Chapter 389: An Unquiet Night
As a good friend of Hugh, Abner knows all too well how strong the extraordinary person of the "arbiter" path is to the transcendent level of his own "jurisdiction".
At the level of "Hugh" Sequence 7, he may not be able to hide his extraordinary abilities secretly, not to mention that Admiral Emilius, who has just entered the Doge's Palace, is a real "arbiter" demigod! The demigods of the "jurisdiction" can be prescribed at any time!
The reason why the other party didn't find out that he was in "psychological invisibility" at the first time, in addition to the fact that he may not be very good at this aspect of investigation, the most important thing is that after the other party stepped into the governor's palace, he never took any action.
Yes, the reason why Abner felt a dilemma at this moment was because he didn't even dare to move, lest Admiral Emilius detect the subtle changes in the "jurisdiction", and then associate it with "psychological invisibility" and conduct a more detailed investigation.
But this is not a thing...... although the "pure white eye" can be opened continuously for a long time, it is also a maximum of two hours, what if the general does not leave all night?
If it weren't for the luck, Abner would have wanted to "get out" of this scene and challenge it with a "dream labyrinth".
At this time, a room on the second floor suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes, facial features similar to Emilius, but his forehead was high, the bags under his eyes were slightly swollen, and the corners of his mouth had not yet drooped, and he hastily put on a coat and walked down.
From the name of the servants around him, Abner knew that it was Auston Levitt, the younger brother of Emilius Livitt, the governor of Olawe.
He walked straight into Emilius' office and asked what was the matter of bothering him so late.
And then the area around that office was sealed off by spirits.
"Good chance!" Abner's eyes lit up at this. While the spiritual wall can prevent the outside world from listening to the conversations in the office, Admiral Emilius' ability to "sense" the outside "jurisdiction" will certainly be weakened.
Although Abner still didn't dare to use extraordinary abilities such as "Dream Shuttle" and "Open the Door", he should be able to hide it by simply walking around......
And he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hide in places that the admiral would not easily sense or explore, such as the bathroom...... Another example is the bedroom where Governor Auston just came out.
No matter how cautious Admiral Emilius is, he will not always pay attention to his brother's private life, not to mention that he has not found anyone infiltrating the mansion, so the inspection will not be too strict.
After thinking about it, Abner quickly came to the door of the bedroom under the cover of "psychological stealth", and after a glance, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Mr. Governor came out without the door, leaving a gap.
Gesturing with his hand, Abner felt that his figure should be able to pass through the half-open door, and cautiously slipped inside.
This room was supposed to be a guest room, not very big in size, but very emotionally decorated.
At this moment, a lady with blue-gray eyes and only wearing pajamas was leaning against the head of the bed, looking at a book by the light of the gas lamp.
Unaware of Abner's arrival, she took out a pen and paper and began to take notes or excerpts.
Who's this? The skin is not fair enough, more like what it looks like after being exposed to the wind and sun...... Well, that wouldn't be the wife of the Governor of Auston...... Lover?
After a few glances, Abner withdrew his gaze. He is not a pervert, and he didn't hide here to peep on purpose, but out of necessity.
But at this moment, the lady with blue and gray eyes suddenly put down her pen and said to herself with a smile: "I see, I know what kind of ruins this is!" ”
Hearing this, Abner jerked his head up, and after saying sorry in his heart, he walked a few steps to the bedside, and poked his head to look at the note in the lady's hand.
……
Beckland, 2 Kings Avenue, Kingdom Museum.
After receiving a report in the evening that Miss Justice had broken the bookmark and reacted abnormally, Klein decided to take the risk of stealing back the bookmark, which was most likely the "Blasphemy Card".
This is not only because the "blasphemy card" may contain the mystery of the gods, which is extremely valuable, but also because it is also an attempt by him to play the role of "magician".
As a result, Klein used the "Master Key" to enter an uninhabited building near the museum, and performed a ritual in it, summoning a special spirit that had been reinforced by the "Azk Bronze Whistle".
And at this moment, on the ceiling of the exhibition hall on the first floor of the museum, where a huge crystal chandelier was hung, the almost transparent, faint human face of Klein's spirit suddenly stood out.
He looked down at the exhibition hall, his eyes constantly rolling, taking in all the scenes in the area.
There are no extraordinary, no security personnel...... Crane muttered, and the whole figure pierced through the ceiling, half-flying and half-descending to Russell's desk shrouded in glass.
