Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 3125: Chapter 3126: Detective Agency

”This is a sand table... So, I wasn’t wrong, Tomorrow Town is all fake? Just a pile of loose sand?”

Miumiu didn’t know the current situation, but she had a premonition that perhaps all the answers lay on the sand table before her.

She hesitated for a moment, cautiously reaching out to the sand table.

At the moment her fingers touched the sand table, Tomorrow Town on the sand table suddenly shone brightly, and then, large patches of colored sand fell from the void, eventually converging onto the sand table. Gathered by an invisible force, they shaped themselves into a new Tomorrow Town.

The Tomorrow Town on the sand table expanded to twice its original size, with many more buildings.

As Miumiu was puzzled by everything happening before her eyes, streams of information flowed from the new Tomorrow Town sand table.

”Special Dreamland ’Tomorrow Town’ Main Quest — Finding the Disharmony has been completed.”

”The new space of ’Tomorrow Town’ has been unlocked.”

”Re-touching the Tomorrow Town sand table will lead you into the new Tomorrow Town.”

”The old Samsara has ended, and all memories lost within the Samsara will be restored upon entering the new Tomorrow Town.”

Upon seeing these lines of information, Miumiu first let out a sigh of relief, but soon after, she wore a solemn expression.

Although completing the task of ’Finding the Disharmony’ was a joy; accompanying this joy was Miumiu’s biggest concern.

—Completing just the first task does not mean leaving Tomorrow Town.

The information explicitly stated that new changes had occurred in Tomorrow Town, and she must re-enter it... which means she not only cannot leave Tomorrow Town but also has to explore its new changes.

It’s very possible that there will be a second task.

This left Miumiu feeling bewildered; one task just completed, and there’s already a new task, is this a never-ending circle?

Is it that after completing the new task, there will be more tasks?

Just as Miumiu was feeling despair, she suddenly remembered the words spoken by the ’unknown voice’ on the first meeting day: Tomorrow Town is just a remote place, and sloth, laziness, and fear are shackles hindering progress. However, it can never trap the small bird truly pursuing freedom. As long as you keep flying high, there will eventually be an end.

She didn’t know if, at that moment, the owner of the ’unknown voice’ had already foreseen today.

But admittedly, these words, which made her somewhat dejected and bewildered heart, slowly found its way again.

Tasks will have an end, but freedom will be boundless. So long as the heart remains unchanged, there will be a day of freedom.

Thinking this, Miumiu regained her spirit, she didn’t immediately choose to touch the sand table, but explored around in this dark space...

However, after turning in a big circle, Miumiu did not find anything here.

As if this space existed only for the sand table.

Returning again to stand in front of Tomorrow Town’s sand table, Miumiu took a deep breath: ”No matter what challenges come next, I will accept them... As a detective, I will unravel all the mysteries until the truth is found!”

With that said, Miumiu reached out to touch the sand table.

In a flash, everything around underwent a transmutation, and the next moment, Miumiu found herself on the bustling streets of Tomorrow Town.

Miumiu hadn’t even had a chance to observe her surroundings when a torrent of incoming information overwhelmed her, leaving her dizzy.

Fortunately, she managed to hold onto the nearby lamppost in time, keeping herself from sprawling on the ground.

Nevertheless, that terrifying stream of information left her quite disheveled.

It took a while before Miumiu finally recovered from the fusion of the information stream and her spirit.

And at that moment, she also understood why this stream of information was so different, so fierce... because these were the memories she had lost over the past months in Tomorrow Town.

All the memories surged back in a torrent.

Though these memories were hers, the gaps left by their previous withdrawal had long been soothed by her Spirit Sea, and reintegrating these memories now had her Spirit Sea teetering.

Yet luckily, these memories were her own, with a high compatibility; otherwise, anyone else would have been made an idiot by the information torrent.

After all, Miumiu wasn’t a Transcendent; as an ordinary person, her Spirit Sea was inherently fragile.

Back to her senses, Miumiu carefully recollected the lost memories, and the more she recalled, the stranger her expression became...

Just a while ago, in the dark space, she declared to herself aloud, ”As a detective, she would find the truth.”

But now, after reviewing the memories, she realized... she wasn’t a detective at all; she was a painter!

