Start with the Readers Chapter 28: Prelude


Facing the teacher's surprise, Abner had expected it, but he didn't have a good excuse, so he had to explain a little bit: "I liked reading very much before I became a Extraordinary, which is very good for the digestion of potions. Helpful."

Detective Essinger Stanton took a deep look at Abner after hearing the word 'digestion', and said meaningfully: "It turns out that you have mastered the 'acting method' from the very beginning!" He cannot take the initiative to mention the "acting method" with others, but if the other party already knows about it, then there is no problem.

Once the Extraordinary of the Orthodox Church understands the "acting method", they will be required to make an oath of "not spreading" in front of the sacred object.

Abner knew this, so he didn't care that the teacher knew the 'acting method' but didn't teach him.

Seeing his student's still calm expression, Detective Essinger sighed, and said, "It seems that you know more than I imagined...whether you sum it up yourself or learn it from other sources, It's a good thing after all...Your future is much brighter than mine. I think I wasted more than ten years on the sequence of "reasoning student" and couldn't fully digest it, and I didn't realize it until I was forcibly promoted to "Knowledge Keeper". Based on experience, the 'acting method' was deduced."

No wonder you know how to act, teacher, you only have Sequence 7 so far, so it's not just a problem of not having the Sequence 6 formula...

Abner was a little taken aback, but he didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, after all he would inevitably lie! He didn't want to lie to the teacher.

"Teacher, you seemed very happy when you came back just now. Is there anything good?" Abner tried to change the subject.

Detective Essinger came back to his senses after hearing the words. He was unwilling to delve into the secrets of his students, so he showed a familiar smile and said, "It is the Punisher team that still failed to use the sacred objects. Keep the members of the Rose School of thought! This time they will be ashamed..."

Although the Church of Knowledge and the Church of Storms are incompatible, isn't it a bit too much to gloat at others' misfortune? Abner couldn't help but slander, because of the original novel, he actually had respect for the official Extraordinary team in his heart.

After all, they are wretches and guardians!

However, he quickly learned one thing from the teacher's narration: It seems that the place where the battle took place is not too far from the public library where he often stays? Also not far from Jane's clothing store?

"But why didn't I find out about the roundup?" Abner thought so, and asked.

"That's because the Church of the Storm used a special level '2' sealed item. I don't know what it's called. Its function is to pull Beyonders within a certain range into a strange enclosed space." Ask, Detective Essinger explained.

Is there such a sealed item? I don't know which way... Abner thought to himself.

……

In the middle of the night, Mr. Grant, who rarely went out to collect the corpse, woke up suddenly. He immediately sat up and looked around. Under the natural vision given to him by the 'Corpse Collector' potion, he can see all the spirits in the store.

However, he didn't find anything, so he turned on the gaslight in doubt and looked out the window. Everything was silent outside, only the crimson moonlight sprinkled on the ground like a gauze.

At this time, his wife, Mrs. Grant, woke up and saw her husband standing in front of the window sweating profusely, and asked, "My dear, what happened?"

Hearing his wife's question, although Mr. Grant was still puzzled, he forced a smile on his face and replied, "It's nothing... just a nightmare..."

……

In the warehouse of the clothing store, a figure wearing a black tuxedo and a dark red cloak was slowly outlined in the air. It was a middle-aged man in his forties, his hair was neatly brushed back, shiny and meticulous. , his pupils are dark green with no emotion at all.

As soon as he appeared, he yelled at a thin but strong man hidden in the warehouse in a low voice: "Tyl, restrain your malice! The owner of this house is an extraordinary person, and he has a high level of inspiration!"

"Master Steve, I really can't bear it anymore! And why should I bear it?" The man named Tyre scratched his spike-like hair and said in a hoarse voice, " I want to tear this family's body apart and listen to their wailing! If I endure it like this again, I will lose control!"

Steve the Wraith ignored him and disappeared into the warehouse. Meanwhile, the 'living corpse' Jason, who was also hiding on one side, threw a human torso to Tyre, and persuaded him: "Our prey hasn't been hooked yet, so it's not suitable to kill casually here. Tomorrow night, at most the night after, I will allow you to attack the two women in this family. Now, take this first. I killed it the day before yesterday."

"It's not new at all..." After Tyre muttered, he took it.

