At five o'clock in the evening, as the dark clouds completely enveloped Bami Island, all communications with the outside world were completely cut off.
Lu Ning walked into the restaurant, and Jasmine brought the meal prepared for her. Lu Ning nodded slightly to her, then sat down and started to eat.
She had dinner earlier.
"Jasmine, I have a question for you."
"Please speak."
Lu Ning raised her head and glanced at the maid: "Do the patterns on your clothes have any special meaning?"
"Ah, Master told us."
Jasmine smiled and replied: "Jasmine is given to those who are kind-hearted, rosemary is given to those who take responsibility, bay leaves are given to those who follow the rules, Ouba is given to those who act cautiously, lavender is given to those who maintain the family, and iris is given to those who are loyal to the clan elders. Mint is for those who discipline themselves, and ambergris is for those who have extraordinary courage."
Eight.
In other words, in this round, Musk still did not come to the island, and Jasmine also deliberately concealed this information.
"They should be assigned according to your most outstanding characteristics."
"Well, since the master thinks so, then we accept it. Anyway, we have only worked here for one year. No matter how the master evaluates us, it is all affirmation of us."
He just came here to work to improve his qualifications... If nothing happens now, people will not do anything too outrageous. The real outbreak will happen tomorrow.
"Thank you." She nodded slightly to Jasmine.
Eight, if musk also exists...or does musk have a special identity? But these will have to be collected later. As for the eight qualities, they are easily reminiscent of chivalric virtues. If this is the case, then there are quite a lot of various elements that Rennix has combined on the island.
After dinner, Lu Ning planned to go to the back garden before it rained. In the last round, few people went there due to the bad weather, and only the gardener Yin Asong lived there. .
However, when Lu Ning walked along the corridor from the hall to the back door, she saw three people standing on the porch outside the hall door, seeming to be chatting in a low voice.
Huo Yinglong, Zhai Jingqiu and the servant named Longxi.
The three of them also noticed Lu Ning coming out, but they just glanced here and continued talking in low voices. Lu Ning couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, so she simply continued walking to the back garden, but she still had some doubts in her heart.
In the last round, Huo Yinglong and Zhai Jingqiu came to the main hall to visit Rennix and did not stay much longer. They went directly back to the Qimu Hall and did not come again until the day of the family banquet.
Because Ambergris is still alive, some people's behavior has also changed? Is there any connection between Huo Yinglong and Ambergris?
If the servants are all people whom Rennix has sponsored, then the possibility that they have some connection with Rennix's children cannot be ruled out. But if this is really the case, there will be too much investigation to be done. Lu Ning does not intend to figure out everyone’s stories at once. After all, the story may be false, and what happened on the island is real. .
So under the influence of "change of tourist status" and "two new servants", I am afraid that everyone's behavior pattern will be different from the previous round.
Lu Ning thought and walked into the back garden.
After the weather became obviously bad, few people were willing to come out. But not far away, Lu Ning saw that Yin Asong was still conscientiously protecting every flowerbed with plastic sheets.
"Hello, Mr. Yin Asong."
"Hello, hello, are you a doctor? Haha, I never remember people...are you here to enjoy the flowers? In order to prevent them from being hurt by the heavy rain, I prepared plastic sheets for them, but it will definitely not affect them. The beauty of the flowers themselves." Yin Asong replied quickly.
"It's just a walk after the meal. You go ahead and get busy. If you want to cover all these flowers before nightfall, it will be a big project." Lu Ning said.
"Yes, it's a pity that there are no other gardeners on the island. When I get older, how will I be able to take care of these children?" Yin Asong continued his work, "Mr. Rennix doesn't care about these flowers and plants." I understand Shang Xin, after all, he has a lot of things to be busy with. But people like us, who have spent their whole lives tending flowers, will only like these."
"You make it sound like you are no longer young."
"I'm over forty years old." Yin Asong smiled, "Can't you tell on the surface?"
"I can't tell." Lu Ning looked at his appearance. He was completely modeled after tourist Yin Asong. He was no more than thirty years old.
"Maybe a mentality can make people look younger." Yin Asong continued to spread his plastic sheet happily.
