Mystery: Start with the Reader

Latest website: Gas City is located in the coastal area northwest of Intis. It is a free city centered on the gambling industry. It is filled with the myth of getting rich overnight and the luxury surrounded by beautiful women. It is the "paradise" that many people yearn for.

Especially in Gass at night, the street scene is even brighter, more colorful, and neon lights flash like a dream.

The towering high-rise buildings look particularly majestic and majestic under the light. The streets are full of tourists and people are laughing, making it a prosperous scene of a city that never sleeps.

But beneath the "appearance" of rampant materialism and extravagance, what's hidden is its essence as a "sin" city.

Because it is a "free city", Gas City only belongs to Intis in name and pays taxes regularly.

It is not that the Intis Congress has not tried to take back the administrative power of the city, but it has been repeatedly blocked because the power of Gas is actually in the hands of the major "families" of Gas.

Behind these families are the senior priests of the Church of the Eternal Burning Sun, with the chief of the "Round Table Council" as their faith.

Standing on the roof of a tall building, looking down at the most famous "Gambling City" in the Northern Continent, which was an inconspicuous and run-down village more than twenty years ago, Cattleya had a complicated look on her face.

"I was born in this land, and I have to complete the ceremony of being promoted to an 'angel' in this land. Is this also fate?"

While muttering to herself, Cattleya recalled the development of different "fate lines" she had glimpsed during the past six months while completing tasks, and the rewards she received for peeking into Mr. "Tower"'s secrets after each task was completed. The complex expression on his face deepened.

"Maybe this is 'fate'..." After sighing again, Cattleya took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, then took out an invisible robe and put it on her body.

That was the "0" level sealed item "Insighter's Robe" lent to her by Abner.

It was originally Chick's personal clothing before he became a god. Later, the original witch gave it to his child "Purple Saint" Ushaha... After Abner "collected" all the seven-color witches in the "Witch Cult" , this item naturally fell into his hands.

The "Insighter Robe" contains the extraordinary characteristics of the "Spectator" Path Sequence 2, and can use most of the abilities of the "Insighter". This allows Cattleya to destroy the "Abyss Entrance" that has just been formed in the sea of ​​collective subconscious in Gas City. ”Provides great help.

The negative effects of the "Insighter's Robe" will be more obvious when used for a long time. If it is only used for a while, it is within the acceptable range for Cattleya.

"Is the extreme character you get... longing for the love or good relationship of acquaintances? It's not bad, and it won't affect the battle." Cattleya felt the negative effects of the "Insighter's Robe" and added a new one for herself "Character" nodded slightly, and then directly entered the collective subconscious sea formed by countless overlapping lights and shadows.

As a demigod of the "Secret Peeper" path, Cattleya has used various spells to enter the "sea of ​​collective subconscious" in the past, but she has never been so clear-headed and seen so clearly as now.

"Above is the spiritual sky, which is the reflection of the spiritual world on the spiritual level.

"The countless islands floating on the deep and dark sea below the spiritual sky are the spiritual islands belonging to the residents of Gas City...

"Huh?"

While Cattleya compared the knowledge she had learned and observed the "scenery" of the sea of ​​collective subconscious, she suddenly said "Hey", because in her field of vision blessed by the "Clothes of the Insight", every nearby building A thin illusory black line extends from the "Island of the Soul". They are densely packed and converge into a "black hole" in the sky. As time went by, the area of ​​the "black hole" became larger and larger, exuding an aura of "degeneration" and "filth".

"You can't see it at all without using the Robe of the Insight... Is this the entrance to the first level of the Abyss discovered by Mr. 'Jealousy' in Psychological Alchemy?"

"It is said that that gentleman is just an ordinary 'manipulator'. If he can find something wrong here, he should be as reliable as me."

While thinking in her mind, Cattleya, led by the "Insighter" robe, had arrived near the "black hole".

After observing carefully, she thought solemnly:

"Sure enough, if it is allowed to develop, it will definitely become a medium for the abyss to come to reality, and nearly a million people in Gas City will die as a result.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with the chief of the Round Table Council of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. Otherwise, he shouldn't have allowed his subordinates to accumulate such huge extreme emotions in this city... and many people's hearts have already" It’s fallen!”

As her thoughts swirled, Cattleya was about to seal this "black hole", and then purify the minds of those who were constantly sending "degenerate" and "filthy" thoughts.

But just when she had this idea, the "black hole" seemed to be "frightened", expanding and contracting violently.

The next moment, two figures suddenly appeared around the entrance of the "abyss".

One of them had long chestnut hair and was wearing a lady's shirt with a lace flower tie, a knee-length gray skirt and a pair of long leather boots.

It was none other than the eldest daughter of Emperor Russell, the "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette.

The other one is Abner with slightly curly brown hair, wearing a black formal suit, a red tie, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

It's just that the expressions on the faces of these two people are not normal. Bernadette's cold and dignified temperament is gone, replaced by a

Silk is frivolous;

And Abner stared directly at Cattleya's body, his eyes full of desire.

Cattleya knew that this was the "fallen phantom" manifested by the "abyss", and it was a method used by the "Devil of the Heart" to use the phantoms of close people to interfere with emotions and create flaws in the soul.

As for this trick, just choose "disbelief"!

Even with the negative effects of "The Robe of the Insight", Cattleya's determination remained firm. She stretched out her left hand and snapped her fingers, while whispering: "I make a wish to make all falsehood disappear."

This is the "mysterious reappearance - Alvin Abraham". This is one of the "mysteries" she has "peeped" from Mr. "Tower" in the past few months, which can give her a chance to fulfill her "wishes" normally.

