Chapter 14: Abandoned manor

   "How often do you contact Lina? Does she know you are cursing Hugh?"

   "We usually only contact each other once in two or three months, and it is still too early for the next contact... She only asked the result, and didn't know what I was doing." Turner replied blankly.

   Hearing this, Abner and Hugh breathed a sigh of relief. The latter felt that in this case, it was almost impossible for the Gnostic people to find her, not to mention a secret organization, and it might not be possible to investigate the disappearance of a Sequence 8. And Abner believes that even if he is found, it will take a few months, and by then he may not be afraid of him.

"I have a good relationship with MI9, Night Watcher, and Mechanical Heart. I will hand over this'instigator' to them in a moment. A rank 8 evil person can also be worth a lot of rewards. You don't blame me for taking this money alone, do you?" Detective Isinger joked exaggeratedly.

Abner knows that the other party is actually protecting himself and Xiu to a greater extent. After all, if a person falls into the hands of the official, the Gnostic Society or the Witch Sect may have to die. After all, they are a secret organization, and they will not interact with the righteous gods. The church confronted each other head-on.

   Xiu obviously thought of this too, and quickly thanked him again.

After   , the three questioned some other questions, but the Turner in front of them was just a Gnostic little guy, and they didn't know more, so they didn't gain much.

After fainting the'instigator' again, Detective Isengard clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's divide his possessions by one point, and then the matter will end here, and the rest will be handed over to the official Go ahead and do it."

   At this point, he listed the things he found in front of him. There were a total of two badges, a three-sided thorn, a star crystal, and about 120 gold pounds in cash.

Detective Isinger looked at the two of Abner, and then took the star crystal and the badge of the hermit of destiny into his hands, and said with a smile: "The most valuable is the Sequence 8 Extraordinary himself, since he returned If you have me, I'll take these two more...you have no objections?"

   Xiu shook his head quickly, and said, "You are the only one who caught this person. These things are yours. How could I have any opinions?"

   Abner naturally thinks so too, but he is curious what the teacher will give him.

Detective Isinger took the half-damaged cursed badge and handed it to Abner, saying: "This badge should not be repaired, it is of no value to me. But it can still be used again, you The current sequence doesn’t have much combat effectiveness, so let’s use it as a hole card.” With that, he set aside the 120 pounds in cash and continued, “You also take the money. The mystery experiment in the next few days will cost nothing. Fei, these are the teachers and I will reimburse you in advance."

   "Thank you, teacher!" Abner didn't mean to be polite. Although he still had 350 gold pounds on him, this amount of money may be a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but it is really a drop in the bucket for the extraordinary.

On the other side, Hugh saw Isinger turning his gaze to him again, and quickly waved his hands and declined: "You don't need to think about me. You were helping me in this matter, and I didn't help me... How am I embarrassed to divide the spoils..." She is not as cheeky as Abner, not to mention that Abner is a student of the other party, so even if he divides things, it is natural.

Eisinger laughed and pushed the three-sided thorn in front of Xio, without any doubt: "Miss Xio, don't be so innocent! Have you forgotten? You guessed that this'instigator' would commit murder in the bar. Why is it not helpful? Take it, I just identified it, this triangular thorn actually has a very general function, and there is only a toxin that is difficult to test, which is equivalent to a poisoned ordinary weapon. , Worthless."

   Xiu originally wanted to resign, but felt that it was not easy to accept it for this reason, so he had to accept the three-sided thorn, and silently decided to find an opportunity to return the favor.

After the three divided the "dirty thief", Detective Isinger didn’t know what abilities he had used, so he held the “instigator” Turner in his hands like nothing, and said to the two of Abner, “I’ll do it right now. Send him to the official, and you guys should go back to rest soon."

   Abner was waiting for the answer, but suddenly thought of something. He hesitated for a while and reminded him: "Teacher, you can give him to the Night Watcher or Mechanical Heart, but it is better not to go to MI9."

   Detective Isinger turned his head and wondered: "Why, is there any problem with MI9?"

   Abner thought for a while, and said in a careful tone: "There are some people in the military who seem to be doing population trading. I'm afraid they will be against you."

   "You mean there is military involvement behind this matter?" Isinger frowned and asked in confusion, "Why did they do this? And Abner, how did you know?"

   "My mother was also trafficked before... I did some research..." Abner lied half-truth.

   "That's it..." Detective Isinger nodded suddenly.

   Xiu looked at Abner with some pity. She did not expect the other party to have this unfortunate experience, but she did not think that her father was actually a victim of this incident, strictly speaking.

   "I see... Don't worry, your teacher, I know very well how to deal with officials!"

