Start with the Readers Chapter 40: Layer 9

Although I know this is a dream, the magnificence of this tower is beyond Abner's imagination! The height alone makes any human wonders difficult to hold a candle to. Even the skyscrapers of hundreds of meters in the previous life are small and inconspicuous in front of this tower.

"It's really high!" When he came close, Xiu, who was only 1.5 meters tall, tried to raise his neck, but he couldn't even see the bottom of the tower. He could only see the black clouds wrapped around the center of the tower... ...As for the top of the tower, it is just around the corner. After all, the tower is upside down.

However, even the relatively slender top of the tower must have a diameter of more than ten miles, and other entrances can be vaguely seen from afar, but the areas of each entrance are independent of each other, and there are mysterious forces blocking them.

"Each dream gate will reach the corresponding entrance, so we will not encounter supernatural beings who enter from other gates in the secret labyrinth. At least the first three floors." Mr. Gaston stood in front of the entrance Introduced.

So maybe there are still 'players' against the book in the next few layers? Abner felt more and more that this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' was created by Emperor Roselle.

After entering the entrance and confirming the state of the three-person team, Abner felt a blur before his eyes, and then appeared inside a house.

He looked around and found that it was a large suite with four bedrooms and one living room, with two bathrooms, a kitchen and a storage room. Don't ask him how he knew such details, because the room was hung on the wall. floor plan. However, the furniture in the house seemed a little old, with a strong Intis style.

At this time, a line of words written in Hermes seemed to float before his eyes: "Open the combination lock and leave the house through the gate."

At the same time, the fireplaces in every corner of the house were suddenly opened, and a faint flame flashed through them.

"This is probably a scene where you find some clues to some numbers in the house, and then deduce the password to unlock the door before you can go out. And these fireplaces should be the difficulty of team formation. As time goes by, the temperature will become higher and higher. The higher we go, the more dehydrated we will be." Mr. Gaston, who has cleared the ninth floor several times, quickly analyzed the key to the problem.

The secret realm drawn on this floor turned out to be a limited-time version of the 'escape room'... Abner also understood the current situation, he frowned, and asked, "Can you destroy the door directly?" Lock it out?" This is not difficult for Extraordinary people.

"If you are an expert in lockpicking, you may be able to...but using brute force is not possible, because the first three floors of this tower have a great suppression of extraordinary abilities, and the ninth floor has almost sealed all extraordinary abilities Of course, the same goes for Extraordinary items!" Mr. Gaston replied helplessly. If Extraordinary items were useful, why would he spend money to hire detectives? Even the detective he trusted.

Xio also frowned, since she was born as a half-arbitrator, she was not quite used to not having extraordinary abilities. However, she still came to the gate in a few steps. After carefully inspecting the door lock composed of countless gears and bearings, she shook her head at Abner and said, "It's a very complicated mechanical combination lock. If my arbitrator The strength is still there, maybe you can try to dismantle it violently, but not now." She already felt the weakness of her body, so she didn't make unnecessary attempts.

"Okay, now let's watch the detective's performance!" Mr. Gaston looked at Abner, as if he was waiting to evaluate whether his money was worth it.

Abner didn't answer, but opened his pure white eyes, looking directly at the door lock. After further digesting the 'reasoning student' potion, he has stronger control over the pure white eyes, at least he can forcefully specify the specific target of analysis, otherwise he would not dare to open his eyes in this extremely mysterious dream maze , who knows what will be parsed out.

About three seconds later, Abner completed the analysis. He closed his eyes and said to Hugh beside him, "Try these numbers." Then, he reported a series of 15-digit numbers number.

"It seems that the personality of the 'Pure White Eye' is higher than this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower'. The power of this tower can't seal it at all!"

While Abner was still thinking about his cheating problem, Mr. Gaston, who was waiting for him to investigate, was stunned, completely unaware of what happened just now.

And Xio had a deep feeling about Abner's 'sudden knowledge', so he didn't doubt it at all, and directly typed the password.

Then, with the sound of "click" and "click" of the mechanical lock, the door of the house slowly opened.

Mr. Gaston, who watched this scene, was stunned for a long time without saying a word, and after Abner began to urge him, he asked incredulously: "How did you do it?"

Abner straightened his glasses, thinking about what would happen if Mister Fool, or Sherlock, faced this secret room? He appointed an excuse to go to the bathroom, and then walked four steps backwards to the gray mist to divination the door lock code. Finally, when opening the door, say "this is reasoning".

