Mystery: Start with the Reader

Although he knew that this was a dream, the magnificence of this tower was beyond Abner's imagination! The height alone makes any human wonders difficult to hold a candle to. Even the skyscrapers of hundreds of meters in the previous life are small and inconspicuous in front of this tower.

"It's really high!" When he got close, Xio, who was only 1.5 meters tall, tried to raise his neck, but he couldn't even see the bottom of the tower. He could only see the black clouds wrapped around the center of the tower... As for the tower The top, that's close at hand, after all, the tower is upside down.

But even the relatively slender top of the tower must have a diameter of more than ten miles, and other entrances can be vaguely seen when looking far away, but the areas of each entrance are independent of each other, and there are mysterious forces blocking them.

"Each dream gate will reach the corresponding entrance, so we won't encounter supernatural beings entering from other gates in the secret labyrinth. At least the first three floors are like this." Mr. Gaston stood in front of the entrance and introduced.

So maybe there are still 'players' confrontation scripts in the next few layers? Abner felt more and more that this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' was created by Emperor Roselle.

After entering the entrance and confirming the state of the three-person team, Abner felt a blur before his eyes, and then appeared inside a house.

He looked around and found that it was a large suite with four bedrooms and one living room, with two bathrooms, a kitchen and a storage room. Don't ask him how he knew such details, because the plan structure of the room was hung on the wall picture. However, the furniture in the house seemed a little old, with a strong Intis style.

At this time, a line of words written in Hermes script seemed to float before his eyes: "Open the combination lock and leave the house through the gate."

At the same time, the fireplaces in every corner of the house were suddenly opened, and a faint fire flashed through them.

"This is probably a scene where you find some clues to some numbers in the house, and then deduce the password to unlock the door before you can go out. And these fireplaces should be the difficulty of team formation. As time goes by, the temperature will get higher and higher. We will also gradually become dehydrated." After all, Mr. Gaston has cleared the ninth floor a few times, and quickly analyzed the key to the problem.

The secret realm drawn on this level turned out to be a limited-time version of the 'Escape Room'... Abner also understood the current situation, he frowned, and asked, "Can you just break the door lock and get out? "This is not difficult for Extraordinary.

"If you are an expert in lockpicking, you may be able to...but using brute force is not possible, because the first three floors of this tower have a great suppression of extraordinary abilities, and the ninth floor has almost sealed all extraordinary abilities. Of course, The same goes for Extraordinary items!" Mr. Gaston replied helplessly. If Extraordinary items were useful, why would he spend money to hire detectives? Even the detective he trusted.

Xio also frowned, since she was a half-arbitrator from birth, she was not quite used to not having extraordinary abilities. However, she still came to the gate in a few steps. After carefully inspecting the door lock composed of countless gears and bearings, she shook her head at Abner and said, "It's a very complicated mechanical combination lock. If my arbitrator The strength is still there, maybe you can try to dismantle it violently, but not now." She already felt the weakness of her body, so she didn't make unnecessary attempts.

"Okay, now let's see the detective's performance!" Mr. Gaston looked at Abner, as if waiting to evaluate whether his money was worth it.

Abner didn't answer, but opened his pure white eyes and looked directly at the door lock. After further digesting the 'reasoning student' potion, he has stronger control over the pure white eyes, at least he can forcefully specify the specific target of analysis, otherwise he would not dare to open his eyes in this extremely mysterious dream maze , who knows what will be parsed out.

About three seconds later, Abner completed the analysis. He closed his eyes and said to Hugh beside him, "Try these numbers." Then, he reported a series of 15-digit numbers.

"It seems that the personality of the 'Pure White Eye' is higher than this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower', the power of this tower can't seal it at all!"

While Abner was still thinking about his cheating problem, Mr. Gaston, who was waiting for him to investigate, was stunned, completely unable to understand what happened just now.

And Xio had a deep feeling about Abner's 'sudden knowledge', so he didn't doubt it at all, and directly typed the password.

Then, with the sound of 'click' and 'click' turning of the mechanical lock, the door of the house slowly opened.

Mr. Gaston, who watched this scene, was stunned for a long time without saying a word, and after Abner began to urge him, he asked incredulously: "How did you do it?"

Abner straightened his glasses, thinking about what would happen if Mister Fool, or Sherlock, faced this secret room? He appointed an excuse to go to the bathroom, and then walked four steps backwards to the gray mist to divination the door lock code. Finally, when opening the door, say "this is reasoning".

