Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 37: Third-rate Writer
Lewis suddenly realized, is there any difference between what Ince Zangwill had taken away and what the goddess had taken away? If it weren't for the tacit consent of the Goddess of Night, how could Ince Zangwill, with his status, take the Sealed Artifact 0-08 from the Holy Temple?

In other words, everything Ince Zangwill did was tacitly approved by the goddess. When the other party snatched the Antigonus family notes, it was equivalent to the goddess of night taking something from him.

Thinking of this, Lewis once again felt that perhaps he should change his beliefs, perhaps he should praise the sun!
However, what frightened Lewis the most was this sentence: All gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

If what was written on Sealed Artifact 0-08 was reality, then what would be his price? He also thought that the lucky charm obtained through prayer did not require a price to be paid, or that the price was the prayer ceremony.

The hand turned the page of the letter again, and the new story continued.

"Oh my god! Why is that poor fellow so active? What does he want to do? Send a letter to the first Earl of Durham? The poor fellow knows too much. Is he going to look for Ince Zangwill and Sealed Artifact 0-08 next?"

"We can't let him succeed!"

"Poor Lewis blew the whistle to summon the messenger. But as a proud messenger, who would be willing to help a weakling of Sequence Eight deliver a letter? So the messengers started arguing, which delayed the arrival of the messenger by half a minute."

"Because of the influence of the Antigonus family's notes, this half minute seemed particularly long to Lewis. He couldn't wait and decided to go out to deliver the letter. However, after the postman picked up the letter, his leg was broken by a carriage and the letter was lost."

"Lewis sent the wrong letter, which caused the poor fellow to be unable to move for a short period of time, while Ince Zangwill was able to calmly leave the room he had lived in and erase all traces of the supernatural that had existed, making the unlucky guy's divination a joke. This makes sense."

"The story continues. The great Ince Zangwill manipulates the events in Tingen. The fraudster..."

"To kill Triss? To make my story unable to proceed due to the lack of a key character? What does this unfortunate guy want to do?"

"How is this possible? He's only a Sequence Eight. Does he want to die? Wait, this poor fellow's moves are so unexpected every time. Triss must not have any problems."

"Let me think about how to make this story plausible."

"Witch Sera discovered Triss's abnormality. As a member of the witch sect, she can't just leave Triss alone. Besides, Triss has a secret..."

The story came to an abrupt end here, and the following pages seemed to be hidden by something, and the hand never turned any further.

Lewis's spirituality was slightly touched, and he seemed to see a strange power covering the entire dream. The strange power turned into a big hand, holding him tightly in it.

Whether he followed his memory to find this place, or performed divination on a whim, it all seemed to be expected by Sealed Object 0-08. Although Sealed Object 0-08 would sometimes be surprised by his actions, the other party could always make the script round around.

Lewis smiled and laughed at the ceiling, "What a stupid script. Only a third-rate writer could write such a tasteless story and always emphasize that this is reasonable."

As Lewis's voice fell, the dream shattered, and he seemed to feel a twisted malice.

……

In a basement with only a gas lamp and a single bed, a man was holding a feather pen and writing a familiar story. The words written by the pen seemed to have magic, and everything he wrote became a reality in Tingen City.

Suddenly, the feather pen in the man's hand became irritable. It broke free from its restraints, jumped three feet high, and wrote the sentence freely on the paper:
"The poor fellow actually dared to call me a third-rate writer. Who gave him the courage? Lewis and Ince Zangwill would be hit by a carriage when they go out, and their skulls would be pecked open by flying eagles. The eagles would put feces in their skulls as the price for insulting a top-notch writer. This is reasonable."

"No!" The man in the room watched the feather pen write quickly on the page. He quickly grabbed the feather pen and added: This will not happen. There are too many unreasonable things in the incident just now. It is just the imagination of a third-rate writer. As Ince Zangwill wrote, he seemed to feel the deep malice of the seal...

……

The pure white in front of Lewis’ eyes shattered, he opened his eyes, and saw Mr. Azik in front of him.

"Are there any results from the divination?" Mr. Azik asked without emotion.

"Sorry, I don't think we will find any valuable information. The mastermind behind this has erased everything." Lewis shook his head. From the beginning, Ince Zangwill noticed his actions. With his 0-08 status, if the other party wrote him into the story, he would not have any chance of winning from the beginning.

"It doesn't matter. I will eventually find the mastermind and get my child's skull back." Mr. Azik didn't pay too much attention to this matter. He said to himself: "Next, I will go find my child's skull, and I will also quit my job to find my memory. If you need to find me, please write to me."

“I will.” Lewis bowed slightly and said sincerely, “I hope you can recover all your memories soon.”

Lewis said goodbye to Mr. Azik. He understood that as long as he was in the 0-08 script, it would be difficult to find a chance to turn the tables.

Fortunately, he only played a marginal role in the script. As long as he did not actively touch the 0-08 script, Ince Zangwill would not pay any attention to him.

The crimson moon hung high in the sky, with some of the stars shrouding the moon, setting off its enchanting crimson color.

Lewis walked back to the detective agency, made a cup of black tea and drank it slowly.

Suddenly, Lewis was inspired. The invisible man had been in the detective agency before he came in, waiting for him.

As a transcendent in the Path of Destiny, he failed to notice the person in the room at the first time, which shows that the other party's ability is superior to his and he is very good at hiding.

Lewis stood up suddenly, looked at the corner with a pillar on the right side of the room, and pulled out his gun abruptly. Although there were only ordinary bullets in the gun now, it was difficult to cause fatal injuries to a transcendent.

"Mr. Lewis, it's me..."

Suddenly, Lewis felt that his right hand holding the gun lost control and the pistol fell to the ground.

Then, with the help of the light from the gas lamp, Lewis could see the almost transparent, faintly visible silk thread on his wrist.

That is the ability of the Sequence Six Pleasure Witch. These strange threads can control a person.
