Chapter 697: Theater
Seeing Hugh's somewhat subtle eyes, Abner coughed dryly and explained, "The main body of this dress, I used the white robe left by Panatia, which was woven from the 'spider silk' of the 'Witch of Despair'. Very tough, even small-caliber high-pressure steam rifles could not penetrate......
"With these advantages, a few minor cosmetic defects are not a problem."
Hugh was silent for a moment, looked at Abner inexplicably, and then silently picked up the white robe, turned around and entered the bedroom inside......
Is this satisfied, or dissatisfied? Speaking of which, if Hugh deliberately hides his thoughts, he can even hide his "mind reading...... It must have been interfered with with by the extraordinary abilities of the spirit class...... This was exercised in front of Miss "Justice"?
As soon as Abner thought of this, he heard the sound of the bedroom door opening, and he looked over it, and then saw "Audrey" in a complicated dress walking out of it.
- Abner had seen Audrey at Duke Negan's ball, so he knew her appearance.
"Hugh? Well, I have to say, it became very similar, even the temperament was similar. Abner looked at it with "appreciation" and exclaimed.
Hugh glanced at him, then looked at the full-length mirror in the living room, and said with a little frustration, "The legs are still not as long as Miss Audrey...... The height can only be raised to 1.62 meters..."
In fact, as a "Faceling" item, it is already excellent...... Abner complained in his heart, and on the surface he changed the subject: "Have you tested other abilities?" ”
Hearing this, Hugh turned around, and his appearance had changed back to his original appearance, but his figure still maintained the "template" of "Audrey".
"The negative effects of 'Fear of Fire' are more serious than you say, not only does it become a weakness, but it also prevents me from maintaining the Faceling' ability to manifest myself when I am 'scorched' by fire.
"'Damage Transfer' is the same as the corresponding ability of 'Magician' that I know at MI9, as long as there is no direct death and the hands can still move, you can transfer the wound in the critical position to the arm and other less important places, turning the fatal injury into a minor injury.
"The two abilities 'Fire Manipulation' and 'Fire Jumping' are not very easy to use because of the weakness of the fear of fire...... After all, the slightest burn is likely to render the camouflage ineffective.
"Overall, though, it's a pretty nice item, aside from a bit of a shame in style...... But if you take it to the Tarot Club and sell it, I am afraid that Mr. 'Ta''s erudite and intelligent image will collapse in front of 'justice', 'temperance' and Firth. ”
Hugh organized his language and analyzed it in a serious manner.
"Isn't that what you 'booked'? Naturally, I won't get the 'Tarot Club' to sell again. Abner took Hugh's teasing remark and asked in a slightly ambiguous tone, "Speaking of which, what are you going to pay for this item?" ”
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Hugh's "new figure" with malicious eyes.
His original intention was to make Hugh shy and take the opportunity to seize the initiative on the topic, but who wanted Hugh to pick up a stack of papers from the table on the side without changing his face, handed it to Abner and said, "The price of the 'Bairong Silk Clothes' should be between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds...... Together, these are roughly equivalent. ”
"'Hundred Silk Clothes'?" Abner subconsciously repeated the noun and took the papers.
"That's the name I just gave it." Hugh replied briefly, then pointed to the document in Abner's hand and said, "This is the reward I received in the Great Smog Incident, a property...... It originally belonged to Prince Edsak. ”
"Edsak's estate?" Abner flipped through the documents and found that the property was a theatrical theatre in the Hilston district...... However, it has long been abandoned due to poor management, and it can be said that it is the least valuable of Edsak's many industries.
But even without the added value of a theatre, the value of the property is definitely around £4,000 in terms of its size.
I was worried that my "film and television company" would not have a theater line...... Isn't that what happened?
Abner's heart moved, and he pretended to take a pity at Hugh's outfit a few times before putting the property documents into the card.
Hugh didn't panic at all, she knew Abner was joking...... There is even a vague and inexplicable regret hidden.
After the topic was over, Abner took the opportunity to mention the matter of Fanny's grandfather, Hugh frowned after hearing this, and said thoughtfully: "I have not received any news about this matter, I will go to the informant in a while, and there should be preliminary results in the evening...... I'll go to you when the time comes...... Well, ask Mrs. Scudder to help me prepare an extra dinner. ”
……
West End, in Mr. Surrey's villa.
With Leonard's help several times, the members of the Night Watch Team finally cracked the ritual that had been fully activated in the villa, and arrived near the staircase on the first floor, where they saw the bodies of the two members of the elite team of the Fryce family.
"There are no signs of fighting, these two men died of poisoning themselves.
"One of them was a 'decryptor' of Sequence 7 and the other was an 'instigator' of Sequence 8...... Didn't bring anything to identify yourself...... Most likely, the dead man...... However, the possibility that the killer deliberately falsified the scene cannot be ruled out.
"They should have encountered a force far beyond their level, and they were restrained in an instant."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Captain Sost looked at Ms. Dai Li, who was a little absent-minded, and raised his voice and asked, "Dai Li, have you found anything?" ”
Dai Li came back to her senses when she heard this, but shook her head and said, "We are late, their spirits have long since dissipated, and we can only see that there is a remnant of the power of 'notarization'." ”
After listening to her words, Thorst glanced at Dali with a strange expression, feeling that she was very abnormal today.
"It stands to reason...... Statements like, 'They've long since been hollowed out, leaving only the white remnants of the notary' are normal for Dalie, right? I was a little uncomfortable with her serious explanation......" Sost muttered a few words in his heart, and said thoughtfully on the surface:
"The owner of this house, Mr. Surrey, believes in the god of steam and machinery...... He was assassinated by the followers of the Eternal Sun, and then counter-killed?
"Is this a political in-house in-Intis dump?"
The other red glove who was in charge of the autopsy nodded and said, "Most likely...... Captain, what are we going to do? ”
Sost thought about it for a moment, and felt that although the case took place in the West End, it was really not suitable for night watchers, so he ordered someone to notify the embassy and the "mechanical heart", and shared the preliminary findings with the latter.
Just as he was arranging the task, Ms. Dai Li recalled the picture that had just appeared in her mind, her face suddenly flushed, and she couldn't help muttering:
"Why don't you meet me directly if you want to see me, and take a secret photo...... It's as brave as ever! ”
Then she remembered the tall and mysterious figure behind the fog before the picture was formed, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "O fool! ”
At the same time, Leonard's ears rang with the voice of Pales' old man:
"I sensed the breath of the 'Sunstrider......
"He seems to be an acquaintance of mine!
"I remember that He died in the chaotic years after the War of the Four Emperors......"