Luckily, no one witnessed it; otherwise, it would be utterly embarrassing...

Miumiu continued sorting through the information; in reality, she was terminally ill and eventually chose to follow the Charlie Royalty’s suggestion, entering the Moss Stone Mirror, through a special channel, arriving in a world full of Crystal Origin...

And then, she didn’t know how, she got sucked into this Tomorrow Town.

She vividly remembered the Charlie Royalty saying: There might be dangers in this new world, but they never said there would be risks as soon as she entered, did they?

Moreover, weren’t there many others who entered with her? Where are the others?

Miumiu was completely baffled, ultimately only able to shake her head, setting this information aside for now. Thinking about the outside world held no necessity; focusing on the present was most important.

She was back in Tomorrow Town now; surely there would be a new task, right?

Just as she thought this, she felt a new stream of information emerging in her mind.

”Again?!” Miumiu was startled, tightening her grip on the lamppost, fearing she might collapse any second.

However, this stream of information wasn’t so overwhelming, just a few strokes depicted a few lines of words, surfacing in her mind.

”Special Dreamland ’Tomorrow Town’ Main Quest 2 — Find it!”

”Please note, each following day, you will enter a new Samsara. In this Samsara, there will be no physiological debuff effects.”

”Please note, the target person you are searching for will not be constant in each Samsara, but no matter who or what they externally appear as, internally, they will be the same person.”

”Please note, after finding the target person, you can choose to submit the task at any time. You can only submit once daily, and failure to submit will immediately open a new Samsara.”

”Please note, you will play as a detective from Miumiu’s Detective Agency, your agency is to the left of the church.”

”Please note, Miumiu’s Detective Agency is formed by your Mind Space, serving as the only real place. It is also your reward for completing Main Quest 1, which can be taken out of Tomorrow Town.”

”Main Quest 2 is about to begin.”

After reading this information, Miumiu felt a head full of question marks: The new task is to find someone, but it doesn’t specify exactly who, what does this mean?

Who is ’it, he, she’? Could this task’s target actually disguise themselves?

Miumiu didn’t comprehend what the task’s target meant for now, but this task seemed a bit more humane than before: Although it would continue Samsara, memory would not be lost this time. Moreover, there was no time limit, giving her ample time to find the person.

Yet, from these unrestricted conditions, one could tell: This task was definitely harder than the previous task, otherwise, why would there be such no limits?

Miumiu didn’t immediately go to complete the task; instead, she planned to first return to the so-called detective agency to take a look.

”A detective agency? Could it really be my reward for completing Main Quest 1, a whole house?” Miumiu muttered to herself, ”If this were reality, I might be happy. But having a house here doesn’t seem like a big deal?”

”Come to think of it, why am I playing the role of a detective? I’m clearly an artist.”

”Could it be malice from Tomorrow Town... mocking my previous role as a detective?” A strange expression crossed Miumiu’s face as she shivered, it shouldn’t be that. Tomorrow Town is an inanimate thing and shouldn’t have thoughts.

Without further contemplation, Miumiu quickly made her way through the crowd and arrived near the church.

On her previous visit to the church, there was no one around, but now, the area was bustling; at a glance, there were at least several hundred people.

Moreover, from the church looking around, there were visibly many more tall buildings in the distance, indicating that this expansion of Tomorrow Town was quite significant.

Judging by the population density, could it be that this expansion of Tomorrow Town has exceeded six figures?

If there really are six figures worth of population living here, relying on random points to find the target person in the future will be highly unlikely.

The only way is to find a pattern and accurately lock onto the target.

As she pondered, Miumiu arrived at a detached small building on the left side of the church.

From afar, she could see a large sign on top of the three-story building: Miumiu Detective Agency.

This should be the reward given for completing the previous Main Quest.

With a trace of curiosity, Miumiu walked into the detective agency.

At that moment she entered the agency, information about the detective agency appeared in her mind.

”Fairyland Building: Miumiu Detective Agency.”

”Produced by Tomorrow Town, a detached small building with a total of thirteen rooms. It boasts complete facilities inside, and with sufficient energy supply, it can be fully utilized, also able to automatically repair damaged areas.”

”Additional Skills: Detective Identity, Mind Space.”

