Returning from the abyss

Chapter 288 Success or Failure
Qiu Yiyun's rib was pierced with a silver sword point, it was not very long, but because of its sharpness, it penetrated the demon's shell without hindrance, and reached the internal organs.

With blood dripping from the corner of Yiluo's mouth, he threw away the stabbing sword with only one hilt left in his hand, and directly restrained Qiu Yiyun's arm that pierced through him with both hands, although it had lost much strength.

"Ye... let's go..."

he said to the people behind him.

"Asshole! I just need to eat this little injury and you can heal it!" Qiu Yiyun was furious, her body changed suddenly, and she was about to spurt out gelatin and swallow Yiluo.

"Eight...a quarter." Yi Luo grinned, "Lu Ning helped you and reminded us..."

The colloid with strong phagocytic power did not appear, and even Qiu Yiyun's shell on the surface of her body began to become black and dry, slowly fell, and the flames began to burn her skin. Unknowingly, Qiu Yiyun's demonization time today Already used up.

"Damn, damn..." Qiu Yiyun stabbed Yiluo's arm with a knife, but the quadruple strength disappeared, and she couldn't break free for a while.

"Hahahaha! I'm so happy to have a strong and beautiful girl on the road with me when I die!!"

Under Qiu Yiyun's almost crazy eyes, Yiluo finally let go of her hand, then opened her arms and rushed towards her, and behind her was the corridor surrounded by raging fire.

"Lu Ning ah ah ah ah!"

With the final roar, Qiu Yiyun was pushed into the flames by Yiluo, and then the ceiling collapsed.

==============
Snapped.

Lu Ning closed the notebook in her hand and made a crisp sound.

"Is this also my murder?"

Her demon mission [Kill at least three tourists at the lakeside hut] has just been announced to be completed, and the count has become [4/3].

She didn't know what happened to the lake house, but apart from Mi Li and Mi Nan, for the last place, she basically just let it happen to see who was more unlucky to provoke her.She asked Zhu You to remind Qiu Yiyun that the demonization time was almost up at [-]:[-], so she took the opportunity to leave, but she really didn't intend to kill her teammates.

But if she knew about it, she probably wouldn't care. After all, she had already taken care of everything, and she couldn't take into account the character of her teammates so completely.

The Huo Town here may pay attention, but there is a bigger mess in the warehouse, and it is estimated that the problem of the lake house will be ignored for a while.And once the time is restored, the hut will return to its original state, including the bombs she set.

In this way, if tourists want to complete the task of living for eight hours, they must first find a way to eliminate the threat of incendiary bombs in the room.It is conservatively estimated that it will take one day. Within this day, Lu Ning will be able to prepare all the materials for the ceremony.

The rhythm is perfect.

She leaned against the tree trunk, narrowed her eyes comfortably, and slowly fell asleep.

Morning comes soon.

Shen Lishu and Ye Chuqing, who escaped back that night, reported the news that the lakeside hut had been bombed, and the identities of the three demons, including Lu Ning, were informed to everyone who was still in the town.But this is no longer the key information. Fujii Xueyin regained consciousness earlier today, and everyone in the hotel knew the news. What is more important now is that the Herman family quickly ushered in the first The second funeral - the head of the family, Fisher, was assassinated in his bedroom in the middle of the night last night, together with his wife.The new head of the family, Cadelina, refused all visits and stated that the death of the head of the family would not change the next actions of the Herman family, but no one knew what "action" meant.

Lu Ning's attitude was already very clear.When Sugiyama took out the drawing of the jigsaw puzzle of the lakeside hut, everyone quickly matched the witch's belongings represented by the drawing according to the clues in their hands.

Fujii's consciousness was still a little drowsy, and Karl was a little absent-minded, so Robert became the leader of this meeting.

"Lu Ning's intention is undoubtedly to use this ritual to recall the witch. Now we have to decide whether we should wait for her to complete the return of the witch, and then see if there is a way to eradicate the witch; or stop Lu Ning and let the witch return. fail?"

