Qiu Yiyun's ribs poked a silver sword tip. It was not very long, but because of its sharpness, it penetrated the demon's shell without any hindrance and reached the internal organs.
Yiluo's mouth was bleeding, and he threw away the stabbing sword with only one hilt left in his hand. He directly clamped Qiu Yiyun's arm that had pierced him with both hands, although it had lost much power.
"Ye... let's go..."
he said to the person behind him.
"Asshole! I can cure this little injury just by eating it!" Qiu Yiyun was furious, her body changed, and she was about to spit out colloid and swallow Yiluo.
"Eight o'clock...a quarter." Yiluo grinned, "Lu Ning helped you and reminded us..."
The colloid with powerful devouring power did not appear, and even the shell on the surface of Qiu Yiyun's body began to become charred and dry, slowly falling, and the flames began to burn her skin. Unknowingly, Qiu Yiyun's demonic transformation time today Already used up.
"Damn it..." Qiu Yiyun stabbed Ilo's arm with a knife, but four times the strength disappeared and she couldn't break free for a moment.
"Hahaha! 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 gaze, Iroh finally let go of his hand, then opened his arms and rushed towards her, and behind her was the corridor surrounded by fire.
"Lu Ning ah ah ah ah ah!"
With the last roar, Qiu Yiyun was pressed by Iroh and rolled into the flames, and then the ceiling collapsed.
==============
Snapped.
Lu Ning closed the notebook in her hand and made a crisp sound.
"Does this count as my killing?"
Her demon mission [Kill at least three tourists at the lakeside hut] was just announced as completed, and the count became [4/3].
She didn't know what happened at the lake house, but except for Milly and Minan, she basically took the last spot and saw who was unlucky enough to offend her. She asked Zhu You to remind Qiu Yiyun that the time to become a demon was almost running out at 8:15, so she took the opportunity to escape, but she really had no intention of killing her teammates.
But she probably wouldn't care if she knew about it. In the end, she had already taken into account everything that should be taken into consideration. She couldn't fully account for her teammates' personalities.
The fire town here may pay attention, but there is a bigger mess in the warehouse. It is estimated that for a while, the problem of the lakeside cabin will not be taken care of. Once the time is restored, the cabin will return to its original state, including the bombs she set.
In this way, if tourists want to complete the eight-hour stay, they must first find a way to eliminate the threat of incendiary bombs in the house. It is conservatively estimated that it will take one day. Within this day, Lu Ning can prepare all the materials for the ceremony.
The rhythm is perfect.
She leaned against the tree trunk, narrowed her eyes comfortably, and slowly fell into sleep.
Morning comes quickly.
Shen Lishu and Ye Chuqing, who escaped that night, reported the news that a bomb had been arranged in the lakeside cabin, and informed everyone in the town of the identities of the three demons, including Lu Ning. But this is no longer critical information. Fujii Yukine regained consciousness earlier today, and everyone still in the hotel knew the news. What is more important now is that the Herman family quickly welcomed the third child. The second funeral - the head of the family, Fisher, was assassinated in his bedroom in the middle of the night yesterday, along with his wife. The new head of the family, Cardrina, refused all visits and stated that the death of the head of the family would not change the Herman family's next actions, but no one knew what "action" meant.
And Lu Ning's attitude was already very clear. When Suiyama took out the drawing of the jigsaw puzzle of the lake house, everyone quickly matched the witch's possessions represented by the drawing based on the clues in their hands.
Fujii's consciousness was still a little dazed, and Carl was a little absent-minded, so Robert became the leader of the meeting.
"Lu Ning's intention is undoubtedly to use this ritual to recall the witch. Now what we have to decide is whether we should wait for her to complete the witch's return and then see if there is a way to eradicate the witch; or stop Lu Ning and let the witch return. fail?"
"No one wants to take that option now. We are already severely short of manpower." Sugiyama said gloomily, "Even if Iroh succeeded in replacing Qiu Yiyun last night, I'm afraid all the missing people have been killed by Lu Ning An secretly got rid of him, but there is also a demon among us, so we are 8 to 3, and we are even more disadvantaged than before!"
"You can't say that..." Qianshan smiled bitterly, "It's not necessarily that all the missing people have been killed, otherwise the few who went to the mine before might not be able to survive..."
"If two demons were 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, "And now that it is confirmed that Lu Ning is the demon, then the three of us He must not be a demon anymore.”
"Why?" Karl, who had been a little distracted, suddenly asked.
Yu Guiting was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this obvious? Two versus two demons have a great advantage..."
"You guys are going during the day. Can the Demon be able to attack with all his strength during the day? Is it possible that the only condition for the Demon to use his full strength is the light? Then we will have no shortage of light sources at the lakeside cabin the next day." Karl grinned. "If the demons were only at the level of ordinary people at that time, just like Qiu Yiyun when he finally lost his power, then it would be normal not to attack, right?"
These words left Yu Guiting speechless.
"On the other hand, why didn't Lu Ning show up in person? To be honest, I haven't quite understood where she has been these days. The demon has great mobility at night, and even if she only uses part of it, she can master the game. We need more information." Karl touched his chin. His stubble had grown long. It could be seen that he hadn't shaved for a while. It seemed that he didn't have much time to take care of himself these days.
"So?" Suiyama asked.
"So I'm wondering what her real purpose is. A plan that has been sorted out for so many days cannot be just a witch's return ceremony on the surface. It's not impossible for us to interrupt this ceremony as long as we all mobilize. But this Is the ritual really the key?”
