Start with the Readers Chapter 5: Hugh and Jane
Why help you? Of course, because you are the "judgement" of the Tarot Society in the future, I just made a good relationship in advance... But I can't say this directly... Abner touched his chin and decided to bring the problem to the past, so he put on a pose He replied with a serious look: "Maybe, you should give me some intelligence fees? It's equivalent to hiring me to investigate, so it's not helping you but trading!"
"What?" Xio almost didn't turn his head around, and after two or three seconds, he obviously stared wide-eyed, uncertainly, "Sir, are you a detective?" But I've never seen A detective who takes the initiative to work and asks for money.
Miraculously, Abner caught up with Xio's train of thought, and said casually: "It's not yet... Well, you must know that people who want to make a difference in the world are often able to take the initiative to find the situation they want. If they can’t find it, they will create it themselves.” Sooner or later, the reader’s path will be a detective, not now and will be in the future.
"Emperor Roselle's words are indeed reasonable..." Xio nodded in approval. But I always feel that you are perfunctory me, just like Forsi before! Of course, Xio didn't say the latter sentence, and she could see that Abner had no malicious intentions at this time, so she didn't expose him.
What? Is this also what Roselle said? ! It's really hard for him to pretend that such famous quotes are used!
Abner was speechless for a while, and felt that Klein's complaints in the novel were really accurate. The Great Emperor had no dead ends in all directions and did not leave a way for the later traversers!
"So, how much gold do you plan to ask for the information just now?" Xio has always been fair in doing things, and he is unwilling to owe favors casually, even if the other party's information has yet to be verified.
"Um... 10 pounds?" Abner didn't know much about making money after time travelling, so he didn't dare to ask too high a price.
Xiu was in a trance again when he heard the words, and he couldn't even hold his serious face. He said helplessly: "Sir, do you know that the price you gave makes me think you are a liar! The reasoning you made Not to mention the analysis, but the sequence knowledge of the scammer involved in it is more than this little money. And if the impersonation method is true, I am afraid that thousands of pounds will be wanted to know!"
Thousands of pounds? ! Abner's heart trembled, but he managed to calm down and explained with an unchanged expression: "Knowledge is priceless, but I am a person who is willing to share knowledge... 10 pounds is just the price of reasoning." Although His heart bleeds, but he doesn't regret giving Miss Judgment this discount. Anyway, even if he doesn't talk too much, the other party will know this knowledge in a few months.
Xio didn't see the strangeness in Abner's heart, nodded and accepted the other party's words, and continued: "I will verify the knowledge you gave, the 5 pounds is a deposit, if what you said is true , I will give you the rest of the reward later... Then, future Mr. Detective, what do you call, and how can I contact you?" Hugh took out a 5 pound note from his wallet and pushed it to Abner as he spoke. before.
"Just call me Abner, I should have had breakfast in this restaurant for the past month." His identity is still very clean, and Abner doesn't need to use a pseudonym. In addition, he was not pretentious, and put away the 5 pounds without any hassle.
"Although you may recognize me, let me introduce myself. My name is Hugh, Hugh Dilza. Let's stop here today, Mr. Abner. Goodbye!" After finishing speaking, Hugh stood up and said To leave the restaurant.
At this time, Abner couldn't help but stop her, and said: "Miss Hugh, you just need to know about the impersonation method, don't disclose it to others, if you are taught to know that you spread the impersonation method, there will be No small trouble!"
"Is it because the Church of the Seven Gods has monopolized the acting method?" Xio stopped and asked thoughtfully.
"To be precise, none of the middle- and lower-level Extraordinary members of the church know about impersonation, only the higher-ups know it!" Abner emphasized on the "higher-ups".
"Thank you, I understand!" Xio saluted, thanked Abner for his reminder, and left the restaurant after saying goodbye again.
After Xio left, Abner was eating the breakfast brought by the waiter, while reflecting on what he had done just now: Although forming a good relationship with Miss 'Judgment' is the established goal, but I seem to have a little acquaintance It's too deep. Hmm, is it because I am unconsciously excited to travel to another world and talk to my favorite novel characters so that I am willing to show myself? Or does the 'reader' sequence potion have a 'side effect' of showing off knowledge? Think about the characters of this sequence in the original book, Essinger loves to show off his sealed items, Admiral Iceberg likes to show off her collection... and almost all people in this path are good teachers...
"Well, it's still a bit far to think about it, I'm not an Extraordinary yet!" Abner complained to himself, and then finished his breakfast gracefully and quickly.