Gardener Yin Asong and chef Pan Shen were almost outside the entire incident in the last round. One lived in the garden and would not leave unless someone called. The other one is almost a cooking tool and can only be found in the kitchen. The deaths of these two people can be said to be without incident, but would there be such a marginal figure?
Lu Ning didn't wander around the garden for long before returning to the room.
Tomorrow at noon, Rennix will announce the explosive news, and the evening will be the family dinner.
Immediately afterwards, there was uneasiness and suspicion. In this round, maybe Dimitri would still have a private chat with him to see if what Orlando said was right.
】
At night...there is a very critical question. That means, do tourists want to kill people? One of the reasons why the last round ended so quickly was that the actions of tourists quickly worsened the situation. In the end, all non-tourists on the island were wiped out, entering the ending mentioned by Fuchiko Watanabe. In order to collect clues and find the legacy, it is necessary to slow down a little.
Referring to her experience playing Rennix, no matter which character the visitor chooses to play, the arrangement of the distribution center will not allow him to directly obtain information about the inheritance. Therefore, if you want to find the inheritance, you have to start with various related people, and then guess... Watanabe seems to have some ideas, which means that this road is worth trying.
Then let her try.
Lu Ning was in a good mood and transferred the electronic version of Tsuburaya Temple Sora's works to the tablet, lay down on the bed and started leisurely reading.
At least one reason why Tsuburaya Temple Sora's travel notes are so popular is that his travel notes like to go to some hidden or curious places. People who don’t have the time or the inclination to go to that kind of place can get a glimpse of some local characteristics based on his travel notes. Moreover, Tsuburaya Temple Sora's travel notes are not boring. He even actively participates in some local events and communicates with local people. It is a more enjoyable reading experience than just recording some scenery and the like from a bystander's perspective.
"Walking in Huguang Valley" sounds like a very romantic title, but it actually records several villages enclosed by the high mountain environment. Tsuburaya Temple Sora has lived in these villages for a period of time. Surprisingly, the customs of these villages are quite different. Out of curiosity, he began to learn about the history of the village, visited the old people in the village, and gradually learned about the "Huguang Valley" in the mountains... The story has a suspenseful flavor and the adventure process has ups and downs, almost like an adventure.
Indeed, when Tsuburaya Temple Sora first published this travelogue, he was also questioned as fabricated. It was not until he took out some specialties recorded in the book that he suppressed some of the doubts. As for the address of Huguang Valley, he followed an agreement with the locals not to announce it. Readers actually didn't care whether what was written in this book was true or false, as long as it was good-looking, so under Sora Tsuburaya's disregard, the voice of doubt slowly disappeared.
At the end of the whole book, it ends with Tsuburaya Temple Sora finding Huguang Valley with the help of two young people from different villages, which is quite dreamy. It can be seen that the article deliberately omitted some descriptions of the hardships of traveling in the mountains and fields, and deliberately wrote about such places in a beautiful direction.
After reading this book, Lu Ning opened "The Lament of Gray Peak".
Although the writing style is very familiar, the links are not as relaxed as the travel notes. The story begins with a suspense incident fifteen years ago, and then the protagonist receives a letter sent ten years ago. According to the instructions of the letter, he and several friends go to the target location to find the truth of that year. . As the first book, it can be seen that Tsuburayaji Sora was still a little green when it came to the plot design. The content of the story was also advanced in a more classic suspense adventure story mode, and each puzzle was used as a guide to point to the end. The truth is "Grey Peak". This story is much longer than "Walking in the Lake Valley". When Lu Ning saw the end, she suddenly realized that it was already midnight.
"It's time to sleep..."
Obviously, "The Lament of the Gray Peak" has some settings based on the travel notes. Next, you will probably have to check one by one to see if there are any shadows from the previous travel notes in the following books, but Tsuburayaji Sora hid these. It's very hidden, and you still need to read it carefully. It's a long task.
However, Lu Ning was sure that she had a better mentality than many tourists. She closed her tablet and fell asleep, not worrying about what would happen at night.
And the night did pass normally.