He glanced at it, and without hesitation, he stretched out two hands at the same time, grabbing the bookmark in the "creative manuscript" and the bookmark like a child's graffiti.
After first knowing that Mr. "Tower" is an extraordinary person of the "Reader" path, Klein made a point of learning about the ability of this pathway, and knew that in the stage of Sequence 7 "The Keeper of Knowledge", he will have an ability called "scene backtracking", which can "go back" to what happened.
There may not be a "Keeper of Knowledge" in the Church of Steam, but there is no guarantee that there will be no "seal" with a similar function.
Therefore, he wanted to show that he did not know which bookmark was abnormal, so that the investigator could not suspect Miss "Justice" who had only touched and destroyed one bookmark.
However, just as Klein had just wrapped the two bookmarks in spirits, there was a sudden "Wow! Wow! Wow! The baby screams!
It's so unreal, like it came from far, far away.
Klein's body stiffened, as if the lake had encountered ultra-low temperatures, and suddenly there was a noticeable freeze.
In the spirit state, he seems to be frozen!
Then, surrounded by the cries of babies and the black slits that isolated the spirit world, a soft but emotionless female voice reached Klein's ears: "Why do you only take bookmarks? ”
Crane froze in place, only to see a tall bookshelf in the foreground, divided into two floors, almost reaching the ceiling, where stairs and passageways surrounded the books.
Among them, on the top staircase sits a figure hidden by darkness.
The figure's feet in black leather boots hung down, leaning against the wooden staircase, suspended in mid-air.
I didn't even notice her presence...... Is this the powerhouse of the "Heart of the Machine"? No, I think I've seen these black leather boots...... By the way, it's the lady next to Miss Jane I met in the morning, who is dressed very specially!
I had guessed that she was a "star general", but now it doesn't seem to be ...... Because she is most likely a high-level being!
In a flash of thought, Crane didn't answer, but a big smile suddenly appeared on his oil-painted face.
Immediately after, his illusory and almost transparent figure disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know where he went!
The lady sitting on the stairs, or Bernadette, couldn't help but furrow her pretty eyebrows at this, and her blue eyes looked at the place where Crane had disappeared, and suddenly became deep, as if she had lost focus, but soon she snorted and covered her eyes in pain.
……
In the bridge district, in a single-family house near Tiemen Street, the "secret master" Stewart had already guessed the means and motives of the "Esoteric Order" to frame him after visiting the dreams of Mrs. Corson and several other divorced workers' wives.
Although he felt that the "instigator" was most likely being used, he still came to the house where they used to meet, intending to "backtrack" some information in order to arrest him.
But to Stewart's surprise, the remaining breath in the house had already been cleaned up, and more than once, so that his "backtracking" was unsuccessful.
"It wouldn't have been the 'instigator' who did it, and if he had been so cautious, he wouldn't have left so many clues before...... So, was it his organization that finally found out that he was being used and sent someone else to deal with the aftermath?
"Hehe, you escaped pretty quickly...... But it gave me a new idea......"
After a few silent words to himself, Stewart decided to "disguise" himself as the "instigator", the so-called Miss Kaye Shaw...... He wanted to see what the Esoteric Order and the Aurora Society, which was hidden in the back, wanted to do.
……
In the West District, in the dark chess and card room where there is no light in a bar, two different types of "female ghosts" after finalizing the plan of how to deal with the indulgent faction of the "Rose School", their bodies are cold, as if Jane, surrounded by countless dead spirits, relayed the "prophecy" of the mysterious queen to Miss Sharon who was sitting in the mirror.
"I see." Sharon, who was wearing a small black floppy hat, nodded lightly and said calmly.
"The queen said you can interpret it, and that's right...... But who is that detective referring to? Jane asked curiously.
"A friend." Miss Sharon replied succinctly.
Just as Jane wanted to continue asking, suddenly a series of voices seemed to be blessed with some special power and echoed in the silent night:
"Murder!"
"Help!"
"Murder!"
"Help!"
In the dark, Jane Huo stood up suddenly, and some of the spirits around her also scattered, but at this time, she keenly noticed that in Sharon's blue eyes, a trace of imperceptible emotion flashed away and was deeply hidden.
"What's wrong?" Jane couldn't help but ask, surprised, this was the first time she had noticed emotions in Sharon.
Her lips opened slightly, closed again, and finally Sharon spoke:
"That's ...... him"
