Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 290: Code and return

"Mystery: Start with the reader(

The one who was held under the claws of the giant bear was a young man who looked less than thirty years old. He had short black hair and cold gray eyes, but Abner still saw a trace of unwillingness and doubt from it.

Unwilling to be suppressed and unable to move, what was puzzled was why a giant bear suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Abner’s face of the giant bear transformed from "Lilith’s Tears" showed a personalized smile, which looked quite horrified, and then the two humans present heard a low voice from the bear. "I'm here to negotiate."

negotiation? Did you negotiate like this? !

If it weren't for the already speechless, the "serial killer" youth designated to scold him.

But the reality is that as the giant bear's claws pressed hard, he passed out completely in pain.

"Sorry, my'negotiations' are unilateral and do not require your participation." Abner said with a regretful expression on the bear's face.

For this kind of "serial killer" who kills people at will to please the devil, he has no mercy at all, and he didn't kill him immediately, all in order to prepare for a better psychic effect.

Doctor Duster Guderian, who was watching this scene, couldn’t help but twitched his mouth. He “read” the other side’s thoughts just before the "serial killer" passed out, and he miraculously followed the other side's thinking, in his heart. Tucaodao:

Mr. Killer, you are wrong. In reality, there really is such a "negotiation" method... For example, the Fosac people like to do it...

The Fusac people in the Southern Continent have always beaten their enemies to the point of "negotiating", so their diplomatic skills have always been despised by Loen and Intis.

After pressing the "serial killer" button, Abner gave him a simple "treatment" to prevent him from dying prematurely, and then looked at Duster Goodry, who was obediently in front of the "audience" Dr. Ann, while simulating his abilities, solemnly said to him: "You only remember that you were rescued inexplicably after the attack, and you didn't see the specific process."

As a low-level member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Daxter, who has just been promoted to Sequence 8 "Mind Reader", naturally knows that the giant bear in front of him is using "psychological hints" to modify his consciousness, and he is also capable of resisting to a certain extent. .

But he didn't do this. Instead, he took the initiative to open up part of his "mental body" and cooperated with the other party to complete this hint.

Because past life experience told him that the more he knows, the more dangerous it is.

What a clever man! Abner sighed in his heart, and without delay, he cast a few earth-type spells casually, made a coffin-shaped earthen box out of soil and some plants, and put the "serial killer" in it.

After doing all this, he relied on the ability of the giant bear to use "underground sneak", the ground under his feet suddenly softened and turned into a "swamp", making his body and the soil box sink as fast as falling into the sea. Go down.

And as his figure disappeared, the ground quickly returned to its original state, and there was no trace of softening.

Dr. Duster Guderian came back to his senses, recalling the attack that had just happened, only felt that the heart on his left chest was beating very fiercely.

He took a few deep breaths, relied on the ability of the "audience" to stay calm, and thought:

Although I don’t know who rescued me, since I was attacked, it means that I have become the target of some extraordinary person or organization...

And I'm just a "mind reader" with no frontal combat ability, and the "Psychological Alchemy Society" backed by it is unlikely to fight against unknown Beyonders for a low-level member like me...

Therefore, I have only one way to go now, which is to rely on the identity of the "informant" to seek the protection of the official Extraordinary...

Well, I can go directly to the police station and ask them to contact Inspector Klein Moretti for me.

Thinking of this, Dr. Duster Guderian dared not delay, returned to the room to pack some belongings and money, and then left the lunatic asylum and rushed to the police station.

But before he walked out the door, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray trench coat coming in from outside.

The temperament is very similar to the Captain Dunn Smith he knows.

"Night watcher?" Daxter asked first before the other party could speak.

The visitor was Al Hasen, the acting captain of the Tingen Night Watcher team. He was taken aback when he heard the words, took a deep look at the opponent, and then nodded and said: "Yes... Dr. Dust Guderian , Have you encountered anything special?"

