Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 287: The Joker and the Nightmare

"Mystery: Start with the reader(

Fortunetellers, apprentices, and thieves are indeed interchangeable... and these three paths are likely to be related to the space above the gray fog...

Hearing "Tower"'s explanation, Klein nodded calmly, but he immediately complained in his heart:

What does it mean to fall into the category of "weird" because of the "weird" means? Isn't the means of "alien" and "demon" even more "weird"? Why don't you join this category!

This reason is too far-fetched, right? It's just for fear that others won't see you being perfunctory!

After making complaints, Klein also carefully analyzed the other party's motives for doing so:

Why is the "tower" who always likes to show off knowledge so perfunctory? Wait, could it be because of... me?

Yes, I am the "Fool". According to what the "Tower" said before, I am at the top of the "Fortuneteller" approach. He is scrupulous about me, so I dare not explain it in detail!

Mr. "Tower", I don't really care, please be sure to talk more.

"The Hanged Man" Alger also noticed "Tower"'s perfunctory attitude, but he came to the above conclusion one step faster than "The Fool" himself.

He wanted to figure out the possible internal connection by himself, but after serious reflection, he actually found that his understanding of these three pathways was superficial, and even only roughly understood some of the abilities of Sequence 9 and Sequence 8, no matter how much he knew nothing. ...

It seems that the Beyonders of these three paths rarely appear... According to the "law of conservation of the adjacent paths of Beyonder characteristics" just explained by Mr. Fool... Does it mean that there are many high-sequence Beyonders in these three paths, and they are very concentrated?

Just as Alger was thinking about it, Miss Justice had roughly digested Abner’s words, and she nodded with restraint and grace: "Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Tower."

She doesn’t know much about most of the extraordinary ways, so although she feels that Mr. Tower’s description of the “weird” category is too simple, she does not have as deep knowledge of Klein and Alger...

Moreover, she actually only wants to know the conclusion. As for why, there is no need to go into it at present.

Abner nodded in return and smiled and said, "You are welcome, Miss Justice."

In fact, Klein thought too much. The reason why he was so perfunctory was purely because he didn't know how to explain it.

Could it be said that these three paths are the paths derived from "the master of mystery, the beacon of time and space, the incarnation of the source castle, and the dominator of the spirit world"?

Or should I talk about the difference between "worm of time", "worm of spirit" and "worm of star" in detail?

Or do you really talk to Klein about the three ways of "theft and fraud", "door lock picking", and "intelligence threatening" in the "detention center"?

Obviously they are all out of date, and this knowledge obviously cannot be revealed prematurely.

After a short silence for a few seconds, Audrey looked sideways at Mr. "Fool". Seeing that this mysterious strong man had nothing to add, she seemed to have acquiesced that the knowledge mentioned by Mr. "Tower" was not wrong, so she While rest assured, he looked at Alger on the opposite side and asked expectantly:

"Mr.'The Hanged Man', my information allowed you to solve the lieutenant general'Hurricane'. Are you ready for the complete pituitary gland of an adult Colorful Lizard?"

This is one of the reasons why I returned to the sea... Alger nodded slightly and said:

"I have obtained the extraordinary material you want.

"After the party is over, I will'sacrifice' it to Mr. Fool."

"Okay." Audrey replied briskly.

After asking about the materials, Miss Justice was in a good mood to ask Mr. Fool about the two “candidate” members of the Tarot Society she recommended last time.

I haven't received their prayers... Could it be the honorific name of "The Fool" that I chanted in the days when I "dead", so I didn't receive it? But then there should be a "message"...

Secretly looking at the crimson stars around him, and after confirming that there was no "prayer" message, Klein leaned back, pretending to be calm and said: "They haven't recited my honorable name."

Ah... Didn't Hugh and Forsi actually enter my "arrangement"?

Audrey was a little dumbfounded when she heard the words, and immediately became a little upset, thinking that she might have thought things too simple before.

"Judgement" Xiu watched this scene quietly, and it took a lot of effort to maintain the posture that "Miss Nobleman" should have, and did not laugh out loud...

After that, she took a deep breath and couldn't help thinking in her heart:

Should we find an opportunity to report this misunderstanding to Mr. Fool? Although with his insight, I'm afraid I already know that I am among the people recommended by Miss Justice...but the initiative to report is a matter of attitude, and Mr. Fool must not be allowed to think that I am deliberately "following" Miss Audrey.

After a while of exchanges, the party ended, "The Sun," "The Hanged Man," "Tower," "Trial," and "Justice" each returned, while Klein continued to stay above the gray mist, waiting for the sacrifice.

...

