Chapter 24 Archives
"Ruins Library Archives, No. 7-486, entry: Mirror of Latent Desire." Warrent read as he watched.
"Source of Contraband: Vine of Pleasure (Extinction)."
"The sixth of the seven artifacts of the 'Spirit Sacrifice'. According to the description of Largon, the chief priest of the 'Vine of Pleasure', the 'Mirror of Desire' was born 260 years ago at the hands of noble craftsmen and served as a 'secret link' for the banquets of early nobles, == DELETED==. ”
"The cultists of the 'Vine of Pleasure' collected hundreds of samples of bodily fluids, supplemented by various secret ritual materials, and sacrificed this mirror that witnessed countless joyful scenes to the evil god 'Danato', thus transforming it into one of the paths to the Styx Dead Realm."
"The last record of the 'Mirror of Desire' is the abnormal fire in the Duke's Mansion in Pannessey City 15 years ago. Witnesses confirmed that the mirror was stolen by unknown persons disguised as police officers after the fire. ”
"Since the core of the 'Vine of Pleasure' is 'life', the main directions currently being tracked are 'Church of the Death Knell', 'The Coffin of Garan' and 'Ivy League'."
"Danger level: Level 7 contraband. (speculation only, to be verified)"
"Response Notes: Unknown."
"Recorded by: Roland."
……
After reading the contents of this dossier, Lowe and Warrent fell silent at the same time.
Warrent is afraid: he is only a third-level wizard, and normally, in the face of this level of "contraband", it cannot be said that he will die, but only that he will die.
If it weren't for Luo Wei inexplicably breaking this mirror, he might have just stepped into the manor villa, and he would have been cold.
Lowe was in great shock.
According to this dossier, the place he entered in a daze was called "Styx Death".
To put it mildly, hell.
If you guess correctly, the evil god "Danato" mentioned in the file is what you saw, the huge existence.
"So...... Did I go for a walk around the underworld and come back? ”
The more Lowe thought about it, the more outrageous he felt. What is the Monkey King plot......
He became more and more suspicious:
How did you survive that situation?
At that time, the illusion was really using the "Holy Grail" to suck the water of the River Styx?
What exactly is the water of the River Styx?
Will you be polluted by evil gods?
……
If it weren't for the two wizards standing beside him, he would have been eager to lie down and enter the illusion to see what was going on.
"This entry is going to be invalidated."
Evan spoke up next to him, "We've tried many things, and that mirror has completely lost all magical properties. If nothing else, the file will be updated as 'damaged' when the Ruined Library is back in the house. ”
Lowe swallowed.
Are you in trouble...... It seems to have broken something quite important.
Evan seemed to sense Lowe's weakness and turned his head to look at him: "For contraband, there is no responsibility for damage. ”
"That's good." Lowe breathed a sigh of relief.
"But that's not your problem." Evan's words immediately afterwards made his newly relieved heart hang again, "If there is only one time, it can be called an accident, but you have been involved in vicious events several times in a row, and without exception, you have 'escaped' by chance." ”
Evan stared into Lowe's eyes and said very seriously, "Now, I have to see you as some kind of threatening existence. ”
"My brother, but I'm just a penniless Muggle." Luo Wei said aggrievedly.
"That's what makes people incomprehensible!" Warrent cried out, "Think about yourself! It starts when you 'accidentally' get a spell! ”
"Because of the spell you discovered, a fourth-level wizard died in the sewers for some reason."
"Then you decided to go out in the afternoon, to Lawrence's house, and 'accidentally' bumped into a member of the Church of the Death Bell, and I almost risked my life and lost a month's salary!"
"Then, by chance, you invented some kind of divination tool, and you were invited to Medwell Manor. It just so happened that a certain aristocratic lady, who never knew how, got this item 'by chance', and was 'accidentally' bumped into by you, but you survived again! ”
"Don't you think there's too much 'accidental' in this?"