"I'm going to find you! I just encountered an attack." Duster quickly explained what had just happened, but there was no "giant bear" in his description.

Al frowned when he heard it, and didn't fully believe what the other party was saying. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Doctor Guderian... Are you an Extraordinary?"

Duster did not expect that the other party would ask this, and said in a puzzled way: "Of course, I am the "informant" developed by your "Night Watchers"..."

Having said that, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Yes, my identity should still be kept secret, you can call Klein Moretti to ask, he is my upline."

Informant? Why didn't the document handed over to me mention this... Al was puzzled, but on the surface he shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, Klein has already died..."

"What?!" Duxter's eyes widened when he heard the words. He recalled the bookish young man, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and sighed, "No wonder he hasn't contacted me for more than a week..."

He paused, skipping the sad topic, and said: "Captain Dunn Smith can testify for me, too."

"It's a pity that Dunn has also died...together with Klein." Al glanced at him and said helplessly.

"Huh?" This time, Dust could not speak anymore.

"So, Mr. Duster, you have to go back to the company with me... Maybe Fry and Luo Yao can prove your identity."

When Dust heard this, he instinctively wanted to find a gap and escape, because he had long learned from the crazy "Psychological Alchemy" member Hood Eugen how the wild extraordinary would be treated by the authorities. He was not afraid of being an "informant" before, but now, this identity is probably "lost"!

However, before he could act, he suddenly woke up, and what caught his eye was his own lounge. Everything just now seemed to be just a dream.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

...

Abner took a "coffin" made of clay and quickly shuttled underground, and soon came to a fairly spacious "node" in the sewer that he had pre-selected.

Enduring the unpleasant smell coming from his nose, Abner lifted the "giant bear" mode brought by "Lilith's Tears" and returned to his human form.

Then, he quickly arranged the "spiritual wall" and began to perform the dual operation of channeling and backtracking on the dying "serial killer".

After a while, Abner opened his eyes, and then broke the neck of the young man lying in the "coffin" without hesitation.

While waiting for the Extraordinary characteristics to unearth, he put on the clothes that had been hidden in this sewer "node", while collating the information he had just obtained through the psychic:

The dead young man was named Carlos Andrelade, a "blood worshiper" and a member of the demon family "Andrelade".

The reason why he killed so many people this time and held the "Shadow of Jadabao" ceremony was to summon the projection of the famous high-ranking demon once named by Emperor Roselle, and to obtain some knowledge and intelligence from the opponent .

Since he himself is just a Sequence 7 "serial killer", the projection power he can summon will not be very strong, so he did not expect to be able to set off a killing in Tingen to please the opponent, purely with an attitude of exploitation.

The "1322 tragedy" in Lacey Town, Rhodes Islands, happened because there was no Extraordinary squad in that town.

"Hey, it turned out that a certain organization issued a reward in the "Blood Worship". With an "Abyss Card" made by Emperor Roselle as a reward, it was required to complete a designated assassination...

"After this Carlos Andrellard heard the news, he both coveted the'Abyss Card' and was worried that it was a trap, so he wanted to summon the'Jaldabao' who is said to have had a relationship with Roselle. The intersecting demon asked him about the specific function of the "Card of Blasphemy" and the information of the organization that issued the reward...

"Tsk tusk, I think that even if the demon named'Yadabao' knew it, he wouldn't dare to tell you...Well, I can't tell you, who knows that the idea of ​​this stuff is the same as that of human beings."

After roughly sorting out the causes and consequences of the matter, Abner muttered a few words to himself, and then packed the extraordinary characteristics that just happened to be packed in a tin box. This simulated "psychological stealth" with the corpse of a "serial killer". Climbed out from a nearby sewer exit.

Drag the corpse to the "Blackthorn Security Company" not far away, and then wrote a letter in the tone of "Doctor Strange" and threw it aside. Abner then Shi Shiran back to the hotel, took a shower again, and removed it. The smell of sewers.

...

