()"'Doctor Strange'? Dunn gave Abner a few strange glances before nodding and saying, "A classic character from Russell the Great's 'Heroes' series...... I have to say, your appearance is very similar to what the Emperor described......"

"Maybe I'm the one who came out of Russell's?" Abner smiled and teased.

Abner, who has studied Russell's various quotations and writings since the time crossing, naturally knew about the so-called "Heroes" series for a long time, otherwise he would not dare to give his "vest" this name.

You know, neither the goddess nor the Maozi priest will be unfamiliar with the name of the superhero, if there is no endorsement from Russell, he will light up the "vest", I am afraid that he will be targeted by those two immediately.

Speaking of which, although Russell's "Heroes" is a series, he has only written "Doctor Strange", "Iron Man" and "Hulk", and it may be that the imagination is too advanced, these three books were not very popular more than a hundred years ago, and their influence is far less than "The Return of the Count" plagiarized from "The Count of Monte Cristo".

On the contrary, it has been in the past ten years that these three books have been rejuvenated and regarded as classics by many people...... But it's still niche.

Poor sales may have been the reason why Russell did not continue to write the "Heroes" series...... Of course, it is more likely that the church intervened, after all, in order to fit in with the reality of this world, Russell changed a lot of plots and added some specious extraordinary knowledge.

And the reason why Abner used this name as a "vest" is also because the role of "polymath" may have a need for "fame" or something...... With the gimmick of a classic character, "becoming famous" is relatively simpler.

If it weren't for the reputation of "Hero Detective" and | "Erudition" has nothing to do with it - "fraternity" is about the same, plus the church is strict with the management of the extraordinary people at the level of sequence 6, he does not want to expose it yet...... Why do you need to open a separate "vest"?

Dunn ignored Abner's joke, and after carefully observing the ritual composition in the hall and confirming that there were no "evil" elements, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "'Doctor Strange', you are also a vampire...... Bloodline? ”

"I'm not a Blood...... You don't have to bother tempting, I can tell you that I have been commanded to 'resurrect' you and give you some guidance. Abner shook his head and said bluntly.

"On orders...... On whose orders? Although Dunn was vigilant in his heart, he didn't show it, and asked cautiously, "Is it the high-ranking powerhouse of the Blood Clan who reserved 'protection' for me?" ”

In a sense, you guessed it...... Abner thought to himself, but he smiled but didn't say anything. Although Lilith didn't ask him to hide it, he instinctively felt that such information was not appropriate for him to leak from his mouth.

Seeing this, Dunn knew that it was difficult to get his words out, so he had to change the subject and asked in a deep voice, "What is the guidance you said before?" ”

"My task is to bring you to the Church of Abundance in the port of Enmat...... The rest, you'll know when you get there. Abner replied.

Through the analysis of Dunn's body, he roughly figured out the other party's current condition, and knew that his spirit was probably still very chaotic and needed to be "treated" by professionals...... And in the so-called "Church of Plenty", as expected, there will be a professional waiting there.

"'Church of Plenty'? Mother Earth God Church ...... "Dunn heard this, his vigilance lowered a little again, the Earth Mother God Church is a righteous God organization, at least it will not do anything evil.

From the moment he woke up, the experienced Dunn knew that it would be difficult for him to return to the Night Church and become a night watchman again......

Even if he is forced to go back, his best outcome is to become the internal guardian of Chanismon, and he may even be imprisoned underground for a long time......

If he doesn't care, it doesn't matter, he can endure that kind of treatment...... However, he clearly remembered that the moment before his death, a palm pierced Klein's chest!

There was clearly a mastermind behind the events of the previous three months in Tingen, and that culprit eventually succeeded...... He didn't know how many people in the company survived...... But even if it's just Klein's revenge, he wants to avenge it with his own hands!

This made him temporarily unable to accept the fate of being imprisoned......

What's more, once imprisoned, it may become difficult to meet Dai Li...... And that kind of self is even less worthy of her......

So, after pondering for a moment, Dunn asked again, "Accept your arrangement...... Is it possible to get promoted? "Usually mysterious organizations use this condition to lure extraordinary people to join, right?

Abner shook his head and smiled, "How you get promoted is your own business...... However, when you arrive at the Church of Plenty, it should help you with your mental problems. ”

"You don't need me to join?" Dunn was surprised and asked, Could it be that I am just doing a good deed every day when I am resurrected?

If you look at the style of Bishop Utravsky's paintings, you can see that the belief in the goddess of the earth is mainly voluntary...... And even if Lilith had a good relationship with the goddess, he wouldn't dig into the wall so directly, would he?

After a few words, Abner shook his head and said meaningfully, "That one didn't tell you, he was just selling a friend's favor." ”

No matter who this "friend" refers to, Klein's favor is definitely owed...... Lilith didn't lose at all.

