The mountain villa is built on a cliff wall, the other three sides are cliffs, and only a wooden suspension bridge connects to the road. And by this time, the suspension bridge had been cut down! It's an island.

Looking at such a scene, Abner inexplicably felt a little familiar, and before he could say anything, the words written in Hermes's script floated in front of him: "Identify the murderer." (Only one chance)"

"It seems that the eighth layer of the maze this time is a crime-solving scene...... The 'only one chance' means that if you misidentify it, you'll be judged to have failed the level and exit the dream maze immediately. Mr. Gaston seems to have had a similar experience, and explained a little.

"Where's the murderer? Could it be in the villa? Hugh turned his head to look at the distinctly rune-style building behind him, and suddenly felt that it was a bit like the Rose Manor on the outskirts of Beckland.

"Just go in and see," after speaking, Abner, who had some ideas in his heart, took the lead in pushing the door and walked into the villa.

There were eight people in the villa, four men and four women, one of whom looked like a child of six or seven years old.

It is not known what kind of identity the dream labyrinth arranged for the three Abners, and their arrival did not arouse the suspicion of the people in the house.

"Conan? I actually ran into him again! At this time, Mr. Gaston looked at the child with a dismal expression, and there was a rare hint of anger in his usual steady tone.

Conan? When Abner heard the name, he immediately thought of the famous Grim Reaper schoolboy, and he took a closer look at the child.

Blue formal suit, red bow tie, wide-rimmed glasses...... The outfit is compatible, but this kid obviously looks like a Rune, and he doesn't look like the Grim Reaper schoolboy at all. And the decorative furniture and other things in the villa are not a little modern, and they look a little more backward than Beckland.

When Abner was full of doubts, Hugh whispered beside him, "Mr. Gaston, is there anything special about this child named Conan?" ”

"I've been on the eighth floor twice, and even on the ninth floor a few times, I've encountered a scene where he exists, and whenever I met him, my level ended in failure! This kid named Conan always appears in scenes where murders occur, and he is suspected to be an extraordinary person in the 'detective' sequence, his physical strength and arm strength are far beyond ordinary people, and his glasses, bow tie, belt, watch, and shoes are also powerful and extraordinary items! His reasoning skills are also very good, and once he preemptively identifies the murderer, our breakthrough will be judged as a failure! What a ......," Mr. Gaston took a deep breath before he didn't curse.

Mr. Gaston seems to have suffered several losses at the hands of Conan...... Hugh stole a glance at Abner as he thought so.

At this time, Abner's heart was full of WTF, if he was only a little suspicious of this so-called Conan before, then after listening to Mr. Gaston's words, he could already be sure that this Conan was the Grim Reaper schoolboy in his memory. Even if the length is not comparatively high!

Then he confirmed something that he had already guessed - this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' was indeed built by Russell the Great!

"He's not going to turn all the animations, movies, and TV series that he didn't have time to plagiarize into a dream maze scene, right? Speaking of which, the routine of the fireplace heating up in the escape room on the ninth floor, I seem to have seen it in some film and television work...... And now this scene, I'm afraid it's not a childhood shadow incident in Conan TV, right? Abner thought of this, but suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him, and he thought to himself, "So, I may be familiar with the plot of many scenes...... Maybe I can stop at the seventh layer, and with some knowledge of the scene, the danger of the sixth layer will not be so great. ”

He was thinking about it while the four men and four women in the room on the other side were discussing a bandage monster who had just attacked Conan's sister in the woods outside, and although it didn't work, it scared everyone out of the way.

"This bandage monster may be the so-called murderer, he doesn't seem to have succeeded yet, should we ambush him in advance and see if we can catch him?" Hugh suggested after eavesdropping. Although she can't use extraordinary abilities yet, she thinks that she can beat one or two ordinary people.

"It's not that simple...... The cases involving Conan are complex, and the bandaged freaks who appear to be murderers are often the first to die. I feel like we should keep an eye on everyone except Conan and his sister, they could all be murderers! Mr. Gaston shook his head and said with a deep look in his eyes. He seems to have Conan PTSD.

