Returning from the abyss

In the evening, Lu Ning continued to read Tsuburani Terakura's works.

Compared with the previous two books, the relationship between the two books "Ten Days in Rosemont Town" and "The Disappearing Clear Sky" has become more hidden.According to Tsuburani Temple Kong's records, Rosemont Town is just a small town with weird local customs, but as long as you get along well with the old people in it, find ways to communicate with young people more, and you have a higher EQ, you can get along well. Had a great time.

But in "The Disappearing Sky", the protagonist and his party have become a classic small team of death-a group of college students on a graduation trip chose to travel by car, but got lost and drove into an unknown town.The team that entered the town at night suddenly found that there is no day in this town, and the eternal night is accompanied by eternal clouds, and there is no natural light source that can shine here.

And if someone carefully sorts out the timeline, the places where events happened, and so on, they can find that almost all the plots in these two books can be nested together.

"Most of the friendships in Rosemont are during the day, and there are only two visits to other people's houses at night, and the group of college students in "The Disappearing Clear Sky" has been staying at night, and they have encountered all kinds of weird things. Hmm ...The location does not correspond exactly, which actually makes sense." Lu Ning thought secretly.

"The Disappearing Clear Sky" may not be Tsuburaya Terakura's own experience, but he has witnessed the experience of others, just like what he is doing now.Tsuburaya Temple Sora was just a bystander at that time.In other words, now Lu Ning doubts that these books are not novels at all, and they may all be regarded as documentary literature.

"Lu Ning, please be on duty overnight." Cynthia walked over at this time and said, "Wake me up in two hours to change shift."

"Don't worry." Lu Ning patted a pot of coffee beside her hands, "I also often stay up late."

Xingong Qianxia was also on duty with Lu Ning, but this lady just stared at the ceiling in a daze, sometimes people thought she was asleep with her eyes open.She was sitting on a chair by the door, with her violin in her arms, without a bow, and motionless.

Lu Ning put her tablet aside, and poured herself a cup of coffee from a cup.

"The food at noon yesterday was delivered by Gustav, and in the evening it was delivered by Lynwood. Neither of these two people cares about people who step on the floor with their shoes on. The corridor carpet in Howard's house is relatively soft, and there are usually servants. Clean it repeatedly, so it won't be more messy. When I came to check yesterday afternoon, I could still see the traces of Gustave's footprints."

The fact that the outside was cleaned can also be interpreted as the fact that the murderer did not want to leave his own footprint information and cleaned it specially. In fact, the shallow marks that can be left here cannot be used to infer footprints at all.

It is undeniable that Dimitri's plan can cause great difficulties for ordinary murderers, but it is only for "ordinary" murderers. Whether it is a tourist or the person who did it on the first night of this round, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. How ordinary.

"Mr. Renix is ​​dead. I need a few people to help me check the scene. In addition, I should inform the Howard family, gentlemen and ladies, that it is time for them to discuss the issue of inheritance."

Lu Ning picked up her medical box, stood up and walked to the door, and whispered to Watanabe Fukoko, "I'll go to Renix for an examination, and by the way, ask him what he thinks about the next thing."

Lu Ning was kind and generous: "Cynthia, do you know that Jack Swan and Yukuji Sora knew each other in the past?"

Lu Ning turned her head slightly and looked backward. If she looked carefully, she could still see a row of shallow marks on the carpet where she walked over.This kind of mark can be smoothed out with a vacuum cleaner without much effort, but if no one takes care of it, it will stay like this.

On the one hand, destroying the abilities of other tourists will make everything more "realistic", while on the other hand, using your own abilities will make things more "mysterious".

"Thanks."

"Do you want someone to go with you?"

"Mr. Renix, I'm Lu Ning, and I'm here to give you a health checkup today."

On the last shift, Fuko Watanabe and Mayuri Daida were guarding the gate. When they saw Lu Ning wake up, they just nodded slightly, and they could see a little tiredness in their expressions.

Renix sat at his desk, leaning back in his chair, his head drooping slightly.Generally speaking, this position may be falling asleep.However, Lu Ning could clearly tell that Reynix was dead.

After she checked the scene and walked out, she found that the situation outside had become more tense than before.

However, Lu Ning knew that this was the most abnormal murder scene.She couldn't even estimate how strong Reinix was. If it wasn't for the fact that some tourists controlled Reinix so that he couldn't use his abilities, then no one would be able to kill him silently through supernatural power. The normal way would be more difficult.

"It's very early, maybe the Howard family has already invested in him when he published his first book, but I don't remember this kind of thing clearly." Cynthia said, "If you can still connect to the external network, you can check it. business records of the publisher."

"When did this happen?"

According to the previously decided setting of playing a coroner who is not very capable, this time Lu Ning just said the time of death and other information, and did not give anything more.

Will anyone kill someone tonight?

"understood."

"I don't know about Jack Swan, but I know a little about Tsuburani Terakura. The company that publishes him has capital injection from the Howard family, and it is not a simple financial investment. The family sent people to participate in the operation. In theory, he You should have known the Howard family a long time ago."

It's a... perfectly normal-looking murder scene.

Creating an alibi is only the most basic method, and the abilities endowed by the distribution center can be used in various ways. For example, Lu Ning's curse murder can even be carried out in front of everyone if there is some preparation. After all, the only trigger point is "" Light the candle" is just an action.

"Well, there's no need to find out so clearly." Lu Ning waved her hand, "It's enough to know that there is such a thing. As for the exact time, it's not too important now."

After a period of slight confusion, Lu Ning began to inspect Reinix.The time of death was obvious last night, and the deadly weapon was also the rune dagger. Everyone soon found out the source of the dagger. Eight handles, one of which was used as a murder weapon, while the other seven handles were still placed in the box.

