Mystery: Start with the Reader

　　 "He was backlashed by the sealed object and his mobility was limited. It was less than a day, and he was unlikely to run very far. According to the scene I just looked back on, he didn't board the subway, but went straight out of the station!"

　　 "Being backlashed by the sealed artifacts of the'demon' sequence, people generally long for human souls with strong desires to sacrifice to the devil in order to quell their backlash against themselves."

　　 "Then Abner, the question is, where do you think the people around here have the strongest desires and are the easiest to kill?"

　　 Detective Isinger leads the way while telling his analysis to the two Abners around him, and asks questions with interest.

　　 "The desire is the strongest... Is he in a nearby brothel or aristocratic mansion?" Abner thought for a while.

　　 Isinger was speechless, his students are juxtaposing the prostitutes and the nobles? He had to remind him: "There are more than one human desires... and this is the Joe Wood area, and there are no brothels... But there may be bodyguards in the residences of nobles and wealthy merchants. It is easy to kill people rashly without investigation. failure."

　　 Abner was thoughtful when he heard the words. He is a traverser after all, and his knowledge of the world and the city is very superficial. It is normal to speculate wrong without experience.

At this time, Xio interjected directly: "It's a bar! Although there is no brothel in the Joewood area, many women who are hungry for money will go to high-end bars to find their goals! And the fishy men will naturally go there...Plus the bars are definitely There are underground casinos and all kinds of food, drink, and fun projects, where the people with desires are the most!"

"Yes, the little girl is right! There are a total of four bars in the entire Jorwood area. One is far away from here and can be ruled out. The other two are very high-end which not only require an introducer to enter, but are also close to the Holy Wind Cathedral. It’s not too far away. It’s very possible to encounter members of the Penalty Penalty Team who relax and have fun inside. This can also be ruled out. The last one is the Blue Spirit Bar three blocks away, and the traces I found point to it!" Ai Singer nodded approvingly.

　　...

　　 In the corner of the Blue Spirit Bar, two groups of five or six drunks are holding up wine bottles and confronting each other. They scolded at first, then scolded more and more unpleasantly. But in a shadow that no one noticed beside them, a figure appeared quietly. With a cruel smile on his face, the figure raised the three-sided thorn in his hand, trying to take advantage of the chaos to create a murderous case and let the situation completely out of control.

　　 He succeeded, the sudden blood made the two sides who were already at a fight completely red eyes, each took up the weapon at hand and hit each other, the scene was even more chaotic!

　　 And that figure appeared on the edge of these people from time to time, and every time it appeared, it would take away a life.

After the dozen or so people were all lying down in a pool of blood, he cautiously appeared in a shadow outside the bar. After wiping the blood from the three-sided thorn, the assassin suddenly felt something was wrong, because The big conflict just now didn't cause the security of the bar to intervene, and he didn't even think of such a big flaw until now!

　　 At this point, he made a decisive decision to sneak into the shadows and escape from here.

　　 It is a pity that his sneak action failed! At the same time, there seemed to be a faint command in ancient Hermes language from his ear: Shadows are forbidden to sneak in here.

　　 "Judge"! "nightmare"! These two words appeared in his mind, making him terrified. How could he let a Sequence 6 and a Sequence 7 work together to deal with them.

　　 Before he could finish his thoughts, he smelled a nice floral scent in his nose, and he heard a bad voice, but before he could react, he was completely unconscious.

　　 Until then, an illusory curtain seemed to shatter, and the people who had died in the fight raised their glasses to fight each other again, and there were fiery appearances everywhere, as if the fire just now was just a dream.

"It's really a dream! The combination of Nightmare + Judge + Pharmacist's abilities, so quietly, won a transcendent of at least Sequence 8. And this is still in the situation that these abilities are much weaker than the original version. under…"

　　Aibner and Hugh secretly moved the captives to a nearby remote alley, while being terrified by the methods of the detective Isinger.

At this time, Isinger took off the ring he was wearing, and introduced to the two with a smile: "This is an extraordinary item of mine. It used to be code-named '2-081', derived from An out-of-control sequence 6 of a'reader' approach, it allows me to identify, see clearly, remember and simulate all the extraordinary abilities I have seen. The stronger the extraordinary ability I face, the higher the probability of failure. Of course, even if it succeeds , There must be a big gap with the original version."

Abner knew about this a long time ago, so he didn't care about it, but secretly poked in his heart, thinking that since this ring was made by the extraordinary characteristics of the transcendent, he might really be able to parse the potion formula from it with pure white eyes. Observe more when you come to the teacher's home to study.

　　 and Xiu asked inexplicably: "'2-081'?" She is not an official Extraordinary, so naturally she doesn't know the meaning of the code name.