After a while, Captain Al took Dr. Duster and several reinforcements from the "Mechanical Heart" and "Punisher" members back to the company.

As soon as they approached, they were inspired, and they all looked at a dirt box around the corner.

And Al's eyes were sharper, and his attention was quickly placed on a piece of paper in front of the box.

He picked up the letter with a solemn expression, read it, then stretched his brows a bit, but still muttered to himself in confusion:

"Who is this ‘Doctor Strange’?"

...

Abner, who had taken a bath and lay on the bed, felt the "feedback" brought by the night watcher, but he was still far from the expectation of "playing" himself. However, he had expected it and was not disappointed. He only concluded:

"'Fame' is in the right direction to help digestion, but in the impression of the night watchers this time,'erudition' is probably only incidental, and'mystery' and'danger' are their main ideas, so feedback It's only minimal.

"In addition, it is to use ‘knowledge’ to help others solve the ‘problem’, but not to help them solve it directly... Even if the situation is more urgent this time, it’s better to stay in the dark next time and not show up.

"Well, I have a guess about the complete performance of the'Educated Scholar'...that is, I use the knowledge I reserve to solve problems for others, and the people who are helped take the initiative to spread my reputation as'Educated', and then others will admire it again. Seek my help in the name of "Educated"... This cycle should be a complete play... Of course, the stage of the preliminary knowledge reserve and the stage of making oneself "Educated" cannot be omitted, otherwise once the name of "Educated" is not worthy of the truth, This "playing" cycle is broken.

"The key to the role of the ‘knowledge guard’ lies in ‘shou’, informing the right people of the right knowledge so that the knowledge can be continued.

"The ‘scientist’ is more focused on solving more problems with knowledge, reflecting the inherent meaning of ‘omniscience leads to omnipotence’.

"Although this conjecture is only my current subjective conjecture, some evidence can be found in the original work.

"For example, Luca, the demigod of the Church of Knowledge in Sibelang, is a famous'wise man' in the rebel army. The leader of the rebel army has to ask him for a single arms business... This may be his demigod. The legacy of the'playing'.

"In addition, let alone Lieutenant General Bingberg, her reputation as'erudite' and'strict attitude towards knowledge' even known to Alger, who has nothing to do with her, shows the wide spread of it.

"To put it simply, the role of a ‘Mutual Scholar’ is to show me my sage~lightnovelpub.net~ to show off knowledge, right?

"Well, I'm familiar with this."

Abner sighed slightly, laughed at himself a few words, and then forced to sleep with the help of ‘meditation’.

...

At the same time, a file about "Doctor Strange" was also sent to churches in various places by "Night Watcher", "Machine Heart" and "Punisher".

It's just that no one has actually seen the appearance of "Doctor Strange" and cannot judge its strength, and its own position seems to be more official, and the degree of danger is not high, so it has not attracted attention.

...

On Wednesday morning, Abner left Tingen on the earliest train and arrived in Backlund at noon.

As soon as he returned to the garden house at 28 Kingster Street, before he had time to take off his hat, Mr. Skard, the butler, came to report:

"Detective Bryan, Duke Negan's secretary came to you before."

"Duke Negan's secretary?" Abner was taken aback when he heard the words, wondering what would he do with me? Could it be that this second and fifth boy knew that I just killed a member of the demon family?

"Yes, he said that the Duke was grateful for your contribution to the ball, and he bought back your previous residence, intending to give it to you as a gift. Well, he came to you to sign for the house." Mr. Scarder Reposted meticulously.

It turned out to be for this... I thought that Duke Negan was so stingy that he only gave me a reputation... It turned out to be somewhat affordable.

Abner suddenly felt that he had no special feelings for the home of the original owner of the body, so he nodded slightly, and then asked, "Mr. Skard, who else has looked for me?"

"Except for Miss Hugh, only one of Detective Zaire's children named Ian has come here once." Mr. Skard replied after thinking for a while.
