Returning from the abyss

It wasn't until evening that Lista ordered Ou Baizhi to send her back after dinner.

During the return journey, Lista didn't say a word to Ou Baizhi, she just looked out of the window in a daze, and didn't thank her until the car stopped, and got out of the car.

The meeting hall is located at the highest point of the island, on the mountain in the north.Lista didn't go back to the house immediately, but stood outside and looked down from the top of the mountain for a while.Just when Lu Ning felt that she had been standing for a long time, she raised her hand, with the palm facing up, her thumb pointing to the second joint of the index finger, and the other four fingers pointing flat to the distance.Five seconds after she made this gesture, some fine light spots rose from the other seven directions of the island and floated into the sky.

That's where the annex is.

After Lista looked at the positions of those light spots, she put down her hand, and those light spots disappeared with her movements.Afterwards, Lista walked into the meeting hall.

"Back?" There was a smile on Lionwood's face, and Miria looked at Lista gently.

"It seems that Uncle Dimitri has been here." Lista glanced at the hanger by the door, "They left in a hurry."

"Yeah, originally we planned to talk more, but the weather didn't seem very good." Lynwood said with some regret, "He was afraid that it would be rainy and it would be difficult to leave, so he left in a hurry. By the way, he took Your companion is Jack Swan, I don’t know if you still remember?”

"I remember, Uncle Jack gave me a birthday present." Lista said, "Just now I found out that my mobile phone can't receive external signals. Do you know what happened?"

"The signals on the island are all down, not just you," Lynwood said.

"Father seems to have some plans of his own." Miria said worriedly, "Lynwood, maybe it's not a good idea for us to insist on letting Lista come here?"

"What are you afraid of? I will protect you." Lionwood patted Miria on the back. "Whoever dares to touch you must deal with me first."

"Don't be brave, Lynwood." Miria grabbed Lynwood's hand, "If there is any danger, I will take you to hide together, and no one will find us."

"Father, why did you foresee the danger, but still want to come?" Lista asked suddenly.

"Of course it is because this is the rule of the Howard family." Lynwood said naturally, "As the eldest son of the Howard family, do I have to avoid this kind of danger that is only possible? This danger is accompanied by great opportunities .”

"You think you are better than your grandfather?"

"No, my father is far superior to me in many fields, but I am still young enough, and my father is already old."

Lista didn't ask any more questions, but went upstairs and returned to her room. She hung the suit on the hanger in the room, and flicked it lightly with her hand, Lu Ning felt that the suit and the door seemed to be forming. some links.Then, Lista sat down at the table and took out the envelope.

This envelope called "Desperate Express" Lu Ning also saw Lista use it. The letter paper inside it has functions such as rubbing and storage. According to her guess, it should be a magic related to "storing ether". thing.

Lista quickly released all the items sealed inside.Includes a replica of a spellbook, two potions, a handwritten sheet of music, a quill, a landscape, a small voodoo doll, a pendant made from bullet casings, and two impromptu writing sheets. Just the recipe.

During the afternoon's conversation, Lista accurately caught the highly inspired aliens summoned here by Renix, including Kagabo and Orlando—indeed, these two people don't know magic, Kaka Jiabo has no other special identity, and Orlando's identity as a bodyguard seems a bit redundant, so the possibility that they are also high-inspired people is indeed higher, and Lista helped them save this verification step.

But... another eight servings.

What happened on Hachimejima never seemed to break away from this number, and it happened to be eight when one of the supposed nine servants failed to come.

Lista thought about those things for a long time, but it was a pity that Lu Ning couldn't spy on her thoughts.

When it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, it started to rain outside the window.

Seeing that it was raining outside, Lista suddenly stood up and opened the window.She reached out the window and caught a few drops of rain.The rain fell on her palm, and suddenly began to twist slowly, some red threads began to separate from the clear liquid, trying to grab Lista's palm.But then, they seemed to realize that their appearance seemed inappropriate, and suddenly they burst and disappeared.

But this time, Lista finally didn't have everything under control as before, and she asked the question that Lu Ning really felt that she had "doubts" for the first time so far: "What is this thing? "

But of course no one answered her.

Lista grabbed the water on her hand, the water flowed from between her fingers, just wet her palm, everything just seemed to be an illusion.

"Grandfather, you..."

As soon as the conversation started, Lista turned around immediately, as if she was vigilant about what was in the room, and at the same time put all the things on the table into the envelope.Naturally, there was nothing in the room, and Lu Ning knew that everything should be safe until the night of the family dinner.

Of course, she also knew why Lista was so vigilant, because the suit connected to the door shook slightly just now.

Lu Ning suddenly understood Lista's current mood.

She knows more and is more talented than others, and she is probably second only to Renix in magic, but because of this, she can feel more crisis and pressure than ordinary people. The eve of a family gathering was already a thorn in the back for Lista.

"come out."

Lista snorted coldly, but in Lu Ning's view, this was already a sign that she had lost her composure.

"Sneak into my room, don't you plan to come out?" Lista pressed the envelope on the table with her backhand, and looked around the room again. Using a little force with her fingers, she grabbed the envelope in her hand, and quickly pulled out the letter inside to read. glance.

Lu Ning and Lista felt the same way. When Lista glanced over the letter paper, she also saw the words on the letter paper.

[Owner of the room: Lista Howard (temporarily)

Visitor: ███, who entered the room a while ago, is now in the dark.

WARNING: Severe interference detected.

WARNING: //// Error message found, removed ////
WARNING: WARNING OFF

Current status: normal]

Lu Ning almost broke out in a cold sweat, especially after experiencing the last scene, these abnormal states are still fresh in her memory.Of course, Lista was even more terrified. Fortunately, her natural rationality could help her suppress this panic. After seeing the abnormal record on the paper, Lista stretched out her finger almost without hesitation, and from her own Swipe down between the eyebrows——

"Chaos Ether!"

