Lima respected what the witch said like a god, and he wrote it down verbatim. Lu Ning quoted a few sentences casually and made Daniel want to jump out of bed to talk to other people about it, but it was still the same in the ward. The doctor has the final say.
After treating the wound, she specially called two townspeople to send the police chief to the Turner family's house. She believed that he would convey those words verbatim. However, the Sheriff's nerves were obviously much tougher than those of the established families here. She did not scare the other party with those words, nor did she convey the witch's will.
This is normal. Compared with actions such as assassinating the mayor and blowing up the police station, what Lu Ning did was just lip service. She also admires those demon companions who persevere in creating terror and evolving their abilities. Sometimes ignorance is really a blessing. After all, that method can indeed achieve victory. It is simple, efficient and does not require any complicated plans. .
This can be regarded as a common norm in the second level. Veterans who can pass the test of promotion are no longer timid, but dare to explore scenes and complete tasks according to their own way of doing things, even if they take risks and take some radical actions. That's too much. Such a state mostly appears among ordinary tourists, but Lu Ning can understand from the information of the Silver Star Society that very few such people can advance.
The difficulty of the scenes in the distribution center is not divided by the level of power that appears in it. The difficulty of an interstellar-level remote combat scene is not necessarily higher than that of a ghost story in a hospital. To adapt to the content of these scenes, people must comprehensively improve their skills. All strengths - pure wisdom route or force route, even if they are lucky enough to pass the second level promotion, they will be stuck at the third level promotion.
Therefore, the organization uses the lower difficulty, "cheap and easy to use" second-level scenes as the first choice training ground for members. For Lu Ning, simply going through the scenes is not enough. She needs to learn as much as possible to reveal the most mysterious things in the scenes. Conspiracy, and participating in battles that just reach the upper limit of one's combat power.
"No matter which scene it is, it is ultimately a question given to the tourists by the distribution center... not the people or monsters in the scene. From this perspective, the only demons considered are me and him."
Lu Ning walked towards the tin-plated wine jug, thinking about the details of each demon's actions in her mind.
"Go away with one blow, leaving no evidence except the demon attack, and killing people neatly. He is more ambitious than me, and he has to try both ways... Anyway, in that case, I'm afraid he won't be found out. The truth of this world is not far away, I wonder if he will give up the second way at that time?"
She didn't need to think about this kind of thing for the time being, because just when she was approaching the tin-plated wine bottle, she felt a moisture in the air, and with it came a mist that shouldn't appear at this time at all. .
The fog does start very quickly in some places, but Baihu Town is definitely not one of them!
After so many days, the demon who controlled the fog finally couldn't help but take action again, and this time not only did the range of the fog expand, but it also seemed to have some kind of sound insulation effect.
The fog quickly thickened, and Lu Ning soon fell into a state where she couldn't see her fingers again. It seems that the seventh day has entered the moment when the demons think they can start the attack, and they can't even wait until nightfall to start the action.
All sounds seemed extremely distant in the white mist, and there was even an unknown amount of delay. After the sound waves were filtered by the fog layer, there was a strange sense of expansion, which made the ears feel a little uncomfortable.
However, his actions were not affected in any way. Lu Ning fumbled and touched the wall of the tin-plated wine pot, and then happened to hold a hand while continuing to look for the door.
The other party let out an exclamation. This time, because he was closer, the sound distortion was not that severe.
"Sharma?" Lu Ning could barely distinguish the voice.
"Who is it? What happened? What's going on with this fog? Go call someone!"
"Call someone?"
Sharma came closer and recognized Lu Ning's outline. She looked panicked: "Mr. Adams is in the store! He and several clerks from the Turner family came to investigate the resonance phenomenon, but now... the witch must be trying to Attack him! Please save him!"
Lu Ning let go of Sharma's hand.
"late."
Among the six demons, the one who uses the mist is really gathering momentum. Lu Ning doesn't even know how the opponent's abilities evolve, but this does not prevent her from realizing that the opponent's attack will kill him decisively.
