Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 41: notes

   This mountain villa is built on a cliff, the other three sides are cliffs, only a wooden suspension bridge is connected to the outside road. At this time, the suspension bridge has been cut off! This has become an ‘isolated island’.

   Looking at such a scene, Abner felt a little familiar. Before he waited for something to say, the words written in Hermes were floating in front of him: "Identify the murderer. (Only one chance

"It seems that the eighth layer of the labyrinth this time is a crime-solving scene...The'only one chance' means that if you make a mistake, you will immediately be judged to have failed the level and exit the dream labyrinth." Mr. Gaston seemed to have After a similar experience, I explained a little bit.

   "Where is the murderer? Could it be in the villa?" Xio turned his head and looked at the obviously Loen-style building behind him, and suddenly felt that it resembled the Maygo Manor on the outskirts of Backlund.

   "Go in and take a look." After finishing speaking, Abner, who had some thoughts in his heart, opened the door and walked into the villa first.

   There are eight people gathered together in the villa, four men and four women. One of the men is a child who seems to be only six or seven years old.

   I don't know what kind of identity the Dream Labyrinth has arranged for the three of Abner. Their arrival did not arouse the suspicion of the people in the room.

   "Conan? I ran into him again!" At this moment, Mr. Gaston looked at the child with a ugly expression, and his usual steady tone rarely carried a hint of anger.

   Conan? When Abner heard the name, he immediately thought of the famous Reaper pupil, so he looked at the child carefully.

  A blue formal dress, a red bow tie, wide-frame glasses...The outfits match up, but this kid is obviously a Luen person, not at all like the Grim Reaper elementary school student. Moreover, the decorative furniture in the villa didn't have any modern flavor, and it looked a little behind Backlund.

   While Abner was full of suspicion, Hugh whispered next to him: "Mr. Gaston, is there anything special about this kid named Conan?"

"I have encountered him on the eighth floor twice, and even a few times in the ninth floor, I encountered him in the scene, and whenever I met him, my breakthrough ended in failure! This kid named Conan. It appeared in a scene where a murder occurred, and he was suspected to be an Extraordinary of the'Detective' sequence. His physical strength and arm strength were far beyond ordinary people. His glasses, bow tie, belt, watches, and shoes were also powerful extraordinary items! His reasoning ability is also very strong. Once he identifies the murderer first, our breakthrough will be judged as a failure! It's really..." Mr. Gaston took a deep breath, and didn't swear.

  Mr. Gaston seems to have suffered several losses in Conan's hands... While Xio thought so, he peeked at Abner.

At this time, Abner’s heart was full of WTF. If he was only a little suspicious of the so-called Conan before, after listening to Mr. Gaston, he could already be sure that this Conan was the Grim Reaper elementary school in his memory. . Even if the length is relatively small!

   Then he determined something that he had already guessed--this "Dreamland Labyrinth Tower" was really built by Emperor Roselle!

"He won't transform all the animations, movies, TV series, etc. that have not had time to plagiarize into dream maze scenes, right? Speaking of the ninth floor, the routine of the fireplace heating up in the escape room seems to be in which film and television works. I’ve seen... and now this scene, I’m afraid it’s not a childhood shadow event in Conan tv?” Abner thought of this, but suddenly a flash of inspiration, thought of other things, said in his heart, “So, many scenes I’m probably very familiar with the plot... Maybe I can’t stop on the seventh floor. With a good understanding of the scene, the sixth floor will not be so dangerous."

He was thinking here. The original four men and four women on the other side of the house were discussing the matter of a bandage weird, because this man just launched an attack on Conan’s sister in the small woods outside. Although it did not succeed, it took everyone They were very scared.

   "This bandage weird may be the so-called murderer, he seems to have not succeeded yet, should we ambush in advance to see if we can catch him?" Xio suggested after eavesdropping. Although she still can't use her extraordinary abilities, it's not a problem to hit one or two ordinary people to herself.

"It's not that simple...The cases in which Conan is involved are very complicated. This kind of bandage weird who seems to be a murderer is often the first to die. I think we should keep an eye on everyone except Conan and his sister. They may all be murderers!" Mr. Gaston shook his head and said with deep eyes. He seems to have Conan PTSD.

