Mystery: Paradox Path

"Squeak..."

The wooden door was slowly opened, and the red-haired girl looked at the man who appeared in front of her. After a slight stun, she suddenly did not raise her voice, and said in a subtle tone:

"A big man, how come knocking on the door is like a bitch?"

"Shit!"

Danitz's face darkened immediately, and he planned to ridicule back, but suddenly heard Gehrman Sparrow's voice behind him——

"Don't stand in the door."

"...!" Danitz's wicked fire was suffocating in his throat, but he was caught in the deterrence of the crazy adventurer. He could only glared at the woman in front of him, and then moved out of the way.

However, although he looked like a reckless person, his heart turned quite fast. Seeing Gehrman stepping forward, his aggrieved mood instantly improved, and he turned to look at the woman like this, as if he was planning to Wait for her to fight the crazy adventurer.

"Hey, hurry up! Hurry up! Then you'll know how powerful that lunatic is!"

Danitz fantasized about Gehrman being scolded by a woman and the woman being beaten by Gehrman, but the next moment, something that made him stunned happened——

The woman who seemed to have taken gunpowder just now respectfully gave way!

"Shit! Bully me, right?"

Danitz looked at the woman in disbelief. Does she know Gehrman? Otherwise, how would you know that this guy who looks elegant is not easy to mess with?

"Follow!"

"Oh!" Danitz shuddered violently, then immediately followed the room, and then saw the damn guy who made him have nightmares for days!

...

On the other side, in the ancestral house of Pandre Dax, Audrey was sitting in front of the viewing platform, quietly watching the "Beware of the Audience" in her hand under the caress of the sun. The maid was right, this book is indeed a book. An entertainment book, to be precise, is a mystery novel involving extraordinary power, telling the story of a detective of the fortune-teller pathway and the extraordinary criminals of various pathways.

Although there is a considerable conflict between extraordinary power and reasoning itself, this book handles it very cleverly. Although extraordinary powers can achieve all kinds of unbelievable killing methods, they can also bring quite violent detection methods, divination, Anti-divination, rituals, channeling, scene retrospect... Although there was no direct battle, the battle between psychology and extraordinary abilities made Audrey mesmerize.

At the same time, Audrey also realized that although this is an entertainment mystery novel, the various extraordinary knowledge contained in it is obviously true, including various simple divination methods, how to use the things that can be found at hand Clean up the traces of the mysterious layer,

The application and taboo of various basic ritual magic, which largely made up for Audrey's lack of foundation in the extraordinary field.

However, after reading the second case, she noticed that although the title of the book was "Beware of the Audience", the two perpetrators were "Warrior" and "Assassin" respectively, neither the protagonist nor the supporting role. A little shadow of the audience.

"No, no, since it's called being careful with the audience, there must be an audience, but I just didn't find it!" Audrey's curiosity was aroused by this mysterious novel, and she was not in a hurry to read the next one. Instead, she started reading the first case from scratch, and then, through the audience's ability to observe, she really noticed a sense of incongruity.

"Although it seems to be the passionate murder of Beyonders of the warrior pathway, it is indeed a bit strange. Could it be that these cases are all carried out under the influence of an 'audience'? The audience is the mastermind behind the scenes? But in this way, the audience should It's a character that appeared from the very beginning, otherwise it will feel abruptly like an 'airborne murderer', and the author who can write such a novel should not make such a mistake!"

Audrey analyzed the structure of this mystery novel from the perspective of a mystery novel lover, but found that every character that appeared so far "should not" be the audience, but from the incongruity she found. At first, it seemed that all the characters were like the audience, and even after reading the third case, she even became the suspect of the detective who had been confirmed to be the fortune teller, and even which dog the detective kept.

On the contrary, those criminals who have already determined their path have become cute in Audrey's eyes. At least, they are not the audience.

Before she knew it, the book in her hand had already been turned halfway through, but Audrey felt chills all over her body. The original reasoning story seemed to have turned into a thriller story. The ubiquitous sight and the ubiquitous arrangement made her feel It was as if she was being arranged by something. The feeling of powerlessness that she could drown herself in the water, but didn't even have a straw she could hold, made Audrey begin to understand why this book was called "Beware of the audience".

"Is this the sense of oppression possessed by the Beyonders of the audience pathway?" Audrey wanted to turn to the end immediately to see who the murderer was, but as a mystery novel lover, her conduct allowed her to restrain this kind of behavior. idea.

She turned over the previous pages again, and suddenly found a new clue——

"Although each volume does not have a volume name, I have read five cases now, and I have read almost half of the book, so there should be a total of nine cases in this book, which may correspond to the audience's Sequence Nine to Sequence One. The first case corresponds to the audience, the second case corresponds to the mind reader, and the third case corresponds to the psychiatrist..."

Audrey thought so, and found that she could barely match the number, but she was embarrassed to find that she did not know the name of the audience pathway high sequence.

"Audrey, it's almost time, we should go back!" Just when Audrey's violent cracking failed and she was going to continue watching, Susie's voice suddenly came from the door. Only then did Audrey realize that the sky was actually dark It had begun to get dark, but the room was so softly lighted that she didn't notice the change in the light.

"Got it, Susie." Audrey put the book in her hand on the small round table, and was about to get up when she heard a soft click from the door handle, and then saw Susie running in by the door. .

"Oh, my God! Susie, your hair?" Audrey saw Susie's appearance, her expression immediately became weird, but Susie turned around Audrey like a girl in new clothes. circle:

"Let me tell you, the pet bathroom here is very comfortable, there are little people who can blow their hair, and there is a book-turning table specially prepared for pets... Well, it's a bit small, more like a cat... …”

"But you're like this..." Audrey looked at the fluffy and soft Susie and began to talk about what she had seen and heard, and instantly understood what the "change in style" in the novel meant.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Maria said, as long as you run in the wind, you can return to the original state." Susie shook the hair on her body carelessly. Audrey had nothing to say. She looked back. The bookmarked book "Be Careful of the Audience" still didn't ask if he could borrow it.

"This is no longer a question of whether to borrow or not. There is too much Beyonder knowledge in this book, as well as a lot of special ritual magic. Audrey, don't be greedy, you must write a letter to ask Mr. Devil's opinion..."
