Returning from the abyss

The death of Lenix Howard did not cause much shock. It was not even as shocking as the morning when Mayuri Daida and Takaya Kanzaki were found dead in their rooms.

In fact, most people in the Howard family have had enough experience attending funerals, even if their own family members have not experienced so many.Lu Ning watched Escher arrange the servants to prepare for the funeral ceremony in an orderly manner. All of this must have been rehearsed many times. Now it is just a matter of preparing an extra cemetery - Kanzaki Takaya is not a member of the family and cannot be buried here.

No one pays attention to Lian Qingyi's whereabouts.

As a guest, Lu Ning would not be assigned anything. After announcing the death and inspecting the body and other routine tasks, she was free.Watanabe Fuchiko never showed up, and also missing were Makailov, Schlitt, Kagabo and others.Gustav and Justina naturally needed to attend Rennicus's funeral. This funeral was simple, just as he had always expected.

As of now, the first thing to do is to erase the mark belonging to Rennix on the magic corpse and release this piece of history again. It has been completed.Under the pull of that anchor point, no matter what outcome the history here reaches, Rennix will inevitably return to that withered tree and become the origin of a new magic.

"It's not bad." Lu Ning walked into the kitchen and asked the head chef for a breakfast. Then she sat down in the restaurant.There was no one here at this time, but it was a nice and quiet place.She chewed her breakfast slowly and thought about her next step.

Watanabe Fuchiko did this first simply because there was going to be a big one later and she didn't want to involve Rennix.She could vaguely guess that she wanted to take action against the origins of magic, but Lu Ning had no idea how to take action while maintaining their restrictions on the escape of magic power into the world.

"Okay, next task...tsk."

Lu Ning didn't like the next thing very much. Even Watanabe Fuchiko seemed to have considered this issue and specifically said she didn't have to do it.

Going to dig Elena's grave.

"Renix hasn't been buried yet, so Elena is going to be taken out...well, although it's not about digging up the body."

Watanabe Fuchiko needs to re-research Elena's various relics, including some of Elena's own leftover items.In the last round, Watanabe Fuchiko did not have the opportunity to conduct detailed research on these things, but this time she has the ability and margin.

This kind of thing naturally needs to be solved by Escher.

After Lu Ning took a short rest, she went to find Escher.He is now preparing another guest list in the servants' room.Although Rennix's funeral needs to be completed as soon as possible on this island, due to the secular power of the Howard family, there is another funeral that needs to be planned.Seeing Lu Ning come in, Escher smiled and asked, "Doctor Lu, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Indeed, but you seem quite happy?"

"I know what the master's long-cherished wish is, and I'm afraid the current ending is also what he expected." Escher said, "In this regard, I must thank you for your help."

"Okay, then let me tell you my request - I want to get all the relics of Ms. Elena, including related records, props and research records. The only person on this island who can know these is you. " Lu Ning said.

"Okay. Uh... wait, you said everything, but I..."

"Those things you don't know, I know where they are. As long as you lend me two people, I can dig them out." Lu Ning knew what he meant. "As long as the research materials of this main museum are there, do you know where they are?"

"In the master's chamber," Escher said.

Secret room?Lu Ning thought for a moment and knew that it was the place Rennix used to hide another body.The space in that place is indeed not large, but it is enough if you just save some paper materials or even electronic archives.

"I understand. You give me two people first. I will go to the annex to take out all the other materials, and then come back to get the materials from the main library. You need to ensure that nothing happens today. We have tried our best to contain the island. The desire to kill, but now it is difficult to ensure that everything goes smoothly, after all, most guests do not know what happened."

"Understood, I will try my best." Escher nodded.

"Lend me the rosemary and bay leaves." Lu Ning directly called her name, "I will act with Lista, there is no need to worry about my safety."

"Got it." Escher nodded.

Lu Ning quickly drove to each annex with two servants to dig out the things left there.

Inside the main hall, Yu Guiting was standing in his room, looking out the window.

Lian Qingyi is dead, which means that he has completely lost this round of opportunities. Judging from Watanabe Fuchiko's planning, I am afraid that this is also the last round, and then this reincarnation will end.

The number of dead is now full, but what about the living?

There are still two opportunities for advancement. Except for Watanabe Yukiko who will almost definitely take one, the other opportunities can still be fought for.Yu Guiting himself does not have that kind of ambition, but he cannot guarantee that other tourists have the same idea.

He didn't know how deep their obsession was between Han Xizhe and Kuzumi Heizhen.But compared to them, Yu Guiting felt that he still overlooked something in his field of vision, which made him feel a thorn in his back.

"Hello."

There was a voice outside the door. After Yu Guiting hesitated for a moment, he went to open the door.Watanabe Fuchiko was outside the door. She said to him with her usual smile: "Due to Mr. Lian's death, the number of tourists has shrunk again. I don't know what you are thinking here, so I came over to take a look."

"Ha, I have to say thank you for your concern." Yu Guiting smiled bitterly, "Now I have no chance. If Lian Qingyi doesn't advance, I'm not going to fight for it..."

"My transactions have always been fair. The participation I gave you is enough for you to get enough points to go back. There is no score limit in the upgrade scenario. I think this is enough compensation for you." Watanabe Yuanzi said, "But these are all based on my own analysis and thinking. Even after discussing with you, I can see that you actually still have a greater desire."

"That's all in the past." Yu Guiting said, "We did want to fight for the last chance to advance, but your consideration is indeed flawless, and you even cut off the escape route this round."

"Mr. Yu, you can speak out if you have any dissatisfaction. This day is the last time we have time to discuss."

"Huh?" Yu Guiting was stunned for a moment, "It's daytime today?"

