Returning from the abyss

Chapter 272 Resonance
Lima isn't all about nothing.

As a habit of a researcher, Lima still retains his professionalism in taking notes, although there is nothing substantive to say in his notes after he entered here.

Most of them are praising the witch's knowledge, or occasionally writing some illogical words when awake, but in recent days, these words have become words mixed with unrecognizable meanings, judging from the shape Getting closer and closer to the symbols written on the houses in the cemetery.

The only thing of value is that he will record every "conversation" between the witch and him. There is no content, only the time that can be seen in the order of recording and all kinds of disgusting "admiration".

From the perspective of time, the witch will give Lima a new instruction about every other day. Although Lima sees it as a conversation, Lu Ning can see that the witch is giving a suitable suggestion at the right time, and Lima takes the initiative to execute.

Lu Ning still handled this notebook in the same way as before, and burned it after reading it.

The previous conversation had made her understand a problem, a problem that neither the devil nor the tourists ignored.In addition, she also reminded herself of the truth of this world by the way. On this basis, it is not difficult to win. What is difficult is her own way of winning.

The witch is back, and the tourists will not die, so you must check the time.However, in front of the final boss of a scene that can control time, can she really capture that time?

Lu Ning pouted and walked out of the house, then opened the front door again, and the inside returned to the clean and tidy state before.Sure enough, you have to use the key every time, but you don't know how many people can pass by once you use it, so you might as well ask another devil to come and try it together later.

Even if she couldn't, including the keys she got from Lima, she already had two, enough for use.Perhaps relying on the character of the house to arrange some... trouble for future visitors?
It took a little time to set up, and it was almost noon when we returned to the town.There were two young men standing guard at the east entrance, and they were taken aback when they saw Lu Ning come back.

"Doctor, are you out?"

"Didn't it calm down yesterday? I'll go out and see if you can calm down. How is the situation this morning?"

The young man was a little embarrassed to be asked such a rhetorical question.

"Everyone was filled with righteous indignation yesterday... In fact, I didn't really want to burn anyone. But if something like that happens, everyone will not be in a good mood."

The death of the tourist undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone. No one doubted the return of the witch anymore. Now everyone is still rational because the mayor is not dead, and a few other people have also come out to stabilize the situation, but this effect is not enough. will last a long time.

The days to come will be even more difficult.

Lu Ning would not put such emotions on her face, but the two young men comforted Lu Ning decently, and then let Lu Ning into the town.And when passing by several places of the burning frame last night, you can see that those things have been dismantled, leaving only ash piles that have not had time to clean up.

Lu Ning did not go back to the hotel, but went directly to the doctor.Since the mayor was assassinated, as the only medical staff in the town, he must know the inside story.

Surprisingly, however, the clinic was not open today.

As far as Lu Ning knew, unless the doctor was sick, he would sit in the clinic and go to work seven days a week.But today's closure was caught off guard, and even the notice was not posted at the door.She asked the nearby two families and learned that the doctor was directly picked up by the townspeople to treat the mayor yesterday, and she hasn't come back yet. Because of the sudden incident, she just closed the door and left.

Hearing the news, Lu Ning could only go directly to the mayor's house. Anyway, she is also a doctor, so she can always provide some convenience.

When they arrived at the door of the mayor's house, they happened to meet Shen Lishu and Ye Chuqing being sent out by a teenager.

"Doctor Lu." Shen Lishu slightly arched his hands to Lu Ning, "Why did you come here?"

"I'm still a doctor anyway. It's fine if you couldn't get out of trouble yesterday. Now that everything has calmed down today, I should see how the mayor's injury is." Lu Ning glanced at the boy, "How is the treatment going?"

"Not fatal." Ye Chuqing answered, "The assassin only had a chance to strike once, and then he was discovered. The mayor's injury needs rest, but he has already asked a doctor to see it."

"Speaking of the doctor...did he come to treat the mayor and leave?"

Hearing this question, Shen Lishu frowned.