Now is actually a good opportunity for tourists. Successful killing again under such strict precautions will undoubtedly make one's ability an unsolved mystery, and the more people panic, the fewer people have the ability to think it is an ordinary murderer .

In the corridor from the first floor to the third floor, because everyone had to decorate the house yesterday, many traces had been left on the ground, and although not many people walked by on the fourth floor, the traces would not be easily removed.Her strange feeling came from the fact that she had just left the slightly traced corridor on the floor below, and came here to see the ground that had obviously been cleaned.

"What's the situation? A shot was fired?" Cynthia grabbed the shotgun in her hand reflexively, and she was relieved when she saw that the door was still in good condition.Lu Ning shrugged, seeing that everyone was awake, she said in a normal voice, "It's thundering, it was a thunderstorm just now."

To decipher the tourist's ability, the absolute particularity of the ability needs to disappear.

She doesn't really like to drink this stuff, but it does work for her.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Ning got up and straightened her hair.

"Doctor? What's the matter?"

As soon as she stepped into this corridor, Lu Ning felt something strange.Whether it was as Renix last time or as doctor Lu Ning this time, she has walked through this corridor many times, and she is quite familiar with it.Although the corridor looks the same as usual, Lu Ning intuitively feels that something is wrong.

Lu Ning opened the door and walked out of the house. The air in the corridor was a little cloudy. Yesterday, because the wind and rain were heavier, they closed the doors and windows.It would indeed be a lot more stuffy without the servants getting up in the morning to clean and ventilate.

"Okay. By the way, Ms. Cynthia..."

After she finished speaking, she turned the doorknob and walked in.

The weather in the last round seems to be different from this round, at least there was still a little rain before, but now it has been raining for more than a day.

"Drifting in the Nameless Sea" can be seen from the name as a sea travel diary, a record of a sea journey, and this journey is not a simple cruise ship or caravan. A ship of a treasure hunting adventure party.If some people still questioned the first two books, then the adventure team in this travel book is a real witness. Because of this, no one questioned the authenticity of the trip after that.

Fourth floor, the hallway leading to Renix's room.

"No, I'm bringing the gun with me." Lu Ning patted her waist, "If I don't come back in a while, you can play by ear. Cynthia is quite reliable."

But halfway through the book, the fleet met two adventurers on an unnamed island, and Lu Ning saw a familiar name here——Jack Swan.

Lu Ning did not touch the corpse, but retreated, walked to the stairs, and shouted, "Orlando, are you still there?"

When Lu Ning stretched out her hand to hold the doorknob, she felt that it could be easily turned.

For example, in the duel between her and Mayuri Daida, the shot she hit on the glass created a huge hole in the relatively closed environment of "Rainix's room", which made the person who used the rope to hang the people in the room The means have various possibilities of completion.Of course, this is not enough, it also needs to be judged by the first discoverer later.

She slowed down, tentatively stepping forward step by step, the carpet absorbed the sound, until she came to the door of Lennix's room, everything was silent.

After changing shifts, Lu Ning also fell asleep quickly.Of course she wasn't going to kill anyone today, and she even had a glimmer of expectation for what would happen tomorrow.

It's impossible for Renix to clean it up by himself, right?

When a scene is deemed to be an "assault humanly capable of, only we failed to find the killer", the specificity of the ability is mortally impaired if the killer does not make amends afterwards - or refute ——Then this ability will also be completely useless.Conversely, the more people feel at the scene that "manpower is difficult to complete such a murderous act", the safer that ability will be.Of course, for those who want to destroy their ability, they must do precisely targeted destruction. For example, if they destroy the method of hiding the murder weapon with the guidance of deciphering the killing method, it will not have any impact on the ability.

Lu Ning went upstairs with the medical kit, just as Orlando upstairs had already woken up. He was standing at the door holding a cigarette as if he was about to smoke. Seeing Lu Ning coming up and nodding slightly to her, Lu Ning also said good morning , and continued upstairs.

It seems that there are some contradictions in the goals of tourists.

The patriarch of the Edward family clasped his hands and fingers, placed them on his abdomen, leaned back slightly, and a clear fatal wound appeared on his heart. It was a delicate rune dagger, the handle was still Wrapped with white scripture cloth.This dagger has no blood groove, and a dark red blood stain has solidified around the wound, but there is no sign of spraying out.

There was lightning and thunder outside the window again, but this time it was farther away, and the rolling thunder echoed in the air. Although no one was really afraid of thunder, at this moment they felt a kind of fear like a catastrophe was enveloping the island.

Lu Ning took a sip of coffee, and then continued to read.

When Lu Ning was thinking about the connection between Jack and Tsuburuta Sora, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by a thunderous explosion, awakening everyone in the room instantly.

"What the hell... Forget it, I'm awake anyway." Cynthia curled her lips, "Go to sleep, Dolores and I will be on the next shift."

Therefore, the scene of being killed without resistance is the most abnormal.

On this, Watanabe Fuko may be playing tricks more professionally.

"Just call me by my name, don't waste too much time on titles."

Lynwood and Miria were standing by the window, and the other children were not far from the door. No one showed any sadness on their faces, and some only had guard against their own brothers and sisters.

"Who killed father?" Huo Yinglong said with a sullen face, "Who can kill father?"

"It's better to use my father's collection...it's not an easy way." Dimitri said with a sneer, "I'm afraid the things my father collected are not ordinary things."

"Lynwood, you should be the temporary patriarch now." Felicia's eyes were complicated, "You need to take responsibility."

"Of course I will be responsible." Ryan Wood said coldly, "Where is Jason? We don't allow anyone to stand alone, so let's gather everyone together first."
