No matter what Karl answered, he expressed that he was aware of the devil's mission status. It seemed that Robert's thinking had indeed been disturbed, and he even began to test the people around him in this way.
This was exactly the result Lu Ning wanted.
"I hope your friendship won't have any problems because of this."
"Haha, I haven't reached the level of speaking skills like this yet. But since he asked me such a question, it means there is some reason that drove him to do this. I'm afraid my old friend is also in trouble now."
"Do you have a candidate for Majin in mind?"
"You can't say this, especially at night." Carl blinked at Lu Ning, "We just have to know what's going on in our own minds, right?"
"Yes." Lu Ning smiled back.
Acting is so tiring.
After having dinner in the restaurant, she left Xia Xinhe, who was still giving a passionate speech, and returned to the car. The seeds of the Witch's Heart still needed to be planted, but she could not hear the real planting method.
But Lima must know.
The morning of the seventh day arrives like this, and generally speaking, when the scene reaches the halfway point, something big is about to happen.
Lu Ning got up early again, put on the backpack she packed last night, and walked quietly to the east of the town on the forest road.
The body of the crow that was killed in the car could not be found at all. There was not even any trace of blood left on the road. The only trace was the rut left by the car when it drove back in a panic. You can still see it if you go further. Some glass shards left behind when a window was broken in Suiyama.
When it was almost seven o'clock, Lu Ning came to the door of the lake house again, took out the key, checked the keyhole, and opened the door.
There was a soft sound, and it felt like something special was turning in the hand. A small current passed through the palm of the hand, making Lu Ning tremble slightly.
As soon as the door opened, the smell of dust and the cobwebs hanging in front of the eyes finally revealed the true appearance of the house.
This is the real lake house that belongs now. Although the tourist's mission can also be completed at the lakeside cabin that was trapped in the time trap before, this completely hides the real secret of the lakeside cabin.
There were a few relatively new paper bags thrown on the ground. Judging from the stains on them, they were probably for food. Lu Ning kicked the bag on the ground away, used a dagger to stir up the cobwebs blocking the way, walked to the corridor leading to the restaurant, and looked outside.
It was in a state of decay. The weeds that once covered the yard had long since withered and turned yellow, and the water in the pool had dried up. However, there were still some black rust deposits among the knee-high weeds.
As expected, this is not "now", but...
Lu Ning opened the door and walked out, picking up a rusty iron drill from the weeds.
This thing was used to pull the charcoal fire. Karl only used it to light the fire when grilling meat, and then he threw it aside casually. Naturally, no one paid any attention to it.
Walking to the edge of the pool again, the bottom of the pool was covered with gray mud. It was no longer clear what was buried inside, but there was still half a broken glass bottle in the grass beside it. Turning to look at the glass of the restaurant, there were already two gray holes.
past and present.
She could have guessed this result when she saw the scene when she entered the door. Now it was just confirmation, and it didn't bring much shock, but more emotion.
Throwing away the iron drill, Lu Ning turned back into the house, walked deep into the corridor, and headed towards the hot spring room.
The closer she got there, the more traces of domestic garbage she could see, and some plant roots visible to the naked eye had grown out of the gap under the closed door of the room. Lu Ning touched the half-dead witch's heart in her arms. Seed, then opened the door.
The hot spring has long dried up, and the huge pit emits a stench of rotting corpses. It looks like the corpses of some animals, and there are already familiar black filaments spreading outward on these corpses, and several flowers The newly sprouted witch's hearts grew among these corpses, and their roots grew extremely vigorously, spreading outside the pit.
In such an environment, there is a person wrapped in a dirty blanket in the corner, and a stack of paper bags is placed next to the person's hand. His hair and beard have become very long, and are covered with greasy stains. , if the body was not still rising and falling slightly, Lu Ning would even think that this was a dead person.
"Lima."
She spoke, looking directly across the room at the man. After hearing the sound, the man slowly raised his head. Surprisingly, his eyes were still clear.
"Lu... Ning."