   Isinger said that they waved their hands, then lifted Turner and disappeared at the mouth of the well. His movements were agile, unlike an old man.

  Xiu and Abner waited for a while before returning to the ground from another exit of the sewer. As it was late, the carriage and subway were no longer in operation, and the two had to walk home.

   Xiu’s current rental house is in the bridge area, and he said goodbye to Abner halfway through.

   Watching Abner leave, Xio almost jumped up as soon as he turned around. Because a lady with slightly curly brown hair in a beige dress with stand-up collar was looking at her like a ghost less than a meter behind her.

   "Forsi, where did you "open the door" again? It scared me to death!" Xio let out a long sigh of relief after seeing who came.

"Do you know how worried I am if I don’t go home all day and night or leave a message? How can I think that you went out on a date with a man! Come on, who was that person just now?" Although this is a complaint, Foer The joking revealed in Si's pale blue eyes exposed the essence of her gossip. Of course she knew that Hugh was definitely going to do business, but she just wanted to see how embarrassed she looked.

Xiu heard this but had a serious face. She deeply knew that she could not argue with her friends on this kind of thing, otherwise it would only be her who would suffer, so she deliberately changed the subject in a fearful tone: "Forsi, Abner is me. Friends, and without his help today, I would probably not be able to come back..."

   Forsi was really taken aback by Xiu's words, and quickly asked, "What happened?"

   "This is a long story... Let's talk while walking!" While quietly relieved, Xio recounted what happened in the past two days. Of course, she did not reveal the identity of Isinger's detective, nor did she talk about the relationship between Abner and his apprentice, only that Abner asked a strong man to take the lead before catching the attacker.

"Hugh, we are best friends! You must tell me this kind of thing in the future. If I'm by your side, even if I can't beat the'instigator', you know, with this, I'm sure to take you away!" Forsi said, raising his bracelet, and then continued, "The curse badge should not have a large area of ​​influence. As long as you escape far enough, you will be safe."

   At this point, she didn't wait to answer, and changed the subject again, jokingly: "But the person named Abner obviously handles it better. He is willing to pay so much for you. Isn't it interesting to you?"

   Xiu shook his head, and said with certainty: "He doesn't have that mind!" This can be determined by Xiu as an ‘arbitrator’ regardless of his attitude or expression.

   "Then why did he help you so hard? According to what you said, you have only seen two or three sides?" As a roommate, Fors also knew that Xio's intuition was exceptionally accurate, so she became even more curious.

   "I don't know... but I always feel that he has known me for a long time..." Hugh is actually a little confused, but she can be sure that Abner is really not bad, so she doesn't plan to go into it.

  ...

   Abner fell asleep after returning to his residence in the Eastern District. This day was too exciting for him. In addition, he constantly opened his pure white eyes to study in the afternoon, which made him quite exhausted.

   But even so, early the next morning, he arrived at the subway station in the East District on time, and saw that Xiu Zao was already waiting there.

   They agreed to meet here in the morning when they parted last night.

   "Let you wait a long time!" Abner apologized. After all, he lives closer here.

   "It doesn't matter, let's go right away. The location is in the northern suburbs, which is a bit remote. Let's take the subway to the North District, and then transfer to the carriage!" Xio didn't care about the trivial matters, and went swiftly and authentically.

   speechless all the way, about forty minutes later, the two stopped in front of a remote and somewhat dilapidated manor.

   Aibuner took a look at this manor that looks like a horror film set, and hesitated: "This is where you said you can shoot for free?"

   Xiu nodded and replied: "There is a shooting range in the backyard of the manor... and I have the key to the back door."

   "Even if this place is dilapidated, it will be a manor near Backlund. There will be no people watching the house, right?" Will it be bombed out if it is discovered?

Hugh understood what Abner meant, and explained: "This is actually my family’s former holiday estate... After my father’s accident, it was sold to a wealthy businessman, but I don’t know why the people who lived here had accidents one after another, and there were reports of haunted things. The sound of the wind, this was ruined... Now there is only one old servant guarding here. He was originally my servant, a deaf and mute, and his father took good care of him at the time... So as long as he doesn't try to enter the house, the problem is not big."

   In other words, don't say he can't hear the sound of practicing guns, even if he hears it, he can sell you face and not care? It is worthy of being a descendant of the nobles of the palace, even if it is down, there are so many contacts! Abner quickly comprehended the essence of the talk.

   and Xiu confirmed something from Abner’s unsurprising expression:

   He really knows who my father is!

   He really knew me a long time ago!

   He seems to know a lot of secrets!

   Then, would he know why his father was wronged?
