Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 42: Layer 7

"I don't know what the secret of the labyrinth on the seventh floor will be. Mr. Fool...No, this kind of luck depends on the **** of knowledge. I hope I am more familiar..." Abner was waiting for Gas As Mr. Dong read its rewards, he secretly prayed.

   Don't look at him as if Zhizhu was holding the two previous levels, he found the key to passing the level all at once. But that's just cheating. It is actually very difficult to objectively talk about the first two scenes!

   The ninth level is okay. I searched the house patiently, and after all, I could find the password. But the heating device is also a hidden danger. One is inattentive, afraid that it will become dehydrated and lose the ability to move.

And on the eighth level, not to mention how complicated the case itself is. It was extremely difficult to find the murderer before Conan. If Abner knew the plot, he would not dare to say that he was more than Conan with his current logic and observation abilities. Strong.

   It’s no wonder that Mr. Gaston usually rarely clears the level on the eighth floor.

   "Okay, let's continue." Just as Abner was thinking about it, Mr. Gaston had already stood up again.

   The three of them did not delay any longer, and resolutely stepped onto the seventh floor of the passage.

As the scene changed, Abner found himself in a dim wooden room, but the "ground" under his feet was unusually bumpy. This feeling was very familiar to him. He was on the deck of the "Wancheng Glory" a few days ago. There is often this feeling of instability.

   "So, is this a scene on a sea boat?"

Before he had time to think about it, a bad wind hit from behind. Abner, who already had the "Knowledger" fighting master technique, didn't panic about this. He flashed an attack on one side of his body, and then naturally Stretching out his leg to catch the assailant's foot, the man immediately fell to the ground due to an unstable center of gravity.

   Abner seized the opportunity to bully him up, pressed the back of the opponent's neck with his knees, and snatched the long sword in his hand.

   After doing this, he looked around and found that Xio had also cut a sailor-like man at this time. And Mr. Gaston was even more decisive, and took out his revolver to directly kill the villain who rushed towards him.

Although there were faint sounds of fighting from outside the cabin, the cabin was quiet. Abner cautiously opened the pure white eyes and went back to the scene. After confirming that there was no danger for the time being, he held the long sword against it. The assailant asked, "Where is this? Why are you attacking me?"

   But the man who fell to the ground did not answer. Instead, there was a human-like sound of "Ho" and "Ho" in his throat, and his eyes became bloodshot and flushed.

   Ebner frowned when he saw this, and looked at the captive on Hugh's side, and found that the person was in the same state as he was pressing.

   "Are they crazy? Or are they mentally stimulated?" Xiujian couldn't ask anything. After knocking out the captives, he guessed,

   "Are all the people in the boat going crazy? Then what are our conditions?" Abner was also full of doubts.

   At this time, Mr. Gaston pointed his finger at a note on the cabin table, and said: "The conditions for clearance should be there."

   Abner also learned the same as Hugh and knocked out the captives, then walked to the table and picked up the note and took a look:

   "Find out the real cause of the internal conflict on board."

"Most of the time, the conditions for clearance are written directly in front of our eyes, but sometimes they are also displayed in other forms, such as this note. For example, when I encountered Conan before, the condition was to hang on an airship. It appeared on the banner you were holding..." Mr. Gaston walked over at this moment and shot twice at the captive who had been stunned by Abner and then continued, "You can see that you are not quite comfortable with killing. , But whether it is in the dream maze or in the real mysterious world, you should abandon that innocence as soon as possible. Hehe, in my opinion, taking advantage of the dream scene will not really die, it does not hurt to practice more to adapt. What's more, most of these attackers are scumbags, not to mention that they are not real'human beings' either."

  Ebner and Hugh looked at each other, knowing that Mr. Gaston’s remarks made sense, and he was sincerely doing them for their good. So he was humbly taught, and decided to stop holding hands when there was a fight for a while. Of course, this is not against their own principles of dealing with things, and they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

After    gradually became enlightened, the three of them walked out of the cabin one by one, and came to a remote side deck under cover.

   It was night at this time, the dark clouds in the sky were very thick, blocking the crimson, the deck was dark and the visibility was very low.

Seeing that no enemies appeared, Abner habitually found loopholes in the clearance conditions and asked: "Is there no time limit on the clearance conditions? If we wait for the ship to dock, let the night watcher or the penalty person check it out. Is it okay to halt the truth?"

"Impossible, although it is not clearly written, but most scenes have a time limit! For example, the Conan scene encountered on the eighth floor must be identified before he can reason about the murderer, otherwise it will be judged as a failure. Here should be It's similar." Mr. Gaston shook his head in denial. This hidden rule has cheated him several times.

