Mystery: Start with the Reader

After everyone chatted for a while, they prepared to take a rest... It was just after early morning, and there was still some time before the train departed at 9 a.m., so they still had to rest as much as possible.

After all, riding a steam train is quite "consuming" physical energy, and even a first-class private room is actually not very comfortable...

Only Forsi looked at the hot spring water and felt a little pity... After all, no matter how clean the "magic mirror" was "eating" the corpses, there would still be a lot of blood flowing into the hot spring... At least tonight it was not suitable to soak in the hot spring again. .

Seeing this, Abner was moved in his heart and stopped them again.

Under the puzzled gazes of three ladies and a lion, he communicated with the "golden glasses" spiritually, and then led everyone into the "Alvin Abraham's Answer Maze".

——Although the official will not notice any abnormalities in the "Gentle Words" hotel in the short term, some of the "demons" who escaped before may come back. This place is essentially no longer suitable for rest.

Only this time, he did not appear in the classroom where he answered questions, but in the interior of a luxurious villa.

This villa is not only luxuriously decorated, has many rooms, but also has its own hot spring pool, which can make up for the regrets of Forsi and the others.

This is one of the privileges of Level 4 authority held by Abner. He can rent a "mansion" in the "Maze" for 50 gold pounds per day. .

Although the asking price is quite dark, Abner doesn't care. After all, this "Answer Maze" still owes him more than 600,000 yuan, and every penny of interest every day is more than 60 pounds. This amount of rent does not even need to be deducted. Debt principal.

On the other side, Forsi, Elaine and Fanny saw that Abner had no intention of explaining and did not ask any more questions. Instead, after choosing their rooms, they happily went to the direction of the hot spring pool.

Only "Lion" Leon looked around, then looked at the wall clock dial that was completely different from the outside world. The lion's face said strangely: "The feeling of this environment is very similar to my 'den' in Daniel Lake..."

They are all transformed from the "Mirror World", of course... Abner glanced at him and asked casually: "Where did you learn the Mirror World transformation technology to build the 'Lair'?"

This "Answer Maze" was extremely tricky. The "mansion" was renovated as required and then displayed directly, without giving him a chance to "learn" at all.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to develop the "Mansion Technique"...

"Of course Russell learned it." "Lion" Leon said matter-of-factly.

The Emperor is really an all-rounder... But that's right, he seems to have had "in-depth" communication with many witches, and he is indeed no stranger to the "mirror world".

With endless thoughts running through his mind, Abner helped Leon arrange a room and then "teleported" to a huge palace with a five-story platform.

The pillars, steps, and floors of this palace seem to be all made of gold, which makes people unable to open their eyes...

"Except for the color palette, the layout of this palace is very similar to the main hall in the deepest part of Daniel's Labyrinth...especially the 'sacrifice' platform in front of the platform on each floor, which can be said to be exactly the same.

"It's just that what I sacrificed was '1-025', so that the third floor of Daniel's Labyrinth could be opened... And what needs to be 'sacrifice' on each floor here is money..."

"Perhaps Daniel also obtained the work of this predecessor of 'Wanderer' back then?"

Abner is currently on the fourth floor, which corresponds to level 4 authority, and can travel to and from the first to fourth floors at will. However, when he wanted to climb to the fifth floor, he was blocked by an invisible force.

He returned to the first floor first, only to see a very shabby and shabby piece of clothing here.

"Is this what Herta left behind? It turns out that he is only the holder of Level 1 authority.

"I saw in the "Book of Knowledge" extracted from his soul that he likes to dress up as a beggar when performing tasks... He obviously has a net worth of hundreds of thousands, but he likes to pretend to be a beggar. I'm afraid it's not a serious illness. ?

"Moreover, this dress is so worn that even the 'Answer Maze' who wants money would reject it..."

After clicking his tongue a few times, Abner glanced at the contents of Level 1 permissions and realized that he might have mistakenly blamed Herta.

It turns out that Level 1 permissions give holders very few abilities. They can only rent a small space of less than 5 square meters, and they have to pay for entry and exit... and the fee is based on a person's value.

If you dress too well, the value will be higher and you will have to pay more... This may be the main reason why Hertha dresses like that.

