Start with the Readers Chapter 697: Theatre
Seeing the subtle look in Xio's eyes, Abner gave a dry cough and explained: "The main body of this dress, I used the white robe left by Panatia, which was made by the 'Witch of Despair' It is made of 'spider silk'. It is very tough, even a small-caliber high-pressure steam rifle cannot penetrate it...
"With these advantages, some small defects in appearance are not a problem."
Hugh was silent for a moment, looked at Abner with an inexplicable expression, then silently picked up the white robe, turned and entered the bedroom inside...
Is this satisfactory, or unsatisfactory? Speaking of which, if Xio deliberately hides his mind, he can even hide it from "mind reading"... It should be interfered with by using extraordinary spiritual abilities... Was this tempered in front of Miss "Justice"?
As soon as Abner thought of this, he heard the sound of the bedroom door opening. He looked in the direction of the situation, and then saw "Audrey" wearing a complicated skirt and gown, walking out from inside.
——Abner met Audrey once at the ball held by Duke Negan, so he recognized her appearance.
"Hugh? Well, I have to say, they have become very similar, even the temperament is very similar." Abner looked at them with "appreciative" eyes and praised.
Hugh gave him a blank look, then looked at the full-length mirror in the living room, and said with a little frustration: "The legs are still not as long as Miss Audrey... and the height can only be raised to 1.62 meters..."
Actually, as a "Faceless Man" item, it is already excellent... Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he changed the subject: "Have you tested other abilities?"
Hearing this, Xio turned around, her appearance had changed back to her original appearance, but her figure still kept the "template" of "Audrey".
"The negative effect of 'fear of flames' is more serious than what you said. It will not only become a weakness, but also make me unable to maintain the ability of 'faceless man' when I am 'burned' by fire, showing my original appearance face.
"'Injury transfer' is consistent with the corresponding ability of the 'magician' I learned from MI9. As long as you don't die directly and your hands can still move, you can transfer wounds in vital locations to less important places such as arms. , turning fatal injuries into minor injuries.
"The two abilities of 'flame control' and 'flame jump' are not very easy to use because of the weakness of fear of fire... After all, a little burn is likely to make the camouflage invalid.
"But generally speaking, except for the shameful style, it is a very good item... But if you take it to the Tarot Society to sell it, I am afraid that Mr. 'Tower''s image of knowledge and wisdom will be It will collapse in front of 'justice', 'temperance' and Forsi."
Xiu organized the language and analyzed it solemnly.
"Didn't you 'reserve' this? Naturally, I won't sell it on the 'Tarot Club' again." Abner brushed off Hugh's teasing words, and asked in a slightly ambiguous tone Said, "Speaking of which, what are you going to use to pay for this item?"
As he said that, he deliberately looked at Xio's "new figure" with malicious eyes.
He intended to make Xio feel shy and take the opportunity to regain the initiative of the topic, but whoever thought that Xio picked up a stack of documents from the side table without changing his expression, handed it to Abner and said: " The price of the 'Hundred Face Silk Clothes' should be between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds...these are roughly equivalent."
"'Hundred-looking silk clothes'?" Abner subconsciously repeated the term, and took over the documents.
"This is the name I just gave it." Xio replied briefly, then pointed to the document in Abner's hand and said, "This is the reward I got in the smog incident. The property...it originally belonged to Prince Edsack."
"Is it the Edsac property?" Abner flipped through the documents and found that the property was a stage play theater located in the Hillston district... However, it has long been abandoned due to poor management. It can be said that it is the lowest value among the many industries in Edsac.
But even without the added value of the theater, due to the good location, the value of the real estate alone is definitely around 4,000 pounds based on its area.
I was worried that my "film and television company" would not have theaters... Isn't that what happened?
Abner's heart moved, and he looked at Xio's attire pretending to be regretful, and then put the real estate documents into the card.
Hugh didn't panic at all, she already knew that Abner was joking... There was even a bit of inexplicable regret hidden in it.
After this topic came to an end, Abner took the opportunity to mention the matter of Fanny's grandfather. Xio frowned after hearing this, and said after thinking: "I haven't received any news about this matter. I'll look for it later. The informant is inquiring, and there should be preliminary results in the evening... I will go to your place at that time... Well, let Mrs. Scudder prepare an extra dinner for me."
…
West District, Mr. Surrey's villa.
With the help of Leonard several times, the members of the Nighthawks team finally deciphered the fully activated ceremony of opening the villa. The bodies of members of the elite squad of the Rice family.
"There is no trace of battle, these two died by taking poison themselves.
"One of them was a 'Deciphering Scholar' of Sequence 7, and the other was an 'Instigator' of Sequence 8... They didn't carry any items that could identify them...It's very likely that they were dead soldiers...But neither The possibility of the murderer deliberately falsifying the scene is ruled out.
"They should have encountered a force far beyond their level, and they were restrained in an instant."
After listening to his subordinates' report, Captain Soest looked at Ms. Daly, who was a little absent-minded, and asked in a raised voice: "Daily, did you find anything?"
Daily came back to her senses after hearing the words, but shook her head and said: "We came late, their spirits have dissipated long ago, and we can only see the power of 'notarization' remaining."
After listening to her words, Soster gave Da Li a weird look~IndoMTL.com~ and felt that she was very abnormal today.
"It stands to reason... sayings such as 'they have already been hollowed out, leaving only the white residue of the notary' is Daly's normal style, right? I am a little uncomfortable with her serious explanation ..." Soest muttered a few words in his heart, but on the surface he said thoughtfully:
"The owner of this house, Mr. Surrey, believes in the **** of steam and machinery... He was assassinated by followers of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun', and then killed the other party?
"Is this a political strife within Intis?"
The other red glove who was in charge of the autopsy before nodded and said: "It's probably like this...Captain, what should we do?"
Thoust thought about it, and felt that although this case happened in the West District, it was really not suitable for Nighthawks to handle, so he ordered someone to notify the embassy and "Mechanical Heart", and shared the preliminary investigation results with the latter.
While he was arranging the tasks, Ms. Dali recalled the picture that appeared in her mind just now, her face flushed suddenly, and she couldn't help murmuring:
"If you want to meet me, why don't you meet me directly, and secretly take pictures... You are as gutless as ever!"
Then she thought of the tall and mysterious figure behind the mist before the picture was formed, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "O fool!"
At the same time, Pallez's old voice sounded in Leonard's ear:
"I sensed the aura of 'Sunstrider'...
"He seems to be an acquaintance of mine!
"I remember that he died in the chaotic years after the War of the Four Emperors..."