"Mr. Karl, please make it clear if you have anything to say." Ryo Tachikawa said.
"There is someone in this room who cannot be trusted." Karl leaned back on his chair and glanced across the other eight people. "That devil is the key to the entire plan."
"what for?"
"I spread a lot of news, oh, it's better to say a lot of false news. The cover of the sun-resurrection plan has basically been successful. I have got the information I want to know." Karl took out a bullet from his arms and raised his eyebrows. Placed directly on the table, there is a pure white particle on the warhead.
"The Witch's Skeleton...Thanks to Inahara, although we don't know whether she is alive or dead, her style can still be used."
Suiyama was about to speak, but Asayama stopped him with a gesture.
"That particle is the witch's skeleton?"
"It's a product. I used the 'Yin Yuan' that Inahara gave me to sneak into Turner and Herman's house to look for it. This is what I found. Of course, it was not a random search. The clue I had was the connection with the witch. I know what kind of properties this thing has." Karl rotated the bullet between his fingers, "And during this somewhat exciting infiltration work, I also met a very intelligent lady. Thanks to her Fu, I spread the most important piece of news."
Karl paused here and looked at everyone.
"The other piece of information I found related to the devil came from a friend of mine. Of course, before that, I always thought it was talking about the witch. Specifically, the devil found the easiest place in White Lake Town. The place resonated with the witch, and a residence was built there. There is no doubt that this refers to the lake house, and the most important step in building this residence is to complete the connection with the witch."
Many people didn't understand what this meant. Only Fujii and Robert understood what Karl meant.
"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 gain anything, it should be the key item."
"Lu Ning took action before us." Yu Guiting suddenly realized, "So there should be elements of her causing trouble in the mine."
"Exactly, the biggest problem here is that there seems to be no more need for the Witch's Key. I think there may have been a chance before, but Lu Ning's movements are obviously much faster. But...since that thing can be made here, It’s 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 lakeside cabin is completely under Lu Ning's control." Shen Lishu said, "We don't have the energy to eliminate those incendiary bombs now. Even Lu Ning might be happy to see us wasting time there."
"It's still in time." Fujii suddenly said, "The most critical issue is manpower. Qiu Yiyun's death last night reduced the number of people on the demon side who can act. And Lu Ning dared to tell me about himself yesterday morning. As a demon, she has not taken any action for a day, which proves that there is something missing that hinders her from carrying out the ritual."
"What is it?" Ye Chuqing asked.
"Witch's Clothes." Fujii rubbed his temples to make his mind clearer, "This is a guess. There are twenty-four of us coming in. The six ritual materials are not necessarily evenly distributed, but it is probably four people who have mastered it. An average level of the same clues, and among us, Professor Inahara, Professor Shen and I all have the clues of the Witch's Clothes, and based on the voices of the three of us, it is absolutely impossible for clues to leak out from us, even if we are pessimistic. There are still two people left who have relevant clues, but among the others who are almost confirmed to have been obtained by Lu Ning, the Witch's Clothes is the one most likely to delay Lu Ning's progress."
This will not take long, because both Fujii and Shen Lishu know that the witch's clothes can be made, and corpses as the main material are not lacking in Baihu Town today.
"How long do we have?" Carl asked.
"The longest will not exceed one day, and the shortest may be about twelve hours." Fujii gave a rough figure.
"Then please allow me to take my leave first." Karl grabbed his hat, put it on his head, and put the bullet back into his pocket. "I'm going to make final preparations."
After Carl left, Robert could only apologize to everyone: "That's how he is."
"It doesn't matter, there is always something that cannot be said, as long as he knows his actions." Fujii glanced at Sugiyama and Tachikawa, "Do you still remember the preparations at the beginning? Inahara... probably failed to complete it. The second step, but she left room for the first step.”
"I will continue to finish this matter." Suiyama gritted his teeth, "Since her star style can still be used, she must still be alive, even for this little chance of survival..."
"Having said that, remember not to be impatient." Tachikawa gently patted Suiyama's shoulder, "I will guard the last line of defense."
==========
Lu Ning walked barefoot on the beach of Baisha Lake. She now knows what the fine sand here is, and can also think of the amount of work that went into building the lake house, even if it is not visible in this world.
Zhu You stood in the forest not far away. Normally, the sniper position made her feel safer. She would never do what Lu Ning was doing now.
"Karl is an interpersonal type of tourist, and he does think outside the box, but the main aspect is to develop interpersonal relationships to carry out organizational actions. I know a tourist of this type, and she told me that it is easy for people who take this route He has learned some family secrets and other information, and is good at using the information network to create public opinion control... However, all these actions also have a core, that is, the most important things will not be left to others, nor will they be handed over to others. It won't be put into the news network." Lu Ning just walked and talked to Zhu You.
"Is everything he told you false?"
"No, it should be said that it is irrelevant." Lu Ning smiled, "The only person he trusts 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?"
"Kaderina already knows the function of the Witch's Skeleton, so she will definitely use that thing. The most obvious place here is the lakeside cabin, which is the first target." Lu Ning pointed with her finger at the not far away place. The cabin, "that's where today's decisive battle will take place."
"Today?" Zhu You obviously didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Yes, in order to avoid long nights and long dreams, even though the time is fourteen days, the mission can be ended early. Now in their analysis, they must think that what we are missing is the witch's clothes. After all, it is difficult for us to pry open their clues. Mouth. Unfortunately, this is not my problem."
There are ripples on the lake, approaching the shore from far to near.
"They will send the witch's skeleton over and then personally initiate the witch's return ritual."