"No one is willing to make that option now. Our manpower is already seriously short." Sugiyama said gloomily, "Even if Yiluo succeeded in replacing Qiu Yiyun last night, the missing people are probably already taken by Lu. Ning secretly got rid of it, and there is a demon among us, so it is eight to three, which is even worse than before!"

"You can't say that..." Asayama smiled bitterly, "The missing people may not all be killed, otherwise the few who went to the mine before may not survive..."

"If there were two demons present at that time, we would definitely be attacked. I don't believe that the demons would miss such a good opportunity." Yu Guiting said, "Now that it is confirmed that Lu Ning is a demon, then the three of us It must not be a demon."

"Why?" Carl, who had been a little wandering all the time, suddenly asked.

Yu Guiting was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this obvious? Two vs. two demons have a great advantage..."

"You went during the day, right? Can the devil attack with all its strength during the day? Could it be that the condition for the devil to use its full strength is the light? We didn't lack light in the lakeside cottage the next day." Carl grinned, "If the devils were only at the level of ordinary people at that time, just like Qiu Yiyun's state of losing power in the end, then it is normal not to attack?"

These words made Yu Guiting speechless.

"On the other hand, why didn't Lu Ning show up in person? To be honest, I don't quite understand where she has gone these days. The devil has great mobility at night, and even if she only uses a part of it, it is enough to master the competition. Let's get more information." Carl rubbed his chin, his stubble had grown long, it could be seen that he hadn't shaved for a while, and it seemed that he didn't have much time to take care of himself these days.

"So?" Sugiyama asked.

"So I'm wondering what her real purpose is. A plan that has been sorted out for so many days can't be just a superficial witch's return ceremony. It's not impossible for us to interrupt this ceremony as long as we dispatch all the staff. But this Is the ceremony really the key?"

"Mr. Carl, please tell me if you have something to say." Li Chuanliang said.

"There are untrustworthy people in this room." Carl leaned back on the chair, his eyes swept over the other eight people, "That devil is the key to the whole plan."

"what for?"

"I spread a lot of news, oh, it's better to say that it's a lot of false news. The pretense of Project Overcoming Sun has basically succeeded, and I've got the information I want to know." Carl took out a bullet from his bosom, vertically Put it straight on the table, and there is a pure white particle on the bullet.

"The Witch's Bones...Thanks to Inahara, although we don't know how she died, but her style can still be used."

Sugiyama was about to speak, but Asayama stopped him with a gesture.

"That particle is the Witch's Skeleton?"

"It's a product. I sneaked into Turner and Herman's house to look for it through the 'Yinyuan' that Inahara gave me. This is what I found. Of course, I didn't search randomly. The clue I have is the relationship with the witch. I know what kind of properties this thing has.” Carl twirled the bullet between his fingers, “And in this exciting infiltration work, I also met a very wise lady. Trust her Fu, I have passed on the most important piece of news."

Karl paused here and looked at everyone.

"Another piece of news I found related to the devil came from a friend of mine. Of course, before that, I always thought it was about the witch. Specifically, the devil found the easiest The place that resonated with the witch and built a residence there. There is no doubt that this refers to the lakeside cottage, and the most important step in the construction of this residence is to complete the connection with the witch."

Many people did not understand what this meant, only Fujii and Robert understood Carl's meaning.

"Broken connection?" Robert asked.

"That's right, Robert, the purpose of your trip to the mine should be to find the Witch's Key buried there, right? Although you didn't get anything, it should be the key item."

"Lu Ning acted ahead of us." Yu Guiting suddenly realized, "So there should be elements of her making trouble in the mine."

"Exactly, the biggest problem here is that the Witch's Key doesn't seem to be superfluous anymore. I think there may be opportunities before, but Lu Ning's movements are obviously much faster. But... since that thing can be made here, It is not impossible to make it again, so maybe this is the reason why the devil still has one lurking among us...to prevent us from finding a way to make it."