But it's not yet seven o'clock, so maybe the opponent's speed isn't that fast yet.
Lu Ning opened the door frame and walked into the tavern. She could already smell the smell of blood. The screams of being pulled out of shape by the mist echoed in her ears. She kicked four or five stools away before walking to the bar.
The bar that was usually neatly tidied by Sera was already covered with sticky blood. The white mist would undoubtedly not affect the owner who released it, and the swiftness of the other party's attack was also expected.
It must have been less than ten minutes since the fog arrived. Lu Ning looked along the bar. Adams and three other unknown people had all had their throats cut. They were fatal with one blow. If Lu Ning faced the immobile target, It can be done, but in such a short period of time, it is not an ordinary combat ability to complete the assassination of four people who have the power to resist without transforming into a demon.
But the next second, Lu Ning realized that she had probably overestimated the situation here. The white mist should still have some slight paralysis effect. She saw Sera lying on the ground from behind the bar. She was still conscious and tried to go to the bar. After climbing out, Lu Ning went around to help Sera up, but was surprised to find that her left hand had been cut off.
"I'll take you out first." Lu Ning tied up Sera's wounds and carried her out of the house. However, Sera regained a little energy at this time and spoke in Lu Ning's ear with a voice as thin as a gossamer. Said: "It's a witch..."
"Witch?"
"I heard it, I knew what resonance was, but she didn't speak to me... Are they dead?"
"All dead."
"Come on! Come on, she's still here, she's coming -"
Cerrado didn't need to say anything, Lu Ning finally heard it.
That "voice" did not have real sound characteristics, but sounded directly in my mind, as if it was the meaning naturally generated by my thoughts. Because of this, the white mist cannot stop the spread of this "sound". Lu Ning found that she could not understand too many meanings in the voice. As Sera said, the voice was not speaking to her, so what she "heard" was just some fragmented information.
[Kill...the custodian...release...the executioner. 】
There was no reply. The demon who took action here knew that there were still survivors. Even if the fog could not block the opponent's vision, Lu Ning would probably be completely exposed to the opponent's sight.
While she was carrying Sierra towards the door, she listened intently to what was going on there, but until she left the tavern, no one came to attack her, and the fog even began to dissipate.
Sharma squatted at the door and ran over in panic when he saw Sera's appearance, and almost fainted when he saw several corpses next to the bar in the tavern.
"By the way, Tina! Tina is still in the kitchen! Have you seen her?"
Her face was extremely pale, and the haemorrhage had seriously affected her ability to move when she saw the blood dripping from Sera's wrist, not to mention the tragic situation in the room.
At this moment, there were already townspeople who came after hearing the news, and they all ran into the tavern when they heard Sharma's call. There was no doubt that everyone at the bar was dead, but a few other drinkers managed to survive, but the numbness in their bodies had not yet been eliminated.
The kitchen... is an uncomfortable fact.
Tina was dead. The attacker walked in through the back door and spread out the fog to attack. Tina, the only person in the kitchen at the time, of course became a blocker.
Sharma couldn't hold on any longer after hearing the news and fainted, while Sera bit her lip and even drew blood. She stood up with Lu Ning's support and tried to walk into the tavern, but she still couldn't. He was pulled in place by Lu Ning.
"Your injuries need to be treated and your testimony is important."
Sera turned her head and glanced at Lu Ning, her strength slowly loosened, and she knelt on the ground, letting out a heartbreaking cry.
=====================
"Carl, we were wrong."
In the hotel room, Karl held a vial in his hand, and a paper figure inside was fluorescing.
"Ah... the killings in the tavern show that the demon's restraints are not as strong as we thought, or that the restraints are lifted very quickly."
"Indeed, I have investigated the scene. The demon has not cleaned up the traces at all. The signs of intrusion from the back door are too obvious. Although Sivis, Daniel, Fisher and Levin have been notified to protect their own safety, they are still under such frequent assassinations. Survival is simply not guaranteed."
