Returning from the abyss

Looking at the man in front of him with an unknown face, 【Jason】had already noticed the trickiness of this scene.

After he and Orlando were out early in the last round, the two made plans for the next round.First of all, it is no longer possible to choose the person in the center of the vortex, and the second is to broaden the information channels and verify the information that the tourists knew during the previous discussions.

And in this way, the candidate is actually very easy to decide.He played the role of Kuzumi Hirayama, a long-sleeved accountant who has a good relationship with most people, and this identity is not very critical, and he has ample opportunities to inquire about information about the Howard family from different people.

Orlando chose to play Zhai Jingqiu this time. The identity of a detective is conducive to some authoritative speeches after the murder. At the same time, he can use this identity to dig out the secrets of most people, which can be regarded as a backhand role.

However, what I didn't expect this time was that the characters in the scene came directly with an opening lightning strike.All the servants were killed on the first day, and Renix was sent away on the second day. They really didn't have a chance to breathe, and everyone fell into a tense situation in an instant.

After inquiring about Jason but failed, Lynwood asked the gardener to be guarded, and he and Dimitri went to search the gardener's hut. To be honest, they found something.

In the mezzanine of the wardrobe in the gardener's hut, Lynwood found two books, the titles on which looked very frightening-"Bone Blessing" and "Excerpts from Purgatory Sin Documents".

Lynwood and Dimitri, who brought back these two books, looked very wrong, as if they were planning to kill Jason here.

"What is this?" Schreiter asked a little confused.

"It's a magic book and spell-casting materials." Lionwood threw the things on the table, "This man is a devil worshiper."

"However, his suspicion is relatively light, Lynwood." Miria whispered beside Lynwood, "There should be no one who can kill father by magic on this island."

Han Xizhe was taken aback: "What? This—"

Lu Ning took out the few books she found and put them aside, then walked over and sat on another chair.

Jason froze for a moment.

"We will continue to investigate father's death." Cynthia reached out and pulled Mayuri Daida, and turned to Felicia, "Felicia, do you also accept what Lynwood said?"

"Ah?" Schlitter, Han Xizhe and others all expressed confusion.

"There is nothing that may not exist in a devil worshiper." Lionwood reached out and picked up the book called "Bone Blessing", "Lawyer Han, can you help me read it?"

"Doctor, you don't really understand occultism, do you? It's just hearsay? Then I have to tell you a little common sense." Cynthia raised her eyebrows, "First of all, exclude the special case of superpowers, magical power, spiritual power, elemental power, etc. Such things are not the kind of useful things that are described in essence, they need to be driven by deploying a ritual field, and this ritual field can be simplified as a magic book, a catalyst, and a Materials can be used to cast spells. But it is still necessary to prepare the magic to be released in advance."

"Okay, okay." Orlando opened the book.

"I think ... as unlikely as it may seem to people, it's possible that the father committed suicide," Lynwood said.

"Okay, okay." Cynthia sneered, "I understand."

"Thank you, Mr. Orlando." Lionwood nodded after listening, "Your reward will still be paid to you after we leave the island. As for this guy, I think it's better to lock him up first to prevent him from casting spells." For good."

"You, you all know, you Howards..."

"That's really not fair." Cynthia shook her head, "Huo Yinglong and I planned to find out the cause of our father's death because we wanted to maintain our own autonomy, while Lynwood and the others obviously wanted to grasp the Howard family as soon as possible. What about you? Doctor, there is no neutral statement here, because the relationship between the seven of us is enough to involve everyone, you are either our ally or our enemy."

"That is to say, you can't choose which spells to use?" Lu Ning asked.

"Then you can find the truth by yourself, Huo Yinglong." Lionwood smiled.

"I...impossible, master is dead? How could master die?" Jason's expression suddenly became very ferocious. Just now when Lynwood questioned him, he did not inform him of the news of Renix's death, but now he learned that After hearing the news, the gardener seemed like a different person and started scratching his hair frantically.

Cynthia sighed, threw the gun in her hand on the mattress that had not been put away, and sat down on the chair.

Jason looked left and right at these members of the Howard family, and the madness on his face suddenly turned into panic.

"That's right, they are still ordinary people under normal circumstances. However, limited to the concentration of materials, magic books, and the corresponding special power in the air, the magic power that can be used is not strong, nor does it have strong power... For example, the only spell I have mastered " Cynthia raised her hand, and there was a flash of light in her palm, "This is a magic called a beacon, and I will always be able to see the location of the beacon, unless the marker of the beacon is changed."

The fundamental difference between the two sides was not how Raynix died, they knew it well.Undoubtedly, what Lynwood, Dimitri, Felicia, and Juno Ito want to do now is to find Renix's legacy, so they want to quickly expose his death, while Huo Yinglong, Cynthia and the two were more worried about what kind of backhand Reynix had prepared, and wanted to give priority to solving this problem, so they refused to let it go.

She began to rummage through the bookshelves in the reading room, and after a while, she found several works by Tsuburani Terakura.

"I... I... Master is my guide, what's wrong? Don't you know? You guys, don't his children know what Reinix is ​​researching?" Jason asked Lionwood growling and others.

Cynthia frowned slightly.

"It's better to say that I want to make a deal with you." Cynthia said, "I know you must have your own purpose in coming to this island. Since my father said that, I don't believe that there is no one on this island at all." A person with a purpose. But I think we can cooperate, just like me and Huo Yinglong."

"Because the soul of a devil worshiper is bound to the devil he worships, he will inevitably fall into hell after death." Felicia said with a smile.

