Queens, inside the luxury villa of the Earl of Hall.

It was supposed to be time to practice the piano, but Audrey was still sitting at the dresser, thinking about how she would look through and remember Russell's diary in the evening.

Suddenly, there was a haze around her, and an endless gray mist poured out.

In the center of the gray mist, the figure of the "Fool" stood high, who was listening to the prayer of a man who was so blurred that he could not see clearly:

“...... Pray for some help;"

"Pray, someone will help me get my hands on that bookmark in Russell's creative manuscript;"

......

How did Mr. "Fool" know that I was going to visit the Russell Memorial Exhibition after closing today and have the opportunity to touch something...... Audrey listened in amazement, although she was surprised, but she didn't feel strange:

With the personality and ability of Mr. "Fool", it is still easy to master such a small matter!

As for how to grasp it, there is no need for ordinary sequencers to understand.

Audrey was about to respond, when she heard the "fool" speak in a low and flat voice:

"You can choose to accept the commission, or not to accept it. ”

Forehead...... Audrey muttered for two seconds and said:

"Dear Mr. 'Fool', I can give it a try, but success is not guaranteed. ”

She wasn't too interested in the minimum pay, which was only £500, and the reason why she accepted the assignment was because she was curious about what was so special about the bookmark left by Russell the Great that it made Mr. Fool's family so important that they offered an uncapped price.

Anyway, I was going to look through Russell's diary today, and I happened to ...... Audrey thought to herself.

Klein, the "fool" in the gray mist, bowed his head lightly and replied with one word:

"Good. ”

When the illusion was gone, Audrey turned her gaze to the vanity mirror, seemingly seriously examining herself.

She was nervous and excited, and she began to plan for the evening's action:

"The anomaly cannot be detected. ”

"If Mr. Fool's family does anything afterwards, I can't be the focus of suspicion. ”

"It's definitely not okay to just touch that bookmark, and once you lose it, all eyes will be on me. ”

"Hmm...... So, I had to show the same interest and gesture in all the objects, not to let others see that my main purpose was the bookmark, and the whole process had to be soft, unobtrusive, logical and logical. ”

"How do you do small, inconspicuous damage?"

"That's just a bookmark......"

Audrey's gaze swept unfocused over the same objects on the dresser, and suddenly fixed on the open jewelry box, on a pair of jeweled stud earrings decorated with thin pins.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and she said to herself:

"With Susie's help, it should be enough......"

............

At six o'clock in the evening, Beckland, where it was difficult to see the sun in the current season, was already dim, and the gas street lamps were turned on one after another.

The Kingdom Museum sent away the last ordinary visitors, but welcomed a group of visitors made up of ladies from the earl's family, children from the duke's family, young viscounts, and other noble people.

Knowing that some of the children of the nobility were often in trouble, Max Levimore, the leader of the "Mechanical Heart" West Side team responsible for guarding the commemorative exhibition, had to disguise himself as a security guard and always follow him to guard against accidents.

He wore neatly combed back hair, wore monocles, and looked like a university professor.

The monocle was actually a seal, codenamed "3-1328", nicknamed "Crystal Eye", through which Max Levimore could directly see spirits, ghosts, and shadows, and no longer fear that the extraordinary would drive these normally undiscoverable things to cause trouble or theft.

Of course, this seal also has a significant disadvantage, that is, it is easy to attract monsters such as the ghost of the ghost to the vicinity, and if you wear it for a long time, your eyesight will be irreversibly reduced.

"In the gloom of Beckland, she is like the bright sun...... Max was looking admiringly at the blonde girl on the side.

Audrey looked at the toilet bowl inlaid with gold leaf and carved with intricate patterns with great interest, and asked the docent next to her:

"This is the first flush toilet in the modern sense?"

"Yes, I personally think that this is one of Russell's outstanding contributions to human civilization, and it and its accompanying sewer works have changed the phenomenon of Trier's streets, oh, streets full of filthy things. The narrator wanted to say the word "feces", but when he looked at the girl in front of him, he felt that he couldn't lose his elegant posture.

Audrey pondered and asked:

"Can I touch it?"

"Does it still work?"

Viscount Glerint smiled beside him:

"Why are you so curious about this? No matter how old it is, it's always just a flush toilet. ”

The rest of the noble children who had a good relationship with them laughed out loud.

"No, Glerint, you don't understand, this is the glory of human civilization. Audrey responded with a light smile, making a vomit expression in her heart.

If it weren't for the commission of Mr. Fool, I wouldn't want to do this...... She sighed helplessly.