   They were talking, but suddenly there was a man's unwilling roar and the woman's intermittent sobbing from the corner ahead, and then another man's gasp sound accompanied by the sound of clothes tearing...

   After spending so long in the East Side Tavern, Hugh quickly realized what had happened. She and Abner looked at each other, and both took out the revolver at the same time and rushed to the corner. Mr. Gaston walked behind, guarding against an attack from the other direction.

The goal was a scene that made Hugh angry. A man was nailed to the outer wall of the cabin by a long sword, and two decently dressed men were tearing the bond of a lady on the ground with grim expressions. Long dress.

This time, Xio didn’t hesitate, or even wanted to waste bullets on these two scumbags. Instead, a dash deceived the two villains, and before each other didn’t react, he used the three-sided thorns hidden in the sleeves. It hurt their necks.

The lady who had been torn off most of her clothes was stunned for a while, and then rushed to the man who was nailed to the wall, crying loudly: "My dear! Please! Please wake up... don't leave it behind. I."

Seeing such a scene, Xio felt very uncomfortable, her eyes had already been covered with a layer of mist, she retreated to Abner's side, deliberately changed the subject: "The seventh layer suppresses extraordinary abilities as much as before. Now, I can use most of the abilities of the'arbitrator'. But the'prejudgment ring' given by Mr. Stanton cannot be used yet."

   In response, Abner just nodded slightly without responding. Because it makes no difference to him, what if the combat effectiveness of the "reader" is restored? The premise is that the ‘reader’ has combat effectiveness! And he was always able to use extraordinary abilities when the pure white eyes were opened.

After crying for a while, the lady picked up a dagger dropped by the murderer, pointed it at her abdomen, struggling a little on her face, as if she wanted to commit suicide, and was afraid of pain, so she didn’t dare to do it. .

But Xio didn’t give her a chance to make a choice, so he shot the dagger directly, and comforted: “You have to live strong! It’s because he put his life to protect you before, so you can’t live up to his sacrifice. Live!"

   Although she knew that this lady was not a real ‘person’, and probably guessed that this scene might have been reset for so many times, she still couldn’t bear to see the other person die in despair and grief.

The lady listened to what Xiu said, looked at the man nailed to the wall and was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said: "Miss, you are right! I have to live! I want revenge for my dear! Send all the beasts on this ship to be shot!"

   Seeing her mood gradually stabilized, Abner stepped forward and asked, "What happened on this boat? How come so many villains run rampant?"

   "Don't you even know?" the lady asked in amazement.

  The intelligence of the characters in this dream maze is so high that they would even doubt that they are much better than Conan's scene. Abner thought so in his heart, but on the surface vaguely said: "We have been sleeping in the upper cabin, and when we woke up we found that people were crazy..."

The woman nodded and didn't know if she believed it or not, but she still answered Abner's previous question: "It has to be five days after our Sativa left Caesars Harbor, we encountered the terrible pirate-Na Speaking of..."

   "'Nast of the Five Seas'?!" Both Xiu and Abner exclaimed. UU read www.uukanshu.com and the latter felt that the name'Clover' was also very familiar, and seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Yes, Nast, the King of the Five Seas, claimed to be a descendant of the Solomon Empire. He adhered to the virtue of not killing captives. Because of this, we were only looted of money and did not lose our lives. His men even Leave enough food for us..." At this point, the lady looked at the two people in front of her in a puzzled manner. Even if she slept soundly, she wouldn't be unaware of a pirate attack, right? Nast's men have searched every cabin.

   Abner also knew that he was suspicious, but what he cared about was that this scene was actually derived from reality, and maybe it was a real thing that happened.

"Everyone lost not too much property... I originally thought the bad luck had passed, but during the voyage, the passengers and crew of the Sativa suddenly broke out in fierce infighting, from disputes to fights to Pull out the revolver, raise the straight sword, and kill each other... They quickly become completely crazy, not only killing people at the sight, but also wantonly assaulting ladies, torturing the weak... and some real perverts spilling limbs, hearts and intestines all over the ground. Yes!" When describing this, the lady bit her lip, seeming to use her anger to drive away her weakness and fear.

   But at this time, Abner stopped paying attention to these details. He already understood what was going on, so he only asked inexplicably at the end: "Do you know what date it is today?"

   "Huh?" The lady almost didn't turn the corner when asked by this question, and only replied after a long while, "It should be July 1."

   Hearing this answer, Abner looked at the dark clouds in the sky, exhaled, and said to himself:

   "Maybe...this is what is happening!"
