Chapter 5: The Spider Web Puzzle
When Paris followed Ivan and the others back to the mansion, there was only Han Feng in the mansion.
"It's okay for you guys to be fine, Cedar and they chased after Bai Ze, I guess they'll be back later." Han Feng stood up and enthusiastically went to pour water and get towels for them.
"Thank you. Paris took the hot tea and smiled slightly.
"How is it, have you found anything?" Han Feng asked anxiously.
Rebecca nodded slightly: "There was a little gain, but it still messed up......"
"I found the notebook of one of the deceased, but the owner of the book did not reveal his identity. We'll have to see how we can get more leads...... The premise, of course, is that it's true. Ataya opened the book and asked Rebecca to take a picture of it and save it.
"I took a lot of photos to recreate the situation. Rebecca said, still clapping her hands non-stop, "I hope Mr. He won't criticize us harshly, and Shang Bai Ze probably won't let us take advantage of it anymore." β
"Senior, are you alright...... What's wrong with him?" watched Cleo curl up on his stomach as Ataya looked at Rebecca.
"The stomach hurts, it's all caused by his ability. His powers of foreknowledge violated the laws of the world, so he offered his stomach to the world, his pain. Depending on the degree of change in the future, the level of pain he feels is different. It seems that if we are caught, we will be tortured a lot. Rebecca put down her camera and brought hot water to her brother.
"Is the ability of foresight so difficult to use......" Paris sighed, looking sympathetically at Cleo.
"It's not for nothing that the organization's most prophetic powers are known, but it's a very difficult power to use. Rebecca gently put her arm around her brother's shoulder and smiled wryly.
"That's it, you're fine...... What's wrong?" the door opened, and Cedar and the others walked in, stunned when they saw their appearance.
"It's nothing, come and take a look, this," Ataya raised her notebook, "Mr. He, and Ellie, let's see if you can identify whose handwriting it is, this is the diary of the deceased, and the battle recorded in it may be important." β
"Let's see. He Yanfang and Alicia both sat down and studied the notes carefully.
"How's it going over there?" asked Clio, looking up.
"He said he was going to seal up the ruins, but there was no way to do it, but that guy was so arrogant, but fortunately, he blocked it back. Harden said, patting Cedar on the shoulder.
"Oh, Cedar is so handsome?" Han Feng looked at Cedar in surprise.
Cedar smiled bitterly: "The envoy senior is really a little ...... Actually, it was Deneda whispering to me what to say......"
"Don't give me a chance to do this next time, Cedar, I don't like the feeling of manipulating you. His gentle synth still made a tired voice, and to be honest Paris was a little jealous, her La NiΓ±a was a cold dominant.
"Sister Nobueda, this is a big improvement for Komatsu, he will be independent, right?" Jean also smiled and patted Cedar's shoulder, Paris remembered that her previous mentors were all strict and almost harsh magicians, and couldn't help but sigh again, what a lucky child Cedar was.
"Now that Cedar is leading the investigation, the pressure will be greater than before. The god of spring and the god of wind will come over later, and we will have to discuss it. He continued, "Everyone, although it may sound unkind, we still have to understand that the dead are not all we have to face, we are still fighting against the Empress of the Firmament, and our real goal is the Dome Seat. β
"That said, we will train you as planned, and if necessary, we will prevent you from paying too much attention to the deceased. Sikong said calmly, glancing at He Yanfang, who looked away from his notes.
"Understood," Harden also looked at He Yanfang, "However, you seem reluctant to delve into it, why?"
Indeed, Paris also felt that He Yanfang was a little avoidant of the deceased, although this was a good thing for her, but she also wanted to know the reason.
"It's not reluctant, we also want to find out the hidden real culprit, but if we pay too much attention to the deceased, wouldn't we be like turning around and exposing our backs to the eyes of the Empress of the Firmament?" He Yanfang handed the notebook to Ellie, "This note should be written by a young man, I have a rough goal, and I will talk to the target task." β
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Aunt Feng's voice came: "It's us." β
Cedar ran over to open the door and welcomed the two gods in.
"Did you find anything?"
"Don't worry, we'll check it out. β
Regarding He Yanfang's answer, Aunt Feng sighed: "I'm sorry for you, but be careful, every time we intervene, we will alarm the murderer, which really makes us dare not act." β
"We agreed to the plan of action, and tomorrow we will take over in Future City, and the Demon King will be handed over to you. After Ju Mang finished speaking, he added, "Beware of the envoy, he is very stubborn, and no one knows what he is thinking." β
"Thanks for the reminder, we'll take note. He Yanfang smiled bitterly and nodded.
