"Name: Unstoppable Fear

——Whether it is the enemy or myself.

"Appearance: a crystal glasses with a metal frame.

"Function: The wearer of the glasses can obtain convincing charm and sufficient authority, can detect abnormal factors within a certain range, and grasp the inconspicuous traces; when the distance is close enough, they can detect and sense Unshielded things related to evil, chaos, and madness;

"Press and hold the button on the edge of the right frame of the glasses with your finger, and you can cast a'whip of pain' on the target reflected by the pupil, which can cause great uncontrollable mental damage to the target; hold the edge of the left frame with your finger Button, you can cast a "mental piercing" on the target reflected by the pupil, pierce the target's spirit body, and directly attack the target's spirit.

"Negative effects: the wearer will have unfounded fear of'toxins' and violent'explosions', and as the wearing time is extended, the fear will become more serious. If you wear it for more than half an hour, even if you hear the balloon The'explosion' or the faint smell of gas will lose the ability to move due to fear, and can only shiver.

"If you only wear the glasses, the above-mentioned negative effects will gradually recover after you take off the glasses; if you press the button on the edge of the frame and actively stimulate the'mental puncture' or the'whip of pain', you will not be afraid even if you take off the glasses. It will disappear, and it must be restored with supplementary'psychotherapy' or'immune fear'."

"How to use: When wearing glasses, the ‘Immune Fear’ of the ‘Sun God’ can be applied to oneself, which can effectively reduce the negative effects.

"Seal method: Put it in a metal container and seal it spiritually."

Abner, sitting at his desk, played with the glasses in his hand, while listening to the report given by Elaine on the opposite sofa.

It was already Wednesday afternoon, and it was less than six hours before the extraordinary party at the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" in the evening, and the puppet "Sea Snake" Weaver he had planted before also reported the latest news.

This Weaver is very clever. In order not to expose the relationship between him and Abner, he sent a list to every force invited to the meeting, which included some items that might appear at the meeting.

And this one sent to Abner has an extra document written in code words than other people.

This kind of whisper was agreed upon with Elaine when Weaver came here last time-she helped "Lieutenant General" Tracy deal with similar things when she was on the "Black Death", so she was no stranger.

"Weaver reported that there are three types of people who may be provocative and trouble-making at night gatherings.

"The first is that they are not invited, they are just pirates or adventurers who meet the occasion. They may not obey the order established by the bar party, or they may be provoked only for the purpose of probing... This is for every new party. Normally, Weaver said that he had already made arrangements to deal with such people.

"Second, it is the ‘troublemakers’ invited by competitors. They often present some ‘difficulties’ to the party organizers and suppress the prestige of the party... In this regard, Weaver is not completely sure of the solution.

"The third and most unpredictable thing is that those who failed to compete with Weaver come back to retaliate. Once they come back, they must have confidence. Maybe they have something dangerous with them, or they have brought some dangerous people. "

After speaking, Elaine handed the document "translated" in her hand to the desk.

Abner didn’t take the document, but just learned to be a “fool”, tapped the edge of the desk lightly with his finger, and said, “I will personally take the next two types of people...you write in code words. Give a ciphertext to the person sent by Weaver, telling him not to worry."

"Yes, sir." Elaine nodded, wrote a reply in front of Abner, and then left the office and went to the living room on the first floor to find the messenger sent by Weaver.

At this time, the valet Winter, whom Abner took after coming to Byam, knocked on the door and walked in and reported respectfully: "Sir, a gentleman named Leonard Mitchell is visiting. , He said that he was coming to greet your friend Creste Cesima."

Leonard? Why would he come to visit me? Also greeted Sesima...Are I that familiar with the guy who skipped meals?

Abner sneered, roughly guessing what Sesima sent Leonard over...

This is a bit suspicious of me... and right, after all, the locations of "Hero Detective" and "Doctor Strange" almost overlapped. Even if there were only two, it might be a coincidence and it is worth investigating.

Thinking like this in his heart, Abner nodded with a smile:

"Cesima is indeed my friend... well, it's almost tea time, let's advance a little bit."

"Okay, I will invite that Mr. Leonard to the living room on the second floor." Winter understood the employer's meaning without difficulty.

Abner nodded lightly and said nothing more. After Winter went down to make arrangements, he changed into slightly more formal clothes, walked downstairs, and came to the living room.

Leonard has black hair and green eyes, wearing tight trousers that are easy to move, and a black trench coat. He has obvious poetic romantic temperament. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room "in a daze". Excessively, I hurriedly stood up and greeted:

"You are Mr.'Hero Detective' Abner Bryan? Nice to meet you. I am Leonard, Deacon Cesima's subordinate."

"Welcome to you, Mr. Mitchell." Abner shook hands with the future Mr. "Star" equally enthusiastically, and then enjoyed the afternoon tea in the manor together while "business blowing up".

After borrowing some familiarity with the topic of local customs, Abner took the opportunity to praise Leonard's poetic temperament and asked him to improvise a few poems in an expectant tone.

Regarding this, Leonard was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a pit and jump down... After all, he didn’t know why Sesima asked him to visit Abner, and he had no friendship with each other. He was talking awkwardly. When it comes to poetry, it’s even more difficult for him...

Therefore, even if Leonard liked the desserts of Fragrant Manor very much, he still offered goodbye under the pretext of official business.

After Mr. Butler personally sent him out of the door, the corners of Abner's mouth, who had originally looked sincere, twitched slightly.

After seeing this, Elaine couldn't help but shudder. She didn't know who her employer was going to calculate again... After all, he had shown this expression to himself and Weaver at the beginning.

...

On the other side, Leonard, who had just gotten in the carriage, was about to go to the Telegraph Office to send a report to Your Excellency Sesima, who was in the Church of Winter County, when he suddenly heard a slightly old voice in his mind:

"This'hero detective' reminds me of an acquaintance from Solomon's time..."

"You mean...'Hero Detective' is an old monster from the Quaternary period?!" Leonard was startled when he heard the words, buried his head, and asked in a low voice.

"I just said that he reminded me of an acquaintance, and did not say that he is an acquaintance..." The slightly older voice, namely Pales Zoroast, replied~lightnovelpub.net~wh... …Old man, you almost scared me…" Leonard let out a sigh of relief, returning to his previously slightly sloppy posture.

"However, he may have something to do with my acquaintance... The temperament is five to six points similar; the way of speaking, regardless of the difference in language, is also seven to eight points likeness...

"The most important thing is that I can't steal anything other than the exclusion from him... This is the same feeling that my acquaintance gave me..." Pales Zoroast said as if he was in a trap. recall.

"Things other than foreign objects...what is that?" Leonard asked puzzledly.

"A lot of... such as memory, such as ability, and... destiny." Pales Zoroast sighed and continued, "He may have inherited some things from my acquaintance. Quality."

Leonard took a deep breath and almost blurted out the question of "Fate can be stolen?" It took a long time to ask again: "Old man, what is your acquaintance's name? Maybe, I can help you investigate the'hero detective' Relationship with him."

"His name is Rhein Karendia, and he is a duke of blood."
