By the time Abner walked out of the Daily Observer building, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

Originally, there was nothing to do with him, but I don't know what the "substitute punishers" thought, and they even added to him a "heroic" deed of "wittily investigating the murderer's tricks and defusing the bomb at every opportunity", and even His Royal Highness the Prince took the trouble to express his gratitude to him in public...... Then he was surrounded by enthusiastic reporters from the Daily Observer and came for a special interview......

"What's the use of verbal thanks...... Why not give something affordable? Abner shook his head and muttered to himself. He also understood that it was an excuse for the punishers to detain the guests and wait for the professionals of the Mother Earth Church of God, as he had known since he had seen Father Utravsky arrive with the "Desolates", but he still felt that it was a bit redundant to push him out as a "hero".

Although he complained about the practice of the "substitute punisher", Abner still told Evan, who had been in charge of "protecting" him, about the dark eyeball bleeding he had observed, and it was none of his business whether the other party believed it or not.

As soon as he walked out of the building, Abner saw two familiar figures standing near and one far away inside and outside the roadcar, it was Hugh and Furth.

Hugh looked Abner up and down earnestly, and when he was sure that there was no damage on him, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked vaguely, "It's over?" ”

Abner glanced at the other MI9 security personnel not far away, nodded slightly, and said, "It's over, there is no danger for the time being." As a "hero" who has just ruled out the threat of "bombs", this level of disclosure is still no problem.

Hugh also knew that this was not the place to talk, and after thinking about it, he only asked in a low voice, "This time...... Is that something you can tell me? ”

Her tone was slightly unsteady, and once again she deeply felt her weakness...... If she had the strength of the middle order, after Forthth told her that something might happen to the ball, she would definitely not just wait here for the result, but would go into the building to help!

It's a pity that she only has Sequence 8, and rushing into it not only can't help, but is likely to become a burden.

Abner could see that something was not quite right in Hugh's mood, and roughly guessed what she was thinking, but this was not a good place to comfort people, so he had to say, "You should be busy later, and we will talk about it in detail when we meet in the East End on Sunday night." ”

He felt that apart from the possible "arrangement" involving the King of Angels and the suspected "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", it should be okay to talk about anything else to Hugh, which could not only increase Hugh's knowledge, but also make her more wary of witches.

Hugh nodded and said no more to Abnado, and after routinely checking his registration information, he let him go of the roadblock.

Furth, who was standing outside Luka, saw Abner come out, and while feeling relaxed, he also joked jokingly: "The 'hero' has really returned triumphantly, and it seems that the script I expected is still very good." ”

"Heroes? Have you heard anything about it? Abner asked subconsciously.

"What?" Furth was a little dazed when he heard this, not understanding what the other party meant.

"Nothing...... It's just that I've been a little allergic to the word lately. Abner stroked his forehead and smiled.

……

After sending Furth home, Abner finally returned to his teacher's house just before four o'clock.

He sent the servant who got up to open the door for him, and as soon as he returned to his room, he made a spiritual wall to seal the room, and then set up the ritual and began to pray to Mr. Fool.

Even though Judy and Cullen had already examined him at the Daily Observer's headquarters building to make sure he wasn't tainted by the Primordial Moon, he still felt it would be safer to let Mr. Fool take a look.

……

In the townhouse at Daffodil Straße 2 in Tingen, Klein, who had been sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by a series of illusory pleadings.

He rubbed his eyes, which were still a little dry, lit the candle on the table, took out his pocket watch a little sluggishly, and looked at it a few times to make sure that it was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night.

Who is this? Something is wrong with your head, right? What to pray for in the middle of the night? Still don't let people sleep?

Although Klein was a little angry when he got up, he was worried that the members of his tarot society were really in a hurry, so he still got up and set up the spiritual wall, and then walked four steps backwards, chanted a mantra, and came to the gray mist.

In the majestic palace like the abode of giants, his figure appeared at the top of the long bronze table, and a crimson star was reflected in his eyes, which was constantly shrinking and expanding.

That star belongs to the "tower".

Sure enough, it's him again...... I don't know what's going on this time......

Crane raised his right hand, spreading spirituality, and touched the star that symbolized the "tower".

Suddenly, he saw a distorted and blurred picture, and saw Mr. "Tower" sitting on a chair in a dark corner in a well-cut dark blue gown, his hands clasped against his buried forehead.

At the same time, his calm voice was superimposed illusory, echoing layer by layer:

"O fool who does not belong to this age;

"You are the mysterious lord above the gray mist;

"You are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune.

