Returning from the abyss

Chapter 259 Thinking Change
The physique of a devil makes it difficult to get drunk in a real sense. Lu Ning still got up the next morning as usual, sorted out the notes on the table, then went to the hotel to buy a breakfast, and sat on a seat near the window to enjoy it quietly.

But what happened last night fermented overnight.

People ran to the door of the Herman family's house to question. Obviously, it was a matter that could be calmed down with a little bit of talking, but they simply chose to stay behind closed doors without giving any explanation.Some angry townspeople ran to the suburbs and started destroying their family's farmland, while others sought justice from the mayor and the Turner family.

Although the boss wasn't affected too much, after the death happened, the atmosphere in the town became panicky.

What is terrible is not the corpse, but the person who made the corpse.

Someone sat down at a table with a sandwich.

"Doctor Lu Ning, have you heard the rumors in the town today?" Kiyotaro Asayama looked a little sad, "People are starting to die. This is not good news. The anomalies in the scene have begun to show their fangs."

"What are you worried about?" Lu Ning asked.

"Secret mission." Asayama was also very straightforward, "Although I can't explain in detail, my mission requires a low-key investigation to complete. The current situation is not good for me."

"Then why are you telling me?"

"Because you have something we don't have now." Asayama smiled, "Didn't you notice? When you reached out to that boy, you have prestige here. Although you are not a local, you are Having a certain degree of right to speak is much better than us tourists."

"Of course I know this kind of thing, but I can't rely on that to make excessive demands on the town. At most, it's just to make my actions smoother." Lu Ning shook her head, "If you want to ask for help, why don't you ask for help? What about those teammates?"

"You seem to think I'm the captain, but in fact I'm just someone like Yu Guiting." Asayama explained, "The leader in this team is Ryo Tachikawa, and the real employers are Sugiyama and Inawara. Both Fujii and I were hired."

"Oh? I remember you were a geologist..."

"That's right, but for others, I can still be called a occult researcher." Asayama spread his hands, "Fujii's identity is a young detective who inherited a detective agency, and she urgently needs A remarkable feat of being able to open up his own firm's business is used as a publicity. As for Ryo Tachikawa, a good friend of the head of the Sugiyama family, I don't know his details. Sugiyama and Inori are two very famous onmyojis in this world family offspring."

"You really sold out your teammates completely."

"Don't speak so harshly. I sincerely seek your cooperation. These unimportant things are just for me to show my attitude. Even if you know these things, you can't use them to hurt them." Asayama waved his hand hastily, "To be honest Yes, it’s just the two of us now, why don’t you tell us about the suspect in your heart, so that we can continue to talk in detail.”

"You mean you don't think I'm a devil anymore?"

"I don't think your actions are quite like it."

Lu Ning smiled before continuing: "Then thank you for your trust, but I still want to hear your point of view first."

"The devil has killed two people so far, and the devil who showed his strength is two." Asayama began to analyze, "It was one who killed Xue Fengchun in the thick fog, and the one who attacked us on the roof Another, assuming that all the demons are really among the tourists, then there are still four demons who have not fully demonstrated their special abilities. In addition, the demons who did it that night should also include the one who killed Sally. The windows causing chaos in the restaurant, and the use of the green room to restrict the movement of Robert and others."

"The night before, there was a demon who attacked Fujii Yukine. I don't think she is lying."

"But what if she's a demon?"

Asayama crossed his fingers, feeling a little uneasy: "Honestly speaking, if this scene is regarded as a simple killing game, then it is not impossible for the murderers to jump out and lead the team to confuse the view in the strategy that the murderers will adopt. ? Among us, Carl, Fujii Xueyin, who have the loudest voices, and Shen Lishu, who has a mysterious identity, among these three people, there may be a demon among them."

"You don't trust your teammates?"

"Because it's strange." Asayama said, "the four people in our team have mastered some special powers, only she is just a fledgling rookie detective, which doesn't match the situation of our team, and I don't know how to hire her." What is her purpose?"

"Then you want to say that she was not actually attacked by a demon on the first night, but instead used self-injury to confuse the public?"

"Can't rule out this possibility? Sally and Xue Fengchun died immediately when they were attacked by the devil, and Karl almost died in the hands of the devil. Why can she easily repel the devil? Unless she also has some unknown power , but that's not fair."

Lu Ning knew what Qianshan meant by unfairness.

As a detective, Fujii must have obtained the various abilities that the distribution center can facilitate investigations, and while giving a person an information advantage, he also has a strong self-protection ability, which is obviously not in line with the distribution center's habit of initial fairness to tourists.

"So, have you thought about another possibility?" Lu Ning paused before saying.

"Another possibility?"

"The ability to be a detective is what she already possessed. Behind her superficially conferred identity, the distributing center grants another hidden identity, and what is revealed to you is only her superficially qualified detective. Just like you, in our eyes He was no more than an ordinary geologist."

"It seems that you insist that she is not a devil anymore. I still reserve my opinion... In addition, I think the two missing persons, Luo Nan and Zhong Feiying, are both devils."

"is it?"

"They both disappeared to discuss the next step. I think it may be difficult for the devils to get the opportunity to communicate with each other, so they use this method to make arrangements."

"If you follow your thinking, then the demons should be broken up at the beginning, every team has them?"

"Yes, that's the truth."

"These demons came to this town together? Just for the witch?"

"No, I don't think the devil came to the town, but he became a devil after he came to the town." Asayama waved his hand, "Do you still remember those rumors? Among those sensational stories, there is a very important one The only thing that never changes is that..."

"A woman came from outside the town." Lu Ning said the common point of those legends.

