Mystery: Start with the Reader

At night, Xio recalled the 'funny' expression on his face at that time, and couldn't help but put the quilt on his head, feeling that this time it was a big embarrassment.

"It's so embarrassing..." It's okay to 'change face' in front of strangers, but when her friend Abner sees it, she feels too shy to lift her head. Now she is only silently rejoicing: "Fortunately, Forsi is not here. If she reads it and writes it into the novel, I... I will have to threaten everyone who bought the book to burn the novel!"

At the same time, in another dormitory of the school, Abner was holding a ceremony.

"I pray for the power of knowledge;

"I pray for the power of reason;

"I pray for the gift of the God of knowledge and wisdom;

"Pray that you will endow the items on the altar with the ability to hide faces..."

As streams of inexplicable words appeared and quickly disappeared, after praising the generosity of the gods, Abner picked up the sailor hat in the center of the altar, opened his pure white eyes to look at it, and then nodded in satisfaction, feeling Said: "The magic potion is further digested, and the effect of my ceremony is better. This hat is effective for at least 10 days. Well, give it to Xio tomorrow, so that she can use the ring of prejudgment in the future. Put it on, lest she is unwilling to use the ability of 'clown' because she is afraid of 'community death', which may bring life danger."

Just when Abner packed up all the materials and was about to go to bed, he suddenly heard a roar coming from the street north of the town! Since the town is not big, the sound almost spread from the north to the school in the south of the town.

Now, he didn't dare to sleep anymore, he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the dormitory, just in time to see Xio coming out of the next room. The two looked at each other, did not speak tacitly, and ran towards the school warehouse in silence one after the other.

At this moment, Mr. Gaston is still in the Dream Labyrinth Tower, ignorant of what is happening outside.

In front of the gate between dreams and reality, Abner entered the maze tower with a spell, and urgently woke up Mr. Gaston who was still obsessed in the maze scene.

But by this time, the commotion on the street had grown louder and louder, and it seemed that the entire town had been alarmed.

Mr. Gaston took out a delicate mirror with a serious face, and after feeling it for a while, he said to Abner: "It was the monsters in the forest in the north of the island that broke through the seal left by the Church of Storms."

"Monsters? Why are there monsters on this island?" Abner asked in surprise.

"This place is called Damir, and the reason for this name is because in the Fourth Epoch it was the territory of a devil named Damir Andrerad! I only found out when I was looking for the gate of dreams everywhere. Relevant information." After Mr. Gaston explained, he took the two of them and walked quickly to his storage room, where there were some powerful Extraordinary items in his collection.

"Andrérald? Demon family?" Abner followed behind Mr. Gaston, feeling a little headache, as if he had been involved in some serious incident again.

"The devil was finally killed by the saint of the Church of Storms in Sunya Sea, and the monsters and other things on Damir Island were also completely cleaned up. It's a pity that the northern forest of this island was killed by the demigod-level devil The breath of the earth has polluted a little, and it can only be healed by time... In the following time, some monsters will always be born on the polluted land, but they are not very strong, and instead attract many adventurers to hunt for materials. This is also One of the reasons why there is a colonial town on this island," said Mr. Gaston as he walked, already outside the storage room door.

"So the famous cured meat in Damir Port is also because of this that can temporarily improve the spirituality of some people?" Abner remembered that the little girl named Donna in the original novel saw Ge because of eating the special food of this place. Hermann's messenger.

"A few days ago, I heard that there were fear insects appearing in the forest to the north." At this time, Xio who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

She had been inquiring about the main material of the 'Magistrate' for the past few days, but she did not expect to gain something. The eyes of the fear bug are one of the main materials!

"It seems that there was an omen a few days ago... I was so obsessed with the Tower of Dreams that I didn't pay attention... The Church of Storms only cleaned up the northern forest two years ago. It is impossible to spawn powerful monsters so quickly! And , There is a blockade outside the forest in the north, which is useless to humans and normal animals, but it is unlikely that monsters can come out... something must have happened!" Mr. Gaston sighed from the storage room at the same time. He took out two Extraordinary items and brought them with him, and distributed 30 demon hunting bullets to each of Abner and Hugh.

