In the early morning of October 1st, Dimitri woke up from his sleep, unable to sleep peacefully.鏱
Last night, Lu Ning found him and told him almost exactly what he had said to her at the family banquet. If Dimitri might have been joking in his heart on the day of the family dinner, then what Lu Ning said to him yesterday made him sleepless.
People are dying every day on this island, and the number of living people is no longer as large as the dead. And Lu Ning was vague about her expectation that she was going to die that night. Did she have feelings? Or is there any evidence? And you already have this premonition, why don't you try to ask for help?
Dimitri went to wash his face while thinking wildly, then took out a piece of clothing from the open suitcase, put it on, and opened the door.
"oh."
Head of the house, when he really sat in this position, Dimitri felt like he was being put on the grill, spending every day in fear and anxiety. Because he became very sensitive to the flow of information on the island, he had to seal off a large amount of magic perception to prevent the malice that spread across the island from infiltrating his body and assimilating him into a murderous devil.
This position is simply a curse... With his magical knowledge, he can't even scratch the surface of his father's magical knowledge. If he wants to understand this, he may really have to spend his whole life studying it. Dimitri took a deep breath, then slightly let go of the perception of the family head's authority, and immediately smelled the familiar smell of blood.
When he woke up yesterday, he smelled the same thing.鏱
"Seven-thirty... huh."
The headache-inducing stimulation also expanded Dimitri's magic power. He could now use the magic power stored in the entire Eight Eyes Island. He had never imagined such a huge amount of magic power. He even had to carefully save those before. The magic used can now be released at will, without having to consider the issue of consumption. The magic power recovery speed of the Eight Eyes Island is enough to make up for these shortcomings.
The strains of "The Bard" spread as he turned on a tape recorder at his waist, the soothing melody soothing his headache.
Dimitri was used to dead bodies.
As expected, Han Xizhe died in his room. A large amount of blood flowed from his mouth, almost covering half of the bed. Dimitri couldn't imagine what kind of magic or ability caused such a death, he just took it for granted.
"Mr. Lawyer, may you rest in peace." Dimitri touched his beard and locked the door again without damaging the scene.
The second victim was Kajabo. The irascible wizard was hanged from the beams in his room. His upper body clothes were stripped off, his stomach was cut open, and a dozen of his own medicine bottles were stuffed inside. Re-sew. Of course, such a death could not touch Dimitri. After he confirmed the death, he locked the door as usual.鏱
Then, he knocked on Huo Yinglong's door, but there was no dead person behind the door. Huo Yinglong and Zhai Jingqiu were both still alive, and the two did not sleep at all that night, but just turned on the light and sat in the room. Waiting - naturally, no one really rushed in to kill.
"Dimitri? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. If you're still alive, come out and see those people who have died again. Count how many are still alive."
"Is someone dead again? Humph, it's been like this, it's inevitable that he won't continue to die..." Huo Yinglong patted his face, making himself feel a little happier, "Let's go and take a look together."
"Lawyer Han and Ka Jiabo are both dead. The murderer targeted people who are not magicians. The target is very clear. Now that Zhai Jingqiu is still alive, we should go check on Doctor Lu."
Dimitri turned around, not caring whether the two people behind him followed him. He only felt that his headache began to come back, and even around the music, a kind of mixed pollution began to appear like flocculent. Life and death seemed to appear clearly in Dimitri's mind at this moment. He pressed his temples, walked to Lu Ning's door, and opened the door with the key without asking any questions.
After all, he could feel that there was no life in it.鏱
"What's going on? Dimitri!" Cynthia rushed down from the stairs at this time, like an angry lion, she roared and shouted, "Why does my beacon no longer exist? You stand What do you mean at the door?”
"Oh, you also think the doctor is an important person?" Dimitri sneered, "Then you should know that she never left the room that night when she left alone, so you didn't say anything when discussing her?"
