Start with the Readers Chapter 691: Meet and talk

"Failed again..."

With the sound of a sigh, Mr. Surrey, in a straight white shirt and a tight-fitting brown vest, appeared near the dark figure, and removed the camouflage from his body.

It turned out to be a mechanical puppet with an extremely smooth surface.

Different from the surrounding ones with six-barreled machine guns, this doll is made of a very special material. Just looking at the color, it looks like obsidian. The bubble-like structure inside forms a kind of "snowflake". Effect.

Abner was not surprised by this either. Through the "magic mirror", he knew early on that the black figure was not a "person"!

"Is this made from the debris of the 'Shadow Stone'? As far as I know, the 'Stone Heart of the Shadow Stone' is one of the main ingredients of the 'Hermit' potion... the broken pieces of this stone Crumbs are indeed an excellent material for carrying 'shadow' type spells.

"Mr. Surrey is trying to make a 'stealth' mechanical doll?"

While speculating in his mind, Abner watched with great interest as Mr. Surrey removed the head of the puppet to check what went wrong.

After watching for a while, Abner roughly guessed the problem: the detection capabilities of those defensive mechanical dolls mainly come from thermal induction and sound waves, while the other doll that can "hide in the shadows" although Relying on the characteristics of the "Shadow Stone" material itself, it can insulate heat and sound waves... But its shape is too irregular, with sharp corners and flat surfaces everywhere, which should be the main reason why it will be "discovered" by its kind...

The puppet is not a real "hermit" after all, and the use of extraordinary abilities is not flexible enough.

Seeing that Mr. Surrey couldn't find the point for a while, Abner thought for a while, and lifted the "invisibility" effect of the "psychological" level in "Evans' Secret Barrier", and pointed out with a smile:

"Why do you have to keep its 'human' shape? Those arms, legs, and even the head are just for decoration, and they are completely redundant, aren't they?"

He came here to remind Mr. Surrey and Fanny of the possible danger. Now that he met them and no outsiders were present, he simply showed up.

Hearing the sudden words, Mr. Surrey was startled. The three Extraordinary items on his body were all in a state of being about to be activated. At the same time, the alert level of the villa's "ceremony" was raised to the highest.

What surprised him was that the dolls with six barrels turned a blind eye to the intruder, as if they didn't notice him at all.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Surrey..." Abner used the method of "psychiatrist" while speaking, so that the other party's emotions calmed down unknowingly.

Cotton Surrey collected himself, looked at the intruder carefully, frowned and said, "Mr. Abner Bryan?"

"It was me... who came here to be presumptuous, please forgive me..." Abner said as he took out the Roselle diary booklet that he had prepared before—it was the other party's dinner party a few months ago It was handed over to him, and it was taken out at this time to prove that he was not a fake.

Mr. Surrey took a few glances and confirmed that it was the booklet he sent out. He was slightly relieved, but he was still quite cautious and said: "Mr. Blaine, you really gave me a big surprise... "

After a pause, he asked again, "Is there something important about you sneaking in like this and showing up again?"

Abner nodded, and just as he was about to respond, a voice full of surprises came from his ear: "Abner? You went back to Backlund?"

Following the prestige, I saw a lady with long chestnut hair appearing at the stairs, it was Miss Fanny.

She was wearing tight muslin breeches in a spacious beige dress, and a pair of black boots on her feet. This dress did not affect her movements, but also highlighted her good figure, making her look charming and capable .

Obviously because she noticed that the ritual alert level of the villa had increased, she came down to help her grandfather without thinking...

Should it be called "barbarian"? If you can't rely on laws and rules, use force to solve it? Abner's eyes were unconsciously attracted for a moment, he thought about it, and he didn't shy away from it. He looked at Fanny generously, and then greeted with a smile: "Fanny, long time no see."

——For an Intis girl, it is an insult to look away from her.

"Long time no see." After Fanny responded, she wanted to get close to Abner, but she immediately realized that the scene seemed a little subtle, so she couldn't help but stop again, frowned and asked:

"Grandfather, what happened?"

"Now you have to ask Mr. Detective... His visit is not very formal, he broke into the villa illegally..." Mr. Surrey laughed "hehe", he also saw Abner at this moment It was indeed not malicious, and it eased the atmosphere a little, but the alert level of the "ceremony" was still in a state of being activated at any time.

Break-in? This is somewhat similar to the dream that day... Fanny didn't know what she thought of when she heard the words, her face turned a little red, and she asked a little reservedly: "Abner, why didn't you send a 'notice' to visit first? "

Miss... I know what you're thinking, and I also replayed your dream "Magic Mirror" that day... But ~IndoMTL.com~ I'm not here today to reenact the dream scene...

Abnannery, who simulated the ability of "mind reading", complained a few words, but explained on the surface: "It was Emma who wrote to me saying that you might be in danger, so I came to confirm source of danger."

After speaking, he threw Emma's letter to Fanny and taught her how to interpret it.

"It is indeed Emma's handwriting... Besides, this 'encryption' method is also her habit." Fanny confirmed that the letter was genuine, but then fell into confusion again, "But I am not in danger... ..."

At this time, Mr. Surrey, who was watching on the sidelines, was overwhelmed, and suddenly said: "This is not a place to entertain guests...you come with me."

After speaking, he picked up the pitch-black doll, and then manipulated other machines to faintly surround Abner and Fanny, before leading the way ahead.

They stepped across the corridor and soon entered a room with a heavy metal door at the back of the villa.

"That's the steam workshop built by my grandfather." Fanny introduced in a low voice. Due to the gap between the mechanical puppet, she and Abner kept a certain distance.

Abner nodded, opened the "Pure White Eye" to look around, and found that Mr. Surrey's workshop was not as delicate as Mr. Gaston's and his own, but its scale was far superior... The power of its power core is also much stronger than theirs.

After the three entered the workshop, Mr. Surrey opened the surrounding barriers again. At this moment, he seemed to be really relieved of Abner, let those mechanical puppets retreat to the side, and said after deliberation:

"Recently, our Surrey family has encountered a lot of inexplicable difficulties in Trier, and it seems that some people have deliberately targeted them...

"I guess the 'Fanny's Danger' that Miss Emma mentioned probably comes from this."
