Looking at the man in front of him who had an unclear expression on his face, [Yin Asong] had already noticed the difficulty of this scene.
After he and Orlando were eliminated early in the last round, the two made certain plans for the next round. First of all, we can no longer choose the person in the center of the whirlpool. The second is to broaden information channels and verify the information that tourists knew during previous discussions.
And in this way, the candidate will actually be easy to decide. He plays the role of Kuzumi Heimai, a long-sleeved accountant who has a good relationship with most people, and this identity is not very critical. He has ample opportunities to inquire about information about the Howard family from different people.
Orlando chose to play Zhai Jingqiu this time. The identity of the detective is conducive to some authoritative speeches after the murder. At the same time, he can also use this identity to dig out the secrets of most people. It can be regarded as a backhand role.
However, what I didn't expect this time was that the characters in the scene were struck directly by the opening lightning strike. On the first day, they killed all the servants, and on the second day, they sent Rennix away. They really didn't leave any breathing room. In an instant, everyone was in a tense situation.
After questioning Yin Asong to no avail, Enwood asked someone to keep an eye on the gardener. He and Dimitri went to search the gardener's cabin. To be honest, they actually found something.
In the mezzanine of the wardrobe in the gardener's cabin, Lanewood found two books, the titles of which looked very scary - "Broken Ritual" and "Excerpts from Purgatory Sin Documents".
Lanewood and Dimitri looked wrong when they got these two books back, as if they were planning to kill Yin Asong here.
"What is this?" Schriter asked in confusion.
"It's a magic book and spell-casting materials." Lenwood threw the things on the table. "This man is a devil worshiper."
"Huh?" Schlit, Han Xizhe and others all expressed confusion.
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that Rennix would recruit such a person to his side. What did he want to do?" Kagabo sneered, "Devil worshiper, haha, devil worshiper. Maybe he was the one who killed Rennix!" "
"I...impossible, the master is dead? How could the master die?" Yin Asong's expression suddenly became very ferocious. When he came to Enwood to question him, he did not inform him of the death of Rennix, but now he has to After hearing the news, the gardener seemed to be a changed person and started scratching his hair frantically.
"Renix is dead, and all of us have seen his body." Gustav said coldly, "Now, do you want to tell me why you have these two books, and what they have to do with Rennix. ?”
"I...I...the master is my guide. What's wrong? Don't you know? Don't you and his children know what Rennix is studying?" Yin Asong asked filial piety. Enwood et al.
"Of course I know." Lanewood laughed, "Are you questioning me, the temporary patriarch of the Howard family? Then I can tell you that your understanding of your father is limited to what you know."
"Father knows a lot about demonology." Cynthia whispered, "But he is not only proficient in demonology."
Yin Asong was stunned for a moment.
"I'm afraid your madness is because your father led you to make a deal in hell?" Huo Ying said calmly, "I don't know what you have experienced, but with my father's knowledge, he specially selected demonology as the magic for you. Enlightenment, that means you are not worth saving."
"Because the souls of devil worshipers have been bound to the devils they worship, they will inevitably fall into hell after death." Felicia said with a smile.
Yin Asong looked around at the Howard family members, and the madness on his face suddenly turned into horror.
"You, you all know, you Howard family members..."
"We were trained by our father, and we have to receive more education than people like you." Dimitri kicked the decorative statue next to him in annoyance, "Magic is different from superpowers. There is a magic book Shu, we can see at a glance that you were trained in orthodox magic, but you just taught it and then let it go."
"However, his suspicion is relatively light, Lanewood." Milia whispered beside Lanewood, "There should be no one on this island who can kill his father with magic."
"There is nothing that may not exist in a devil worshipper." Lenwood reached out and picked up the book called "Borrowing Bones as Rituals". "Lawyer Han, can you please help me read it?"
Han Xizhe was startled: "What? This -"
"Please don't worry. It doesn't matter if this kind of book is read by people who have not learned any magic knowledge, because it cannot sense the magic in you and will not respond to chanting. And if it is us, it is very likely Will establish a connection with the devil." Lanewood put the book on the table, "Of course, if you don't want to...if the rest of you can help, you can. I can pay enough, after all, this is likely to be related to the death of my father. There is a connection.”
"I don't need any reward..." Orlando suddenly stepped forward, "But I'm a little curious, what kind of magic did you learn from Mr. Rennix?"
Lanewood didn't answer, and the other people didn't mean to answer either.
"Well, well." Orlando opened the book.
The text in the book is written phonetically, so the pronunciation may be a little inaccurate, but it can still be read. Lu Ning didn't understand what it meant at all, but she looked at the expressions of others and it was obvious that there were only five people in total who could understand.
Lanewood, Gustav, Justina, Kagabo, and...Mayuri Daida.
"Thank you, Mr. Orlando." Lanewood nodded after hearing this, "Your reward will still be paid to you after we leave the island. As for this guy, I think it is better to imprison him first to prevent him from having a chance. It’s better to cast a spell.”
"But in this case, who is the murderer of my father?" Huo Yinglong asked.
"I think ... as unlikely as it may seem, it's possible that the father committed suicide," Lanewood said.
"What did you say?" Cynthia sneered, "Suicide? This is not a joke."
"The so-called elimination of all impossibilities, the remaining is the right choice. Since no one can kill his father easily, then the only one who can kill his father is himself, and only he can use the magic props prepared in his room to kill himself ." Lanewood said, "As for why the father committed suicide, that is another matter that we have to seek answers to."
"I'm sorry, I can't accept this explanation." Huo Yinglong shook his head, "I don't think my father will commit suicide."
