Mystery: Start with the Reader

The reason why Forsi got up so early was naturally because he wanted to avoid having to perform tasks all night long and might go home to catch up on his sleep in the morning.

"At least hide for a few days, wait until she forgets about that incident, and then resume her normal schedule..." Forsi, who was sitting in the living room, thought as he took a sip of coffee to refresh himself.

At this time, Abner, who was sitting opposite her, saw that she was suddenly distracted while talking, so he coughed and reminded: "In my opinion, the more you deliberately avoid Xio, the more she will remember..."

"How do you know..." Forsi replied subconsciously, and Forsi immediately reacted, frowning and said, "Abner, reading a lady's thoughts is not what a gentleman does."

"Sorry." Abner apologized insincerely, and then returned to their previous topic, "So, you got the tip from Arrods and wanted to use my film and television company to perform a trick. Master's role?"

Forsi stared at Abner for a while, not sure how much of her thoughts he had 'read', but she didn't dare to ask. If the other party said "all know", she would be embarrassed... After all, even if she wanted to silence her, she couldn't defeat Abner...

After a few seconds of silence, Forsi slowly exhaled and said, "That's true... but I still don't know what the film and television company does and how to use it to act..."

I do "know it all"... As a writer, Miss, your mind is too active, and there are too many "dramas" going on in your mind. Even if I don't "read minds", "Magic Mirror" "It was also easily "recorded".

After all, the "Devil" is good at playing with people's hearts, and the "Magic Mirror" also has "Dream Walker" on its grazing list...

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Abner ostensibly stood up, went back to the room, took out a cube-shaped "box" about the size of his head, handed it to Forsi, and then said with a smile:

"I roughly guessed what Arrods meant... Well, you can stay with me as a cameraman today."

Forsi took the cube box and looked at it for a few times before asking in confusion: "What is this?"

"Camera, I call it 'Fangdian' again." Abner replied casually, and then after putting on his coat, hat, and cane, he ordered the valet in the villa to prepare the carriage.

"Camera? Fangdian?" As a doctor and a writer, although he is a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery, Forsi doesn't know much about the entire mechanical field, and he doesn't pay attention to relevant information when reading newspapers. Content, so based on "Fangdian's" appearance alone, she couldn't tell what it did.

Abner didn't explain much, and pulled Forsi, who was still a little confused holding "Fangdian" in his arms, and got into the carriage, heading straight to the junction of the East District and the Bridge District.

In the living room on the second floor of the house next door at No. 26 Kingston Street, Benson stood in front of the window, watching Abner pull a strange lady into the carriage, and murmured: "Another one..."

Then, he looked back at his sister, who had been leaving early and coming back late recently, and saw that she was eating breakfast and looking at the drawings taken from Detective Abner's house, with a trace of worry in her eyes.

At this time, Melissa's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had figured something out, she shouted excitedly, "I understand!", and then ran out of the living room and went straight to the underground warehouse.

There, she built a small mechanical laboratory using simple tools.

Seeing this, Benson couldn't help but become even more worried.

The only thing he was thankful for was that it was said that Detective Abner Bryan would leave on a journey next week and would not be back for at least a few months.

…

In the classroom of the Free School on the edge of the East District, more than twenty boys and girls, young and poorly dressed, were listening carefully to the gentleman on the podium teaching various learning techniques such as "multiplication tables" and "commutative law". "Secret Technique", not even willing to blink.

Forsi, on the other hand, was standing next to the "Dictionary" placed at the back of the classroom, following Abner's previous explanation and using his "spirituality" to operate it.

About an hour later, the class ended. Under the leadership of Daisy, other students stood up and expressed their gratitude to Teacher Blaine.

But Abner pressed his hand and signaled everyone not to be impatient. Then, while calling Forsi to the podium, he said with a smile: "I have always believed that education should not be a rigid matter, and should be a combination of work and rest, so I invited a lady to perform a show for you, and your task is to use your own knowledge to decipher what tricks this lady used in her show..."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said to Fors: "It's your turn to 'act', remember that the 'trick' at the beginning should not be too difficult to crack, try to use one that can be completed by ordinary people... but it must also be There are only one or two that people can’t figure out even if they rack their brains.”

