it will not be possible to save people, but the rescuers may also be included in the sight of "0-08", and then face unknown dangers.

Second, at this point in time, even if Talim is "protected", he may be "cursed" to death by the ring in Triss's hand at any time... No, it's not a possibility, but once those people behind the scenes find out about Talim Mu is out of control. In order to avoid accidents, they will definitely control Triss to "curse" him to death with a ring!

The ring in Triss's hand is a symbol of the original witch's container, equivalent to a "0" level sealed object... To avoid being cursed to death by it, at least an angel must take action...

He might be able to be protected in the Church of the Mother Earth, but Talim might not even be able to go to the Harvest Church to rescue "Sudden Death"...

In addition to the difficulty of rescuing people, how to deal with the investigation after the incident with Prince Edsac is also a major difficulty...

Therefore, Xio must not be allowed to come forward to "protect" Talim, and Talim cannot be allowed to know who specifically saved him... After all, if he returns to Backlund afterwards, he will definitely be punished by the royal family and several people. Focus on large churches!

Abner did not dare to think more, because Abner was worried that the "Tudor Badge", a "level 1" sealed object manufacturing rule, could not completely shield "0-08", so he immediately summoned the "Gateway of Dreams and Reality", He dragged Xio into the "Dream Maze Tower" together.

After arriving at the lounge in the tower, Abner solemnly told Xio all the difficulties... Of course, regarding "0-08", he only used something that could be used for "surveillance" and "control" Sealed objects are used to refer to them.

Miss Judgment, who was a little distracted at first, became serious after listening. She did not ask Abner where the news about the "curse" came from. After all, she had long been accustomed to the other party suddenly "knowing" it.

"The sealed artifact you mentioned that was used by the mastermind behind the scenes for 'monitoring' may be solved by Mr. World... As Mr. Fool's favored one, he should be able to get some help." Xiu thought about it and said after considering it. .

Mr. "Fool"'s paper angel may not be able to block "0-08"'s induction at present... However, the current Klein obviously has many more tricks than the original at the same time, and maybe he can play some new tricks.

Nodding thoughtfully, Abner said while thinking: "In fact, after the problem of not being sensed by the seal is solved, it will be much easier to deal with the problem of how to deal with the subsequent investigation... I can completely change into what others will do." Talim took him away and used the 'Teleportation Altar' to instantly move him away from Backlund and away from the sight of the sealed object..."

"So... is the only problem now the 'curse'?" Hugh paused, then asked, "Can this curse ignore distance?"

"Talim probably has important 'mediums' in the other party's hands... such as hair, blood, etc...

"Perhaps the distance can cut off... But whether Talim can reach the 'Teleportation Altar' is unknown!" Abner sighed.

"Is there no other way?" Xio frowned and tried hard to think of countermeasures.

What's the solution... Abner pondered for a moment, then opened the "Pure White Eye" and used the "Active Prophecy" once a day.

"A sure way to solve Talim's cursed death."

As Abner read out the things that needed to be "prophesied", a line of revelation text appeared directly in his spirit:

"Madame Sheriff Farthing."

Mrs. Sheriff Farthing?

The Bound God? !

Yes, this one is the best at dealing with the "curse"! ,

But will He help?
