Start with the Readers Chapter 24: Hugh’s findings
It was already late at night when Abner woke up again, even though he 'slept' for more than six hours this time, he still felt throbbing pains in his head. Apparently, the dried up spirituality still hasn't recovered.
"What happened to you? How was your spirituality consumed so thoroughly? You know, when you were sent back by the police, I almost thought you were going to lose control and turn into a monster on the spot! I've never seen anyone with spirituality Dry up like that... No, even a dead person will not have no spirituality left!" Detective Essinger, who had been guarding the bedside all the time, saw him wake up, couldn't help the horror in his heart, and asked repeatedly.
Everything in this world has spirits, and everything is evolved from the original creator, so even dead things are spiritual! Extraordinary people will lose control after their spirituality drops to a certain level.
Now that Abner also understands this knowledge, he knows that his state just now must be unreasonable, and he also ponders in his heart: "Was the pure white eye protected my spirit from getting out of control? Or is it the God of Knowledge who cares again?" Me? It doesn’t seem to be the same... The spiritual body is not like the body, and the loss of control caused by spiritual exhaustion is difficult to solve from the outside... Wait, all things are evolved from the original creator, and all madness and pollution also come from the source For Him... But I am not... My soul must come from a different universe, or even a higher-dimensional universe. So... There is no basis for my soul to lose control at all? But it is not right, if there is really no original influence , then where did my spirituality come from? Well, this is a possibility, and I need to verify it in the future."
Wanting to think about it, Abner put on a frightened expression on the surface, and said: "When I was observing a thing with a extraordinary item, I was suddenly backlashed... that thing may be related to someone with a high personality. Existence related."
"How dare you watch such a thing? Why didn't you become a monster on the spot?" Detective Essinger said angrily. He hates iron but steel for his students who are good at killing.
I didn't want to analyze such a dangerous thing... Abner was also very wronged, he really didn't want to do this. As for why the body has not changed, this is probably the protection from the pure white eye. After all, his body is different from the soul, and it is truly the original product of this world.
Seeing that Abner was still in poor spirits, Detective Essinger left after scolding him a few words so that he could have a better rest.
"The teacher must have guessed that I have some secrets... But if he doesn't ask, I'll just pretend to be stupid!" Abner sighed inwardly, and closed his glasses again.
But right now he couldn't sleep due to a headache, and after tossing and turning for a while, he sat up again, recalling the gray mist he spied before he passed out.
"Some of the essence of that puppet is actually related to the gray mist... What a fool! Now the great ruler above the gray mist is not the gentle and kind Klein, so what was I analyzing before? Fort? Or even Tianzun?" Thinking of this, Abner couldn't help sweating, just as the teacher said, it was the blessing of the gods that he didn't die suddenly on the spot.
"I remember that in the original novel, Miss Justice's mirror, Mr. Hanged Man's glass bottle, and Ms. Hermit's planetarium are all related to Origin Castle, representing the red stars dotted in the gray mist ...That puppet should be something similar. Hehe, my rash analysis this time is actually not completely fruitless, at least I know what is going on with the nature of this connection! Hiss..." Due to the labor pain, Abner He smiled with a distorted expression, but he finally felt that his spirituality had recovered a little.
"Now that I know the nature of this connection, I can design rituals to endow certain items with special attributes, so that it can be associated with the gray mist and become a red star on it. Of course, this association is only a single On the one hand, only the response of the Fool can truly establish a connection, which is essentially the same as the effect of chanting the name of the Fool in ancient Hermes.”
"So, this harvest is actually useless? Well... not necessarily, at least it provides me with a new path to join the Tarot Club in the future. You must know that if you want to join the Tarot Club, go directly to Klein himself Reality contact is the worst choice. There are too many gazes of great beings on him, and it is easy to fall into the scheme of approaching him. Even if you want to exchange information with him in the future, you have to go through Origin Castle! It will definitely achieve the goal. With Klein’s caution, how dare he respond casually when a stranger recites his name! Isn’t it afraid that it is sent by the real Creator or Amon? Instead, it is like the hermit lady or the little sun, holding the connection The items of Origin Castle and praying for something he is interested in are the most likely to achieve the purpose of being pulled above the gray fog..."
As Abner thought about it, the drowsiness finally overwhelmed the pain, his eyelids gradually couldn't be lifted, he yawned and lay down on the bed again, and fell asleep after a while.
