Chapter 64 Beak Mask

I want to have a number around ten in metaphysics, but if the ten digit jumps up to 1, it is a big failure!

But luckily no big failure.

[Walking on the way back from the crime scene, Hals was still thinking about the traces of the crime scene, and didn't pay attention to his surroundings. 】

Lines of meaningless text emerged, but where his name should have been written on the page, it was written as "Hals".

Yago was slightly surprised.

Again!

Yago, who was still worried, deliberately slipped his hand when stuffing the coin into his pocket, and the coin slipped down again.

The Gambler's Fallacy!

This time, Yago didn't pick it up.

[Detection check = 42]

[Detection check = 28/25]

fail.

That haunting sense of using the gambler's fallacy intensified again.

If it is a running group, using skills twice in a row can only be "all in one basket". This failure is equal to the risk of a big failure, but there is no such thing.

There are also no CD intervals that cannot be used continuously.

[Detection check = 67]

[Detection check = 47/25]

fail.

The strange feeling swelled up again.

Unlike in the "real" world, this feeling is somehow clearer.

Come again!

After being rejected by Dice Niang three times, she couldn't help Yago's fiery pursuit, and finally succeeded in dating——

[Detection check = 34]

[Detection check = 4/25]

When the strange feeling had already swelled to the point where it seemed to be palpable, the investigation was successful.

Unfortunately, it was almost a big success.

Yago "looked" at the page:

[Hals stopped in his tracks. He felt as if he heard something. Looking towards the source of the sound, he suddenly found that above the gas street lamp, there was a clockwork machine with the appearance of a robin. The body of the mechanical bird was old. The brass gears on his back are turning, and the clockwork on his back is also turning counterclockwise regularly]

"Looking" at this description without any sense of beauty, Yago's heart trembled.

From a third-person perspective, Yago turned his sights and looked at the surrounding street lights. As expected, above the lamp post at the left rear, on a dimly lit lamp post, a brass-colored mechanical bird was parked on it .

A bird-shaped machine composed of large and small gears and various crude metal parts.

Moreover, the "eyes" made of gears are rotating, giving Yago a feeling that it is looking at him.

Sure enough, surveillance? However, a clockwork mechanism?

Although Arabella is a very steampunk country, is it possible to use clockwork machinery to monitor people and bring such black technology as surveillance cameras?

However, this is just slander.

There is no such thing as "impossible" in the fantasy world.

It's not impossible to pull out a crystal ball and observe someone's magical setup from the other side of the world.

if put into this world

From the memory of "Diago Clauredo Fast", he has never heard of such a "magic" machine.

Hals doesn't recall any wind-up toys or handicrafts with this "wonderful" function.

Yes, in Hals' memory, this kind of clockwork mechanism is a delicate or rough handicraft, at most it can be used as a toy, it is impossible to act like a living thing, and that kind of mechanical wings can't fly to street lights superior.

Except for the street lamp, there are no bird-shaped decorations.

Based on the above, the mystery?

Or was it controlled by the Extraordinary?

Like the controlled corpse in the Diroud?

It is not hard to imagine being able to control the actions of so many corpses, and then control a few clockwork machines.

Yago would never ignore the smile on the corpse's face just now.

When Yago read the fairy tale book "Crow Song", there was no mention of the age in the story, and no detailed age was written in the background, but in Hals' memory, the time was an overhead "24760" year.

According to Diego's memory, the furthest history recorded in the history of the "real" world is five or six thousand years ago, with the "War of Faith" of the major churches as the event that reminded him of the Crusades. Demarcation point.

The "Epic Age" preceded the War of Faith, and the year when the War of Faith began was regarded as the first year of the public calendar. Do we have to give it a name after the Christian era?

Although it is impossible to determine the prototype of the age, since it is a story, there must be a prototype.

So, the imitator of the case at the Diroud Theater?

Or.

"The ability of the same sequence?"

But no matter what, he has to be careful.

Hope Ash doesn't come back so soon

However, what to say.

When he pretended not to notice anything and walked forward, a black figure appeared in his field of vision.

Although it was dark and he hadn't turned on his spirit vision, he couldn't see what was flying at all, but the secret connection made Yago immediately realize that the black shadow was his pet.

Don't come here! ! !

Yago really wanted to yell like this, but, obviously, his heartfelt voice was not conveyed to the other party.

The black shadow rode directly onto his face, and with a snap, something covered his face with a sticky touch.

The strong smell of blood made him immediately realize what the liquid on his face was. Subconsciously, he reached out and wanted to tear the thing off his face.

Very smoothly, he tore off the thing covering his face.

While looking at the things in his hands, Yago pulled up his coat and used the corner of the coat as a rag to wipe off the blood on his face.

a mask.

To be precise, a beak mask.

Some sense of disobedience.

It’s not that the appearance of the beak mask is inconsistent. In various steampunk themes, the beak mask is a very common item. Yago is not unfamiliar with it. It is even more so when it appears in the background of Arabella, a typical steampunk country. There is no sense of incongruity.

What is offending is the beak mask itself.

It's obviously not a living thing, but it gives him a feeling that "this mask is dead".

However, now is not the time to think about this, the third person's perspective quickly turned to the top of the lamp post just now, and the clockwork bird has disappeared.

Oh no!

You must have seen this, right?

I have to leave quickly and bring Ash with me.

However, there was no gray figure in his field of vision.

Where are you going! ?

Holding doubts, Yago looked around anxiously.

He entered this world with consciousness, and he didn't really die when he died, but Hui is different, and Yago can be sure that it entered with his real body.

There is an inconspicuous "7"-shaped black spot on their left paw near the leg.

According to Elsa, the death of the real body in the book world is really dead.

"Hugein!!!"

In desperation, Yago shouted in Cartesian.

Hugein is the pronunciation of "gray fog" in Cartesian, and it is also its name in this sense.

After hesitating for two seconds, Yago gritted his teeth and turned around in the hope that no one would pay attention to Hugein.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a soft sound behind him.

Two black shadows descended from the sky and landed behind him.