In Backlund Queens, Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

Soon after Audrey finished the ceremony of accepting the "given", she saw a soft thing on the "altar" that was constantly changing and full of colors and gully.

"Colorful lizard dragon's pituitary gland!" Audrey was overjoyed, her eyes lit up, and she was about to take it forward.

But her etiquette and habits immediately controlled her, and Audrey once again sincerely praised Mr. Fool.

After the ceremony was over, she couldn't wait to step forward and carefully observed the extraordinary material five times.

Then she looked at the door guardedly, seemingly afraid that Susie would come in suddenly.

A few minutes later, Audrey had a bottle of fluid that was constantly changing in gloss, which seemed to shine into everyone's heart.

She confidently drank the bottle of "mind reader" potion, passed the stage of integration of extraordinary characteristics smoothly, and was promoted.

...

In a hotel in the northern area of ​​Enmat Port, Abner, who had just participated in the "Tarot Club", opened his eyes, he felt it for a while, and then muttered to himself seemingly satisfied:

"The spirituality has changed slightly, the potion seems to have been digested a little..."

"Sure enough, one of the rules for playing the role of ‘Poly Scholar’ is to use one’s own knowledge to solve other people’s problems.

"But this is obviously one-sided, otherwise there won't be only this feedback."

As for the question of why the society can also get feedback on the role played in the "Source Castle", Abner has also roughly figured it out.

After all, "Poly Scholar" is different from "Knowledge Keeper". The latter focuses more on "Knowledge", with the purpose of keeping "knowledge" from being lost. Although Abner's code of the former has not been fully summarized, it generally focuses on It is based on "erudition" to solve the problem.

Therefore, as the "Knowledge Keeper" at the beginning, no matter how he spread knowledge in the "Source Castle", there would be no feedback. Because "Yuanbao" itself is a "hidden" environment, the knowledge there is not said, and even divination is not possible, so naturally there will be no feedback.

But "Polymajor" is different. Although Abner suspects that "Source Fort" still blocks some "feedback", at least the "problem solving" part can be played on "Source Fort".

After thinking about it for a while, Abner roughly speculated about several ways of "playing", intending to verify it later, but now the timing is wrong, but it is not appropriate to play.

After lifting the spiritual wall, he took a bath in the hotel to clear the discomfort caused by digging the grave the night before, and then ordered a special delicacy of Enmat and ate it as dinner.

After it was completely dark, Abner suddenly remembered something he had neglected before, and hurried out of the hotel, called a carriage to the "Church of Abundance."

It turned out that because the Tarot meeting was just around the corner, he had forgotten to retrieve the "Joker" mask lent to Dunn.

It's not that he was reluctant to bear the mask. After being promoted to "Mermaids" and able to simulate the ability of Sequence 6 with relative ease, the "Joker" mask is actually of little use to him.

But the mask has the characteristics of being alive, and the temperament can be said to be very bad. Once a week, "Source Fort", after being "trained" by Mr. Fool, it will be honest for a while, otherwise it will force the holder to do something very unusual. Thing.

And last week coincided with the death of Klein, this mask has not had time to go above the gray fog to receive the education of Mr. Fool~lightnovelpub.net~ Although the "Yuwei" of "Yuanbao" is still there, there is also Abner. The "Pure White Eyes" suppression, it has been "honest" before, but who can guarantee that it will not attack Dunn in the time when it is leaving?

After hurriedly rushing to the "Church of Abundance" against the darkness, as soon as Abner pushed open the door of the church, he saw Dunn, who was transformed into "Thank you Stark", standing in front of the preaching stage, holding his hand. Throwing a stack of papers on the ground, he opened his arms and announced loudly to the crowd that filled the prayer hall:

"I am'Iron Man'!"

...

"Name: Joker mask.

Function: Change the appearance to the appearance of another set person.

Negative effect: It has the characteristic of being ‘alive’, it will look forward to your performance after putting on the mask. The content and venue of the performance are related to the characters disguised by the person wearing it.

Note: The performance must be diligent, otherwise once it is not satisfied, it will actively control your body to perform the performance it wants! Once you wear it for more than two hours, you may be replaced by your character, and your spirit may be split. (Bring it into the fog once a week, no negative effects and precautions exist

...

Seeing the scene before him, Abner's mouth twitched slightly. He stroked his forehead and said to the suspected "lazy" lady who came by with a smile while applauding: "Miss Pastor, how do I feel that his mental problems are getting worse? It's serious..."

The lady with long brown hair showed the dimples at the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile, "Do you think you are scared?"

"A little bit..." Abner thought for a while and answered honestly.

‘Then it’s okay...Don’t you think he played the ‘Nightmare’ well? The lady with long brown hair means a lot of authenticity.