……
At the same time, in a dark alley in the East District. Hugh, in a black cloak, hid behind a low wall and watched as a pale man loaded a cart with the body of a homeless man who had died in the rubbish. At this time, there were already two ragged, dirty and emaciated corpses on the cart.
"Is he...collecting the corpses of homeless people who died of starvation and freezing in the East District? I remember that this person is the owner of a clothing store. Why does he come to do such a thankless job?" Hugh's beautiful eyes were full of confusion, but soon she recalled the 'acting method' mentioned by Abner. After a week of experiments by herself, she has preliminarily determined that the "acting method" is effective, so she couldn't help but have a thought: "Is this person... impersonating? He is a corpse collector?!"
"I heard that the path of corpse collection is in the hands of the Church of Evernight and the Spiritual Order... Abner once said that the extraordinary people at the bottom of the church don't know the 'acting method', so he is probably the Spiritualist." People from the religious order? Well, I have to remind Abner to be careful when investigating him."
As soon as Xio thought of this, the man who collected the corpse suddenly turned around and looked over. Obviously, he found her hiding behind the wall.
Hugh was taken aback. She didn't know how she was exposed, but her good fighting awareness allowed her to respond quickly. Not only did she hold the triangular thorn with unknown poison in her hand, but also Abu Nagi's brass charm was drawn out.
Then she saw that the man on the opposite side also took out a brass charm, which was exactly the same as the one in her hand...
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air for a while.
The two confronted each other for a few seconds, and the man who collected the corpse couldn't bear it first. He lowered his voice and said, "Who are you? Why are you spying on me?"
Of course, it was impossible for Hugh to expose Abner, so after a moment of silence, he replied: "I am the 'arbiter' of the bounty hunters in the Eastern District. Someone entrusted me to investigate why you smuggled the corpse." Good at lying, but that doesn't mean he can't. And what she said was essentially true.
"Are you an official Extraordinary?" The man asked in a panic.
"Heh, it seems that you seldom come to the East District, and you don't even know about the 'Arbiter'." Xio pursed her lips, a little concerned about the ineffectiveness of her name.
Although Xio didn't answer directly, the man probably knew that the lady in front of him was a wild Beyonder just like him, so he relaxed his guard a little and explained, "I'm not smuggling corpses, I just want to collect and bury them! "
"You are not the undertaker of the cemetery, why did you do this?" Xio asked directly.
"Sorry, I have my reasons...I can only guarantee that I did not steal the corpse, nor am I doing something bad!" The man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I will preside over the requiem ceremony later, you You can watch!"
"This person doesn't seem to be wary of other Extraordinary people... A standard rookie! Just like me back then... If I hadn't met Forsi..." Xio sighed, knowing that this person should be Substituted his usual living habits of ordinary people into the world of extraordinary people. How dangerous is ritual magic? Generally, only those who absolutely trust are allowed to watch, otherwise they will be tampered with, and the end will be miserable.
"Then let's go!" Xio felt some compassion, and planned to take care of this person for a while tonight, and remind him vaguely after the ceremony~IndoMTL.com~The next morning, Ai Buner didn't open his eyes until eight o'clock. He meditated for a while, and found that his spirituality had fully recovered, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that there are no sequelae!"
With this in mind, he walked out of the bedroom and learned through his servant that Detective Essinger had gone out to investigate the case. Then he remembered that they had taken over the investigation of 11 disappearance cases commissioned by Sivelas Field yesterday.
"Looks like I don't have time to go to the public library to read books today. After I meet with Xio, I have to go to the police station in Jowood District to report. The two cases that the teacher gave me are still unsolved."
After sorting out the action plan, Abner immediately went out to the East District, and successfully met Miss Hugh in that small restaurant.
"Your complexion is not very good! Are you sick?" Xio looked at Abner, who was obviously a bit depressed, with genuine concern.
"It's just being backlashed by extraordinary items..." Abner didn't want to talk too much about it, and instead asked, "Have you gained anything?"
Xio Wenyan thought about it for a while, and finally asked politely: "Is your classmate's father a little silly?"
Abner was stunned when he heard this, and recalled Mr. Grant's decent behavior in dealing with people, and asked in puzzlement, "Why do you ask that?"
"His occult knowledge is quite rich, but he is very naive in many places!" Xio told Abner in detail the ins and outs of her encounter with the other party last night.
"He has my brass talisman in his hand?" Abner was puzzled by the news at first, but then he remembered the 'newcomer' who bought his last talisman at the extraordinary party the day before yesterday.
"That person should be Mr. Grant! No wonder I found his figure familiar when I followed him later..."