Warrent took a few sharp breaths and concluded: "In less than ten days from the time I have known you to the present, I have encountered more outrageous things than I have experienced in the past twenty years!" ”
Luo Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Then you have lived a boring life in the past twenty years?" ”
"You?! ——”
Warrent couldn't help but want to pull out his wand and physically beat the man with a very poor expression.
But Luo Wei also secretly felt in his heart that it was indeed outrageous. I seem to be like a certain Grim Reaper elementary school student in the anime of my previous life, and wherever I go, there is a major case.
"I can't follow in the footsteps of a poor god surnamed Zhou, and be 'rationalized' by some seal, right?" Luo Wei couldn't help but complain to himself, "Readers who have read this kind of plot once will feel that it is not new." ”
"There are so many things in this world that are difficult to explain." Evan said in a deep voice, "So we actually have good reason to wonder if you have become some kind of special constitution that 'causes calamity' because of Lawrence's spell in the beginning. ”
"Oh, yes."
Lowe suddenly thought of a question: "What happened to Mr. Lawrence's body?" ”
"Why do you ask this?" Evan frowned.
"I just want to know."
The man rubbed his temples and thought about it for a moment, then replied, "If you remember correctly, Lawrence's body was sent for cremation after it was confirmed that he had died from a magical backlash. ”
Luo Wei was a little surprised: "Nothing else to find?" ”
"He died in an instant, and the various features of the body were already very obvious, and we didn't have any way to get more information." Warrent spoke.
It seemed that they really didn't see the "scythe skull" mark on Lawrence's left arm. Luo Wei also saw this file when he suddenly remembered that there was such a stubble.
He thought for a moment and decided to speak truthfully: "Didn't you notice that on Mr. Lawrence's left arm, there is a blue-black mark on a clock, a sickle, and a skull. ”
Evan Warrent: "?! ”
“…… It seems so. Lowe shook his head, "I think you can hire a professional forensic doctor if you have the chance." ”
"Captain, this ......" Warrant craned his neck.
"It's really an omission."
Evan's face was a little uncontrollable.
It is true that he has never been very good at investigating cases, and he was cremated after the examination, and he personally gave the order.
"Ahem."
Evan coughed dryly, took out a small notebook from his bosom, flipped through it back and forth, and found one of the pages.
"Are you talking about this mark?"
Lowe looked over and saw that the familiar mark was displayed on the page.
"Yes, yes, that's it."
"Isaac, go and retrieve Lawrence's file, I'm going to recomb it!" Evan put away his notebook.
"And ...... overtime tonight?"
"Come back after adjusting the file and continue to make records! Alyssa, they'll be there in a moment! Evan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
Warrent wailed and left aggrieved.
Luo Wei watched silently from the side, feeling kind. Sure enough, the workplace in this world is the same, newcomers always suffer the most and work the most......
He cleared his throat and whispered to the man in front of him, "That, captain." Will I be able to go home normally tonight? ”
"Yes, but not now." Evan glanced at him, "When Mia returns, she'll be in charge of continuing to monitor your movements." ”
"Trouble Miss Accountant, isn't it?"
"No one else. The Clemens siblings are still doing aftercare work at the villa. Evan clipped the file back under his armpit, "Or, I wouldn't mind if you slept in the SSA break room for a night." ”
"My sister will mind." Luo Wei solemnly refused.
Evan didn't speak, turned and left the interrogation room, and locked the door from the outside.
Lowe sighed and sat back in his chair.
"Tsk......"
He couldn't wait to get into the illusion. But on this occasion, it's hard to guarantee that nothing will go wrong.
"Can I see the real world in a fantasy......"
He looked up and looked around the room.
The world has not yet entered the electric age, and there is no camera monitoring of these.
The layout of the whole room is so simple that it is difficult to find the focus point of sight.
"Or else...... Want to give it a try? ”
"Just a moment! Two minutes, if it doesn't work, come out quickly. ”
Luo Wei was anxious, but on the surface, he pretended to be sleepy and lay on the table in the interrogation room.
He concentrated on it, and said silently:
"Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders."