"The doctor took care of the injury and left. It was around nine o'clock last night. Was he too tired to go to work today?"

"Nine o'clock...Professor Shen, even if you have had surgery for a day, you can wake up normally if you go back to rest at this time." Lu Ning's expression darkened slightly.

Shen Lishu and Ye Chuqing also immediately understood what this meant.

"Dorian, do you know where the doctor's house is?" Shen Lishu turned to ask the young man.The young man also seemed to understand something, and immediately replied: "It's not far from his clinic, I can take you there!"

The four hurried to the doctor's residence, which was a small one-story house. Ye Chuqing climbed over the courtyard wall and ran to the window, looked around the house, and shook her head when she came back.

"You can't see people from the windows."

Lu Ning twisted the doorknob, locked it, and immediately looked at Shen Lishu.

"March [-], water and mountains will be difficult. Everyone, be mentally prepared." Shen Lishu held a piece of bamboo between his fingers, looked up at the door, and said in a hoarse voice, "Break the door."

Ye Chuqing concentrated her energy and slapped the doorknob with her palm. There was a crackle around the doorknob, and then there was a crackling sound. The wooden door came off the handle and opened quietly.

There was no one in the house.The quilt in the bedroom was neatly folded, it didn't look like someone had come back to sleep at night.There was also a sandwich in a wooden box in the kitchen cabinet, which looked like it had been saved for dinner, and it hadn't been touched at all.

"Looks like this, the doctor didn't come back yesterday." Shen Lishu leaned on his crutches and sighed, "It's more ominous than good."

If you can't come back, then this is very interesting.

"Is it... a demon?" Ye Chuqing asked.

"It's possible, after all, if the doctor went to treat the mayor, it would be equivalent to being involved in this matter." Shen Lishu glanced at Lu Ning, "Little friend, it's better not to be too lenient to avoid accidents. "

Lu Ning noticed that Shen Lishu's eyes turned slightly towards the young man named Dorian twice, and Dang even nodded to show that she knew.

Afterwards, Shen Lishu sent Fadorian to report the news to the mayor and a few others, while he pulled the stool in the room and sat down, coughed, and smiled at Lu Ning.

"Can you tell me where you went this morning?"

"The cottage by the lake." Lu Ning said, "I want to see if the traces left before are still there, and if the wooden blocks we shipped out have been restored."

"The results of it?"

"Recovered." Lu Ning also found a place to sit down, and said with a frown, "Everything in that room has been restored to its original state, including the previously consumed items and broken glass, all of which have returned to their original appearance. There is no need for any cleaning at all.”

"So, what about the things you brought in later?"

"Still."

Shen Lishu pondered for a moment, then beckoned Ye Chuqing over.

"Doctor Lu, I would like to explain to you, Peng Morong's death last night was not caused by Ms. Fujii."

Lu Ning raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

"The old man is good at deduction of hexagrams, and the accuracy rate is good, but the direction of guidance is a bit vague." Shen Lishu glanced at Ye Chuqing, "So in the past seven days, the old man has deduced most people, With the addition of confirmation and my own interpretation, it is probably possible to determine the candidate for the devil."

"Are you willing to tell me that that means excluding me from the devil?" Lu Ning asked.

"Although it can't be completely ruled out, most of the hexagrams I got from you are middle or lower, which is a sign of crisis and emergency response. It doesn't seem like the hexagrams of the devil." Shen Lishu chuckled, "The old man said clearly, the devil The six people with the most obvious appearance are Luo Nan, Zhong Feiying, Zhu You, Feng Hui, Qiu Yiyun and Asayama Kiyotaro."

"Oh? Why?"

"Luo Nan's thoughts are mostly about killing. Although Zhong Feiying has been missing, he appears to be going well. Zhu You and Qiu Yiyun are alone. As for Feng Hui and Qianshan, they can't decipher anything from the hexagrams. I suspect that they are because of their Behavior."

