Recalling the painstaking efforts of honestly reviewing materials and studying history these days, Lu Xi squinted his eyes, but his tone was more leisurely and easy-going:

"The number of people who have passed away is as numerous as stars in history, and most of those buried here are ordinary people. Even a bard with too much leisure can't write a biography for every ordinary person, right?"

"How did Yu know?"

Heleyer snorted coldly:

"Yu Sheng is extraordinary, whether it is the history of the demon world or the human empire, there are Yu figures, even after death - as for what [ordinary people]? Perhaps, the [death] of a mere body is everything to them the end of."

"I won't deny your idea. Compared with me, there is someone who is more suitable to tell you whether this cognition is correct or not."

Glancing at the soft girl who seemed to want to say something, Lu Xi smiled slightly:

"The key now is what is your reason for destroying the tombstone."

"There is nothing to argue about. There is no data left, and what you can say next is nothing more than some unrealistic fantasies and speculations."

Feeling the inexplicable disappearance of the oppressive feeling caused by the curse of instant death on his body, Heleyer moved his body and let the flame gun in his hand dissipate in the air:

"Yu didn't want to hear that, and simply admitted that 'the clues are cut off, you can no longer investigate' is the consciousness that a man should have."

As Lu Xi said just now, Heleyer himself knew very well that there was no way to find out from the tombstone.

At most, that kid just found out some stories about the fundraiser and the doctor in this cemetery, without any evidence, and Yu can deny and overthrow it at will.

I thought I could feel a certain familiar aura from him, but unfortunately——

"Unfortunately, I still found out the clue."

Helaiye, who wanted to end the night and was about to dive back into the flames, turned around in shock when he heard this, but happened to meet Lu Xiliang's eyes:

"The crux of the problem lies precisely on the tombstone that you [did not kick down]."

------------

"...Human, have you lost your mind because of too many failures?"

The grinning smile on his face completely disappeared, and Heleyer showed a serious expression:

"Whether they were kicked down or not, the owner of this tombstone is not worth mentioning. Since this is the case, it is impossible to find information to verify their identities."

"Is it really so?"

Lu Xi paced to one of the tombstones, and read out the above content word by word:

"[Tom Regin—the owner of Tom Ranch, without heirs, died here with a doctor and friends]—if I remember correctly, this is the only tombstone you didn't kick down on the second night?"

"So what?"

Although no flaws were revealed in his mouth, there was still a hint of wavering in the depths of Heleye's eyes:

"Could this Tom be a celebrity? Have you found any information about him and Yu?"

"Of course not. There is no doubt that this Mr. Tom also belongs to the [ordinary person] just mentioned."

Shaking his head slowly, there was a subtle light in Lu Xi's eyes:

"What really puzzles me is, why didn't you [simply] kick down this tombstone?"

"Hey! Idiot Weak Weak Xi! Wasn't Nana blocking in front at that time!"

Sensing something wrong in these words, Celica quickly tugged on Lu Xi's sleeve, and whispered to his ear:

"It's not like you don't know about Nana's super talent. Even I am afraid of her sometimes, especially the mere Balrog!"

"At first, I thought he was afraid of Nana, but after seeing his actions just now, I overturned this idea."

Blinking at Celica, Lu Xi said to Yushia:

"Yusia should have found out too, right?"

"Well, in the same situation [with Nana in front of it] just now, the demon still kicked down the tombstone she was protecting by sneak attack."

Miss Saintess naturally didn't let go of this detail, but she couldn't figure out what could prove it:

"But, what does this prove? Could it be that this demon only had a grudge against a specific tombstone, and chose to kick them all down just to avoid people's eyes?"

"Regarding this, it is most convenient to ask Nana herself directly."

Deliberately making a joke first, Lu Xi looked at the soft girl beside him with encouragement in his eyes:

"Nai Nai, I remember that you helped the town repair the railing of an old ranch during the daytime the next day? Where did you get the information about it?"

"Hmm... that's what an old man in an apron told me when I came here during the day on the first day."

Pointing to a certain place in the cemetery, Nana thought about it seriously:

"I heard from the old man that the ranch was a testament to his life's hard work. It's a pity to see it slowly being abandoned. When he said this, the old man's expression looked very sad. That's why I promised to help him."

Grandpa?daytime?it's here?

Lika rolled her eyes and grabbed Yushia's hand tremblingly before finally not fainting.

"Nana did a great job."

Giving a thumbs up to Nana without hesitation, Lu Xi asked:

"Then after Nana helped the old man, have you seen him?"

"...No, not anymore."

Shaking her head honestly, Nana said what she saw:

"When I came here again the next day, Grandpa seemed to have something to do. The rest of the people told me that he was very grateful for what I did, and sent me various requests and entrustments."

"Oh, [Grandpa didn't come over because of something]."

She winked at the shadow under Nana's feet, and after the reliable puppet Mamayi jumped out and covered the soft girl's ears in an instant, Lu Xi looked at Heleye meaningfully:

"And that tombstone was never touched by you on the night of the third day, even without Nana's protection."

"You say, is this just a coincidence?"

Chapter 435 Heleyer's Concealment

Rhetoric is an art, and the most important thing is to be unpredictable.

Even if you haven't grasped the whole picture of the matter, you should bite to death the part you know, and then pretend to be "I know everything" to intimidate the other party.

"In fact, what I found was much more than that."

Facing Hleyer's gaze calmly, Lu Xi spread his hands:

"On the second night, only the tombstone of Mr. Tom, the rancher, was not damaged by you. However, on the third night, there were a few more unharmed tombstones, and then the same fourth night."

