Returning from the abyss

From the time of birth, it is destined to stand in a position that many people cannot reach in their lifetime.

Elite education, the vision of the upper class of society, the talent of magic, the most secret knowledge in the world...all of them can be chosen at will, and the worldly wealth and power are hardly worth mentioning.

But the knot can never be easily opened.

Lista Howard, the genius of the Howard family, a talent recognized by even Renix, after that incident, it only took three months to rectify all the Howard consortia in the world, and mastered the entire Howard The power of the consortium.

But she doesn't need these.

What Renix left behind didn't make much sense to a girl who grew up carefree and only needed to move forward according to her own thoughts.What she possesses remains virtually unchanged, yet bears unprecedented responsibilities and a mystery that will never be solved.

Ten years ago, what happened on Hachime Island after September 26?
Apart from the necessary decisions for the consortium, Lista devoted almost all of her energy to investigating the events of ten years ago.It's hard for her to understand what kind of accident can erase her parents, that mysterious grandfather, and her own capable uncles all at once.Even if the source of magic descended directly on the island, at least some traces would have to be left behind, right?However, after nearly half a year of searching and salvage in the waters near the island, nothing was found.

Hachimejima disappeared.

Lista Howard became the highest authority in the Howard Consortium, and also became a lonely person.

In front of the shattered window, stood a tall, dark figure, holding a scarlet dagger full of spikes in his hand.Her eyes looked at the room, and her face was familiar to everyone—if Lista from another perspective below was added a few more years and became more mature, it would look like this.

This is exactly what Lu Ning and Watanabe Yuanko were talking about before.

The scene this time can be summarized as a reincarnation scene, and the distribution center usually does not set a cyclic state for the scene for no reason.For example, the reincarnation that Lu Ning encountered when he was promoted to the first level was caused by higher life forms, which caused time to go back continuously.

Although the distribution center has that ability, it generally does not take the initiative to repeatedly add the same scene to tourists to try different possibilities.Although the tourists themselves will gain unusual powers in many scenes, they will basically not become the role of the black hand behind the scenes. After all, it would be quite unfair to other tourists.

According to this rule, how did the "Hachimejima Incident" that tourists experience repeatedly today come about?The source is not a distribution center, nor a tourist, so——

"Hello, Lista." Lu Ning pulled her clothes, the wind blowing in from the window made the temperature in the room drop sharply, and it was even a little cold, "How many times is this your deduction?"

Lista's magic belongs to Chaos Ether. She can simulate the source of magic power required by any kind of magic. No matter what kind of magic events or even superpowers happen on the island, she can use Chaos Ether to imitate its effect.

Even if it requires a lot of magical knowledge, under the resource supply of the Howard Foundation, Lista can easily get everything she wants. Coupled with her talent, it will take ten years to complete a project similar to "Old Rebirth". It's not that difficult to do the magic.

"Oh?" Lista's eyes swept over everyone, as if trying to remember their appearance.

"If you don't want to answer, then I'll ask another question. I've always been curious about this question—what kind of ending did the Bamu Island reach in reality?" Lu Ning asked again calmly.

"Why should I answer you, Doctor?"

"Because your script drew us all in. Are there really us among the people on the island? Didn't you realize this kind of interference and influence?" Lu Ning said, "You are the Eagle Eye Museum in another The shadow of the world, you even entered your own script yourself, but you are looking for an ending that you don't know, so you can't fully control the trend of the plot."

"You think I've made a deal."

"You learned from your grandfather, right? Or do you really have such great hostility and want to attack us?" Lu Ning asked back, "You have also seen that we are not the origin of magic, let alone what you conceived. The imaginary enemy who came out."

"But you do exist on this island, among the remnants of this time." Lista frowned slightly, "You have the same personality as the source of magic."

"Because of this, we are able to deal with the source of magic." Lu Ning said.

Who knows, upon hearing this sentence, Lista suddenly smiled slightly: "Really? Then you need to prove it."

She swiped lightly in the air with the red dagger, and her figure suddenly disappeared, while the wind howled outside the window, the rain poured in, and a fishy smell immediately dispersed in the air.

This Lista is different from the Lista in the scene below. This is a magician who has been tempered for a longer period of time and whose understanding and use of magic is no less than that of Raynix!

"Oh... really..." Kuzumi stood up.

Han Xizhe pulled out a soft sword from his waist, his originally indifferent face was now a little stiff, and he looked towards the window.There was a gap in the sky, and a jagged horn protruded from the gap. The dark brown horn was forked like a deer, and there were a lot of green fluff growing on each tip, just like a dandelion.

After this horn appeared from the sky, within a few seconds, it had already appeared outside the window.The strong wind stirred the fluff at the tip of the horn and scattered them into the room.

"The source of fear."

Lista's voice suddenly appeared in the room, with an echo: "I study the things left by my grandfather, and naturally I have touched many taboos. I am burdened with the gaze and curse of thirteen magic sources. Outside of its own chaotic spherical shell, as long as a breath leaks out, it may attract their attacks."

Xingong Qianxia's shadow slowly elongated, forming the appearance of another person on the wall, and a red sword shape appeared in the shadow's hand.

"So, do you have the ability to eliminate the disaster I have suffered?"

The green fluff fell on the ground, quickly forming puddles of liquid with a foul smell. These liquids corroded the surrounding ground and began to aggregate towards the center. Lian Qingyi seized this opportunity and shot instantly, reaching out from the cabinet next to him. With one shot in the middle, he took out a flamethrower.

"Everyone, solve the immediate problem first." Yu Guiting stood up, unbuttoned his cuffs, a drop of purple liquid slipped from his wrist, and was thrown towards the sharp corner of the window by him.The liquid seemed to be completely unaffected by wind and gravity, sticking straight to the horn.

