miscalculation

Chapter 23 Mobile Villa

……

Sure enough, Yang Guang, who was almost a "tour guide" for the sake of trapping, was leading Inspector Carter up the stairs on the second floor of Lingshu Pavilion.

Seeing Li Tui and Lu Zhimou coming to read ancient books, Carter remained polite and greeted them loudly from a distance. Yang Guang, who was beside him, looked slightly cold, and quickly returned to normal, nodding his head.

[This guy really doesn't want to see us after hugging a big Buddha. This year's newcomers have their own schemes. Now Qian Xiaoyu plans to leave the team completely. Yang Guang is not honest and wants to act alone. Where does such ample self-confidence come from? 】

Li Tui and Lu Zhimou followed up to the second floor. The layout of the upstairs and downstairs was roughly the same, except that the books on the upper floor were older, and some of the books were covered with dust because no one had opened them for a long time.

Yang Guang led Detective Carter through the bookshelves, as if looking for books.The books here are more reasonable than those downstairs. Many of the books on the shelves have one-character titles, some have two-character titles, and so on.

Carter, on the other hand, went straight to the bookshelf with four-character titles.

"Mr. Carter, what kind of books are you looking for? Do you need help?" Lu Zhimou asked politely.

"Hey, I know it should be written into a book, but I still don't give up." Carter just buried himself in the book, and answered casually.

"What four words make you care so much?" Li Tui interjected at the right time.

Carter withdrew his hands abruptly, straightened his waist, looked serious, as if he was reading a sacred word, and said mysteriously: "Elegy of the soul!"

Ding!

Suddenly, the eternal mechanical voice of the main god came out of his mind:

The second stage of the mission (Carter branch): Assist the detective Carter of the Magic Detective Bureau in investigating "Elegy of the Soul".Task time limit: until Carter's death.Failure condition: None.Task rewards: According to the progress of the investigation, different levels of survival point rewards will be obtained.Additional rewards for completing the survey with full progress: 5000 survival points, and experience with a b-level side mission once.

This string of information floods the brain almost instantly, and there is no need to read it carefully.Lu Zhimou looked shocked, Li Tui rarely showed an excited smile, but Yang Guang didn't respond at all. The tour guide seemed to have obtained information about "Elegy of the Soul" before and received this task in advance.

[Carter branch?In this way, my previous analysis is completely correct. We can also stand in the position of Murphys and accept the "Murphys branch" of the second phase of the mission.However, the rewards for this mission seem ridiculously high. Once you complete all the investigations on the Elegy of the Soul, you will be rewarded with [-] points. [-] points seem to be able to exchange for many things. lineage.However, I didn't have the slightest confidence. 】

When Carter slipped his mouth, Li Tuo could hold his breath, but Lu Zhimou couldn't hold it anymore. He is someone who has seen big winds and waves, and knows the precious experience of this B-level side mission.He was eager for success, and quickly asked: "The Elegy of the Soul? What is that? It sounds very mysterious."

So a lengthy task introduction in disguise began, and even Yang Guang, who had already heard it once, listened attentively, for fear of missing any details.

"To be honest, I came to Misty Villa this time for two purposes. One of them is to try my hand at this 'Elegy of the Soul' and set foot in the Misty Villa, which is known as the second most dangerous place in the mainland." Carter Pacing in place, speaking slowly: "Actually, travelers from other worlds may not know that this Misty Villa is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. Legend has it that this is a manor cursed by demons but guarded , Whether you are a mortal without the power to restrain a chicken, or a sage who overwhelms mountains and seas, whether you can break through the fog and enter this mountain villa can only rely on one word-destiny."

[The Elegy of the Soul has one purpose, and he has another purpose for entering Misty Villa, I wonder if he will reveal it later. 】

"This misty mountain villa is opened to the public every once in a while. It has a controversial and special existence value in the Ferencar continent. And the "Elegy of the Soul" is a legendary magic that has struggled for 300 years and failed to complete. Clan Summoning Ceremony. According to the divination of the temple fortuneteller Senior Canberra, the ceremony will officially open in four days. If it is not disintegrated, this dark ceremony will be completed within one month. It is said that the history of the Holy See assisting the leadership will be ended, and the dark forces of various countries and ethnic groups will surge undercurrents, and the 300-year-long stability of the mainland may be shattered!"

Lu Zhimou frowned thickly: "Mr. Carter, if I understand correctly, this Misty Villa is the opening location of the Elegy of Souls, but the fortuneteller in your temple only measured the opening time of the Elegy of Souls, it seems that they don't know the exact time. The location, I don’t agree that the shitty fate that pays attention to when entering the Misty Villa will cause fire.”

Carter let out a silly laugh and said, "Above the temple, there are a group of elders of the church who took 150 years to temper three soul-seeking stones, only to perform the 'Elegy of the Soul' to summon the ancestors to suppress the demons. Whatever' The momentum caused by "Elegy of the Soul" will be detected by the soul-seeking stone. In the history of many battles between gods and demons, when the demons retreated and retreated, it was the soul-seeking stone that made great contributions and wiped out the enemy. But after many years, the "soul of the soul" The Elegy' ceremony was revived, this time the detected location is exactly here, I trekked along the way, did not expect to get home by fate, and stepped into the Misty Mountain Villa."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in Lingshu Pavilion suddenly became weird. Lu Zhimou fell into deep thought, and soon calmed down. The first thing he did after regaining his senses was to imitate what Carter did before. ——Frantically looking for books related to Dirge of the Soul.

Li Tui never expected that the main god arranged for Carter, a mission role, to enter the villa with such a complicated mission background.

Carter himself looked embarrassed, and he explained while flipping through the book: "In order to prevent this catastrophe, the Temple issued the church's last 'Soul-seeking Stone' to our Magic Detective Bureau, and awarded it to a qualified saint to travel around the world. , always investigate the movement of the 'Elegy of the Soul'. But this important task has fallen on me, a qualified person, by accident. Do you think I am under a lot of pressure?"

[Our pressure is no lower than yours!This damn soul elegy, I have no clue at all. I have been staying in the villa for a day now, and I haven’t found any clues to prepare for the summoning ceremony. Even... eh, wait, could it be that the black hand who assassinated Li Sicheng was the preparation of the soul? The person who said the elegy, he wants to kill people?Did Li Sicheng accidentally see something?Did it lead to a fatal disaster? 】
