Start with the Readers Chapter 32: Farewell
In the living room, Abner saw Jane. A completely different Jane from the one he had known before!
Her otherwise beautiful shoulder-length blond hair had become extremely dull, from brilliant to somber. The fair and rosy skin on her face in the past has also turned pale...
Of course, these are not the biggest changes. What made Abner most unbelievable was that Jane's eyes no longer had the sunshine, innocence and liveliness of the past, and instead there was only an indelible coldness left.
Abner didn't need to open his pure white eyes to know that the opponent had just become an Extraordinary, and the power of the potion overflowed and appeared! And the obvious signs are so great, it shows that there may be some problems in Jane's advanced process.
After a brief reasoning in his mind, Abner guessed the general truth, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Jane, you became a 'corpse collector' and directly used Mr. Grant's extraordinary characteristics? It's dangerous to advance like this, didn't those two people warn you?"
On the other hand, Jane was actually very happy to see Abner coming, and she still had a desire to tell him her grievances and vent her pain, but affected by the remnants of the potion, she couldn't do this at all. The act of getting close, I just instinctively rushed to Abner, and said in a tone and expression that was not so gloomy as possible: "Abner...you really know that my father is a Extraordinary! You lied to me back then My father is volunteering...you are also a Extraordinary, right?"
Seeing Jane running towards him with a 'gloomy' face, and her expression like a 'female ghost', Abner almost took a step back and raised his gun to defend himself... Fortunately, he realized that the other party did not show any signs of attack in time, and the management Only after he stopped his movements did he stretch out his hand to support her body a little stiffly as usual.
"It's obviously the same person, and it's obviously the same movements as before. The former Jane can give me a relaxed and comfortable mood, but now she makes me feel like an enemy!"
He sighed in his heart, but on the surface Abner seemed to be completely unaware of Jane's changes, and said helplessly: "Jane, you have to learn to control your behavior, and now you are already a 'corpse collector'. Letting you hit me like usual, with your potion-enhanced physical fitness, I'm afraid you can knock me a meter or two away."
"I'm sorry...Abner, you changed the subject again, you haven't answered my question yet!" Jane apologized guiltyly at first, and then it seemed that because of Abner's unchanged attitude, she found some old feelings , but the eyes are still cold.
It seems that her personality has not been greatly affected, which is not bad... Abner quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the spirit is not polluted, the residual effects of the potion will be digested sooner or later, at least there will be no loss of control danger.
"Didn't you also answer my question? Hehe, yes, I am an Extraordinary. And I did find out that your father has embarked on the extraordinary path, but he has never hurt others, and I don't want you and the Extraordinary When it comes to relationships, after all, Extraordinary means danger and madness... That's why I chose to conceal part of your truth. Well, I didn't lie to you, strictly speaking, Mr. Grant really went to volunteer, didn't he?" Abner said With a smile, he said.
Jane nodded with a cold face, but the words she said were too weak to match the indifference: "Abner...you, don't you want me to become a Extraordinary? But, if I don't become an Extraordinary, I will It is impossible to take revenge..."
Abner sighed, and said: "I just don't want you to be in danger... Hey, it's meaningless to say these things now. And I won't persuade you to give up revenge, although I don't understand you The hatred in my heart, but I can understand your pain and sorrow... I just want to remind you that the extraordinary path is doomed to be crazy and dangerous, you have to have this awareness!"
"Miss Sharron and Mr. Maliqi have both told me about this knowledge... and don't blame Mr. Maliqi, he has repeatedly emphasized to me the danger of directly taking Beyonder properties, but I have made up my mind, no matter what I will take revenge no matter what! I will kill the werewolf who killed my parents! I will completely destroy the Rose School!" As Jane spoke, her already pale face became more gloomy, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a little bit.
"I only hope that after the revenge, the innocent smile can return to your face." Abner didn't comment on her declaration, but said this solemnly.
"Thank you! Abner!" Jane's gaze seemed to soften a little, but she thought in her heart that it might be difficult for her to return to the way she was in the past.
Maturity is often only in an instant. But the price is not everyone is willing to pay.
Abner also knew that this was just his wishful thinking, so he didn't bother with this topic, and asked instead: "By the way, why did you call me here today? Before I came, I thought it was Mali. Odd.”
Jane wanted to smile, but she couldn't complete the action, and said with a distorted expression: "Miss Sharron and Mr. Maric need to avoid enemies and officials recently, and they often change their residences. It is inconvenient to take me with them, so arrange for me to go I am temporarily staying in Enmat Port, and I asked others to teach me mystical knowledge... I heard from them that Extraordinary people need a lot of money to buy materials for promotion..."
"I can lend you some..." Abner said directly when he heard this.
Jane shook her head and said, "I don't want to borrow money. My father whispered to me before that if there was any change in the family, he would let me go to the basement of a house in St. George's District to find him secretly Hidden belongings... Now that I think about it, my father may have had a premonition at that time."
This may be because he became a Extraordinary at the time and realized the danger of this road, so he prepared the back road in advance? Abner habitually analyzed a wave.
At this time, Jane looked at Abner seriously, and said, "Abner, it's not convenient for me to go out now, I want you to help me bring me the things my father left behind!"
"That's no problem, but why not entrust Maric and the others? You know, the less people know about your situation, the safer you are! The punishment-for-punishers are sparing no effort to find you!" Abner warned Jane tactfully , so that she can understand her situation clearly.
"Because I don't trust Maric and Sharon, although they saved me...Although they repaid me kindly...But they are also members of the so-called Rose School! I know I have some It's unreasonable, but I can't restrain my anger at them!" At this point, Jane looked at Abner nervously, and said, "Abner, do you think I'm bad?"
