Returning from the abyss

Among the people present, only Escher, Gustav, and Justina were the ones who really participated in Elena's funeral, but they all seemed to tacitly assume that the relevant people knew about it, and no one had ever mentioned it.

"Why didn't anyone say anything about grandma when you found it?" Lista asked in surprise.

Gustav glanced at Escher: "Mr. Steward?"

"It's not a secret... but ten years ago, the master moved his grave, and now no one knows where the lady's body is buried." Escher said, "We just know that the lady is still buried on the island."

"But this was the first funeral you attended? Where was it?"

"Garden, Missy," Escher said.

"However, the cemetery is no longer what it used to be." Gustav nodded, "But, Lista, no matter what kind of delusions Reinix has, no matter how deep his research on resurrection is, resurrection will be impossible." After all, it’s not something he can do.”

This may be a speech limited to vision, but it may be true within this scene.

"Let's go back to the topic of rain." Justina pointed to the table, "I have never seen rain that can have a drastic impact on reality, even if it has magical properties, it is impossible to reach the level of filth. The effect of specially setting up rituals. No matter how strong the origins of magic are, they cannot affect people who have not been connected with the contract from a distance, this is the rule of magic."

"That's how it is in the normal world." Lista replied immediately, "But this island has become an abnormal world since it was closed."

"What?" Gustav frowned.

"Everyone may just think that this is an enchantment or a large-scale ceremony. It is the magic planned by grandfather to achieve the fundamental goal. Even if it is regarded as a sacrifice, there is only one situation. I am afraid that it is no longer considered by everyone. Already." Lista held out her hand to Escher, "Escher, give me an invitation letter."

"I only have blanks on my body." Escher took out an invitation letter from his pocket. Everyone here recognized that everyone who came to the island had received such an invitation letter. This is the custom of the Howard family banquet.

Lista opened the invitation letter, checked it inside and out, and handed it to Gustav.

"The invitation letter from Howard's family contains a small amount of magic power, which is usually used to prevent counterfeiting. But only this time, the magic power has a special quality."

"The contract was signed." Gustav had already seen the content of the magic power.

"It's normal not to notice, because it doesn't require you to take the initiative to sign, and as long as you come to the island with the invitation letter, it is equivalent to agreeing to the invitation, and it is equivalent to signing the contract. Well... from this aspect Speaking of it, grandfather did invent a way to circumvent the fairness of the contract." Lista shook her head.

"This guy……"

Finally, Gustav showed a little dissatisfaction on his face.

He is quite proud of his own abilities. Even facing a genius magician like Reynix, Gustav still doesn't feel inferior. After all, he almost walks on the road of magic by himself. until now.

Being calculated on such a momentary negligence made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"In other words, the death of everyone on this island should actually deepen the corruption in the rain." Lista said, "Why hasn't this rain stopped? Because people have been dying. This kind of contract How long can the rain brought about by the forced severance of Escher?"

"Usually, it takes one to two hours for one person." Escher said, "But after the enchantment is launched on the island, the concentration of magic power here has increased to a level far exceeding that of ordinary environments, and the origin of magic can last longer With the magic power cast by time, a person can at least have a day."

"If this is the case, the death of Howards alone is enough to make the rain fall until today... Oh?" ​​Gustav suddenly realized another problem.

The rain started early, even before the deaths of the Howard family members.

"Who's dead?" Gustav asked.

"Since you have explained that the rain must be caused by a person with a contract, then it is impossible to just find someone to kill, but someone who officially came to this island." Lista said.

And Renix Howard invites each person is specific.

It is even easier for tourists. After several rounds of games, tourists can fully know the list of all qualified island personnel.

"Musk." Miria said the name, "The ninth servant that should have been there."

As soon as this sentence was said, the expressions of all the servants changed slightly.

"Muska...she should be dead already." Jasmine said hastily, "We didn't wait for her to come back!"

"Or, she's already back?" Rosemary stared at Lista with serious eyes, "And she was killed the night before the family dinner, and she was killed on this island?"

"There is no actual evidence for this matter." Lista replied calmly, "I don't mind inferring this possibility for you, but I—"

Her words were interrupted by a growl.

Before everyone could check what happened, the ground shook. The sudden earthquake immediately caused everyone to lose their balance. The water glass on the table also fell down and smashed to the ground.

But at this time, no one cared about a little rainwater on the table.

Such a violent earthquake could continue to tear apart the wall structure of the main hall that had just collapsed in half, and everyone had to run outside.And the rest of the people moved faster than them - after all, they knew from the roar just now that something must have happened.

=
"Xin Gong Qian Xia" mixed in the crowd, no one noticed what she did.

In this round, since Watanabe Fuko killed the Howard family, there was no room for negotiation. She would definitely become a villain, but this villain still ambushed a group of ghosts in the crowd.

The rapidly expanding body of a monster is squeezed out of the window. It is white paper-like flesh and blood. They stretch out quickly and then burst due to extrusion. A large number of colors flow out of it, ink, oil paint, Carbon ash and mineral particles, they can't dye the white paper and flesh, but they completely change the color of the surrounding things.

"Schreiter?" Justina caught a glimpse of the monster and immediately guessed.

It is quite natural for a painter to become a monster of painting.But in this way, almost all the people in the museum were driven into the heavy rain outside.

"Is that also a filthy shadow?" Miria asked.

"No." Lista explained while throwing a small magic item to block the rain above her head, "The shape formed by the filthy shadow is basically fixed, and they are all mud-like, without much uniqueness. And this monster with a strong personal style must have been caused by something else."

