Mystical Mask
Juliette
What is this all about? Is some maniac out there playing a joke on me? I am afraid to live. Please find the yellow mask immediately.
This yellow mask immediately reminded me of a Wilkie Collins novel. His mystical tales are much scarier! Oh no, I won't be wearing this mask either.
-
Blood color mask
Juliette
Okay, I'll read it out: "I offer you a job, or your beauty and health will be in jeopardy. Don't look in the mirror, put on a dark red mask, and tell me if it fits." You mean, find a red mask, put it on, and don't look in the mirror? Of course I don't look in the mirror, but what if it was written by some weird maniac? I'd just be scared. Would you please look for the mask with me?
This red mask reminds me of an Edgar Allan Poe story. I don't want to wear this. Would you be willing to try it on for me? No? But I really don't like it even before I put it on, which means it's not for me.

Depending on the angle
Cardsharp
Sir! I'm having trouble with Isabel's new riddle. Three has 180 friends and six has 720. So who has 900 friends?" What? Oh, look. All the shapes have angles! It's the sum of the angles, and the only one that comes to 900 degrees is the heptagon. Bring it to me quickly.
Yes, the heptagon is the answer! Thanks for your help. You've got the right answer.
-
sixth dimension
Cardsharp
Isabelle has a riddle for me. I need a shape that corresponds to the cosmic dial of sacred geometry in India. Hmmm, let's count. Left to right, forward, backward, up, down... six directions... now that's a hexagon! Find it. That's the answer to Isabel's riddle, I'm sure of it.
You made a hexagon! Well...you did a great job! You knew right away that the answer to Isabel's riddle was a hexagon. Do you have any other riddles worthy of my knowledge?
-
5 steps to perfection
Isabelle
Everything about amulets and magic is my specialty. Of course I know about health amulets. This shape is a pentagon. Make it out of matches and take it to the card swindler.
The pentagonal amulet symbolizes eternity and perfection in addition to health. This magical tool is used for certain rituals and incantations. Even if made out of matches, the pentagon is a powerful amulet.
-
Four Pillars
Isabelle
I'll answer that card cheater's riddle in a minute. It's a quadrangle. The Greeks called them tetragons. You can make a box shape out of four matchsticks. Make one for the card cheater.
We have a rectangle! This amulet symbolizes eternity and stability. Don't be surprised that I found the answer so quickly. I specialize in the study of amulets.
-
The Trinity of Freemasonry
Isabelle
Have you been offered a riddle by a card scammer? Need a shape of light and dark time involving Freemasonry? Hmmm, Freemasonry's preferred shape is a triangle. Can you find it for me or make one out of matchsticks. Hopefully that's the answer.
I hadn't thought of that. How could such a simple triangle, like one made from a match, have anything to do with Freemasonry's cosmos of light, dark, and time? We, wizards, see geometric shapes in a unique light.
-
swift-footed grasshopper
Mei
Every discovery seems to indicate that we are on the right track. The turquoise hairpins of my mother's wench are full of magic. And finally, the swift-footed messenger, the grasshopper. Find her hairpin.
The turquoise grasshopper on the Empress's wench's hairpin is made of silver and blue feathers. What did the mother want to convey through her faithful wench?
-
agile bird
Yui
I never met my mother. During the war with my father, the emperor, I was told she had a secret advisor, a bird. She knows a lot of secrets. Go find this wench's hairpin.
The mother's advisor's little hairpin turquoise bird looks like it's alive. What is this? A hallucination? No, I shook my wings, it's true, I'm not hallucinating!
-
Cicada Song
Mei
The attendants of the Mother Goddess may know something about her dealings with the Tiger God. An advisor called Cicada used to play the zither. That's how she got her nickname. Find her hairpin!
Turquoise cicada hairpin decorated with kingfisher feathers. The earthly incarnation of the blue phoenix. Do you hear that stringed instrument? Where do they come from?
-
Butterfly Wings
Monk
Princess Mei, the Dragon Priestess has shown us her wisdom again. She saw her mother's secret message in the silk embroidery! We were told that an advisor called Butterfly was in charge of the Empress' dress. You must find her hairpin.
The advisor to the empress who made such a gorgeous outfit was wearing a hairpin with a turquoise butterfly on it. Look, there is black and white embroidery on the end of the hairpin. Is this a sign?
-
The Emperor's Flowers
Mei
The five advisors of the concubine's mother were associated with the covenant with the White Tiger God. They were dressed in the colors of the empress and wore precious turquoise hairpins for their roles. My mother's gardener wore turquoise flowers. Go find them.
My mother's gardener used to wear these turquoise flowers in her hair when she brought fresh flowers to her room each morning. But what does it mean and where did it come from?
-
Special polishing
Martha
You have the amethyst and emerald for the lens. But you need to polish those thoroughly. Find a special material, corundum.
You found the corundum. Now you have everything you need to make your psychic goggles. Now you can do without me.
-
hot flame
Martha
It takes a very hot flame to melt meteorite metal. The kind of flame that anthracite produces when it burns. Shouldn't be hard to find. There are quite a few in town.
I told you it wasn't hard to find anthracite coal. Yeah, that's all you need.
-
metal of the sky
Martha
The edges of the goggles are not easy to make. They have to be made from materials that come from the sky itself. Metals from meteorites, for example.
Looks like you've already found the meteorite metal. How can one find such a rare item so quickly?
-
Vanilla and Aromatic
Angelique
Dragonflower is a must for spring perfumes. There is nothing better for bringing together multiple fragrances. All famous perfume artisans use it...but only those artisans with the financial resources to obtain such an expensive material. Could you please go and look for it?
