Start with the Readers Chapter 1: Advent

Published:

The Kingdom of Loen, the capital of all capitals, Backlund.

The city is divided into two parts obliquely by the Tussock River, which flows to the southeast estuary, and is connected by the Backlund Bridge and the ferry. It has a population of over five million and is one of the most prosperous cities on the continent. . No, there might not even be a ‘one’!

At this time, in a dark alley in the bridge area of ​​this metropolis, a young man was crouching in the darkness of a corner. in great pain.

Liu Bo endured the lingering ‘buzzing’ sound in his head, opened his eyes with difficulty, and then saw the bridge body across the Tussock River directly above, and the night at a higher place, A crimson full moon!

Crimson Moon… Loen Kingdom… Backlund…

Scenes of messy memories quickly flashed across Liu Bo’s mind. After a while, he felt that his body seemed to have regained some strength, so he stood up while leaning on the wall.

He looked down at the palm that obviously did not belong to him, and said with a wry smile:

“I’ve traveled through time… Loen Kingdom, Backlund? Heh, I heard this familiar name, and I’m still wearing the “Lord of the Mysteries” with the size of a squid? This is really not a good place to look forward to.” Ah!”

Liu Bo was originally a lecturer of elective courses in a third-rate university. He has been working for three years and still can’t make it up. Recently, he has been wondering whether to change jobs. In the world of his favorite online literature “Lord of the Mysteries”!

“My current body is called Abner Bryan. I just turned 18 and was still studying in public school. Because I was in a trance, I accidentally fell off the Backlund Bridge. That’s how I came to be. As for the reason for the trance, it seems to be a great change in the family… Wait, it seems wrong!”

Liu Bo, who was remembering the memory of the original owner of his body, suddenly changed his face, quickly put his hand into his pocket, and took out a thumb-sized blue gemstone with sharp edges and corners.

Reflecting this shining gemstone under the red moon in his eyes, a picture flashed in Liu Bo’s mind: a middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood wearing only underwear, obviously almost everything All his belongings were looted, but this gem was lying quietly on his chest alone! And Abner, who happened to pass by this remote corner, became greedy for a moment, picked up the gem, and left quickly.

“This…this gem is not the Extraordinary characteristic precipitated after the death of the Extraordinary, is it? So the death of the original owner involved an extraordinary event? No, maybe it was just the erosion of the Extraordinary characteristic that killed him!”

Remembering that Abner had carried this gem close to his body for nearly a week, Liu Bo’s eyes twitched. He took out an iron cigarette case from a trouser pocket, threw away the only two cigarettes left in the case, and carefully put the blue gem into it.

After finishing all this, Liu Bocai breathed a sigh of relief, then he put away the cigarette case, identified the direction according to his memory, and then rushed towards the temporary rented residence in the East District. After all, the bridge area is not a safe area, the population is very complicated, and there are many homeless people at night. In terms of security, it may not be as good as the relatively good areas in the east area.

On the way, Liu Bo was worried all the time, because he hadn’t fully received the original owner’s memory, and the other party had been in a daze these days, so he didn’t know the exact date after the time travel, and was afraid of meeting “The Lord of Mysteries” Those killers, demons and cultists in the original book.

Fortunately, his worries were unfounded. Apart from seeing some homeless people who looked like walking corpses along the way, there were no other accidents. He returned to the one-bedroom house he rented on Black Palm Street in the East District very smoothly.

This house is small in size, and the rent is 4 soli a week, so the furniture is also very simple, only a bed, a chair, a bedside table, and a half-length mirror hanging on the wall. Thanks to Emperor Roselle, his improvements in craftsmanship have reduced the cost of glass manufacturing too much, otherwise, there might not even be this mirror.

Lighting the candle on the bedside table casually, Liu Bo was dazed for a while, to relieve his dizzy brain since time travel, and then he took out the sapphire from the cigarette case again, and after examining it carefully, he couldn’t help feeling complacent. Yudao: “I don’t know which path this is, the extraordinary characteristics of the sequence number, and whether it has any sequelae to the erosion of my current body…”

He just said this, and suddenly found that his concentration and logical analysis ability suddenly increased, and his brain seemed to become a high-speed computer, with streams of data being calculated and called in it! In just a few seconds, severe pain flooded his brain, and Liu Bo let out a scream and fell to the ground.

Before he passed out, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of himself reflected in the half-length mirror. It was a young man with brown curly hair, but his eyes were completely white at this moment, as if he had lost his pupils!

At the same time, at the base of the Holy Wind Cathedral in the Jowood District, a member of the Punisher Squad is reporting to the captain:

“Captain, old Rhett found An Rui’s body in a garbage dump in the bridge area. He was obviously not in a good state after being randomly sent by the evildoer’s sealed item during the battle in the suburbs last week. In the end, someone took the opportunity to kill…”

The captain of the Punisher showed obvious anger on his face, and interrupted: “Are you psychic? Do you know who did it?”