The monster's extended body soon came outside.The bloodshot rainwater began to smash bright red potholes on its flesh and blood.It screamed in pain, squeezed out a large amount of paint from the gaps in its body, and hit Makalov, who was running slower. The poor psychic didn't even have time to let out a scream, and the whole person turned into a Group of colorful statues.

Seeing this, the rest of the people ran even faster.

"Miss, do you want to save someone?" Escher asked.

"I'm afraid we don't have that ability anymore." Lista had already smelled a bloody smell. She reached into her arms and took out the "Desperate Express" on her body.

The text on the envelope has been stained by the red blood streaks spreading from the surrounding corners, and from the inside of the letter paper, a lot of green stains are also seeping out. Fortunately, there is also a struggle between these two forces, The ability of this prop itself still exists.

[Second cardinal - the Lord of Impressions is formed.

No third cardinal detected.

The second cardinal enters the third cardinal formation ceremony.

random interference.

The third cardinal - the master of potential has been captured.

There are a lot of unconventional disturbances in the surrounding environment.

Information recording function damage - interference - information recording function modification.

The Lord of Potential has been generated.

The fourth cardinal, the Lord of Growth, is dead.

It is coming.

"Blood and debts on this shore are like smoke, where is the pure land left?"]

The green spots and red threads completely soaked this prop, as if it had really turned into a fragile piece of paper, shattering every inch of it in Lista's hands.At this moment, Lista heard Rosemary's voice.

"Kill me……"

Half of the servants who had been following behind him were already kneeling on the ground.Clumps of branches are emerging from their bodies, and a strong sense of strangeness is emanating from them.

"Damn the contract!" Lista glanced at the sky angrily. In the endless rotting rain, the apostles who once descended on the island by virtue of a sliver of agreement once again got the chance to reach out here.In fact, even her body began to grow branches, but as soon as those branches grew, they were annihilated by the magic power of chaos, and they could still be suppressed like this for the time being.

This is... the "crazy" on the island, Lu Ning sighed softly.

No one took care of the fallen servant, so Lista led the people and ran to the Falcon Eye Pavilion. As long as it was not in the rain, the situation might still improve.Now the number of deaths has reached a critical point, and the thoughts of the people on this island have completely gone in an unstable direction.

From far away, several shots were heard.

"That Jack is really clever."

Xingong Qianxia ejected the empty magazine and replaced it with a new one.There were only a few people left who ran out with her, Yu Guiting, Han Xizhe, Kuzumi Hirayama, Kanzaki Takaya, and Pan Shen.After Jack emerged from that monster, he ran away alone and disappeared. Should it be said that he has a strong sense of crisis as an adventurer?
"Ah, aren't you going to act?" Kanzaki Takaya said indifferently, no longer the appearance of running away in a hurry.

"It's not necessary anymore, it's almost the same as in the first round." Xingong Qianxia pointed in the direction of the main hall.

Above the half-collapsed house, a man in servant's costume was standing in the air like a ghost, with white paper monsters constantly expanding under his feet.

"How do you say it? Are we going to die like this this round? Or do you have other plans?" Jiuzhu Pingzhen said with a smile.

"Settle our terms of exchange." Xingong Qianxia fired a shot into the air, a scream came, a translucent shadow emerged from the air, and a pair of eyes formed by thick fog looked down from the air.

"Kuzuhira, the core of Renix's research is a ritual that breaks the existing magic system. There are eight sets of rituals in this ritual. As long as any system is completed, the ritual can be completed. This is for him to avoid accidents. External interference, one set was destroyed and designed. Unfortunately, in every round we have passed, eight sets of rituals have gone wrong."

"Han Xizhe, what you want to know is that the most threatening people and abilities on the island don't include tourists and Renix. Then, Dolores, Xingong Qianxia and Kagabo who exist as spies The three are relatively dangerous in the dark, you can ask Yu Guiting what Kagabo's mission is, I exchanged this information from him."

"Yu Guiting, Lian Qingyi, the hidden rules you two want to know, let's go back and discuss."

"Finally, Orlando."

Xingong Qianxia set her eyes on Yu Guiting.

"You have to come with me."

"Haha, let's go our separate ways here." Kuzuhira raised his hands, and a ray of moonlight suddenly appeared in the gloomy clouds.Kanzaki Takaya also sank, and instantly disappeared into the pool of water under his feet.

As for the remaining two, Pan Shen and Han Xizhe looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.

"Watanabe Yuanko, we won't help you deal with that monster. That thing is not a general problem that should be dealt with in the scene." Han Xizhe said, "We will go back and wait for your news."

"Do you need my help?" Xingong Qianxia asked with a smile.

"No, it's a little strange to let others kill us. Taking advantage of the last time, we still want to see if we can find a chance." After Pan Shen finished speaking, he and Han Xizhe also chose a direction to escape.

=
Lu Ning, who heard the gunshots, knew that the people in that team were almost completely wiped out.
There are at most nine tourists left, and a total of fourteen people ran out on my side. Counting the number of people, if the tourists are not dead, it is already approaching the limit where the number of tourists is higher than the number of people in the scene.

She is not going to control what Lista does anymore, this round is meaningless.Even though people showed unprecedented unity in this round, it was also united out of trust in magic, superpowers and other powers, which did not match the original situation of the scene.

Unrelated people shouldn't be aware of magic in the first place.

The Eagle Eye Pavilion is already in sight, and Lu Ning is also waiting for what answer Lista can find at the last moment.
