Mystery: Start with the Reader

Night, 160 Burklund Street, in the master bedroom.

Klein suddenly woke up from his dream and knew that an "outsider" was coming.

"Nighthawk"? But Dawn, as the husband of the Nighthawk, must have been censored a long time ago... He muttered, looking around, and found that he was in his bedroom on the second floor.

Then, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in..." Klein tried to make his voice sound like he was talking in his sleep.

Then, the handle turned, the door opened, and a familiar figure walked in.

He was wearing a black trench coat and red gloves. He had dark hair and green eyes, and was handsome. He was none other than Leonard Mitchell, the "poet classmate" in Klein's words.

"Dawn, we meet again." Leonard casually sat on a chair in the bedroom, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"What's the matter, Leonard?" Klein entered the state.

He knew that due to the influence of "Nightmare" ability, he should behave normally at this time.

Leonard put down the teacup and asked in a low voice:

"Why are you investing in Abner Brain's territory?"

It turns out it was for this... I thought you came to show me your cards! Well, even if there is a showdown, it is best to wait until I pass the goddess test and enter the "Chanis Gate", otherwise other changes may occur.

Klein's mind was spinning, and he responded "honestly":

"I knew Viscount Brain before I came to Backlund. Yes, my business in Byam received a lot of care from him..."

Dawn's resume was made up by Klein by asking "Lina", so he already knew it by heart.

And Abner had dealings with many businessmen at the "Fragrance Leaf Bar" in Bayam, so there was no way to find out.

As for whether this will expose who is the boss behind "Fragrant Leaf"... By now, Abner no longer cares about this trivial matter.

After briefly describing his fictitious experience and "selling" Abner, Klein stopped.

It turned out to be because of this... Leonard nodded suddenly, but said with a serious face:

"Does Daley know this?"

Klein said without hesitation:

"I know, when we went to Bayam to complete the arms deal, we also received help from Viscount Brain."

Although it is the special department under the "Church of the Night" that really contributes to the arms trade, but based on the relationship between Abner and the goddess, in a broad sense, it is not a problem to say that it is his help.

At the same time, Klein made some amends in his mind.

It seems that Dawn is lucky enough to get rich because he has something to do with that old monster Abner Brain, or even arranged by him. No wonder Dawn takes the initiative to invest in his territory!

That makes sense...

Leonard thought of this and asked Dawn if there was any other cooperation between him and Abner. After receiving a negative answer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Dai Li is not involved in danger, there is no need to worry too much, otherwise Ms. Dai Li may be dissatisfied.

Then, Leonard stood up and used the "Nightmare" ability to influence Dwayne Dantès, causing him to only vaguely remember what kind of dream he had when he woke up, but could not recall the specific content.

After doing all this, he turned towards the door, turned the handle, and left this dreamland.

He didn't even say goodbye, so rude! Klein complained after Leonard disappeared, and then sighed slightly:

"Now is not the time, and you may not believe me if I take the initiative to expose my identity... It's better to wait until you find out on your own!"

Klein was quietly in a daze for a few seconds, twitching the corners of his mouth, laughing at himself, and then "woke up".

Then, he shrugged his body, leaned his back against the head of the bed, and looked out the window.

In the pitch-black night, the light from the gas street lamps was dim and pale, illuminating the surroundings with an eerie silence.

The next moment, Sharon, wearing a small black bonnet and a palace dress of the same color, appeared in the glass of the window and looked at him.

"Has anyone been here?" Sharon asked simply.

Hearing her illusory voice and seeing her beautiful face like an exquisite doll, Klein felt that his mood instantly improved for some reason.

…

Backlund West District, in a luxurious house.

After seeing Abner "shuttle" in, Her Highness Vera, who was wearing pajamas, smiled and waved, releasing a thick mist that enveloped the room and made the crimson color on the windows lose its color.

"Good evening, Your Highness Vera." Abner saluted by pressing his chest and actively greeted him.

"Actually, it should be late at night now." Vera glanced at the wall clock and joked with a smile.

Isn't it because I was reminiscing with Torzina that it was a bit late... But as one of the general managers of MI9, I might not be able to see you if I come early.

Although there were a few slanders inside, Abner ostensibly confessed first and then went straight to the topic: "What was the result of Monday night's battle?"

He needed to evaluate whether the Loen royal family would react too much to the attack of the "Black Saint"... such as provoking a war in advance, or allowing George III to take the risk of ascending to the throne of God in advance.

Seemingly seeing his worries, Vera smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Loen royal family still doesn't know that the 'Black Saint' was attacked... They only learned that someone reported that someone had infiltrated the Hall family's dance. High-sequence witch.”

"However, the 'Black Saint' should be the highest-level liaison person with Loen...

"No matter if she disappears or dies, as long as she doesn't contact Loen or the Witch Cult for a long time, it will alert them, right?

"Of course, if she escapes, the situation will be even worse!" Abner looked into Vera's eyes and analyzed.

Vera shook her finger and pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "We had five angels with us at the time. Even if Medea had a lot of experience in escaping, there was no way she could have escaped...

"What's more, she can't beat me at all!"

"Medea?" Although Abner "insighted" a lot of content based on this name, he still asked.

Vera glanced at him with a playful look in her eyes, but she still replied: "Medea is a member of the Fourth Age 'Succubus' family. She followed the 'Night Emperor' and even followed him to surround and kill me!"

With that said, she didn't wait for Abner to ask again, and said directly: "After I 'imprisoned' her, I forced her to let go of her mental body and asked me to establish three major rules.

“First, as long as she is not harmed or deliberately sent to death, she must accept my order at least once a month for a hundred years;

“Second, she cannot reveal to any existence or in any form what she was driven by me;

“Third, she can’t take revenge on you, and all your friends.

"With these three rules, she can now be said to be our servant, and naturally she will not be exposed in front of George III."

Abner thought for a while and asked, "What if she prays to the original witch for help?"

"These rules were established directly in her spiritual body by the 'Uncertain Mist', and cannot be lifted by Chike alone." Her Highness Vera said with confidence, "Moreover, her praying to the gods is against the rules. It can’t be done.”

"Of course, the final interpretation of these three rules rests with me, and there is no way she can circumvent them anyway." Vera finally added.

It turns out that this is the case. Abner carefully thought about these three rules. Although he felt that there were many "loopholes", since the power of interpretation was in Vera's hands and could be supplemented at any time, it was not a big problem.

"By the way, after being driven by me, Medea took the initiative to reveal some information, some of which was about you." Vera seemed to sense that Abner wanted to leave at this time, so she took the initiative to say.

Abner, who was about to leave, suddenly swallowed back the words he was about to say and asked curiously: "What information?"

“The ‘Red Saint’ and ‘White Saint’ of the Witch Sect paid a huge price to invite the ‘Blue Saint’ and prepared to go to Trier to capture Owen Delien…

"They originally asked Medea, but she didn't agree."
