Chapter 31: Jane's Choice

Hearing this, Detective Isenger narrowed his eyes and looked at Abner, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I don't care why you want to borrow '2-081', I just want to warn you that no matter what you do in this world, you must be gradual, you can't be impatient, you can't be blind, otherwise it will only backfire." ”

Abner was very touched by the teacher's loving but inquisitive attitude, he straightened his face and nodded seriously: "I understand, thank you for your advice, teacher." ”

"My otherworldly items are kept in the pantry every night, and I allow you to go in for an hour at ten o'clock every night! For now, let's start with the daily study and data sorting work. With that, Detective Issinger walked back to his office.

Abner secretly clenched his fists, feeling that he was one step closer to Sequence 7!

……

Near the Bar of the Brave, in the apartment where Abner used to make Potions Promotion Sequence 9 'Reader', Jane stared blankly at her father's corpse, motionless, like a statue. There were no tears on her face, but it seemed to be more sad than when she cried.

Silent sorrow is far worse than weeping!

At this time, opposite her sat Miss Sharon, who was as delicate as a doll, and Marich, an eerie young man in a white shirt and black vest.

"We've made it clear to you what happened, and Sharon and I are very grateful for your father's sacrifice in exchange for getting us out of trouble! Although he didn't mean to help us......" At this point, Marić frowned and looked at the young girl opposite, who was still unresponsive, raised his voice slightly, and continued, "As for repayment, now I give you two choices. One is that I will give you a large sum of money and arrange for you to change your identity and go to another city to start your life again......"

"What about the other option? Can I have those supernatural powers like you? I want revenge! Before Marić could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jane in a frighteningly cold tone.

"That's exactly what I'm saying...... We'll help you become extraordinary! It also has two options, the first option is that you need to wait a while, and Sharon and I will help you gather the materials and make a 'prisoner' potion. The second is that you directly ingest your father's extraordinary properties and become a 'corpse collector', but this is dangerous because we don't know the auxiliary materials for this potion. Marić said in a calm tone.

"It turned out that my father was a 'corpse collector'...... No wonder he's been going out late lately...... Abner also said he went to volunteer......" Jane muttered, then came back to her senses and said firmly, "I choose my father's path!" I'm going to take this transcendent path in his place! Let him always be by my side! ”

"Have you really figured it out? You must know that the chance of taking the extraordinary properties of Sequence 9 directly is not too high, but it is much more dangerous than the full potion! Marić reminded again.

Jane didn't speak, just looked at him stubbornly.

Miss Sharon then said coldly, "Marić, promise her." There is no problem with such a will. ”

Marić was silent for a moment before nodding, then took out the preparation container, incorporated the extraordinary properties obtained from Mr. Grant with some commonly used harmless ingredients, stirred well, and handed it to Jane.

Jane didn't hesitate, took it and drank it all down!

……

In the evening, Abner was reviewing Detective Issinger's previous commission, when the teacher's servant suddenly walked in and handed him a telegram.

"From the Brave Bar? Caspers's telegram? Let me go to him......" Abner looked at the contents of the paper, pondered for a moment, and then walked out of his room and knocked on the door of the teacher's office.

"Caspers is still trustworthy, and he usually won't be against you......" Detective Issinger obviously knew what he was coming from, and said with a smile.

Abner nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Actually, even if he doesn't send a telegram, I plan to go to him in the near future...... I just didn't expect him to take the initiative...... They shouldn't be able to show up easily. ”

"It seems that you know a little about what happened in that little girl's house......" Detective Issinger was a little surprised at first, and then understood the purpose of Abner's coming to him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I still have some self-preservation, even if they have ideas, they will worry about me reporting!" ”

Abner breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he somewhat guessed who was looking for him, but although Marić, Sharon and others were not bad in the original book, they had to guard against others, and he had to keep some back.

At this time, Detective Isenger thought for a moment and took a hat from his hand and handed it to Abner, and said, "This hat will be lent to you, and it will also allow you to fight back in case of danger." ”

"This is ......" Abner looked at the hat and his heart moved, isn't this one of the seals treasured by the teacher depicted in the original book? The one that is equivalent to the sun brooch that Klein bought?

"It's a hat that can change shape, and by wearing it, you'll be free to move underwater for at least half an hour, and use some water and wind-like spells, but the downside is that you'll crave water, and once you walk on the earth, you'll get weaker and weaker! Of course, just a trip to the bar doesn't have that much of a negative effect. Detective Issinger said with great interest.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Abner thanked him again, put on the hat, which was worth at least £2,000, and took the tube to the Brave's Bar.

……

In the bridge area, Caspars is still the same, he was playing billiards, he looked at Abner who walked into the game room, and said in some surprise: "Your temperament has changed a lot compared to before!" If it weren't for the fact that your appearance hadn't changed, I wouldn't have recognized you......"

Abner sighed, and also said with some emotion: "I have encountered a lot of things recently, and I have grown some ......"

"Well, let's not say that. Someone wants to see you, I'll take you there. Caspars put down his club and limped to the door.

"Who is it? That Mr. Marić? Abner asked, as he followed, as he looked curious.

"How do you think it's him? Heh, he didn't dare to show his face lately! It's a little girl who wants to see you! Caspars laughed.

"Little girl? Could it be Jane? Abner looked surprised, there were only a few girls he had known since the crossing, and Hugh and Firth could not pass by Caspers when they looked for him.

Soon, they came to a familiar building in Abner.

Caspars stepped forward to open the door, gesturing with his finger and motioning for Abner to enter himself.

Abner took a deep breath and stepped into the living room.
