In the midst of intense pain, Lorry seemed to lose all sense of time.

Gradually, he became numb, accustomed to the Affliction, and even began to find amusement in counting how long he had endured it.

Suddenly, the stinging pain and the babbling disappeared almost simultaneously.

Lorry heard a soft chuckle, followed by a faint, ethereal whisper. The mocking voice seemed to be saying:

I see you.

The moonlight was like a waterfall.

Crimson Light streamed through the window and fell on his face.

Like a drowning person climbing ashore, Lorry sat down heavily, still shaken, letting his soaked clothes cling tightly to his body.

He braced himself with his hands on the ground, and it took him a long time to feel a little strength returning. He slowly stood up and walked towards the Washroom.

Soaking in the comfortably warm water, Lorry felt completely relaxed, both physically and mentally. He looked up at the Ceiling, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The last voice... came from Amon?

Is He using Uniqueness to influence or mark those Beyonder Low Sequence extraordinary abilities along the same Pathway, to facilitate future harvesting?

He guessed this, and couldn't help but sigh silently.

Come to think of it, my luck is really terrible. Being transported here already condemns me to the Pathway a "Marauder"—what's the difference between that and going to jail?

Moreover, he was a serious death row inmate!

When the time comes...

Someone will then step forward to carry out the execution.

"Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I'm still a long way from reaching the High Sequence, and many Low Sequence ' Marauder ' are doing just fine, aren't they?"

There's no need to scare yourself.

Lorry comforted himself with this thought, put aside his worries about the Future, and began to close his eyes and seriously feel the changes in himself after Advancement "Mystery Pryer".

A moment later, he slowly opened his dark eyes, his gaze filled with a smile.

Like the "Marauder" and the "Swindler," the "Mystery Pryer" still lacks direct combat capabilities, but has significantly improved in support roles.

Its abilities are mainly divided into three parts:

First, mastery of Mysticism knowledge.

Simply put, it makes learning Mysticism knowledge easier and more efficient. This isn't hard to understand, since even the names of Potion include the word "scholar."

Second, Spirituality intuition is enhanced.

It includes two aspects:

One's own Spirituality is enhanced, and Spirituality intuition is strengthened.

The former allows one's Spirituality to be more expansive, enabling one to use Sealed Artifact or Charm more freely in battle, without having to constantly calculate every detail.

The latter is similar to an enhanced premonition or intuition.

For example, upon hearing a certain statement or about to do something, one can more easily perceive its potential impact, thus making a better judgment.

Third, decryption.

"Mystery Pryer" whose observation, association, and deduction abilities have been enhanced can reconstruct the Truth of Mysticism events from the slightest clues, or predict the development of events. They can also analyze many mysteries such as dreams and Illusions, and find the location, weaknesses, and patterns of enemies through analysis.

Lorry personally believes:

The first two parts of the capability are the foundation, while the decryption capability is the core.

The more Mysticism knowledge one possesses, the stronger one's Spirituality intuition, and the easier it is to discover subtle clues and hints, thus completing the decryption process.

This is a change brought about by taking Potion to Advancement.

In addition, he made another very, very important discovery!

This discovery stems from an incident this afternoon when Lorry was suddenly subjected to divination, causing all the Anti-Divination Charm he carried to shatter, forcing him to seek refuge in other Dimension.

At that moment, he vaguely sensed something was amiss.

But lacking any ideas, I had no choice but to temporarily put it aside.

However, in the instant he Advancement, Lorry suddenly sensed something and keenly realized where this strangeness came from.

It originates from itself!

Or rather, it stems from changes in one's own abilities!

Altair's description of the "Book of Dimensions" is somewhat inaccurate.

Compared to "allowing users to freely enter and exit other Dimension," Lorry felt that "allowing users to freely enter and exit its own Dimension space" was more appropriate.

Completing this "deciphering" immediately triggered the feedback of digesting the Potion.

The change in his own abilities is related to this matter.

Lorry discovered that when he was inside the "Book of Dimensions," his "Exceptional Observation" underwent a qualitative change.

In the Real World, I can only sense valuable items.

Within the "Book of Dimensions," one can accurately grasp the target's state by observing their micro-expressions and small movements.

This is when I'm a "Swindler".

After his Advancement, he conducted an experiment and discovered that his "Exceptional Observation" had undergone another qualitative change, enabling him to observe subtle clues and clues.

The observations here are different from what the naked eye can see.

It's more of a feeling, a kind of induction.

Based on the Original Novel text, it's not hard for Lorry to guess:

"Amon uses Uniqueness to influence Beyonder along the same Pathway, but there are spatial limitations? Therefore, I am not disturbed when I am in other Dimension."

The speculation quickly became a conclusion.

The feedback from the Potion's digestion told him that his judgment was correct.

"Less than an hour after his successful Advancement," the "Mystery Pryer" had already consumed a third of the Potion. "This..." Lorry chuckled, somewhat speechless.

Of course, he could probably guess some of the reasons.

Both the "Book of Dimensions" and Amon's use of Uniqueness to influence Pathway "Marauder" involve higher levels of existence.

The former belongs to the Demigod level.

The latter is the Angel of Time, King of Angel ".

After a moment of self-satisfaction, Lorry began to think about how to play the role of a "Mystery Pryer," starting from the name of the Potion and roughly guessing a few directions.

First, emulate the Nighthawks and others in investigating the Truth behind Mysticism events.

Detective also fall into this category, but they don't handle ordinary cases that involve the extraordinary, and their feedback on Potion digestion is certainly far less than that of Mysticism cases.

Secondly, playing the role of Archaeologist, exploring ancient ruins, and uncovering the Truth hidden in the Historical Void is also a form of role-playing.

To be honest, Lorry was quite disappointed about this.

Having read the Original Novel, he was well aware of the Truth of a great deal of ancient history, and originally held a slight belief that the Potion would melt instantly upon entering the mouth.

However, this did not happen.

Lorry's hindsight analysis hints at some speculation.

For "Mystery Pryer," the prerequisite for "decryption" is indispensable.

In other words, "Mystery Pryer" need to solve the "deciphering" problem themselves by finding subtle clues and clues in order to effectively digest the Potion.

Third, use certain techniques to quickly gain fame and work part-time as a "dream interpreter," digesting the Potion by analyzing other people's dreams.

The specific Acting Method cannot be summarized by Lorry through mere imagination.

Of the three options, he prefers the first two.

The first direction, in particular, perfectly aligns with my future goal of heading to the Southern Continent to investigate the mastermind behind Parliamentarian Begat.

"Call--"

Lost in thought, Lorry let out a soft breath.

By this time, the water had cooled down considerably.

He quickly dried himself off, got dressed, and in the first hour of Friday, used "Teleportation" to appear at 81 New Year Road in the Hillston District.

This is where Hugh discovered Beyoncé's residence.

This was also the Lieutenant Colonel's last mission.