”Detective Identity - While in the fairyland, you will automatically acquire a detective identity.”

”Mind Space - Within the detective agency, analytical and observational abilities will be significantly enhanced.”

”Attached Pet: Dove Scout Team.”

”Dove Scout Team - Thirty-six dove scouts will automatically patrol within a hundred miles of the detective agency, scouting for potentially emerging cases.”

”Please Note: The Dove Scout Team will occupy one room and require daily rations. If a dove scout dies, it will not resurrect. However, you can catch ordinary doves and have the dove scout team leader cultivate them into new members.”

”Please Note: Currently, there is no leader for the Dove Scout Team. Please cultivate a new leader as soon as possible, or the dove scouts may flee.”

”Miumiu Detective Agency can be stored in a separate fairyland space (usable outside the fairyland).”

Regardless of Miumiu’s feelings towards this ”Fairyland Building,” Angel was quite surprised upon seeing this building.

This attribute and this skill set are fairly remarkable. Not only can people reside here, but it also has auxiliary functions like Mind Space.

An ironclad assistant, with flowing main offense. This phrase might not be applicable in reality but fits perfectly with enchanted land tools.

Even a building comes with a detective identity and functional pets... How would Glaipnir take this?

Though this enchanted land tool may not be the strongest currently, it certainly is the most comprehensive in terms of functionality.

Thinking back to those enchanted land tools produced yesterday on World Grinding Day, it pales in comparison to this.

While Angel mused, Miumiu didn’t dwell much; she still had no concept of enchanted land tools. Besides, she had previously experienced Mind Space and Detective Identity, which didn’t seem like a big deal to her.

The one thing that caught Miumiu’s attention was the dove scout team.

She had not experienced this!

As an enthusiast of detective novels, Miumiu’s favorite detective novel featured a great detective who always carried a bird with him... Although, it was a crow, not a dove.

Miumiu found crows cool, but doves aren’t bad either! Especially since these doves can go out and gather intelligence on their own.

Perhaps these doves will become her greatest aid in this quest to find ”it”.

Thinking of this, Miumiu didn’t immediately explore the house’s layout; instead, she eagerly went to find the dove’s room...

...

As Miumiu excitedly acquainted herself with the Dove Scout Team, Angel observed the new Tomorrow Town using the Box Garden Perspective.

He guessed that Miumiu might not easily leave Tomorrow Town, and sure enough, the new task arrived with a new map.

This is somewhat reminiscent of... the Uriel Dungeon.

The Uriel Dungeon’s Main Quest 2 also unlocked a new map, which was the attic space.

If Tomorrow Town is similar to the Uriel Dungeon, will ”Dreamseeing” people appear here as well?

Main Quest 2’s search for ”it” explicitly means searching for a specific person. Could this person be someone with a Dreaming State?

With this thought, Angel observed Tomorrow Town, trying to foresee and locate the so-called ”it”.

But he hadn’t observed for long before he felt confused.

The new Tomorrow Town is too vast, and everyone is vibrant, each with distinct personalities. He couldn’t immediately spot anyone with something amiss.

After a short rest, Angel challenged himself again, overlooking the land, seeking the target of Main Quest 2.

But half an hour passed... and the target had yet to show any signs.

In his perplexity, Angel carefully recalled the previous fairyland hints.

”Please note, the target person you are looking for is not fixed in each Samsara, but regardless of who they appear on the outside, internally, they remain the same person.”

After rereading it, he had a bit of understanding.

”To confirm this person’s identity, observing just one Samsara isn’t enough.” Angel murmured, ”You must go through multiple Samsaras, identify the commonality in internal traits, to determine the other party’s identity.”

So his current search is akin to finding a needle in a haystack because, without undergoing Samsara, the commonality in traits hasn’t manifested, making it impossible to lock onto the task target.

Furthermore, Angel contemplated carefully.

Even if the other party might still be alive in reality, at this moment, they certainly wouldn’t be in a Dreaming State, as the Dreaming State only appears after sleep in reality.

The fairyland hint without a clear ”time limit” implies that the counterparty couldn’t be in a Dreaming State.

Thus, even finding the person now holds no value.

Moreover... he still couldn’t find the person.
