Start with the Readers Chapter 9: Curse

In the early morning of Friday, when the first ray of sunlight pierced through the terrible smog over Backlund, and then managed to shine through the window into a house near the Bar of the Brave, Abner finally woke up from his coma. Coming over, he skillfully took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and sighed: "Sure enough, it's still six hours."

Although the price is not light, but his gains are quite rich. Last night, the Pure White Eye was opened twice, and for the first time successfully analyzed a supplementary material of Sequence 8 'reasoning student' from the Extraordinary characteristics. Although the second time was short, he memorized hundreds of ancient Fusac words in the learning materials, which is not inefficient!

More importantly, Abner discovered that reading and studying books with the pure white eyes open can greatly promote the digestion of the "reader" potion. In just a few seconds last night, he The appearance of the potion's power overflowing unconsciously has been completely restrained.

"From the name, you know that the role of the reader is to read more books and broaden your knowledge. Its connotation should be to understand the laws of nature, humanities, and even the extraordinary through reading, and to achieve omnipotence through omniscience! Of course Well, a mere Sequence Nine is impossible to achieve the level of omniscience, but the nature of this sequence's performance should be like this. The follow-up reasoning students, knowledge keepers, and polymaths are actually the analysis, analysis, and analysis of all kinds of knowledge they have learned. Imitation and so on... And my pure white eyes obviously fit this theme very well during the application process, so it's no wonder that it can promote the digestion of potions."

"At this rate, as long as I insist on reading and learning all kinds of knowledge with my pure white eyes every day, maybe I can digest the 'reader' in half a month? Maybe I can reach Sequence 8 before the Fool comes. ?”

Just as Abner was daydreaming about the future, there was a knock on the door outside.

"It should be Kaspers." Abner looked at his pocket watch again and made a judgment in his heart.

So he stood up, removed the spiritual wall, then walked out of the entrance, and opened the door carefully.

Surprisingly, there was no one outside the door. Abner was stunned for a moment, then blinked, the white in his eyes flashed away, and finally looked far ahead. Caspers was seen on the road in the courtyard. He couldn't help being dumbfounded, and laughed at himself: "As for being so exaggerated? Am I not good?"

On the other hand, Kaspers watched Abner from outside the courtyard for a long time before he staggered to the door of the house and said expressionlessly: "I have seen someone open the door unsuspectingly. , was swallowed by the monster that the Extraordinary inside the door lost control of!"

Abner's expression froze, and before he could say anything to ease the atmosphere, the other party directly handed over a gun bag.

"This is the revolver you wanted, and it will cost you 3 pounds!" Caspers said succinctly while holding the bag.

Abner's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly counted out the three-pound bills from his wallet and handed them over, then took the gun bag and took out the contents on the spot.

What came into my eyes was a silver-white revolver with a long barrel, and its handle was made of walnut.

In addition, there are fifty yellow bullets neatly placed in the box.

Abner tried emptying the gun, then loaded five bullets, put the revolver back into the gun pouch and hung it on the underarm of the inside of his coat, and put the rest of the bullets in another pocket next to his body inside.

Kaspers verified the authenticity of the banknotes against the sun, and then said: "Our transaction is completed. If you have anything to do in the future, you can find me at the Brave Bar."

Abner nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Thank you very much this time. If you have any troubles in the future, you can also ask me for help. You know, I am already a Extraordinary."

Kaspers sneered, and said: "Little guy, don't be too confident. Extraordinary people are also flesh and blood. Don't just rely on some abilities to be brave."

Abner could tell that he was actually admonishing him with good intentions, so he didn't feel annoyed, and just kept his promise in his heart.

After the two talked for a while, Abner took the lead to say goodbye to the other party. He had a lot of things to do today, so he didn't have time to delay.

After Abner walked away, a figure emerged from the void. It was a mature man with short tan hair, wearing a white shirt and a brown vest. As soon as he appeared, he smiled at Kaspers: "It seems that I have not come in handy, you little friend is still very stable."

Caspers shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that he will get into more trouble by relying too much on his abilities..."

The man straightened his expression when he heard the words, and said, "Kaspers, don't underestimate that kid, although I don't know which path he is in, but he should have discovered me just now. Already!"

"Really? Zreal, are you sure?" Kaspers was obviously surprised.

"Don't underestimate the observation and judgment of a detective, Kaspers. Although I am not a detective of the reader's path, I can still feel his obvious nervousness and vigilance through the vision. "Zreal looked at his watch at this point, and continued, "Okay, I have seen this little guy here, and I am going to prepare breakfast for the little guys in my family."

"Zreal, do you still keep those waifs?" Kaspers asked sideways.

"They are my good assistants as detectives, aren't they?" Zreal replied with a smile.

Kaspers frowned, didn't say anything more, and watched Zreal's body slowly disappear.

