Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 122: blockade

Seeing Abner come to the entrance of the stairwell, the security personnel guarding here were about to step forward and question, but a meticulously dressed middle-aged gentleman just came down from the second floor at this moment...he is Ed. Mr. Finkel, the butler of Prince Sack.

"This Mr. Bryan is a guest of His Royal Highness, let him come over." Finkel stood on the stairs and glanced at Abner, and then ordered the security personnel.

When the security heard this from the butler Finkel, he allowed a path to be opened and Abner walked into the stairwell.

Abner took a glance at the housekeeper, and saw that he was wearing a snow-white shirt, with a thick gray-blue waistcoat on the outside that perfectly contained his stomach. The long tuxedo had clear lines and no flaws.

This looked like a professional aristocratic butler, but Abner didn't mean to underestimate him in the slightest.

In the original book, although there is no description of this Mr. Butler, before and after the "Big Smog" incident, Triss, who was holding a "0" level sealed object and was at least the "Happy Witch", treated him very much. Fearful, even described him as "terrible".

After the old butler forced Prince Edsac to commit suicide, he was personally wiped off by the goddess of the night goddess, which shows that his strength is by no means ordinary.

And in the post-event investigation of the Steam Church, he and "Desperate Nightingale" Panadia's names were tied together!

This is probably a demigod! Even if it is not, at least it is a very powerful Sequence 5... just don't know which way it is.

While thinking in his heart, Abner followed the pace of the housekeeper and came to a living room on the second floor.

After conducting a body search again, Abner finally saw His Royal Highness in a white dress.

Prince Edsac has a round face and narrow eyes, but he is not serious at all. On the contrary, he always smiles. He looked at Abner, who was led in by the butler, and smiled and said:

"I finally saw you, Detective Bryan."

"Hello, Your Royal Highness. I didn't know before that it was your Royal Highness who asked Talim to find me." Abner bent over and saluted.

"I also didn't expect you to be the'hero' of Backlund... Hehe, speaking of it, the sales of the Daily Observer surged last week, and it was also related to the publication of your interview." Ed. Prince Sack laughed and teased him, before closing his expression, and continuing, "Of course, what I didn't expect was that Detective Brian you had a relationship with the Mother Earth Church."

As soon as he said this, a middle-aged man wearing a modified captain's hat standing behind the prince suddenly became serious and looked at Abner. He originally thought that the prince was only temporarily intent to summon a "famous detective", but he did not expect that the other party had such a background.

Abner naturally felt this gaze... to be precise, he noticed this man who did not dress up at all from the moment he entered this room.

From the clothing point of view, I should be a "punisher"... Fortunately, I am reporting on behalf of the "Mother Earth God" church. If I still wear the vest of the Church of Knowledge, I am afraid that I will be taken down on the spot. .

Fortunately in my heart, Abner did not look at the man on the surface, but said to Prince Edsac with a serious expression: "His Royal Highness, I came to see you because I found something terrible at the ball. The matter... If it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause heavy casualties!"

Prince Edsac raised his brows when he heard the words. Before asking what was going on, the middle-aged man behind him asked, "What did you find?"

Abner did not answer directly, but turned his attention to the prince.

Prince Edsac frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction arose in his heart, but he adjusted his expression quickly, and said with a smile: "This is the Lord's'Punisher', Captain Kuhn. Detective Brian, you don't have to worry. ."

Well, I certainly don't worry about it. It's better to tell the "substitute penalty" to know it than to tell you. After all, after you understand the seriousness of the problem, you may lead people to run away, but the "substitute penalty" will not...because they are guardians.

"I found that Ms. Maht’s daughter, Ms. Hajol, has a very strong'primitive moon' aura... If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, the prom is likely to be changed." Abner described the matter briefly, he I believe that with the profession of "substitute punishment", one will not fail to know the seriousness of "primitive moon".

"'Primitive Moon'... are you sure?" Captain Kuhn's expression changed suddenly and he asked hurriedly.

"I hate to be sure, that is the'primitive moon'! Moreover, Miss Haruer should have been used, there must be another mastermind behind this matter..." Then, Abner was not too private, and some can All the information revealed was said, including that Haruer might be a "thief" through an extraordinary person.

Captain Kuhn nodded, and said: "I believe that the Church of the Mother Earth is professional in dealing with the issue of the'primitive moon'..."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Prince Edsac who still had a dazed look on his face, and begged: "'Primitive Moon' is a dangerous evil god. Since he brought his breath to this dance, There must be a conspiracy... Your Royal Highness, although the sealed artifact we brought can divide the space, its effect cannot completely isolate the influence of the evil god... I beg you to let Mr. Finkel take action to protect the vastness below. Some ordinary people."

Although Prince Edsac didn't know what the "primitive moon" was, but seeing that the captain of the "Punisher" team was so solemn and aware of the seriousness of the matter, he first said: "I understand." Then he asked his butler, "Finkel, many of the people below are my friends and partners. I don't want them to have trouble."

"My first task is to protect you, Your Royal Highness." The old butler replied clearly, but when he saw the prince also look at him with a firm expression, he hesitated again and continued, "If the time comes. If I have spare capacity, I will take care of the guests."

Prince Edsack smiled. He talked with Kuhn in a low voice, then looked at Abner and said sincerely:

"Mr. Bryan, although the news you brought is not pleasant, it is very timely. Perhaps tonight, you will become a'hero' again."

"I would rather not be a "hero", just to come to an ordinary dance..." Abner smiled wryly.

...

In the ball hall, Harouer was stunned by Abner's sudden escape behavior. After a while, he threw down the food plate angrily and returned to his parents.

At this time, a gentleman who had been pursuing her for a long time came to invite her to dance, but was flatly rejected by Harou, who was in a bad mood, and even his words were directly hurtful, making the other party very shameless.

This made Mrs. Maht, who has always valued family upbringing, very angry, and called her daughter aside and whispered a few words.

Haruer, who was already unhappy, was even more annoyed by the training, and decided to look back and find out the identity of the man who fled when he saw him, and then asked him to look good.

But at this moment, Harou suddenly felt a palpitating heart, and then became sober and sensible, all the irritability and annoyance were gone.

At this moment, she knew clearly that she was no longer in the real world!

She looked around vacantly ~lightnovelpub.net~ and found that the gentleman in the tuxedo on the left was still inviting a dance to an impatient lady, with two daughters, and the fallen aristocratic lady in a light blue dress was looking forward to it. Efforts to introduce his daughter to a wealthy businessman. And beside her, someone was holding a plate and eating the ice cream provided by the dance... everything was the same as before.

But Hairou was even more frightened by this situation. She quietly turned on Lingshi, and then found that none of these passengers had the corresponding aura color and emotional color!

They have no etheric body!

They were clearly talking, inviting to dance, and eating ice cream, but there was no trace of being alive!

Is this an illusion, or are they suddenly dead? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He turned his head to look at his parents, only to find that they were exactly the same as the other people he saw, and they were completely different from living people!

Hazel was a little bewildered and galloped around the ball venue, hoping to find something. But after all, she still had too little knowledge, and she didn't understand what happened to her.

At this moment, her heart moved, and she took out the emerald green seed from her pocket.