"The gap in strength is too huge, and our strength has no place to be used." Karl sighed, "What do you think, Miss Detective?"
"Why do you think Sivis and Daniel didn't die, but Adams was killed instead?"
"It's not the same demon who did it, so his strength may be different. According to eyewitness testimony, the person who killed Adams was obviously the guy who released the fog, that is, the person who killed Xue Fengchun the second night. This person's attack speed and ruthlessness were Other demons are completely different.”
"Any more?"
"The Witch has a reason to kill Adams." Karl said, "But I can't tell from the report I know. I asked the ranger, but there are no clues about the whereabouts of the missing person. On the contrary, he and the Demon were found. A piece of information about people.”
"What?"
"Under the guidance of the witch, the demons were born. They naturally followed the witch's instructions and tried to convey the witch's will to everyone in the town."
A brief silence followed.
"This is wrong logic."
"Well, after listening to what you said, I don't think it's right either."
"The information was confirmed through the distribution center mission?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't use affirmative sentences. Do you know what this means?"
"There must be something terribly wrong where we—wait?"
Fujii Yukine's voice was no longer calm. She seemed to have realized something, but it was a little hard to believe.
"It seems that we thought of it together." Karl smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know if this was a trap intentionally set by the devil, but we made a mistake, an arrogant mistake that is unique to us. "
"Is there any possibility of redress?"
"It's... very difficult. It's difficult to make everyone believe this inference without evidence, not to mention how to deal with the suddenly changed environment after this. And do you know what change means?"
Fujii over there thought for a moment before answering.
"Completely overthrow the previous strategy, and it may not win, and the score will be extremely low or even negative."
"This result cannot be accepted by everyone."
"But if it doesn't change, it won't be a good ending."
"That way you can just complete the required tasks and survive. Fujii, if we talk about it now, we won't even have a reasonable plan. The other most important point is that neither you nor I can come up with the 'correct' one." Plan coming.”
Karl watched the fluorescence in the bottle gradually dim, knowing that the call time was coming soon. Inahara once said that the communication of "Star Giant Gate" was highly confidential, but the time could only last about five to ten minutes.
"Tachikawa, Inahara and Suiyama will support us...Fujii, you can continue, but I'm not sure how long we can support you. You have to know that their secret does not include helping us until the end."
"I know. Carl, but we are certainly not helpless..."
Communication is interrupted.
The door to Karl's room was opened, and Robert walked in, looking very wrong.
"What? The detection silver coin you left didn't react?"
"No...everyone reacted." Robert gritted his teeth. "The demons used chaotic tactics. They did not intend to eliminate their own suspicions, but began to make everyone appear suspicious."
"That means our pretend alliance plan has broken down." Karl frowned, "But if the devil can launch such a plan, does it mean that they have completed their alliance?"
"Single-line contact tactics." Robert leaned back in his chair, and his straight body collapsed completely. "Corresponding to the state where they didn't know each other at the beginning, they secretly conducted a one-to-two single-line contact, and everyone at most I’ll only be in contact with two demons, that’s about it.”
The two looked at each other. This method can be regarded as one of the characteristics of the distribution center.
Its ultimate is called the ring contact method, and the higher level is the spherical contact method. In the distribution center scene, there are three benefits. The first is that it is suitable for this kind of unknown status to quickly and safely build the contact network of the entire camp. , the second is that even if there is a problem in any one of the links, people outside the link can get the alarm and a certain period of safety, and the third is that as long as the people in charge of key plans occupy the furthest nodes in the ring , the intermediate contacts can complete parallel strategy implementation without worrying about mutual influence by only communicating and executing.
Although this will inevitably lose a lot of joint execution capabilities, as long as the core nodes in the ring are strong enough, it will be a nightmare for the opponent.
Now, Carl and Robert are facing such a nightmare.
