Mystery: Start with the Reader

Late at night, at the door of a villa in the St. George district of Backlund.

Talim, who had come nearby, looked at his pocket watch and saw that the agreed time had arrived, so he mustered up his courage and rang the doorbell of this house without a trace of light.

Speaking of which, why does Ms. Lina live in such a gloomy place? And we have to meet in the middle of the night... Could it be that she is the witch or banshee that often appears in those horror stories?

I should have hired Sherlock here...

No, no, if something really scary happens, hiring Sherlock will actually hurt him...

Talim, who was blown cold by the night wind, became terrified belatedly, and his mind couldn't stop thinking about it.

At this moment, the door of the villa was pushed open, and a young man dressed in neutral clothes came out with a lamp. After carefully identifying Talim's appearance, he said politely: "Mr. Dumont, Come with me, Ms. Lina is waiting for you in the living room."

Talim's full name is Talim Dumont. He was originally a son of a nobleman and had the title of Viscount in his ancestors. Unfortunately, his family property was squandered by his grandfather.

Talim looked at the other party for a long time, but couldn't tell whether it was a gentleman or a lady in front of him, so he said vaguely: "I'm sorry."

"You're welcome." The young man replied softly, and then led the prince's friend into the villa.

To Talim's surprise, the villa, which looked dark outside, was brightly lit, and he couldn't help putting his hands on his eyebrows before his eyes got used to it.

After following the young man all the way to the living room, Talim saw the old friend of His Royal Highness, Miss Lina at a glance.

I have to say that Miss Lina's temperament is actually somewhat similar to the lady that His Royal Highness is currently obsessed with. Both are so quiet, elegant, and equally beautiful...

It's a pity that no one of them can become the prince's wife!

After Talim sighed secretly, he took the initiative to say hello to Lina.

After Lina got up to return the gift, she didn't exchange any more greetings, and went straight to the topic:

"Is it Edsac who has something to ask you to bring to me?

"Hehe, I guess it will never be good news... Is he going to break up with me?"

This... Miss, since you are so smart,

It doesn't look like being blinded by love, so why bother? Talim was puzzled, but on the surface he gritted his teeth, and didn't mention the prince's unfeeling words, but tactfully advised:

"Ms. Lina... I think you should know that the spouse of His Royal Highness can only be a noble lady... such as Earl Hall's daughter..."

Before he finished speaking, Lina interrupted directly: "I have no intention of becoming his wife... My goal from the beginning to the end is to keep that 'witch' from getting close to Edsaac."

Witch? How could that thoughtful, kind, elegant, and beautiful girl be a witch? Speaking of which, you who met me in the middle of the night looked more like a witch—if this was a gloomy old castle instead of a bright villa.

After complaining a few words in his heart, Talim shook his head and said, "But that young lady has already accepted my suggestion and is willing to leave His Royal Highness..."

"Leave? She really wants to...Unfortunately, she can't help herself!" Lina sighed helplessly, and then said, "Do you know why I want to talk to you at this time?"

Talim, who was confused by these words, subconsciously said, "Why?"

"Because only in the middle of the night, I can use an item to temporarily escape the 'fate' of being manipulated...but not every time I succeed..." Lina explained meaningfully.

"Manipulating" fate? What is this mess? Talim felt that there might be something wrong with Ms. Lina's spirit, and couldn't help but worry.

"Talk to you and you won't understand... In short, you just need to try your best to help the considerate, kind, elegant, and beautiful girl you mentioned after you go back... Maybe she has the ability to break this 'fate' Maybe." After Lina finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and motioned for the young man beside her to see off the guests.

The young man was a little confused at first, then he was shocked and said yes, and then he took Talim out who was still confused.

After there was no one in the living room, Lina waited quietly for a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

...

Above the gray mist, Klein, who watched the whole conversation with the help of the young man "Xiao Ke"'s vision, frowned deeply.

"What does this Lina mean? Since she has the means to block '0-08', why did she call Talim and tell him specifically? Is it effective to test that method?

"No... There is a risk of leaking the secret! After all, if the prince is the center of the plan, Talim should be the person Ince focuses on... Even if he is blocked in the villa, once he leaves there, there is a high probability that he will Known by '0-08'.

"Unless she is deliberately revealing information to '0-08'! This... maybe this is a 'strategic fraud'?

"She should indeed have the means to resist the '0-08' arrangement, but it probably doesn't have to be in the villa, it doesn't have to be in the middle of the night, and there is no chance of resistance... This is just false news she deliberately revealed!

"However, since I will be suspicious because of this, does Ince have no idea?

"Well... I may have overlooked an important issue before... That is, although Ince Zangwill is in charge of '0-08', the sealed item must have terrible side effects. Messages are shown to the 'master', especially when the 'master' is not around!

"...Perhaps, Lina chose late at night because she had tried before and discovered some rules, so she carried out 'deception' at this point in time, hoping that the sealed item would cooperate with her?

"She knows more about '0-08' than I do... If '0-08' is really behind the scenes...

"Who told her? The old man who gave her the 'Fallen Morning Star'? Who is he?"

Klein, who had no idea after thinking for a long time, reluctantly paused his thinking, and said to himself:

"Maybe that 'Iron Man' who also has a grudge against Ince knows something...

"Well, although Mr. 'Tower' is very principled, he is unwilling to disclose the identity of 'Iron Man'...but I can ask him to ask for me...

"Next time in the Tarot Club, I will talk to him alone... As for the reward, I happen to have the 'Judge' feature that Ms. 'Judgment' needs here! I think with the close relationship between the two, Mr. 'Tower' will definitely not Mind swapping for Miss Judgment."

...

Bayam.

Busy days always go by so fast, it seems that in just a blink of an eye, the time has come to Sunday.

This morning, Abner had just made the "werewolf" characteristic entrusted by Jane into an extraordinary item, and a sparkling fire was lit above the teleportation altar in the basement. Immediately afterwards, the appearance of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina before his eyes.

"The 'Golden Dream' has arrived in the waters near the city of Gurain in East Balam."
