宝书
The Tome
宝书是一本被诅咒的典籍，如今由侦探亚伯兰（亚伯兰）随身携带。它散发着恶意，亚伯兰曾坦言，得先弄明白怎么驾驭它，否则它迟早要了他的命；而一旦驾驭得当，他便能借它之力出手。纽约的暗处，不止一股势力在打听它的下落。
“亚伯兰……那本书正散发着恶意”
“Abrams…that tome is radiating malice.”
亚伯兰对它寸步不让，谁若想碰它，他都视作冒犯。
“我警告你，悖论… 如果你碰我的财产你不会喜欢接下来发生的事情”
“I'm warning you Paradox… you touch my property you won't like what happens next”
觊觎者
悖论的悖论（悖论）断言宝书终将归她所有。盖斯特夫人（盖斯特夫人）开口索要，亚伯兰却只答那是一本被诅咒的书。格瑞墓（格瑞墓）则说，自己的导师需要这本书。
“我的导师说她需要那本书”
“My mentor says she needs that tome.”
梵蒂冈的诛邪者（诛邪者）视其为邪恶之物，向亚伯兰索要，亚伯兰回敬说它并不属于梵蒂冈。沃督（沃督）的主张更决绝：必须销毁；亥芮护士在击倒亚伯兰时也说，那本书必须毁掉。亚伯兰也绝不肯让孤猎（孤猎）那样的人得到它；佩吉（佩吉）想看一眼，同样被他一口回绝。
“宝书很邪恶，侦探”
“That tome is evil, Detective.”
“那本书必须毁掉。”译
“That tome needs to be destroyed.”
劝诫与重负
柒（柒）对它着迷，却也警告它正把持有者拖向深渊；门侍（门侍）称之为无法承受的负担。灵魅（灵魅）劝他干脆卖掉，亚伯兰只说自己不能。赛凌（赛凌）断言这本书注定会害了他，所罗门（所罗门）则相信处理它一定另有办法。
“宝书正在把你拉入深渊，侦探，小心点”
“That tome is pulling you into deep waters Detective, be careful”
“看来我得跟这本书再纠缠一段时间了……”
“Looks like I'm stuck with this book for a little longer…”
两位守护神都认可亚伯兰扛住了宝书的重量，换作旁人未必做得到，也都说他终将卸下这副重担。
“只有你才有足够的力量承受这本宝书的重量… 亚伯兰侦探，很快你就会摆脱它”
“Only you were strong enough to bear the tome's weight, Detective Abrams… and soon you will be free of it.”
“你保护了宝书，其他人都做不到……但现在是你卸下重担的时候了”
“You protected the tome as no one else could… but the time has come for you to free yourself from its burden.”
条件却各不相同：源祖说，只有她能让他摆脱宝书，召唤她便可获得自由；隐王则说，待仪式完成，他会履行对亚伯兰的承诺。
“侦探亚伯兰…只有源祖才能让你摆脱这本宝书。召唤她，你就能获得自由”
“Detective Abrams…only The Archmother can relieve you of the tome. Summon her, and be free.”
“信任对你来说并不容易，亚伯兰…但要知道：当你完成仪式，隐王会履行他的承诺”
“Trust doesn't come easy for you, Abrams… but know this: when you complete the ritual; The Hidden King will honor his debt.”
城中传言
“没人能从我这儿拿走宝书…”
“No one's taking the tome from me…”
