Mystery: Paradox Path

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray fog, you are the king of yellow and black in charge of good luck, thank you for your grace, allowing me to have a wonderful morning..."

The prayers recited in the ancient Hermes language were passed back and forth in the spiritually closed room, as if turned into an infinite echo, reaching the sky above.

"Crack!"

It was as if some solid shell had finally shattered, and Snow suddenly felt a shock. Then, an illusory shattering sound enveloped his spirituality with a strange feeling, as if he had poured a lot of water on him while he was in the sauna. Like a scoop of water, a large amount of steam began to merge with his body, as if endless heat was pouring into his body.

No need for any labeling, he clearly realized that his Brittan's Donkey Potion had been completely digested.

"However, it seems that there is still a bit of mental residue in the difficulty of choosing. Is it because the part of Brittan's Donkey has not been completed? Or is it the sequelae of forcibly entering the mental imprint?" Snow tried to construct two options in his mind, and suddenly felt spiritual There were signs of instability again, so I hurriedly took out a coin and tossed it, deciding that after eating butter toast this morning, I finally stabilized my spirituality.

Although this kind of spiritual instability was much better than the situation where he almost lost control by making a little choice before, it was not even enough to really affect his mental state, but he still decided not to consider promotion [Pavlov's Dog] , but try to play "Bridan's donkey" and see if you can digest this residual negative influence.

As for how Brittan's Donkey should be played...

Of course, there are a lot of choices and make the right choice!

After figuring this out, Snow ended his career as a dead house and put up a resumption of business sign on the door. Then, as always, he put on a half-height silk top hat and a high-neck double-breasted dress to hide his handsome face. in the shadow of the hat.

But this time, he didn't bring Lily. First, because Lily needed to play the role of an assassin, and secondly, because Lily was too recognizable, if she carried it with her, it would be easy to lose her vest.

After taking a taxi to the Chowood area, I found a private house with ease, and then changed into a working-class dress with a cap and overalls, and then continued to move towards the bridge area.

To put it bluntly, Backlund is a place with a very clear class division. Whether you belong to this area or not can be concluded just by looking at your clothes. If Snow, who lives in the West District, goes out wearing civilian clothes, he may even be patrolled by the police. As a thief, he was caught and questioned, and he was wearing a dress and wandering in the bridge area. Even if he was not beaten and robbed by a sap, he would probably be stared at by countless pairs of eyes.

It is precisely because of this that Backlund has various trading platforms. For example, Mr. A's trading platform is located at the junction of the West District and Queens District. Most of the new customers are nobles and relatively wealthy classes.

And Mr. Isengard Stanton's extraordinary party is placed in the bridge area, which means that he faces more extraordinary people who need to take risks.

This is not to say that Isengard Stanton's Extraordinary Party is of a lower grade than Mr. A, it is mainly due to the difference in purpose.

Mr. A needs to act as a shepherd and develop believers. Naturally, he would rather be short than excessive, hoping to attract people of higher status.

And Isengard Stanton, as a keeper/detective, needs to be in contact with three religions and nine streams, and compared with those big men who just want to experience the extraordinary, those who have little money but find a party have a higher probability of selling extraordinary items. Moreover, they are adventurous everywhere, and the efficiency of obtaining information is obviously higher than those of the descendants of nobles (especially extraordinary intelligence).

Following the memory of his predecessor, Snow pushed open the door of the Brave Bar, and, under the impact of the smell of sweat and alcohol, quickly came to the counter, lowered the brim of his hat, and hid his disguised face in the shadows. A soli came to the table and asked:

"Is Caspers here?"

The bartender pulled the coins behind the counter,

He pointed to the corner of the side with his chin - "No. 3 billiard room."

"Thank you." Snow nodded, bypassing the gamblers who were venting their adrenaline for the dog-to-mouse bet, without knocking on the door, and went straight into the pool room No. 3.

Seeing that someone broke in without knocking on the door, the two who were playing raised their heads almost at the same time, but when they saw Snow's slightly raised brim, the old white man with the big nose immediately put the club aside. , said very familiarly:

"I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you were dead!"

"I almost thought I was going to die!" Snow spread his hands and watched the man in zero clothes leave the room wisely, before revealing a wry smile, "Seriously, if the Waltz Party hadn't collapsed, I'd still be here. Tingen is in the nest!"

"So when you found out you were being followed, you should have come to me directly, instead of leaving Backlund after leaving a letter! It's obviously something that can be settled with a little money, but I don't think you can trust me!" Casper Si's tone was a little excited. For this old man who had a good relationship with his predecessor, Snow just shook his head and said:

"This matter is not as simple as you think. The Waltz Party also has a backstage. The ghost knows if the relationship with your side will be worse! You also know that my profession requires connections. If I stink my reputation, Am I still messing around?"

"Fame? 'The veterinary gentleman' counts as fame? Or does 'the lady killer' count as fame? Your dead father has wanted to restore his noble status all his life, but now you are here to restore your relationship with noble ladies, right?" Caspers' words were very explicit, and Snow suddenly laughed dryly when he heard the words, skipping the topic and saying:

"Instead of this, I want to ask about the party you mentioned..."

"Don't think about it for a while!"

Caspars interrupted Snow's words:

"Although that party is still open, there is always something wrong with the atmosphere. If you came to ask me, I guess I heard the wind? Anyway, wait for the limelight to pass."

Hearing Kaspers' words, Snow relaxed a little, not because the party was still there, but because—Kaspers was credible.

The reason why he chose to come here today is because he saw the Eye of Wisdom in the newspaper, which is the news of the meeting of Isengard Stanton's extraordinary gathering. As for why he came to ask since he knew the code, of course he wanted to see the memory of this predecessor. Is the "friend" in the book really that reliable?

However, since the other party would make this kind of reminder, it is obviously the kind of person who can communicate with each other relatively, Snow also inherited the relationship of his predecessor from the good, and said with a smile:

"If that's the case, then I'll wait."