At this time, Abner came back to his senses, he smiled at Hugh, and then took a step forward, and said confidently: "Don't bother so much, I know who the murderer is!" "Because I've watched this episode!

And once the murderer's stomach is carefully examined, it is easy to see a slight incongruity.

"What?" Mr. Gaston really cried out in surprise this time, he had never seen a detective solve a case like this, and he locked on the murderer with just two glances? No, it's to lock up the murderer who hasn't committed the crime yet...... Is this reliable?

Mr. Gaston's cry also attracted the attention of Conan and the others, who all looked at Abner in disbelief.

Abner didn't sell much, he directly pointed to the 'fat man' with a big face, and said in one breath: "He's a bandage weirdo, he's not fat, and his stomach is filled with cotton or something similar, so that he can hide things after committing the crime and not be found out." And the reason why he wanted to attack this young lady was because this young lady had seen him change clothes and might have discovered his secret. ”

Abner's words made everyone around him look at the 'fat man' in shock, and even the other two adult men had sandwiched him between left and right.

Immediately after, the 'fat man' showed a gloomy expression and took out the filling from his belly...... At this moment, the surrounding scenes suddenly shattered, and the villa, the cliff, Conan and other scenes were all gone, and the three of Abner fell into the reward again.

The Dream Labyrinth only requires the identification of the killer and does not require evidence.

Mr. Gaston was still in a dream until this moment, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Is the detective so good at the true value of my 1,000 pounds?" I thought that Conan was the best detective among them! Didn't expect ......"

Detectives who have seen the plot must be so powerful! Abner sneered, ignoring Mr. Gaston, who had gone astray in his understanding of the profession of detective, and walked straight to his seat in front of the bookcase, eager to know what the reward would be.

Hugh was not surprised, for he had been so 'unexpected' ever since he met Abner.

As soon as he sat down, Abner had an extra note in his hand - "The Occult Records of Elnoth"

"This time it seems to be knowledge......" Thinking to himself, Abner opened his notebook and began to read carefully. This is no more than fiction, and Abner has always had great respect for knowledge, especially after the conversion.

After reading the last page of the note, he habitually pinched his chin with his fingers, and thought: "This person named Elnos should be a 'wizard' of Hermit Path Sequence 7, I have already learned most of the ritual magic and occult knowledge recorded in his notes, only the last ritual of borrowing power from high-level extraordinary items to make charms is a bit interesting, because this ritual magic bypasses the step of praying to the gods!" ”

Abner is not interested in the specific method of making the charm, but on the way of making it. For the extraordinary person who is good at using ritual magic, the 'White Tower' method is extraordinary, and with a new idea, he can create a more suitable method for himself.

"Originally, I didn't want to pray to the gods, so I couldn't make items to connect to the Source Castle...... But according to this line of thinking, I can borrow the power of the Pure White Eye to complete it! Its personality is high enough, and the knowledge I got about hooking up with the Source Fort was originally parsed by it, so it should be fine to give an item temporarily...... It's just that if you want to conduct an experiment, I'm afraid that you have to be promoted to Sequence 7, and the spirituality of the 'reasoning student' is still too weak to support such a ritual. ”

Although it is a pity that it cannot be practiced for the time being, Abner is still very satisfied with the rewards of the eighth layer, and this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' is indeed very generous to those who clear the level for the first time.

Turning his head, Abner noticed that Hugh beside him was smiling and bending his eyebrows, looking very happy.

"What did you get?" Abner asked curiously.

"The reward is a biography of the person, but it mentions the name of one of the main ingredients in the 'Sheriff' potions recipe!" Hugh replied in a cheerful voice.

The sheriff's two main materials seem to be mentioned in the "Master of Mystery" novel...... I'll find an excuse in a few days to tell him to rest properly. Abner thought so in his heart, but asked in his mouth, "Whose biography is it?" Maybe there are other clues to hide. ”

"A biography of a Royal Navy boatswain named Ayran who rose through the ranks from ordinary sailor to boatswain, and at the end of his biography he retired to become captain of a passenger ship." Hugh said to himself in some confusion, "Another unfinished story...... Why do I always come across this kind of writing that is gone halfway through? ”

Maybe it's because you're constantly urging Forthth? Abner complained comically in his heart.
