Mystery: Start with the Reader

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

"No. 66, Dalton Street, North District." Abner nodded slightly. He actually knew this address. In the original book, Dr. Allen took Klein to look for Will Auceptin there when he was plagued by bad luck. It's a pity. They were late, and by then the snake had restarted.

He asked Mr. Scudder just to confirm again. After all, the butterfly effect he fanned was not small, and it was normal for any changes to happen.

After returning to his room, Abner was about to take out the "Necronomicon" to study carefully, but suddenly his eyes blurred, and he saw the boundless gray mist.

Immediately afterwards, a picture of Derrick "The Sun" praying for a sacrifice appeared in front of his eyes, and a green hexagonal crystal the size of a goose egg was placed on the altar.

The crystallization of the phantom of a thousand arts? Has the "sun" changed hands? Great, now all the materials for "The Polymath" are really assembled!

However, it has only been less than two months since I was promoted to "Keeper of the Knowledge", and the potion has not been digested...

Thinking of this, Abner resolutely followed the pre-considered plan, bowed his head and prayed:

"Mr. Fool, I hope to let the crystallization of the phantom of the thousand arts temporarily stay in your country. For this, I am willing to pay two pages of 'Roselle's Diary' and submit it to you at the Tarot meeting next week. "

Since Miss Fanny said that she can get Russell's manuscript from Emma, ​​it should be delivered to me within this week...

But even if she didn't get it, it doesn't matter much, it's a big deal to forge two more pages.

Two or three seconds later, a deep and majestic voice sounded in his ears:

"Can."

"Thank you sincerely, Mister Fool." Abner raised his mouth a little bit, and tapped his chest randomly a few times. After all, he didn't know what the gesture of "The Fool" was, so he couldn't draw a crimson moon.

...

On Tuesday morning, after breakfast, Abner put on the "clown" mask and took the subway to the North District.

Since the Auceptin family is likely to be investigated by the Nighthawks in the future, Abner didn't use his true face.

Speaking of which, since the "Joker" mask could pinch the face again, Abner pinched himself a face of "Iron Man" Tony in his previous life.

Of course, due to the lack of "craftsmanship", they are only 80% or 90% similar.

After arriving at the garden villa at 66 Dalton Street, Abner did not choose to pull the doorbell, but directly simulated "invisibility" and "opening the door" to enter the house.

But the strange thing is that he walked around the whole villa up and down, but he didn't see the figure in the wheelchair.

Will isn't there? He doesn't want to see me? Abner frowned, then walked to the gate and used "Scene Backtracking".

One picture after another flashed by, and Abner quickly found what he wanted:

I saw a maid in a black and white dress pushing a wheelchair out of the living room, and a child under ten years old was sitting in that wheelchair.

"Master, you will be hospitalized from today... You, you have to take care of yourself." The little maid started to cry as she spoke.

"Don't cry, Sarah. Let's draw a card." The child didn't show any frustration on his face. Instead, he comforted the other party with a smile, then shuffled and cut the cards skillfully, and sent them to the maid.

The little maid pursed her lips, and obediently took out one of them.

"The 'Wheel of Fortune' is in place, it seems that you will soon be able to seize the opportunity to get a new job, and the new employer will treat you very well." The little boy said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, the little boy suddenly glanced in the direction of the door, and then pointedly said, "This proper 'Wheel of Fortune' is enough, so you don't need to go to the hospital to find me."

"What?" the little maid asked blankly.

"It's nothing, I'm just saying goodbye to my future friends." The little boy said with a smile.

...

"Backtracking" to this point, Abner can be sure that Will's last few words should be said to himself. He must have seen from "fate" that I will come here to look back, so he said a few more words like superfluous .

This point of time should be the last time before Will's "restart", and it's probably also the time when he and Ouroreus fought the most intensely in a field that he didn't understand...

So He doesn't want me to meet Him at this time?

Hey, the battle between the "Mercury Serpents" is not something I can intervene now, so it's better to follow the advice...

With a secret sigh, Abner turned his attention to the interpretation of the "Wheel of Fortune" card.

The upright "Wheel of Fortune" symbolizes luck, good times come, rich or expensive, good at adapting to changes, expected to be promoted, fateful reunion, love at first sight, happy marriage...

That sounds good, but does the prospect of a promotion mean that my reputation as a heroic detective is getting bigger?

And the fateful reunion...does it mean me and "1-025"?

Can this be considered good luck?

Abner secretly complained a few words, although he also knew that his wild guess was not reliable.

...

At the same time, in Backlund Hospital, a tall, thin and indifferent doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses was patrolling the ward.

He is the well-known surgeon Alan Kress.

Allen walked into a single ward and saw the little boy sitting on the bed playing tarot cards, his cold face gradually softened.

He stepped forward, tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "Will, how do you feel today?"

The child named Will looked up at him for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "Doctor, I'm really not nervous about the operation."

Allen looked at this awkward child, shook his head secretly, and said, "It's not interesting for you to play Tarot cards by yourself, take me one."

Will stopped what he was doing, looked at the doctor firmly, and said seriously, "Are you sure?"

Seeing Dr. Allen nodded, Will unfolded the Tarot cards in his hand and said, "Draw one."

In order to let Will relax, Dr. Allen turned over a card cooperatively.

"It's the reversed 'Wheel of Fortune'."

Will looked at him, smiled purely and innocently and said:

"Doctor, your luck will get worse."

...

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the garden villa on Kingston Street in the Jorwood District. Considering that Mr. Ivan Bingley might visit in the afternoon, Abner did not go out again, but concentrated on studying " Necronomicon, hoping to get any clues from here.

Although there was a hint from the Mother Earth and "luck" given by the "Mercury Snake", Abner didn't think he could "win"...and the gift of fate has always been marked with chips, how much There is certainly no harm in making some preparations and relying less on others.

However, that Mr. Bingley did not come to the door again in the afternoon. I don't know if there is some delay or the problem has been solved.

But Abner didn't take this matter to heart, because he had more important things to do

——In the afternoon, Miss Fanny sent someone to send an invitation card, inviting him to have dinner at an Intis-style restaurant.

Abner knew that the other party should have obtained the "Rosell Manuscript", so he readily went to the appointment.

...

Seven o'clock in the evening, inside the Senna restaurant in Hillston District.

Abner took a sip of the white wine that was said to be produced in Intis, but was actually produced in Masin in the analysis of "Pure White Eye", smiled and said to Miss Fanny on the opposite side:

"Thank you for the hospitality. I wonder what Fanny you asked me to come out for?"

"Can't I ask you out for dinner if I have nothing to do?" Fanny first teased, then took out five pieces of paper with rubbings from her handbag, and handed it to Abner, "This is what you want. As for the Rosselwen manuscripts, Emma only collected so many because it was just a passing interest."

Abner took the manuscript, but didn't read it right away. After all, he didn't want to reveal that he could actually read this kind of writing.

"By the way, Emma will go to the royal library tomorrow morning to look up materials, and she should be able to find what you need by then... So, she invites you to meet at the library of Backlund University tomorrow night." Fanny said at this time added.

"At night? Backlund University Library?" Abner subconsciously repeated. There's nothing wrong with him, but...

Why do all the women I know like to talk about things in the middle of the night?