According to Fabien, the fragrance of longan is warm and delicate. I have never been able to understand what he meant by "warm" fragrance, but I am sure that Fabien, who is well acquainted with high society, would approve of this fragrance. Now, let's finish the spring perfume and see if I was right.
-
Left lens
Martha
The left lens has to be made from amethyst. Only this stone gives the person who equips it the power to see the spirit world.
Very beautiful amethyst. It seems a shame to have to destroy such a pure stone. But I have to.
-
Right lens
Martha
With special psychic goggles, the guides can see the ghosts too. But first you have to make them, and I don't have time for that. I'll tell you what you need, but you'll have to make it yourself. First, you need to find an emerald. You'll use it to make the right lens.
Have you found the emerald yet? That's fantastic. I can make the best lenses for my psychic goggles.
-
Disturbing warning signs
Conductor
I heard that there is a ghost guide on this train. As someone in the same profession, I would like to ask him. I would like to ask him what happens to the passengers who get on this train and are taken into the fog. But where can I find him? There should be a signaling baton in the guide's compartment. Look for it.
It was worth asking to find the signaling baton so quickly. This compartment seems to be the ghost guide's for sure! Hey, the baton has started glowing on its own. This is a sign that the train will be leaving soon. Isn't the ghost guide giving us a warning?
-
The Eternal Journey
Conductor
I'm not getting off this train until I figure out the secret. Hey, there's the ghost of a little girl. It looks like she drew an arrow with sugar. Let's go in the direction it points! Oh, my God! The sugar arrows have been blown away by a gust of wind! Let's see if there are any other messages written in sugar.
You found another message written in sugar. The spirit of that girl was standing next to the compartment... but hey, isn't that her brooch? I see, you used sugar to draw the infinite symbol of the rail! I think what the girl was trying to say is that the passengers of this train are destined to travel forever, aren't they?
-
Scenes from a Journey
Conductor
It looks like there is still some time before the train will depart again. Let's hurry up and investigate and solve the mystery of the Fog Express. Hey, do you smell that coffee? Are you saying there is someone else alive? Let's follow this scent. There's got to be hot coffee somewhere!
This coffee is still hot. It doesn't look like it's been that long since it was brewed, but there's no one here but us. Probably the ghosts of the passengers are still on board, unaware that they're dead. We're drinking coffee, reading newspapers, listening to music...
-
sink quickly
Huntress
When I was little, sailors told me stories about their youth. They said that the anchor that sank the fastest and was the most stable was Matrosov's anchor. That's what we're looking for. If you want to protect your ship, Colonel.
You found Matrosov's anchor. But even this one couldn't hold the boat together. Even though it sank immediately and got caught on the seabed. You need something else.
-
Unbreakable sturdiness
Detective
A normal anchor would not be enough to hold Gallahard's ship together! If the holed anchor didn't work, there must be a lot of strain on the bottom of the ship. We need to find Roger's anchor. They are made for hard soil.
I thought Roger's anchor could handle it. Buddy, this storm is way too strong. Apparently, it won't even give us time to get the anchor in the bottom of the ocean...
-
Commemorative gift for the founding of the company
Lewis Capuchin
You have helped me to remember many important things! But many memories about this movie theater are still deprived by the fog... In the list of collectibles, there should have been a commemorative clapper with a strange note attached "commemorating the founding of the theater". Could you please bring that to me?
This is that kachinko...I remember! I had met the manager of the Illusion Movie Theater while we were filming a movie. He was very kind and when we told him we were planning to open our own movie theater, he presented us with a commemorative kachinko.
-
Bound together
Augustine Capuchin
After we had co-produced four films, Luis proposed to me. It's funny to remember now. That was on the last day of shooting. We had to reshoot one of the scenes that had already been shot... That said, the fog made me lose my memory of the wedding day. If you can find my veil, you might remember.
Thank you for finding the veil. It brought back a few memories of our wedding. Please look closely at this veil. It is decorated with pieces of film. It is a sign of respect for the film that brought us together. The funny thing is that as filmmakers, our wedding was not filmed at all.
-
The Sorrow of the Outcast
Kira Woodville
Let me start at the beginning to explain why I did this. A few years ago there was a fog approaching some areas of the city. Various solutions were proposed, but Director Black...if you could find a window that was boarded up, that would explain what happened.
Do you see the markings of the Security Bureau on the board? The director told people to evacuate immediately and we sealed off all the buildings. Eventually the fog never reached the area, but people were nevertheless not allowed to return to their homes. Director Black at the time did not listen to anyone.
-
Significant Evidence
Vera
If the misty silhouette is really a scarecrow infused with energy, then there must be an energy source somewhere. Look for the ritual circle. It must have energy left behind by its creator. And that creator is the one who left the "follow me" message.
You found the ritual circle! With this, we should be able to figure out who left the "track me" message and the clue. I'll get my tools... which ones... huh? You're kidding! This ritual circle was created by a disciple of The Shadow!
-
Appearance of the Obake
Vera
Stop! I see a silhouette of fog at the end of the road! That must be either a foggy apparition or the person who left that message. If it's the former, I know how to deal with it, but if it's the latter... let's approach the foggy silhouette and talk to it.
Well, I guess I was wrong. It doesn't seem to be a phantom or a creature. It's more like it's infused with energy or one of the natural elements. I have a bad feeling about this. Let's hurry up and find the sender of the message and return to the gatherer's lair.
-
A Little Guide
Vera
Clues left by the sender of the "track me" message are slowly leading us further and further away from the forager's lair. I have a bad feeling about this. Should we go back? What is this? Just as we were about to turn off the trail, a caterpillar stuck to my leg and blocked my way. Let's check out this caterpillar.