"Feng Hui... Do you think he asked Peng Morong to find Fujii, and then found an opportunity to leave the team to chase him down? But according to Carl, Fujii also met Feng Hui before, so there is no reason not to kill him at that time The more threatening Fujii."

"There are two reasons. First, it was daytime, and Feng Hui might not be able to exert his full strength. Second, Fujii's combat effectiveness is unknown, and the traps she set were to test Feng Hui and Peng Morong separately. It can be seen that now that one of the suspects has died, the suspicion of the other has increased a lot."

Lu Ning nodded, reluctantly agreeing to this judgment.

"What about Kiyotaro Asayama?"

"His enthusiasm is very low. He obviously has the clue of the forest ranger, but he didn't follow the clue to develop more information. These days, he is busy wooing others and convincing them to believe in him. This kind of behavior is actually similar to Xia Xinhe, but it is It's more covert and easier to accept." Shen Lishu said.

"Where's Yiluo? I remember he came here after you, why don't you take him with you now?"

"He is a human being, but he has his own secret mission." Ye Chuqing replied for Shen Lishu, "But this is our internal problem, and we don't doubt him."

"But I don't accept what you say." Lu Ning said clearly, "You guys know it's a secret, right? I have experienced a secret confrontation scene where some people were allowed to defect midway, that is to say, this scene It is not impossible for the number of devils in the world to suddenly increase. I will treat a person who may be harmful to me as a devil."

"That's fine, but please... well, if you can, please don't aim to kill someone." Shen Lishu stood up with a cane on his back, "I know this request is a bit too much, so if he really wants to endanger you And being killed, I won't say anything..."

"So Yiluo is really doing something bad?"

"Not really, but I think it's coming soon."

With Ye Chuqing's support, Shen Lishu walked out the door, but his voice didn't stop.

"I can't understand this world, but my ability makes everything more blurred to me, and this also makes victory farther and farther away from me... Confrontation, hehe, confrontation."

The old man's disappointed voice became more and more distant until it sounded like a whisper from another world.

Lu Ning, who was standing alone in the room, smiled instead.

"Can't understand? How many people can understand this world at this stage? You don't even notice the traps in the mission, isn't this going to be a dead end?"

In the afternoon, there was an explosion at the police station in the small town, killing all the police officers at work except Sheriff Daniel, and this blatant attack had completely defined the target—the real power figures in the town.

This director is really a tough guy, half of his arm was blown off, and he was still carried to the square in a state of burns all over his body. He loudly ordered the townspeople not to panic, and the source of the witch was about to be found.Although he passed out completely after that.

After the doctor disappeared, people had no choice but to ask Lu Ning to deal with the sheriff's injury.

The effect of anesthesia in this era is so-so. The police chief woke up from the stimulation of alcohol and drugs, and found that Lu Ning in a white robe was concentrating on treating the wound, so he endured the pain and tried to divert his attention by talking to Lu Ning force.

"Doctor, are you afraid?"

"Are there all kinds of things in this town? To be honest, so many people died is a bit scary." Lu Ning changed a cotton ball, threw the previous one into the glass bottle aside, and looked at Daniel, "I'm scared Not death, I have seen a lot of death. What is frightening is the cause of death, and you have not been able to give me a convincing explanation so far."

"Sorry, this is all about the witch... Hiss..."

"Just bear the pain. I won't bring any anesthetics with me when I travel, and the doctor in the town is gone." Although Lu Ning said so, her hands were a little lighter.

"Doctor... We are already looking for him." Daniel gritted his teeth and said, "This town has been cursed by the witch. We are actively looking for ways to escape, but to no avail."

"Adams told me." Lu Ning nodded, "I also heard the witch's voice. Adams told me it's called resonance. Do you know about it?"

"You have 'resonance'?" Daniel almost got up from the bed excitedly, but he lay down with a painful wound, so he could only ask, "What did the witch say to you?"

"Ah...wait a minute." Lu Ning glanced at the bleeding wound, shook her head and went to the medical cabinet to take out the medicine again, and thought about the crazy words in Lima's notes in her mind.

That can really be edited casually.