"The cottage by the lake is completely under Lu Ning's control." Shen Lishu said, "We don't have the energy to eliminate those incendiary bombs now, even if there is Lu Ning, he might be happy to see us wasting time on it."

"It's still in time." Fujii suddenly said, "The most critical issue is manpower. The death of Qiu Yiyun last night reduced the number of people who can act on the devil's side, and Lu Ning dared to tell me yesterday morning She has not taken any action for a day, which proves that there is something missing that hinders her from performing the ceremony."

"What is it?" Ye Chuqing asked.

"Witch's clothes." Fujii rubbed his temples to make his mind clearer, "This is a guess, we have a total of 24 people coming in, and the six ritual materials may not be evenly distributed, but probably four people have mastered one of the same The average level of clues, and among us, the clues grasped by me, Inahara, and Professor Shen are all witch clothes, and the clues of the three of us are absolutely impossible to leak from us, even if we pessimistically estimate that the remaining There are still two people who have relevant clues, but when the rest are almost confirmed to have been obtained by Lu Ning, the Witch's Clothes is the one that is most likely to delay Lu Ning's progress."

It won't be long, because both Fujii and Shen Lishu know that witch's clothes can be made, and there is no shortage of corpses as the main material in Baihu Town today.

"How long do we have?" Carl asked.

"The longest is not more than one day, and the shortest may be about twelve hours." Fujii gave an approximate figure.

"Then please allow me to leave first." Carl grabbed his hat and put it on his head, and put the bullets back in his pocket, "I'm going to make the final preparations."

After Carl left, Robert could only apologize to everyone: "That's just how he is."

"It's okay, there's always something he can't say, as long as he knows what he's doing." Fujii glanced at Sugiyama and Tachikawa, "Do you remember the preparations at the beginning? Inawara... probably couldn't finish it Step two, but she leaves room for step one."

"I will continue to finish this matter." Sugiyama gritted his teeth, "Since her star form can still be used, then she must still be alive, even for the possibility of surviving..."

"Having said that, don't be impatient." Li Chuan patted Sugiyama's shoulder lightly, "I will guard the last line of defense."

==========
Lu Ning walked barefoot on the beach of Baisha Lake.Now she already knows what the fine sand here is, and she can also imagine how much engineering was used to build the lakeside hut, even if these are not visible in this world.

Zhu You was standing in the forest not far away. She usually felt more secure in the sniper position. She would never do something like Lu Ning's now.

"Carl is a people type tourist, he does think outside the box, but the main thing is to develop relationships to organize action. I know a type of traveler, and she told me that it is easy for people who go this route. Inquire about some family secrets and other news, and be good at using the news network to create public opinion control... However, all of these actions also have a core, that is, the most important things will neither be handed over to others nor It will not be included in the news network." Lu Ning talked to Zhu You while walking like this.

"Is everything he told you false?"

"No, it should be said that it doesn't matter." Lu Ning smiled, "The only person he can trust in this scene is Robert, and Robert is very good at keeping secrets, so anything they do on the surface is irrelevant. I believe secretly he already knows all the important people in town."

"so what?"

"Kadrina already knows the function of the Witch's Bones, so she will definitely use that thing. The most obvious place here is the lakeside hut, which is the first target." Lu Ning pointed to the not far away place with her finger. The hut, "That's where today's decisive battle takes place."

"Today?" Zhu You obviously didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Yes, to avoid long nights and dreams. Although the time is [-] days, the task can be ended early. Now their analysis must think that what we lack is the witch's clothes. After all, it is difficult for us to pry open their clues. Mouth. Unfortunately, this is not my difficulty."

Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, approaching the shore from far to near.

"They will send over the Witch's Skeleton, and then initiate the ritual of the Witch's return."
