Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Pessville Street, "Red Gloves" lounge.

Leonard, having finished writing the mission report and returned the sealed artifact, lounged ungentlemanly on the sofa, reading today's newspaper.

After another "Red Gloves" member left the lounge, leaving only Leonard, an old man's voice echoed in his ears: "You were just affected by a sealed artifact of a very high level."

This voice came from "Grandpa" within Leonard, Pallez Zoroaster, an angel of the "Theft" pathway.

Leonard was slightly stunned upon hearing this voice, but he continued to act as if he were reading the newspaper: "How did I not notice? Is it the sealed artifact on that informant, Audis?"

"No, although that Audis also has many secrets, he is also being affected by that sealed artifact," Pallez said with a chuckle.

Leonard frowned: "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"Because that sealed artifact doesn't intend to harm you, it's just stalling for time," Pallez said. "If I had reminded you earlier, you would have easily been drawn into some strange and bizarre events."

Leonard asked again: "What kind of sealed artifact is it?"

"The Aleister Hood Manuscript," Pallez said bluntly.

Leonard suddenly stood up: "Where is it?"

"0-08" in Backlund, also means that Ince Zangwill is in Backlund.

"I don't know," Pallez said with a smile. "What? Do you want to report it immediately and then start a city-wide search for Ince Zangwill?"

Leonard narrowed his eyes slightly: "Such a vicious wanted criminal has been at large for too long!"

"If your captain, Soest, asks you where you got the information, how will you answer?"

Leonard opened his mouth, unsure how to answer for a moment.

"I told you a long time ago, before you reach Sequence 5, just pretend you didn't hear such news," Pallez advised earnestly.

Leonard took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the flames of revenge in his heart: "What is the purpose of '0-08' this time?"

Pallez said: "It probably doesn't want Cullen and the others to catch that 'witch'."

Leonard frowned: "That witch…"

"I don't know anything," Pallez said immediately. "You'd better not know anything either."

Leonard didn't continue the topic, but asked again: "Old man, '0-08' should know me, does it know you?"

"Hehe," Pallez said with a chuckle: "'0-08' sounds scary, but this old man always has some ways to deal with it."

Provided that "0-08" isn't messed with.

Leonard "oh"ed distractedly, he had been thinking about how to safely report the information about "0-08" to Soest since just now.

But another problem was in front of him, how to find "0-08"?

Perhaps if the "Red Gloves" took action, "0-08" would be aware of it.

And Pallez was also very clear that if this guy listened to his advice, he wouldn't be called Leonard.

… …

66 Rose Street.

In the evening, Karl sent the promised reward, a total of 300 pounds.

The two had a cup of coffee, chatted for a while, and then Karl left.

When Audis continued to go to the "Knowledge Wilderness" to study the magic circle in the evening, he immediately discovered the unreasonable things that happened today the moment he entered!

He first lamented that his and Karl's brains must have been kicked by donkeys, that after learning the murderer's address, they were still dragging their feet, resulting in the other party having time to escape.

Or rather… had time to transfer.

Audis "recalled" that Triss seemed to have discovered that her life was being manipulated by some extraordinary power, and repeatedly wanted to attract the attention of official Beyonders, so as to get herself out of it.

Then Darren's commission should be one of her efforts.

However, her little actions were still discovered, so "0-08" "reasonably" held up the official Beyonders, and the people of the "Witch Sect" took the opportunity to transfer Triss and destroy all the clues there.

Audis smiled, it was good that he didn't come into contact with Triss, he didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Then Audis calculated the date, the "Great Smog" was about to happen next week, he planned to do something under Bernadette's protection.

He wasn't interested in George III's mausoleum, but planned to save a few more people.

This was an idea he had long ago, when he first transmigrated three years ago, he felt that it didn't matter whether he cared about this kind of thing or not.

But after living in this city for a while, Audis saw the homeless people wandering the streets, and the people who went bankrupt for various reasons, were kicked out by the landlord, and stood on the street with a dazed look.

