Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 179 Vinia

In the next five days, Chris acted without him, except for conjuring materials to make powder through Star Island, and reading newspapers to see what news there was.

The "Thingen Bank Robbery" remains unsolved, and the police are still looking for Robert Corrie, with a reward of 200 pounds.

The murder that occurred at Mrs. Sharon's residence in the East District has also identified a suspect - the three official Beyonders have all targeted the "instigator" Tris and have issued wanted warrants.

And Tris didn't know that he was wanted. He went to the Dragon Bar on July 7 to buy materials in the underground trading market, and was discovered by the informant arranged there by the punisher.

A fight ensued in the bar, and Tris fled the bar before the Punishers arrived, escaping the pursuit of the official Beyonders.

Afterwards, he took the magic potion that Mrs. Sharon left for him, was promoted to a "witch" and became a woman.

Gretna in the suburbs has already returned to normal under Chris' treatment. Dorn and Ponka were characterized as cultists and were affected by "some fatal and irreversible" effects in the "evil sacrificial ritual". Died during police interrogation.

Klein Moretti was not idle either. On July 7, the sealed artifact "12-2" arrived in Tingen. Dunn, Leonard, Klein and three Nighthawks from Backlund were looking for Riel. ·Bieber's location, during which he encountered a member of the Secret Order, the Tuxedo Clown of Sequence 049.

With the blessing of the Source Castle person, Klein used "2-049" to kill the secret order magician and successfully obtained the "Antigonus Notes".

At night, in the autopsy room, the tuxedo clown suddenly pretended to be a corpse and kept chanting "Honakis", and Klein already knew that the lost treasure of the Antigonus family was hidden there, and it was related to the "divineer" path.

Except for being a little frightened by the corpse suddenly sitting up, Klein didn't panic too much.

Where neither Chris nor Klein noticed, Lanervus and Hood Ogen performed an evil sacrificial ritual, making Megoose the carrier of the coming of the true Creator.

……

Chris put on a half-top hat, held a handbag, and walked off the train.

Vinya Station is a very small station with not many passengers and shabby facilities.

The steam trains traveling between Tingen and Backlund will pass through Vinia, and the Tasok River will also flow here after passing through the city of Tingen. However, Vinia has no well-known attractions. As a transfer station, in Roen There is no sense of existence.

A gray-haired station worker sat in a rocking chair, facing the afternoon sun, flipping through a newspaper in his hand.

When he noticed someone walking towards him, he stretched out his fingers to put his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and watched Chris approach step by step.

Chris stood in front of him and asked politely:

"Sir, are there any hotels nearby?"

"Exit the station and walk west along the road. After 100 meters, there is a hotel."

He scratched his forehead, ignored Chris, and continued to read the newspaper.

Chris curled his lips, thanked him, and walked towards the exit.

In the letter, Wilmot did not tell him the detailed address or time of the "party", but only asked him to wait in Vinia before night.

The area of ​​Vinia is not large, only about the same as the East Side.

But if the farmland and wasteland around the town are counted, the area will be huge, covering half of Tingen.

Chris looked at the town while walking. It was similar in style to Tingen, but the buildings on both sides of the street were very dilapidated, with peeling walls. They looked weathered, after all, they had been baptized by time.

There were not many pedestrians on the streets, many shops were closed, and the empty streets looked very clean.

Chris walked more than 100 meters and saw the hotel next to the street: "Brandy Hotel".

The sign was in tatters, the door was open a crack, and the windows were taped.

Sitting behind the front desk was a girl who looked young. She had red hair and a few freckles on her cheeks.

"Hello," Chris put his hand on the table and took out a few coins, "I'm staying here."

The girl looked up at Chris, glanced at the small pile of coins on the table, and said:
"personal I.D."

Chris was already prepared. He took out the forged identification card from his pocket and handed it over with a smile.

The girl took the ID card and glanced at it, then swept the coins into her palm, counted them, and said:

"One soli less." There are not many people staying at the "Brandy" Hotel. It may be because there are few people. The room is very clean. Although it is not spotless, it is still better than the environment of the cheap hotel in Backlund. I don’t know how many times better.

Chris put his bag on the bedside and just lay down on the bed to rest for a while when there was a knock on the door.

He sat up from the bed suddenly, quietly walked behind the door, and listened to the noise outside.

"Who?"

"Room service, sir."

A young-sounding voice.

Chris opened the door doubtfully, but before he could say anything, a knife was pressed against his neck.

A boy with brown hair covering his forehead looked up at Chris and chuckled.

He has brown pupils, a slightly dirty face, and a maturity that belies his age in his eyes.

Chris raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons:

"Put down the knife first and tell me if you have anything to say..."

The boy waved the knife, forcing Chris to take two steps back and sit down on the bed.

His weaknesses are fully exposed in front of Chris: the wrong posture of holding the knife, too weak strength, impulsive actions...

In any case, in Chris' eyes, this is just a boy who went astray.

But he did not take action to subdue it - the night was a gathering of the Moss Trappist Order, but he did not yet know the location, time and members. Now everyone he met might be a member of the Moss Trappist Order.

Maybe, this boy is one of them.

Chris's suspicion was soon confirmed - the boy curled his lips, leaned against the door frame, and said dissatisfied:

"Another 'Peeper'..."

"What is a 'Peeper'?"

Chris scratched his head and pretended to be confused.

"Hey, stop pretending," the boy turned the knife in his hand without raising his head, "Aren't everyone who comes to Vinia at this time coming for the party?"

"..."

Chris was silent for a second and said:

"Are you also an extraordinary person?"

"Sequence 9, 'Peeper'," the boy played with the knife and glanced up at Chris, "What about you? You must be a newcomer, right? I didn't see you at the last party."

Last time?Could it be that five years ago, this boy was an extraordinary person?Seeing that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, he is already an extraordinary person...

Could it be that he, like Samantha Gross, inherited extraordinary abilities from his parents?
Chris's inner doubts were interrupted by the boy's words. He walked in, closed the door behind his back, and said dissatisfiedly:
"I asked you something, didn't you hear it?"

Chris withdrew his thoughts and replied truthfully:

"This is my first time in Vinia, here for a party."

The boy nodded and then asked:

"It seems you are alone...where did you come from?"

"Tingen."

"Tingen?"

Hearing this place name, the boy became obviously interested.
