Abner was generally quite satisfied with the mask, and although it was not needed for the time being, the importance of this thing would be evident in the future if there was a need for a vest.

As for the characteristics of "alive" and other side effects, not to mention whether it dares to rebel if it is suppressed by a high level, and when I become a sequence six, I can completely analyze the transformation ability of this low-level "faceling", although the effect simulated by that time is probably the low-level of the low-level, but it is better to use than this ill-intentioned seal.

With this in mind, Abner took the "clown mask", which did not seem to require a special sealing method, and put it into the bag that the priest had prepared for him in advance.

"If you like it, I still have an extraordinary item for you to choose from, but unfortunately it was stolen last night." Seeing that Abner was satisfied with the thanksgiving gift, Bishop Utravsky bowed his head slightly, said casually, and then turned and walked to the "emblem of life" of Mother Earth Goddess.

He stretched out his arms and chanted in a low voice:

"Thank you, the source of life!"

"Praise be to you, Mother of all things!"

Abner didn't know what to say, because he wasn't sure if his previous encounter with the priest was a coincidence or arranged by Lilith.

Or maybe both.

On the subway on the way back, Abner rubbed the mask in the bag with his hand, while recalling the details of the church just now, and thought:

"In the novel, after Klein helps Father Utrafsky solve his mental problems once and for all, the priest offers him a choice between a 'master key' and another seal composed of a 'needle' and a 'container'."

"The 'master key' should not be in the priest's possession at this time, because Emlyn had left it when he got lost there in late August or early September. Not to mention that Emlyn is still obsessed with figurines, even the young man of the Abraham family, who was the predecessor of the 'Master Key', may not be dead. ”

"But the seal composed of 'needles' and 'containers' has not been seen at this time, so it has not yet fallen into the hands of Father Utravsky? Or is that what the priest said was stolen last night? ”

"I guessed that the ambush on the priest was the work of a witch, so can I guess that there was a witch fighting that extraordinary object?"

"The function of the seal composed of 'needles' and 'containers' in my memory is to first draw out a tube of my own blood, wait until the critical moment, and then infuse it back, so that I can eliminate fatigue, reduce diseases and injuries, and improve strength, speed, balance and other qualities in a short time."

"Ability to heal ancillary classes...... Does this serve the witch any good? ”

Until he returned to Detective Isenger's office, Abner's thinking did not make any progress, so he had to put it on hold.

Looking at the time, he saw that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not far from the evening ball, so he decided to relax his brain and start editing the 'fake diary' that he was going to give to Mr. Fool at the tarot meeting tomorrow.

"First of all, write a page of lace news...... Well, without going into too much detail, it's enough to feel that a certain lady is very enthusiastic, and it is impossible for Mr. Fool to go out of his way to check whether that lady is really enthusiastic...... Even if you want to check, you have to wait for him to become an 'ancient scholar'. ”

"Secondly, in the words of Russell the Great, the story of the 'Nightmare Dragon' who likes to weave real nightmares in reality...... This knowledge will flow out of his mouth soon after the 'sun' joins, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to move out a little earlier...... Well, to be on the safe side, it is not clear that the name of the 'Nightmare Dragon' is Alsukhod...... No, it's better not to even mention the 'Nightmare Dragon', but only the son of the Dragon King. Hey, hopefully this will give Klein a little more insight into his situation. ”

"Finally, do you want to talk about the 'Godforsaken land'? If the plot doesn't change, it's time for Alger to ask the question about Godforsaken at tomorrow's tarot meeting, should you help Mr. Fool prepare the answer first? ”

"Forget it...... A three-page diary provided at once, it would be too strange if both pages had important content. And it's very likely that Alger will ask me directly this time...... So on the third page, let's write down the story of what I saw in the library before, the emperor went to the Southern Continent and the descendants of the royal family of the Bailang Empire once and left heirs. I don't know what would have happened if Klein had taken this and asked Mr. Azik...... Well, it should be fine, the royal descendants of the Bailang Empire are most likely not from Mr. Azik's. ”

After scribbling and writing three pages of his diary in Chinese, Abner diligently transcribed them in enlarged strokes and wrote them down. For a person who 'reads' sequences, memorizing this thing is really not a challenge.

After doing all this, Abner burned all the paper points, and then looked at his pocket watch again, and saw that it was almost six o'clock. Although the ball was organized by the teacher, he, as the actual protagonist, could not arrive too late.

……

At around 7 p.m., Abner followed the teacher's side in neat clothes and waited in the foyer of the public ballroom to greet the ballmates.

There are a lot of detectives here, most of whom Abner has never seen, but there are also a few names that are quite familiar, all of them are characters mentioned in the original book, such as Detective Stuart, such as Detective Kaslana, such as Detective Zerell who was eaten by rats when he appeared.

He always felt a little familiar with the last Fursack spy, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He didn't think much of it, though, for soon he saw a familiar face walk in.

Sheriff Fassin!

The chief of the Joe Wood District Police Department walked through the main entrance with his wife, who was carefully guarding his inconspicuous belly.

So careful...... Pregnant woman? Abner was stunned for a moment, and thought: Does this mean that the tuba practice has been wasted, and he plans to open a trumpet again?

As a polite gentleman, Abner certainly wouldn't stare at other people's wives, and by this time Detective Issinger had already greeted him and said:

"Good evening, Sergeant. Hehe, madam, you are still shining today. ”

Sergeant Fasin first greeted him briefly, and then escorted his wife to find a seat and sit down, then turned around and handed over the gift and smiled politely:

"I'm sorry, my wife is pregnant, and it's less than a month, and it's more dangerous."

"Looks like you're going to be a dad again, congratulations." Detective Issinger took the other party's gift and asked, "Yet, Edith?" ”

"I had received a letter from a relative in the port of Nmatt saying that he had made a name for himself at sea...... Hey, I don't know if he'll be able to come back and see his brother or sister's birth......" Sheriff Fasin sighed.

Abner listened to the heart, and wanted to tell them about Edith's experience, but after thinking about it, he felt that it didn't make any sense, and it made Sheriff Fasin worry for no reason, so he had to give up.

After a few more pleasantries, Detective Isenger handed the gift to the manservant and asked him to put it in the prepared lounge.

It didn't take long for him to wait, but with the arrival of Sergeant Eli, Inspector Vane and other police officers, another relatively familiar guest walked into Abner's sight. It was Sheriff Fiona Ravenwood and her daughter on the North Side.

- Due to the relationship between the Church of the Night Goddess, there are a large number of female police officers in the Rune police system, but due to the influence of other beliefs, social trends and other aspects, they are still discriminated against to a certain extent in terms of promotion and position, most of them are mainly internal clerks, and there is also an invisible ceiling in the upward space.

And Abner is familiar with them because the daughter of this handsome sheriff is none other than his school classmate Susan, the girl with freckles on her face he met outside Grant's clothing store after Jane's family accident. Before Abner crossed over, she used her pocket money to fund the original owner like Jane, so that the original owner did not live on the streets.

Seeing the familiar senior, Susan, a little girl who had just turned 17, was naturally very happy, and stepped forward and said: "Abner, I saw the report about you in the "Daily Observer", but I didn't expect you to become a detective in such a short time. Roman and Custer couldn't believe it when they saw it! ”

Abner also smiled when he heard this, took out the basic information of the two people from his memory, and asked casually, "How are they now?" What are you busy with? ”

"Karst graduated like you, but he was admitted to the Hoy University in Tingen."

"And Roman joined the club of Mr. Kapsti, and every day is mysterious, I don't know what I'm busy with!"
