Mystery: Start with the Reader

Latest website: The interior of the "Black Emperor" mausoleum is empty, with nothing but dark black walls and a high platform in the center.

On the high platform, there is a chair prepared for a giant. It looks like it is made of iron, with complex and twisted strange patterns engraved on the surface, and the top of the backrest extends upward in the shape of a crown.

At this time, there was no figure on the surface of this heavy and huge chair, as if it was waiting for the return of its emperor.

But in the eyes of Abner and Bernadette, there was a black shadow sitting on them, examining the hands they held together...

Just when he was still more than ten meters away from the high platform, Abner took the initiative to stop and let go of Bernadette.

Bernadette stood there blankly, staring blankly at the central high platform and the black figure, her expression showing sadness that she couldn't hide and didn't want to hide.

She could sense it, and she was certain that the black figure was her father, the man who called himself "Caesar", Russell Gustave.

The next second, more gaps opened in the black figure, revealing something as red as the moonlight inside, crookedly forming eyes and a mouth.

"You should be lucky that I am awake now, otherwise you would have been dead when I just saw you!" The black shadow, also known as Russell, said in a cold tone.

But then he looked at Bernadette who was more than ten meters away, and laughed with a dry and hoarse voice: "You have really become a big shot in the mysterious world, and you have actually become an angel..." Come here, let me see clearly. What does my little princess look like now?"

Bernadette's eyes suddenly turned red, and just as she was about to take a step forward, Abner stretched out her hand to hold her back. Seeing this, Russell looked at Abner again, chuckled and said:

"Are you the husband chosen by my little princess?

"That's right now. In the past, I would definitely beat you to death, you brat."

This emperor was sometimes cold, sometimes tender, sometimes like a loving father, sometimes pointing fingers at his daughter's interpersonal relationships, roaring constantly, as if countless personalities were switching back and forth, as if he had gone crazy a long time ago.

"You said...his condition is better than expected?" Bernadette asked Abner while looking at the black figure.

The light gradually revealed indescribable sadness.

"The way he is acting now at least shows that his nature is still 'struggling' and he has not completely become a puppet of the outer gods... Moreover, although it seems that the contaminated part has the upper hand, it does not have an overwhelming advantage. .”

Like Mr. "Gate", he can only wake up briefly when the red moon appears. At other times, it is more troublesome if his "personality" is stable.

As he spoke, Abner communicated with the body in the "abnormality" and continuously transmitted the information he "saw" at the scene back to the Kingdom of God for analysis.

At this time, the bright red gaps on Russell's face became increasingly chaotic, sometimes "closing" and sometimes "opening", and there was no longer a unified will.

The great emperor seized the opportunity, straightened his body slightly, looked at Abner, and shouted with difficulty: "Think of a solution quickly. He has noticed your approach and seems to be concentrating his strength."

Abner nodded seriously, and then an ancient castle suddenly appeared on the primitive island, appearing in the sky above the "Black Emperor"'s mausoleum.

That is the "Observer Castle" that holds the old corpse of "the father of succubus, the lord of desire, and the source of corruption".

As soon as the castle appeared, the faint "red moon" in the sky suddenly disappeared and disappeared, and the red light in the crack on Russell's body also dimmed.

Abner seized the opportunity and moved the "Hermit's Staff" forward, trying to "interpret" the nature of the pollution on the emperor again, but he immediately discovered that the content of his "interpretation" was almost immediately contaminated by the "new life" To re-cover it, unless you have been fighting it for tens or hundreds of years, it is impossible to completely change its "nature".

"Sure enough, it doesn't work... Mainly because, Old Huang, your choice of 'resurrection point' was terrible! How can you be resurrected under someone else's defense tower?

What do you think..." Abner complained helplessly in his mind.

And while Abner was trying his best to help Lao Huang solve the pollution and was unable to be distracted, the emperor took advantage of his improved condition to chat with his daughter about home affairs:

"Why are you with him? Holding hands?"

Bernadette opened her mouth, not knowing where to start. Finally, her eyes suddenly filled with mist, and she shouted lowly and suppressed:

"Dad...you will be fine...he promised..."

At this point, she seemed to have remembered something, and added a few words: "I was with him, naturally, to learn your "Middle Kingdom" writing, to understand your diary, and then to find this place... ..."

When Russell heard her daughter's call, her face, which had only outlines of facial features, softened a bit, but after Bernadette's words came out, she suddenly became sluggish and asked subconsciously: "What did you say? You... ....Can you read my diary?"

"I can only understand part of it...According to him, many idioms and words with rich connotations need more literature and data support to understand." As Bernadette answered, her mood gradually stabilized, she After thinking for a while, he continued, "I didn't want to tell you this at first... but he said that knowing this will help you strengthen your humanity."

"Consolidating humanity? That's right, I am very full of humanity now!" Russell sneered a few times and said in a rather "strange" tone.

Then, he paused and couldn't help but ask: "What is the relationship between you and him now?"

Bernadette thought for a while and said: "I am now the Pope of the 'Church of the God of Truth', and he is the 'God of Truth'." The Pope... Russell pondered for a moment and asked: "Other than that Where is it outside?"

"He told me that if you ask about this, I will answer you in one sentence... Well, it should be the language of the "Middle Kingdom", but I only know the language to the extent of knowing the words, but I don't understand it. I don't know the pronunciation or what he means.

"However, what he said will also help you consolidate your humanity." Bernadette said honestly, remembering Abner's series of instructions before setting off.

"What words?" Russell had a gut feeling that it was not a good thing to say, but he still couldn't help but asked curiously.

Then, he heard his eldest daughter, a big figure in the mysterious world, the Pope of the "Church of the God of Truth", Bernadette Gustave, pronounce in smooth Chinese:

"January 16th, the witch tastes really good."
