Mystery: Start with the Reader

As night fell, Leonard Mitchell, who lived at No. 7 Pinster Street, once again entered the sleeping Backlund shrouded in fog.

In the past few days, he had once again asked Mrs. Starling, Mrs. Mary, and reporter Mike Joseph of the "Daily Observer" about the great detective Sherlock Moriarty in his dream...

But because someone gave Melissa an extraordinary item in Sherlock's name, he asked in more detail this time and pieced together the image of Detective Sherlock more completely.

"This is an extraordinary person who is relatively friendly to the authorities, but he has appeared in several incidents related to The Fool and Tarot cards... He is suspected to be closely related to the organization that believes in The Fool!"

After walking out of Dr. Allen's house, Leonard was thinking and looked back at the villa behind him. In the house with a garden, misty light balls representing dreams were intertwined, filling the entire space. any problem.

Is it my imagination? Something feels wrong... Leonard whispered, turned and flew to another street in the Jowood District, where Sheriff Fassin's home was.

Because Sherlock Moriarty didn't have many friends in Backlund, and besides Hazel, Emlyn and Detective Essinger, he had already investigated them all, so Leonard changed his target and planned to start from Start investigating with other people Sherlock has come into contact with.

"According to internal information, less than a week after arriving in Backlund, Sherlock was involved in a multinational espionage case, and gang members bribed by Ambassador Intis came to kill him... and the one who interrogated him at the time was MI9 Former Lieutenant, now Colonel Hugh Dilcha...

"This is another case that cannot be investigated casually. Not only does a princess serve as the backstage, but she is also closely related to the old monster from the Fourth Age, Rhine, that the old man calls...

“Furthermore, according to the information, Colonel Dilcha himself is already a Sequence 5 ‘Punishing Knight’, and his reputation of ‘invisible fear’ is widely spread even within Red Gloves.

"So, we can only take a step back and obtain the interrogation situation from Chief Fassin who handled the case." Leonard thought as he was about to ring the doorbell that symbolized Chief Fassin's dream.

But at this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten what he had just thought, and also forgot about ringing the doorbell. He actually passed by the house that symbolized Fassin, and wandered through Backlund's "dream world" again as if he had lost his mind. ".

At the same time, Pales, who was parasitic on Leonard's spirit body, looked at a crudely made puppet and cursed in his heart:

"This kid is really capable of causing trouble. He just came out of the home of a 'mercury snake', and he plans to enter the territory of a once evil god...

"Especially the one at the back, he's not as easy to talk to as the 'Snake of Mercury'... It seems like you're going to have to suffer a lot, kid."

After an unknown amount of time, Leonard finally seemed to have regained his thoughts, controlled his mind, and then suddenly fell into his dream!

Phew...he suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat.

"Old man, what just happened?" Leonard retracted his legs from the edge of the desk and asked with confusion and fear.

what happened? It's just that my "mind" was controlled and I did some stupid things in the dream... Don't worry, I have stolen this memory for you to avoid the embarrassment of remembering it.

Pales cursed a few times before responding in a slightly older voice:

"I am not sure."

Leonard's eyes immediately lowered his eyes and he didn't ask any more questions.

He immediately looked out the window and saw that Backlund was brightly lit and quiet at night.

That night, countless people in the Jowood District dreamed of a man whose face could not be seen clearly while shouting "I am a fool" while running happily under the crimson...

…

"Hugh, Abner, you don't know, I dreamed about a very strange but interesting man!"

On Saturday morning, Forsi, who rarely got up at seven o'clock, was eating breakfast while vividly describing what he saw and heard in his dream to his two friends, and considered using it as a plot line to write into his script.

For example, adding a "clown" to the story of "Shipwreck on the Ice Sea" and having him perform a similar run around the ship on the night of the shipwreck creates an absurd comedy in the desperate atmosphere.

After listening to Forsi's enthusiastic explanation of his ideas, Abner looked strange, as if he was considering whether to accept Miss Magician's suggestion and nail the future Mr. Star to the "Pillar of Shame".

Yes, Abner already knew about the "Joker" running incident in his dream last night.

Although he slept too much during the day, he was researching "mythical creature forms" all night long, but how could he not pay attention to the fact that his servants all had the same dream?

So I saw that image in the butler's dream early in the morning, and relied on his "information extraction" ability to determine that the person was Leonard Mitchell.

Through the "backtracking" results at the information level, it seems that Leonard became like that after going to Sheriff Fassin's dream?

It seems that the original "Bound God" and now the "spiritual angel" played a trick on him...

Thinking of the spiritual angel, Abner decided to visit her later and listen to her opinion on Adam's layout.

It would be better if she would follow me to Sunya Island.

When Abner's thoughts were flying further and further away, Xio, who was sitting next to him, suddenly pulled his hand under the dining table.

Abner subconsciously turned his head, and then saw Xio's slightly guilty expression.

At this time, she no longer had the "overbearing" temperament she had more than a day ago, as if she would punish her whenever she saw something wrong. This shows that her "mental problems" have been effectively controlled.

Abner knew that Xio was uneasy about "hurting" herself, so he patted her hand gently to show that he didn't care.

If he hadn't voluntarily used this to help Xio complete the performance and heal her spirit, how could Xio have made him unable to get out of bed for a long time?

On the other side of the table, after Forsi finished talking about his idea, he couldn't help but ask his friends: "What do you think of my idea?"

Seeing this, Abner let go of Xio's hand. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I think it's good. Just write it according to your ideas."

I believe Mr. "Fool" will also like this section.

At the same time, "The Fool" Klein encountered "frustration" from Sharon.

"The teacher said that in addition to 'reappearing yesterday', 5,000 gold coins are needed, which can be divided into installments." Sharon relayed the other party's reply through the contact information between her and Miss Messenger.

As for why Klein didn't personally summon Him to communicate?

Naturally to save gold coins...

Since the battle outside Bayam, the messenger lady has increased her charges.

I have a stomachache, so let’s write this much first... I was pleasantly surprised to find that the goal was achieved, and I will update it on the weekend.