"If the witches are all outsiders, why aren't the devils? After all, the two must be related, so it is understandable that they were born in the same way."

"Fujii, Luo Nan, Zhong Feiying... well, there are three more?"

"Zhu You, who is alone and has been missing for a while, is also very suspicious. There should be one of Professor Shen's group, and finally Carl and Robert..."

"It sounds like your list of suspects hasn't been finalized yet." Lu Ning smiled, "Then let me tell you a few people I think are suspicious."

"Ah."

"You, Qiu Yiyun, Zhu You, Zhong Feiying, Luo Nan and Yi Luo."

Asayama smiled wryly.

"In addition, I will not completely rule out the suspicion of Xia Xinhe and his wife. It is true that they have always acted together, but the devil decided to put the person who acted together at the end. Not only can it cover their identities, but it can also ensure that one of them Killing quota. Taking a step back and thinking about it, if the two of them are demons and testify against each other, we will not be able to judge any suspicious aspects of them from their actions, after all, no one will keep an eye on them all the time."

"I... see. So, at least if you doubt me, would you like to do me a little favor?"

"Your secret mission, right? Don't worry, I don't think this commotion will last long."

Lu Ning is quite confident about this.

The coffin in front of the carpenter's door had been removed, the blacksmith was sitting on the stone at the door to rest, and new goods had arrived in the grocery store. When Lu Ning walked into the empty house of Taylor's house, she was not stopped by anything.

"Identity confirmation..."

She whispered, and walked briskly to the door of the bedroom.

"Are you a demon?"

Some indistinct voices came from the room.

"How did you find me?"

"Didn't it be you who stuffed a note into my hand last night while there were so many people? What is your exclusive personal ability? Transformation?"

"Don't guess my ability! We are teammates!" The voice in the room raised a little bit, "I called you here because you don't want to expose our devil's secrets like those stupid bastards! You count us How many secrets are left that have not been found out by those damn guys? If this goes on for three days, we will not even have a fig leaf left!"

"I think they did a good job. They tested the abilities of so many people in one night, and even killed one person. The small cooperation in the restaurant also did a good job."

"As a price, they gave up most of the demon's information advantages! If we don't rush to do it, we can even make them think this is a hunting scene!"

"If you don't do that, the price is that the human side can easily complete the difficult optional task." Lu Ning chuckled, "Even if you accuse them like this, it can't cover up the fact that you failed to attack Fujii Xueyin on the first night? Say yes what happened?"

The devil in the room was silent for a while, and then said with a little hatred: "That dead woman...she is better than me."

"Did I hear you right? Or did you not use four times the power of the demon form to deal with her?"

"How could I make such a low-level mistake! Of course I tried my best to kill her! Who knew that she would be able to react to such a situation!"

Lu Ning couldn't help but shook her head: "So you haven't made any real achievements, so why do you think you can give orders to me? Just because of your clever 'inaction' that night?"

She left the door, went to the drawer where Taylor took out the envelope, and opened the drawer. There were still some letters scattered there, all of which were salary envelopes. The money and pay slips inside had been taken away. But she doesn't use that either.

"What good idea do you have?" The devil inside still suppressed his anger.

"It's nothing, I'm looking for clues about the witch." Lu Ning took out all the envelopes and arranged them in order according to the time above.

"Witch? Why are you looking for that? Isn't our mission very clear?"

"Complete the ceremony, the witch returns, do you really understand?"

"Hey, what did I think it meant? Wouldn't the mission be completed by killing all humans? Do you still need to waste time and effort to explore that illusory mission?"

"First of all, we may not be able to kill the strength of the human side; secondly, there are my friends in it."

The demon in the room was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Your friend? Hahaha! Have you figured out that this is a confrontation scene? The kind that never dies? Even people from famous large organizations will fight each other without hesitation when they are assigned confrontations in the scene. Do you really have any? How naive is it to be soft in the scene because you know the other party well?"

"I'm never relentless when I need it." Lu Ning looked at the envelopes one by one to the sun, and continued to talk to the devil in the room, "But since the distribution center provides a solution that can be solved without killing everyone, I want to try."

"I didn't expect you to be an idiot." The devil said disdainfully, "Even if you want to let them go, they won't let you go. Their mission is to kill all six devils."

hiss.

The envelope was carefully torn open by Lu Ning. The slightly thicker paper envelope was made of two layers of paper tightly glued together. Through the sunlight, she could see that there was a thin black line in each letter. It is easy to be regarded as pulp impure debris.

"Then don't let them find out."

"Easy to say."

Lu Ning carefully pulled out the black threads from the letter paper. They still had a little bit of toughness, so the job was easier than expected. Then she tore off a piece of paper from the pad and wrapped the black threads carefully. , and folded the envelope and put it in his arms.

"I have experienced two miserable failures, but I have learned nothing." Lu Ning walked towards the door, "After the first failure, I began to try to solve the problem by methods other than killing, and the second time After the failure, I knew that I didn't need to ask the other person's attitude towards you if I wanted to save someone."

"what?"

"Since we don't know each other from the beginning, let's each act in our own way. We have different ideas, so let's see which way we choose is the right way to win. The winner is stronger, isn't it? "

She opened the door and walked straight out of the house.

==============
Near noon, the townspeople blocking the door of Herman's house finally dispersed. The mayor and a few policemen were sweating, and Shen Lishu, Ye Chuqing, and Yiluo who came to help were not so relaxed.

After everything settled down, a middle-aged man with a pale complexion and a slightly fat figure came out of the house. His face was full of calm, as if it wasn't a big scene just now.

"Mr. Fisher, I think next time you can try to solve this kind of thing yourself." The mayor said to the middle-aged man with some complaints.