Aren't you afraid of caterpillars? Ouch... it bit me! That's funny. This kind of caterpillar is not supposed to be aggressive... but the sender of the message seems to want us to follow the clues at all costs.
-
dazzling lead
Vera
It's bright here for a place covered in fog... look! There's a ball of light hanging from a tree branch. This is a very rare and precious item. It's hard to imagine that someone lost it by accident. It must be a clue left by the person who wrote the message. Let's pick up the ball of light and examine it.
Thank God you brought the ball of light down from the tree. I couldn't have reached it myself. Who in the world would have hung it up there? I put a light-measuring device next to this sphere and the readings spiked. It's like this sphere is made of the ultimate in condensed... darkness. Strange.
-
right turn
Vera
Thank God you came with me. It is dangerous to walk alone in the fog. One of the pickers is with Lucas and the rest are away on business. Look at this directional sign! It's the first clue left by the mysterious sender. Let's check it out!
That's a very strange directional sign! I've never seen anything like it. There's nothing written on it, and all the arrows are pointing in the same direction... Whoever left the message must have wanted it to go in this direction. Who could it be?
-
attention-grabbing flash
Kira Woodville
Director Black will not take his eyes off Vila and Lucas for a moment...even though they are running out of time. In this situation, we have no choice but to use a spark grenade. I am sure it will get the Director's attention. It's what they use to detain violators. Now, look for it.
Yes, this is it. Let's get on with the plan. Please believe me. Helping Vila and Lucas will help the city in the future.
-
counterfeit fire
Rayden Storke
I was trying to think of a way to divert the director's attention away from the villas, and then I realized. I realized that I had forgotten the easiest way...yes, fire! Let's make a realistic looking fire so no one gets hurt. Look for a fire lamp!
I was surely right when I thought there must be a fire lamp from Villa around here. This lamp was circulated right after the "distortion" occurred. Because of the supernatural phenomena, it was not possible to start a real fire. Now, let's use this lamp to start a real fire that looks just like the real thing.
-
attention (heed)
Kira Woodville
If we can successfully divert Director Black's attention, we can let Vila and his team go. Oh, by the way...among Veera's belongings was something that looked like a signal light. They are used by the Sheriff's Department. I don't know where Vila got it, but let's look for it.
Thank God you found the signal light! With this, I will be able to lure Director Black to a place far away from Vila and the others. Of course, I will confiscate the signal light later. Of course, I will confiscate the signal light later, since it belongs to the Security Bureau only.
-
Light shining in total darkness
Rayden Storke
I don't know why Keira wants to let the Carlos children go, but I am going to help. So you want to divert Director Black's attention...yes, I have an idea! Make up an accident. Look for the warning lights. They are used by the guards.
This warning light is perfect. And you've found the latest and greatest. Give me a minute...I'll connect this to a timer and be ready to turn it on at the right moment. Vila, Lucas, I'll help you soon!
-
Howls echoing from the forest
Kira Woodville
We are in trouble...Vila and Lucas have just been arrested by Director Black! This leaves us with only one recourse...help us get them off the hook. They are absolutely innocent! We must find a way to divert Director Black's attention. Blowing a werewolf whistle might be a way to do it. Go find them!
This whistle is perfect. It was created by a scientist from the forager group based on a sketch of a defender who analyzed the howl of a werewolf. The eerie howl emanating from this whistle would surely get the attention of the director. In the meantime, you can help Vila and his friends!
-
Beginning of career
Lewis Capuchin
Augustine is not just my wife, she is my faithful de facto partner and best friend. However, I can't remember what led me to work with her. Somehow I think it has something to do with an old hand-held camera...can you help me find it? It might bring back memories.
Just as I thought! As soon as I saw this old hand-held camera, I remembered everything. This camera was auctioned off by Augustine. I wanted one too, but she beat me to it! Some time later, we shot our first documentary film with this camera.
-
First Symbol
Augustine Capuchin
My wife and I have a rule. It is that every year Luis will give us a rose, beautifully wrapped in film. But I can no longer remember what started this tradition... Please help me find that rose. I really don't want to forget the wonderful memories!
When I held the rose in my hand, it brought back memories... On our first date, Luis gave me a rose. I thought "I don't even want to talk to this pushy guy" but he promised to take me to a secret premiere screening...that night I already fell in love with him.
-
Fateful Encounters
Lewis Capuchin
My wife and I keep a tight control on our collectibles. In fact, we have found a list of collectibles and would like you to find the auction number tag on it. According to the short note attached to the list, it appears to be an item related to my wife and I meeting. Unfortunately, I can't recall any of it now...
Number 17 number tag...oh, I remember now! My wife and I met at a movie auction. She bid on item number 17, which was the item I wanted! I went to see who took that item...I fell in love at first sight.
-
Unusual beams
Augustine Capuchin
I looked into the Lewis projector that caused Lewis and Mad Ricky to switch. Apparently, the projector is also the solution to this problem. Leyden said that Ricky is already trapped and on his way here. Please help me bring the projector from Lewis' workshop!
Thank you for your cooperation! Let's put the projector here. Do you see a couple of beams coming out? Place one of them on Mad Ricky and the other on the film of the movie in which Lewis is trapped. If my guess is correct, Ricky should return to the film and Lewis should return to the real world.
-
warning
Rayden Storke
Ricky is a professional thief. He may steal the fake diamond you have prepared and get away with it without anyone noticing. You should attach a signal lamp to the base of the diamond. If you find it, I will explain how it works.