"During these days, our team has been scattered in the small town to move freely. And Nai Nai has handled a large number of commissions - it is worth noting that [all] people directly related to these commissions have passed away, so , it is easy to guess who asked Nana to help deal with these old things."

"Is it a ghost?"

First glanced at Nana who looked a little confused because Mamai had her ears tightly covered, and Yushia nodded thoughtfully:

"Nai Nai completed the ghost's commission, the ghost disappeared, and their tombstones were never touched by the demons again—so that's how things are connected in series."

Since no one except Ruanmei has the ability to see ghosts, everything that happened after coming to the cemetery is confusing.

When Lu Xi and the others tried to find clues from written materials or other people's mouths, without knowing it, Nana had opened the door to the solution for everyone without knowing it.

"So, if we also fulfill the wish of the owner of the last tombstone, what will happen to Mr. [Furious]?"

The moment of the most testing of acting skills finally came, Lu Xi slowly walked up to Heleye, and said in a low voice:

"It's all here, the rest is better to let you say it yourself, isn't it?"

"..."

"……amazing."

After a long silence, Heleye burst into flames all over his body, and laughed heartily twice as if he had let go of some burden:

"Very good! Although Yu did a perfect concealment this time, your abilities are still superior! For the first time in Yu's hundred years of thinking, you were able to see through the lie within a few days!"

"Then, Yu simply admits it!"

"Yu, it is precisely by using the [anger] of these spirit bodies towards Yu that he has been able to remain in the world!"

------------

"Yu, Heleyer, fulfilled his mission in the final part of the human-devil war, and severely wounded the enemy army with the flames of rage that will never go out. Afterwards, because he was outnumbered, Yu fell under the sword of the enemy soldiers. "

Heleyer is not the kind of character who likes to beat around the bush. In fact, as a simple cadre who likes to explain his abilities in front of the enemy, these words have been held in his heart for a long time:

"Fighting to death, Yu has no regrets in his heart. When he wanted to let the flames of anger dissipate like this, a human woman suddenly appeared beside Yu. After realizing Yu's surviving consciousness, she tried to save him Remain."

"That's what Yu said at the time: [Give up, human. Yu is a pure-blood demon, and will not allow something like the Holy Light to heal Yu's wounds. The war is not over yet, you are Yu's enemy], but that human The woman responded calmly: [I don't know the holy light, and the war is over, you lost again. Now, shut up and wait for treatment.] And then..."

As if recalling something interesting, a smile appeared on the corner of Heleyer's mouth:

"And then, that woman simply poured oil on Yu's body, and before Yu could react, a torch was thrown over. At that time, Yu was thinking, how can there be such a doctor who treats diseases and saves lives? He is called a reckless man. Or Berserker is about the same."

"No matter whether the process was in the woman's expectation or she happened to happen to, anyway, Yu survived by chance, and then, for some purpose, Yu and that guy came to this town together. Several years passed , she died, and decades later, Yu also died. But Yu borrowed the power of [Magic·Fury], relying on constantly destroying the tombstones of other spirits, collecting their anger, and has survived to this day—— Damn, Yu really is not Can tell stories, how to say it feels so plain."

"So that's it. The name of the 'doctor' in your description is [Nanding]."

In order to prevent Heleyer from discovering the flaws, Lu Xi did not tell him before that he had found information about Dr. Nanding, but now, since these are all admitted by Heleyer himself, they naturally never know whether they are true or false. became a reality:

"Because Nana accidentally helped the ghosts fulfill their wish, they no longer wander in the world, even if you kick down their tombstones, you won't get any more anger, so did you give up?"

"Hmph, that's right."

Hleyer sat back quite alone:

"You are all clear about the matter and Yu's abilities. As long as the last ghost's wish is fulfilled, the Yu who can't get [anger] will naturally dissipate—then hurry up and finish it, and don't worry about it here."

"..."

Obviously the resolution of the matter was just around the corner, but Lu Xi's footsteps stopped in place for some reason.

If it is said that we succeeded in [crusating] Helaier this time, then this success was actually accidental.

The core part of the whole incident is Nana.If she couldn't see the ghost, if she turned a blind eye to the ghost's request, if she didn't run back and forth to make the ghost's wish come true, then the infinitely resurrected Heleyer would not be defeated by us.

However, it seems that it cannot be said to be completely [accidental].

Looking at the soft girl who was standing obediently on the spot with Mamai covering her ears, Lu Xi sighed.

Any coincidence hides an essential [necessity].Only Nana can do all of this. In addition to her talent, her kind personality also determines that this kind deed will be rewarded.

...However, there is only one doubt in Hleyer's description.

"Hleyer."

"What?"

"Although I have only met you for a few nights, I can feel that you are not the kind of person who wants to survive. Even if you fall on the battlefield, you accept your ending calmly. Why do you rely on your demonic nature to live on after death? World?"

Staring closely at Heleyer's somewhat unnatural expression, Lu Xi asked word by word:

"What are you hiding?"

"...Bastard! Idiot! I want you to take care of it!"

Heleyer was furious all over, and turned his head rather subtly:

"Hurry up and get the job done, it won't be over if you beat me up, and you're not manly at all to talk to this guy!"

"【——The most unmanly person present is actually you, the idiot.】"

A slightly smiling voice suddenly sounded, but it made Heleyer turn his head to look in a certain direction as if struck by lightning.

There, Nana closed her eyes, but there was a chuckle from the empty place around her:

"[Honestly admit that you like me, is it that difficult for you?]"

Chapter 436 Boss... Battle?

"... Nana?"

Called out tentatively, but Celica's pupils trembled when she didn't get any response, and she instantly covered one of her eyes:

"Nai Nai's body has been completely occupied by something unknowable, otherwise, she would never ignore me!"
