Mystery: Start with the Reader

Under the crimson light, there were a lot of residents in the originally empty town. They walked in the streets and greeted each other, discussing whether to buy only bread today, or to be more luxurious, and to buy 1 pound of beef.

Suddenly, the misty town seemed to have recovered from the deadly silence, and it looked like a normal town.

However, those faint figures did not try to enter the houses on both sides. They seemed to have been walking back and forth on the street, and the sound they made was hard to believe that they were talking. This was closer to the low voice of a beast. roar.

"Compared with the'Utopia' created by Klein in the future, Antigonus's'craftsmanship' is still a bit too rough..."

Abner, who had packed his extraordinary characteristics, spit out. Just as he was thinking about what to do next, the street outside suddenly became very quiet.

All the roaring sounds of beasts disappeared!

The wandering and whispering figures walking back and forth on the street seemed to all turn to a certain direction...

In that direction, a polite male voice came: "Excuse me, this is..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly... After a short silence, the noisy whispers reappeared, and the faint figures continued to walk around.

"That voice is a bit familiar... Well, it should be Prince Edsac's butler, Finkel... At the prom held at the headquarters building of the Daily Observer, I met him...

"In the original book, he was indeed sent to the Kingdom of Night by '0-17', but he didn't explain it later... Now it seems that he went to the church to be'bacon' as soon as he came in..."

Abner shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he recalled the relevant plot of "Nightland" while thinking:

"If the goddess did not deliberately target me, then to leave this misty town, you need to enter the deepest part of the church, find the dented wall, put a piece of corresponding obsidian on it, and draw the symbol on the female sacred emblem.

"It shouldn’t be a problem to control the ‘Spirit Line’ to prevent it from being sucked away by the ‘magnet’ above the church...

"Obsidian was held by Pannadia in the original book by the Nightingale of Despair... but that was a few months later, when she should have eaten most of the survivors in town before getting the obsidian... …

"In other words, the current obsidian may still be in some unknown ‘future ingredient’...

"Well, if the plot does not change, where is the obsidian, and I desperately want to connect my historical projection with the outside world's'destiny' and'history', so that Zarathu who completes the'resurrection' must know... the original. Here, he accurately named the'Witch of Despair' to Klein.

"So just ask him, you should be able to find...

"Finally, the drawn symbol... Klein escaped here smoothly with the simple strokes of the dark holy emblem... But he is indeed okay as the favored one of the goddess, but I... OK?

"The goddess did make a certain investment in me in the previous nightmare that connected the underworld... But this time when He got me in, can he really allow me to leave without doing anything? What is his purpose?

"Furthermore, once I open the ‘door’, no matter which symbol I use, it will actually release the ‘secret’ state here for a short time, and interact with the history and destiny of the outside world... This is equivalent to releasing Zarathu in advance...

"Does the goddess actually want to let him go by my hand? But why? Klein is only Sequence 6 now, and he can't even hide the breath of the'source fort' leaked from him. Zarathu's resurrection will not do him any good... On the contrary, it will add countless dangers...

"In other words, history has undergone huge changes that I don't know about, so the goddess needs Zarathu to go out and stir the muddy water?"

Thinking of this, Abner couldn't help but frown, but he also knew that he was guessing. If you want to know the exact answer, the best way is to go into the church and have a look...

At this time, the little crimson moonlight that passed through the window suddenly became extremely dim, the red moon was again covered by the fog, and the faintly visible figures coming and going on the street disappeared, as if evaporating, the roaring sounds of the beasts suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Abner once again used the "Evans' Secret Barrier" to cover the whole body, and then simulated the "apprentice" ability to "open doors", walking along the row of houses, until he came to the last building not far from the steeple church. Inside the house.

——Although the range of the spirit world corresponding to this small town is also "secret", making it impossible to enter the "spirit world" and unable to "teleport", but because everyone is bound to have a connection with the spirit world, after all, their own astral spirit body It's always inside, so some borrowing the special abilities of the spirit world can still be used...for example, "divination", such as "blink", or..."open the door".

