Chapter 310: Puppets and Commissions

In Rosago's impression, the little detective was actually very familiar, and if it wasn't for the ambassador's request to kill him, he didn't want to kill an insignificant little person.

"If you want to blame yourself, you are unlucky, and you were involved in such an incident in the low sequence......"

Rosago, who had changed into Sheriff Fasin, muttered to himself silently as he walked briskly outside the house at 15 Minsk Street.

Then he reached out and rang the doorbell.

The sound of clanging echoed in the silence of the night, and Crane's spirit in the room instantly tensed, and his hands were inserted into his coat pockets, touching the tarot cards and the "Filthy Words" charm, respectively.

He walked slowly to the door, and with the help of the clown's ability, he had a premonition of what he would see when he opened the door:

The crimson moon still looms, the elegant gas lamps haven't changed, and a sheriff in a black-and-white checkered uniform with three V's on epaulettes waits impatiently by the door.

He has a short brown beard under his chin, and he is Sergeant Fasin who previously handled the "Sherlock Moriarty Just Defense Case".

Klein had a good impression of him, after all, before being interrogated by Miss "Trial", the sheriff kindly reminded himself that he had a certain psychological preparation.

But Klein didn't open the door blindly......

Mr. Tower's "clown mask", which he used to sacrifice every week to receive "education", has the ability to change people's appearance, and that mask is almost certainly something from the "soothsayer" path......

Therefore, the sequence in the "Fortune Teller" path should have similar abilities!

At this thought, Klein silently recited the words "Visitors from outside pose a danger", and then popped up a copper coin of a quarter of a penny, and watched it fall into the palm of his hand, the number facing up.

Negation...... Crane muttered to himself silently, but he didn't let this lower his guard, he knew that there was a fellow sequencer on the Ambassador's side who could interfere with his divination.

If it's the other party, it's normal to get the wrong answer!

Unfortunately, I didn't have time or opportunity to go to the gray fog to confirm...... I couldn't even respond to the illusory prayer I heard just now......

Crane looked through the plank with his vision for a while, didn't notice anything, then opened the door and took two steps back.

……

After reporting the news of the Ambassador's death to Mr. Fool, Abner took out the Necronomicon from the storage room and used it as the core to inspire the "hidden" ritual that had already been set up in the villa.

It is worth mentioning that shortly after he left the embassy using Dream Shuttle, he quietly returned to the abandoned prison from the ground in the form of a giant bear, destroying the altar he had set up without alarming anyone, and recovering the "Hand of Wisdom" chainmail glove.

While thinking about whether there was any omission in his previous operation, and confirming that the entire villa was indeed in a certain degree of "secrecy", he opened the "blood-stained jewelry box", took out the "puppet head" obtained from Beckron, opened the "pure white eye", and conducted a preliminary analysis.

"Name: Marionette

"Appearance: A puppet's head with black eyes.

"Function: You can share the special vision of the puppet, see the 'spirit line' within 100 meters, and control the spirit line within five meters, control the target like a puppet, make its thinking sluggish, body stiff, and sluggish movements...... This process takes at least twenty seconds.

"Precautions: When not in use, please cover the eyes of the puppet, otherwise it will continue to consume the user's spirit.

"This item can be used for another 2 years."

Looking at the analysis report of the "Pure White Eye", Abner hesitated for a moment, spread his spirituality, touched the head of the black-eyed puppet, and established a connection with it.

Immediately afterward, something strange added to his vision.

It was an innumerable number of illusory black threads, spreading out from himself, from every part of his body, piercing through the void and leading to infinity.

Abner knew that it was the "spirit thread", the source of the extraordinary abilities of the "Master of the Puppet".

"It's no wonder that Rosago in the original book called the manipulation on the 'Spirit Line' one of the most difficult abilities below the high sequence......

"This kind of strange 'line' that can't be seen or interfered with, it is difficult for ordinary extraordinary people to have the ability to fight, unless it is interrupted by outsiders, or the controller takes the initiative to stop, they can only rely on the strength of their own spirit body to get rid of it, but that requires at least the level of a demigod to be possible......

"It's a pity that this 'marionette' is not created with the extraordinary characteristics of the 'secret puppet master', and its ability is very flawed compared to the real 'secret puppet master'...... As for further mastering and becoming a puppet, it can't be done......

"However, there are no advantages to not being created by 'extraordinary characteristics', and the lack of mental pollution in the characteristics makes this item almost non-negative, but it can be carried on the body for a long time."

Thinking of this, Abner withdrew the spreading spirituality, then covered the puppet's head with a handkerchief, and the scene before him returned to normal.

After putting the puppet's head back in the jewelry box, removing the ritual, and returning the villa to its normal state, Abner was about to go downstairs to ask Mrs. Scudder for some supper, but at that moment, Mr. Scudder knocked on the door of his bedroom.

"What's the matter?" Abner asked in surprise after opening the door.

"Detective Brian...... It was Miss Fanny who came to visit. Mr. Scudder gave Abner a complicated look, then immediately restrained his emotions and said meticulously.

Hey, don't think I didn't see it...... But what does Fanny do at this time? It can't be that you're here for supper with me......

Abner subconsciously looked at the clock and found that it was past ten o'clock, so he couldn't help but complain a few words.

But doubts aside, he went downstairs to receive the always enthusiastic Miss Intis.

In the living room, as soon as Fanny sat down, she said straight to the point: "Abner, I have something I want to entrust to you. ”

"What's the matter? Take your time and don't rush. Abner asked cautiously as he took a sip of the black tea that Mrs. Scudder had brought him.

"I would like to ask you to find out the real culprit of the assassination of Békron Jean Madan, the ambassador of Antis to Rune, and to clear my grandfather." Fanny grabbed the corners of her skirt with both hands, her expression was nervous and serious, and finally added in an accentuated tone, "Please!" The only person I can think of who can help right now is you......"

Hearing this, Abner used great perseverance to stabilize his emotions, so that he did not squirt out the black tea in his mouth......

He froze and deliberately asked in a surprised tone, "Ambassador Intis was assassinated?" When? ”

"Just this evening......" Fanny recounted what had happened.

Abner was now sure that the young lady in front of him was not here to test herself, and that she was not fit to do the work of temptation, so she deliberately pondered for a moment, and asked again cautiously, "Is there any object of suspicion?" ”

"Yes...... My grandfather and some of the military attachés of the embassy thought that Mr. A of the Aurora Society was the most suspicious!

"Originally, my grandfather wanted to thoroughly check the 'records' of the ritual's operation to confirm it......

"But a military attache of the House of Sauron suspected that my grandfather might have been involved in the assassination...... He resolutely refused to let it go, and reported it to the country.

"Because of the influence of the Sauron family, the rest of the military attachés did not object...... So my grandfather is currently in their temporary custody......"

……

Inside a townhouse at 15 Minsk Street.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With five gunshots, Klein lowered his revolver, gasping for air and smiling.

In front of him, Rosago's headless corpse shook and fell backwards next to the couch, red, white, and black scattered all over the ground......
