Start with the Readers Chapter 42: Layer 7

"I don't know what the scene of the secret labyrinth on the seventh floor will be like. Mr. Fool... No, in this kind of luck, you have to seek the favor of the God of Knowledge. I hope I'm more familiar with it..." Abu Nam prayed silently as he waited for Mr. Gaston to read his award.

Don't look at him as if he was holding wisdom beads in the previous two levels, he found the key to pass the level in a flash. But that's just cheating. It's actually very difficult to objectively talk about the scenes on the first two floors!

The ninth level is okay, if you search patiently in the house, you will be able to find the password after all. But the heating device is also a hidden danger. If one is not paying attention, he may be dehydrated due to the heat and lose the ability to move.

As for the eighth floor, not to mention how complicated the case itself is, it was extremely difficult to find the murderer before Conan. Stronger than Conan.

It's no wonder that Mr. Gaston rarely clears the level on the eighth floor.

"Okay, let's continue." Just as Abner was diverging his thoughts, Mr. Gaston had already stood up again.

Without further delay, the three resolutely set foot on the passage on the seventh floor.

While the scene was changing, Abner found himself in a dark wooden room, but the 'ground' under his feet was abnormally bumpy. He was familiar with this feeling. There is often this feeling of unsteady footing on the deck of the ship.

"So, this is a scene on a sea ship?"

Before he had time to think about it, a gust of evil wind hit from behind. Abner, who already had the master fighting skills of the 'Wisdom Keeper', was not panicked by this. Naturally, he stretched out his leg and caught the attacker's foot, and the man immediately fell to the ground due to his unstable center of gravity.

Abner seized the opportunity to bully him, put his knee on the back of the opponent's neck, and snatched the long sword from his hand.

After finishing all this, he looked around and found that Xio had also cut back a man who looked like a sailor. And Mr. Gaston was even more decisive, took out his revolver and directly shot dead the villain who rushed towards him.

Although there were still faint sounds of fighting outside the cabin, the cabin had already quieted down. Abner cautiously opened his pure white eyes and 'retrospected' the scene. The sword pressed against the assailant, and he asked, "What is this place? Why are you attacking me?"

But the man who fell on the ground didn't answer, instead there was a non-human "ho" and "ho" sound from his throat, and his eyes were bloodshot and red.

Seeing this, Abner frowned, and then looked at the prisoner on Hugh's side, only to find that the person was in the same state as he was holding down,

"Are they crazy? Or did they receive some kind of mental stimulation?" Xiu Jian couldn't ask anything, guessing after knocking the prisoner unconscious,

"Could it be that everyone in the boat is crazy? Then what are our conditions for passing the customs?" Abner was also full of doubts.

At this time, Mr. Gaston pointed to a note on the cabin table and said, "The conditions for customs clearance should be there."

After imitating Hugh's example and knocking the captive unconscious, Abner went to the table and took a look at the note:

"Find out the real cause of the internal strife on the ship."

"Most of the time, the clearance conditions are texts that appear directly in front of our eyes, but sometimes they are also displayed in other forms, such as the note this time. For example, when I encountered Conan before, the condition was in a It appeared on a banner hanging from an airship..." Mr. Gaston came over at this time, shot two shots at the captive who was stunned by the Abners, and then continued, "It can be seen that you are very serious about killing people. I'm not quite used to it yet, but whether it's in the dream labyrinth or in the real mysterious world, you should get rid of that innocence as soon as possible. Hehe, in my opinion, practice more to adapt to the dream scene while you won't really die There is no harm. What's more, most of these attackers are scum and scum, and they are not real 'people'."

Abner and Hugh looked at each other, knowing that what Mr. Gaston said was very reasonable, and he was sincerely doing it for their benefit. So he was taught humbly, and decided not to keep his hands when there was a fight. Of course, this does not violate their own principles of dealing with affairs, and they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

After gradually gaining awareness in their hearts, the three of them walked out of the cabin one by one, and came to a remote side deck under the cover of each other.

It was night at this time, the dark clouds in the sky were very thick, covering the crimson, the deck was pitch black, and the visibility was very low.

Seeing that no enemies appeared, Abner habitually found loopholes in the clearance conditions, and asked: "Is there no time limit for this clearance condition? If we wait for the ship to dock, let the nighthawks or substitutes Is it alright to find out the truth?"

"Impossible, although it is not clearly written, most of the scenes have a time limit! For example, the scene of Conan encountered on the eighth floor must be identified before he deduces the murderer, otherwise it will be judged to fail to pass the level It should be similar here." Mr. Gaston shook his head and denied. This hidden rule has tricked him several times.

