Chapter 679: Door and Hometown
Outside the Beckland steam station, Benson is very experienced in protecting his sister and wallet. The exit was successfully found.
Suddenly, they felt a gaze sweep across them at the same time.
As they looked, Benson and Melissa spotted a young gentleman with gold-rimmed glasses.
The gentleman pressed his top hat and looked past them to another young man beside them before he crossed them and entered the station.
At this time, Melissa subconsciously followed his line of sight to the young man with brown curly hair who was walking side by side with her brother and sister, she was a little familiar at first, and then remembered the source of this familiarity - the newspaper!
This man seems to be a "hero detective"!
While Klein was still alive, we also debated whether the detective's deeds were real......
"If he was just an ordinary person, his legendary performance in the case would naturally be very similar to a fabrication...... But if he is extraordinary, maybe the content that is reported and the deletion is not necessarily ......"
Melissa, who had witnessed the extraordinary abilities of her brother, came to Beckland, and in addition to going to school, she also had a hidden purpose of finding the "transcendent world......
And the detective in front of him, in Melissa's heart, is very likely to be an extraordinary person.
"And even if he's not...... He has been exposed to so many unbelievable cases, and he must have been in contact with it! ”
Melissa has never been a girl who lacks the ability to act, and since she has a judgment in her heart, she immediately accosted her in a somewhat "surprised" tone:
"Are you Mr. Abner Blaine?"
This behaves like a fan girl who recognizes an "idol".
On the other side, Abner, who had just taken a look at Mr. Fool's new vest, had just withdrawn his gaze when he heard Melissa's question.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked over and replied politely, "I don't think you recognized the wrong person, beautiful young lady." ”
Although Abner met Melissa for the first time, he had seen the images shown by Hugh in "Fort Yuan", plus the current location of the "famous scene" in the original book, and the man with a high hairline next to the little girl opposite......
He suddenly had some speculation in his mind.
Benson also stopped at this time, although he was a little surprised that his sister would take the initiative to talk, but he still greeted Abner very warmly:
"I didn't expect to run into you here, Detective Brian.
"My sister and I have great reverence for your heroic deeds."
As he spoke, he took a half step forward, covered Melissa behind him, and took the initiative to reach out his hand.
Abner reached out and shook his hand, smiling, "Thank you for remembering me as an 'outdated' detective." ”
After exchanging a few polite words and exchanging business cards, the two of them went out of the station, taking Elaine and Leon with them on one hand, boarding the carriage sent by Mr. Scudder to pick up the station, and on the other hand, walking to the smoke-spewing pillar in the street garden, expecting to see Beckland's underground transportation.
And Klein, who had squatted down and pretended to be packing his luggage since Melissa began to say hello, also stood up again at this time, and whispered to himself: "If you don't bother, try to help me take care of Melissa." ”
"Okay." Miss Sharon's illusory voice rang in his ears.
- Because they have experienced the "Tingen" scene on the fifth floor of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" together, Sharon knows the situation of Sherlock's original family.
……
Buying a second-class seat, Benson, who was sitting in the subway car, looked at his sister who asked for Detective Brian's business card, and joked with a smile: "Melissa, I thought you weren't interested in anything other than mechanics." ”
Melissa took the business card, carefully wrote down the address on it, and suddenly asked, "Benson...... Where did you get your reservation? ”
"Joewood District, 26 Kings Street.
"I heard from the agent that it was a nice big house, the environment was also very good, and the neighbors around were all middle-class families and very educated...... Because of some accidents, the rent is so low......"
Benson didn't think much of it, and replied casually. But halfway through his speech, he noticed that his sister's expression was a little strange, and he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
Melissa handed the business card back and pointed to the address on it.
Benson looked down and saw the words "28 Kings Street" printed on it.
"It turns out that the mansion next to us is the residence of Detective Brian...... What a coincidence! Benson couldn't help but sigh.
Melissa secretly excitedly said in her heart: Is this the goddess who is looking after me and allowing me to get close to the extraordinary world?
……
On the other side, after boarding the carriage, Abner heard the chirp of the "lion" Leon: "You blamed me for messing around in Byam, seeing that you have just arrived in Beckland, a woman has accosted you, and what I did for you in Byam may be conservative." ”
As for the bad character of this "lion", after these days of getting along, Abner can be regarded as having some understanding, so he directly ignored its words and changed the subject: "Did you promise me to come up with the 'blasphemy card' to open the spell?" ”
"Have you tried 'Isabella' and 'Bruna'? They're not the right names either? "Lion" Leon scratched his head with his paw and asked rhetorically.
Elaine, who was sitting on the other side, didn't know anything about their conversation, whether it was Abner's "Tudor Badge" or Leon the Lion, they had enough power to seal off her five senses and not let her find out.
"That's not right...... Moreover, I think if it was just Russell's woman's name, Panatia, who had been holding it before, would have 'turned it on' a long time ago. Abner shook his head.
"Yes, too...... You make me think about it...... Well...... When Russell made the card, it looked like a full moon night...... He seemed to be glancing up at the moon. Leon the lion shook his head for a long time before he spit out such a sentence.
"Full moon? Could it be that the process of making this card was not made with the participation of Mr. 'Gate'? But I've tried 'Crimson', 'Bethel', 'Abraham' and so on before, but none of them are right......"
Abner frowned, but he didn't have any ideas, so he could only think ramblingly:
"Full Moon...... What else does a Full Moon mean?
"Spirituality? The goddess of the night? Lilith? Or even the primordial moon?
"Hmm...... When the Emperor created the Blasphemy Card, he should have landed on the moon and knew that this world was actually the earth, but he could never go back......
"Huh? Wait a minute! ”
Thinking of this, Abner suddenly thought of another meaning of "full moon", which is the meaning that only belongs to the Chinese people:
"Look up at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown......"
Substituted for the emperor's state of mind at that time, if he had never known the truth of "crossing", the authority represented by the "door" was probably his hope to go home, right?
Pity...... This is the span of time......
With a sigh, some inexplicable "hunch" made Abner, who was "half a prophet", roughly guess what the opening spell of the "door" card was.
"Hometown!"
After enveloping the carriage with the "Secret Barrier of Evans", Abner took out the blasphemous card and recited the incantation.
……
At 2:55 p.m., Emlyn made an excuse in advance and left the Harvest Chapel and returned to his home.
He held his favorite doll in one hand while waiting anxiously for three o'clock to arrive.
Soon, although the crimson light that suddenly appeared swallowed him, he came to the ancient and mysterious hall again, and on both sides of the central bronze table, there were already many people sitting.
Before Emlyn could look around, he saw a young lady on the opposite side stand up and respectfully salute the mysterious being at the top:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
The other members also stood up and greeted them as well.
It was only then that Emlyn realized that he had missed something, and he was just about to say something to cover up his "disrespect", when he heard the young lady who had just taken the lead say in an emotional tone:
"Praise be to you, Mr. 'Fool'.
"You've saved Beckland again!"
