章 1: Arrival
Arrival
Loen Kingdom, Capital of Capitals, Backlund.
The city was split into two parts by the Tussock River that flowed southeast into the estuary. It was connected by the Backlund Bridge and the ferry. It had a population of more than five million people, and it was one of the most prosperous cities on the continent. No, there might not even be one!
At that moment, in a dark alley in the Metropolitan Bridge area, a young man was crouching in the darkness in the corner. There were no external injuries on his body, but his expression was extremely twisted, as though he was enduring immense pain.
Liu Bo held back the buzzing sound in his mind and opened his eyes with difficulty. Then, he saw the bridge spanning the Tussock River and a crimson full moon in the night sky!
The crimson moon… Loen Kingdom… Backlund…
Scenes of chaotic memories flashed through Liu Bo's mind. After a long while, he felt that his body seemed to have regained some strength, so he held onto the wall and stood up.
He looked down at his palm that clearly didn't belong to him and smiled bitterly to himself.
I've transmigrated… The Loen Kingdom, Backlund? Heh, hearing this familiar name, and I'm getting into Lord of the Mysteries? This really isn't a good place to look forward to!
Liu Bo was originally an elective course lecturer in a third-rate university. After working for three years, he had not gone up or down yet. Recently, he had been wondering if he should change jobs. Who knew that he would wake up and transmigrate, and even transmigrate to the world of his favorite online literature work, Lord of the Mysteries!
"My current body is called Ebner Bryan. I just turned 18, and I'm still studying in public school. Due to my trance, I accidentally fell off the Backlund Bridge, which resulted in my transmigration. As for the reason for my trance, it seems to be a family upheaval… Wait, something doesn't seem right!"
Liu Bo, who was recalling the memories of the original owner of his body, suddenly changed his expression. He quickly reached into his pocket and took out a thumb-sized blue gemstone.
As his eyes reflected the gem that was glistening under the crimson moon, an image flashed in Liu Bo's mind: A middle-aged man with only his underwear lying in a pool of blood. Almost all of his belongings had been looted, but this gem was lying quietly on his chest! Liu Bo, who happened to pass by this remote corner, became greedy and picked up the gem before quickly leaving.
"This… Could this gem be a Beyonder characteristic produced after a Beyonder dies? So the death of the original Ebner involved Beyonder events? No, perhaps just the erosion of a Beyonder characteristic was enough to kill him!"
The corners of Liu Bo's eyes twitched when he recalled how Ebner had carried the gem with him for nearly a week. As he mourned for his ignorance, he hurriedly followed Klein's instructions in the Lord of the Mysteries and took out an iron cigarette case from his pocket. He threw away the two remaining cigarettes in the case and carefully placed the blue gem inside.
After doing all this, Liu Bo heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he put away his cigarette case and used his memory to determine the direction before rushing to the temporary residence he had rented in East Borough. After all, the bridge area was not a safe area. The staff was very complicated, and there were many homeless people at night. In terms of security, it might not be as good as the relatively better areas in East Borough.
Along the way, Liu Bo had been on tenterhooks because he hadn't completely received the original owner's memories. In addition, the other party had been living a muddle-headed life these days, so he didn't know the exact date after transmigration. He was afraid that he would encounter the killers, demons, and cultists in the original copy of the Lord of the Mysteries.
Thankfully, his worries were unfounded. Apart from seeing some homeless people who were walking around like zombies, there were no other accidents. He successfully returned to the one-bedroom apartment he rented on Black Palm Street in East Borough.
The house wasn't large, and the rent was four soli a week, so the furniture was very simple. There was only a bed, a chair, a bedside table, and a half mirror hanging on the wall. Thank you, Emperor Roselle. His improvements in the craft had reduced the cost of making glass. Otherwise, there probably wouldn't even be this mirror.
Liu Bo casually lit the candle on the bedside table, and he fell into a daze for a while. He tried to calm his dizzy mind after transmigrating. Only then did he take out the sapphire from the cigarette case. After carefully examining it, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I wonder which pathway and Sequence Beyonder characteristic this is. Does it have any repercussions from the corrosion of my current body…"
Just as he said that he suddenly realized that his focus and logical analysis abilities had suddenly increased. His brain seemed to have become a high-speed computer, and streams of data were being used! In just a few seconds, intense pain filled his entire brain. Liu Bo screamed and fell to the ground.
Before he fainted, he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror. It was a young man with curly brown hair. His eyes were completely white, as though he had lost his pupils!
…
At the same time, under the Holy Wind Cathedral in Cherwood Borough, a member of the Mandated Punishers was reporting to the captain:
"Captain, Old Reed found An Rui's corpse in a trash heap in the bridge area. During the battle in the suburbs last week, after he was randomly teleported by the Sealed Artifact of the heretics, he clearly wasn't in a good state. In the end, he was killed…"
The Mandated Punisher captain's face showed obvious anger as he interrupted, "Do you know who did it?"