"She didn't go out, so if she could kill someone, she was a magician or a person with abilities, or she didn't kill anyone, but today she... died?" Cynthia sneered, "The magician couldn't kill her, then Who else could kill her?"
"Just take a look and you'll find out." Dimitri opened the door.
Lu Ning's room was extremely messy. At first glance, it seemed that the floor was covered with all kinds of clothes and books, spread out on the ground. The pages of the books were all torn apart. The empty areas of Yuangu Temple were filled with pictures. Symbols of unknown meaning. Lu Ning fell on her back among these broken items, with a smile on her face and her eyes slightly closed. A sharp awl pierced her heart. It was the rune dagger belonging to Rennix.
Dimitri suddenly lowered his head and cursed.
"It's this damn dagger again!" Cynthia smashed the door frame angrily, "Let's go find Arisa Saotome! What does she keep? People die because of this every day! Can she throw one on time every day?"鏱
"...Let's go." Dimitri lowered his head and glanced at the smile on Lu Ning's face again, feeling more and more that it was mocking him - "Look, what you said about dying doesn't mean it, but when I said it, it really means it." died".
After the two people went out, they saw Huo Yinglong and Zhai Jingqiu standing guard outside.
"I just went to see Milia's room. She is still alive." Huo Yinglong said, "Are we going to find Arisa Saotome now? Let's go together."
The four of them walked outside the door. Arisa Saotome was different from them. She had already returned to Arashime Hall and needed to drive there if she wanted to go.
"Is everyone else alive?" Dimitri asked.
"Mr. Gustav has already gotten up. He said that he will handle the matters here and let us take care of our own housework first." Huo Yinglong smiled bitterly, "Dimitri, when did the Howard family become like this?" Are you in a state where you can't protect yourself? Look, our guests are almost dead."
"In any case, Arisa Saotome is the first suspect."

Gustave was sitting in his room with a cup of tea. Soon, the door was opened and Justina walked in.
"Justina, you are finally here. The children have left." Gustave said with a smile.
"Yeah...it's hard to imagine that Howard's family has ended up like this."
"Here, any madness can happen. My magic has begun to be seriously distorted, and the melody of destruction has sounded in my ears. Have you seen Milia? Poor child, she was kept in the dark. She doesn't know anything, she just has the ability to become invisible, but she doesn't know anything about the magic here, so she gets involved in such a disaster... She has gone crazy, I can't see the slightest aura in those eyes."
"Justina, the children have gone to catch the murderer, so do we have to help these poor children? This museum is full of ghosts now."
Justina nodded and pointed downward: "Lian Qingyi?"
There are only five people left here.
"He should pay some price for the crime he committed. Although this crime is insignificant compared to this island." Gustave said, putting the teacup back on the table, "Justina, in terms of guilt, There may be a little more between the two of us.”
"Isn't that not a trial, but at most a black man taking advantage of others?" Justina chuckled, and a familiar flew back from the window and landed on her shoulder.
"No, what we want to ask about is his sins among ordinary people, and our own sins naturally have a place where we should return."
Gustav and Justina left the room. Lian Qingyi's room was also on the fourth floor, where Rennix arranged for his old friend to live. The two knocked on the door, and after about three minutes, Lian Qingyi opened the door.
"You..." Lian Qingyi glanced at the two people outside with some fear, "What are you here for?"
"Lian Qingyi, we have talked about it, and now it is time to end the deal." Gustav touched the pistol on his waist.鏱
"You're here to kill me!"
Lian Qingyi yelled and swung the door open, but Gustav immediately pushed it up with his kick. Amidst the loud bang, Lian Qingyi staggered back a few steps and sat on the ground.
"Embalming ritual." Gustav walked into the room, pulled out a pistol and put it on Lian Qingyi's head. "This ritual does not have the effect of killing people. It just provides a protective effect for the corpse. Do you really You care about the kids you picked out.”