You found the best signal lamp! We have already attached it to the base of the diamond. As soon as Ricky touches the diamond, the lamp should emit a loud signal. If that happens, it will be impossible for him to escape without anyone noticing.
-
Dangerous fugitives
Augustine Capuchin
In the movie, Mad Ricky gets arrested three times. But each time, he escapes out of handcuffs. Then the police made a special shackle for him. As you can imagine, he couldn't escape from it. If you want to catch him, you need similar shackles. Will you search for him with us?
Excellent! This is the same ashase that was used in the scene where Ricky is arrested. I don't know how long we can keep him in custody, but I'll see if I can figure out a way to replace him with Luis during that time. Oh, I can't wait to see my husband!
-
Compass Principle
Kira Woodville
Vila said she observed Lucas' reaction to the crystal, but where on earth did he get it from? No, we will talk about this later. First we have to find Lucas. By the way, Vila said that there is a magnetic pointer that detects the location of Lucas's clothes. Can you help me find that?
The pointer detects traces of the radiator on Lucas's clothing and gives us an approximate route to his location. The closer we get to him, the better chance we have of detecting Lucas's location through the radio interference caused by the fog.
-
signs of life
Vera
I once had a dark hunter attack that claimed the life of one of my companions. At the time, Lucas was clearly confused and wouldn't talk. Can you use this device to check this whole area? I need a thermograph of Lukas's hands!
You found the thermography of Lucas's hand! Now we know where to go. Lukas, wait for me. I'll help you right away. Before you leave, let me make sure you don't have any artifacts containing crystals. An experiment has revealed a fact. Lucas is afraid... of the crystal.
-
More capable than a dog
Rayden Storke
Vila has entrusted me with a tracking rat named "Sprite". He is a special kind of rat that can breathe and smell even in fog. Unfortunately, it has escaped... but please help us catch it!
This mouse is somewhat uneasy. According to Vila, it was Lucas' pet. She said that this guy helped her get back on her feet when she lost consciousness several times. Poor Vila and Lucas...Carlos will be so sad when he finds out about this.
-
The scent of the owner's remnants
Vera
My brother's condition got worse day by day for a few years before the dark hunters started targeting him. We tried so hard to protect each other... but maybe Lucas dropped something in the fog. A handkerchief, for example... but to find my brother, we need his belongings. Can you help me look for it?
You found Lukas' handkerchief. Thank God! I'll try to find it as soon as I can. My brother is going a little crazy... sometimes he mumbles about the houses he sees and the voices he hears in the fog. Come on, let's keep searching!
-
the water of life
Kira Woodville
If this happens, we have no other choice. Together with Vila, we will look for Lucas. We will take our time with the interrogation afterwards. Don't worry. We won't even look at Vila for a moment. Before we go searching, we need to prepare drinking water. We need one for us and one for Lucas. Find a bottle of water.
They found it well. The bottle is made of glass reinforced with fog and it's hard to break. According to Vila, the dark hunter's attack began a long time ago. And that Lucas has changed completely since he first wandered into the fog. What happened in the fog?
-
Shiny belt
Rayden Storke
So a character named Mad Ricky came to town, and Lewis got into the movie instead? I know how to catch that bad guy. You lure him into a trap with a fake diamond. Can you help me find the diamonds?
It's like the real thing. You have to spread the rumor that there are precious diamonds hidden in the city. Then Ricky will surely come to steal them. That's your chance to catch him!
-
Beginning of the chase
Augustine Capuchin
What if Louis is stuck in the movie forever? We must hurry to find a character from the movie who is staying in town instead of her husband. That person dropped something on his way out. Let's take a look at it. You may be able to find out who he is!
I see you found the cigar cutter. I have seen the movie that Lewis got into before. The guy in it, Mad Ricky, had this cigar cutter. He is the main villain and he is wanted by the police. We can't let someone like that loose on the streets!
-
Traces of Crime
Alicia
Was the clash with the Five Wise Guardians the reason why the designer started a fire and disappeared? If so, what was the reason for the clash? In the note left by the designer, there was a description about the anti-mist crystal she was making for the guardian group. Let's examine her belongings to see if we can find any traces of the crystal.
Look closely at the designer's gloves found. It has crystal fine powder on it. So she was actually using anti-fog crystals. Oh my, what is this... a message from a member of the guardian group? It says, "If you try to hide the crystal, you will surely regret it. We will find it.
-
Family Feuds
Kira Woodville
In other words, the fire that ruined so many of the designer's inventions long ago was her own doing. But why would she do that? Maybe she was trying to cover up something in the garden, or maybe someone was after her. Look. Part of the coat of arms has fallen to the ground. Let's look for the rest.
This is the coat of arms of the Five Wise Guardians to which the designer belonged. What a heavy coat of arms! This was deliberately broken. It must have taken a lot of strength. It seems that the rumors were correct...the designer had left the Five Wise Guardians shortly before the fire.
-
a humble beginning
Rayden Storke
Are there no other marks to point us in the direction of Vila's lair anymore? The latest technology...no, wait a minute. Not all of them are modern. All of Vila's early inventions were made with simple chemical tools. Look for the pestle and mortar.
You are lucky! The tools of a good alchemist are a pestle and mortar. I didn't realize there was a flag with such a symbol. I think I'm close to finding out where Vila is. Now we just have to search through the buildings around here...
-
beacon
Kira Woodville
Vila recently discovered a fluorescent raw liquid that can glow even in fog. The collectors use it to mark their locations so they don't get lost in the fog. Is it possible that something similar could be used to mark Vila's location? Let's look for the flask sign together.
