Mystery: Start with the Reader

The man taking the photo with Ms. Lamia is called "Giuseppe Castilla." Abner had already learned this from Ms. Crossfia.

According to his speculation, Mr. Giuseppe, as a member of the Castilla family, probably died while exploring the ruins where the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" resides, and was then transported by the time-travelers brought by the "Pure White Eyes" Taking over the body...

I feel inexplicably familiar with the photo of Giuseppe, the suspected time traveler, and now I have a similar feeling towards the man in the "retrospective" picture...

So, does it mean that the man in the "retrospective" scene is actually a time traveler?

Combined with the feeling similar to Mr. Azik's...

The author of the "Necronomicon", Jane's ancestor, the Archon of Death, Her Highness Miranda?

Just as Abner was speculating in his mind, the "retrospective" scene fell silent again with the departure of the severely injured, suspected to be His Highness Miranda.

It is worth mentioning that He left along a stream outside the dream courtyard...

After an unknown amount of time, a knight who looked somewhat similar to Mr. Azik entered this nightmare. His face was resolute, but there was a hint of sadness.

However, the knight still entered the castle resolutely, and after a while he walked out holding a crown covered with rust and blood, and then left along the stream.

"Is that Mr. Azik's son? Sad... is it because at this time he already knew that his friend Kilger died in another ruins, and the one who was alive was someone pretended to be by the Loen royal family?

“The crown at the end that is full of rust and blood…should be the ‘conqueror’ characteristic, right?

“I remember this is the description of the ‘Conqueror’ that Amon stole to the ‘Red Angel’ in the original novel.”

After quickly analyzing the meaning expressed in the "retrospective" scene just now, Abner didn't have time to think more and continued to watch the subsequent scenes.

Because a familiar character appears in "Throwback."

It was a man with chestnut hair and blue eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and a beautifully groomed mustache. In his hand was a seal as red as blood.

This is none other than Russell Gustave, the man of the hour who calls himself "Caesar" for more than a hundred years.

Or Huang Tao.

He seemed to be communicating with the seal in his hand, and then he knocked on the door of the castle and walked in with dignity.

When he came out again, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he set up an altar in the center of the courtyard, and took out a "five-color brilliant stone" and placed it on the altar to connect with the "twilight" power on the castle. , causing it to radiate to the entire courtyard.

At the same time, the giants and half-giant souls in the courtyard who were originally trapped in darkness and unable to extricate themselves from nightmares actually woke up a little bit, but they were still confused and unable to wake up...

After doing this, Russell seemed to have said something to the seal again. His face was very excited, as if he had been inspired by something. Then he put on a pale mask with shining metallic luster and left the courtyard in an instant.

Seeing this, after Abner clarified many doubts - for example, he had previously felt that the arrangement of the "barrier" was not like the Fourth Age method, he picked up his chin and thought:

"That fiery red seal should be the 'Disaster Seal' that I have always heard about, but this is the first time I have seen it in real form...

"It seems to have a good relationship with Russell... However, I don't feel much 'familiarity' when I look at it... Is it because it doesn't look human?

"It seems that there is a big difference between traveling through time into a sealed object and traveling through time into a human being...

"In addition, the 'Five Color Brilliant Stone' was actually placed here by Russell... plus the lion volunteered his brain before... I'm afraid it's not a coincidence!

"Russell had known for a long time that future travelers would be of the 'Reader' path? Or was it the 'Disaster Seal' who told him? Or was it something he 'predicted'?

"And judging from this scene, the previous nightmare question and answer seems to be his 'arrangement'... Although I think it is more likely that the goddess made the arrangement through his hands...

"Also, Russell's expression before leaving seemed a bit eager to try... Could it be that his inspiration for building the 'Dream Maze Tower' came from these different types of nightmare scenes?

"Finally, all the 'retrospections' so far have been unable to reproduce the sound... This may be the influence of the 'dark' power remaining in the courtyard. After all, 'silence' is also one of the powers of darkness."

At this time, the "retrospective" scene changed the protagonist again. Azik Eggers, holding a notebook in his left hand and a portrait in his right hand, stepped out of the castle. He and Abner knew each other. That gentle-tempered gentleman was different. His eyes were full of indifference, as if he was looking down on all living things!

At the same time, a woman wearing a "Greed" mask entered this nightmare from the stream outside the courtyard. When she saw Azik walking out of the castle, she thought that Azik had obtained all the benefits of the ruins, but he directly "Dragonized" and "greedily" launched an attack on it.

However, how could a Sequence 3 "Dream Weaver" be the opponent of the "Death Archon" who was almost in its prime? He soon died peacefully at the entrance of the courtyard. His body also rotted quickly, with pieces of flesh falling off, leaving only the skeleton. , the blood gathered under him into a pool of bloody water.

The extraordinary items, materials, gold coins and other things she carried with her were also scattered all over the place, some fell in the courtyard, and some fell outside the courtyard.

After her extraordinary characteristics were separated, they were integrated with a mystical book she carried with her to form a new sealed object.

Only the mask she wore before disappeared.

Mr. Azik had no interest in this, and directly passed over her skeleton. While the portrait was still outside the courtyard, he followed the hidden stream and left the dreamland.

Not long after this, a fisherman stumbled into this place with confused eyes. As soon as he saw the dragon skeleton and the sealed book under the skeleton, his spirit was contaminated and he disappeared while shouting. He should have returned to reality. …

"But he also went crazy because of it..." Abner sighed. He recalled the scene just now, shook his head at the behavior of the lady wearing the "greedy" mask, and thought to himself: How unthinkable she is. Would you take the initiative to attack an angel?

This person should be the missing teacher of the "Greedy" lady I met before... Judging from the mask she wears, she should be "Greedy" from the "Psychological Alchemy Society" of the previous generation or generations.

This kind of personality mask is really evil. It is not easy to take off after wearing it for too long... Haha, are psychiatrists really the craziest in this world? After all, the guy at the top has no humanity...

After complaining for a while, Abner thought about the portrait thrown down by Mr. Azik and the items "exploded" by the lady who "turned into a dragon" to commit suicide, and speculated:

"Those things should be the 'treasures' taken away by the caravan that strayed into this nightmare recently...

"The legacy of a demigod can indeed be regarded as a great treasure...

"But where did the mysterious book combined with the characteristics go?

"Was it also taken away by someone in that caravan?

“But although there are several Beyonders in that caravan, it’s impossible for them to come into contact with a sealed artifact of this level, right?

"No... they are not Russell and Azik. I'm afraid they can't even get in even with the barrier that Russell put up with the 'Five Color Brilliant Stones'!"

“Could it be that the book had ‘wisdom’, ‘came’ to life, and actively controlled someone to escape from here?”

The next "retrospective" scene verified Abner's guess. The only thing that surprised him was that after the fishermen and before the caravan, Crossfia actually entered this place with another fisherman...

And the occult book that was combined with the characteristics of the "Dream Weaver" was taken away by her!