Lima said something in a hoarse voice, then took out a kettle from behind, unscrewed it, took a sip for himself, and slowly exhaled.
"You're still here..."
"How could I not come? Why did you get yourself into this state?" Lu Ning asked, crossing her arms.
"To plant the witch's heart." The corner of Lima's mouth twitched, as if he was trying to make a smile, but failed.
"Are you referring to the things in the pool that make people feel something wrong at first glance?"
"I... know there is a problem, but I can't hide anymore. I have to plant them out before 'she' will let me go." Lima grunted and got up, and Lu Ning could see his hands. His feet were already skinny and skinny, but his body still maintained a normal human posture.
"Who are you talking about?"
"The witch...she whispers in my ears all day long, some I can understand, some I don't understand at all. I'm going crazy, you know? I don't dare to ask others, I'm afraid of being burned as the witch's lackey , so I did what she asked me to do according to at least my own understanding."
Lima walked to the edge of the pool with a sad look on his face.
"But the growth of the witch's heart is too slow, and it must be fed with blood. I went to the town several times to cover up the public, but I still couldn't clean up the tail. Everyone's vigilance has increased, and hunting has become more difficult... Unless I Prepare to attack people.”
"Were you responsible for the deaths and disappearances of dogs and cats in this town?"
"Of course, who else could it be?" Lima raised his head and glanced at Lu Ning, "This is wrong, very wrong... I wrote to you because I thought this plant was a new discovery, but now I just want to leave. Here! Lu Ning, you can help me, right?"
"Find blood food for you? Although it's possible..." Lu Ning paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "But you have to answer a few questions first."
"What?"
"How did you discover the Witch's Heart? Who told you how to grow it?"
"I went to the cemetery, you know that place? I was almost scared to death at the time, but I still picked up some samples and then used them for research. When I didn't have enough materials, the witch told me how to grow them."
"The witch informed you?"
"Haven't you heard? That whisper in your ear?" Lima's eyes widened slightly, but began to become cloudy, "She just whispered like that, without any emotion, just telling you what you need to know most. The thing tells you that she is like an omniscient god who will always tell you what to do is right at the right time!”
"No - you never had any doubts?"
"What are you doubting? The existence of the witch? That's unnecessary! I got the key according to her instructions and came to this place where no one will disturb me. It wasn't until you came in that the peace here was broken..."
"Lie." Lu Ning interrupted him directly.
Lima lowered his hands and looked at her.
"This is the current lake house, but it is also affected by countless influences from the past. So even if you are not disturbed by others here, you will still have to deal with those things because history has been interfered with again and again, right? In this case How can you carry out your planting with peace of mind under such circumstances?”
Seeing that Lima was silent, Lu Ning sneered and continued: "The huts in the past would keep returning to a brand new state, but not the current one? The glass in the restaurant is broken, and there are things we have used in the yard. The tools discarded there, all this shows that you are not disturbed or affected by anything here. So answer me, Lima, do you rely on everything here to judge the things that happen here? "
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Lima suddenly squatted down and let out an indescribable cry.
Lu Ning took a step back warily, and Lima started to laugh while crying. He kept scratching his beard with his hands, and even pulled off a piece. Blood slowly flowed out along the beard, covering his whole body. Everyone looks even crazier.
"You can't hear! You can't hear! So you can't understand! Take me away? Or let me die?"
Lima took a step forward, stretched out his hands in front of him as if begging, and said to Lu Ning tremblingly: "You don't know anything at all, and you have never experienced my fear. You must have heard about the witch in the town. Those legends, but you can’t even touch the edge of the truth!”
"What did you say?"
"Those stupid townspeople were like this a hundred years ago, and they were like this two hundred years ago, so they are still living in their own assumptions... Look at the sky outside, Lu Ning, can't you notice anything?"
Lu Ning raised her eyes and glanced at the cloudy sky outside the window. The early morning sky made the room even darker, but this was obviously not what Lima meant.