"No, this is only human nature! But I believe you can think clearly and restrain your anger after all. After all, this matter really has nothing to do with them." Abner comforted with a smile. This is also true, no matter whether Sharon went to attack the indulgent faction that night, that werewolf would not be able to control his desire to attack the Grant family.
"I will work hard. After all, even though my attitude is very bad, they have always been very patient with me... But now I only trust you, Abner! That's why I took the risk to meet you!" Jane said at the same time As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper with the address already written on it to Abner's hand.
After weighing it quickly, Abner felt that at most there were some arrangements reserved by Mr. Grant, and there should not be much danger, so he nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will not let down this trust!"
……
At 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, because the steam subway had stopped operating, it took Abner twice as long as usual to arrive in St. George's District. That's all, it's because of a short cut!
Walking ashore from the Tussock River, Abner helped the thousand-pound hat on his head, turning off its extraordinary ability. After checking his belongings again, he couldn't help but think of a joke he saw in the newspaper:
"A gentleman who just arrived in Backlund lost his way in the thick smog, so he had to ask the wet gentleman who passed by him, and asked him 'how to get to the Tussock River', that gentleman Very kindly replied: 'Go straight, don't stop, I just swam up from there.'
"Although I'm not a swimmer, and I'm not wet, I've just come up!" Abner smiled self-deprecatingly, and then walked straight to the address Jane gave.
No. 16 Chapel Street is an independent house with a small garden. The rent is about 2 pounds per week. Mr. Grant is really not bad at renting such a house to hide his backhand!
Looking at the target house from a distance, Abner complained a few words in his heart, but he didn't rush in.
He cautiously walked around the house a few times, then opened his pure white eyes to observe many details, and performed a "scene backtracking" again. He dug out the key from under the flower pot, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Abner, who had already activated his spirit vision, saw a hideous-looking terrifying ghost, which sensed his breath, and rushed towards him quickly. Abner had expected this for a long time, and while reciting "unsheath" in ancient Hermes, he transformed the cane sword into the posture of a long sword, and at the same time retreated calmly outside the door at the speed blessed by the cane sword.
But the ghost only jumped a few steps away from the door, and was bound by some force, unable to move forward.
"Sure enough, there are guards arranged, and the person who enters is identified by breath? If Jane came over, she should not be attacked. Well, an earthbound spirit of unknown species is just a living target." Quickly evaluate in my heart After a while, Abner adjusted his hat, and several wind blades appeared out of thin air, instantly drawing several obvious scars on the ghost.
The ghost's intelligence was not very high. After being really hurt, it immediately became furious and scratched at Abner indiscriminately. Unfortunately, it was bound in the house and couldn't get close at all.
"After all, the wind blade is not a pure energy attack. It can hurt it, but its power is greatly reduced... To deal with ghosts and the like, the teacher's sun brooch is better!" After sighing, Ai Buna released a few 'wind ropes' from his hat to restrain the ghost, then raised his sword and cut the ghost in half with a horizontal slash!
This 'cane sword' possesses part of the ability of the 'Twilight Giant' pathway sequence 8. Besides boosting physical fitness, it can also help the holder weaken some extraordinary effects of opponents, such as the 'physical immunity' of ghosts.
"After all, it's just a weak ghost that can even be driven by Sequence 9!" Abner checked carefully, and after confirming that the ghost was indeed killed, he turned the long sword back into a walking stick, and then followed the note on the note. Hint, found the entrance to the basement.
The basement area is not large, only about a dozen square meters, and there is nothing else in it except a box.
Abner carefully opened the box, and while confirming that there was no problem, he also counted and evaluated the contents inside.
"500 gold pounds in cash, gemstones and jewelry worth about 300 gold pounds, potion formulas for Sequence 9 'Corpse Collector' and Sequence 8 'Gravedigger', and a fake identity document for 'Bayam'... ...This can be counted as a treasure!"
See what Mr. Grant left behind. Abner was a little surprised, and couldn't help thinking about where the other party got so much property. That Mr. Blaine gave it? But what did he do to make that demigod so generous?
After pondering for a long time and still not having any idea, Abner secretly mocked himself for committing another occupational disease, and put the contents of the box into the bag he had prepared earlier.
After finishing these ~IndoMTL.com~ After carefully cleaning up the traces left by him, Abner quickly returned to Jane's temporary residence in the bridge area, and handed over all the things to Jane.
"Jane, when will you leave Backlund?" Abner looked at the girl who had already put away all her belongings, and asked with concern.
"I'm afraid I have to leave this afternoon...Mr. Maric said that he didn't know if the authorities would use some extraordinary means to find my whereabouts. The sooner I leave, the safer it will be. Moreover, I also want to become stronger as soon as possible!" Jane said silently Said for a while.
"That's true!" Abner felt that it was a pity that the punisher was investigating this matter. If the mechanical heart was replaced, if he was determined to ask the dog mirror, he might have to be exposed.
Of course, if the mechanical heart is replaced, the teacher will be able to speak.
"We...will we never see each other again?" At this time, Jane's cold face showed a look of the past.
"No, I will go to Enmat Port to see you!" Abner comforted her with a smile.
……
In the afternoon, Abner did not personally send Jane away from Backlund, after all, that would be of no benefit to him or Jane. Although Jane as a friend temporarily stayed away from him, since the other party has found a goal and is willing to work hard for it, there is nothing else he can do except bless him.
Therefore, Abner quickly calmed down, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work and learning tasks given by the teacher, as well as the analysis of '2-081'.
Ten days later, because Abner helped the teacher successfully complete some commissions such as losing cats and finding dogs, finding objects and catching rapes, he gradually gained a bit of reputation in the nearby neighborhoods.
This day, Monday, June 25. A charming and beautiful woman walks into the office of Detective Isengard Stanton.
