Start with the Readers Chapter 31: Jane’s choice


Detective Essinger narrowed his eyes and looked at Abner after hearing the words, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't care why you borrowed '2-081', I just want to tell you that no matter what you do in this world You must proceed step by step, and you must not be impatient or blind, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.”

Abner was very moved by the teacher's caring but not in-depth attitude. He straightened his expression, nodded seriously, and said, "I understand. Thank you for your advice, teacher."

"My extraordinary items will be placed in the storage room every night, and I will allow you to enter for an hour at ten o'clock every night! Now, let's do the daily study and sort out the materials first." Detective Essinger said Walked back to his office.

Abner secretly clenched his fists, feeling that he was one step closer to Sequence 7!

……

Near the Bar of the Brave, in the apartment where Abner used to prepare potions to advance to Sequence 9 'Reader', Jane stared blankly at her father's corpse, motionless, like a statue. There were no tears on her face, but she felt more sad than when she was crying.

Silent sorrow is far worse than crying bitterly!

At this time, sitting opposite her was the delicate Miss Sharon who was as delicate as a doll, and the gloomy young man Maric in a white shirt and black vest.

"We've told you clearly what happened. Sharon and I are very grateful for your father's sacrifice, which saved us from trouble! Although he didn't mean to help us..." Having said that, Maric frowned and looked at the young **** the other side who was still unresponsive, raised his voice slightly, and continued, "As for repayment, I will give you two choices now. One is that I will give you a large sum of money and arrange for you to change Identity, go to other cities to start life again..."

"Another option? Can I have those extraordinary powers like you? I want revenge!" Before Maric could finish his sentence, Jane interrupted him in a terribly cold tone.

"This is exactly what I want to say... We will help you become a Extraordinary! It also has two options, the first option you need to wait for a while, and Sharon and I will help you collect materials and make a copy The potion of 'Prisoner'. Second, you can directly take your father's Extraordinary characteristics and become a 'Corpse Collector', but this is dangerous, because we don't know the auxiliary materials of this potion." Maric said in a tone Said calmly.

"It turns out that my father is a 'corpse collector'... No wonder he always goes out at night recently... Abner also said that he went to volunteer work..." Jane murmured, then recovered, and said firmly: "I Choose my father's path! I will take this extraordinary path instead of him! Let him always be by my side!"

"Have you really thought about it? You must know that the chance of getting out of control by taking the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 9 directly is not too high, but it is much more dangerous than the complete potion!" Maric reminded again.

Jane didn't speak, but just looked at him stubbornly.

At this time, Miss Sharon said coldly: "Maric, promise her. There is no problem with such a will."

Maric nodded after being silent for a moment, then took out the preparation container, mixed the Extraordinary characteristics obtained from Mr. Grant with some commonly used harmless ingredients, stirred it evenly, and handed it to Jane.

Without any hesitation, Jane drank it down immediately after taking it!

……

In the evening, Abner was reviewing Detective Essinger's previous commission when the teacher's servant suddenly walked in and handed him a telegram.

"From the Bar of the Brave? A telegram from Kaspers? Let me go to his place..." Abner looked at the content on the paper, pondered for a moment, then walked out of his room and rang the teacher's office the door.

"Kaspers is trustworthy, and generally he won't do you any harm..." Detective Essinger obviously knew his intentions and said directly with a smile.

Abner nodded, and said after deliberation: "Actually, even if he doesn't call, I plan to go to him soon... But I didn't expect him to take the initiative... There shouldn't be an easy way to show up right now." .”

"It seems that you have some understanding of what happened in that little girl's house..." Detective Essinger was a little surprised at first, and then understood Abner's purpose for coming to him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I still If they are self-preserving, even if they have ideas, they will worry about my reporting!"

Abner heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He somewhat guessed who was looking for him, but although Maric and Sharon were not bad in the original book, they must be guarded against others. It's just a little late.

At this moment, Detective Essinger thought for a while, then took a hat from his hand and handed it to Abner, and said, "Lending you this hat will also allow you to fight back when you are in danger."

"This is..." Abner looked at the hat and his heart moved. Could this be one of the sealed items treasured by the teacher depicted in the original book? The one equivalent to the sun brooch that Klein bought?

"This is a shape-changing hat ~IndoMTL.com~ Wearing it, you can move freely underwater for at least half an hour, and use some spell-like spells in the water and wind domains. The flaw is, You will long for water, and once you walk on the ground, you will become weaker and weaker! Of course, just going to the bar will not have such a big negative effect." Detective Essinger introduced with great interest .

"Thank you, teacher!" Abner thanked again, put on the hat worth at least 2,000 pounds, and took the subway to the Bar of the Brave.

……

In the bridge area, Kaspers is still the same. While playing billiards, he looked at Abner who walked into the game room, and said with some surprise: "Your temperament has changed a lot compared to before! If your appearance has not changed, I almost don't recognize you..."

Abner sighed, and said with some emotion: "I have encountered a lot of things recently, and I have grown up..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Someone wants to see you, I'll take you there." Kaspers put down his club and limped to the door.

"Who is it? That Mr. Maric?" Abner asked curiously while following up.

"Why do you think it's him? Heh, he hasn't dared to show his face recently! It's a little girl who wants to see you!" Kaspers said with a smile.

"Little girl? Could it be Jane?" Abner showed a surprised expression, since he had known only a few girls since time travel, Xio and Fors didn't need to go through Kaspers to find him.

Soon, they came to a building that Abner was familiar with.

Caspers stepped forward to open the door, pointed with his finger, and signaled Abner to go in by himself.

Seeing this, Abner took a deep breath, and stepped into the living room.