"The overthrow of the Eight Eyes Island is something that is difficult to reverse. Even if most of Rennix's arrangements on the island are wiped out, this huge magic pool will gradually lose control after losing the support of Rennix. , Magic scouring is a very violent cracking method. It does not fill and repair the scratches left on things, but roughly peels off a layer of them." "This means that the magic structure here has been It’s become very unstable, right?”

"Yes, because of this, Eight Eyes Island should undergo a drastic change in the near future. Fortunately, we have opened a hole in the barrier and got rid of the future influence caused by Rennix. .Under dual conditions, communication with the outside world has become feasible.”

"You mean..."

"Tomorrow a ship will arrive to pick up the people on the island and leave." Watanabe Fuchiko said, "The storm caused by the previously arranged ceremony is fading, but a safe voyage still needs to be done tomorrow. Therefore, That's why I said this is the last chance, Mr. Yu."

"But if I'm not wrong, something big will happen during this period." Yu Guiting looked at Watanabe Fuchiko, "You're right, I need points, even if I have given up the opportunity to advance. , I still need a lot of points... Miss Watanabe Fuchiko, I don’t know what else to do after helping you lay out those parchments?"

"Do what you should do as Yu Guiting, and also do what tourists should do." Watanabe Fuchiko took out a notebook and tore a page from it, "As long as you do these two things, you You can score a lot of points.”

"Uh, okay." Yu Guiting took the piece of paper, looked at it, and nodded, "It's not a big problem. There's one more thing. I always feel like I've missed some important issue, but I can't remember what it is. Okay, am I overthinking this, or am I..."

"You don't have to worry about anything, Mr. Yu. Unless you have a strong will to die together like Mr. Lian, I can guarantee your safety, just like Miss Xingong."

"You still don't say anything... This makes me feel very uneasy. Watanabe Fuko, I hope you can do what you say, otherwise..."

"You are indeed in a state of nervousness, but I can't do anything about it. After all, psychological adjustment ability is also a quality that fourth-level tourists should have. You can choose to be relieved, but I don't think that is what a character like you will do. The choice you made." Watanabe Fuchiko chuckled, "You asked me to confirm the source of your uneasiness, but how can I know what caused your uneasiness?"

"……I understand."

After a short silence, Yu Guiting spoke again, already much calmer, "Sorry, I just seemed..."

"Religious issues are also something you need to solve yourself. Even I can't do anything about it. Please remember, Mr. Yu, you can discuss anything with me during the day, but after nightfall, we can't No changes were made.”

After saying that, Watanabe Fuchiko stood up, saluted and left the room.

She came to a guest room on the first floor, which had been temporarily cleared out and became Lanewood's office space.The eldest son of the Howard family has become the new interim patriarch according to family rules, and has the power to make decisions on many matters.

Fortunately, Lane Wood is indeed a very cautious person.Although he has little achievements in magic, he is indeed a very good manager and parent in the industrial field.His cooperation with Escher kept the situation in the main hall stable, and even the guests did not feel too much sadness.

Yeah, sad - Rennix's death didn't cause his children to feel much sadness.

After Watanabe Fuchiko sighed in a low voice, he walked into the study.

"Ms. Watanabe, we have followed your instructions..."

"I'm not worried about your cooperation on these matters. I'm here to discuss another matter with you. Have you received any reply to the communication?"

"Until the magic completely subsides, the interference here is still very serious." Linewood put down the pen in his hand and looked at Fuchiko Watanabe, "Currently the only news we can receive comes from the offshore dock, and the one further away is It’s basically impossible to transmit correct information. I guess the influence of the magic circulation in this sea is also a reason, but it’s a pity that my magic skills are not enough, so there is no way to solve it.”

"It's okay, please show me the answer."

Linewood pulled out a printed document from the drawer and handed it to Fuchiko Watanabe.

"Besides, it seems that you are still collecting my parents' relics?"

"Yes, in the next step, we still need to rely on the wisdom of our predecessors. But since you have agreed to support me in my actions, you shouldn't object to it, right?"

"It's nothing, I'm afraid a lot of things have to be left behind anyway." Linewood sighed, "I... originally admired my father, but as I grew up, I found that he became more and more paranoid..."

"Soon, Lu Ning will come back with a video, you can take a look." Watanabe Fuchiko said, "And I can't help you eliminate all the hidden dangers left on this island. Your own efforts and those of Howard."

"So what are you asking for?" Lionwood suddenly asked, "I can see that you have helped us a lot, although I don't know the truth. But my experience tells me that there must be a reason to help others. Even if it’s just for self-satisfaction.”

"There are many parties involved in the transaction, and the result of the transaction is this. Mr. Linewood, you have seen the message Lista left you, and you also know the desperate future she faces. The only thing I can tell you is What I am saying is, please treat your daughter well and prevent her from becoming what we have seen."

"That's natural, that's my daughter." Lanewood finally showed a smile, "In any case, I am very aware that the terrible future has not yet come."

Watanabe Motoko looked at the document. Most of the content in the document was to confirm the identity and the statement of the environment. This was not what she was concerned about. She only cared about the time of evacuation.

"Tomorrow at 12:30 noon, the boat will arrive?"

"Yes, they know they have to pick up everyone, so they will send a big ship over. The storm on the sea should have completely subsided by then. We can..."

"I'll leave this matter to you. I've already informed Mr. Yu. He will use his influence among the guests to help you get everyone on board." Watanabe Fuko said.

Lanewood nodded and suddenly looked into Watanabe Fuchiko's eyes: "But there will still be people who won't board the ship, right?"

It was Sunday last week... It's almost better now. This volume will also come to an end. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!
