Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Name: The Hand of Wisdom

—You are wise when your enemy loses his mind through madness.

"Appearance: Gloves of jet-black chain mail.

"Function description: After wearing gloves, the user can gain terrifying strength and strong physique in a short period of time. By giving actual or symbolic 'bribes' to the target, he can 'associate' with it, 'weaken' it, and make it It's 'crazy'.

"Negative effect: Wearing it for more than 10 minutes will cause people's spirit to fall into confusion, do some incomprehensible things, and increase the risk of corruption and loss of control.

"Suggested method of use: use it when opening the 'Pure White Eye', which can effectively reduce the risk of spiritual erosion.

Looking at the analysis report of the "Pure White Eye", Abner nodded secretly, feeling that although the corresponding sequence of this magical item is not high, its ability is very practical, otherwise it would not have been used by the Baron "Conva" One of the items that seals itself.

Yes, the gloves are just one of the cores of the sarcophagus sealing ceremony. According to Abner's speculation, the armor on the baron's body and the weapons in his hands should all be Extraordinary items, which are also the core components of the seal...

Unfortunately, they were taken away by the corpse of the baron possessed by "1-025" and did not stay here.

But then again, if the seal of the ruins is still intact, the two ladies Emma and Fanny who broke in rashly may not survive in front of the stone gate at all.

As for why Miss Emma asked the baron why he sealed himself, Abner is actually not very clear about it, he is just the result of a reverse analysis from the damaged ritual arrangement.

Therefore, after putting away the "Hand of Wisdom" chain armor glove, Abner replied with a smile: "The reason why the Baron sealed himself is probably due to the notebook that Miss Fanny just threw away." provided."

"That notebook... can I get it back now?" Fanny asked rather anxiously.

"No problem, and you can rest assured to rummage in this basement to see if there is anything of value." After finishing speaking, Abner began to seriously study the torn sarcophagus.

Not to mention the material of the sarcophagus itself is very special, only the remaining "ritual runes" on it benefited him a lot.

Hearing Abner's words, Fanny immediately turned around and went back to the upper floor, looking for the note that she had thrown somewhere.

And Miss Emma just looked around casually for a few times, and then went straight to Abner's side.

As a "cryptographer", her "intuition" told her that the only thing of research value in the entire basement was this broken sarcophagus.

"Did the owner of the sarcophagus forcibly come out by himself? He also dug out the exit of the ruins? Did Fanny just discover that exit before?" Miss Emma analyzed the scene with the ability of "deciphering scholar", Also reached the same conclusion as Abner.

However, she immediately thought of something, and blurted out: "Could it be that '1-025' ran here, possessed the baron's body, and ran out?"

Abner suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and said in surprise, "You know '1-025'?" Even he barely guessed some clues through "backtracking".

"It seems that you, Detective Bryan, have expected it... That's right, the storm last Friday night was so abnormal. As a 'heroic detective', you must have doubts... I want you to show up at Kang in the name of accompanying your classmates. Wa Town, is here to investigate the incident, right?"

Having said that, she chuckled lightly, as if mocking herself:

"I should have thought about it...how could a famous detective show up at a public school camp for no reason? Hey, I thought it was quite normal at the time..."

I'm not that curious. If I knew there was something wrong with the storm, I wouldn't rush to investigate... Even if I really want to know, wouldn't it be good to ask Mister Fool to help with divination?

Abner complained a few words in his heart, but on the surface he said cautiously: "Miss Emma, ​​don't flatter me like that, just tell me if you have anything to say."

This young lady seemed lively and innocent, but Abner knew that she had a deep mind, and even if she was not experienced enough, she was not as straightforward as Miss Fanny.

She took the initiative to talk to herself about these things, she must have something in mind.

"Actually, I just want to exchange information with you...I guess you don't know the specifics of the big battle last Friday night, but I happened to learn about it through some channels...

"I want to exchange this information for your knowledge of this ruin... especially the information about why the layout here is so similar to the hotel in the small town of Kangwa."

Seeing that Abner saw through her own thoughts, Miss Emma was not ashamed, but said her plan with a smile.

Abner's previous understanding of the ceremony arranged by the baron gave her some guesses.

This girl is really a thief! But she should really have no bad intentions, it's just that she is too obsessed with "deciphering".

Abner thought for a moment, and felt that the exchange with the other party was not a disadvantage, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, please speak."

When Miss Emma saw that Abner agreed, while she was secretly relieved, she rolled her eyes and said:

"As far as I know, there was a fierce battle between the saints of the 'Rose School of Thought' and the 'Church of Storms' last Friday night in the depths of the Dreyer Forest in the south, the purpose of which was to compete for '1-025'...

"Later, two forces joined in, plus the military that arrived last, there were five demigods attacking at the same time... That's why it caused heavy rain that lasted for several days.

"But in the end '1-025' escaped under the noses of all the demigods, leaving only an extraordinary item called 'Ice Claw' in place, and the tobacco merchant it possessed before has completely disappeared. die."

The "Ice Claw" that Lina lost was indeed taken away by the tobacco merchant possessed by "1-025"... No wonder Xiao Ke was chased by monsters when he was looking for that extraordinary item.

Abner nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Which two forces joined the competition?"

"I'm not sure...but I heard it should be 'Elemental Dawn' and 'Spiritual Religion'." Miss Emma thought for a while and said uncertainly.

Element Dawn and the Spiritual Cult? The motive of the former is unknown, perhaps it is to stop the "Rose School of Thought" indulgent faction... and the latter is most likely to avenge the "Storm Church" and the military's siege of Ludwell.

Well, Miss Sharron and Maric seem to have something to do with "Dawn of Elements". You can go to the Bar of the Brave to inquire about the news later; in addition, you can also write to Jane to ask...

Thinking of this, Abner came back to his senses, then sorted out his language, and was about to share the information he knew with Miss Emma as agreed.

But at this moment...

despair,

despair,

despair……

From above came the sound of leather boots trampling on the flagstone stairs. It was Miss Fanny who found the notebook and came down again.

"Detective Bryan, tell me the information after you leave here." Miss Emma immediately interrupted what Abner was about to blurt out after hearing the voice.

"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Abner." Abner swallowed the words he was about to say, and replied casually.

However, he was a little surprised. The two ladies seemed to have a good relationship, but Miss Emma didn't really want to share information about the ruins.

"Okay, Abner. You can also call me Emma directly." Miss Emma was kind, and before Miss Fanny approached, she explained in a low voice:

"I don't want Fanny to know the secrets related to occultism directly. I have to check for her... She is a bit reckless, and knowing too much may bring her danger."

Abner was taken aback when he heard the words, but he secretly slandered in his heart: It is said that others are reckless, but you are actually not much better as a follower of the Lord of Storms, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have almost fallen into desperation in the previous battle.

At this time, Miss Fanny had already come to the front. Seeing her friend whispering to Detective Bryan, she frowned slightly but quickly relaxed it. Then she opened the notebook she had picked up and placed it in front of Abner. Some expectantly asked:

"Detective Blaine, do you recognize the text inside?"