The team member sighed sadly and said, "We found An Rui's body too late, and he was thrown into the trash by a few tramps. There weren't many spirits left, and the psychic connection didn't have a good result. However, according to the clues, our Knowledge Keeper speculated that he must have encountered a gang member of East Borough when he was seriously injured and was robbed and killed."
"How dare those maggots in the sewers?! Hmph, since it's a robbery, they should have taken away An Rui's belongings and Beyonder characteristics. Follow this clue and investigate. You must find the trash that harmed An Rui!" The captain stood up and slammed the table heavily. Then, he sat back down dejectedly and continued, "You and Old Reed should rest for half a day before investigating… It's almost dawn. Since there's a definite outcome, I'll have to face An Rui's family…"
"Captain…"
…
When Liu Bo woke up again, he did not look confused. Instead, he calmly took out a pocket watch from his chest pocket and looked at the time. He pondered and said, "I was unconscious for nearly six hours… It seems that I have a gold finger when I transmigrated. It's just a gold finger that uses three to four seconds to force a coma to cool down for six hours… This thing is probably not gilded, right?"
Then he looked at the mirror again. In the mirror, his eyes had already returned to light blue color, but he did not forget the pure white pupil he saw before he fainted. He could not help but laugh at himself, "What is this? White-eyes in Naruto? In terms of insight alone, it's about the same, but the time it can last is too short! Well, according to the style of this world, I might as well call it 'Pure White Eye'."
Although he was mocking himself, Liu Bo knew that the benefits of being a transmigrator named the Eye of Pure White were actually quite powerful. This was because he had already obtained great benefits in those few seconds. At that moment, he subconsciously took out a pen and paper to summarize the benefits in Chinese.
"The first ability of this White Pupil is to enhance my memory processing ability! In just a few seconds, not only did I digest all of the Host's memories, even the knowledge I learned before I transmigrated and the books I read became clearer! These are all wealth. Ignoring everything else, just the potion formulas and ritual incantations involved in the Lord of the Mysteries novel alone are priceless. Although I liked this novel a lot and read it many times, it was impossible for me to especially memorize the potion formula. Now that the White Eye can directly revive my memories, it's simply amazing! However, after exiting the White Eye state, these memories will gradually become unrealistic. I have to revise them quickly to truly remember them. Yes, it seems like the knowledge that involves demigods and above is especially fast to forget. I can't even remember any knowledge about the Outer Deities."
"The second ability is to enhance logic and insight. It allows me to discover many details in the state of the White Eye, and it allows me to think through the logic and connections of these details. It is the best supplementary skill for planning and strategy. I didn't feel lost when I woke up because I thought through everything in the few seconds before I fainted."
"I believe the third ability is the core ability of the White Eye, which is also the analytical ability! It's an ability that can only be operated on the basis of the knowledge and the specific phenomena that I've observed in my memories. That is to say, the two abilities above are actually the prerequisite for this ability! And this ability is extremely powerful. In those few seconds, I only took a glance at the Beyonder characteristic and looked at myself through the mirror. I had already analyzed quite a number of situations!"
Liu Bo switched to another piece of paper to record the analysis results. "Firstly, this Beyonder characteristic belongs to the Reader Sequence. It's a Sequence 8 Student of Ratiocination. Secondly, my body has indeed been contaminated by the Beyonder characteristic. However, due to the suppression of the White Eye's level after I transmigrated, this corruption has already fused into my body and spirit, allowing my spirituality and Body of Heart and Mind to receive a slight improvement. This improvement isn't like the White Eye's temporary state after it's activated. Instead, it's like the second-generation Low-Sequence Beyonder Beyonders who were born with a Beyonder characteristic…"
At this point, Liu Bo could not help but laugh bitterly. He pondered and said, "This also means that it's impossible for me to enter other Sequences. I can only attempt to advance to a Reader. And this Sequence Beyonder also increases memory, insight, logic, and analytical ability in the early stages. It's simply a perfect match for my White Eye. It will definitely constantly enhance the ability of this golden finger… Is this really just a coincidence?"
Forget it. In any case, I don't have any other choice now. If I don't really advance to Reader, even with the suppression of the White Eye, the fused characteristics will be a huge latent danger. The slightest mistake will cause me to lose control… With this in mind, Liu Bo continued writing on the piece of paper with the analysis results.
"Reader Sequence 9
Primary ingredient: Garra Fish's pupil
…
"…"
This was the true power of the White Eye's analytical ability. This was an ability that surpassed the ability of a Sequence 5 of the Reader pathway!