Thinking about this scene, Abner couldn't help thinking of joking, looked at Mr. Gaston with a smile and said, "This is reasoning!"

"Inference?" Mr. Gaston felt that he suddenly didn't know the word.

But Xio couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, thinking: Abner started fooling people in a serious manner again.

After this little episode, the three of them went out of the room together. Following the changes in the surrounding scenes, they entered a huge library that could not be seen at a glance. The bookshelves are lined up, and the atmosphere of knowledge is extremely strong.

"This is between the rewards. The books on the bookshelf are all protected by inexplicable forces, and we can't take them down at all. We can only get the rewards." When Gaston said this, his serious expression appeared for the first time. It becomes complicated, sometimes fanatical, sometimes regretful.

"How to get the reward?" Abner asked after briefly looking at it.

"After sitting on those seats, the rewards will automatically appear in your hands." Mr. Gaston replied, pointing to the tables and chairs not far away. It seemed like an ordinary library seat for people who read books.

Abner nodded, walked over and sat down first, and then a thread-bound old book suddenly appeared in his hand. He subconsciously looked at the title of the book on the cover - "Gwen's Cave Adventure"

"What is this? A novel? Even if Mr. Gaston said that the rewards on the ninth floor are mediocre, it's not that bad, right?" With perplexed thoughts, Abner flipped through the book and roughly read After reading it again, I found that this book tells the story of the protagonist Miss Gwen exploring a strange cave, encountering many monsters inside, and finally escaped from the mouth of the dragon eye python and returned to the "Sword and Fire" bar.

"Longyan python?" Abner narrowed his eyes when he saw the word. The 'eyeball of the dragon's eye python' is one of the main ingredients of the 'Knowledge Keeper' potion, and it happens that such a thing is recorded in this novel, obviously it will not be aimless.

"It seems that this reward is to provide information on the main ingredients of the potion...Mr. Gaston said before that if you pass through the level too often, you will only reward the knowledge you have already understood and the information that is worthless...Then change In other words, for someone like me who came in for the first time, will I give the knowledge or very valuable information I want to know?"

Abner thought for a moment, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked Mr. Gaston who had finished reading the book at hand: "Do you know the 'Sword and Fire' bar?"

"It seems that you have got an important clue!" Mr. Gaston first glanced at him in surprise, and then replied, "Of course I know, the owner behind this bar is me, and I am still there Regular gatherings of Extraordinary people on the island."

Are you also keen to throw extraordinary parties? No wonder he and the teacher are friends... After Abner complained in his heart, he asked again: "So, this bar has not been established for a long time?"

"Yes, I only discovered the underground door of the school three years ago, and while working hard to break through the maze, I organized an extraordinary party to sell some of the knowledge I gained here." Mr. Gaston nodded.

In other words, the information in this novel is not outdated... Although this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' has been established for at least a hundred years, it seems to have the ability to continuously acquire new information and knowledge.

After silently analyzing for a while, Abner turned to Xio again and asked, "Hugh, what valuable information have you obtained?"

Xiu heard this and raised his head in confusion~IndoMTL.com~ pursed his lips and said, "This is a romance novel. I read it several times, but I didn't find anything useful."

"What's in the novel?" Since the awarded books can only be read by the winner himself, Abner could only ask.

"It's about a love story between a beautiful girl named Sherman and a noble man, and the worst part is that it's not finished yet, the story ends when Sherman becomes the nobleman's mistress ...I always feel that her future ending will not be good." Hugh briefly described the content of the story, and looked at Abner expectantly. She always felt that the other party must 'know' again.

Abner did know what was going on, but there were too many archangels and kings of angels involved, so how could he dare to talk now, so he could only ask, "What's the name of that nobleman?" Feeling: The information that Xio wants to know the most is the clues of her father's injustice.

"It's strange that it's not, because it's written in the first person. Miss Sherman has always been dear to that nobleman's title." Hugh is actually also very strange about this detail.

That's because if the name of the noble is given, the value of this information may exceed the limit allowed by the ninth floor reward...

Abner didn't say it directly, but said in somewhat vague terms: "Maybe you will meet that Miss Sherman in the future, and you will know what's going on."

Xiu heard the words and nodded helplessly, no longer entangled in this question.

Afterwards, the three of them took a short break and came to the other side of the reward room, where there was a passage leading to the next floor.

As for what knowledge Mr. Gaston acquired, he did not say, nor did Abner ask.

As the surrounding scenery changed, the three of Abner appeared in front of a mountain villa out of thin air.
