Start with the Readers Chapter 122: Block

Seeing Abner come to the entrance of the stairwell, the security personnel guarding here were about to step forward to question him, but a middle-aged gentleman who was well dressed just happened to come down from the second floor... Mr. Finkel, butler of Prince Edsac.

"Mr. Blaine is a guest of His Highness the Prince, please let him come over." Finkel stood on the stairs, glanced at Abner, and then instructed the security personnel.

Hearing what Butler Finkel said, the security guard made way for Abner to walk into the stairwell.

Ebner took a sneak peek at the butler, and saw that he was wearing a white shirt, a thick gray-blue vest on the outside that perfectly held his stomach, and a long tuxedo with clear lines and no flaws.

It looks like a professional noble butler, but Abner has no intention of underestimating him.

In the original book, although there is no description of this Mr. Housekeeper's actions, before and after the "Great Smog" incident, Triss, who held a "0" level sealed item and was at least the "Pleasure Witch" He was extremely afraid of him, and even described him as "scary".

After the old butler forced Prince Edesak to commit suicide, he was personally wiped out by the Goddess of the Night's descending container, which shows that his strength is not ordinary.

And in the aftermath investigation of the Church of Steam, his name and "Desperate Nightingale" Pannadia were listed side by side!

This is most likely a demigod! Even if it's not, at least it's a very powerful Sequence 5... just don't know which way it is.

While thinking in his heart, Abner followed the butler's footsteps and came to a living room on the second floor.

After another body search, Abner finally saw His Highness the Prince in a white dress.

Prince Edesak has a round face and a pair of narrow eyes, but he is not serious at all, but always smiling. He looked at Abner who was led in by the butler, and said with a smile:

"I finally see you, Detective Brian."

"Hello, Your Highness. I didn't know that it was Your Highness who asked Talim to find me." Abner bowed and saluted.

"I also didn't expect you to become Backlund's 'hero'... Hehe, speaking of it, the sharp increase in sales of the "Daily Observer" last week was also related to the publication of your exclusive interview. "Prince Edsac smiled and teased, then restrained his expression, and continued, "Of course, what I didn't expect even more was that you, Detective Brain, are related to the Church of the Mother Earth."

As soon as he said this, a middle-aged man wearing a modified captain's hat standing behind the prince suddenly became serious, and looked at Abner carefully. He originally thought that the prince just summoned a "famous detective" temporarily, but he didn't expect that the other party had such a background.

Naturally, Abner also felt this gaze... To be precise, he noticed this man who didn't look like he came to the ball from the moment he entered this room.

Judging from the clothing, I should be a "punisher"... Fortunately, I am reporting on behalf of the "Earth Goddess" church. Take it on the spot.

Rejoiced in his heart, Abner did not look at the man on the surface, but said to Prince Edesak with a serious expression: "Your Highness, I came to see you because I found out at the ball A terrible thing... If it is not handled properly, it may cause heavy casualties!"

Prince Edsac raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and before he could ask what was going on, the middle-aged man behind him asked, "What did you find?"

Abner did not answer directly, but turned his attention to the prince.

Prince Edsaac frowned, feeling dissatisfied in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "This is the Lord's 'Punisher', Captain Kuhn. Detective Bryan, You don't have to worry about it."

Well, of course I wouldn't worry. It is better to tell the "punisher" than to tell you. After all, you may lead people away after you understand the seriousness of the problem, but the "punisher" will not... because they are guardians.

"I found that Ms. Hazel, the daughter of Congressman Macht, has a very strong 'primordial moon' aura... If you don't deal with it as soon as possible, there may be changes in the ball." Abner briefly described the matter Once again, he believed that with the profession of "Punisher", he would not be ignorant of the seriousness of "Primitive Moon".

"'Primitive Moon'... are you sure?" Captain Kuhn's expression changed suddenly, and he asked hastily.

"I want to be sure, that is the 'prime moon'! Besides, Miss Hazel must have been used, there must be another mastermind behind this matter..." Then, Abner didn't hide too much, He told all the information that could be revealed, including the fact that Hazel might be an Extraordinary of the "Thief" path.

Captain Kuhn nodded and said: "I believe that the Church of the Mother Earth is professional in dealing with the issue of the 'primordial moon'..."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Prince Edsaac, who still had a somewhat dazed expression on his face, and asked: "'Primitive Moon' is a dangerous evil god, since he has brought his breath to this There must be a conspiracy at the ball... Your Highness, although the sealed item we brought can divide the space, its effect cannot completely isolate the influence of the evil god... I beg you to let Mr. Finkel take action and protect it Most of the ordinary people below."

Although Prince Edesak didn't know what the "primordial moon" was, he saw that the captain of the "Punisher" team was so solemn and knew the seriousness of the matter. He first said: "I understand It’s gone.” Then he asked his butler, “Finkel, many of the people below are my friends and partners, and I don’t want them to have any accidents.”

"My first task is to protect you, Your Highness the Prince." The old butler replied clearly, but when he saw the prince looking at him with a firm expression, he hesitated again and continued, "If I still have time to spare, I will take care of the guests."

Prince Edsac finally showed a smile. He first talked with Kuhn in a low voice, then looked at Abner, and said sincerely:

"Mr. Blaine, although the news you brought is not pleasant, it is timely. Maybe tonight, you will become a 'hero' again."

"I'd rather not be a 'hero', but just come to an ordinary ball..." Abner said with a wry smile.

…

In the dance hall, Hazel was stunned for a while by Abner's sudden escape, then angrily dropped the food plate and returned to her parents.

At this time, a gentleman who had pursued her for a long time came to invite her to dance, but Hazel, who was in a bad mood, flatly refused, and even spoke directly and hurt people, which made the other party very embarrassed.

This made Mrs. Macht, who had always valued family upbringing, very angry, and she called her daughter aside and reprimanded her in a low voice.

Hazel, who was already upset, was even annoyed by the training, and decided to go back and find out the identity of the man who ran away when she saw him, and then make him look good.

But at this moment, Hazel suddenly felt a palpitation, and then became sober and rational, and all the irritability and annoyance disappeared.

At this moment, she actually knew clearly that she was no longer in the real world!

She looked around ~IndoMTL.com~ in a daze and found that the gentleman in a tuxedo on the left was still asking an impatient lady to dance. He had two daughters, a fallen noble lady in a light blue dress He was trying to introduce his daughter to a wealthy businessman. And beside her, someone was holding a dinner plate and eating the ice cream provided by the dance... Everything was the same as before.

But Hazel was even more frightened by this scene, she quietly activated her spirit vision, and then found that none of these passengers emitted the corresponding aura color and emotional color!

They have no etheric body!

They were clearly talking, inviting dancers, and eating ice cream, but there was no sign of them being alive!

Is this an illusion, or did they die suddenly? The more Hazel thought about it, the more frightened she became, she quickly turned her head to look at her parents, only to find that they were exactly the same as the others she had seen, they were not living people at all!

Hazel was at a loss and ran around the ball venue, hoping to find something. But she still had too little knowledge, and she didn't understand what happened to her at all.

At this moment, her heart moved, and she took out the emerald green seed from her pocket.
