Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 12 Listen to me and say thank you
"But that woman is in Misty Village, Samantha, didn't I tell you?" Chris was at a loss.

The reward is a total of [-] pounds. Didn't Samantha go to Misty Village after learning the news last night?She's not in a hurry?
"I went last night," Samantha sighed. "I searched every alley in Misty Village, but I couldn't find that woman."

She seemed to have read through Chris's inner thoughts and said, "Even if you say that the woman is dead, I can't tell the client because there is lack of evidence."

evidence?

Isn't that emerald necklace proof?
"At that time I saw the woman holding an emerald necklace in her hand, the one she was wearing in the portrait!" Chris said hurriedly.

"No, it has nothing to do with the necklace. I checked and the necklace was designed by a jewelry designer named Hilbert Alucard."

"Do you know where this jewelry designer lives? He might also have some clues."

"He lives in Backlund, but he designed this necklace called 'Emerald Green' five years ago, and 'Emerald Green' is not a limited edition. Too many have been sold in the past few years. There’s no way to check it.”

"Where is the purchase record? It should be saved!"

Samantha glanced at Chris with disdain and explained to him angrily: "'Emerald Green' was a hot item that year. Tens of thousands of them were sold in Loen alone, not to mention exported to Indy." There are 10,000+ of them!”

She stopped at the intersection and hailed a taxi.

Samantha handed Chris 2 suler banknotes and said, "You can stay at any hotel tonight. Anyway, hotels in the Bridge District are cheap. Go to the steam station before 11:30 noon tomorrow. I'll wait under the statue of Emperor Russell." you."

She got on the carriage and said, "Let's go back to Tingen together tomorrow."

……

In a room of a cheap hotel in Qiao District
Chris took a deep breath to hold his breath, quickly opened the door and ran into the public washroom.

"Hey, hey——"

Chris retched and finished relieving himself, holding his nose and ran quickly back to the guest room, closed the door and leaned against the wall to breathe in the air.

I can't hold it in anymore, I can't hold it in anymore. I wonder if Klein has ever had the experience of entering Sefirah Castle in the public bathroom here. How did he hold it back...

Chris closed his eyes tightly and pinched the tiger's mouth, trying not to spit out. The stench in the bathroom was really intolerable to him, and the smell even spread to the corridor.

The room was cramped, with no windows. There were still cigarette butts from an unknown date on the floor, and a few cockroaches crawling around in the corners...

The environment here is much worse than that of a tequila bar, but it is cheaper, only 15p a night.

Chris locked the door, then sat cross-legged on the bed, stroking his wrists.

"The author of all living things, the controller of the trajectory of the universe, the supreme eternal existence..."

The scene changed, and when he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the Island of Stars.

It has been 24 hours since the last "things changed in the book"...

Chris thought to himself as he opened the "Lord of Mysteries" that was shining in front of him. This time, the pages of the book were also floating with a faint golden light.

Sure enough, the cooling time is 24 hours, let's see if there is anything good that can be changed...

Well, this chapter is about the "psychic" Daly giving Chris a psychic, and Daly just explained the formula of "Amanda" and "Spiritual Eye"...

Dragon bark, chamomile?

Isn't this just the auxiliary material for the magic potion formula of "The Secret Peeper" Sequence 9?

Chris calmed down and pressed his fingers on the "bark of dragon-marked trees and poplar trees."

After a burst of familiar light, two pieces of wrinkled bark appeared out of thin air. One had fine and scaly patterns, and the other was gray-white and smooth in appearance.

Well, the former should be dragon-marked bark.

Chris broke off a piece of dragon bark and put it in his trouser pocket, then put the rest on the ground.

He then caressed the "chamomile" mentioned above.The light changes, and a chamomile appears on the page.

Now the auxiliary material left is pure water, which is easier to obtain, namely distilled water. The two main materials that are difficult to obtain are "Damir Red Clay" and "Star Crystal".

Chris made sure that these two materials were not in the first 20 chapters.

Huh?In this Chapter 6, Alger Wilson said that he lacked 100 ml of ghost shark blood...

Chris counted on his fingers. He had already used the "book variable" twice and could use it again.

Thank you, Mr. "The Hanged Man"...

Chris smiled.

A dark red and black round "jelly" slowly appeared above the page, its surface covered by a layer of light golden film-like substance.

He didn't dare to pick it up with his hands for fear of damaging the surface membrane.

Chris thought for a while, picked up the piece of poplar bark, bent it, and used it as a container to gently take the "Ghost Shark Blood Jelly".

Then Chris held it in his left hand, picked up the chamomile in his right hand and put it in his breast pocket, giving the idea of ​​leaving Star Island.

The vortex appeared and disappeared, and in an instant Chris was back in the small room of the flophouse.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly poured the "jelly" into the empty water bottle on the bedside table.

This layer of golden film-like substance disappeared quickly, and the "jelly" was like the water in the space station suddenly returning to the earth. The equilibrium state caused by surface tension was instantly broken, and it turned into a puddle of liquid within one ten-thousandth of a second.

so close……

Chris patted his chest. If he had been slower just now, the 100 ml of "ghost shark's blood" would have been wasted.

Then he crushed the chamomile into powder and poured it into a tight small cloth bag, and then carefully placed the piece of dragon bark.

After doing all this, he got into bed with peace of mind.

Chris woke up at eight o'clock the next day. He checked out of the room with the necessary materials and prepared to go to the Brave Bar first.

He remembered that Old Neil once took Klein to the underground trading market in Tingen City, which was covered by a bar, so he believed that the Brave Bar in Backlund also had an underground trading market.

After checking out at the front desk, he opened the door and enjoyed the first ray of sunshine in the morning.It faces the river and the morning temperature is quite comfortable.

Chris walked slowly along the stone road, with the Tasok River on his right.

The Tasok River flows from the northwest to the southeast of Backlund, running through this grand city. The "Backlund Bridge" on the river connects the two parts of the city divided by the Tasok River, hence the name of the bridge area.

As the middle station of Backlund, the bridge area has a large flow of people, and the public security situation is naturally relatively bad. Most of the people living here are lower-class people. However, if Backlund has the worst public security, it must be the East District.

Through the thick water mist, he saw many people working by the river, men in thin shirts carrying goods, women borrowing the river water to wash clothes, and boatmen punting in the middle of the river.

There was a newsboy selling newspapers on the street corner. Chris bought a copy of the Backlund Post for 5 pence and sat on a bench to read it.

"Stormhouse"?
Isn't this a novel written by Forse Wall?

Chris saw Forsi's serialized novel on the fourth page. In this chapter, the heroine of the novel, "Ms. Sissi," has just entered the villa.

It seems that the series has just started, and it’s just the beginning.

Chris finished flipping through the newspaper and stood up to hail a cab to the Brave Bar.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.