After solving the stomach problem, Abner took a public carriage to the Jowood area, and then stopped in front of a clothing store that he remembered as familiar. Because he was going to attend a secret party tomorrow night, his original plan was to buy cloth and needlework to sew a face-covering robe, but now that Miss Hugh gave him 5 pounds, he could directly buy ready-made clothes.
This clothing store is owned by a friend of his in public school. It is not too high-end. Its customers are those who have just passed the threshold of the middle class.
As soon as Fang entered, Abner saw a girl about the same age as the original body running out of the store frizzily. Familiar memories came to his mind, he couldn't help but sighed helplessly, he skillfully reached out his hand to stop the girl from bumping into him, and said with a smile: "Jane, you are still so impatient!"
The girl Jane stabilized her figure, and when she saw that it was Abner, she immediately said happily: "Ah, Abner, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you just now! Hehe, I haven't seen you for several days. Are you done with everything? Are you here to play with me now?"
"It's settled, you know, I have already applied for graduation, and I came to your store to buy clothes and interview for a job." This girl is one of the friends who contributed money to Abner after the change of Abner's family. So he explained a few more words.
"That's it... I should have helped you choose, but the club's activities are about to start, so I have to hurry there as soon as possible." Jane said embarrassedly.
"Society?" If I remember correctly, this girl is one year younger than him, and she is a member of the ancient language club formed by the original body, and that club was disbanded after Abner applied for graduation. Buna, no one ever learned Hermetic.
"Ha, Abner, you know, I like all kinds of occult knowledge. After your club was gone, I joined Teacher Kapusti's club!" The girl replied.
"Ms. Kapusti?" Inexplicably, Abner felt that the name sounded familiar.
"Yes, Mr. Kapusti believes that death is not the end, and he can even intuitively understand death by using the secret contract. He told us that everything can be reversed. Yes, he believes that the dead can be resurrected! This Isn't it great?" Jane said excitedly.
It turned out to be this product! Abner instantly remembered the rookie teacher in the original book who led the students to play spirit dance in the cemetery.
Although there was no danger in a short period of time, even if something happened later, Klein would help to solve it, but Abner didn't want to help the kind girl in the original body get involved in extraordinary incidents, so he straightened his face and said: "Jane , you'd better not have too much contact with Teacher Kapusti, he is very dangerous!"
Jian was stunned when he heard the words, then blushed, looked at Abner secretly, and said in a low voice: "Abner, you care about me very much, don't you want me to be so curious about others?"
Girl, your reaction is wrong! What the **** have you figured out? The corners of Abner's mouth twitched when he saw this, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to warn: "Jane, since you like occultism, you should know that resuscitating the dead is taboo! Teacher Copusti's preaching of such ideas is either stupid or bad! "Of course, I know it's the former, because that teacher was evaluated by Klein as a rookie among rookies.
"Okay...Okay, listen to you. Well, I know it's taboo, but don't you want to know if the dead can really be revived?" Jane pursed her lips, feeling that what Abner said was right To ~IndoMTL.com~ I am a little bit reconciled.
"Even if it's true, how do you verify it? To steal the corpse? That's a crime!" Abner said in a slightly stern tone.
The little girl was obviously taken aback, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
At this time, the owner of the clothing store, Jane's father, Mr. Charlie, came over and asked suspiciously, "What crime?"
Seeing her father coming, Jane ran to his side, chattering about the conversation she had with Abner just now. This girl has a big heart, and she doesn't feel that she will be beaten if she tells the truth.
After hearing this, Mr. Charlie also became serious. He is a believer of the goddess, and he doesn't believe in resurrection from the dead, so he stared at Jane and said, "You stay at home today, and you are not allowed to join that club!"
Seeing Jane nodded subconsciously, he turned around and said to Abner with some gratitude: "Young man, thank you for your warning to Jane, otherwise I would not have known that she was going to participate in such a dangerous thing! Hmm , are you here to buy clothes? How about this, whichever one do you like, I will sell it to you at cost!"
Abner didn't expect such a good job, and he didn't refuse (he was poor after all), so he happily picked out a suit of casual clothes and a cloak with a hood, and the total cost was only three pounds.
For the sake of the discount, Abner decided to visit Jane again in a few days. If she still secretly participated in that club activity, he would find someone to report them, so that Jane would not be in danger.
……
That night, Abner opened the "Pure White Eye" again, intending to interpret the formula of Sequence 8 through Extraordinary characteristics. It's a pity that I encountered Waterloo this time, and even fell into a coma twice and got nothing.
"Maybe it's because I don't have enough knowledge of mysticism? Or maybe my spirituality is too low to fully utilize the current ability of the pure white eye?"