During this period, Abner encountered several Beyonders who had obviously mutated to kill each other. Their eyes were full of madness, and they all wanted to eat each other in their stomachs.

Their strength is not low, and they are basically Sequence 5 levels-after all, they are slightly weaker, I am afraid they have been eaten by others long ago.

"Although with the occult knowledge mastered by Beyonders at this level, they will definitely wait for the Extraordinary characteristics to be extracted before using the'meal', but the other dead are imprisoned here, without any food, they can only target each other with various characteristics. Under the irregular mixing, it will inevitably become more and more abnormal, more and more crazy. If this kind of food is eaten too much, how can there be no problem...

"Even if the people in Silver City eat the monsters hidden in the dark, they still need to use sealed objects to get rid of the pollution!"

These thoughts flashed in his mind, but Abner ignored them. Instead, he went straight to the side of the ancient church, then reached out and pressed his hand to the wall, silently passing through the dark and heavy wall and entering the interior of the church.

At this time, around the spire of the ancient church, the flying crows suddenly stopped, and there seemed to be stars flashing in their eyes.

Inside the church, Abner, who entered through the wall, first asked the "magic mirror" to switch his soul to the "master puppet", letting him manipulate his own "spiritual line" against the tendency of upward drifting, and then simulated " With the ability of night vision, he looked at the interior of this dimly lit church.

And within the range of his gaze, human bodies hung one after another in the air.

Some of them wore black classical robes, some wore brown jackets, some wore very fluffy skirts, and some of them were tattered like beggars.

Some of them have rough faces, some have deep and handsome outlines, some have delicate and beautiful features, and some are immature and cute, and they are quite young, with no similarities.

No, they still have something in common. They are all receiving air-dried bacon, hanging from a high place, with their heads drooping, their eyes turning white and shaking.

And the one hanging in the front is Mr. Finkel, the butler who had a close relationship with Abner.

At this moment, he seemed to be aware of Abner's gaze, and at the same time he turned to face Abner along with the other figures hanging in the air.

Although it had been predicted because of the original work, Abner still felt that his neck was chilled, and only felt that the "style" here was not suitable for him.

"Honakis...Fregla..."

In the "chorus" of hanging the corpses, Abner took a breath, and then walked deep into the church step by step, and soon came to a pitch-black altar.

On the altar, there is a carved stone statue: Gu

It was an image of a female human with a beautiful face, but two animal legs grew on the ribs and waist, covered with short, thick, hard black hair.

In addition, there are thin black bands around the stone statue, which are like stretched tentacles.

At the feet of this stone statue, there are souls sleeping, as if clusters of stars surround it.

"Mother of Heaven"... Sealed Artifact "0-17"... The goddess' descent vessel!

Abner silently revealed his three identities, and then stopped looking at it, and instead moved his gaze to the diagonally behind the statue, looking for the location of the historical projection of the original Richard Latu.

But when he saw what was there, his eyes froze.

Because there is no old man with a beard mentioned in the original book, there is only a young man who looks only in his twenties sitting cross-legged next to the statue, and in front of him is a piece of parchment that looks old and a Tin white tin jar filled with off-white dust and particles.

The young man had a handsome face, his hair was as dark as the night, and his blue eyes were half-closed, as if he was dozing off. If it weren't for his posture too "Eastern", he looked like a vampire duke in folklore.

He was wearing a silk robe with the coat of arms of the Abraham family sewn on it.

Abner looked at his face, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity developed in his heart, exactly the same as he felt when he saw other objects left by the traverser brought by the "pure white eye"...

"The ‘wanderer’ from the Abraham family more than a thousand years ago? The author of The Book of Astrology and Elements? How could he be here...

"Besides, the pot of ashes in front of you...could it be that Zarathu's?

"Well... this'wanderer' should have died here more than a thousand years ago, otherwise there will be no later Dennett...

"And Zarathu was from Roselle's time more than a hundred years ago... It stands to reason that he should have put a historical projection here... How come it has been turned into ashes? The'door' has not been opened yet. ...

"Is this a trap that He reserved here?"

Out of vigilance against Zarathu, Abner directly opened the "eye of pure white".