While thinking in his mind, Abner walked along the stairs one by one, and focused on reading the permissions of each level and the list of holders who had reached this level.

Just like that, when he browsed to the third floor, he suddenly discovered an unexpected but reasonable name: Russell Gustave.

"The Great Emperor was also the holder of the 'Answer Maze'?

"One of the conditions for the third-level authority is to answer 8 questions correctly. It seems that the emperor was obsessed with the last two questions and did not enter the fourth-level platform.

"Speaking of which, the mechanism of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' is actually somewhat similar to this 'Alvin Abraham Answer Labyrinth'... Maybe the Emperor got inspiration here, and then he built that strange thing after becoming the 'Emperor of Knowledge' Is it a thing?"

While Abner was thinking, he suddenly saw the flashing "Details" prompt under the Emperor's name, which was very similar to the "Details" of the alien planet that had to be "paid to view" before...

This is the "leave message" function that was only available at the third level of authority, and the emperor is the only person on this level who can "leave a message" because there are no other holders of the third level authority.

"10 pounds? It's not too expensive..." After looking at the price, Abner directly "swiped" the debt and "clicked" on the content.

Immediately afterwards, a deep voice sounded: "Although the questions are different every time, they all seem to conform to some kind of internal logic... There may be some deep meaning in these questions... Unfortunately, the ninth question is different every time I don’t even know the answer to, and I’ve never seen what the tenth question is.”

Is this the end? No wonder it’s only worth 10 pounds and has no useful information at all!

As for the possible connotations of those questions, Abner had actually made some guesses after answering the questions, but he hadn't had time to sort them out yet. After all, it might have been his misunderstanding.

But since the Emperor also feels this way, it cannot be a misunderstanding...

Abner thought about the previous question and thought:

"The first question asked about 'Dragon Balls', and the answer was 'Dragon'... On the surface, this question is about animation, but it may actually be alluding to 'Wish' and 'Miracle'... And the senior 'Wanderer' is indeed in The ceremony of the 'Miracle Master' is being prepared in the Kingdom of Darkness.

"The second and third questions are two historical questions. The questions and answers are nothing special, but they are historical events after the Battle of the Four Emperors and the Pale Disaster in the Fourth Age respectively.

"This should correspond to the era when the 'Blood Duke' Rhine Carnaldia and the 'Death Archon' Vicente Miranda were active.

“Maybe it’s a hint to these two time travelers.

"The fourth question asked me to improve a ritual...

"Combined with the above, this reminds me that if I want the senior Wanderer to become a 'Miracle Master' and get out of the 'Land of Night', I have to rely on the knowledge left by the two seniors Rhine and Vicente to transform into a perfect fusion." The Wanderer's body's secrets?

"So questions 23 actually refer to "Feast of Blood" and "Necronomicon"?

"Then, the fifth and sixth questions are two anime questions, asking about the 'Battle on the Top' and 'The name of the potion that Conan was drunk' from "One Piece"...

"The 'Battle on the Top'...is this a hint at the war between gods? What does the body-shrinking potion in Conan imply?

"The seventh question asked about the 'Miracle Master' again... What does this mean? God's war requires the ability of the 'Miracle Master' 1?

"Question 8, 'Huaqiang Buys Melons'... Is this TV series called 'Conquest'? 'Conqueror'? Could the Conan in front of it be a metaphor for 'Death'?

"Question 9: 'The name of Medusa's magic eye'...'Kubler'.

“In the setting of Xingyue, Medusa is the belittled ancient Mother Goddess of Earth, and ‘Kubler’ is the name of that ancient Mother Goddess of Earth.

“So, this refers to the ‘Earth Mother Goddess’?

“As for the last question, there is no doubt that it refers to the goddess of the night.

"But what do these mean together?"

Looking at the keywords listed in front of him, Abner couldn't help but complain:

"You can't possibly want to tell me that the prerequisite for my participation in the 'Battle on the Top' is to 'conquer' the Earth Mother Goddess and the Night Goddess by 'filling in medicine', right?

"Hey! I'm a 'detective', not a 'decryption scholar'. I'm really not very good at analyzing this kind of thing..."