   At this time, Abner came back to his senses, he smiled at Xiu, and then took a step forward, confidently saying: "Don't be so troublesome, I know who the murderer is!" Because I have watched this episode!

   And once the murderer’s belly is examined carefully, it is easy to see a little disharmony.

   "What?" Mr. Gaston really yelled out in surprise this time. He had never seen a detective able to solve a crime in this way. He could lock the murderer with just two eyes? No, it is the murderer who has not committed the crime...Is this reliable?

   Mr. Gaston’s cry also attracted the eyes of Conan and others, and they all looked at Abner in surprise.

Abner didn’t sell too much, pointing directly to the fat man with a big face, and said in one breath: “He’s a bandage weirdo. He’s actually not fat. His belly is filled with cotton or something like that to make it easier for him to commit the crime. Hidden things have not been found out. And the reason why he wanted to attack this young lady was because she had seen him change clothes and might have discovered his secret."

  Ebner’s words made everyone around him look at the ‘fat guy’ in shock, and even two other adult men have already sandwiched him one by one.

Immediately afterwards, when the fat man showed a gloomy expression, he took out the filling from his stomach...At this moment, the surrounding scenes suddenly shattered, and the villas, cliffs, Conan and other scenes were all gone. Abner III People fall into the rewards again.

  Dreamland Labyrinth only requires the identification of the murderer, and no evidence is required.

Mr. Gaston was still in a dream until now, and after a long while, he said with emotion: "Is the true value of my 1,000 pounds, the detectives are so powerful? I thought that Conan was the most powerful of the detectives! Nothing! think……"

   The detectives who have seen the plot must be so good! After Abner sneered, he ignored Mr. Gaston, who had gone astray with his understanding of the profession of detectives, and went straight to the seat in front of the bookcase. He couldn't wait to know what the reward was this time.

   Xiu is not surprising, since he met Abner, he has been so ‘unexpected’.

   As soon as he sat down, there was an extra note in Abner's hand-"Ernos' Occult Records"

   "This time it seems to be given knowledge..." Thinking like this in his heart, Abner opened his notebook and read it carefully. This is no better than a novel. Abner always respects knowledge, especially after the letter is transferred.

After reading the last page of the notes, he habitually squeezed his chin with his fingers, and thought: "This person named Ernos should be a'sorcerer' of the hermit pathway sequence 7. I have learned part of ritual magic and occult knowledge a long time ago. Only the last ritual of borrowing power from high-level extraordinary items to make spells is a bit interesting, because this ritual magic bypasses the step of praying to the gods!"

  Ebner values ​​not the specific method of making the spell, but the idea of ​​making it. For the "White Tower" extraordinary person who is good at using ritual magic ~lightnovelpub.net~, with a novel idea, he can create a more suitable production method.

"Originally, because I was not willing to pray to the gods, I couldn't make items that contact the source castle... But according to this idea, I can borrow power from the pure white eye to complete it! Its personality is high enough, and I The knowledge of the Goulian Yuanbao was originally analyzed by it. It should be no problem to temporarily give an item...I just want to experiment, I am afraid that I will have to be promoted to Sequence 7. The spirituality of the'reasoning student' is still too weak. It simply cannot support such a ceremony."

   Although it is regrettable that it cannot be implemented for the time being, Abner is still very satisfied with the rewards on the eighth floor. This ‘Dreamland Labyrinth Tower’ is really generous to those who pass the level for the first time.

   Turning his head, Abner noticed that Hugh beside him also curled his eyebrows with a smile, and looked very happy.

   "What did you get?" Abner asked curiously.

   "The reward is a biography, but it mentions the name of one of the main materials in the'sheriff' potion formula!" Xio replied cheerfully.

   The two main materials of the sheriff seem to have been mentioned in the novel of "The Lord of Mysteries"... I will find an excuse to tell Xiu well in a few days. Abner thought so in his heart, but asked, "Whose biography is it? Maybe there are other clues hidden."

"It's the biography of a sailor of the Royal Navy named Irland. It tells how he was promoted from an ordinary sailor to a sailor. At the end of the biography, he retired and became the captain of a passenger ship." Hugh said here again. A little confused muttered to himself, "It's another unfinished story...Why do I always encounter this kind of thing that is lost in the middle of writing?"

   Maybe it’s because you often remind Forsi? Abner made a funny comment in his heart.