But at the moment when the "eye of pure white" opened the channel and connected to the "unknown place", the blue eyes of the "young man" of the Abraham family who had died for thousands of years on the opposite side also became "pure white" at the same time, and then, in the tin white jar His ashes turned into illusory "historical dust", which passed through the "passage" in Abner's eyes at an extremely fast speed.

Abner was caught off guard and there was no time to stop him. He was in a daze for a while before he understood what was going on from the information returned by the "White Eye".

It turned out that, as early as more than a thousand years, the predecessor of the traverser who traversed as a "roamer" laid this game against Zarathu before his death, so that the historical images he cut out could not be frozen and preserved for a long time like the original work. .

It turned out that he would have come here a long time ago as a traverser himself, opened the "eye of pure white", and used the fate of the "hidden" world inside to deceive Zarathu's historical projection into the net and enter. The unknown place can no longer easily converge with the destiny and history of the normal world, and his wish to complete the miracle of "resurrection" has been frustrated...

It turned out that the goddess didn't get me in to release Zaratul...but to make him completely unable to change the uncontrollable ending of the promotion to "Secret Servant"!

Abner looked at the silent young man on the opposite side, and couldn't help but sighed: Why are all the traversers before me such old yb? Dennett is like this, so is this "wanderer"... and the other blood dukes and death archons are also arranged everywhere, making it difficult to guess what they did.

"And... are these seniors really dead?

"The'wanderer' in front of us successfully murdered Le'er an angel in front of me as an'audience' with the use of the layout for more than a thousand years... He has been out of the normal world for at least one thousand and one hundred years in this secret kingdom... As Abraham The demigod of the family, even the "angel", once he leaves this kingdom, he will inevitably return a glorious history that belongs to Abraham...

"These corresponded to the ritual requirements of the'Mage Master', the'Ancient Scholar', and the'Miracle Master', and he deliberately killed Zarathu... The characteristics of the'Miracle Master' were probably already calculated...

"So he... is he really dead?"

Thinking of this, Abner calmed down his violently beating heart, and observed it again with the "white eyes", and soon made new discoveries:

"The physical state of this Abraham family'Wanderer' is very similar to the state of the'Bone Dragon'... It seems that it is also contaminated with Calderon City... that is, the breath of the Eternal Dark River...

"In other words, with a little adjustment, I can rely on the method of manipulating the bone dragon described in the Book of the Necromancer to manipulate this'roamer' to fight... even if I am willing to spend time creating new secret techniques~www. NovelMTL.com~ It’s not impossible to “fuse” with him for a short time and become a “roamer”...

"The'Death Archon' Vicente Miranda who left this technique is also a traverser... Isn't it a coincidence?

"It always feels like generations of travellers are perfecting a certain technology...

"Wait... I remember Dennett also experimented with the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" with the "Chaotic Sea"...

"And the ‘split form’ of Baron Kangwa, which is suspected to be created by the ‘Three Temples’ and the ‘Dream Weaver’, is constantly restarting, which is very strange...

"Maybe the secret technique they developed to'separate pollution' is just a by-product...

"The real purpose... Is it to allow the follow-up traversers to separate their perfect clones, and to take over the technology left behind by the ancestors?

"It's no wonder they need a'reader'...and I am sure that I, who is the follower, must be a'reader'...

"After all, the previous research is not perfect... This may be due to the extraordinary way limited to the predecessors of the traveler...

"This kind of ability involving multiple sequences directly refers to its principle and essence. It may also require the use of the'Chaotic Sea' approach. I am afraid that only the'reader' who is omniscient and omnipotent because of omnipotence and the'shepherd' who is omnipotent because of omnipotence. !

"The latter is too much influenced by the'True Creator', so naturally it won't be the first choice...

"The only question is, how does this benefit the previous traversers?

"No matter how you look at this benefit, it's all mine... I've got a bunch of clones...

"Could it be that their ultimate goal is for me to completely perfect this secret technique accumulated from generation to generation, and truly "resurrect" them?

"But how can they think that I have such a high level of ability and moral standards?"