The next day, Lu Ning got up normally, washed up, tidied the medicine box, went to Rennix's room for a health checkup, and received an invitation to the evening family dinner. The difference is that this time, Rennix did not ask Lu Ning for a drug that could restore vitality, perhaps because of the differences in the characters' personalities.
Then, it was breakfast time. The people already gathered in the hall were the same as the previous round. Neither Dimitri nor Cynthia came to the main hall for breakfast. The rest of the people gathered in the hall, including the new additions Ambergris and Mint, both of whom were busy here.
Lu Ning sat directly opposite Yuanguji Sora.
"Hello, Mr. Tsuburayaji."
"Ah, hello, Doctor Lu." Tsuburaya Temple Sora was drinking Miso soup. Hearing Lu Ning's words, he hurriedly put the bowl down and returned the favor quickly.
"I had nothing to do last night and read Mr. Tsuburayaji's works, which were very exciting." Lu Ning said with a smile, "So I can't wait to chat with Mr. today."
"Thank you for your love." After hearing that they were talking about works, Tsuburaya Temple relaxed a little, put down the bowl and said quickly, "Which one did you read?"
"Reading it from the beginning, "Walking in the Lake Valley" is indeed a very different book from the travel notes I know, and it has a refreshing feeling. Then there is "The Lament of Gray Peak", but it was too late and I haven't finished it yet. Mr. Tsuburayaji won’t blame me for not seeing enough, right?”
"Hahaha, of course not." Tsuburaya Temple waved his hand, "But you don't mind my early immature writing. Huguanggu just recorded what I saw and heard, and later wrote "The Lament of Gray Peak" To show some people that what I wrote is different from the actual record.”
"You were probably very distressed at that time, right?"
"That's not true. After all, I didn't expect the book to be a hit at the time. I just recorded an unusual journey. I also have to thank my editor. I didn't take care of things like the promotion and publishing of Huguang Valley. It was all done by him, and I just took my own share." Yuanguji Sora said with a smile, "Of course, if we talk about subsequent books, then I do intend to move closer in this direction. Since everyone is familiar with Huguang Valley If you are interested in places like this, I believe there are still many such interesting places on our planet, so I will try my best to find them, travel, and record them all."
"Your physique... doesn't look like an adventurer." Lu Ning said.
Tsuburaya Temple Sora shrugged: "Of course I'm not an adventurer. I just go on a trip, as long as I have the physical conditions of a normal person. I'm not going to dangerous places like closed tombs or undeveloped ruins. , it’s just hidden. Most people nowadays are busy with their work and life. If they really want to go out and look for it, they can find it.”
"I see. Is there any opportunity behind it? I feel like you wrote it at intervals."
"Because I have accumulated a lot of material during my travels. The bits and pieces are not suitable for writing in travel notes, but they are a good carrier. It happened that my first film at the time, ah, was "The Lament of the Gray Peak" "It seems to be very popular, so I just write it at intervals. After all, it's easy to get tired of writing in the same genre."
Lu Ning nodded: "I see. Then after I read all your works, I will talk to you again. I am actually very interested in some plots in the story."
"Thank you too, it makes me feel that my words are meaningful." Tsuburaya Temple said with a smile.
"Mr. Rennix invited you to the island, did he take a fancy to your talent, or did he hire you as a recorder?" Lu Ning asked again, "Just like Mr. Schlitt and Ms. Asaka Shinnomiya did?"
"Well, I have some guesses, but Mr. Rennix hasn't said it yet, so I can't say it clearly."
"understand."
After a few polite words, the two continued to eat breakfast.
Then, the sound of the violin came as expected, and Asaka Shinmiya walked out of the room just like the last time, and made a request to go out. Lanewood also asked two servants to follow him out. Next, Cynthia's arrival and Mayuri Daida's epilepsy also occurred one after another.
After all this, the most important time came - the appearance of Rennix.
As if at the right time, Lu Ning slightly raised her head and glanced upward, and saw Rennix appearing at the top of the stairs. Without the aid of medication, his energy was a little worse and his momentum was not as good as in the first round, but this made some people even more ready to move.