Ju Mang also sighed: "We can't pay attention, and we can't not pay attention, we are quite helpless......"
Jean looked at the photos of the ruins and smiled bitterly: "It may not be difficult to track down the murderer, but the difficult thing is how to avoid harm." We can't be suspicious of each other, we're just a tiny group, and it's the entire Demon Realm that opposes us, and once there is a gap, we will have nothing......"
"The Empress of the Firmament wants us to fight among ourselves, and we must be careful. He Yanfang looked at everyone and smiled slightly, "We can cross the barrier, right?"
"Absolutely. "Cedar looks like she's made up her mind.
Looking at Cedar, Paris wondered what kind of expression he would have on his face when he knew he was the dead. She couldn't imagine Cedar killing her, and she didn't want everyone here to hunt her down.
"You don't look too good," Aunt Wind's voice startled her, "The envoy seems to want to know the prophecy soon, Dawn Herald." β
Fortunately, just keeping an eye on Clio's condition, Paris looked at Clio as he sat up, and noticed that his iridescent eyes were slowly fading to a silver-gray again.
"It's fine, it's just that the power is a little overused, I've felt the breath on the ground while investigating the ruins, and now I'm writing the prophecy. He began to write, and everyone waited for him. He speaks Chinese well, but it seems a little difficult for him to convert the prophecy into words.
"I'm on the riverside before dawn,
Feel the waves of resentment.
Turning back to the sound of weeping,
Whispers deep under the walls.
οΌ
My alley in the dawn,
Pursue the footnotes of fear.
The jade shatters all the way,
Disintegrate Dan's ambitions.
οΌ
I'm in the forest trail on a sunny afternoon,
Capture the Shadow of Jealousy.
More than a drop of blood spilled,
Blinding the deep eyes of the faithful.
οΌ
I'm on the embankment at dusk.
Waiting for a restless confession.
The fear of the round eyes,
Responding to Kiyosheng from Tono.
οΌ
I'm on the top of the mountain at midnight,
Redeem the shocked soul.
Feathers dense rain road,
Pave the way of the underworld chosen by the fans.
οΌ
I am at the end of the city in the eternal night,
Drain the waterlogging of resentment.
Undulating endless reproaches,
Wash away the labyrinth set up by the Fool. β
"That's it," he put down his pen, and his silver pupils slowly returned to their original state, "Cedar, Changyou's predecessor died in prison, and there's nothing wrong with prison being on the riverside, right?"
"Hmm...... So, the first paragraph refers to the matter of the elder of the long right?" Cedar frowned and looked down nervously.
"It seems a little late...... However, the remaining paragraphs can be remedied. Clio nodded lightly and continued to lie back on the couch.
"There's more to come, do you want to guess the meaning of the next paragraph?" Rebecca patted her brother on the shoulder gently, still looking at the crowd with a bright face.
She glanced at Paris in particular, and Paris's cold and uneasy expression caught her attention. Paris gave her a quick look, then made her look at her, which made her smile quickly and look away.
Paris's expression was a little troubled, but she still hid her emotions and joined the discussion of the prophecy, and Rebecca could tell from the determined look in her eyes that she was serious about the deceased.
Rebecca quickly forgot about it, she was energetic and enthusiastic, she would be a brave explorer in a labyrinth of facts, but not a good discoverer, like a driven bee-
I'm in the shadows, Paris thought.
She might be a clever spider, because she is among the explorers, she can understand them, and she can mislead them.
I just want to live, and I'll try to keep my integrity alive. She said this to herself, naturally blending into the group.

Preview: The child who is still in the maze is still growing his enemies all the time, and the flower of revenge blooms dimly in the silver rain, awakening the anger and helplessness hidden beneath the deep exterior. Gather the feuds of the times, the people who kill each other...... The tragedy that is dragged by the chains of resentment and twists and turns like a whirlwind is the predetermined doom.
Drowned in the torrent of cause and effect, what can the pupils of the eyes obscured by the rain line see? What they see is nothing but fragmented reality, and what they feel is nothing but endless dizziness, they have fallen into the trap of the black waterβ
