Mystery: Start with the Reader

Very strange experiment? Abner opened the notebook and saw Abby's name on the title page.

He had some impressions of this woman. Before leaving Byam, "Lion" Leon specifically warned her of the danger.

"I remember she should be the daughter of a gang leader, the mistress of Governor Byam..." Abner said casually as he continued to read.

"That's just her fake identity. In fact, you can tell after reading the diary that she doesn't remember her origins at all. The experiment caused her to lose most of her memories." Klein paused here and then He added, "By the way, what I'm showing you is just the version I asked Mr. Fool to 'reveal'. Reading the original version of this notebook will make people very painful."

Pain... Abner frowned and asked, "Can you feel it while reading here?"

"So will..." Klein said with certainty.

He did not explain why Mr. Fool would behave like this. He just asked about "equivalent exchange" and "the price cannot be paid."

That is indeed special. It can interfere with Klein's senses above the gray mist. It must be an angel-level power at least, right?

While thinking in his mind, Abner carefully read the contents of the diary.

Soon, words such as "Experiment", "Five Survivors", "Bianca", "Lofia", "Pale Admiral", etc. came into his eyes...

It turns out that in Bianca's memory, she was not the only test subject in the experiment that gave her the ability to plunge the "master" into "doom" eleven years ago...

Could "Pale Admiral" Maria be the product of this experiment?

In other words, among the gods, at least the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" did not know about this experiment, otherwise he would not have specially "arranged" the "Immortal King" to test "Pale Admiral" Maria before.

The result of His temptation was that Mary "distorted" her understanding of "evil" and let extreme justice replace her indulgent "malice" in order to digest the magic potion...

That "pale justice" is a tool to collect her "malice" and make her look like a normal person...

If Maria is really the product of an experiment, then this matter is definitely inseparable from Lao Huang! After all, "Pale Justice" was transformed by him himself, and the transformation was completed nearly a hundred years ahead of schedule!

If the abilities obtained by the five survivors through this experiment are regarded as high-level pollution...

Then there is no doubt that Maria has acquired some kind of "twisted" power, so only she can "indulge" in this relatively "positive" way... The Black Emperor? No, even a true god can only adjust this path and cannot affect the performance of other paths... Only the old days can be affected to this extent! It's the sephiroth!

So that's it... What the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" really wants to test is this... That's right, only the power of the old level is worthy of Him personally "arranging" and "guiding", right?

So, did Maria actually gain some power from the "State of Disorder" or the "Mist of Uncertainty"?

Well, considering the situations of several other survivors, the former is more likely...

Make bold assumptions and verify carefully... The essence of that experiment may be to use something to communicate with other sources sealed by the "Origin Castle", leaking a little pollution!

Based on this speculation, Miss Abby's "pain" undoubtedly comes from the witch and from the "City of Disaster".

Miss Bianca's "bad luck" may be many, and there may be many ways related to "luck" and "destiny", such as "River of Eternal Darkness", "Key of Light", "City of Disaster", and "Wildness of Knowledge" It's possible!

The missing Luofia mentioned in the diary has the ability to restore destroyed items under extreme emotions... Is this a bit like "Restart Destiny"... "Key of Light"?

As for the last survivor, Abby did not record it in her diary. It may be that she deliberately concealed it, or she may not know about it.

To sum it up, eleven years ago, a certain person or organization conducted an experiment on an unknown number of people to communicate with the "source material" sealed in the Western Continent. In the end, only five people survived, and there was a high probability that They were all contaminated by the source of matter, and thereby acquired some active or passive abilities that were almost uncontrollable.

Wait...eleven years ago!

Thinking of this, Abner suddenly got another clue, that is, in the mind of the "Witch King" whose characteristics were taken away by Helen before, there was also a blocked memory from a year ago, which was interpreted by Crossfia. Just a few words.

I remember one of the sentences was about a strange spiritual body that walked out of the box, was of a very high status, but had no extraordinary characteristics to support it...

The box...could it refer to the "Box of Gods"?

The "Disaster Queen" Goshinam in the previous dream cave said that the "God's Box" was empty, and it must have been opened by another one of her...

Could that special spirit that came out of the box be the conductor of the experiment?

I see, what I really need to investigate in the long-term mission given to me by Lilith are these secrets!

Haha, the "Essences" in the original work didn't "jump" like this. It's probably the fault of some senior time traveler to become what they are now. No wonder Lilith asked me to investigate...

After clearing his thoughts, Abner flipped through the contents at the back of the diary and found that they were all about Abby's "painful" experiences. He glanced at them briefly and kept the contents in his mind for later use, and then thought about it. :

"I commissioned you to 'divide' the 'God's Box' before. Did you get any results?"

"I relied on 'Dream Divination' and saw some interesting pictures..." Klein said, pretending to pray, and then materialized a picture in the center of the long bronze table.

