Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 84 Meeting with Sherlock
Dak was Derrick's classmate during his liberal arts education and later a teammate on the patrol team.

But after returning from exploring the half-ruined temple of the "Fallen Creator", Dark lost his previous enthusiasm and cheerfulness. He became very deep and just smiled at everyone.

Derrick was a little puzzled: Why did he come to me suddenly?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: Elder Lovia knew that I suspected that something strange had happened to them, so Dak came to test me?
Then Derrick thought again, this is a good opportunity to clear suspicion!

After feeling a little excited, Derrick became a little nervous. After all, this was the first time he implemented his plan, and he didn't know if it would succeed.

Derrick took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then quickly walked to the door and opened it.

The person who came into view was a slightly plump young man with a bright smile: "Has your quarantine been lifted?"

As he spoke, he moved aside to let Dak in, but he didn't dare expose his back to this classmate and teammate.

"Yes." Dak walked to the table and sat down. "Didn't you say before that you wanted to know about our exploration experience?"

Derrick hummed, and suddenly he wasn't so eager to know.

Dak raised his lip corners and said, "We found some peculiar plants at the bottom of the temple. They look like the mushrooms mentioned in the general education class. They are very bright and make people very hungry at first sight.

"It has been confirmed that they can be eaten directly."

As he spoke, he took out a bright red mushroom from a small cloth bag.

Just seeing it made Derrick swallow his saliva, as if he had been hungry for several days.

Dak said enthusiastically, "Here's one for you."

“Okay, okay…” Derrick reached out and took it, trying his best to restrain himself from putting it in his mouth.

He tried to control himself: "I'll try it tomorrow."

At the same time, he warned himself in his heart that he couldn't eat it! If he ate it, he might be contaminated by the "Fallen Creator"!
Derrick struggled to change the subject: "Did you discover anything during this exploration?"

"Yes!" Dak said immediately: "We found some murals..."

Derrick felt himself drifting off, as if he couldn't help but pick up the mushroom and eat it. He realized that he had to do something to escape his current situation.

Thinking of this, he regained some of his sanity, reviewed his previous plan, and then said to Dak: "I'll pour you a glass of water."

Dak said nothing, just nodded.

Derrick stood up and deliberately slowed down his movements while pouring water. He lowered his head and recited Mr. Fool's honorific name: "A Fool who does not belong to this era...

“Your faithful servant requests your gaze;
“I beg you to accept his offering;

“Please open the gates of your kingdom.”

A strong wind suddenly blew in the room. Dak looked at Derrick suddenly and asked, "What happened?"

Derrick didn't answer. He picked up the Hurricane Axe with one hand and reached into his pocket with the other, removing the Spiritual Wall of the All-Black Eye.

Faint mumbling and a sense of evil and depravity began to spread outward. Dark's expression suddenly became gloomy, and the thin blood vessels in his blue eyes bulged out.

At this time, the bright mushrooms on the table no longer gave people a strong appetite, and suddenly turned into a bloody scalp with short black hair.

Derrick thought about how he had almost swallowed the "mushroom" just now, and suddenly felt the urge to vomit. He suppressed the churning in his stomach and sang, "God, please send your holy light here, so that your believers can gain courage, drive away the enemies, and dispel all evil."

The song exuded warmth and holiness, bathing Derrick in sunshine, and the discomfort in his body immediately disappeared.

Dark shielded his eyes from the sun with his hands, staring at the location of the "All-Black Eye" and asking repeatedly: "What is on you? What is on you..."

Suddenly, Dak's flesh and blood were stretched out, and strips of flesh were waving, making Dak look like a bloody hedgehog.

Derrick raised his arm and swung the Hurricane Axe he had been holding in his hand, striking Dark on the head.

Dark was still staring at the location of the "All-Black Eye", screaming, but his eyes were unwilling to move away.

At this time, the Fool responded and opened an illusory door with many strange patterns.

A shadow in the room suddenly stretched out and shouted at Derrick, "Stop! What are you doing?"

He felt the power of the illusory door, but he could not stop anything.

Derrick took this opportunity to throw the "Eye of Blackness" towards the illusory gate. As the "Eye of Blackness" disappeared, the gate covered with strange symbols and signs closed with a "bang" and quickly disappeared.

Then, Derrick began his performance, deliberately contorting his facial muscles and coughing violently. He coughed so hard that he covered his mouth with his hands and fell to the ground.

The shadow in the room quickly controlled Dark, who had transformed into a monster, and then tried to cover Derrick. At this moment, Derrick fainted, and a strange little bug with twelve transparent rings appeared in the palm of his hand.

Klein nodded slowly above the gray fog, giving "Little Sun" a high score for his performance. It seemed that most of the suspicion on him could be cleared.

Thinking of this, Klein withdrew his gaze.

……

Backlund, 51 Henry Street, in the backyard of Garl's Herbal Medicine Shop.