The flask on this sign is tilted. We can safely assume that it indicates the direction of the hiding place. So it's this way...and how dark it is. Wouldn't it be nice to have fluorescent markers at times like this? It's always pitch black and you never know where danger lurks...what's it like to live as a forager in such an environment?
-
tiger beetle (esp. the Japanese tiger beetle, Cicindela japonica)
Rayden Storke
The survival of the gatherers depends on their ability to develop their skills. The fact that Vila is helping them to do so means that there may be some kind of tool to help them find their way around. Could you help me look into the engineering symbols over there? It doesn't seem like a normal symbol to me...
If you look closely, you can see a compass and a right angle ruler painted on it. These are items that symbolize Vila's engineering studies! Not only is she good at chemistry, but she also has a talent for designing all sorts of tools. I would love to take a peek into her workspace once...
-
cohesion strategy
Kira Woodville
Based on the totality of the reports and what Carlos told me, it seems that Vila has always had a strong interest in chemistry. So I think the markings pointing to her location are chemistry related. I saw the skeletal structure formula around here...let's get started looking for it!
I'm impressed that she can come up with skeletal structural formulas with arrows. Shortly after Vila learned to read and write, she learned to memorize chemical formulas and draw structural equations. Carlos often talks about that too...he may have lost his memory, but he never forgets the memories of spending time with his children.
-
The Sparkle of Comets
Rayden Storke
Vila's nickname was "Comet," wasn't it? That's what her father, Carlos, called her from an early age. Lucas, on the other hand, called his sister, who was constantly experimenting, "Flash. Something reminiscent of this may give us a clue to the whereabouts of Vila. There is a root symbol there. Don't you think it looks like the alchemical symbol for sulfur?
This is definitely a sulfur symbol woven with strange roots! It's a good start! Here, look at this. It is slightly tilted. It looks like it's pointing in a particular direction. Let's follow it.
-
If a fire breaks out, you must flee.
Alicia
So far, I had thought that it might be just a coincidence, but I still think that the fire was deliberately started by the designer himself. Let's look for the fire extinguishing flask that was provided to put out the fire. If it is found, it will be conclusive evidence.
I don't see any water in this extinguishing flask at all. And there are no traces of sediment, which is always found in fire extinguishers. This flask probably contained nothing from the beginning. The designer started the fire. And they did not intend to extinguish it from the beginning.
-
lightning rod
Kira Woodville
Let us assume that the designer built a controlled lightning ball for the P-2. If they built such a dangerous device, they must have built a lightning rod in case something unusual happened. Let's look for it.
It's funny. The lightning rods found appear to be very powerful...but look at the ash piled up here. If a lightning bolt had struck the lightning rod, it should have released the current to the ground, but it didn't, and it seems to have ignited. Besides, there seems to be a problem with the design of this lightning rod in the first place.
-
Lightning Manipulator
Alicia
To understand what caused the fire, we need to take a closer look at the security system that is said to have caused it, P-2. the mass of energy generated by P-2 has the appearance of a lightning bolt. Look for evidence that the designer used lightning bolts.
You found a frozen lightning bolt. This is the energy of a lightning bolt trapped inside a cooled crystal. I knew I was right. The designers designed the P-2 on the premise of utilizing a lightning bolt, or more precisely, a "ball of lightning". This is a very unstable phenomenon. Why would the designers even think of utilizing such a thing?
-
Mystery substance
Violet
I found all the possible substances the letter sender may have used to keep the dogs away. Wait a minute... what is this? Could it be something called "stardust"? I don't know why, but collectors carry these around with them all the time. Can you show me something?
Be careful not to ook up stardust. I have a feeling this has something to do with the anonymous letter. But there is no way to know if stardust affects a dog's sense of smell. The collectors won't tell me. I guess we'll have to find out in the lab.
-
Voice of the Lamp
Rayden Storke
Not a single object that could be a clue has been found... Perhaps the designer never came here? But if that's the case, it doesn't explain why the pawnbroker turned a blind eye to the search here. Take a look. That is a kind of dialogue lamp. Only a designer would make such an unusual device! Let's check it out.
This is an item that has nothing to do with the designer. Look, look here. There are some parts that have been soldered very roughly. The whole thing seems to be roughly made. It is probably a simple piece made by a young engineer. Maybe I can buy it later and put it in my workshop.
-
glowing shadow
Kira Woodville
The designer can use her power to manipulate matter to create simple objects. Is it possible that she created tools for the gatherers? For example, a tool to help them safely navigate through the fog. Look, there is a luminous fabric over there. Let's check it out.
This is a fabric as valuable as gold, but it does not appear to be supernatural. It must have been made by a highly skilled craftsman. I have a general idea who it is, but it is not the designer. Let's just say the person is, well...an expert of some sort.
-
eternal flow
Rayden Storke
When the Upper City collapsed in the past, the designers used inhumane methods to rebuild the city. Look for something that seems to defy the laws of physics. There's a fountain there that flows forever. Let's look into that.
This fountain looks like the water keeps flowing without a break, but the intricate movement of this ball just makes it look that way. If the water was truly endless, I would have considered buying this fountain at the Sheriff's Department to supply water to remote areas...but either way, Director Black would not have said yes.

Fruits that are sweet on the outside and sour on the inside
Kira Woodville
The designer's greatest weapon is his unique talent to transform the shape of an object simply by mindful thought. This may sound like a strange thing to ask, but... could you please take that mutated strawberry over there? I'd like to check it out.
It seems I was wrong in my prediction. It was the fog that mutated this strawberry, not the designer. I've been trying to figure out why this was pawned...can you hear my take on it? Food mutated in this city never goes bad. With such a rare item, who knows what high price it might fetch someday?