　　 "Many magical objects have obvious hidden dangers and can cause certain harm. Therefore, the churches of the seven orthodox gods are collecting and sealing them, calling them ‘sealed objects’ and distinguishing them by number codes."

"After long disputes and exchanges, the Church of the Seven Gods has formed a unified nomenclature, using '0', '1', '2', and '3' to identify different levels of danger. Among them, the level of '0' is the most dangerous. It is said to be some terrible items that can destroy the country and even the world."

"The churches of the seven orthodox gods will inform each other on the '0' level and '1' level sealed artifacts, telling each other what they have, so the code names of '0' level and '1' level will not be repeated,' Level 2'and level '3' are ranked separately, and different churches may have the same code name."

　　 Isinger briefly explained a few words. In the process, the three people dragged the attacker to a corner of a deep alley. The great detective knelt down and opened a manhole cover on the ground, revealing a dark pit.

　　 "This is one of the safe houses I dug, don't worry, there is no danger."

　　Xiu and Abner looked at each other when they heard the words, took a deep breath and jumped down. On the other hand, Isinger supported the ladder on the side of the pothole to climb down the steps, and easily pulled the manhole cover back to its original position.

　　 After lighting the candle, Abner discovered that this is not a real well, but a cave about 20 square meters in size and four meters in depth. There is a door on the east side of the cave, I don't know where it leads to.

"That leads to the real sewer nearby! If it is blocked by someone, there is an emergency exit." Isinger noticed Abner's sight, explained, and then clapped his hands: "Well, take advantage of it. Since the effect of that psychedelic potion has not disappeared, let's interrogate the attacker. I learned the ability of a'mind reader' before, which should make him speak the truth."

　　 Ebner and Hugh have no objection. They also want to know if there is anyone behind this person.

"My name is Turner, I am the'Instigator' of Sequence 8 and I belong to an organization called the'Gnostic Society'. The online is a'witch' named Lina. I have been in contact with her on a one-line basis and have never seen other organizations. member."

"More than half a year ago, through Lina, the organization gave me the task of selling human beings to a few human traffickers without arousing the church’s vigilance... So I used a fake identity called Sigg and joined a loan shark gang. I intend to play and complete the task at the same time. So I instigated the gang leader Rosen to create a trapped loan contract, and used my extraordinary ability to persuade the lenders to blindly accept the contract, causing many people to ruin their lives, and then abduct their families to complete the task."

"A month ago, due to my good performance, Lina suddenly appeared and rewarded me with an extraordinary weapon, the three-sided thorn. I asked her when she could give me the potion formula of Sequence 7, but she said mine meaningfully. Enlightenment was not enough. Then he left."

　　 "As for the badge, it was discovered during a copy of the debtor's compensation. It is a powerful item that can curse the Extraordinary through emotions! It's a pity that it was a bit damaged when the curse backlashed, and I don't know if it can be repaired."

　　 "In addition, I did not find another strange badge later. It looked very ordinary, and UU reading www.uukānshu.com had no function, but the text on it made me think it should be a token of a certain organization..."

　　 Hearing his eyes silently talking about this, Isinger frowned, searched his pocket, and found another badge.

"Is it this one?"

"Yes it is!"

　　 So the three people's eyes focused on the badge, which was only the size of an eyeball. The front of the badge was engraved with symbols of fate and concealment, and behind it was a circle of compact and small inscriptions in ancient Hermes:

　　 "If you hold this, you can join."

　　 Abner still doesn't recognize the ancient Hermes language, but Xiu next to him has already pronounced the meaning directly.

　　 "Maybe this is a clue to a certain treasure!" Isinger suddenly showed some interest. As a detective, he likes to solve puzzles.

　　 Abner shook his head. This badge was introduced in the original novel. He didn't recognize it at first, but after hearing the meaning of the inscription, he immediately remembered it and said to Hugh and Isinger:

　　 "This is the voucher for the gathering of the hermits of Destiny. It is also a communication device and a positioning device."

　　 "The Hermit of Destiny...what is that?" Isinger looked at his student in confusion, and at the same time Xio cast his gaze over.

　　 "It is a secret organization formed by several thieves' families in the middle and late stages of the Quaternary Period. Most of them are people related to the thieves' sequence." Abner didn't intend to say more, only a little explanation.

　　 "Ebner, you know the secrets of the Fourth Age very well!" Isinger sighed slightly, but didn't ask deeply.

　　 I'm actually very good at the Third Age, but I'm afraid that I will be finished immediately. Abner laughed at himself in his heart, and then continued to ask Turner:

　　 "How often do you contact Lina? Does she know you are cursing Hugh?"
