Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1093 Rupture
This time, no one answered Zhai Jingqiu's words.As soon as Lynwood, who was more willing to take charge, died, obvious differences immediately appeared in the crowd that had been barely united before.

"I didn't hear anything." In the end, Huo Yinglong spoke, "That's what we want to ask. There are many magicians and people with sharp eyes and ears present, and they should be alert when they sleep at night. So how do people Killed without a sound? Even if we don't discuss who the murderer is, but look at the way those people died—"

Almost all death will cause great pain, as long as it is not fatal instantly, there will definitely be a struggle, at least the voice for help can always come out, right?

"Lynwood can do magic...and he is the head of the family, and ordinary magicians can't fight against him." Miria suddenly stood up, with a sad expression on her face, "It is absolutely impossible to kill him with magic. Possibly, like, like father! So something else!"

"Do you want to say capable person?" Dimitri looked at Miria, "Just like you?"

Miria's face turned pale in an instant.

"Brother has shown me your abilities. Superpowers do exist in the world. That doesn't seem to be the same system as magic." Dimitri said indifferently, "So I don't know... what kind of people with superpowers are? What can be done? But because you are Lynwood's wife, I believe you. Can you say anything at this point?"

"You doubt me?"

"After all, you are the only person with superpowers I know." Dimitri was a little aggressive, "And there were only four of us at the time. Now that Lynwood is dead and Jack is dead, is it my turn to be the next one? gone?"

Under the tremendous mental pressure, many people's judgments have also become more extreme. Maybe this is what Watanabe Fuko called "crazy value".But Lu Ning didn't want the island to get out of control so quickly.

"I think it would be better for those involved not to hold each other accountable, or it will probably turn into an argument, Mr. Dimitri, don't forget the house rules."

"I didn't forget, so I'm just asking." Dimitri took a deep breath, "But you're right, doctor, I should calm down... Tsk."

"Everyone, is it true that every person on duty at night was found dead in the room when someone woke up during the day?" Lu Ning asked.

Everyone nodded in confirmation.

"So according to everyone's thinking, should the murderer be the person in the room, or the only one who didn't live with everyone last night?" Lu Ning asked.

"Are you going to take the suspicion on yourself?" Compared to Miria, Saotome Arisa had a calm expression, "With all due respect, even if you do kill the doctor, at most you will kill one or two. One Use six methods to kill six people under our noses at night, if you have this method, we are afraid that we will all die."

"Oh? What do you think, madam?"

"It's very simple. I don't think the same group of people killed yesterday." Saotome Arisa looked at everyone coldly, "So everyone's suspicions are equal. Hidden, no one will find out. These people... hmph, I'm afraid they encountered some reason yesterday and had to take action."

"Then, who are the murderers? Why are there so many people trying to kill people!" Schlitt was already huddled on the sofa in fear.

"I don't know about others, but didn't Watanabe Fuko leave a death message?" Saotome Arisa raised her hand sharply, "The gesture she made before she died was to hold the violin with one hand and hold the violin with the other hand." What does Qin Gong look like? Xingong Qianxia!"

After about five seconds, the bewildered violinist turned his head slightly and made a puzzled voice: "Huh?"

"It's useless to play dumb, Watanabe Yuanko has already hinted that you killed her! Even if you have some secret means of killing, you can't get up and play with the corpse, so there is no way to stop her from leaving a death message, right? ?”

Xingong Qianxia looked puzzled, she raised her hand to look at her own, and then said: "Her posture is not the standard posture for holding the piano and bow."

"Are you defending yourself?" Huo Yinglong said with a frown, "This is not a strong counterattack. Watanabe Fuko didn't learn the violin, and she can't put on such a professional posture."

"But it doesn't necessarily look like a violin." Zhai Jingqiu said.

"Really?" Saotome Arisa glanced at Zhai Jingqiu, but she didn't even refute.

This is not an endorsement of Zhai Jingqiu's statement, but that there is no trust relationship anymore.

"I don't think there is any problem with Lynwood's thinking." Felicia said, "Now we are in the light, and the murderer is hiding in the dark. Gathering together and trying to protect everyone by spying on each other, it just doesn't seem to be the way to go at the moment."

"So? You want to suggest that everyone keep their own way?" Huo Yinglong asked.

"Of course! I think it's good for everyone to protect themselves in the way they are best at. The magician's agreement now seems to just keep us tied up, and it can't stop killing at all. Then, in turn, we each arrange our own positions. If Anyone who dares to break in will be shot!" Felicia said immediately.

"It's really in line with your personality." Cynthia snorted, "But I don't object."

"I have no problem." Dimitri wiped his face vigorously.

"Wait, before that, I think there is something else that should be resolved!" Miria suddenly called out to everyone.

"what's up?"

"That awl on Mayuri! Didn't you see it? It's the same style as when I killed my father! Someone brought it out of my father's room!"

This is indeed the second awl.The first one was still on Renix's body, and this one was indeed the one taken out of the box. Now there were only six awls in the box.

And this situation made everyone feel more uneasy.

No one would think that the awl would only kill members of the Howard family, because the other two dead last night—Linewood and Juno Ito—were not pierced by the awl, so there were already two fewer places.Even if Miria and Saotome Arisa are added, the number is just right.However, who would dare to bet on such an unfounded thing?

"It looks like we have to pack this thing up." Orlando buckled the box again and locked it. "Even if it's just for prevention, we have to prevent someone from using this to kill people."

"Hmph, even without this, if you really want to kill people, don't just pick up a knife in the kitchen?" Kagabo said displeased.