"Then you can find the truth on your own, Huo Yinglong." Lanewood smiled.
Due to the existence of family rules, they will not fight, but everyone can see that divisions have begun to occur between these children.
"We will continue to investigate the death of our father." Cynthia reached out and took Mayuri Shiroda, turned to Felicia and asked, "Felicia, do you also accept Lenwood's statement?"
"I'm sorry, Cynthia, Huo Yinglong, I know it's hard for you to accept, but my father's death is indeed what Lanewood said." Felicia said.
"Okay, okay." Cynthia sneered, "I understand."
The fundamental disagreement between the two sides was not over how Rennix died, and they knew that. There is no doubt that what Lanewood, Dimitri, Felicia and Yin Tengjun want to do now is to find the legacy of Rennix, so they must quickly reveal his death, and Huo Ying Long and Cynthia were more worried about what backup plan Rennix had prepared, and wanted to solve this problem first, so they refused to give up.
Unfortunately it seems that these two things cannot be achieved at the same time.
It can be said that both parties parted on bad terms, and many of the remaining people even didn't know who to follow. Han Xizhe and a few others left secretly, seeming to have their own ideas about the Howard family's legacy, while Lu Ning simply returned to the reading room where she slept last night. She could not interfere with this change in the atmosphere.
For her, it was a better change that only Rennix died the next day.
She started rummaging through the bookshelves in the reading room, and after spending a little time, she found several works by Tsuburaya Temple Sora.
"What are you looking for?" Someone suddenly said from behind.
"Book." Lu Ning didn't look back. She heard the movement when the man entered the room, but there was no need to see who it was.
Cynthia sighed, threw the gun in her hand on the mattress that had not been put away, and sat down on the chair.
"Very troubled?"
"They don't even know what kind of person their father is!" Cynthia said angrily, "Or they know clearly, but they are dazzled by what they see in front of them!"
"Mr. Rennix does hide a lot of secrets, but for us, we can't interfere in your family's affairs. He invited me here just to be a witness. Even if he dies, the contract is still valid." Lu Ning He took a book out of his hand and said, "You want to win my support?"
"It's better to say that I want to make a deal with you." Cynthia said, "I know that you must have your own purpose in coming to this island. Since my father said that, I don't believe that there is anything on this island at all." Anyone with any purpose. But I think we can cooperate, just like me and Huo Yinglong."
"I thought you two had the same opinion, but judging from the tone, it doesn't seem certain?"
“Our big goals are the same, so we can cooperate, but that doesn’t mean we like each other very much,” Cynthia said.
"Well, why don't you let me hear the contents of your deal?"
Lu Ning took out the few books he found and placed them beside him, then walked over and sat on another chair.
"Then I need to know a little more about you. For example, what Rennix said to you during the family dinner. What magic did you learn. And... what are your ultimate goals?"
"You're quite greedy."
"Or it's okay if you don't tell them about yours, your brothers and sisters, any one of them is fine." Lu Ning said, "I'm just getting information, anything is fine. Anyway, I can't tell you my target."
"That's really unfair." Cynthia shook her head, "Huo Yinglong and I planned to find out the cause of my father's death because we wanted to maintain our autonomy. When we came to Enwood, they obviously wanted to grasp Howard quickly. Family. What about you? Doctor, there is no neutrality here, because the relationship between the seven of us is enough to involve everyone. You are either our ally or our enemy."
"Oh... As expected of Ms. Cynthia." Lu Ning laughed, "Okay, okay, since you said so, let me tell you that I came here for the Howard family's occult knowledge."
Cynthia frowned slightly.
"It seems that you still think this is a secret?" Lu Ning chuckled, "Although there seems to be no problem with Howard's family history, as long as someone who knows some mysticism studies it, it will not be a secret. It is definitely We don’t know enough about the strength of the Howard family. What about you? Do you care about this? "

"Humph...Okay. Then I can also tell you some things you want to know. For example, don't you want to know what my father said to us before? I can tell you what he said to me - he told me How should I complement my career?”
"Profession?"
"Doctor, you don't really understand occultism, do you? Just hearsay? Then I have to tell you some common sense." Cynthia raised her eyebrows, "First of all, exclude the special case of superpowers, magic, spiritual power, Things like elements are not essentially useful things as described. They need to be driven by deploying a ritual field, and this ritual field can be simplified to a magic book, a catalyst and a You can cast a spell with just a few materials. But you still need to prepare the magic to be released in advance.”
"In other words, you can't choose which spells to use?" Lu Ning asked.
"Yes, under normal circumstances, we are still ordinary people. However, limited to the corresponding special power concentration in materials, magic books, and air, the magic power that can be used is not strong, and it does not have very strong power... For example, the only spell I master ." Cynthia raised her hand and picked up a piece of spiritual light in her palm, "This is a magic called a beacon. I can always see the location of the beacon unless the person who marked the beacon is changed."
"Then your beacon probably fell on Dolores?" Lu Ning asked.
"It was before going to the island." Cynthia leaned back and leaned on the chair, "But it changed after that."
After arriving on the island, Dolores has been with Cynthia, so naturally there is no need for a beacon.
"You don't need to ask me who I gave the beacon to, let alone whether I know the details of Dolores. I won't tell you any of this... I'm just proving to you the existence of magic."
"So, what does completion mean?"
"Because we cannot store the corresponding energy and can only use the thin power in the air to cast spells. We learn magic but do not have a mana pool. And my father told me that the way to obtain the mana pool is on this island." Cynthia said.