"Since this island is so special...why are there no Punishers stationed?" Not counting the underground dream gate, this small island is also a high-occurrence area for extraordinary events. Mr. Gaston said before that the island was too small to be stationed, and Abner reluctantly accepted it at that time, but now knowing that it is so special, it is intriguing that the Church of Storms has no Beyonders stationed there.

"You have so many questions, you are indeed a detective!" Mr. Gaston glanced at him, but he still explained tirelessly, "The reasons are very complicated...First, as I said, this town is too small, and In the colony, there is no strict supervision on Extraordinary events, so there is no need to station Extraordinary teams; second, because it is under the jurisdiction of the Loen military, they are very resistant to the presence of Extraordinary from the Church of Storms; third, maybe the demigod devil fell in The hand of the Church of the Storm, so as long as the Punisher is on the island for a long time, the spawning speed of monsters in the northern forest will be accelerated!"

"So that's how it is..." Abner nodded, but he always felt that there was another mystery in this matter. Suddenly, the figure of the lady who bought the main material of "Psychiatrist" at the extraordinary party flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help thinking:

"A suspected member of the 'Psychological Alchemy Association' came to Damir. Does it have anything to do with the monster breaking through the ban?"

At this moment, fierce gunshots reached the ears of the three. Immediately afterwards, the navy's naval guns also roared.

Gaston's complexion changed, and he said urgently: "The colonial garrison has already opened fire, which means that the brigade of monsters has reached the edge of the town! Let's rush over and wait for the opportunity to help!"

Both Abner and Xio understood the truth that there are no eggs left after a nest is overturned, and nodded solemnly.

...

The capital of Rorsted Islands, the City of Generosity, the Church of the Waves.

The Wave Church is the largest church in this sea area, with a classical style, extensive use of stone pillars and arches, and a towering dome and two bell towers.

In the early days of colonization, those pioneers often did not have time to build churches, and this had dire consequences for them. Surrounded by tribes, jungles, and ancient buildings, even if they have conquered the local area, they often die mysteriously, die for no reason, and die in large numbers.

This situation, which caused great panic, gradually diminished and became an occasional occurrence after the churches of the major churches were built.

At this time, a priest came rushing from outside, and stepped into the large prayer hall under the warm candlelight that illuminated the human activity area one by one.

He clenched his right fist, hit his left chest, and said respectfully to his bishop, "The storm is with you!"

"The storm be with you!" the bishop responded with the same gesture.

Only then did the pastor take out a telegram from his pocket and pass it to the Bishop of the Waves Church, and reported: "Damir has sent a telegram for help. The monster broke through the blockade and is attacking the port town."

"Damiel..." the bishop asked after pondering for a moment, "Are there any missions for the Punisher teams near Damir?"

"Yes, they are all searching and intercepting a 'listener' of the Aurora Society in their respective responsible sea areas." The pastor replied.

"A listener needs so many people to intercept?" The bishop seemed to be hearing the news for the first time, and asked a little strangely.

"This is an order directly issued by the Council of Cardinals. Although it is not compulsory, the contribution is very high. Almost all the teams that had no mission before participated in the hunt." The pastor obviously knows this matter better.

The bishop nodded, and then said solemnly: "I issue an order in my name to send all the Punisher teams near Damir to destroy the monsters! Our believers are more important than the cultists!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The pastor asked hesitantly after he gave the order, "But what about the Aurora Society? I heard that the listener also abducted a little boy named Jack from Enmat Harbor."

"Hmm...do we have any strength nearby that we can mobilize?" the bishop asked after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, Alger is currently on vacation!" The pastor seemed to have done his homework, and immediately replied.

"Alger? The one who was lucky enough to get a ghost ship?" The bishop asked uncertainly after recalling it.

"That's right, he got the ghost ship 'Youlan Avenger' from the Fourth Epoch not long ago." The pastor seemed to be familiar with Alger, and introduced in detail.

"Then give him an order to hunt down the listeners of the Aurora Order!" the bishop made a final decision.