Thinking of this picture, Abner couldn't help but also thought of joking, looked at Mr. Gaston with a smile and said: "This is reasoning!"

"Inference?" Mr. Gaston felt that he suddenly did not understand the word.

But Xio couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and said in his heart: Abner started fooling people in a serious manner again.

After this little episode, the three of them went out of the room together. Following the changes of the surrounding scenes, they entered a huge library that could not be seen at a glance. The library was neatly covered with rows of bookshelves. The breath of knowledge is extremely strong.

"This is between the rewards. All the books on the bookshelf are protected by inexplicable forces, and we can't take them down at all. We can only get the rewards." When Gaston said this, his serious expression became complicated for the first time , sometimes fanatical, sometimes regretful.

"How to get the reward?" Abner asked after briefly looking at it.

"After sitting on those seats, the rewards will automatically appear in your hands." Mr. Gaston replied, pointing to the tables and chairs not far away. It seemed like an ordinary library seat for people who read books.

Abner nodded, and took the lead to go over and sit down, and then an old thread-bound book suddenly appeared in his hand. He subconsciously looked at the title of the book on the cover - "Gwen's Cave Adventures"

"What is this? A novel? Even if Mr. Gaston said that the rewards on the ninth floor are mediocre, it's not that bad, right?" Confused, Abner flipped through the book, and after a cursory read, I found that this book tells the story of the protagonist Miss Gwen exploring a strange cave, encountering many monsters in it, and finally escaped from the mouth of the longan python and returned to the "Sword and Fire" bar.

"Longyan python?" Abner narrowed his eyes when he saw the word. The 'eyeball of the dragon's eye python' is one of the main ingredients of the 'Knowledge Keeper' potion, and it happens that such a thing is recorded in this novel, obviously it will not be aimless.

"In this way, the reward is to provide information on the main ingredient of the potion...Mr. Gaston said before that if you pass through the level too frequently, you will only reward the knowledge you have already learned and the information that is worthless...In other words, For someone like me who came in for the first time, will I give out the knowledge or very valuable information I want to know?"

Abner thought for a moment, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked Mr. Gaston who had finished reading the book at hand: "Do you know the 'Sword and Fire' bar?"

"It seems that you have got an important clue!" Mr. Gaston glanced at him in surprise, and then replied, "Of course I know, the owner behind this bar is me, and I still hold island meetings regularly Extraordinary party on the Internet."

Are you also keen on throwing extraordinary parties? No wonder he and the teacher are friends... After Abner complained in his heart, he asked again: "So, this bar has not been established for a long time?"

"Yes, I only discovered the underground door of the school three years ago. Afterwards, while working hard to break through the maze, I organized an Extraordinary Party to sell some of the knowledge I gained here." Mr. Gaston nodded.

In other words, the information in this novel is not outdated... Although this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' has been established for at least a hundred years, it seems to have the ability to continuously acquire new information and knowledge.

Abner silently analyzed for a while, then turned to Xio and asked, "Hugh, what valuable information have you obtained?"

Xiu Wenyan raised her head in confusion, pursed her lips and said, "This is a romance novel. I read it several times, but I didn't find anything useful."

"What's in the novel?" Abner could only ask because only the winner could read the award book.

"It's about a love story between a beautiful girl named Sherman and a noble man, and the worst part is that it's not finished, and the story ends when Sherman becomes the mistress of the nobleman... I I always feel that her future ending will not be good." Xio briefly described the content of the story, and looked at Abner expectantly. She always felt that the other party must 'know' again.

Abner really knew what was going on, but there were too many archangels and kings of angels involved, so he dared to talk too much now, so he could only ask: "What is the name of that nobleman?" At the same time, he sighed in his heart: Hugh! The information she wanted to know the most turned out to be the clues to her father's injustice.

"It's strange that it's not, because it's written in the first person. Miss Sherman has always been dear to the title of that nobleman." Hugh is actually very strange about this detail.

That's because if the name of the noble is given, the value of this information may exceed the limit allowed by the ninth floor reward...

Abner didn't say it directly, but said in slightly vague words: "Maybe you will meet that Miss Sherman in the future, and you will know what's going on then."

Xiu heard the words and nodded helplessly, no longer entangled in this question.

Afterwards, the three of them took a short break and came to the other side of the reward room, where there was a passage leading to the next floor.

As to what knowledge M. Gaston acquired, he did not say, and Abner did not ask.

As the surrounding scenery changed, the three of Abner appeared in front of a mountain villa out of thin air.
