Mystery: Start with the Reader

Chapter 19: Jane's help

   In the afternoon, Detective Isinger felt very satisfied after taking the test of Abner’s Guvusak language learning progress, so he gave him a copy of the ancient Hermes.

"The ancient Hermes language comes from nature, similar to ancient dragon language, ancient elvish language, the effect is very direct, it is a language with real'power'! But it lacks the necessary concealment and protection, and it is easy to put users in danger. You are learning Pay attention to this at times, and don’t read it out if it’s not necessary.” Detective Isinger repeatedly warned as he passed the information to Abner.

   Abner also knew the importance and nodded solemnly. With the help of the pure white eyes, he devoted himself to the study carefully.

   Just like that, a few days passed quietly.

   In the past few days, Abner has lived calmly. With the help of reading and comprehension during language learning and rituals, he has quickly mastered various knowledge and digested the spiritual remnants of the potion. He even felt that in another week or so, he would be able to completely digest the ‘reader’!

  The time came quickly on Wednesday morning. After breakfast, Abner and Xiu went to the abandoned manor in the northern suburbs again.

   After finishing the practice bullets they brought, they fought again. This time, Abner supported Hugh for a full minute before losing.

   Xiu was very surprised at this, knowing that her digestion of the potion has not been slow in the past few days, and her fighting ability is much stronger than that of the last time she fought. This is enough to show that Abner's astonishing improvement.

"Your physical fitness has not improved much, but a lot of skills seem to be about to be integrated to form a physical instinct! As far as I know, many knights have been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years to achieve this step... Maybe you are really a fighting genius. , It's a pity that you didn't choose the potion of the'Warrior' sequence." Xiu said regretfully. Although she didn't know which way Abner was an extraordinary person, she was not fighting head-on.

  Ebner has no regrets about this. Perhaps this fighting talent is also a gift of Pure White Eyes, but its assistance in other areas is obviously more powerful, and the choice of ‘Warrior’ is a waste of its great multi-function.

"By the way, your physique is more suitable for weapons such as knight swords. I don't know much about those, but only a little basic. What I am best at is daggers or three-sided thorns." Hugh is only 1.5 meters tall, a lot of The knight swords are taller than her, so naturally they are not used to using that kind of weapon.

"Just know some basics. I don't expect myself to be a'sword saint', and as long as I get promoted to Sequence 7, I can naturally become a weapon master." Abner had a good mentality and was not disappointed, so she asked Qixiu who was in contact with the nobleman. Project matter:

   "Has Forsi's new book been published? Is she still looking for various reasons to delay the manuscript?"

   Xiu rubbed his forehead, and replied somewhat helplessly: "Not yet, but she has finished writing under my supervision, and it will be published on Saturday as early as Saturday."

   "It's really hard for you, I think her editor should invite you to dinner!" Abner laughed and teased.

   "Actually, Ms. Aina has already invited..." Xio sighed.

   Just as the two were talking and laughing, suddenly three carriages drove over from far and near. The sound of the horse's hoof shaking the ground made Dexiu and Abner immediately alert, and quickly packed the things they had brought, and then entered a small utility room in the living room through the side door of the manor. This is an emergency plan planned before the break.

   Of course, thanks to the two of them being cautious, they collected the bullet shells after they practiced shooting, or they specified to show their feet.

   But what they didn't know was that just after they hid in the utility room, there was a sudden gust of wind on the shooting range. After the overcast wind, all traces of activity were smoothed out. The people walking down the carriage didn't notice it at all.

   "Maybe someone wants to buy this manor..." After carefully distinguishing the words of the conversation, Xio whispered in Abner's ear.

   Abner nodded. This is not good news for him. If someone buys this place, he will not be able to come to the shooting range for free.

"In fact, the problem is not big. Most of the rich people buy the suburban manor for vacation or hunting. They don't come a few times a year. As long as they can hide from the person who guards the house, they can still get it." Hugh obviously guessed Ai. Bunner's thoughts were a little relieved.

   That is not as convenient as it is now, and I have to be sneaky and worried... Fortunately, my marksmanship has improved so fast!

   While Abner was thinking about his thoughts, the group of people outside came to the living room together after seeing the rest of the rooms.

"Mr. Caron, what do you think of this place? Although it looks dilapidated, as long as it is refurbished, it will not lose to the Elk Manor in the west. It is also closer to the North District, and the transportation is more convenient. You can buy it for 2500 pounds. It's definitely not a loss!" A very magnetic male voice said exaggeratedly, destroying his good voice.

   Xiu pursed her mouth when she heard it, and whispered somewhat unconvincedly: "When my father bought it, it cost 4200 pounds..."

   Abner sighed silently, thinking that if he has money in the future, maybe he can help Xio buy it back? But after another thought, forget it. She does this kind of thing by herself, and has a sense of accomplishment and ritual. What is it that I do it for you?

