Mystery: Start with the Reader

Latest website: The original island that Abner and Bernadette set foot on is very large, and is not inferior to Blue Mountain Island.

On the island, one after another huge dark green and almost black trees stand tall, covering the ground and blocking the mountain peaks.

However, in the eyes of the two "information creatures", the entire island was shrouded in a layer of faint and twisted "rules", which seemed very depressing.

"Is this the power of the 'Black Emperor'?" Bernadette's dark eyes returned to normal, and she turned her head and asked Abner.

"Yes...but because your father has not been fully resurrected, this "twisted" power has not yet reached the level of a true god...So, the real danger does not come from Him." Abner He pressed the monocle on his right eye with his left hand and said.

At the same time, the "Hermit's Staff" he held in his right hand pointed forward, and immediately the "mist" constructed by "knowledge" enveloped himself and Bernadette, and their figures disappeared and disappeared. All traces.

This is the embodiment of the effect of "Mysterious Reappearance - Adam Behind Anderson".

They moved forward along a road that looked like it had been opened by humans, and soon entered a forest composed of huge trees.

There is no sound of birds chirping, no roaring of wild beasts, and no movement of crawling insects. It is as peaceful as if time has frozen, and as silent as if no living thing exists.

According to the "Roselle Diary" that Bernadette can roughly understand, there should be many extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the outside world here. Normally it would be quite lively, but now, she feels like she is walking through an uninhabited cemetery. , every giant tree is a tombstone.

Those Extraordinaries with weak minds must have tightened their spirits at this moment, burdened with heavy pressure, and were getting closer to the edge of losing control. However, Bernadette's expression did not change at all. After all, she often "seeked death" I have a lot of experience in exploration, these are just small scenes...

What's more, walking with her was the incarnation of a true God, Abner, who knew everything in her heart.

After walking for nearly two-quarters of an hour, their eyes widened, as the huge trees suddenly became sparse in front of them. Beyond the sparse woods is a large open space, where countless creatures crawl.

Among them are giant red dragons with skin flowing with flames, tree men with wood tumors as eyes and slits as mouths, demon wolves with eight legs, giants with abnormally long limbs, green scales, oily feathers, and only coiled heads. There, like the feathered serpent on the hill, there are various creatures that seem to be a mixture of humans and beasts.

At this time, they were all facing one place, with their upper bodies or heads prostrated, as if they were worshiping an unknown existence.

No one made a sound.

There are even a few humans in here.

One, two, three, four, five... When Bernadette counted how many humanoid creatures there were, her blue pupils suddenly dilated a little.

She remembered mentioning in her diary that there was some kind of strange pollution on the primitive island discovered by her father, which allowed the creatures that died to return here, no matter where the body was, to return to the source.

Among the "knights" who followed Emperor Russell, Green died first, and then William and Purley, but except for the three of them, no one else died in the corresponding incident. At this time, those extraordinary or mutated people There are five people in the creature.

Who are the other two?

She couldn't help but look at Abner beside her.

After receiving Bernadette's "knowledge-seeking" gaze, Abner didn't care whether his "invisibility" would be invalidated because of this, and said directly: "It's Edwards and Benjamin."

Uncle Edwards? Uncle Edwards also returned to this island...Didn't he encounter pollution and didn't die from it...Didn't he move his family to Lemberg and enjoy his old age there?

One thought after another flashed through Bernadette's mind, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she used her "Peeping Eyes" to carefully observe the five people and found that they were all wearing luxurious Russell period clothes. The side face is pale and pale, and the skin is shriveled, looking more like a living corpse than a human being.

"Natural Walker

'They can also regenerate themselves after death. Essentially, they are not much different from the special features of this island. But it is a pity that they are not 'natural walkers'. They are in this situation only because of the 'fallen mother goddess'." Just pollution. "Abner smiled and explained a few words to Bernadette, then took her hand and walked towards the five people who were worshiping.

Bernadette's heart moved as she was being pulled. She could feel that "information" was continuously entering her body through the position of her hands, forming a "barrier" on her spiritual body, so she did not resist. , turned to ask:

"Shall we not observe more?"

"No need...your father is the 'Black Emperor', representing the shadow of order...and the loopholes and shadows on this island where the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' has established the 'death-rebirth order', It's Edwards and Benjamin, it's the old... Emperor Russell who protected them from being completely contaminated... Although it's difficult to get rid of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'. "

When Abner was talking, the two of them had already arrived near the five people and many strange creatures who were worshiping the gods. The latter also straightened up at the same time. The entire primeval forest seemed to come alive at once. They soon walked along different paths. The roads lead to different directions in the virgin forest.

