Mystery: Start with the Reader

In Pulitzer Harbor, after buying a second-class ticket for the White Agate from the ticketing company, Klein returned to the hotel and enjoyed the most famous local fried fish...

"It tastes pretty good, but if you keep eating like this, you won't be able to accept it..."

"Speaking of which, I now miss the craftsmanship of my only 'True Beloved' Xiao Ke... But even if I don't leave Backlund, I won't be able to eat her delicious food in a short time.

"She seems to have closed the store and hid with Lina... After all, Prince Edsac is now an officially declared 'dead person' and cannot be seen in the light..."

While he was sighing, Klein suddenly heard an illusory prayer sound in his ears, so he finished off the fried fish in a few mouthfuls, returned to his room, and entered above the gray fog.

"'Tower' requests to know where Miss Judgment is? What does this mean... has 'Fool Navigation' started again?" Klein complained, but considering the contributions accumulated by Mr. "Tower", he still gave it to both of them. A "connection" was conducted and the meeting place was informed.

After doing this, Klein was about to return to reality, but suddenly he saw the stars belonging to Ms. Dai Li flickering. Apparently, she had not given up praying to "The Fool" yet.

Klein actually wanted to "send" Dunn's current situation that he had divined last week to her, but the subsequent smog incident involved so much of his energy that he almost forgot about it. Now he sees Dai Li's star lit up before she recalled it.

He tapped the edge of the ancient bronze table with his fingers, then materialized a pen and paper, wrote down a sentence, and once again determined Dunn's location through dream divination.

——Since Abner’s “clown mask” is still on Dunn’s body, and it used to come to “Origin Castle” once a week, it naturally has a close “connection” with Klein, so the quality of the results obtained by “divination” is very high. high.

"Moved from the North District to the St. George District? Hmm... The St. George District is adjacent to the factory area and the dock area. It is an area seriously affected by the haze... Does the captain want to help those infected with the plague nearby?

"He is already a 'requiem master', and he should also have plans to help the victims hold a 'requiem' ceremony and take the opportunity to act...

"But the latter should be just incidental. With the captain's temperament, helping and rescuing the poor in the factory area and dock area is his original intention."

With his mind spinning, Klein once again divined whether Dai Li was in danger. After getting a negative answer, he spread his spirituality to Dai Li's "Crimson Star" and touched Dai Li with Dunn who had been divined last time. The picture of Li's photo and the picture of Dunn's residence just now were given to the other party.

…

36 Strand Street, St. George's District.

After saying goodbye to Hugh, Abner drove to the address given to him by Bishop Utravsky and stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated house.

Abner simulated the ability of the "Faceless Man" and changed his face to look like "Doctor Strange" before ringing the doorbell.

After a long time, the door was opened, and a somewhat "familiar" and "unfamiliar" face appeared in front of Abner.

I say "strange" because Abner has never really seen this face in reality...

I say "familiar" because the owner of the face, whom Abner has seen in the information, is a Nighthawk named "Adelaide" and the father of Miss Rosanne, a civilian employee of the Blackthorn Security Company. ...or one of the souls that was "sewn" into Dunn's spirit.

——As a time traveler, how could Abner, who had gone to Tingen to perform the Lilith mission, not collect relevant information? So I recognized him at a glance.

"Mr. Adelaide?" Abner asked tentatively without calling Dunn's real name.

Dunn also recognized the face of "Doctor Strange" at this time. He was a little surprised and said: "How did you find this place?"

After saying that, without waiting for Abner to answer, he got out of the way of the door and led him into the living room.

"After all, you were resurrected by the Mother Goddess. It's not difficult to find you." Abner casually answered Dunn's previous question after sitting down.

While pouring Abner a cup of tea, Dunn nodded and accepted the other party's explanation. Apparently he had also considered this possibility.

After all, he had lived with Crosphia, the beloved of the Mother Goddess, for so long. From the few words revealed by him, Dunn also understood the true identity of the vampire who "bited" him in the Raphael Cemetery. Guess—either an apostle of the Mother Earth Goddess, or her divine incarnation! In short, that is an existence that can fully represent the attitude of the Mother Goddess!

Although he still hasn't figured out the purpose of Mother Earth refining the "Stone of Life" to resurrect him, in a sense, he has developed a mystical connection with the true god, and he wants to know about himself The location should be simple.

"Why did you use the face of your old subordinate? Won't it arouse the suspicion of the Church of the Night?" Abner took a sip from the tea cup and asked strangely.

"You are really familiar with the Tingen team..." Dunn also sat down at this time and sighed, "If the 'soul master' can't even stabilize the 'soul' in his own spirit, how can he requiem the souls of others? …”

"Do you still have hidden mental problems? Didn't Crossfia help you solve it?" But although Miss "Lazy" always looks lazy, she is still reliable in her work.

Dunn rubbed his forehead and explained: "Even normal people will have mental problems. Ms. Crossfia just helped me try to bridge the hidden dangers caused by mental suturing, so that I would not lose control when I advance... But the risk is still higher than that of ordinary people, which is unavoidable and I can only make up for it myself."

So you are pretending to be Aledele to fulfill the other person's last wish, so that he can completely "requiem"? Hmm... I remember that there is a girl named "Dawn" in the soul you stitched... Maybe I can meet her next time I come here?

While Abner was thinking, Dunn didn't want to continue this topic and asked directly: "Why did you come to me specifically?"

Hearing this, Abner came back to his senses, nodded and said, "There is news about the 'Spirit Witch' potion formula you wanted."

Dunn's deep gray eyes that could not be concealed by his "clown mask" suddenly lit up, and he asked in a deep voice: "Exchange conditions?"

"It's the same as what you promised last time...that is, the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Astrologer' and the 'Rose Bishop'." At this point, Abner paused and added, "The formula will not be delivered until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "

According to Xio, Forsi has decided to go to Pulitzer Harbor tomorrow.

"I'm staying here this week," Dunn said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, I'll come back to you when I get the formula." Abner nodded slightly, then stood up.

The reason why he came over to meet with Dunn today was because he was afraid that he would move in two days and might be in vain.

Now that they had an agreement, Abner didn't stay long. He only said goodbye to Dunn after a few pleasantries and left his residence.

After seeing off "Doctor Strange", Dunn originally wanted to go back to the tanning room and read a book for a while - this was Adelaide's past habit...

But at this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Dunn frowned, put down the book, walked to the door slowly, and opened the door.

Then, his gray eyes reflected the figure of a lady who haunted him in his dreams.

The lady looked into his eyes steadily, then showed a charming smile, and said with a slightly trembling voice:

"You still owe me a dance...

"Can you extend an invitation to me now?"