"Mr. Cecil, as you said, this place is too dilapidated. Not only do I have to refurbish, but I also have to repurchase furniture and decorations! In addition, I heard that it is always haunted here? So, how about the £1,000 deal? "The gentleman named Caron bargained after pointing out a series of problems.

   "1,000 pounds is too little! At least 2,200 pounds! Mr. Caron, what haunting is just a rumor, don't you think I'm good?"

   "But how did I hear that you were really ill before?"

  ...

   Listening to them, they kept talking, and finally reduced the price to 1,800 pounds. Mr. Cecil refused to give in, and Mr. Caron reluctantly agreed and sold at this price.

   When the lawyer concluded the contract, the man named Caron walked to the door of the utility room.

   Abner and Hugh immediately became nervous. The former thought for a while, took out an iron mask from his pocket and put it on his face, which was originally used for participating in Extraordinary gatherings at night.

   And Xiu even more simply, grabbed a handful of soil and wiped his face.

   The two of them are surprisingly consistent. Once they are found, they will hide their faces and rush out. As long as they are not caught on the spot, they can say anything.

   It is strange that Mr. Caron walked back and forth in the sundries room for several steps, and finally did not push the door in. Instead, he muttered to himself with some confusion: "Why do I always feel that something is missing here?"

   Across the door, the two of Abner, who obviously heard this, glanced at each other in surprise, and both saw three words in each other's eyes: "Something weird!"

   This is much scarier than the Mr. Caron who just opened the door and came in! This shows that there are extraordinary powers in this house that they don't know about! And the unknown is the scariest...

   After the group of people waiting to see the house left, Abner and Xio didn't dare to delay any longer, and wanted to leave the abandoned manor as quickly as possible.

Just as Abner was about to step out of the room, his spirituality was suddenly touched, and he turned his head unconsciously, and then he saw a line written in Hermes on the glass of the window at some point: Don't be afraid, Caspers mentioned you to me.

   The text fluctuates like water lines, and disappears in a blink of an eye. Had Abner's memory and observation capabilities far exceeded that of ordinary people, I would have thought it was dazzled.

  Caspers? When did he know such a high-end character? No, he did know such a man in the original book, Miss Sharon from the Rose School of Temperance... They met so early?

   I think so, but Abner's footsteps didn't stop. I couldn't believe what he said. It's better to go to Casper to confirm the authenticity.

   "It just so happens that there is an Extraordinary party hosted by the teacher behind the Brave Bar today. Just drop by and ask."

   When Abner thought this way, he and Xio had already ran to the boundary one mile away from the manor.

Only then did Xio slow down, and asked with lingering fear: "What is that, I didn't even notice anything!" She didn't see the text on the glass, but her instinct told her that there was a big room in the living room. terror.

   "It may be a ‘Resentful Soul’..." Abner is actually not sure, and can only say that it is very likely.

   "'Wraith'? Is it the name of a certain sequence?" Hugh now trusts Abner blindly, thinking that he knows everything.

   "It is sequence 5 of the heterogeneous pathway."

   "Sequence 5..." After hearing this, Xiu swallowed with difficulty, and was too afraid to speak any more. A strong man like UU Reading www.uukānshu.com pinched their two Sequence 9s to death is not much more difficult than killing two ants.

  ...

   After the two returned to the city in silence, Xio continued to go to the Eastern District to be an ‘arbitrator’ to bring justice to the lower classes. And Abner returned to Detective Isinger's home, planning to study hard for an afternoon to ease the depression in his heart because of his weakness.

  'S previous experience gave him a deep feeling of life and death again. Even if that Miss Ling Ling was not malicious, he still didn't like that feeling. That is a feeling of weakness that even resistance cannot be obtained.

   But who knows that as soon as he opened the door of the teacher's house, Abner saw Jane sitting in the living room a little uneasy.

  Detective Isinger saw him come in and said with a smile, "You are back, this Miss Grant has been waiting for you for an hour."

   Abner met with the teacher first, then looked at Jane and asked in confusion: "Jane, why are you here?"

   Jane got up and walked quickly to Abner, a little embarrassed and said: "I...I have something to ask you for help!"

   This girl has always been very nervous, and she has never seen her twitchy look like this in memory... Honestly speaking, this kind of performance has made Abner feel uncomfortable.

   He saw Jane peeking at Detective Isinger and quickly turned his head. He immediately understood the other's concerns, so after confessing to the teacher, he took her to his room.

   As expected, as soon as he entered the house, Jane couldn't wait to hold Abner, and said anxiously: "Abner, I want you to help me investigate my father!"

   "Investigate Mr. Grant? What happened to him?" Abner frowned upon hearing this.

   "He has always sneaked out at night in the last few days. I suspect he has a lover... I dare not tell my mother about this, so I have to come and ask you to find it out."