At first, he would sigh, this is the sorrow of the times.

Later, when he saw homeless people dying on the streets every day in winter, and some people were busy all day long, but still couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing.

At this time, Audis suddenly realized one thing: these are living people, not NPCs in the game. He doesn't care what era this is, but he demands that he can't ignore life like most people in this era.

So he had the idea of saving people.

Before meeting Bernadette, Audis's plan was: don't take risks, don't force yourself, save as many people as you can.

After having Bernadette's protection, Audis felt that he should be able to save most people, and if Bernadette was willing to crack down on that "Despair Witch", perhaps this "Great Smog" might be equivalent to a flu.

As for this Great Smog making Klein feel the disaster brought by the extraordinary, and feel the fragility of ordinary people, which is of great significance to him and the like.

That has nothing to do with Audis, is the protagonist amazing? In order to make him realize something, should tens of thousands of people be left to die?

Audis felt that if he didn't do anything, his state would definitely have problems!

Another function of the "Great Smog" is that the royal family uses this disaster to cover up the missing population of Backlund.

This has even less to do with Audis, the royal family doesn't pay him a salary, why should he help those ambitious people cover up their conspiracy?

With such ideological guidance, Audis planned to do a big job next week.

First recalling his plan, Audis restrained his mind and began to study the magic circle found in the ruins.

After gaining some more gains, Audis returned to the real world, went to the desk and opened the notebook and wrote: I have something to discuss with you.

Then, he took a book, half-lying on the bed while reading and waiting.

To Audis's surprise, even when it was almost midnight, Audis didn't get any response from Bernadette.

Logically speaking, Bernadette's "invisible servant" should come around occasionally.

He had no choice but to rest first and wait until tomorrow.

At night, Audis had a dream, he dreamed that he was walking on the street outside, in front of him was a bustling crowd.

Suddenly, Audis felt danger ahead, and just as he was about to turn his head away, the surrounding pedestrians stopped and looked at Audis blankly.

Bang ~

A pedestrian's head exploded like a small bomb.

Bang bang bang ~

This seemed to trigger a chain reaction, the surrounding heads exploded one by one, and blood and brain matter even began to flow on the ground.

Audis wanted to escape from here, but his feet couldn't move at all.

Just then, Audis felt the whole world shake.

Whoosh ~

He suddenly sat up, waking up from the nightmare.

Immediately, Audis was startled, Bernadette, who looked somewhat tired, was standing by the bed, she was the one who had been shaking Audis just now.

Audis wiped his face and smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect to be scared by a nightmare."

"Mystery Queen" said seriously: "That is your spirituality giving a warning."

"Warning?" Audis was slightly stunned: "You… what does the 'Moses Ascetic Order' want to do?"

He realized that Bernadette had such a reminder, she should have found something dangerous to him, and those dangers should come from the "Moses Ascetic Order", after all, she had been tracking the senior members of the "Moses Ascetic Order" recently.

"They are conducting a ritual to bring the evil god down somewhere in Backlund," Bernadette said. "The ritual should have already begun."

One mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one is, one look, one look!

Audis was stunned at first, and then said: "The official Beyonders didn't notice?"

"I don't know," Bernadette said. "This ritual may take several days, so they are doing it very secretly, and I haven't found where they are performing the ritual."

Audis didn't panic too much: "The official Beyonders should be able to detect it. The worst plan is that the demigods can't solve this problem, then they will definitely send angels to destroy the 'Moses Ascetic Order's' actions."

"Mystery Queen" didn't speak.

Audis finally realized the seriousness of the situation: "The angels can't solve it?"

Bernadette said: "I don't know either, but I know that this ritual is very high-level, very high!"

Audis put on his shoes and stood up in front of Bernadette: "Then what should I do?"

"I'm also thinking of a way," Bernadette said. "If I can find some clues, I will tell the official Beyonders through you."

Audis nodded: "No problem."

"Mysterious Queen" then said: "What can I do for you?"

Audis waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll talk about it later."

