Mystery: Start with the Reader

The little boy with smooth yellow hair looked at the gear book in Derrick's hand when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and there was great confusion in his eyes. After a while, he said as if recalling:

"I picked it up among the ruins... It was the remains of a mountain that seemed to have fallen from the sky...

“And this book was found in a half-collapsed tower on the mountain where we had spent the night.

“Dad said it was the creation of a group of sinners who rebelled against the Lord…

"It's a fallen star...

"I remember that I always carried it with me...how did it appear in your hands?"

Derrick did not answer his question, but continued to ask: "Why do you carry this book with you?"

"Because wearing it can keep me awake..." the little boy Jack said, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face, "By the way, it can also make those unsightly things quiet... make me less so. Hungry……"

"What's not good-looking?" Derrick asked cautiously.

The little boy Jack did not answer, but opened his clothes to reveal his naked chest and abdomen.

There, there are two eyes, a nose, and a mouth embedded in it!

They were neither painted nor pieced together with precious stones. They were made up of real eyes, a real nose and a real mouth, and they did not look like a group with each other, as if they belonged to three people.

Suddenly, Derrick imagined a picture: after the little boy Jack ate his companions, he used their remaining eyes, noses and mouths to form a strange human face between his chest and abdomen.

The man's face was gentle and indifferent, making Derrick feel familiar inexplicably.

In just a second or two, Derrick figured out the reason for the familiarity:

This face is very similar to the angel in the mural above, the silver-haired angel with feet on the circulating river!

Sure enough, the reason we keep exploring again and again comes from Him! Derrick's heart moved, and he blurted out a word, as if he wanted to give a spell to relieve the predicament.

"Redemption Rose!" he shouted solemnly.

The little boy Jack raised his head and stared at him blankly. He opened his mouth little by little and reached to the base of his ears:

"I am so hungry……

"So hungry...

"Give it to me quickly!"

...Derrick was stunned for a moment and saw the fierce battle.

When he regained consciousness, he sat back down by the campfire.

"Redemption Rose" is not a spell... Maybe we should listen to Mr. "Tower"'s suggestion and give the chief some hints... He began to reflect deeply.

…

Above the gray mist, Klein sat at the top of the long bronze table, tapping his fingers as he looked at the surrounding light curtains, admiring the praying figures without expression.

Although it was very vague, Klein still recognized the other person as the vampire Emlyn White at a glance.

You are very courageous. Did you take the initiative to buy a doll?

Klein sighed and did not respond.

Although he wanted to find out the true purpose of the vampires, there was no need to put himself in danger. After all, there was no other way...

Klein looked at Emlyn White among the crimson stars, smiled and said to himself:

"I can delay the response..."

He planned to wait until Emlyn left the side of the high-level Vampires before responding... Of course, the premise was to confirm the risks through divination in advance.

Just when he was about to leave the ancient palace above the gray mist and return to reality, suddenly, another unfamiliar crimson star expanded and contracted.

Klein was not surprised. Ever since the "Aurora Society" publicized the honorable name of "The Fool", there have always been some people who were not afraid of death or ignorant to try. He has long been used to it - although this affected his sleep to some extent.

Sometimes Klein wants to find someone to spread the news. For example: The best time for a ritual to pray to “The Fool” is during the day?

But I’m afraid that the members of the Tarot Society will also believe it...

While thinking, Klein skillfully performed divination, and after confirming that there was no danger in viewing this newly emerged "dark red star", he "clicked" it to reveal the images and sounds it contained:

A woman in a black robe sat alone on the bed. She clasped her hands in front of her mouth and nose in a praying posture.

Similar to when he observed Emlyn just now, her appearance was also blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.

But Klein still recognized the identity of this woman at a glance—"Necromancer Tutor" Daly Simone!

Dai Li actually prayed to me? Why? Is this a test by the Nighthawks? But the results of my divination just now show that there is no danger...

While feeling surprised, Klein also heard the other party's prayer clearly:

"The fool who does not belong to this era,

"The mysterious master above the gray fog,

"The king of yellow and black who controls good luck,

"I beg you to let me meet Dunn Smith..."

This... Ms. Dai Li seems to have misunderstood something... I only found out about Dunn's death through your report through that mirror...

Moreover, why don't you ask Arrods this question instead of praying to me, the evil god... no, the secret existence? Could it be that, in her opinion, Arrodes' "deterrence" was greater than that of an unknown, secretive being?

Or...like Emlyn, Ms. Daly is just a pawn being used for testing?

Klein tapped his fingers on the surface of the mottled long table, and finally decided to use the same treatment method as Emlyn, and wait until Ms. Daly left the current environment before responding.

"But unlike Emlyn, Ms. Dai Li's own motives are very clear...and I happen to know where the captain is. Maybe I can help her realize her dream? Give her a surprise and a miracle..."

…

In a single-family house in Jowood District.

Abner, who had returned to his own appearance, mentioned the abnormality of His Highness Tiwila to Xio and asked her to pay attention to it.

After hearing this, Xiu shook his head and said, "I am very aware of the many anomalies in Your Highness... She may have her own purpose, but she probably doesn't have any bad intentions towards me."

His Highness has always valued her and has never harmed her, so he is not willing to make malicious speculations about her.

Abner knew that Xio was such a person. As long as he helped her and never hurt her, she would be sincere in return, so he had many friends...including himself, and this was how he gained her trust.

He stopped trying to persuade her. After all, His Highness might really just appreciate Xio... What's more, even if the other party really had some conspiracy, even if he really wanted to use Xio for something, he wouldn't suddenly turn against her...

When Abner was thinking about this, Xio hesitated and said to him: "By the way, His Highness seems to have had several appointments with the royal family's advisor, Hervin Rambis, recently...

"They didn't seem to get along at first, but after a summons from the king, the latter seemed to compromise and finally reached an agreement.

"But from what I've seen, their relationship is only superficially harmonious."

Hvin Rambis? Isn’t this the “arrogance” of one of the committee members of the “Psychological Alchemy Society”?

"Pride" only reached an agreement with Princess Vera under the mediation of the king? What conflicts have they had before?

Abner pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt that the original plot seemed to have been changed beyond recognition by the "butterfly".

…

In the military base in the southern suburbs of the Western District, Her Royal Highness Vera looked at a major officer opposite and asked: "Eri Hogg, how is the matter?"

"The 'Eye of the Goddess' has arrived, and the amnesiac angels of the Eggers family will soon find clues. At that time, I will 'arrange' for them to enter there...

"Tomorrow, at least one of Augustus' Chaos Hunters will die." "Major" said confidently.
