Start with the Readers Chapter 125: Russell at home delivery
"Why are you attacking Owen?"
Hearing this question, "Ancient Scholar" Daphne Priest came to organize the sentence a little bit, and answered without reservation:
"Speaking seriously, there are three main reasons for this matter.
"However, now that I think about it, it feels like a bit of a coincidence...
"First, I happened to make the 'Witch of Pain' Reina into a secret puppet before, and learned from her about the relationship between Owen and her and her original wife 'White Maiden' Katerina Enmity...
"Of course, this is not the point. What's more important is that I know from her memory that Owen once sent someone to contact Baron Larry of Loen, and they probably know about the 'Ghost Empire'.
"And I am very interested in the legacy of Trunsost.
"Secondly, the Prime Minister of the Deleon family issued a commission to the Secret Order to intercept Mr. Owen through some channels... and I, who wanted to obtain information from Owen, simply accepted this Commissioned, and obtained information on Mr. Owen's itinerary from the Delion family, and carried out an ambush in advance.
"You also know what happened later, because I didn't want the authorities to notice the movement of the demigods fighting, and because of Owen's lustful character, I pulled him into the "Book of Virtue"...
"It's a pity that whether it's the information given by the Delion family or Lena's memory, there is a huge gap in understanding of Owen. He took...that nasty thing and forced me to run away..."
Speaking of this, Daphne's tone inevitably contained a little resentment, as if she was very upset about her being defeated by a Sequence 3 by a Sequence 4.
After all, as an "ancient scholar", in the "Book of Virtue", she couldn't let the summoned historical projections carry out substantive attacks. down.
Although the prime minister of the Deleon family is almost crazy, he still understands who is his biggest threat... The thoughtful Abner completely ignored her aggrieved, and continued to ask:
"What about the third reason?"
Daphne adjusted her mood and continued: "Thirdly, many families in Trier do not want Owen to come back to restrict the prime minister. They hope that the current prime minister can continue to make some wrong decisions. Arouse public anger to reduce resistance to subsequent reforms.
"This is dominated by the Surrey family and the Sauron family.
"So, in addition to Deleon's commission, Mr. Owen actually has a reward on the black market!
"As far as I know, the person who offered him a reward is probably Miss Fanny, a rising political star of the Surrey family...
"Of course, it may also be Viscount Abner Braine behind this lady."
God tm Abner offered a reward to Owen... Is this considered that I hired someone to kill myself? Abner complained mentally, but on the surface after thinking about it for a while, he asked again: "How did you catch Katerina's former husband... oh, that's the 'Witch of Pain' Lena. ?”
This incident does seem to be a bit of a coincidence, maybe there is someone else behind the scenes.
Daphne glanced at Lena who was wearing a monocle and sitting motionless on a chair, and said after deliberation:
"The identity I am playing now is a member of Congress. Although I am low-key, I will inevitably have political enemies...
"I conducted a 'psychic' on Reina before, and the result I saw was that she was a killer sent by one of my political enemies.
"I didn't suspect anything before, but now that I think about it, there may be some problems... The results of the psychic may not all be true."
It's like letting her take the initiative to die, and send you information by the way, so as to arouse your interest in Owen! There is a high probability that someone is behind the design...
Who will it be? One of Owen's enemies? Rival? Sufferer? Just looking through Owen's memory, you can find no less than ten suspects... Owen is really hated!
However, there are not many people who have the ability to "arrange" a powerful "Witch of Pain"...
In addition, this person's strength should not be too strong, at least he is not sure that he can take down Owen, so he will use the people from the Secret Order to do it.
In the end, the people behind the scenes are likely to be in collusion with the people of the Secret Order, otherwise they would not know that Daphne cares about the "Empire of Ghosts"...
While his thoughts were turning, Abner was about to continue asking, but there was a knock on the door of the living room.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Abner took the initiative to remove the "spiritual wall", Daphne asked aloud.
She could feel that it was her housekeeper who knocked on the door, and added: "Come in."
After the housekeeper opened the door and entered the living room, he quickly saw Abner sitting on the sofa drinking tea, but he didn't think there was any problem, and only responded after a salute:
"Ma'am, it's Inspector Russell visiting."
"Russell? Did he come to see if I'm dead?" Daphne sneered, and then explained to Abner beside her, "My political enemy was pushed up by Russell. She always wanted Take my place."
Russell? The Russell involved in the murder I met on the first train to Trier? That Russell who probably used Russell's "Les Miserables" as a script to prepare for the "devil" ceremony? The Russell who sent Bianca to my house to spy on me?
Tsk, I haven't taken the time to kill you, but you sent it to your door?
It happened to be solved together today!
With that in mind, Abner turned his head to look in the direction of the living room window, and called softly: "Yaloran."
Daphne followed Abner's line of sight without knowing what to say, but was surprised to find a beautiful woman with silver hair and red boy nodding slightly, as if responding.
This... an angel? It turns out that not only the envoy of God, but also an angel has descended... No wonder I couldn't move my body before offering my faith to the Lord!
Daphne looked stunned, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with the "Lord" being served by angels. After all, "The Lord" is the true God, so it's not natural to have angels to serve him?
…
Sitting in the living room, Inspector Russell frowned while taking a sip of the tea brought by the servant.
Although he didn't feel the danger, he felt a faint sense of uneasiness.
He came to the door today, as Daphne expected, to find out the current situation of this female congressman. After all, it has been two days since Reina took over the task, and the other party is not a Extraordinary, so there should be a result.
But at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the ceiling, and then his body suddenly swelled, tearing his clothes inch by inch, and instantly turned into a huge creature close to three meters!
His skin looks dull, but in fact it is dark and evil. The goat horns on the top of his head are curved and protruding~IndoMTL.com~ covered with countless mysterious patterns, and a pair of giant bat-like wings are spread out behind his back, entwined with light Blue flames, exuding a strong smell of sulfur.
As soon as Russell noticed the "evil thoughts" that could threaten him, he changed into a "demon" form without hesitation, which shows how much pressure the source of this evil thoughts put on him!
"Who exactly wants to deal with me? And I have been promoted to 'devil', what kind of existence should a person who can bring me that horrible feeling?"
While thinking in his heart, he broke through the window and came to the street.
But to Russell's horror, not only were there no pedestrians on the street at this time, even the buildings seemed to have disappeared, only a few white columns looming in the distance.
Seeing this, Russell flapped his wings and quickly flew in the direction opposite to those pillars, trying to get rid of the abnormal state in front of him.
However, the strange thing is that not only did he not get rid of the scope of the pillars, but those pillars got closer and closer.
"What's going on here?" Just as this thought flashed through Russell's mind, he saw those pillars suddenly appearing in front of him, and then he felt a huge force holding him down, pushing him down On the ground, and completely imprisoned.