The poison instantly turned a part of the corner into purple, and even the fluff that fell from it was not spared. At the same time, the rotten liquid began to gather rapidly, forming a huge sea urchin-shaped ball, but there were also obvious some purple.

At this moment, Lian Qingyi aimed at this "sea urchin" and pulled the trigger.

The flames whizzed past, and the stench in the room instantly turned into a burnt smell. The unpleasant breath spread, but was crushed by the sword light.

Han Xizhe had already made a move, "Smashing and Cutting" was attached to the edge of his sword, cutting all abnormalities into pieces in a net shape, and the sea urchin in the flames was torn by the sword light and thrown directly out of the window, and the flames followed. Burned to the corner outside the window.

"Kill it." Han Xizhe swung his sword again to activate his own abilities. This time, the shattering and cutting landed on the horn protruding from the sky.The distribution center gives tourists the level of "God", and the attack is enough to hurt the origin of magic.The horn obviously also sensed the threat, and immediately began to retreat, and actively disconnected the injured part, and more fluff was spread into the room by it, trying to make it a defense that hindered the tourists.

And at this moment, Lu Ning dug out a candle from the small room.

"I'm not good at doing it." Watanabe Yuanko said.

"It's okay, I can come. If Lista really grew up like that, she might be even more stubborn than Reynix."

Lu Ning lit the candle, took a deep breath, and fixed the target of the curse on the brown horn.

The abnormality from the abyss came suddenly, and the ability given by the distribution center was not the "demon" of this world, but a more regular effect.The moment Lu Ning's curse fell, the crack in the sky closed suddenly, cutting off the corner that extended to the window, and directly discarded most of the power to escape from it.

Lu Ning felt a little regretful. A few seconds later, the power of the curse could reach the main body along that horn.

"I was escaped." Han Xizhe shook his head slightly.

The tourists looked at each other, tacit understanding.No one used all their strength in this attack, and those who made the attack only used their ability that is most easily cracked, and even used a little effort to cover it up.

After all, the tourists currently have this kind of spare power. The fourth-level tourists who have experienced in various scenes can judge that the strength of the sharp corner is not very strong, and it can be said to be slightly inferior to the tourists in this room.

On the contrary, Lista is somewhat unpredictable.

"Lista, can you come out?" Lu Ning asked.

Xingong Qianxia's shadow shook for a moment, and Lista walked out of the shadow, her face still had an indecipherable expression.

"We've already proved it, so shouldn't it be time for you to have a good talk with us?" Lu Ning asked.

"You are not the origin of magic, so what are you? You can mix into my deduction, occupy the positions of some secondary characters, and now you have shown such ability..."

Lista crossed the sword in her hand.

"I never knew that there were 'gods' like you in this world."

"Because we are not gods." Lu Ning said.

"Lista, you have a very clear purpose, don't you? Have we really had any impact on your purpose?" Kuzumi said with a smile, "On the contrary, our joining has added more to your deduction. Too many variables, your own calculations, probably can't achieve the ending you really want to see, right?"

"...I still don't know your origins, and I can't trust you."

"Then might as well start with the tiniest details," Watanabe said.

"detail?"

Watanabe Fuko took a step forward: "We are not in all of your deduction. You have conducted many deduction, and this is only the third time we have intervened. And you are now the master of this deduction People, you can exert some influence on it, but you have to go in and observe it yourself. The difference between us is that we can be the characters in it and thus affect the deduction process, you can't because Lista didn't show up on September 25 It exists in Hachimejima during the day."

"Yes."

"However, you can let Lista appear, or you can add or remove some people on the island. Our goal is to find Renix's real legacy, and your goal is to restore the truth back then. The two do not conflict. And Judging from the current situation, you can't threaten us, just as it's difficult for us to threaten you, isn't it?"

Lista nodded.

"Then, let's start now." Watanabe Fuko pointed down, "I guess, the failure you mentioned is that the last time you developed to this point, you killed Saotome Arisa. As a result, you got an error the result of."

"This development has gone wrong."

"But we need to know more. Besides, being able to fix something is better than doing nothing." Watanabe Fuko smiled softly, "Go on? How?"

Lista stared at Fukuko Watanabe carefully for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Okay."

=
The frozen time flowed again, but at this moment, Lu Ning could not control the situation. After all, when Lista launched an attack, she had already entered the state of battle, and switching was not allowed at this time.

But she wasn't that worried.

A soul-stirring string sounded in everyone's ears in an instant. This sound had a destructive effect on the operation of magic in less than a second, and thus wiped out most of the power of magic. Only live ammunition still had power, but in The feather protection around Saotome Arisa did not hit any fatal parts.

"It's better not to be so impulsive, everyone."

Xingong Qianxia had already held the violin in her hands at some point, her expression was still a little dazed, but she had already attracted everyone's attention.

"Heart Palace!" Miria's pupils shrank, and she immediately blocked Lista's side, but Heart Palace would naturally not launch further attacks.

"I hope you don't get confused for a moment. Ms. Saotome seems to know a lot of inside information. If she is killed directly, it may be difficult for us to understand the whole picture of Mr. Renix's plan. I don't want to die in this On the island."

"Are you a magician?" Gustav asked.

"It is now." Xingong Qianxia replied leisurely.

Saotome Arisa did not launch any attack at this time, Xingong Asaxia just attacked indiscriminately, everyone was affected by the vibration of the string sound, and now she couldn't activate her magic power, and she took a few more shots on her body, and her whole body was shocked in a rather weak state.

"Ms. Milia, Miss Lista, Mr. Gustav... Can everyone calm down a little?" Xingong Qianxia asked again.
