Mystery: Start with the Reader

"July 1st...is there anything special?" Xio asked a little puzzled. She didn't think it referred to the present, but thought it happened in a certain year in history.

Abner shook his head and didn't explain, and he didn't know how to explain, he just turned around and said to Mr. Gaston who was still guarding the rear passage: "I know what the source of the infighting here is, come with me !"

"You know again? Do you want to go so fast? I have no idea! Compared with you, I always feel that I am mentally handicapped!" Mr. Gaston wailed for his IQ in his heart, while his face changed again and again, and then he went numb. Nodding, he is also somewhat used to the other party's style of 'knowing all of a sudden' now.

Finally, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, pretending to be calm and asked, "Where do we need to go?"

"Go to the lowest cabin, the person we are looking for is there." Abner replied with certainty. Through the previous clues, he has already determined that this scene is the "Battle Royale at Sea" incident instigated by Litris in the original book!

Seeing Abner and Gaston walking towards the stairwell one after the other, Xio hesitated for a moment, then turned around and told the lady who had lost her love: "You hide yourself first, we will soon let you Order has been restored on board." After she finished speaking, she trotted a few steps to catch up with Abner.

The lady glanced at Xio's back gratefully, and then suddenly asked, "My name is Cherie! Miss, may I know your name?"

Xio didn't look back this time, but simply replied: "Hugh!"

"Hugh..." The lady secretly memorized the name, then picked up the dagger on the ground again, turned around and hid in a nearby cabin. No matter how cruel she is to those murderers, she still knows that she has no ability to deal with them, so she can only protect herself first, and not waste the life given to her by her benefactor and lover.

Gaston, who was walking in the front left, smiled and said to Xio: "It's really meaningless for you to do this. When this scene is over, she will no longer exist."

Xio shook his head, and said with some stubbornness: "She lives strong because of my words, even if it is only a few minutes or a few hours, it is meaningful to me!"

"It's up to you! What a little girl." Gaston shook his head and smiled. In fact, he didn't have bad intentions, he just felt that this kind of innocence was not suitable for the world of extraordinary people.

Xio pursed his lips, looked at Abner in front of him, and after struggling for a moment, he still asked, "Abner, what do you think?"

Abner thought for a while before seriously saying: "Everyone has their own persistence. If you think it should, just do it! Don't care about other people's opinions." This kind of persistence is the brilliance of human nature.

After listening to these words, the corners of Xio's mouth finally turned up slightly, obviously happy because he was understood.

Most of the thugs on this ship were besieging the lowest cabin, so the further down the three of Abner went, the more enemies there would be.

Fortunately, Mr. Gaston seemed to have anticipated this kind of situation long ago, prepared a lot of explosives with a range of damage, coupled with the master-level combat qualities of Abner and Hugh, and the opponents were only a group of ordinary people, this was the only way to succeed. Surprisingly, he reached the lowest cabin.

This cabin was originally used to store food and fresh water on board, and relying on these supplies, the people who stayed inside were able to survive until now.

Seeing the three of Abner storming in from the outside, the men who were guarding the door of the cabin on the ground floor were all pleasantly surprised. They were happy because they were waiting for help, but they were surprised because the fighting power of these three men was beyond their abilities. It is expected that if there is malicious intent, they will definitely not be able to deal with it.

"Stop...you...who are you?" Seeing the three getting closer, a blond young man in a black formal suit asked at the door of the cabin, raising his dagger.

Abner stopped and did not answer the other party's question, but asked directly: "Who is in charge here?"

The people on the opposite side looked at each other,

None of them answered.

Xio frowned. She let out the majesty of an 'arbitrator', and repeated Abner's words in a low voice: "Who is in charge here?"

This time, those few people didn't hesitate any longer, but pointed to a middle-aged man dressed as a captain and a boy with a round, kind face to the rear with trepidation.

"We all listen to the captain and Tris!"

"Tris?" Abner looked at the shy boy in the corner who looked like a little girl.

"It's me, sir. What's the matter with you?" Triss seemed a little frightened and looked very disturbed, but his eyes were flicking around. Obviously, the sudden change made him think of retreating.

"It was you who instigated the crew and passengers to fight among themselves and let them kill each other! Am I right, Mr. Triss, the 'instigator' of the Gnosis Society?" Abner directly pointed out the source of this internal conflict, and then Before everyone could react, he pulled out the revolver and fired six consecutive shots at Tris.

Because the scene was about to end, Abner was afraid that he would not have a second chance to shoot, so he had already opened his pure white eyes before shooting, and with the assistance of the weapon master ability of the 'Keeper of the Wisdom' experienced in advance in this state , then these six bullets almost blocked all the dodging directions of Tris.

Although such an attack is meaningless, it will not affect Tris in reality at all. But as Abner said before, with some persistence, you can do what you want. Having witnessed the misfortune of the people on this ship with his own eyes, it is impossible for him not to kill the culprit here.

But Tris was an 'assassin' before becoming an 'instigator'. This sequence is the most proficient in dodging and hiding. Before he was shot, he had already figured out a countermeasure, and his body would melt into the shadow of the cabin as soon as he retreated.

At this moment, the revolver in Xio's hand roared, and the position it hit was the shadow behind Tris!

As early as when Abner pointed out that Triss was the 'instigator' of the Gnosis Society, Xio had already guessed what her friend would do next, because that was also what she wanted to do: as far as she could, Avenge the innocent victims on this ship!

Even though it was just a fictional scene, she felt aggrieved and decided to do it.

Xio had contacted another instigator before, and knew the ability of this sequence long ago. Therefore, the last way of life for Tris in this scene was blocked, and his head was instantly pierced by a bullet, shattering the ground...

At the same time, the surrounding scenes shattered, and everything ceased to exist, leaving only three figures wrapped in the mist of the dream and entering the reward room.

...

In the real world, at the corner of a deck and the cabin on the Clover, facing two murderers who had already torn most of her clothes, Cherie cried in despair.

But at this moment, the movements of the murderers suddenly stopped, and their expressions seemed to be a little dazed. At this moment, Qie Li didn't know where the courage came from, so she picked up the dagger that fell from the ground, and quickly took it from between the necks of the two men. across!

The two corpses fell to the ground one after another. She, who was splashed with blood, was stunned for a while, and stumbled to the side of her lover who was nailed to the wall. She wept and stroked his cheek, and then said to herself: "My dear!" Yes, I originally thought that I would not be able to live without you...But at that moment just now, I suddenly had courage and strength in my heart...Maybe this is the blessing you gave me in the kingdom of gods!"

Having said that, she wiped away her tears and said firmly:

"I'll live! I'll live no matter what! Take your share with me!"

...

At the bottom of the cabin, Tris, who was hiding in the corner, woke up suddenly. He first looked around vigilantly, then wiped his cold sweat, and thought suspiciously: "I seem to have a nightmare, but I can't remember the content of the dream. , I only know that I was killed... Maybe this is a warning of spirituality in occultism?"

Thinking of this, Tris was shocked, thinking that something unexpected would happen, and thought to himself: "Anyway, this internal strife is almost over, let's end it early, so as not to really change... Although the number of deaths is still less than expected ..."

At this time, the captain beside him saw his unnatural expression, and asked with concern: "Mr. Triss, what's wrong with you?"

Triss immediately showed a shy smile upon hearing this...

...

What Abner and Hugh did was not for nothing!