Careful cleaning
Violet
I will certainly make the anonymous person who sent the threatening letter regret sending such a rude letter. You may have fooled me about the alligator, but you will never fool me! I will definitely find out what the substance was that was on the paper in large quantities. Is there any possibility that it might be bleach? That's what we'll look for.
It must have been in the cleaning toolbox! I don't think it was the cleaning lady who sent the threatening letter, but I wouldn't rule her out on the suspect list. Because people are not to be trusted... the only people I trust are dogs. You are desperate for your people, but it's hard for me to understand.

Cumbersome restoration work
Violet
We need to find out what the anonymous party who sent the threatening letter used to try to numb the dog's sense of smell. I saw Layden here the other day and saw a broom with something white on it. It smelled like something a dog wouldn't like. Let's look for that broom!
You found a broom with plaster still on it. I'll check to see if what was on the letter in the example is plaster. At this point, Layden is one of the suspects, but it's possible that he was just trying to reapply the plaster and not the one who tried to blackmail me.
-
Citrus scent
Violet
This anonymous letter has a special substance on it that numbs the alligator's sense of smell. I learned in officer school that harsh citrus scents, especially grapefruit, are offensive to dogs. Look for grapefruit slices on the ground.
Grapefruit slices, cinnamon, octagonal... these things combined with the smell of these things can make a dog lose its way. Where did you find this? Well... that's where Black's guy works. I knew that guy had a grudge against me. Otherwise, I'd be making hot wine. I'll check it out!
-
Stimulating Substances
Violet
The substance used to numb the dog's sense of smell would have to be fresh. Look for something that the sender of the threatening letter may have used. How about freshly ground red pepper, for example? Check with me to see if there are any traces of red pepper around here!
This red pepper is in a very unusual mill. If I remember correctly, this mill belonged to Black when he worked here. That makes him our prime suspect. If Black is the one who sent those threatening letters, he's not going to get away with it.
-
diversionary tactics
Mr. Black
Oh boy, Violet's dog just woke up! Look at those teeth! I don't think I'm going to be able to get into the office as long as that guy is around... I got a better idea! Carlos had invented an amulet earlier that created an illusion of light in the shape of an animal. We can use that to get the dog's attention. Okay, let's find the amulet!
Did Carlos tell you how to use this amulet? He didn't tell you? Then we'll just have to figure it out ourselves. Hmmm... I don't know, but a cat-shaped phantom of light jumped out of the amulet and ran past the dog. Okay, you fooled me nicely! He's gone after the cat apparition. Now you can get into my office.
-
faithful watchdog
Mr. Black
Shh, Violet's dog is sleeping next to my office! See that pendant on her collar? That pendant sends a warning signal to Violet at the same time the dog barks. You have to sneak up quietly and remove the pendant so as not to wake the sleeping dog. Don't worry, I'm watching you.
When you took the pendant off the dog's collar, you had a momentary twinge. Just before you did, you thought the dog opened its eyes and tried to grab your hand... but it's all right now. In the unlikely event that the dog did bark, Violet would not immediately know.
-
silence
Mr. Black
Once you're through this hallway, turn right next time, and if no one has noticed you at that point, you can go into Violet's office. Oh no... the floor is making a creaking noise. If we don't do something, we'll be noticed! If this happens, we'll have to use a noise-freezing machine. It's a machine that will eliminate unnecessary noise.
It worked. All the footsteps are gone. This machine has saved my life many times. It muffles all sounds within a half-meter radius. The noise freezer is a powerful device that can even muffle the sound of gunfire.
-
Safe route of entry
Mr. Black
I had one of my men break into Violet's office earlier and he touched something that set off the alarm. So this time I had an obstruction radar ready ahead of time... where did it go? I can't believe I lost something so important...please find it!
Thanks for helping me find the obstacle radar. Without it, we'd have been noticed right away! This radar scans the whole room and calculates the safest route for us. Now you don't have to worry about getting trapped.
-
squinty eyes
Mr. Black
The only place I haven't checked is Violet's office. The entrance is heavily guarded, so it would be difficult to get in without anyone noticing. See those plaster statues in the hallway? One of them seems to be looking at us. Can you identify which bust it is?
That bust you found really seems to be keeping an eye on us! I've never seen anything like it. Its eyes are actually moving and tracking our movements. Okay, let's go to the plaster spy and move it to face the wall. Ready?
-
Intercepted packages
Mr. Black
My men just reported in. A package will soon arrive from the mist addressed to Violet. It is said to contain a bracelet in the shape of a vine. Is this another gift from the disciple of "Shadow"? Let's get the parcel and examine the bracelet before it falls into her hands!
I see that you have cleverly obtained the parcel containing the bracelet. Hey, there's a message inside... "The jewelry on the bracelet contains a special smoke. Whoever inhales this smoke will be at your mercy. Use it against your enemies. The day is near when the world will be covered by the Shadow!"
-
Anti-fog material
Mr. Black
The only way to prove that Violet is connected to the shadow cult is to seize the scene. Yesterday, a woman resembling her was seen in a back street in Foggy. She disappeared as soon as she realized she was being followed, and apparently dropped the veil she was wearing at the time. Let's hurry up and look for it!
I see you found the veil! Thanks for helping us with the investigation. Hmmm, it's made of glowing fabric...I see. This veil is woven with crystal threads and is impervious to fog. So, if you wear it, you can hide your face and at the same time avoid inhaling the fog.
-
New Uniforms
Mr. Black
Did Violet believe the cult's story that "shadows" give eternal life to their followers? They sent a spy after her to open the safe with some kind of special thimble. Let's borrow this thimble for a moment, shall we?