"He?!" Dunn's tone couldn't hide his shock, although he guessed that the Bloodline was at least an earl...... But I didn't expect it to be a duke at the "angel" level!

An angel would not have deceived me, a little man...... But is there anyone I know who can be held so highly by angels? Who is worthy of an angel's deliberate "favor"?

In a flash of thought, Dunn made a decision in his heart, stared at Abner with deep gray eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I will follow you to Enmatt Harbor first, so that you can complete the mission......" Speaking of this, he changed his words and said in a mellow voice, "But before I go, I have to confirm some things......

After a little thought, Abner guessed what Dunn was thinking, and asked in a determined tone, "You want to know the outcome of last Sunday's battle for Blackthorn Security...... And who's behind it, right? ”

"You know?" Dunn looked at him, his gray eyes full of solemnity, obviously afraid of hearing news that he couldn't accept.

"First of all, I am relieved that you have succeeded in saving Tingen, and the children of the evil gods have not been able to come.

"In that battle, it was you, Klein Moretti, and the inner caretaker who died...... In addition, Ms. Siga and Leonard suffered only minor injuries.

"As for who is behind it...... It's Ince Zangwill. ”

Combining the plot of the original book with the information given by Bishop Utravsky, Abner briefly explained the results to Dunn.

Dunn's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, his eyes shone inward, and he said to himself as if he was thinking, "Ince Zangwill...... '0-08'...... Those coincidences...... I see, I understand that he is here for the 'ashes of St. Selena', and all the events before were meant to affect my spirit and make me make the wrong decision at a critical time......"

After more than ten seconds, he looked back at Abner and said, "Can we go to the cemetery to see Klein before we leave...... It was my mistake that killed him......"

Abner's face was slightly strange when he heard this request, after all, what is there to see about an empty tomb? However, seeing that Dunn was so cooperative, he did not refuse, and after looking at the already somewhat cloudy sky outside the window, he took out a mask that looked like graffiti from his pocket and handed it over.

"It's a 'clown' mask, and wearing it allows you to disguise yourself as another face...... I don't think you want to be recognized by your former colleagues either. Abner hid his smile and said very seriously.

Without hesitation, Dunn took the mask and put it on his face. Immediately afterward, his face began to squirm, and flesh and skin underwent strange changes like half-dissolved wax blocks, finally combining into the face of "Tony Stark" that Abner had pinched earlier.

Feeling the squirming on his face stop, Dunn stood up, walked to the full-length mirror in the corner of the hall, looked at it carefully, and finally nodded: "It's okay, people who are not particularly familiar with it should not recognize it." ”

Next, Dunn changed into the clothes that Abner had prepared for him in advance, and then walked out one after the other.

However, when Dunn came to the garden and saw the whole picture of the house, he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that I was resurrected in this house......"

"Is there anything special about this house?" Abner was a few steps behind because he had to clean up the ritual items, and when he heard Dunn's words, he asked confusedly.

"Me and Crane and Leonard, they used to fight Triss the Witch here...... Hehe, if I had followed Klein's idea and bombarded it with cannons first, I'm afraid this house wouldn't exist......" Speaking of this, Dunn suddenly fell silent, and then muttered in a hoarse voice: "Crane, ......"

……

A corner of Raphael's Cemetery, in front of Klein's grave.

Dunn looked at the bookish black-and-white photograph for a moment before he stood up and said to Abner beside him, "Let's go." ”

Crane, as captain, I will avenge you.

……

Meanwhile, Klein, who had just spent £30 advertising his detective business in some tabloids, sneezed unnaturally.

He sniffled, looked up at the foggy sky, and complained, "The air in Beckland is terrible. ”

Then, he picked up the "Beckland Secret" that he had just spent advertising money on, and complained silently: "It costs so much money to advertise...... And Mr. 'Tower' obviously didn't spend a penny, but he had so much 'news'......"

Hey, when I think of Mr. Tower, I think of the Fallen Morning Star, which was taken by Ince Zangwill...... What excuse should I use to fool this over at the afternoon meeting?

……

At noon, Abner and Dunn walked out of the steam station in Port Enmat, and under the strange gaze of the coachman, they hurried to the "Church of Plenty" near the outskirts of the city.

At least half of the people in Port Emmatt believe in the Lord of the Storm, and the Mother Earth Church has almost no followers here.

As a result, the Church of Fertility is much more deserted than the Harvest Church in Beckland, where only two priests preside.

One of the priests was a man of about 50 years of age, with a beard and hair of a lot of silver, with kind eyebrows and eyes, and a temperament similar to that of Bishop Utravsky.

The other was a good-looking lady who looked to be in her thirties, had beautiful long brown hair, and had a dimple at the corner of her mouth when she smiled.

When they saw Abner and the others enter, they stood up and greeted them.

The long-haired brown lady looked at Dunn for a few moments, then at Abner, and said with a smile:

"I've helped her get the cow you asked my daughter to find, in the open space behind the church."