Odysseus returned to the real world. He sat quietly for a while, using his spiritual perception to observe the place without any sight. Then he took out the portable space array and took out the gloves and extraordinary characteristics seized in the Battle of Kapin from the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

He touched the black glove with his hand and injected spirituality into it, allowing him to immediately feel the layers of the glove.

As they divided the spoils, his spiritual perception was indeed quite accurate. This glove was actually at the Sequence 5 level, but Odysseus's level was too low to determine its capabilities and negative effects. Since the glove couldn't be used in Backlund at this point, after roughly determining its level, he put it back.

As for that extraordinary characteristic, it is a Sequence 7 level "Interrogator" characteristic.

I don’t dare to use this feature at the moment, so I’ll put it aside for now.

After collecting the spoils, Odysseus smiled slightly and thought to himself: I actually got the upper hand over the "fool".

Just that Sequence 5 glove alone was worth more than the three Beyonder attributes the Fool had taken.

Buzz buzz~
A splitting noise suddenly appeared in Odysseus's mind, making him feel dizzy, and he quickly reached out to hold on to the table.

Fortunately, this uncomfortable feeling passed in a second or two, and the dizziness quickly disappeared. It seemed that there were some messy, strange, and incomprehensible things in my mind!

Knowledge chases people!

For the first time, Odysseus felt the pain brought by "Knowledge Expelling People". No wonder "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya was almost out of control. She was so uncomfortable at Sequence 8. If she was Sequence 5, wouldn't her head explode?

But now is not the time to think about this. Odysseus is still very busy this afternoon. He went to the basement, put on Mr. Gal's clothes, and then passed through the "teleportation array" in the basement to the third floor of the "Nanmu Ballroom".

Ms. Mandy had already been waiting outside. When she saw Odysseus wearing a mask, she immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gal. It was my negligence at work that prevented me from..."

Odysseus raised his hand and interrupted her: "Is the carriage ready?"

"Ready!" Mandy said immediately.

Odysseus said nothing more and hurried downstairs, and Mandy followed immediately.

After getting on the luxurious carriage, Mandy asked, "Mr. Gall, where are we going?"

Odysseus said, "No. 15 Minsk Street, Cherwood District."

Regardless of whether Klein knew that Mr. Gar was the Hermit, going directly to him would definitely catch him off guard and was the best response strategy at the moment.

Mandy's eyes narrowed. She hadn't had time to report the private detective's address to Mr. Gall, but Mr. Gall already knew it!
But then Mandy returned to normal. As she had expected before, Mr. Gall could not have only had her as his intelligence channel.

……

Chorwood District, Minsk Street 15.

Klein first watched Little Sun clear himself of suspicion before returning to the real world to continue studying the Book of Secrets.

Ding ding ding ding~
Around 4:30, Klein suddenly heard the doorbell.

He quickly walked to the first floor, and the moment he grasped the door handle, the scene outside the door appeared in his mind.

Outside the door was a young man wearing a mask and a black windbreaker...

Mr. Gal!

Klein couldn't help but take a step back. He had been searching for Mr. Gar for two days without any clues, and yet, he just appeared outside the door.

At this time, Mr. Garr outside said: "I know you are in there, open the door."

Klein's mind suddenly echoed with the same brainwashing rhythm: ...Don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you're home. Open the door, open the door, open the door. If you have the guts...

cough cough.

Klein cleared his throat and opened the door. Besides Mr. Gall, there was also Ms. Mandy.

"Mr. Garr." Klein smiled and pretended to be surprised. "Why are you here?"

Odysseus said, "Shall we go in and talk?"

"Please come in." Klein asked them to sit on the sofa in the living room and then went to make tea for them.

As soon as Odysseus sat down, he smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Detective, how was the cigar I gave you last time?"

Klein smiled helplessly. He had previously accepted a commission from reporter Mike to protect the Daily Observer reporter during his negotiation with Mr. Gal. However, Mr. Gal had taken the opportunity to give him a cigar and hit him.

Mr. Gal's mention of this matter at this time was obviously quite meaningful.

Klein added hot water and walked towards the coffee table with the cup. "It's okay. It tastes good."

Odysseus nodded slowly and said, "Let's get down to business. About last year, Asibourne came to the Nanmu Ballroom for the first time and was quickly attracted by the ballroom's business model and profitability.

"We had two pleasant exchanges afterwards. He hoped to use the police and a certain councillor to put pressure on me to close the Nanmu Dance Hall and then buy it at a low price.

"As a result, I disrupted both operations, and he has been looking for my whereabouts since then.

"I think he must want to come to visit and apologize for his two previous asshole behaviors.

"But I can't stand seeing people apologize, and of course for his safety, I didn't tell him where I lived."

Klein twitched his lips. "A pleasant exchange!" The irony was too obvious! It was true that the lord's life was in jeopardy.