Obviously, the disaster created by the "Moses Ascetic Order" is also very dangerous, and the "Great Smog" can be put aside for now.

Bernadette glanced in the direction of the window: "That ritual will definitely overflow with a lot of strange power. In the past few days, Backlund will have many extraordinary events."

After speaking, her figure faded and disappeared into Audis's room.

Audis took a deep breath and said to himself: Why did this happen suddenly?

This thing is not in his "memory"!

Then he thought again: Why do I always encounter such high-level events these past few days? The Daren couple's commission originally looked very ordinary, but it was affected by "0-08". I originally wanted to talk to Bernadette about the "Great Smog" plan, but I learned that the "Moses Ascetic Order" is performing a ritual to bring the evil god down.

Audis suddenly became alert. All of this seemed logical, but that was exactly where it was wrong.

He leaned back on the bed again and entered the "Knowledge Wilderness" in a "meditative" way.

Here, he has a wealth of advanced knowledge reserves, and he can imagine anything without any restrictions.

Audis seriously recalled that it has been almost three and a half years since he traveled to this world, and it was only in the past few days that he frequently encountered high-level events.

There have been three times so far: once was with Bernadette to explore the ruins of the Trunsoest Empire, once was the Daren couple's commission, and once was the ritual of the "Moses Ascetic Order" that he just learned about.

If there were only one or two times, it would be nothing. If you encounter or learn about such high-level extraordinary events three times in a row, then it must not be a coincidence.

Immediately, Audis thought that all of this started from exploring the ruins of the Trunsoest Empire.

Before that, the highest level event he had encountered was the joint operation launched by "Mechanical Heart" and "Night Watchers".

As for the monitoring of him by the God of Steam and Machinery, this is a long-term event, and Audis did not directly encounter this god, so it cannot be regarded as an encounter event.

Audis recalled carefully that after the exploration, he carefully examined his condition and was not contaminated in any way.

Could it be that at that time, his fate was manipulated by an unknown existence?

But who manipulated his fate? How was it manipulated? He has no clue at all.

Because those who can manipulate their fate so unknowingly must be high-level existences, but he has never encountered any high-level existences from beginning to end.

He even thought: Could it be that "0-08" is still watching me?

After thinking for a while, because there were no clues, he could only think of this for now.

Returning to the real world, Audis certainly couldn't sleep, but he also tried not to let himself think wildly, because no matter what guess he made now, there was no theoretical basis.

Let's solve the immediate matter first.

He began to plan how to use his intelligence network to determine the location where the "Moses Ascetic Order" was holding the ritual as soon as possible.

Soon, dawn came.

After calming down for a few hours, Audis was no longer so anxious. He ate breakfast seriously, and then wrote a letter to Mandy, asking her to mobilize all intelligence personnel to collect strange things that happened in Backlund in the past few days.

Then he wrote a letter to the Backlund Mechanical Research Association to remind them.

After giving the letter to a coachman of a rental carriage and asking him to send it to Mandy and the Mechanical Research Association, Audis returned to 77 Heilin Avenue through the "teleportation circle" in the basement and took a rental carriage to preside over the Mysticism Research Association.

Putting on the "leader's" attire, Audis came out of the basement, sat quietly in his seat, watching the members enter one by one.

At half past eight, Audis said: "Let's start."

He paused slightly and then said: "First of all, I will issue a task."

The members were all stunned. The "leader" rarely issued tasks. Every time a task was issued, it meant that something dangerous or urgent was about to happen.

"Help me pay attention to the movements in Backlund." Audis said: "If you encounter or hear about any extraordinary events or strange things, sort them out and bring them here to trade with me.

"Each event is 30 pounds, and repetitive transactions are not accepted."

Strange things?

This task is somewhat strange.

Member "Hound" asked: "'Leader' sir, what happened?"

"I got a secret message." Audis knew very well that now was not the time to hide it: "There is an evil extraordinary organization setting up a ritual in Backlund, planning to bring their evil god down."
