Dungeon Player

"Dead? Has the clue been broken again?"

Sherlock asked after hearing Blue's report.

"No, those players from another world found a new clue, the cat in the box."

Blue said quickly, and a screen quickly popped up on the computer in front of Sherlock. The screen was a post on the forum. The player recorded a three-minute video. In the video was a box with a box inside. I got a cat puppet, and the focus is on that puppet.

"This is a puppet cat that has been casted by rune magic."

The black cat Pineapple next to him recognized the puppet at the first sight of it on the video screen.

The parrot on Sherlock's shoulder also nodded and said:

"Obviously someone used rune magic to control this puppet. Could it be some bored kid playing house?"

A cat and a parrot were discussing over there. Sherlock did not answer them, but asked:

"Where is this ragdoll cat now?"

"Because it was evidence found at the scene, it has been taken back to the Winterfell Police Station."

Blue said.

Sherlock picked up his coat and was about to leave, but Blue suddenly said:

"Lord Sherlock, there is actually a piece of news on the forum that really concerns me. I think you should read it."

As Blue said, another video quickly appeared on the computer screen. That video was the video recorded when Arthur and others just met Boss Mole.

In the video, Boss Mole mentions the term "six guests."

"Lord Sherlock, although I know it's not a good idea to ask like this, are you sure it's not you who has been following them all this time?"

Blue asked quickly.

But Sherlock shook his head:

"No, I won't do such a thing, but I can probably guess who it is. Blue, find where the top student is and ask him to come to my office."

Not long after Sherlock issued the order, Blue answered Sherlock with some surprise:

"Um, Lord Sherlock, the academic master is not in the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon or the Adventurer's Guild in the Old City of Winterfell. He has not been seen within the range of the players' activities. Is he absent from work today?"

Sherlock touched his chin, and then showed a thoughtful expression:

"It's interesting. There's no need to look for the top student. He's probably missing too."

"No way? Could it be that the top student is following Arthur and the others?"

"To say that they are following is a bit exaggerated. It is more likely that the top student is also investigating the disappearance of Professor Bacon. He might occasionally see them following them, but the real situation will only be known after the top student is found."

Sherlock shrugged his shoulders and left the Lord's Hall, but judging from his frown, Sherlock was not in a good mood.

————————

The main hall of Winterfell.

Sherlock sat in front of Nicholas, and between them was the cat doll that had just been taken from the Winterfell Guard.

"Lord Sherlock, does this doll have anything to do with Professor Bacon's disappearance?"

Nicholas asked with a serious expression.

"Huh? How did City Lord Nicholas know?"

Sherlock raised his eyebrows, not expecting Nicholas to know about Professor Bacon's disappearance.

"Ah, actually I just got the news from the Guard, because some players from the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon went to the Guard to call the police and gave some weird codes, saying that they were related to the disappearance of Professor Bacon, and from then on Those five criminal suspects, ah, I mean, the confessions provided by the first witnesses at the scene, they were searching for the missing Professor Bacon."

Nicholas explained quickly, and Sherlock nodded quickly:

"It turns out that the situation is just like what you saw, Lord Nicholas. For some reasons, Professor Bacon disappeared. However, before he disappeared, he once wrote to the Lich Academic Master in our eternal kingdom dungeon. You I also know that the top student is Professor Bacon’s most proud disciple, so of course I can’t ignore this matter, so I asked my people to go out and help search for him, but I didn’t expect what happened yesterday.”

"Yeah, it's really sad. He was burned to death in an accident at such a young age..."

Nicholas nodded, looking sad.

"Is it still handled as an accident now?"

Sherlock was stunned.

"Yes, after all, in a place full of dangerous burning objects, you actually open a restaurant with an open fire. For such a dangerous thing, it is normal for a fire accident to occur. I have ordered an investigation of fire hazards throughout Winterfell and requested relevant authorities. The department will increase supervision and punishment.”

Seeing what Nicholas said, Sherlock nodded, and then pointed to the cat doll on the table:

"Then let's deal with it as an accident. By the way, can you give me this cat doll?"

———————

Of course, Nicholas would not refuse Sherlock's request, and he generously handed the doll to Sherlock.

And Sherlock soon discovered the secret in the doll.

It is not difficult to see that this is a disguised magic energy recorder.

And the two eyes of that doll are gold fine round stones that store the video.

Sherlock brought the cat doll back to the Eternal Kingdom dungeon, and then input his magic power on the cat doll in the Lord's Hall, and soon a picture appeared.

A blurry Professor Bacon appears in the picture, his skeletal face revealing an anxious look.

"If you can see this picture, Xueba, it means you have found the right clue. I can't say too much, and I can't tell you where I am, because I don't know where I am. I encountered There are really no words to describe what happened, but you might be able to find a way to find me."

Professor Bacon looked around, then spoke a few words silently to the screen with his skull mouth, and the screen stopped abruptly.

As for the other golden round stone, after inputting magic power, the picture that appeared was completely a cat picture.

Yes, literally, cat movies.

"Well... what does this mean? Why do you need to lip read when you can speak directly? And considering the fact that he has no lips at all, there is no way we can understand what Professor Bacon is saying."

After watching the video, Blue said in a tone of evolutionary madness.

But Sherlock didn't speak. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then his eyes flashed:

"I see."

"Oh?! Lord Sherlock, do you even know this?"

(I’m sorry, I wrote 5,000 words today and ran through the real estate license. I’m very tired and dizzy. I’m really out of shape. I’m extremely sorry!)