"Why can't the people of White Lake Town leave? Why are the outsiders they always wanted so rare? Why do people fall into panic so easily? Yet they still maintain that kind of superficial peace?" Lima grinned, revealing a face full of With a malicious smile, he asked questions loudly, "Why does the cemetery look like that? Why is the lakeside house closely related to the witch? Which family is the traitor? There are obviously so many weird things, why do you still pursue the surface? Peace?"
Lu Ning had thought about all these issues, but due to their relevance to the mission, he did not consider them first.
At this moment, when I first heard Lima ask, and contacted him again, I asked him to look out the window, and the answer was almost ready to come out.
"you mean--"
Click!
A thunder exploded from the window, covering up Lu Ning's next words, but Lima heard it, grabbed his face with both hands, and laughed hysterically.
"We are all slaves! We can't stop the witch from returning! All this has long been irreversible! But I don't want to die! What can I do? Tell me! Tell me!"
"There is no other way." Lu Ning put down her hand and slowly put her right hand into her pocket.
Lightning flashed outside the window.
In the room, Lima was also in this transition between light and darkness. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled off the tattered clothes on his body. His body has long been emaciated. The reason why he looked just like an ordinary person just now was because a layer of plant roots covered his entire torso, and at the heart, a bud was beating slowly.
"I can't die, Lu Ning... I have already used this method... Lu Ning... help me..."
With words of prayer in his mouth, Lima's body stumbled into a pool full of corpses. He climbed up from there and dug out a handful of black material in his hand.
Those are weakly active witch's heart seeds.
"Or, I should try something else, right?"
Lima roared and smashed the pile of seeds towards Lu Ning. Lu Ning realized something was wrong and immediately dodged to the side. Most of the seeds were gone. Only the tip of her left middle finger was rubbed by a seed. The seed actually stuck to her fingertips like cocklebur sticky coat, and then quickly broke apart. Opened, a thin thorn-like stem pierced directly into the finger.
With a flash of sword light, Lu Ning cut off the knuckles together with the crazily growing witch's heart without hesitation. Then he immediately handed the knife to his left hand, pulled out a pistol with his right hand and fired five or six shots at Lima.
"Oooo!"
Several holes were punched out by the plant roots on Lima's body, but as he said, he couldn't die in his current state, even if one shot hit his lungs and the other hit his throat.
"Are you still considered a human being like this?" Lu Ning asked mockingly.
"I also want to die as a human being!" Lima cried, grabbing two handfuls of seeds and jumping directly out of the pool. His torso, which seemed to be broken by a touch, had unparalleled explosive power. For ordinary people, He is definitely a difficult character to deal with.
But the one standing here is Lu Ning.
"Six fifty-five."
Lima didn't listen to what Lu Ning was saying at all, but relied on his immortal body to rush forward desperately, trying to throw more seeds on her. However, the handful of seeds thrown this time completely failed.
The human torso turned into black ribs, with more gaps allowing most of the seeds to pass directly through, and the few that hit could not parasitize the demon's body.
"Look, I didn't have to hear her voice at all."
Lu Ning put the sword and gun back to her waist, and the fingers of her hands began to extend rapidly, turning into sharp blades. She did not fully show her true body, but even this appearance was enough to make Lima realize what happened.
"you you……"
"I completely understand what you mean. Although I don't know where you heard these secrets from, as long as you die, all of this will be buried forever, and no one will know about it except me."
Lima turned his head sharply and was about to run to the locker room. However, even though his body was somewhat strengthened, he could not compare to the four times strengthened Demon. As soon as he completed the turning action, Lima found ten black knife tips emerging from his chest.
"Death, isn't this what you have been begging for just now? Or is even this request just a lie?"
"In no mood……"
The blade turned horizontally and was quickly pulled apart to the left and right. Lima's body protected by the witch's heart was broken into several pieces. The heart flew into the air and was nailed into the wall by a black demon blade.
Lu Ning quickly restored her hands and repaired the missing knuckles. Looking at the mess in front of her, her face darkened.
This damn scenario was more complicated than she thought.