The false Abner and Bernadette instantly collapsed and disappeared, leaving only the "black hole" that was still shrinking and expanding.

But at this time, the "black hole" seemed to have completed some preparations, and whispers came from the countless "spiritual islands" in the collective subconscious sea at the same time, spreading towards Cattleya's "island".

But the "Invisor's Robe" immediately lit up with a layer of light, building a "spiritual barrier" to temporarily block all "babble".

Taking this opportunity, Cattleya closed her eyes, formed a shadow, and fell towards the invisible coffin that suddenly appeared.

The frequency of the "black hole" that was shrinking and expanding quickly dropped, and the "babble" in those "soul islands" also suddenly stopped.

This is the "mysterious reappearance of Sleeping Beauty" that uses the power of the "insighter" to amplify the effect countless times!

Without wasting any time, Cattleya raised her right hand and threw three "imagined" five-color stones into the "black hole", while softly chanting in Chinese:

"Nuwa mends the sky"!

This was one of the "stories" Mr. "Tower" told when he came to the "Future" every night to help her digest the extraordinary characteristics of the "occultist".

In an instant, the three stones turned into mud-like five-color liquid, covering the surface of the "black hole", constantly shrinking the size of the "entrance". In just a few seconds, it changed from the size of a table to the size of a plate. , coin size, pinhead size... until almost invisible.

But the effect of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" is only to block the "entrance to the abyss". It treats the symptoms but not the root cause. With the existence of Gass, the "City of Desire" and "City of Sin", the collective subconscious here is the entrance to the sea. Sooner or later it will expand to its original size...

So Cattleya didn't care about her mental fatigue.

Tired, a new spell was used again:

"Mysterious Reappearance—The Isolated Western Continent."

As the gray mist appeared out of thin air, covering the location where the "black hole" was, and gradually extended to the entire "spiritual sky" nearby, as a "Master of Prophecy", Cattleya clearly saw the opportunity for promotion and understood that she The corresponding rituals have been completed to prevent a disaster involving high-level power - the "Abyss" from coming!

Cattleya was not surprised that the process went so smoothly. After all, she had used the "0" level sealed objects that were most suitable for use in the sea of ​​collective subconscious, so she was well prepared;

Secondly, she knew that Abner and the Queen must have helped her fend off enemies that were beyond her ability.

After using her last bit of spirituality and mobilizing the power of the "Invisor Robe" to "pacify" and "purify" the "fallen" thoughts in the hearts of most residents of Gas City, Cattleya had to withdraw from the sea of ​​collective subconscious.

As soon as her figure returned to reality, a familiar voice came to her ears:

"Thank you for your hard work... I make a wish to completely restore Cattleya's spirituality."

Looking at the man in front of her who had become very familiar in the past few months, Cattleya smiled unconsciously on her face, then took the prepared "Sage" potion from the other man's hand and took a sip. Drink it.

The star realm, the kingdom of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

Abner, who entered here with the help of the astral creature "Asmo", once again saw the "Two and Five Dragons" who appeared in the form of a human old man.

Without seeing any movement from the other party, Abner felt that the illusory "all-knowing eye" that had been spiritually connected to him suddenly lost contact.

The "Pure White Eyes" that he had always relied on the most had completely disappeared. Immediately afterwards, "Two Five Dragons" put his hand into his eye socket with a slightly painful expression, and took out a brass eye from inside.

"Well, in this way, the replacement is completed... This real 'Eye of Omniscience' is yours." "The God of Knowledge and Wisdom" Herabergen is replacing the "Brass Eyes" "Abner said with a smile after handing it to him.

"Your strength...?" Abner frowned and asked, because he already felt that the aura of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" seemed to be weakening.

"Eye replacement surgery has some side effects... doesn't it?" Herabergen joked first, and then continued, "Don't worry, your fake 'Omniscient Eye' is in the unknown 'With the blessing of 'The Goddess of the Earth' is not much different from the real thing, I still maintain the status of a true god... Moreover, the 'Mother Goddess of the Earth' will not do evil things to me at this time."

"Then I'm relieved." Abner nodded.

Although "Two Five Dragons" rarely directly help him like the goddess and Lilith, they have provided protection when he was weak, so he does not hope that the other party will encounter any danger due to the replacement characteristics.

At this time, Herabergen pointed at the nine "Asmo" that looked like blond women in the kingdom, and said with a smile: "Take them away too... They carry my blessing to you. ’ and ‘favour’. "

"Okay!" Abner nodded again and directly took those expressionless and emotionless "Aasimars" into his "hidden space".

He said no more, and after saluting the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", he left the Kingdom of God and returned to reality.

Immediately afterwards, he visited the goddess and Lilith's kingdom one after another...

After that, Abner relaxed his mind and traveled around with friends for more than ten days before arriving at the "Plain of Blood", Tudor's former kingdom of God, in the early morning of December 25, 1351!

The three "Sages", Bernadette, Cattleya, and Yarolan, as well as the nine "Aasimo" given by the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" are already waiting here.

Sitting on the huge throne that was once the "Blood Emperor", Abner took out a mixture of the characteristics of the "Emperor of Knowledge", the characteristics of the "Omniscient Eye", the characteristics of the "Serpent of Mercury", and the uniqueness of the "Wheel of Fortune". He looked at the strange "substance" for a long time and finally put it into his mouth.

Because being promoted to Sequence 1 will cause the "Unknown" to awaken and assimilate his own consciousness, Abner chose to skip the Sequence 1 stage and directly become the "Ancient God"...

Use the initial crazy chaos to fight against the "unknown" pollution!