The pain, as if cutting herself apart, was transmitted to Lu Ning's perception instantly, but she didn't feel it as strongly as Lista.Lista squatted down directly, a ray of blood flowed down from between her eyebrows, and everything in the room was cut from top to bottom at the same time, and like Lista, she only suffered some minor injuries Compared with other things, no matter what the material is, they are directly divided into two.

However, Lu Ning still can't control Lista, which means that Lista is still in a fighting state and cannot switch.But having said that, even if she could switch, it would be difficult for her to think of any good countermeasures in the current state.

After cutting the entire room, Lista obviously realized that the threat of breaking into the room was not killed. She raised her finger again and tapped on her heart.A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and this time, an explosion immediately occurred on all objects.

The frantic blast blasted the entire room into pieces. Both the tables, chairs and beds were blown into pieces. The light bulb was shaken and completely extinguished. The whole room suddenly became pitch black. becomes very conspicuous.

Fluorescent is two meters tall, and it seems to have several arms, the last one of which is about to grab Lista's head. The explosion just now obviously had an effect. Not only was it forced to appear, but even its movements froze. air.

"Familiar..." Lista squeezed out a word between her teeth. Casting magic twice in a row obviously put a lot of burden on her body.Lu Ning can be regarded as a half-baked magic apprentice now. According to what she has read and actual experience, most of the spells that magicians usually prepare are more general-purpose spells, such as acceleration, concealment, and recovery spells. And the magic that Lista prepared was actually an extremely aggressive area-of-effect magic, so there was no doubt that she was rushing to kill something.

At the same time, the identity of the familiar in front of him is also a mystery.The last familiar that Lu Ning saw was released by Lynwood to the area of ​​Yamu Island with the help of the temporary patriarch, but that familiar only had the function of monitoring, the magic was the attack launched by Lynwood himself, otherwise it would be impossible to It will end after a few attacks - because only magicians have this situation when the prepared magic is exhausted.

This red fluorescent familiar is aggressive. Can such a familiar magician create it?
"go to hell!"

After Lista took a few breaths, she stretched out her fingers again, this time across her neck, and swiped vigorously from left to right.

A whistling sound like a sharp blade piercing the air passed through the air, and there seemed to be the sound of blood spurting out, and then the top section of the red fluorescent light was cut neatly, the huge magic power dissipated immediately, and the familiar also disappeared in the invisible.

Lista coughed up a mouthful of blood, her knees softened, and she fell to her knees on the ground. At this moment, Lynwood knocked open the door, hurriedly supported Lista, and shouted: "Milia, hurry up!" Go get my bag! I'll heal!"

"immediately!"

"Lista! How are you? I want to come in, but the door is blocked. Something came in your room? Don't move! Don't lie down!"

Lista coughed up another mouthful of blood, then nodded slightly to Lynwood: "I'm fine, father."

"You wait for me to treat you first."

Lynwood quickly prepared a simple magic ceremony. After Milia brought the bag, he took out a bottle of colorful balls like candy, and he took out a white and a green ball from inside. The ball was placed in Lista's palm, and then the magic book on her body was activated to release healing magic.

Compared to others, the magic Lynwood mastered was of the "Evocation" type, just like what he used when he attacked Lu Ning in the last round. It may be less targeted, but it is better than everything.

Under the gentle healing light, Lista finally recovered from the pain in her body. She spit out the remaining blood in her mouth, and then let Milia help her wipe off the blood on her body.

"Okay." Lionwood heaved a sigh of relief, looked around the room, helped Lista out of the room, and moved to a small living room next to it.

"Lista, what happened just now?"

"Father, this island is very wrong." Lista regained her previous composure, "The one who attacked me just now should be a combat familiar, and the complexity of this familiar should not be low. Who on the island can create such a familiar."

"what do you mean……"

"Let's leave, father, there must be a way to find a way to leave now." Lista advised, "I have just verified that there are things that are beyond human beings on this island, I am afraid we have been This eye is on."

"Calm down, Lista." Lynwood cast a soothing spell, "Your thinking is still being affected."

"That's because it's such a dangerous thing!" Lista rubbed her temples, and Lu Ning could feel the residual influence on her body, which made her thinking less. Stablize.

"Lista, you need to block this influence first!" Lynwood said seriously, "You are not behaving like usual now, how do you usually ask yourself? Be calm!"

"Yes... yes." Lista took a deep breath, and after about 10 minutes, Lu Ning felt that she had returned to normal.

"I think it's okay." Lista said to Lionwood.

"Okay, let's recount the matter."

This time, Lista was finally able to calmly tell all about what happened in her place, except that "Desperate Express" only explained its function but did not mention its origin.After finishing the narration, Lista thought for a while, and added: "The familiar that attacked me should be related to the abnormal situation I saw in the rain before, but I can't determine the specific trigger reason."

"Do you think it's going to attack you again? Or does killing this one solve the problem?" Lynwood asked.

"I... need to verify the magic power reaction." Lista closed her eyes slightly, and pressed her palm on her stomach. After a while, a slightly hot magic power flow spread out from the stomach, and quickly swept over her whole body.

"Not marked, it should be the latter." Lista opened her eyes and said with certainty, "Even if the strength of the familiar exceeds the standard, it still has to follow the basic laws of magic."

"Okay, I will continue to deal with this matter tomorrow. You need to rest now, understand? Treatment can only heal your injuries, and the magic power and energy consumed will not be healed."

"Okay, father." Lista stood up, "Now you should believe that there is danger here?"

"I have always believed, and I have always told you, that I am here for the benefit of this."