The first thing that appears in the picture is a man wearing a simple loose robe. His ears are pointed and towering, his facial contours are softer, his hair is thick, black and blue are intertwined with each other, and his facial features are not only outstanding individually, but also in combination. He is even more handsome together, but he intuitively gives people a violent feeling.

At this time, the man was handing a heavily sealed box into the hands of the "Disaster Queen".

The picture changed, and the "God of Luck" appeared again. He seemed to be attracted by something and unlocked a seal... But then, he covered his eyes.

——Because Mr. "Tower" has appeared in the murals of the Elf Temple, they all recognize the appearance of the "God of Luck".

The scene ends here.

Is this the end? What about the back? Who really emptied this box...and what else was released...didn't all of it be divined?

While thinking this in his mind, Abner looked at Klein.

Klein naturally understood what he meant, but he could only spread his hands and said: "Ever since the God of Luck covered his eyes, I haven't been able to divine the picture anymore..."

That's it...open your eyes...are you opening your "pure white eyes"? The "Box of God" is therefore connected to the "Unknown Land" behind the "Pure White Eye", so it interferes with Klein's divination?

However, the "God of Luck" only unlocked one seal... But looking at the action of covering his eyes, just one seal made him notice something, and even released something...

While Abner was thinking, Klein canceled the picture and asked instead: "Do you have any speculations after reading that diary? What exactly happened in that experiment?"

When asked, Abner was silent for a few seconds before replying thoughtfully: "They were all polluted at a high level... The reason why they survived is that they were lucky, and they probably obtained some great beings afterwards. s concern."

"For example, Abby who joined the 'Rose School of Thought' and believed in the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and the 'Pale Admiral' who was originally from the 'Spiritual Religion'?" Klein said thoughtfully.

According to the information detected by Crossfia, Bianca received the attention of the "Hidden Sage" after the experiment.

As for Luofia and another person whose name is not yet known, there should be no exception.

"Who or what type of pollution does high-level pollution refer to?" Klein asked again at this time.

Abner shook his head and said: "This is not what you should know now... Well, if you insist on knowing, you can also pray to Mr. Fool. If he needs you to know, he will definitely tell you."

"..." Klein was speechless for a while, and complained in his heart: Do I tell myself that I am "lonely"?

After thinking for a while, he changed the question: "Do you know about the 'Shadow World'?"

"...This is something you shouldn't know..." Abner answered with some confusion as he didn't know where Klein saw this term.

Well, the most likely thing is Russell's diary... the page that Forsi turned in? Abner thought of this and glanced at Klein. Seeing that he had no intention of showing him the diary, he also guessed what he was thinking: After all, the diary belongs to Mr. Fool. How could he give it to others without any cost every time? look.

Of course, Klein may also think that I can see it from Forsi... Well, when I help Forsi hunt the "Three-Eyed Thunderbird" tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will take a look at what is written on that page of the diary.

While his thoughts were spinning, Abner told Klein that the five survivors might be involved in the mission assigned by the gods, and asked him to help capture Abby, while also asking for information about Lofia and another unknown survivor. .

Klein agreed and said that he had entrusted the "Pale Admiral" to search for Abby.

"'Pale Admiral' seems to have a different regard for you?" Abner said with a strange expression.

Klein knew what he was thinking, but he was also a little confused about it. He only replied: "She said that 'Pale Justice' showed affection and kindness to me..."

"Pale Justice"? I don’t know what material this sword is made of... But what is certain is that it is alive, and it recognizes the aura of "Origin Castle"... Could it be a "dog licker" similar to Arrods? "Bar?

After a few slanders, Abner exchanged some information before saying goodbye to Klein.

But at this time, Klein seemed to have remembered something, and stopped him again, and asked him to transfer the main ingredients of the "General Knowledge" potion he had collected to Melissa...

…

Backlund, in a cafe near King's Avenue.

Melissa held a ceramic spoon and gently stirred the black tea with lemon. From time to time, she looked sideways at the window covered with pale white mist.

Her black gauze hat was placed on the seat next to her. There was a plate of the cheapest toast in front of her, but she didn't take a bite.

Opposite her sat Miss Hazel wearing long gloves. She was accompanying her occult "student" and waiting for Benson who was taking an exam nearby.

As time passed, the mist on the glass window became thicker and thicker. Melissa couldn't help but stretched out her right hand and used her fingers to clear a relatively clear space.

At this moment, Hazel's spirituality seemed to be touched. She couldn't help but turn on her "spiritual vision", and then she saw an eight-legged ghost wolf holding a box in its mouth and rubbing against her calf. .

"What's wrong?" Seeing her occult teacher bending down, Melissa asked in confusion.

Hazel opened the box and looked at it for a few times, then smiled and said, "The main ingredients for your potion are here."
