Returning from the abyss

As it grew darker, the rest of the group regrouped in the hall.

Of course, there are actually not many people left.

Lian Qingyi and Justina came down from upstairs and did not go out.

Bay leaves, lavender and jasmine set out in the living room with an easy dinner.

Mayuri Daita hugged her gun and curled up on the sofa in the hall with a pale face.The pendulum on the wall made a ticking sound, which seemed extremely terrifying in the quiet main hall at the moment.

"People who went out... No one came back?" Justina asked.

Bay Leaf shook her head.

"They're all dead!" Mayuri Daida suddenly said viciously, "I told you not to take the order if you have nothing to do, and you still want to run around, you deserve to die!"

"Ah... good fortune tricks people." Lian Qingyi picked up a piece of bread, chewed it without taste, and said with a wry smile, "If the murderer is among us, there is no need to hide it. Now no matter what, the wicked have the upper hand. ..."

Mayuri Daita silently began to stuff food into her mouth.

There were four knocks on the door, a pause of about five seconds, and four more knocks on the door, repeating four times.

"Hey! Don't run around!" Mayuri Daitian yelled, and hurriedly chased him out.

"Bay leaves! You—"

but……

Justina saw a hand quickly lift the helmet that Lian Qingyi was holding, she couldn't shoot so fast.

Time seemed to be suspended for a few seconds at this moment, and everyone dared not breathe a sigh of relief, until several seconds later, the armor did not move any more.

"Come in," Justina whispered.

"It's a ghost..." Jasmine took a step back in shock, then turned around and rushed towards the back door in a panic.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

"You group of people, what happened to the three men, Mint, Musk and Ambergris."

"...the tourist who stayed here."

Well, she definitely has something to hide.Mayuri judged that maybe the story is indeed like this, but this should only be part of the story.

The arrival time of servants is different, and the person responsible for the basic training of servants is Escher.Since most of the work does not require high technical content, it only requires proficiency and patience. Jasmine learned quickly. After studying for about a month, she got her own exclusive servant costume, that is, the servant who drew jasmine flowers. People take.At this time, there are still four servants on the island, namely Mint, Iris, Rosemary and Angelica.

Standing at the door was a man wearing heavy armor and holding a huge bow. He was not tall, but because his whole body was covered with armor like a medieval knight, he looked very oppressive.Everyone even felt that the guns in their hands couldn't break through that armor at all.

"I don't believe it! You want to kill people! Yes, you are the murderer, servants. In the story just now, the servants came here for revenge! You want to kill us all! Including Renix, Renix too. From the very beginning , The purpose of your coming to the island is to plunder the property of the Howard family and wipe out all the heirs!"

"Hide--"

"Ha, haha..." Mayuri Daida laughed, "Go and check to see who is playing tricks."

Lavender was the first to fire. He pulled the trigger continuously, and the bullets rubbed a few bright sparks on the armor, but they didn't leave many marks at all.After being attacked, the opponent immediately raised the bow in his hand and hitched an arrow.

What power is this?
Everyone felt their scalps tingling, and the guns in their hands couldn't give them the slightest sense of security.However, at this moment, Mayuri Daita suddenly got up and threw a card out. The card swirled down in the air, and it happened to get stuck between the gap between the armor's neck and the helmet.

"Pretending to be a ghost! Leave him alone! The people before can come directly to the hall, who will knock on the door of the main hall?"

This matter was done very secretly, and even the family members did not know that these people were helped by Raynix.And they don't need to serve the Howard Foundation or pay off the grant after they complete their studies. The only thing they need to do is to come to Yamu Island for a one-year servant service when Reynix needs it.

That's what Ray Nix said at the time.

Although Renix has participated in many charitable foundations and the like, he has never believed in such organizations run by others, and donating money is just a routine behavior.He prefers to choose some promising young people through his own vision. If the other party encounters financial difficulties, he will pay to train them, and even has a dedicated team to help him do this.

Justina kept her gun in her hand, and her expression was not too flustered, as if all this was just a trivial matter. She sipped a cup of hot milk and quietly looked at the servants.

Mayuri felt that something was wrong.

Bay Leaf and Lavender pointed their rifles at the door, both of them looked wary.Mayuri Shirota checked her pistol, reached into her pocket, and readied her abilities.

Jasmine couldn't believe it at the time, and after Lennix used his contacts to find out the news, he learned that the three people had died of murder.

"Outside, we have nothing to do with the murderer. If they dare to kill, it means they have something to rely on. The only way to judge them is to invite them to this island."

"So, have you identified the murderer?" Mayuri asked.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the main hall.

"Oh..." Lavender stopped in her footsteps.

Mayuri's expression softened a little.

Behind the armor, Bay Yeh held up her own pistol, Lian Qingyi had a bloody hole between her eyebrows, and fell to the ground, her face full of doubts until she died.

Of course, Raynicks will give advance notice to give these people time to prepare.Three months before Jasmine came to the island, she received an email from Renix's team. It happened that her job was not going well at the time, so she resigned, sorted out her things, and came directly to Yamujima.

This instead made Mayuri sneer.

Before the bay leaf finished yelling, the arrow shot out like lightning, directly piercing the table where Lavender was hiding, and sank into his chest.

After a while, Mayuri Daida suddenly dropped the food in her hand and looked at the three servants.

"Patriarch, this..." As soon as Lavender opened her mouth, Mayuri waved her hand irritably, "It's already like this, there is nothing to hide. Do you think it is impossible to tell? Or is there something else hidden? This There are only six of you servants on Wajima, I know it's strange."