"I pray for your gaze;

"Hear your ears;

……

"I have been given a book on occult science written by the Duke of Blood, The Feast of Blood, and I pray that you will tell me if there are any curses or traps on it."

Klein listened carefully, discerned carefully, and finally figured out what Mr. "Tower" described:

Is this the joy of getting a occult book that I can't sleep, so I came overnight to be a "firewall"?

But books on the occult are exactly what I need right now...... It's just that the Duke of the Blood Clan is an extraordinary person in the sequence? Listening to the name should be high-level......

After much deliberation, Klein decided to help the "Tower" take a look, so that the "Tower" would owe the debt to the "Fool", and it would be convenient for the "Limelight" to ask him something. Of course, the main thing is that the gray fog is safe enough, even if there is a problem with that book, it is difficult to threaten him on the gray fog.

Even so, Klein first embodied a pen and parchment, and wrote:

"Bringing the Feast of Blood mentioned in the 'Tower' to the Feast of Blood will not put me in danger." statements.

Holding the silver chain, so that the citrine pendant barely touched the words on the parchment, Crane half-closed his eyes and silently recited the divination statement:

"Bringing the Feast of Blood mentioned in the 'Tower' to the Feast of Blood will not put me in danger."

"Bringing the Feast of Blood mentioned in the 'Tower' to the Feast of Blood will not put me in danger."

……

After repeating it seven times, he opened his eyes, looked at the pendulum, and nodded slightly.

The citrine pendant is turning clockwise, which means that there is no danger.

So, Klein no longer hesitated and began to respond to the prayer of the "tower".

……

Inside the bedroom of Detective Isinger's house.

Abner prayed several times, and finally paused, holding the book of "The Feast of Blood" in his hand, waiting for Mr. "The Fool" to respond.

He knew that Klein might be "touring" the old city in his sleep right now, and might even be "terrified" watching Captain Dunn eat the food he cooked, so he couldn't respond that quickly.

As the minutes passed, Abner took a deep breath and kept reassuring himself not to suffer from gains and losses, since the "desolate one" did not see the problem, then there should be no major matter, and confirmed to the fool that it was just for one more layer of insurance.

At this moment, a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and he found that an illusory mist was filling the surroundings.

In the center of the thick gray mist was an ancient high-backed chair, on which sat a mysterious existence that made people unable to see their appearance and figure, and looked down on everything.

Finally responded, it seems to be fine! Abner almost blurted out in surprise.

Immediately after, he heard a familiar deep voice:

"I see, 'sacrifice' that book to me."

The sound still echoed, the gray mist had disappeared, and Abner was back in his room.

The apprehension and uneasiness in his heart disappeared, he subconsciously straightened his back, and then came to the altar that had already been arranged, and put the "Blood Feast" on it.

……

When the illusory door had disappeared, the gale from the incantation had ceased, and the candle flame had returned to its original state, Abner simply cleaned up the room, put the materials in place, and then lay down on the bed, exhausted, and returned to sleep.

The next day, near noon, Abner yawned and got out of bed, and after a brief wash, went to the living room on the first floor.

At this time, the manservant Kenny greeted him with a happy face and congratulated, "Mr. Brian, you are really famous this time!" Even several newspapers under the control of the Church of the Storm praised your resourcefulness and courage, and reporters from more than a dozen newspapers came early this morning to ask for an interview, but Detective Stanton stopped you on the grounds that you were too tired and resting. ”

As he spoke, he unfolded several newspapers to the first page, and handed them to Abner one by one.

Abner took the newspaper and took a look:

"The attacker is mad, but the true hero knows the treacherous." - This is a rather serious title.

"The prince is in distress, the detective comes forward to save people, but the West Villas field lets the prisoner go because of incompetence?" - This is pure hatred for me.

"In the face of the crisis, the heroes reappeared, and several young ladies fell in love at first sight - the author's dance meeting." - I don't think I fell in love at first sight, but after I cut off a certain lady's arm with the wind blade, she was unforgettable.

……

Putting down these tabloids, which were obviously chasing after the wind and shadows, Abner picked up the "Daily Observer" that had just been published, which was quite detailed, and even the specious details of his "discovery that a certain young lady did not look right, suspected of being abducted and used" were written vividly.

It's just that Abner's eyes narrowed when he saw these descriptions, and it was only then that he understood what the "substitute punisher" was thinking about him......