"Why?" Forsi, who was wearing a veil, came closer and asked in a low voice after raising her skirts to greet the students.

"The role of 'Master of Magic' focuses on the two words 'performance' and 'fooling'. 'Fooling' can also be replaced by 'deception'..."

"Normal 'tricks' are mixed with 'tricks' brought about by extraordinary abilities. People who work hard to find flaws and seek solutions can no longer see through your tricks after continuous success at the beginning. This is 'fooling'.

"And if you can later explain your previous extraordinary abilities using a 'trick' technique that ordinary people can perform, so that those who seek it will suddenly realize... This is both 'fooling' and 'deception'." After saying these words, no one After paying attention to Forsi, who looked thoughtful, Abner walked off the podium and went to the back to change a "film" for "Fang Dian".

After doing this, he called Daisy outside the classroom, took out 20 1 sole bills and handed them to her as payment for the "extra performers" she had found.

It’s okay to “fool” and “deceive” the other students, but Daisy is about to become that guy’s sister-in-law, Iris. What if that guy with a bad mouth finds out and makes a few taunts and reveals the truth? Forsi’s game It may be difficult for magic films that aim to "edutain while entertaining" to "pass the review" of the church.

"What are you doing? We are very grateful for the knowledge. How can we ask for your money!" Daisy refused to take it.

She had made a lot of money running errands for Hazel and Elaine in the past few days, and she was unwilling to take advantage of Detective Abner again.

What's more, in her opinion, for a poor person like her in the East District, being able to learn knowledge for free is already a blessing from the gods. If she still charges money, she will definitely be scolded by the mother goddess.

"Then let's buy some school supplies and treat it as my donation to the school." Abner didn't insist and took a step back.

The donation is for free schools and will not be specific to individuals, so Daisy has no reason to refuse. She only sighs: "Detective Blaine, you are such a kind gentleman!"

It’s just too fussy... Obviously I already have the admiration of Miss Elaine, Miss Xio and Miss Hazel, but...

In comparison, Iris is really a nice man who is devoted to her sister.

…

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the White Onyx, which encountered the "Red Skull Pirates" during the day, entered the port again.

"Bansi Port? Ireland is very cautious..." Daniz, who had just washed his clothes, stood by the window, looking at the already dark port and the tall lighthouse.

Without waiting for Klein to respond, he laughed to himself:

"There seems to be some bad legend here."

It’s really not good! How can it be possible when the King of Angels is involved? ! Klein's mood at this time was also not very good. If it weren't for the "Joker's" ability to control it, his face would definitely look ugly.

"I knew clearly that this place was not on the Agate's route, but because of the pirate encounter, I actually came to Banxi...

"Are there gains and losses? I hung out Danitz to scare away the Red Skull, so that's why I changed the course?

"No, I remember Mr. Tower is good at prophecy. He must have given me the reminder after seeing my fate...

"Is it my destiny to come here? Is there... anything here that can connect with me?

"Oh, even if there is something, it's best not to investigate deeply...at least not now."

With this thought in his mind, Klein ignored Danitz's introduction to Bansi. He stood up suddenly and walked to the bathroom.

Before closing the door, Klein turned back expressionlessly:

"You can take this opportunity to escape."

After saying that, Klein slammed the bathroom door.

Daniz opened and clenched his palms, took two steps towards the door and finally stopped.

The unknown is the scariest thing. He didn't dare to risk intensifying conflicts before he figured out what other extraordinary abilities Gehrman Sparrow had.

At least, at least he was kind and didn't harm me in any real way... When Byam comes, he should let me go... The thought of luck occupied Daniz's mind.

In the bathroom.

Klein took out the paper man, put on a disguise, and walked four steps backwards into the gray mist.

He sat at the top of the long bronze table, and just as he was about to perform divination, he received a prayer from Miss Temperance, telling him that he had obtained the formula of the "General Knowledge".

"Sharon is still as reliable as ever!"

Sighing, Klein casually stuffed the formula into the crimson stars of the "Tower". Then he took a deep breath, manifested the pendulum, and started divination.