The murderer was invited to this island?The death of the servants is an external factor?So who is that mint she saw on the island?Is there anyone else on this island?Or who created an illusion for her?

With Mayuri's shout, the card quickly transformed into a thin and sharp scalpel, piercing through the neck of the armor.Following this piercing, the opponent's move to draw the bow stopped immediately.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Justina, but I think there is a mole among us."

On October [-]th, after the storm enveloping Hachime Island faded, the transport ship that routinely delivered supplies to the island discovered a shocking case on the island.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door, this time on the hall door.

The other four came a bit later, but not too much. It took about a month before and after, and when July was approaching, the training of the servants had all ended.After the training was over and all the servants were familiar with the various affairs on the island, Renix gave them a ten-day vacation to go home and settle the situation at home in order to prepare for the arrival of family members and guests on the island in September. welcome ceremony.During this period of getting along, the nine servants have already become friends.After all, the people that Raynix specially selects for funding always have some shining advantages, and they get along very well.

Afterwards, everyone heard a slight sound from the door of the hall, and the wind squeezed in through the crack of the door, making a distorted whistle.Visitors stand outside, illuminated by lights in the hall.

Lenix Howard, the founder of the world-renowned Howard Foundation, died on the island, and his children, guests and island servants who were invited to the island all died on the island.Except for the butler Escher and one guest Kagabo, the rest were all confirmed dead through on-site autopsy and DNA comparison.

Justina jumped up suddenly, raising the gun in her hand.But at this moment, she found that Bay Leaf's body was perfectly blocked by the armor, and she couldn't hit the opponent at all.But after the fright just now, her feet were still a little soft.

"Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhai are back." Lavender smiled, "I'll go and open the door."

Because there is nothing under the helmet.

"Wait a minute." Mayuri stood up, clenched the pistol tightly, "Come back at this time? I think there is a problem, so ask first."

"That's what father said?"

For most recent graduates, this is even an excellent opportunity.Even from the most realistic point of view, the experience of serving the founder of the Howard Consortium is a glamorous touch on the resume. Even if the position of "servant" is written, it will not be regarded as an ordinary servant.

The arrow pierced Justina's chest and took her life.

However, after the ten-day vacation, three people did not come back.

Justina gave up her occult knowledge and began to think about what it should be from an ordinary perspective.Just then, she heard a gunshot.

"That's not true, ma'am, would you please calm down?"

Lian Qingyi and Yue Guiye nodded and walked forward.Lian Qingyi grabbed the helmet and glanced at it, but did not find any blood on the place where the scalpel was pierced.

"Actually...we are all people who have been sponsored by Mr. Renix." Jasmine began to tell.

"What is this..." Lian Qingyi exclaimed softly.

"This... this..."

Lightning flashed through the window, and the headless armor raised its bow and stood there.The rest of the people in the hall looked at the armor with pale faces, unable to say anything.

"Who!" Mayuri yelled at the door.

Among the people present, Justina was obviously a little confused by the things in front of her. As a friend of Reinix, she naturally understood that Reinix knew some supernatural things, and she herself also dabbled in this aspect .She can accept the punishment caused by Mayuri, but this time the ghost armor attack has exceeded her acceptable range.

He violently took off the helmet, but he staggered and almost fell to the ground.Everyone's eyes widened and they looked under the helmet.Even if the scalpel lost its support and fell to the ground, no one took a look.

"go to hell!"

"No, Mr. Rennix said that he can only determine the scope of one suspect, so we have to make the real judgment. In addition, he can't know what the other party's motive for killing the three servants is. There's some odd reason for that."

The former is a human and the latter is a ghost.

"You are almost right about one thing, that is, I am indeed interested in the legacy of Mr. Raynix. However, I will not kill Mr. Raynix. This is a fundamental matter of position."

"Don't panic! Take your weapons, everyone, it must be a bad guy!" Mayuri Daita had already started to walk slowly, using the sofa as a cover for herself, and the rest of the people also started to find suitable hiding places.

"Then, let me tell you." Jasmine took a step forward nervously, "We really should tell the patriarch what happened this time."

how is this possible?There was really nothing there just now!
"You...you are a ghost...you have long..."

Justina saw the other party put the helmet back on top of the armor.

The hall fell into silence for a moment, only the sound of the howling wind outside.

"We... this is not a machine, is it?"

No one answered.

"Magic often has a lot of flaws, but the magician's technique is good enough to hide it. I didn't put much effort to hide it, because only debunking the technique is the enlightenment in such a story. But unfortunately, the elimination method If so, Lian Qingyi is..."

"But it should be... Could it be the murderer?" Lian Qingyi also opened the safety of the gun, "He finally came to kill us! He, or them?"

"Not yet, the killing on the island is faster than we thought..."

Just as Justina was about to refute, she saw the armor move again.

Laurel Leaf hung the shoulder of the armor, and poked her head out slightly to confirm Justina's death.

Due to the long time of death, numerous crime scenes, and the existence of factors such as artificially moving corpses, it is difficult to restore the truth of all the events that happened on Yame Island, and no written records were found on the island to record what happened at that time. things.Currently, the Howard Consortium is temporarily inherited by Lynnwood Howard's daughter, 17-year-old Lista Howard. Can such a young child control this huge consortium and reorganize the property belonging to the seven children of Raynix? ?

The sea wind howled, and a glass bottle was hit on the shore by the waves.

[When you read this letter, I should be dead.

My name is Bayleaf, which is, of course, a code name.I am a servant on Hachime Island.
