Start with the Readers Chapter 85: The doctor who left home
In the single-family house in the eastern district, Abner, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. He habitually checked whether the wall of spirituality had been touched before he lowered his head and thought:
"My act of giving the 'sacrifice' ritual will definitely arouse Klein's suspicion, and he will probably think that I am testing him."
"But it doesn't matter. After all, I have no intention of hurting him. Instead, I have been helping him. Klein, as long as you have helped him sincerely, he will try his best to repay him. This point, no Just because of doubts, he doesn't do it."
"Hey, speaking of which, I chose to help him within my ability, firstly because he is a character in my favorite novel, and I am willing to give for the help that comes easily; secondly, it is also to build a good relationship with the pillar of the future , leave yourself a way out..."
Thinking of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the ancestor of the Blood Race who seemed to have made plans for him, Abner felt a little overwhelmed. It feels terrible for a "keeper" of the reader's path.
Shaking his head, throwing the messy thoughts out of his mind, Abner took out the box containing the "clown mask" from his bag.
In the teacher's office, there are servants who come in and out, and customers who come in and out from time to time. Abner simply uses the "pure white eyes" to analyze the ability of the "clown mask", and does not actually wear it. Experiment on it.
In case someone happened to see him when he put on a woman's face, it would be hard to explain.
Now that he is in a private house in the East District, he doesn't have that worry, so he can try it with peace of mind.
To be cautious, Abner opened the "Pure White Eye" first, and then picked up the mask and put it on his face.
Immediately, he felt a cool touch on his face, and then a simple idea was conveyed to his mind, urging him to go somewhere and do something.
This idea was not strong at first, but Abner could clearly feel that it would become more and more intense as time went on. If it really dragged on for an hour or two, ordinary Beyonders might not be able to Can withstand its drive.
Even though the pure white eyes suppressed it, it was just to keep it from actually manipulating Abner, but the temptation of thoughts like tarsus maggots always existed and became stronger and stronger.
"Using this mask with the 'mechanical mind' when the 'Pure White Eye' is turned on, you can safely wear it for a few more hours, but the essence is actually not much different... Although this mask has the 'alive ', but the level of intelligence is too far behind the 'Sword of Dawn', and it is not sensitive to the suppression from high-ranking entities."
Abner muttered to himself, then turned his gaze to the half-length mirror on the wall, and then saw a not outstanding, but charming female face.
The reason why she is not outstanding is because her facial features are mediocre. She is not very beautiful, but she is very attractive.
She is very charming because this face has a pair of bright and indifferent eyes, giving people a sense of wisdom and elegance.
Abner looked carefully at the female face he had pretended to be, and nodded secretly. He felt that as long as he put on a little makeup on this basis, he would not be able to see that it was a female face... but he didn't know the predecessor of the mask. What bad things did the master do with this face? If the sufferer recognizes him, wouldn't he be blamed?
After trying the strength, speed, and balance abilities brought by the mask again, Abner took it off quite satisfied, and put it back into the box.

17 Rotans Street, Jorwood. Sergeant Farthing helped his wife get out of the carriage, came to a single-family house with a garden, and knocked on the door.
Soon, a servant opened the door and came out. When he saw Faxin, he immediately revealed guilt and said:
"Sorry, Sergeant Farthing, Dr. Leonardo is not here at the moment."
Sergeant Farthing was taken aback for a moment, then showed displeasure, and said, "I remember I made an appointment for this time slot before."
"I'm sorry, Sheriff. But the doctor didn't return home. Many patients who had appointments yesterday and today couldn't see him." The male servant said helplessly.
Sergeant Farthing frowned, and asked him to ask another question out of professional habits, and said, "Mr. Leonardo is a very punctual gentleman...did he tell you when he would be back before he went out? "
The manservant hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, but he was actually worried about his employer's anomaly and long absence, so he finally replied: "Doctor, he left in a hurry. I bought a carriage with an unfamiliar badge. But he sent a letter back today, saying that I don’t need to worry, he will spend some days outside, and asked me to cancel all the appointments.”
Sheriff Farthing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but still asked with some vigilance: "Are you sure that the letter was written by Dr. Leonardo himself?"
"Yes, Mr. Sheriff. I have followed the doctor for more than ten years, and there is no way for me to mistake his handwriting." The valet assured seriously.
"Okay... Now that's the case, do you know if there is any pregnancy medicine that Dr. Leonardo prepared for my wife before? My wife's pregnancy reaction is very serious, and she is not young. I need the help of that kind of potion." Sergeant Farthing had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
"Yes, the doctor actually prepared it before he left. He also specifically asked me to bring the medicine to you. Well, wait a moment."

Tingen City, Halls Block, Divination Club meeting room.
Because of Angelica's strong recommendation, Klein, who is worth 2 pennies in divination, has a good business today. Several people came to him for "consultation". After drawing the birth chart, the other party was convinced and satisfied.
The other one was looking for items. Klein used Tarot divination combined with dream divination to lock him in a rough range. This surprised him, because he had never seen a fortuneteller who gave such accurate information.
"Maybe I can raise enough money to buy all the spiritual materials for the 'sacrifice' ceremony just by divination for people? Well, I know this is impossible...but next time I will have a Tarot meeting with the 'Tower 'What do you say, sir? Mister Fool can't try it because he doesn't have the materials? " Klein, who gave the tip, put on his hat, took his cane, and walked towards the club door while thinking.
"Or ask Old Neil again, and ask him what reason should be used to reimburse the extra material costs?"
"Speaking of which, the last time the 'Tower' reminded us that secret-seekers are easily polluted by the knowledge instilled by the 'Hidden Sage', I even went to Old Neil's house to check on it in the name of being a guest, and found nothing. Hmm , when I go to consult Old Neil tomorrow, I will find an excuse to make an appointment to come to the door, if there is still no problem, it means that the 'eye' behind Old Neil was just an accident."
At this moment, he saw Ms. Christina, who was asking him for divination before, came in again, accompanied by a young girl wearing a lotus leaf hat~IndoMTL.com~ Christina immediately greeted Klein when she saw her. He lowered his voice and asked:
"Mr. Moretti, you said before that if you have items related to Lanerus, you can try to divine his whereabouts?"
"That's right." Klein nodded.
Christina took a breath and asked in a deep voice:
"Does his child count as a related item?"

In the Essinger Detective Agency in Hillston District, Abner had just had breakfast and was about to go to the police station in the Bridge District to collect the police files when Sergeant Farthing left outside. Come in.
Seeing him, Abner greeted him and said apologetically, "Sheriff, it's unfortunate that you came. The teacher went out early in the morning. It seems that there is a big case that needs his help."
"I know that it should be a scammer who defrauded a large amount of money in other places and is suspected of entering Backlund. The police stations in all districts have received warrants for that person... Because the rewards are very high, many police stations are Hire detectives privately to find out. However, I am not here to find your teacher."
At this point, Sergeant Farthing looked at Abner and said with a smile: "After the dance the day before yesterday, your reputation in the police system has risen rapidly, and everyone regards you as a famous detective in the future. Already."
At this time, Abner had already seen the intention of the sheriff's visit, and thoughtfully said: "So, Sheriff Farthing, why did you entrust me to investigate something today? You didn't use your police status to officially Asking for assistance... So. Is this your private matter?"
"Excellent reasoning, as expected of a future famous detective who has become famous at a young age." Sergeant Farthing applauded, then serious face, solemnly said: "You are right, I would like to invite you Help me investigate the whereabouts of a doctor!"
