The reason he had preset seeing "Arrodes" as one of the "triggers" for recovering his memories was that Abner felt that by the time he saw this mirror, everything would most likely have been settled, and there would be no need to seal anything away anymore.
Besides, he was also afraid that after forgetting the parts concerning Arrodes's awful personality, he might get curious and recklessly ask it questions, which would be disastrous...
Yet at this moment, the Abner who had recovered his memories showed a hint of disappointment and annoyance in his eyes...
After all, the reason he had hinted to himself that he should forget certain things was so that he could catch the Desire Apostle off guard and eliminate him, completely resolving the threat to his teacher...
But in the end, because he feared the Demigod Demoness behind him, he had merely driven him away... This somewhat went against his original intention.
As for that Demoness, she was most likely Despair Nightingale Panatiya. In the original story, it was probably she who had lured away the Spellsinger of God, creating an opportunity for the Desire Apostle to kill Duke Negan.
While Abner was deep in thought, Detective Isengard also began chatting with the members of the Machinery Hivemind.
He clearly knew Ikanser as well, so he took the initiative to greet him. "Ikanser, long time no see. Your hairstyle is still as eccentric as ever."
Ikanser instinctively smoothed down his stiff, upright brown hair with his hand. But the moment his hand left, the strands stubbornly sprang back up.
He gave up struggling and said helplessly, "Isengard, this isn't a pleasant topic."
As he spoke, he casually placed the silver mirror on the table, then signaled to a team member behind him to prepare to take notes.