"you you……"
"Killing, if you dare, we all dare, Lian Qingyi. In order to usurp Rennix's inheritance, you must be willing to kill. But you are probably scared out of your mind when you see your little thoughts being overturned overnight. , it wasn’t until Rennix died that you became interested again, right?”
"Do you think I killed someone?"
"Don't shirk it. After all, we are also murderers, each other." Gustave smiled, and Justina opened the curtains of the room, letting the sunlight shine into the room.鏱
The room was filled with various mechanisms, but when the two of them stepped inside, none of them were triggered.
"As expected of the master of mechanisms, Mr. Lian." Justina picked up a mechanism box. The moment she picked it up, the metal parts on the box immediately began to produce red rust spots, and the parts inside were damaged in less than five seconds. Completely damaged.
"Gustave! Justina! Do you want to kill me? Do you want me to take the blame for you? Don't even think about it!"
"Don't say that, Mr. Lian, you broke the contract first. Didn't you use the room on the fourth floor? You didn't arrange the embalming ceremony in your own room, but borrowed one. I'm afraid it was after the night when the servant died. Are you going to flatter Rennix again? Based on your personality, it is normal for you to gravitate towards the stronger side."
"The servant was killed by Renix! He knew our little thoughts completely! So on this island, we are not allowed to rely on him?" Lian Qingyi said filial piety.
"Hahaha, Rennix killed the servants...Lian Qingyi, did Rennix ever tell you once personally that he killed those servants?" Gustave shook his head regretfully, "You We all know that he is a person who can easily change his position. You were recruited by Rennix at first because you had some skills that Rennix needed. But now, do you really think Rennix still needs you? "
"You don't need me anymore!" Lian Qingyi slowly moved his body, hoping to move himself further away from the gun. "At least Rennix won't kill me for this, but you will."
"Ha...Lian Qingyi, you are a smart man." Gustave saw how frightened he was and slowly put away his gun, "You haven't learned enough magic. Your abilities lie in your dealings with others and your strange and obscene skills. , you are the one who contacts the servants, aren’t you?”
"You want to know about the servant?"
"Of course, I want to know, what do these people you have deliberately found want to accomplish? You know that you are too far away from Rennix, and you know that as long as you can pick up some of the things he accidentally missed for you, you The glory and wealth you have can be endless. Why do you want more?"
"Don't you want to? Aren't you also pursuing more?" Lian Qingyi said fiercely, "Am I wrong? I have done so many things for Rennix. Of course I know that he wants to achieve his own goals. How many shady deeds have been done! Why can't I take part of it by cheating? Everyone can get the ill-gotten wealth."
"I remember, there is an old saying in your world. There is a way among thieves?" Gustav sneered, "Although Rennix has done a lot of dirty work, he has never been sorry to you. This old guy will never be sorry to his friends. And subordinates, I think you know better than we do.”
"He won't be sorry? Hahaha, Gustave, are you kidding me. Look around, look at us, we are all going to die. Is this what you mean by saying he won't be sorry to us?"
Justina looked at Lian Qingyi with pity.鏱
"You had a chance."
Lian Qingyi was stunned for a moment: "Opportunity?"
"Do you know why I said those words? Because what you saw is really far from us. Rennix has not sorry for us, and he has already said it - he just didn't say it explicitly."
Lian Qingyi was stunned for a moment.
"He is just a little arbitrary, but besides him, the only people on this island who can get the greatest benefit are the three of us. We are the only three people who can meet the relationship of 'friends and subordinates'."
"Ha, do you think it's good for him not to take care of his own children?"
"Do you think he will take care of his children?" Gustave looked at Lian Qingyi disappointedly, "My old friend, Master Lian, you really haven't understood us at all, and you have even given You don't know how to seize such an opportunity." Wei
"Gustav!"
"This is a warning."
Justina put her fingers on Lian Qingyi's head.
Lian Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately his eyes turned white, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat. He fell to the ground in pain, and water and foam began to spurt out of his mouth. He began to twitch on the ground, but a few minutes later , Lian Qingyi drowned in this room without water.
