v2 Chapter 679: Door and hometown

Outside the Backlund Steam Station, Benson is very experienced in protecting his sister and wallet. Successfully found the exit.

Suddenly, they felt a glance passing by at the same time.

Looking along, Benson and Melissa saw a young gentleman wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The gentleman pressed his top hat, looked over them, and then at another young man next to them, before passing them and entering the station.

At this moment, Melissa subconsciously followed his gaze to look at the young man with brown curly hair who was walking side by side with her siblings. She was a little familiar at first, and then she remembered the source of this familiarity-the newspaper!

This person seems to be a "hero detective"!

When Klein was still alive, we also argued whether the detective's deeds were true...

"If he is just an ordinary person, his legendary performance in the case will naturally look like fabricated... But if he is an extraordinary, maybe the content of the report and the deletion may not necessarily be..."

Melissa, who has witnessed extraordinary abilities, followed her brother to Backlund. In addition to going to school, she also concealed her purpose of searching for an "extraordinary world"...

And the famous detective in front of Melissa was very likely to be an extraordinary person.

"Moreover, even if he wasn't...he who has been in contact with so many unbelievable cases, he must have been in contact!"

Melissa has never been a girl who lacks mobility. Now that she has a judgment in her heart, she immediately struck up a conversation with a somewhat "surprise" tone:

"Are you Mr. Abner Bryan?"

This behaves like a fan girl who recognizes an "idol".

On the other side, Abner, who had just had a face-to-face with Mr. Fool's new vest, heard Melissa's question as soon as he retracted his gaze.

He was taken aback for a moment, then looked over at the sound, and politely responded: "I don't think you have admitted the wrong person, beautiful lady."

Although it is the first time Abner has met Melissa, he has seen the video displayed by Xio in the "Fort", plus the current location of the "famous scene" in the original book, and the body of the girl opposite. The man with high side hairline...

Suddenly he had some guesses in his heart.

Is Benson stopped now? Although he was a little surprised that his sister would take the initiative to strike up a conversation, he still greeted Abner very enthusiastically:

"I didn't expect to meet you here occasionally, Detective Bryan.

"My sister and I respect your heroic deeds very much."

With that, he took a half step forward, concealed Melissa behind him, and proactively stretched out his hand.

Abner stretched out his hand and shook his hand, and smiled: "Thank you for remembering me as a detective who is'excited'."

After a few polite words and exchanged business cards, the two went out of the station. On the one hand, they took Elaine and Leon and boarded the carriage sent by Mr. Skard to pick up the station. On the other side, they walked towards the smoke-smoke inside the garden in the middle of the street. Pillar, looking forward to seeing Backlund's underground traffic.

And since Melissa started to say hello, Klein, who had squatted down and pretended to be packing his luggage, also stood up again and whispered to himself: "If it's not troublesome, try to take care of Melissa for me."

"Okay." Miss Sharron's illusory voice rang in his ears.

——Because they have experienced the "Tingen" scene on the fifth floor of "Dream Labyrinth Tower" together, Sharon knew about the condition of Sherlock's original family.

...

After buying a second-class seat, Benson, who was sitting in the subway car, looked at his sister who had asked for Detective Brian's business card, and joked with a smile, "Melissa, I thought you were not interested in anything other than machinery. "

Melissa took the business card, carefully noted the address, and suddenly asked, "Benson...where is the house you booked from?"

"Jowood District, 26 Kingster Street.

"I heard from the intermediary that it was a nice big house with a very good environment. The surrounding neighbors were all middle-class families and very educated... Due to some accidents, the rent was so low..."

Benson answered without thinking. But when he was halfway through it, he found that his sister's expression was a little strange, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Melissa handed the business card back and pointed to the address on it.

Benson looked down and found the words "28 Kingster Street" printed on it.

"It turns out that the mansion next to us in the population is the residence of Detective Brian... This is a coincidence!" Benson couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Melissa secretly exhilarated in her heart: Is this the goddess who cares for me, so that I can approach the extraordinary world?

...

On the other side, after boarding the carriage, Abner heard the "lion" Lyon's tut: "You blamed me for messing around in Bayam. Seeing that you just arrived in Backlund, there was a market for women to strike up a conversation with me. What I did for you in Bayam may be conservative."

Regarding the terrible character of this "lion", after these days of getting along, Abner can also be considered to have learned, so he ignored its words directly, and changed the subject: "You promised me to come up with the'Card of Blasphemy' to start the curse. Has the matter of writing gone?"

"Have you tried'Isabella' and'Bruna'? Their names are wrong?" Leon "Lion" scratched his head with his paw, and asked rhetorically.

Elaine, who was sitting on the other side, knew nothing about their conversation. Whether it was Abner's "Tudor badge" or Lion Leon, she had enough ability to block her five senses without letting her notice it.

"That's not right... And, I think if it's just Roselle's woman's name as simple as that, Pannadia, who had always held it before, would have turned it on." Abner shook his head.

"That's right... You make me think... Hmm... When Roselle created this card, it seemed to be a full moon night... He seemed to look up at the moon." Lion Leon shook his head for a long time before spitting out this. One sentence.

"Full Moon? Could it be that the process of creating this card and the participation of Mr. Door? But I also tried words such as "Crimson", "Bethel", and "Abraham" before, but they were all wrong..."

Abner frowned, but had no ideas, and could only think endlessly:

"Full moon...what else does the full moon mean?

"Spiritually high? Goddess of the night? Lilith? Even the primitive moon?

"Well... when the emperor created the card of blasphemy ~lightnovelpub.net~ should have been on the moon, knowing that this world is actually the earth, but he can't go back again...

"Huh? Wait!"

Thinking of this, Abner suddenly thought of another meaning of "full moon", which is only a Chinese meaning:

"Look up at the bright moon, bow your head and think about hometown..."

Substituting the emperor’s state of mind at that time, if he had never known the truth of "crossing", the authority represented by "door" might be his hope of returning home, right?

It's a pity... this is the span of time...

With a sigh, some unexplainable "premonitions" made Abner, as a "half prophet", roughly guessed what the opening spell of the "door" card was.

"home!"

After covering the carriage with "Evans's Secret Barrier", Abner took out the card of blasphemy and chanted the mantra.

...

At 2:55 in the afternoon, Emlyn found an excuse in advance, left Harvest Church and returned to his home.

He held his favorite doll in one hand, while waiting nervously for the arrival of three o'clock.

Soon, although the sudden crimson light swallowed him, he once again came to the ancient and mysterious hall, and a lot of people were already sitting on both sides of the central bronze long table.

Before Emlyn looked around, he saw a lady on the opposite stand up and respectfully salute the mysterious being at the top:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

The other members also stood up and greeted similarly.

Until then, Emlyn realized later that he had missed something. He just wanted to say something to conceal his "disrespect" when he heard the lady who had just got up first said in an emotional tone. :

"Praise you, Mr. Fool.

"You saved Backlund again!"