You only have about a minute left before Violet comes back and realizes the thimble is gone. Hold this in front of the special scanner attached to the safe...okay, the door is open! Inside the safe is a robe. This... is the robe worn by the disciples of The Shadow!
-
Secret Communication
Mr. Black
I followed Violet, who had just now returned through the back door to the Sheriff's Department headquarters. Before returning to her own office, she looked over one note, lit it on fire, and then threw it in the trash. She managed to put out the fire, but it was blown away by the wind and went somewhere else. Would you look for it?
The note must have been wedged between the floorboards! Let's find out why Violet read this and immediately threw it away. Oh dear, it looks like all the letters have been burned... all that's left is the snake symbol. That's the mark of the Order, right? I mean, the note had a message from them!
-
Evil Gifts
Mr. Black
Why should Violet become a spy for the Order of Shadows? Let's look for evidence that she is connected to the Disciples of the Shadow. Have you seen her brooch? It's a brooch with a very strange design. Can you bring me that one without anyone noticing?
Wow, you found a violet brooch! Look at this jewelry... it contains the same dark energy that was in the bomb of the "Shadow" disciple. Where the hell did she get such a dangerous accessory? Was it a gift from a member of the cult?
-
Taking care of the opposition
Mr. Black
Violet told you. That the bureau officials who didn't vote for her were out on a mission. But perhaps that's a lie! We should take another look at the evidence room at the Sheriff's Office where the badge of missing station employee number 032 was found. They may have the badges of other bureau members there as well.
What a surprise! I've found multiple badges of these fine men! The fact that these are here means they are not on duty. Did Violet take care of all those who didn't agree with her? I see...she and her Octopus unit have taken control of the Security Bureau by force!
-
Forbidden Methods
Mr. Black
I've known Violet for a long time, and I know when she is lying. She sometimes tries to manage her people in ruthless ways. You hear an unbearable sound coming from the interrogation room... examine the flower in the flowerpot there. This unpleasant sound seems to be coming from there.
Just as I thought. The sound is coming from a speaker inside this artificial flower. Violet is said to be using an illegal torture device! When this flower is placed in a cell, the sound is played from it all day long without a break, making it impossible for the prisoner to sleep. And finally, they succumb.
-
Votes that failed
Mr. Black
Violet is definitely lying. She kept quiet about the first round of voting in the Security Director election. It was not an open ballot, but a secret ballot. See, here's the stamped ballot. But one of the ballots is missing. Find it with me!
So they found the missing ballots! Well, now I'm getting to the bottom of it: the only people who voted for her on the first ballot were those in the Octopus Unit who were loyal to her. When she didn't get enough votes then, she decided to have a second vote. And it was an open ballot.
-
Clever con artist.
Mr. Black
We need to find out what happened here at the Security Service since Violet became leader. The only thing left in the vaults here was an emergency supply of dry bread. But when the building was isolated by the fog, the storeroom must have been well-stocked with food. Where the hell did they go?
Was it in the food storage area of the Octopus Unit's assembly hall? Perhaps by hiding food there, Violet was trying to convince those around her that the situation was extremely serious. It's easy to control a frightened opponent.
-
Fog of Fiction
Mr. Black
Violet's story must be different from what happened in real life. Let's do our own investigation and find out what she is hiding. Maybe it's my imagination, but I smelled fog reagent on her....................................Find the reagent with me before Violet's guard dogs sniff out our location.
You said there was a reagent in the violet coat? With it, they can artificially create fog. Traces of this reagent were recognized on the badge of missing bureau member number 032 found in the evidence room. Maybe this bureau member didn't just disappear in the fog. Maybe Violet made him disappear and then fabricated evidence on top of it.
-
indisputable fact
Violet
I'm not going to give a traitor a second chance. That goes for Black, too, who abandoned us. I put every Agency employee through the lie detector to find out who the traitor was. The lie detector must still have the data. Find it and see what it says.
Do you think you'll be able to successfully decipher the lie detector data you found? I conducted the interviews myself, and I immediately recognized the traitors who were working for the shadow cult. Some of them were Black's favorite subordinates. I banished them into the mist. Without hesitation!

Incredible Creation
Juliette
You helped me a lot to choose the lilies... but I'm afraid that the mistress will find out that I'm getting into it. He will demand all the flowers in the greenhouse. I will have to make lilies to distract the mistress from the other lilies. The magic of the city will always help you.
You have created an incredible flower, the black lily! I can't believe such a flower really exists. And it's so beautiful. It's also called bat or, in more exotic names, cat's whiskers. I read all about it in the city library. It was not only about lilies, but other plants as well. But I will not tell this to the mistress. Let her enjoy the black lilies. And I won't let him touch the other flowers in the greenhouse.
-
Exalted Value
Juliette
I believe the Golden Lily should also be included in the sound quality. It's on the flag and coat of arms of my native France.
According to an old legend, the Golden Lily is the lily that grew on the battlefield where the founder of the Frankish Kingdom was victorious. That is why this lily is depicted on the flag. Since then, the Golden Lily has been the symbol of the French royal family.

True beauty
Augustine Capuchin
Riding on the Wings of the Wind" is one of my favorite films that I have seen more times than I can count. I had in my collection a blanket hat that was used in its filming, but it was stolen by a thief. Please help me find out to whom that hat was sold!
Did you find the blanket hat? This is an iconic prop used in the first full-color film "On the Wings of the Wind". The main character is unable to buy a proper hat due to lack of money, so he uses a blanket to make this hat. Isn't that wonderful fortitude?