"Please don't worry, this kind of book is okay for people who have never learned any magic knowledge to read it, because it can't perceive the magic power on your body, and it won't respond to the recitation. If it is us, it is very likely Will establish a connection with the devil." Lionwood put the book on the table, "Of course, if you don't want to... the rest of you can help if you can. I can pay enough, after all, it is likely to have something to do with my father's death related."

"We were raised by our father, and we have received more education than people like you." Dimitri kicked the decorative statue next to him annoyedly, "Magic is different from superpowers. There is that magic book , we can tell at a glance that you were trained by orthodox magic, it’s just that you were taught and then raised.”

"Father knows demonology well," Cynthia whispered, "but he's more than just demonologists."

"Book." Lu Ning didn't look back, she heard the movement when the man entered the room, but there was no need to see who it was.

"I'm afraid your madness is because your father led you to make a deal from hell?" Huo Yinglong said lightly, "I don't know what happened to you, but based on my father's knowledge, I specially chose demonology as the magical enlightenment for you. , it means that you are not very worthy of saving."

To her, only Renix died the next day, which was considered a better change.

"We have the same big goals, so we can work together, but that doesn't mean we like each other very much," Cynthia said.

"You're quite greedy."

"You don't need a reward..." Orlando stepped forward suddenly, "But I'm a little curious, what kind of magic did you learn from Mr. Renix?"

"It's a pity, Cynthia, Huo Yinglong, I know it's hard for you to accept, but my father's death is indeed as Lynwood said." Felicia said.

"Then I need to know a little more about you. For example, what Renix told you during the family dinner. What magic did you learn. And...what is your goal in the end."

Unfortunately these two things don't seem to be possible at the same time.

The text on the book is written phonetically, so the pronunciation may be slightly inaccurate, but it can still be read out.Lu Ning didn't understand what it meant at all, but she looked at the expressions of the other people, and there were only five people who could clearly understand.

"Mr. Renix does hide a lot of secrets, but for us, we can't interfere with your family's affairs. He invited me here just to be a witness. Even if he dies, the contract is still valid." Lu Ning Pulled a book into his hand, "Do you want to win my support?"

"I thought the two of you agreed, but it doesn't seem certain from the tone of your voice?"

"Oh...as expected of Ms. Cynthia." Lu Ning laughed, "Alright, alright, since you have said so, let me say one thing, I am here for the Howard family's occult knowledge."

"Or you don't need to talk about yours, your brothers and sisters, whoever you want." Lu Ning said, "I'm just getting information, you can do whatever you want, anyway, I can't tell you my goal."

"Sorry, I can't accept this explanation." Huo Yinglong shook his head, "I don't think my father will commit suicide."

"They don't even know what kind of person their father is!" Cynthia said angrily, "Or they know clearly, but they are dazzled by the things in front of them!"

It can be said that the two parties broke up unhappy, and many of the remaining people even didn't know who to follow for a while.Han Xizhe and a few others left secretly, seeming to have their own thoughts about the Howard family's inheritance, while Lu Ning simply returned to the reading room where she slept last night, and she could not interfere with the change in the atmosphere.

"Hehehe, I really didn't expect Renix to recruit such a person to his side. What does he want to do?" Kagabo sneered, "A devil worshiper, haha, a devil worshiper. Maybe Renix was the one who killed him! "

Due to the existence of family rules, they will not fight, but everyone can see that the divisions between these children have begun.

"Well, why don't you let me listen to your transaction content."

"Renix is ​​dead, and all of us have seen his body." Gustav said coldly, "Now, would you like to tell me why you have these two books, and what is the relationship with Renix? ?”

"But in this case, who is the murderer who killed my father?" Huo Yinglong asked.

"What did you say?" Cynthia sneered, "Suicide? This is not an occasion for joking."

"Profession?"

Lynwood didn't answer, and the rest of them didn't mean to answer either.

"Very distressed?"

"It seems that you still think it's a secret?" Lu Ning chuckled, "Howard's family history doesn't seem to be a problem, but as long as someone who understands some occult studies it, it's not a secret. It's true. I don’t know enough about the strength of Howard’s family. How about you? Do you care about this?”

"Hmph... well. Then I can tell you something you want to know. For example, don't you want to know what my father said to us before? I can tell you what he told me—he told me How should I complete my career."

"Then your beacon probably landed on Dolores?" Lu Ning asked.

"The so-called rule out all the impossible, the rest is the right choice. Since no one can easily kill father, then the only one who can kill father is himself, and only he can use the magic props prepared in his room to kill himself ’” Lynwood said, “As to why the father committed suicide, that’s another thing we’re looking for answers to.”

"What are you looking for?" Someone suddenly spoke from behind.

"Of course I know." Lynwood laughed. "Are you questioning me—the interim patriarch of the Howard family? Then I can tell you that your knowledge of your father is limited to what you know yourself."

Lynwood, Gustav, Justina, Kagabo, and... Mayuri Daita.

"It was before going to the island." Cynthia leaned back on the chair, "but it changed afterward."

After going to the island, Dolores was always by Cynthia's side, so there was no need for a beacon.

"You don't need to ask me who I gave the beacon to, and don't ask me if I know the details of Dolores. I won't tell you about these...I just want to prove the existence of magic to you."

"So, what does complementing mean?"

"Because we can't store the corresponding energy, we can only use the thin power in the air to cast spells. We learn magic, but we don't have a mana pool. My father told me that the way to get a mana pool is on this island." Cynthia said.
