Start with the Readers Chapter 208: Strange Hotel
Of course, the impulse is the impulse, but Abner didn't really run away.
After all, although he once again had "crazy thoughts" similar to "prophecy", he didn't feel too strong a warning sign.
This shows that even though there was something wrong with the storm last week, the matter should have ended long ago. There is a high probability that there is no danger beyond his ability in the small town of Kangwa at this moment.
And this is also consistent with the result of his previous divination using the "Solomon Gold Coin".
Seeing that Abner's attention seems to be focused on the two ladies behind him, the public school teacher Blake was a little puzzled at first, and then thought of the rumors in a tabloid, so he showed a clear smile and said:
"Abner, Susan, Roman, let me introduce you, these two beautiful ladies are Miss Emma and Miss Fanny, they accepted the invitation of Yatru and temporarily joined our Camping."
Yatru was one of the three male students present. Abner didn't know him very well. He only knew that his family seemed to be in the jewelry business.
Next, Black introduced the three of Abner to Emma and Fanny. The two ladies didn't pay much attention at first, but nodded reservedly to maintain basic politeness.
But when she heard that Abner was the famous "hero detective" recently, the eyes of the long black-haired Miss Emma lit up, showing a look of interest.
There are many legendary stories about Detective Brian, and each story seems to involve the extraordinary... As a "cryptographer", it is only natural for Emma to be interested in his experience.
However, just when Emma was about to start a conversation, Fanny pulled her sleeves by her side. The lady with excellent figure shook her head invisibly to her, signaling not to make any troubles.
After all, this "heroic detective" is a top reasoning master who claims to be able to restore the whole picture of the incident through a little detail in the reports of major newspapers.
If you talk to him, if you accidentally reveal something, wouldn't it reveal their true purpose for coming to Kangwa Town?
Thanks to the extraordinary ability of Immediately "Deciphering Scholar", Emma instantly understood what her friend meant.
But what they don't know is that Abner has already known their details.
Needless to say that Ms. Fanny with a good figure, Abner had judged early on that she was the "craftsman's agent" lady who had been asking for the "Barbarian" potion formula at the teacher's party.
As for Emma, when he didn't know her name before, Abner only thought that she was a wild "cryptographer", and at most joined the "Fate Hermit Society".
But after learning her name, Abner instantly connected her with the daughter of Viscount Horatio that Miss Hazel mentioned.
The names are the same after all. Both are students of Backlund University, both have a reputation for being "weird", and both have extraordinary backgrounds... With so many conditions combined, it is almost certain that they are the same person.
After greeting the three boys again, Mr. Black led everyone into the dining room of the "Old John" hotel, ready to have dinner.
Ebner originally thought that the conditions of the hotel in the rural town would be relatively simple, which can be seen from the very casual name of "Old John" and the exterior decoration of the hotel.
But I never thought that after entering the hotel, I suddenly had a refreshing feeling.
Because the house looks small on the outside, but it's not like that on the inside... Most of the rooms and facilities of the hotel are actually underground!
Moreover, the decoration of the underground part obviously has the architectural style of the Quaternary Era. It is not a rote and arty style, but a real ancient charm.
At least, even Abner, who already knew a lot about the Quaternary Era, didn't see anything wrong.
The only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is that it seems to have some architectural features of tombs here... For example, there are many "Hermesian" decorations carved on the wall of the dining room.
You must know that apart from being used in the field of mysticism, the Hermes script is most often used for sacrificial inscriptions in tombs.
Emma, who is a "deciphering scholar", obviously also saw this. She pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Arut, the boy next to her who nominally invited her to camp: "Do you know the name of this restaurant?" Was the decoration designed by any master? I think it's great."
Where would Yalut know this, he quickly apologized and ran to the front desk of the hotel, and came back after a while, saying in a standard reciting tone:
"This restaurant has a long history. It is rumored that it already existed in the Fourth Era. It was built by a priest who was good at cooking.
"Of course, the original building was destroyed in the war long ago, and the current hotel house was rebuilt more than a hundred years ago... The design manuscript of the pastor has been kept, so it was restored So perfect.
"As for why it is called 'Old John', it is because of the name of the person who rebuilt it."
Hearing this, Emma nodded thoughtfully.
On the other side, after Abner put a piece of chicken pie into his mouth, he became more and more confused about the layout of the hotel.
Because after entering the restaurant, he feels more and more that the interior decoration of this hotel is not designed for living people. Except that there are not many mystical runes, the overall layout of the hotel is like a tomb...
And the texture details of some of the decorations are somewhat similar to some rituals recorded in the Necronomicon...
Which god's priest is the priest who built the hotel in the Quaternary Era? Could it be the **** of death?
Why did he come to build a cemetery-like hotel near Backlund?
Could it be the dark hand of the God of Death buried in the Northern Continent during the Battle of the Four Emperors?
Conjectured wildly in his heart, but Abner had nothing to worry about. After all, if there was any conspiracy, it was more than a thousand years ago. This place is just a "fake" built according to the blueprint.
This is not his credulity, but a fact that has been verified with "pure white eyes".
…
After dinner, a group of young people gathered in the lobby of the hotel to communicate for a while, and then returned to the rooms that Mr. Black had arranged for them.

Emma looked at the gas lamps that brightly illuminated the entire suite, and joked to her friend who was arranging the equipment: "That Detective Brian's gaze has been on you just now."
When Fanny heard the words, she loaded the bullet into the revolver, and said back: "The 'hero detective' pays attention to you as well. After all, you are a 'thief', and I am a glamorous 'lawyer'."
Emma glanced at her friend and continued to tease: "I don't think you understand what I mean..."
However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw Fanny turned her gun around, so she had to forcefully change the subject: "When are we going to leave?"
"The ruins are not far from here, we will leave after midnight when everyone else is asleep... Well, try to come back before dawn." Fanny said after putting the revolver into the gun bag.
…
In the middle of the night, Abner suddenly opened his eyes when he heard slight footsteps in the corridor.