Abner pulled Bernadette and followed Edwards until they arrived at a small wooden house that was incompatible with the surrounding wild atmosphere.

At this point, Abner no longer hid, picked up the "Hermit's Staff" with one hand and pointed forward. At the same time, he borrowed the power of his body to give a new "interpretation" of Edwards's "pollution" attribute.

Wearing luxurious clothes from the Russell period, with all white hair and old appearance, Edwards was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself in disbelief: "I am already dead...why am I here again?" Come alive?

"Am I, like Green and others, already contaminated...

"It seems that the only one who escaped was Karen, who strongly opposed the exploration and did not board the ship..." After he murmured a few words, he suddenly found two more people holding hands in front of him. Edwards stared at them warily for a few seconds, opened his mouth, and said in a low voice:

"your Highness."

Bernadette glanced at Abner, then was silent for two seconds, and then responded: "Uncle Edwards...why are you here?"

"I originally thought it was my destiny, to guard His Majesty... But just now, I thought of everything, but I realized that it might not be that simple." Edwards smiled bitterly and looked at Bell who was holding his hand again. Abner, who was holding Nadai's hand, asked carefully, "Who is this?"

"You can call me Abner Brain. I temporarily shielded you from the 'pollution'. Otherwise, the moment you remembered that you were dead, you would have been cleansed by the 'will' of this island." After Abner gave a simple answer, he continued, "As the emperor's most loyal knight, you should be able to get in touch with him now. Please pass the message for us."

——The other party was both Bernadette's "uncle" and Edwina's great-grandfather, so Abner seemed very polite in his words.

In addition, when he just "explained" the definition of pollution in Edwards, he had a vague "insight" into Lao Huang's current state, and knew that his situation might be better than he imagined.

"Finally, those years before death were not in vain." Abner complained in his heart.

Edwards ignored him and just looked at Bernadette, who pursed her lips and said, "Please inform him on your behalf."

Edwards nodded and closed his eyes, as if he was communicating with someone.

After a while, he turned around and went to the utility room of the wooden house and took out a rusty iron-black axe. Then he said: "Your Majesty asked me to take you there..."

After saying that, he held the ax and walked step by step towards the area behind the wooden house.

Abner and Bernadette looked at each other, then quietly followed Edwards, walking towards the peak of the island among the huge dark green trees and dark sharp shrubs.

That's four or five points

In a matter of seconds, the trees in front suddenly disappeared.

This is not the kind of gradual transition from dense to sparse, until the blank disappears. An invisible line is used as the dividing line, and the huge trees suddenly disappear.

Outside that invisible boundary is a mountain peak several hundred meters high. It is also covered with huge dark green and almost black trees, so that when viewed from a distance, it almost blends into the forest and is indistinguishable. each other.

However, on the side of the mountain facing the three of them, there were no trees in most areas because less than half of the mountain was hollowed out. In the heart of the mountain, a black mausoleum stands there, looking extremely majestic.

Most of it belongs to the mountain itself, and a small part has traces of artificial construction and polishing, which truly explains what it means to "use the mountain as a mausoleum".

Therefore, the shape of this mausoleum is not the usual pyramid shape, but more like a towering mountain peak. It is not symmetrical, but absolutely majestic.

Whether it was the impact of the mausoleum itself or Edwards' cleaning, not a single weed grew on its surface, nor was it covered with the kind of vines that are common on the rest of the mountain.

This allowed Bernadette and Abner to directly see the various words and symbols engraved on the tomb, as well as the heavy stone door nearly thirty meters high that seemed to be prepared for giants.

Bernadette was no stranger to those words and symbols. After a brief identification, she recognized that they either came from the "Civil Code" formulated and promulgated by her father, or belonged to the new social trend he created, or were directly related to some Design drawings of the invention.

The majesty and distortion of the "Black Emperor"... As soon as Abner muttered, Edwards stopped, stood in front of Abner, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Okay, we have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum, and it's time to have an audience.

"But your Majesty has to summon the princess first, so you can stay here for the time being."

After hearing this, Abner planted the "Hermit's Staff" on the ground, then pressed the crystal lens on his right eye and asked with a smile: "I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?"

Edwards frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I said that we have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum and can visit him." After a pause, he added: "Don't keep Your Majesty waiting."

For some reason, he instinctively felt displeased no matter how he looked at this young man...Abner then picked up the staff, saluted, and said with a smile, "Thank you for leading the way."

After saying that, he pulled Bernadette through a heavy stone door easily and entered the interior of the "Black Emperor's" mausoleum.