The team member sighed sadly, and said: “It was too late for us to find An Rui’s body, and he was thrown into the garbage dump by a few homeless people. There are not many remaining spirits, and the psychic is not very good. However, our ‘Wisdom Keeper’ speculates based on clues that he should have met a gang member in the East District under serious injury and was robbed and killed.”

“How dare those maggots in the sewer?! Hmph, since it was a robbery, they should have taken away An Rui’s belongings and Extraordinary characteristics. Follow this clue and make sure you find the garbage that harmed An Rui! “The captain stood up and slapped the table heavily, then sat back down as if discouraged, and continued, “You and old Rhett should also rest for a long time before going to investigate…It is almost dawn, since we have definite results , I’m going to face An Rui’s family…”

“Captain…”

………

After Liu Bo woke up again, he did not show any confusion. Instead, he calmly took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time. The one with the golden finger is just a golden finger that can be used for three or four seconds, and the forced coma cooldown is six hours… Maybe this thing is not gold-plated, right?”

Then he looked at the half-length mirror again, his eyes in the mirror had returned to light blue, but he did not forget the pure white pupils he saw before he passed out, and he couldn’t help laughing at himself: “What is this? Is it the white eyes in Hokage? In terms of insight alone, it is almost the same, but the maintenance time is too short! Well, according to the painting style of this world, it is simply called ‘pure white pupil’.”

Self-deprecating is self-deprecating, but Liu Bo understands that the benefit of the traveler named “Pure White Pupil” by himself is actually quite powerful, because he has already obtained a huge amount of benefits in just a few seconds before. benefit. At the moment, he also subconsciously took out a pen and paper to summarize these benefits in Chinese.

“The first ability of this pure white pupil is to enhance my memory and memory processing ability! In just a few seconds, I not only digested all the memories of the original owner Abner, even before I crossed The knowledge I have learned and the books I have read are also clear! These are all wealth, not to mention anything else, the potion formulas and ritual spells involved in the novel “Lord of the Mysteries” alone are priceless. I used to Although I like this novel very much and have read it many times, it is impossible to memorize the potion formula on purpose. Now the pure white pupil can directly revive my memories, which is really great! However, after exiting the pure white pupil state, These memories will gradually become distorted, and they must be reviewed quickly to be truly remembered. Well, it seems that the knowledge involving demigods is forgotten especially quickly, and the knowledge about the outer gods is even less remembered.”

“The second ability is to enhance logic and insight. It allows me to discover many details in the state of pure white pupils, and multi-threaded thinking about the internal logic and connections of these details. It is planning and strategy. Excellent auxiliary skills. I didn’t have any confusion after waking up, because I thought about all the situations clearly in the few seconds before I fell into a coma.”

“The third ability I think is the core ability of Pure White Eyes, that is, the analysis ability! It is an ability that can only operate on the basis of the knowledge in my memory and the specific phenomena I have observed~Soverse.com ~That is to say, the above two abilities are actually the prerequisites for this ability! And this ability is extremely powerful. In those few seconds, I just glanced at that Beyonder characteristic, and looked at myself through the mirror, and I had already analyzed it. A lot has happened!”

Liu Bo changed a piece of paper and recorded the analysis results: “First, this Extraordinary characteristic belongs to the ‘Reader’ sequence, which is the ‘Deduction Student’ of Sequence 8; secondly, my body has indeed been polluted by the Extraordinary characteristic, but Because of the suppression of the personality of the pure white eye after I crossed, these pollutions have been integrated into my body and spirit, and my spirituality and mental body have been slightly improved. This kind of promotion is not like the pure white eye. The post-temporary state, but like the second generation of low-to-medium sequence Extraordinary who are born with a little bit of Extraordinary characteristics…”

Writing this, Liu Bo couldn’t help but smiled wryly, and thought: “This means that I can’t take other sequences, I can only try to be promoted to ‘reader’, and the superhumans of this sequence are the same in the early stage. Improving memory, insight, logic, and analytical ability is a standard configuration with my pure white pupil, and it is bound to continuously enhance the ability of this golden finger… Is this really just a coincidence?”

“Forget it, anyway, I have no choice now, if I don’t really become a ‘reader’, even if there is a pure white eye to suppress it, those integrated characteristics are a great hidden danger, and if something goes wrong, it will get out of control …” Thinking of this, Liu Bo continued to write on the paper with the analysis results:

“Reader Sequence Nine

Main material: Pupil of Galore fish

This is the true power of the pure white eye’s analysis ability, which surpasses the five-level analysis ability of the reader’s pathway sequence!