"That's not necessarily the case. Now it seems that using an awl to kill people seems to have a certain purpose, at least it's a kind of 'sense of ritual' for serial killers, and it won't be easily given up." Zhai Jingqiu shook his head.

"That means we can actually use this thing to catch the murderer out?" Arisa Saotome asked.

"Yes, it's probably possible. Even if the murderer heard it now, he might think it was a provocation... This is based on my experience." Zhai Jingqiu said.

"Okay, then keep this box for me." Saotome Arisa held out her hand to Orlando.

Many people were a little surprised.

"Mrs. Ito, I know you are eager for revenge now, but... this thing is not something that ordinary people can keep well!" Lian Qingyi said hastily, "You also know that the murderer will take this thing. It is not impossible to kill casually..."

"I'd like to see how the murderer killed me 'casually'." Saotome Arisa frowned, "Dr. Lu did not have an accident yesterday, which proves that the murderer may not have such a strong ability."

"Hehe, whether you are strong or not depends on who you are... Forget it." Dimitri shook his head, "I am not Lynwood, and I am not going to force you to live together. Since everyone has their own plans, I only have one The requirement is that everyone gather at the lobby of the main building by noon every day, and let us know that everyone is still alive. There are sufficient supplies in the museum, and the next boat to pick us up will be on October 15th. The storm is probably over, until then, everyone save their lives."

"If Lynwood is still alive, I'm afraid he will say that he has misjudged." Miria stared at Dimitri, "As the temporary head of the house, you actually..."

"Milia, you shouldn't regard me and Lynwood as the same kind of people. I respect you very much. I know that after you married your elder brother, you have devoted yourself to running the Howard family's business as your own responsibility. You will There is a strong sense of honor in being part of the family...but you have to respect me too, I prefer sunshine, adventure, and an air of freedom to rotting away on a dark island that is constantly private. "

After saying this, Dimitri scratched his hair.

"I canceled the punishment of the family rules, you can do whatever you want, don't hold back."

After speaking, he turned around, took an umbrella and left the hall.

"This guy actually gave up his responsibility just like that..." Orlando shook his head in disappointment.

Unexpectedly, Cynthia sneered: "Abandon responsibility? Mr. Orlando, don't think of Dimitri so lightly. Among us brothers and sisters, he is the best in acting."

"Since Dimitri isn't going to take care of these things, you'd better look forward to your own luck." Felicia shook her head, "Although you are guests of Howard's family, we can't protect ourselves from the current situation. Not to mention keeping everyone safe."

"Felicia, is it not good to say that..." Subbia reminded in a low voice.

"Under this situation, it is irresponsible to everyone to conceal it. We really have no ability to help everyone. All the servants are dead, and the temporary master is not here. Please forgive me." Felicia said.

At this time, Lu Ning looked around.

"Speaking of which . . . where is Jason? Where is he?"

"Jason was locked in the cabinet in the room by us." Orlando replied, "It's tied up firmly, and his magic book is also handed over to Lynwood's team for safekeeping. I checked this morning, and he is still tied up. ,still sleeping."

"Why don't you ask him." Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Since he was turned into a devil worshiper by Mr. Renix, maybe his position is also very important."

"I'll go with you." Orlando looked at the others, and only Huo Yinglong and Zhai Jingqiu wanted to go there together.

Four people went to pull the man out of the cabinet, and Orlando tore off the gag cloth.Jason had already woken up, and he was terrified when he saw a few people coming over.

"We're not keeping it from you." Huo Yinglong squatted down, reached out and patted Jason's face, "Except for this room, people died in other rooms, six of them died. And you, I don't care about you yesterday Did you kill someone, did you hide a magic book on your body, I just want to warn you, there are still many dangerous guys on the island. If you cooperate with us, you still have a chance to live, if you don’t cooperate..."

"How can I trust you! You—"

click!
Huo Yinglong punched back, his fingers pierced the surface of the hardwood cabinet, and a piece of wood broke off with a click.

"If you don't cooperate, you will definitely not survive. I can kill you right now. Don't believe me, I have killed people before, whether by accident or intentionally. There is absolutely no problem wearing a pair."

Jason's lips trembled, and finally asked: "What do you want to know?"

Huo Yinglong turned his head and glanced at Lu Ning, and said, "Doctor, why don't I ask first? I may know more about magic here."

"Please go ahead, I'm just curious." Lu Ning said.

"Thanks." Huo Yinglong reached out and grabbed Jason by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him on the floor that hadn't been put away in the morning.

Jason twisted his body uneasily, but Huo Yinglong was not in a hurry, but searched in the room, and finally took a bronze decoration from the cabinet.

"Jing Qiu, help me take notes. Mr. Orlando, please keep an eye on the door. Doctor Lu, if you think there is anything to add, feel free to ask."

After finishing speaking, he sat down next to Jason, with the decoration on his hand aligned with his hand.

"Don't lie, kid." Huo Yinglong stared at him, "What did my father say when he gave you the magic book, repeat it to me."

"He... he said, 'With this, your wish can come true, as long as you can pay the price'." Jason said in horror.

Huo Yinglong touched the back of his hand with that decoration: "Are you still out of your mind? What I want is cause and effect, so you just tell me a word? My patience is very limited, you only have one chance left. "

Jason felt the cold edge, and his body jerked in fright: "I know! I know! I was looking for a flower and was found out by Mr. Renix! He told me that he could help me find that flower Hua, and I also want to help him with one thing! I thought it would be no problem to come to the island..."

Lu Ning was listening to Jason's words, and felt that there seemed to be some problems with the previous summary.

If music and painting are arts that require high inspiration, then can gardening for cultivating flowers and cooking for food also be considered art?There is really no difference between them in that they require both inspiration and skill.