……

On the other side, Abner, who had returned to the East District, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He subconsciously opened his pure white eyes for a second when he opened the door before, and then saw a figure hidden beside Kaspers. He was really taken aback at the time, but fortunately, he soon realized that the hidden Extraordinary should not have malicious intentions, but came to help Kaspers deal with possible out-of-control incidents. He was on guard secretly while completing the deal with Kaspers.

"So far, my pure white eyes don't have spiritual vision, and I can't see spirits for the time being, so that person shouldn't be in a spirit state... So it's... the trick of a magician? Creating hallucinations? The mental interference of scammers? Only these three companies are good at this at low-sequence. Well, the principle of these abilities should be to influence people through the spirit. In other words, my pure white eyes still have resistance Or see through the effect of spiritual spells? Hey, there is too little information, and it is not yet certain."

While thinking about his thoughts, Abner walked into the restaurant he would visit every day since time travel. He looked around, but didn't find Xio's figure.

The lady's investigation should still be going on... This thought crossed his mind, but Abner didn't care. But he only inherited the memory of the original body, but he didn't have the feelings of the other party, and the feeling was not deep, so he was not in a hurry, he just waited for the scene to make that person pay the price.

After breakfast, Abner put the study materials back home, and then came to the nearby subway entrance.

Backlund's subway was born twenty-five years ago. It first connected the two banks of the Tussock River, and now it has expanded to several major urban areas. Of course, there are not many stations.

Because the riverside street in St. George's district that Abner is going to is too remote, and the carriage takes too long, the subway is more convenient.

Coming to the underground, Abner looked at the price wooden sign near the ticket window:

"Peak hours (from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm) every 10 minutes, and in the remaining 15 minutes, the first-class seat is 6 pence, the second-class seat is 4 pence, and the third-class seat is 3 pence. 9, 6, 5 pence, the annual ticket is 8 pounds for the first class seat, 5 pounds 10 soli for the second class seat, and there is no annual pass for the third class seat.”

The price is not bad, even if I take it to practice guns every day, I can afford it.

While this thought was in his mind, Abner took out 4 copper pennies, handed them to the conductor, and bought a second-class ticket.

Arriving at the platform leading to St. George's No. 4 station, he didn't have to wait long before he heard the siren sound like thunder, and saw a huge steam locomotive breaking through with a sense of majestic power. The gas lamps on both sides stopped shining.

Its huge shape, winding body, black iron color and complicated machinery are mixed together, giving it a unique aesthetic feeling.

"This really has the meaning of steampunk!" Abner couldn't help whistling, and at the same time complained in his heart about Squid's trickery in the introduction of "Lord of the Mysteries" , although he also knows that the steampunk in this novel is just a background embellishment and cannot be delved into, but now that he is involved in it, he finally feels the power of steam and machinery!

Not long after getting on the train, the steam subway started running from slow to fast amidst the bang bang bang bang bang noise. Ten minutes later, it began to gradually decelerate again and slowly stopped at the scheduled platform.

Since Abner hadn't reached his destination yet, he sat in his seat and waited for it to start up again. At this moment, following a burst of powerful footsteps, a petite girl with disheveled hair entered the carriage. This was Hugh Dilcha, the future Miss Judgment of the Tarot Society.

"Hugh?" Abner said in surprise, but he was thinking in his heart: Could he be too predestined with this young lady? It has been less than four days since he traveled here, but he met her for three days.

Hugh obviously saw Abner at this time, so he went straight to the empty seat beside him and sat down, and said hello, "Good morning, Abner. What a coincidence, where are you going?"

"Good morning, Miss Hugh. I'm planning to practice marksmanship at the shooting club on Strand Street~IndoMTL.com~ Abner replied honestly without thinking about it.

"He'an Street...is it the shooting club at 33 He'an Street?" Huo suddenly paused before asking in a complicated tone.

"That's right! Miss Hugh, how do you know? Have you been there?" Just as Abner was about to say this question, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Hugh's expression. Feeling nostalgia, confusion, unwillingness and other different emotions, and fell into it.

He couldn't help being startled, and thought: Even if it was possible that Xio was touched by his own words, as the 'arbitrator' of Sequence Nine, how could she lose her composure in front of someone I don't know very well? ? This is very wrong!

With this in mind, Abner immediately opened the 'Pure White Eye', and then saw a strange black line on Xio's forehead!

"It turned out to be my father's property. I used to play there when I was a child..." Xio didn't seem to be aware of his problem, and was still muttering about some things in the past.

But after she unconsciously turned her head and looked at Abner's pure white pupils, she trembled suddenly, and she was completely awake.

"Hugh, listen to me, you should sort out your emotions first, and let go of your thoughts! You should be cursed, and this curse may be using your extreme emotions!" Rubbing his dizzy head, he continued, "Let's get out of the car now and find a safe place to talk."

While speaking, he held Xio with one hand, reached into the gun bag and grabbed the handle of the revolver with the other, and then strode towards the platform before the train started.

As a wild Extraordinary, although Xio lacks mystic knowledge, he has a lot of experience. He didn't hesitate at this moment, and trotted to keep up with Abner.