While they were talking, a man's unwilling roar and a woman's intermittent sobbing suddenly came from the corner ahead, followed by another man's panting sound accompanied by the sound of clothes being torn...

Hugh, who had spent so long in the taverns in the East District, quickly realized what had happened. She and Abner exchanged glances, and the two of them took out their revolvers at the same time, and hurried to the corner. M. Gaston, on the other hand, walked behind, guarding against an attack from another direction.

The purpose of the entry was a scene that made Xio furious. A man was nailed to death on the outer wall of the cabin by a long sword, and two well-dressed men were tearing a man on the ground with grim expressions. Women's dresses.

This time, Xio didn't hesitate, and wasn't even willing to waste bullets on these two scumbags. The thorns scratched their necks.

The lady who had most of her clothes torn off was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the side of the man nailed to the wall, crying loudly: "Honey! Please! Please wake up... ...don't leave me behind."

Seeing such a scene, Xio felt very uncomfortable. Her eyes were covered with a layer of mist. She retreated to Abner's side, deliberately changed the subject and said, "Is the suppression of extraordinary abilities on the seventh floor effective?" I was so big before, and I can use most of the abilities of the 'Arbitrator'. But the 'Ring of Prediction' given by Mr. Stanton can't be used yet."

Regarding this, Abner just nodded slightly, without giving a response. Because it doesn't make any difference to him, so what if the fighting power of the 'reader' is restored? The premise is that the "reader" has such a thing as combat power! And he has always been able to use extraordinary abilities when the pure white eyes are opened.

After crying for a while, the lady picked up a dagger that the assailant had dropped on the ground. She pointed it at her abdomen, struggling a little on her face, as if she wanted to commit suicide just like that, but was also afraid of pain Don't dare to do it.

However, Xio didn't give her a chance to make a choice, and directly shot down the dagger, and comforted her: "You must live strong! It is because he gave his life to protect you before that you can't live up to his sacrifice." , we must live!"

Although she knew that this lady was not a real 'person', and probably guessed that this scene might have been reset countless times, she still couldn't bear to see her die in despair and grief.

The lady listened to Hugh's words, looked at the man nailed to the wall and was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, you are right! I have to live! I want to fight for my dear Revenge! Send all the beasts on this boat to be shot!"

Seeing that her mood gradually stabilized, Abner stepped forward and asked, "What happened on this boat? Why are there so many villains running rampant?"

"Don't you even know?" The lady asked back in surprise.

The characters in this dream labyrinth are so intelligent that they still doubt it, much better than Conan's scene. Abner thought so in his heart, but said vaguely on the surface: "We have been sleeping in the upper cabin, and when we woke up, we found that people were crazy..."

The woman nodded, she didn't know whether she believed the statement, but she still answered Abner's previous question: "It's five days after we left Kaiser Harbor on the Clover, we encountered that terrible pirate. -- Nast talks about..."

"'King of the Five Seas' Nast?!" Both Hugh and Abner exclaimed ~IndoMTL.com~ and the latter thought the name 'Clover' was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Yes, 'King of the Five Seas' Nast claimed to be a descendant of the Solomon Empire, and he abides by the virtue of not killing prisoners. Because of this, we were only looted of money and did not lose our lives. His The subordinates even left us enough food..." Speaking of this, the lady looked at the two people in front of her in puzzlement, no matter how soundly asleep she would not be unaware of the pirate attack, right? Nast's men searched every cabin.

Abner also knew that he was suspicious, but what he cared about was that this scene was derived from reality, maybe it was a real thing that happened.

"Everyone lost not too much property... I originally thought that the bad luck was over, but during the subsequent voyage, fierce internal strife suddenly broke out among the passengers and crew of the Clover, ranging from disputes to Fighting, and then pulling out the revolver, raising the straight sword, killing each other...they quickly became completely crazy, not only killing people on sight, but also wantonly assaulting ladies, torturing the weak...some real perverts have limbs, hearts and intestines It's splashed all over the floor!" When describing this, the lady bit her lips tightly, as if trying to drive away her weakness and fear with anger.

But at this time, Abner no longer paid attention to these details, he already understood what was going on, so he only asked inexplicably at the end: "Do you know what date it is today?"

"Ah?" The lady almost didn't turn the corner when asked this question, and replied after a while, "It should be July 1st."

Hearing this answer, Abner looked at the night sky covered by dark clouds, exhaled, and said to himself:

"Maybe... this is something that is happening!"