-
A traitor lurking in the ranks
Violet
After being stranded in the Sheriff's Department building by the fog, I decided to lead everyone instead of the director. The hardest part was putting down the prison riot. One of the officers gave the prisoners the keys to the jail, which are difficult to forge. Find the key and see for yourself!
If you look at this mechanical key, you'll see how difficult it is to forge. Without this key, there is no way to open the cell door. The Order has succeeded in winning a few Bureau members over to their side by promising them eternal life. They freed the prisoners and took the Order's side.
-
defense system
Violet
When the cultists broke in, there was only myself and a few station personnel left in the building. I'm glad I turned on the crystal protector before it was too late. It's still working. Now that the fog has lifted, we can turn it off now. It's right by the back door, if you don't mind me asking.
You turned off the crystal protector. The crystal in the eagle's head would disable the dark energy that entered the building. It was because of that device that I was able to protect myself from the evil techniques used by the "shadow" disciples.
-
The Face of the Mafia
Augustine Capuchin
Believe it or not, as a kid I wanted to be a gangster. It was inspired by a movie called "The Mafia Father." I was able to get my hands on a prop from this masterpiece, but it seems that it was sold to someone by a thief... Please can you help me find a bright red boutonniere?
You really found the bright red boutonniere used in the filming of "Mafia Father"? I'm thrilled! This item has always inspired me. Actually, the scene with the boutonniere was completely ad-libbed. Did you know that? That's why that awkward and confusing scene came to fruition.
-
Noble Warrior
Lewis Capuchin
Isn't Japanese culture very interesting? I have been carefully keeping the props from the movie "The Five Yamato Warriors," but the samurai's shoulder gowns were stolen. Would you please help me get it back?
You found a shoulder robe! This is an important part of a samurai's costume. It is very difficult to fold, but it seems that the thief did not know how to fold it. This is something that requires special skills! That is why movie props should be owned by experts.
-
Paralyzing Energy
Violet
After the fog had isolated the Security Bureau, the disciples of The Shadow emerged from the darkness. They tried to break through the entrance by throwing energy bombs into it. If you are brave enough, find it and find out.
You must be very brave to examine the energy bombs of the Disciples of the Shadow. These bombs release dark energy upon detonation, which can break down any wall. What's more, this energy envelops a person's body and paralyzes him or her like the venom of a snake.
-
insurmountable obstacle
Violet
I'll tell you what happened to us here after Black abandoned his men and fled to a safer area of town. First of all, we tried to send messages from the sky asking for help. Now that the fog has lifted, it shouldn't be too hard to find one of the messages we sent.
You found the message. We sent this into the fog, hoping someone would read it. The fog blocked all the signals coming from the equipment here, so we had no choice but to send the message this simple way. So we had to send the message this simple way.

Desert sand
Augustine Capuchin
Camels, desert sun, reform spirit... the theme of the famous movie "Lauren of the Desert". I wish I could find the famous kufiya that the hero of the movie wore on his head...perhaps one of the city's wealthy residents has one.
Did you find the spy quiffiya? This was the lead role in "Lauren of the Desert" that was covered. That was an epic film about reform and ruthless politics, but it actually didn't have a single actress in it. Did you know that?
-
Supplies for Survival
Mr. Black
Many of our men who were delayed in evacuating remained intact here at the Security Bureau headquarters. I just hope they had enough supplies to survive here...let's see if there is any food left in the storage room. Especially important is emergency dry bread.
The dry bread you found in our vaults is made with a special process. Each pack has all the vitamins you need for the day. But where did the rest of the food go? There was supposed to be enough available to keep you out of trouble for a few years...
-
confidential papers
Mr. Black
When the fog began to isolate the Sheriff's Department building, the records depository staff shredded the classified documents. Let's look for it and see if they were able to cut all the documents.
You found the shredder. You've got a stack of half-cut documents stuck inside. And some classified documents are on the floor...that's not a good sign. It means that some shadow cult thugs came in here and took a good look at the documents that escaped being cut.
-
simultaneous evacuation
Mr. Black
Let's split up. That way, we should be able to check out the security station headquarters quickly. See that floor plan over there? We'll meet at the red marker. That shows where the warning lights are. Find it and wait there.
All the other warning lights seem to have broken, but this one seems to have miraculously survived. This was the one I turned on just before the security station was engulfed by the fog. The warning beep sounded, the light switched on, and all those in the building began evacuating at once.
-
unexpected danger
Mr. Black
There is as much cause for concern here as there was that day when the fog suddenly swept into the Sheriff's Department building. The first person to report the fog that day was "station employee number 032. He was about to wash his hands when he noticed something unusual. Let's check out that faucet where it all started.
Station employee number 032 turned on this faucet and lo and behold, instead of water, fog came out. He sealed the faucet and came to me to report the situation, but it was too late. The fog was coming right up to us...
-
rising water (of river, lake, etc.)
Rayden Storke
Look for anything that looks suspicious. But then again, there are a large number of embarrassing items from the rich here! I see...the masked woman called herself a "designer. That means we should look for things related to the distortion of space. Let's examine the deformed jug over there.
This jug, and the water in it, move in very strange ways. But unfortunately, this does not seem to belong to the designer. When the "distortion" occurred, the water in several areas of this city acquired special properties. And it deformed the containers in which it was contained. This jug is probably one of them.
-
Legend of the Iron City
Lewis Capuchin
First, look for the prop mask used in one of the most famous silent films of all time, "Iron City". This film is called a masterpiece of expressionism. Please, please, please look for the robot mask.
The robot mask you found was used in "Iron City," one of the best silent films ever made. To make the robot suit, the actors had to lie in plaster for hours!