The narrator chimed in:

"Miss Hall said very well that the brilliance of human civilization is not only reflected in the weapons that have changed the form of warfare, such as cannons and muskets, but also in every detail of our lives. ”

"Dear Miss, I don't know if it will work properly, because no one will use it. ”

The narrator glanced at Max Levimore as he spoke, and after receiving an affirmative bow, he continued:

"You can touch it and even open the tank to see the mechanics inside, but be careful. ”

"Thank you. Audrey watched as the security guards opened the glass wall, took two steps forward, stretched out her right palm wearing a white tulle glove, and carefully touched the drain button.

Then, she stepped back slowly, and smiled:

"Alright, so be it, I satisfy my curiosity and can't hurt it anymore. ”

She always remembers that her character this time is, an innocent and curious girl.

After reading this, they entered the exhibition hall where Russell's diary was located.

After the introduction of the half-circle, Audrey asked again:

"Can I take a look at this notebook? We're all interested in this strange symbol. ”

"Uh...... I've heard that paper that is more than a certain age old can be damaged even if it comes into contact with the air, let alone directly with it, right?"

She blinked, letting her beautiful eyes like jewels show sincerity, longing, and a slight sense of loss.

The narrator glanced at Max Levy Moore again, and waited until the other party replied before smiling:

"The Church has a special preservation method so that the paper can be produced as it was a few years ago, and even if there is no such method, we will do our best to meet your requests, but it may be necessary to change the environment and change the clothes, and go through a more rigorous process. ”

"You can flip it, but not too long, not too hard. ”

Audrey's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

After thanking her sincerely, she, along with Viscount Gleilint and other occult enthusiasts, opened the glass cover and carefully flipped through the notebook.

Audrey struggled to memorize, but because the symbols were so complex, she was limited in a short period of time.

"That's almost two pages in total, I don't know if there's a way to print one......" Her thoughts drifted and she gave up her place to her companions on the periphery.

In this way, she made a request to take a closer look at something in each of the exhibition halls, and it was basically satisfied.

Stopping and stopping, they came to the restored study.

Audrey remained in her previous state, asking a few questions from time to time, fully demonstrating her curiosity.

When the narrator introduced the "creative manuscript", her eyes lit up:

"Can I flip through it? I want to see what the great inventor Russell's manuscript looks like and what ideas it contains. ”

"No problem, beautiful Miss Hall, honorable Viscount Glerint, you may all flip through it, and if any of you is a devout member of the Church, you may even apply for a rubbing. The narrator replied based on Max's hints.

As a believer in the goddess, Audrey could only respond with a light smile, and it was inconvenient for her to speak.

At the same time, she pretended to flirt with her hair, reached out and touched her right ear, and quietly removed the stud.

Immediately after, the glass that shrouded the desk was opened, and Audrey stepped forward, held down the manuscript, pretended to be inadvertently pulling out the bookmark, and flipped a page at random.

At this moment, Susie, who had received her hint, suddenly called out in another direction:

"Wow, Wow, Wow!"

Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to it, and Audrey lowered her arm, stabbed the bookmark in her hand with the stud in her palm, and silently recited the phrase "Pirate King" in her heart, once in Hermes, again in Ancient Hermes.

The sharp, pin-like decoration touched the surface of the bookmark, and as soon as it was about to penetrate deep and penetrate to the other side, Audrey immediately felt a strong and illusory resistance.

Abnormal resistance!

This resistance disappeared in a flash, and the "thin needle" poked a small mark, almost piercing it.

"It's really reactive! It's really weird!" Audrey's eyes lit up, and she didn't dare to try again, but raised her hand and put the bookmark on the table.

Then she looked at Susie and calmly instructed her maid Anne:

"Hmm...... You take it to the bathroom. ”

"Yes, miss. Anne hurriedly led Susie out of the room.

While!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audrey threw the earrings in her hand to the ground, and then turned her head and said:

"I'm sorry, my stud fell off. ”

The other maids hurriedly approached, picked up the studs, and helped her put them on.

The episode was fleeting, and everyone's attention returned to the manuscript, and when they had roughly flipped through it, "Security Officer" Max Levimore hurriedly clipped the bookmark in and closed the glass cover again.

In the next few rooms, Audrey was still interested, as before, and did not show anything out of the ordinary.

It wasn't until she left the museum and returned home that she found an opportunity to recite the honorific name of the "Fool" and report the outcome of the matter:

“...... I did as your dependents requested, and damaged the bookmark a little. ”

"It's, it's having abnormal reactions. ”