……

The next morning, because it was Wednesday, Abner invited Hugh to the underground shooting range of the Jowood District Police Station as usual. But this time, it was no longer the sleazy second-generation police officer Ai Tris who received them, but an elderly police officer Brier.

"Where did Aitris go? On vacation?" Abner asked strangely.

The old police officer Brier glanced at Abner, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Don't you know? That **** Ai Triss ran away from home!" I don't like Aitris, I'm afraid that I would like to publicize the inconspicuous things Aitris did.

"Run away from home?" Abner didn't expect to get such an answer, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Ai Triss left a letter to the director, saying that she was going to pursue her dream! Hey, that kid really doesn't know what to say, obviously the director has won him a place to be promoted to supervisor, but it's a pity that it is cheaper for others It's..." the old police officer Brier said gloatingly.

Is Aitris's dream... I remember being an adventurer? Was he stimulated by Miss Anne Gwen's action in the disappearance case last time? It seems that he was a little lost at the time...

Abner was silent for a moment, and did not continue this topic, only praying secretly for this bad friend in his heart. This made the old police officer who wanted to continue talking very uncomfortable.

After arriving at the shooting range and police officer Brier also walked away, Xio frowned and said seriously: "No matter what, you shouldn't ridicule a person who has a dream." She There is also a dream, a dream that one day she can rehabilitate her father.

"That's right! While you're young, you should pursue your dreams! And Aitris is indeed not a police officer..." Abner nodded in agreement. He immediately thought of what is his dream? Help Klein become a pillar? Solve the doomsday crisis to live longer? Or... go home?

Abner sighed, stopped thinking about it, and started today's practice with concentration.

Then...

Miss Hugh was stunned! She couldn't believe that Abner, who was only at the entry level in terms of shooting and swordsmanship last Saturday, now had the appearance of a master! If her physique hadn't improved, she might not have been able to defeat her opponent.

Even so, it was extremely difficult for Xio to win this duel.

"How did you become so powerful all of a sudden?" Xio gasped for several breaths before asking inexplicably.

"Because I have been promoted to Sequence Eight." Abner replied with a smile.

Xio didn't know the time when he became a superhuman, nor did he know which sequence he was. On the contrary, he wasn't particularly surprised, and even said in a daze: "I see, congratulations!"

As she spoke, she took out a book from her bag, handed it to Abner and said, "This is Forsi's "Storm Mountain Villa" sample book, just for you as a promotion gift!"

After taking it, Abner casually flipped through it, and said with a smile, "It's finally published? How's the sales going?" Although he knew that this book was famous in the original book, even Mister Fool had read it, but now it's It is the product of Hugh's reminder...

"The response is very good! Forsi has really become a well-known writer this time, and many literary salons have invited her to be a guest." Xio boasted for Forsi quite proudly.

Well, after all, Miss Xie is also responsible for the fact that this book came out so early! Abner complained in his heart, but on the face he suggested: "The rest depends on Forsi's acting ability~IndoMTL.com~ She'd better inadvertently reveal a little supernatural ability in front of some targets during the salon gathering ..."

After hearing this, Xio just pursed her lips, and said after a long time: "Abner, you're thinking too far... Fors is still staying at home every day and saying that she wants to rest. She is currently a member of the literary salon. None of the invitations were accepted."

"This... it's better to set the tone a little higher, so that it will get the attention of subsequent salons where nobles will participate." Abner racked his brains to excuse Miss Salted Fish.

Xio was dumbfounded, and then said helplessly: "Forsi will like the excuse you made for her!"

……

In the afternoon, as soon as Abner returned to the teacher's residence, Detective Essinger called him to him. Come and help me sort out the connections and clues of these trivial cases! This is good for your performance. Well, two or three hours a day is enough, and the rest of the time should be spent on reading and studying."

"These are all commissions from you?" Are there so many? How much does it cost? !

"Of course not! How come there are so many entrustments? But even if it is not an entrustment, if some strange things appear in front of us, why don't we try to figure it out? Moreover, Emperor Roselle has a saying that is to be prepared. When a When we have already found out what the client entrusted, we will be able to show the charm of reasoning to the employer more calmly and gracefully!" Detective Essinger said as a matter of course.

Abner opened his mouth when he heard this, and finally he could only sigh:

"The reader sequence is indeed a group of people who love to show off and show off!"

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Maric, wearing a white shirt and black vest, walked out of the Brave Bar from the back alley with his living corpse.
