Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 249: Master of Secret Dolls
Lewis didn't think that any high-sequence strongman would try to get involved in this kind of thing. He became more cautious and walked towards the back of the manor.

As the distance got closer, Lewis heard a silent breathing and a slight sound of footsteps, and following the sound, he saw two people in cloaks in an inconspicuous corner.

One of them walked in front to explore the way, as if trying to enter the manor, while the other one hid behind a tree, looking like an old coward who was afraid of death.

"As a transcendent in the Path of Destiny, if I am well prepared, it is almost impossible for me to be attacked by surprise, which provides me with the opportunity to attack first."

"This operation will go smoothly..." Lewis took out his pocket watch as a pendant and performed a simple divination. Seeing that it was turning slowly clockwise, he suddenly felt relieved.

The next moment, Lewis brought misfortune to the old villain hiding behind the tree. After all, the ability of Sequence Five was limited, and it was impossible to bring misfortune to multiple people.

The trees around the manor cast terrifying shadows in the moonlight. The man who was bestowed with bad luck suddenly looked up at the sky. He raised his hand and looked at the owl that was trying to dive.

"Gu..."

The owl only managed to utter half of its cry before its body seemed to be controlled by some force and it crashed straight into the tree trunk and fell to the ground, motionless.

Lewis was shocked by the scene before him. The people who came to make trouble should not be two extraordinary people, but just one person, but this person could control puppets.

"Master of the Secret Doll, Sequence 5 of the Fortune Teller Path. This kind of extraordinary person is very troublesome. If I fight head-on, I will most likely die."

Lewis decisively chose not to show up. Supernatural beings like the Puppet Master are very disgusting. They can control a person's spiritual threads and gradually turn a person into a puppet.

Without outside interference, the process of becoming a puppet is difficult to interrupt.

Lewis was still frightened and stayed away from the scene. Even if the divination result said that things would go well, he did not dare to act rashly. If the interpretation was wrong, he might still face death.

Looking up, Lewis saw dark clouds gathering in the sky, and bolts of lightning fell on the spot where the 'Master of Secret Dolls' was hiding.

How powerful a "winner" is depends on how much bad luck and luck he has accumulated in his daily life.

Thinking of this, Lewis tapped his chest four times, outlining the crimson moon, and then silently said, "Storm above, I am your devout believer."

He didn't look back at the situation. After all, it was not a wise choice to sacrifice himself in order to find the truth.

The weather was not very good that night, and there seemed to be screams mixed in with the lightning and thunder.

Lewis hardly slept all night and saw off the nobles who attended the party early the next morning.

"Mr. Lewis, see you at the golf course." Grellint greeted Lewis and left the manor in a carriage.

Lewis heaved a sigh of relief until almost all the nobles in the manor had left. Last night was not very peaceful. Fortunately, he escaped when he met the Master of the Doll, otherwise he might have become a doll last night.

Ikanser found Lewis holding the magic mirror Adros. His upper body skin was black, and even his hair was burnt black. He walked over and whispered:
"Mr. Lewis, last night a superhuman tried to sneak into the manor. He was accidentally struck by lightning and was seriously injured."

"Has the person been caught?" Lewis asked without emotion.

"He moved very fast and we could not catch up with him. I tried to use Adros to inquire about the purpose of the extraordinary person and learned that he had some connection with Baron Zachli." Ikanser said calmly. The charred black on his body was a punishment for not being able to answer Adros' questions.

Lewis frowned, looked at the magic mirror in front of him, and asked Adros:
"What is Baron Zachley's purpose?"

The mirror shook, and white characters gradually emerged:

"He can use the extraordinary people to disrupt the banquet. It would be great if he could successfully kill one or two nobles. He can immediately call the police and put all the blame on Lewis Harvey, making him spend some time in prison.

No one would believe a murderer. Even if AC is very useful, it would certainly be blocked by the nobles. At that time, Baron Zachley would buy the patent of AC from Lewis Harvey at a very low price. Even if he could not kill any nobles, Baron Zachley could make a hybrid wheel and put the blame on Lewis Harvey to destroy his reputation. Then he would appear as a good guy and persuade Lewis Harvey to join their group and share the benefits brought by AC.

How despicable... Lewis sighed silently.

Then, the problem appeared on the mirror:

“Is Ikanser a human being?”

Lewis glanced at the charred Ikanser and nodded, “Yes.”

“The answer is correct.”

Ikanser looked at Adros in confusion. This was the second time that the question Adros asked Lewis was very simple, so simple that it didn't even seem like a question.

"Why are the questions you ask me always so difficult?" Ikanser muttered in confusion, expressing his dissatisfaction with the magic mirror Adros.

The next moment, a row of white characters appeared on the mirror again:

"Because it's fun to see you in trouble. Hahahaha..."

The font appeared for a few seconds before being erased, and the mirror surface showed another font:
“Now it’s my turn to ask questions.

My question is: Have you ever eaten shit?"

I didn't mean to ask you any questions, you despicable magic mirror, you actually answered the questions without permission... Ikanser looked at Lewis in confusion, then turned around to look at the two teammates beside him, only to see the two teammates showing playful eyes.

Ikanser's dark face actually turned red. He seemed to have been thinking for half a century. He mustered up the courage to say, "No!"

"wrong answer!"

The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck Ikanser, who fell to the ground with black mist coming out of his mouth.

Behind him, one of Ikanser's teammates took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and poured it into Ikanser's mouth while laughing convulsively from time to time.

"Tsk, wouldn't it have been better if you admitted that you had eaten it earlier? You were still exposed after being punished." Lewis got on the carriage helplessly. The manor would be cleaned up by the butler and servants later.

As a rich man, he only needs to learn how to enjoy himself. Of course, enjoying life is also a learning, just like nouveau riche are always despised by the nobles.

The carriage was driving on the bluestone brick floor, and Lewis was thinking about how to deal with the next thing.

“The Master of Secret Dolls is still alive. It is possible that he will find out that I have been poisoned and come to kill me. I should try to get rid of him.

Killing someone in the manor might attract official attention, but it wouldn't happen elsewhere, and no one would know that the Master of the Dolls had been to the manor."

Some people still think this book is good. As a new author, I think this is good enough.

Don’t be pessimistic, I can still write the ending I want with more than 100,000 words.

Besides, more than 60 words is a reasonable number of words. Many authors’ first books rarely have more than one million words.
