The gun disintegrated in Longxi's hand, covering his palm, and quickly transformed into a mechanical glove. Longxi used this hand to draw a crosshair emitting red light in the air, and then pointed his finger at the center of the crosshair.
Iris closed her eyes and clasped her hands in front of her chest. A silvery-white translucent shadow that was exactly the same as Iris floated out from behind her. She opened a pair of clean white wings and flapped them. In the middle, a golden ball of light began to expand above Shadow's head.
"Heroic strike!"
"Spiritual cannon."
The red bullets that tore apart the space and the vast golden beams of light hit the Hell Flower Ant floating in the air from a long distance. The familiar curled its body slightly, but it seemed that mobility was not a strong point for this familiar. , it can only dodge as much as possible, but the attacks of the two people were not intended to kill it. They knew very well that it would be too difficult for their magic to really hurt the familiar at this distance.
That reluctant dodge also continued to compress the little moving space of the Hell Flower Ant. At the same time, Lista had already come closer with the help of the vertical leap ability provided by the magic props. She once again used a muddy voice to call out the name of the origin of magic.
[Cut], [Harvest], [Fight].
The blade that was thrown out in advance turned into a steel-gray long blade, and in a flash, nearly half of the familiar's root was cut off. Suffering such an attack suddenly, the familiar finally noticed Lista, a silent person. It gently twisted its flower, so that the seemingly dead flower was facing Lista. Then, a black-gray mist that was several times denser than the fog that enveloped the main hall before quickly shot out from the stamens!
The mist like a torrent instantly drowned Lista, but Lu Ning could see clearly. The moment Lista saw the fog, she threw an anchor-shaped ornament to the ground. Then the scenery in front of her changed, and she Escaped from the position engulfed by the gray warning impact.
Lu Ning could feel that this Deep Hell Flower Ant was inferior in strength compared to the Crimson Pure Land. Although its attack range was huge and its attack methods were various, it did not seem to pose a threat to current magicians.
After Lista fell to the ground, she immediately pierced a handle-shaped cylinder into the soil under her feet, and then pulled it out with force. The ground quickly cracked, and she created a giant sword made of soil.
"When I kiss the soil under my feet, I kiss the stars that gave birth to us. We turn the flesh and blood of the stars into weapons, and we wield the starlight."
Lista half-knelt on the ground and began to chant in a low voice. Although Chaos Ether can borrow the ability of any kind of Ether, it requires a more complicated borrowing process or the method of calling the name of the source. Relatively speaking, the former will be safer.
After the prayer ended, the sword, which was originally made of soil, suddenly began to glow with light. Lista raised the sword back with force, aimed at the remaining roots of the Hell Flower Ant, and threw it out with all her strength.
The light circled and drew a beautiful trajectory under the gloomy sky, cutting off a large number of other root systems in one breath. As a result, its remaining root systems were only three that were tightly protected in the center of the stem.
"What a difficult opponent." Lista panted heavily, sweat dripping down her forehead. Continuous use of highly lethal magic must consume a lot of energy, and she didn't have the energy supply of the entire Eight Eyes Island. Now it's like running a half marathon, the whole body is sending fatigue signals.
But at this moment, a beam of light fell on her.
Iris's support is very timely. Unlike magicians like Lista, the servants use the magic power of the Eight Eyes Island temporarily opened by the family, and Iris's magic can also be used to dispatch this magic power, for Liz. Towers provide a small amount of mana replenishment.
A moment of recovery allowed Lista to regain the ability to cast the next spell before the strong magic in the air was suppressed. She glanced at the location of the three protected roots, and then her fingers landed slightly below her stomach.
"Chaos Aether."
Without the need for indiscriminate killing, the price she paid would be much smaller.
A wisp of dark light streaked across her abdomen, and Lu Ning only felt a slight pain like being scratched by a blade, while the last three roots of the hell flower ants in the sky fell down in response.
At the same time, a bunch of dry branches appeared on Lista's wrist, tightly wrapping her wrist like a bracelet, while the hell flower ants in the sky slowly disappeared.
"Miss Lista!"
Rosemary and Bay Leaf hurried over, and there were also bracelets like dead branches on their wrists.
"The support is good." Lista nodded to the two of them.
"This... suddenly appeared on our wrists just now." Rosemary raised her hand, "Miss, do you know what this is?"
"It's the attention of 'judgment'."
Lista raised her wrist and looked at the "bracelet" on her hand: "It is essentially a marking spell. For the origin of magic, they don't care whether the mark is discovered, but are more willing to make people realize that they are about to Liquidated by an Origin.”
"Then...this..."
"Everyone involved in attacking the Hell Flower Ant will be marked. We will be affected by nightmares at night. If we can't survive it, we may wake up one morning and become the Hell Prisoner - another kind of familiar. ”
"This is not good news, Miss." Bayleaf said, "Is there any solution?"
"Simple, use the ether of the fallen or prison attribute, and clean it in a place where the ether of judgment is sparse to remove it. It's just that this island is not a very suitable place." Lista looked at the two people, "These few God will give you a hard time."
"The responsibility lies." Rosemary pulled her sleeves to cover the dead branch bracelet, "But this time the familiar attacked, because you were a little careless, Miss."
Lista was stunned for a moment. Servants rarely spoke to the Howard family in a tone of accusation or admonishment, but Lista knew the origins of the servants, and they were also people with their own emotions.
"……Feel sorry."
"You don't need to apologize, because you didn't do it with bad intentions. However, taking the risk will bring us danger. We are just fine, and the guests do not have such tenacious willpower." Rosemary said.
"I'll remember that."
At this time, Ambergris and Iris also drove over. Of course, their wrists were also marked.
When they returned to the main building, everyone was still gathering nervously in the hall.
"Lista? Thank God, nothing happened to you..." Milia also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter.
"We suffered a loss. The person who killed my father and the others... took advantage of the 'family rules' of this island." Lista directly revealed her discovery this time, "Howard's family rules used the Judgment Ether. , and someone combined the family rules with last night’s murder plan. Although we don’t know how, at least if we probe like we did just now, we will definitely be misled.”
"I see..." Escher looked outside, "That's why my magic was acting so strange just now."
"In other words, the person who committed the murder should have made corresponding preparations in magical investigation methods. If we want to find the murderer, we must use normal methods. And this person believes that we can solve the incoming user. The devil must be among us, otherwise it would be impossible to design this trap so perfectly."
"Then what should we do?" Kagabo said anxiously, "We can't find him. That guy killed most of your Howard family. Who will he kill next? Is he going to kill all of you? Or is he going to kill us? Start?"
"Hmph, why are you in such a hurry?" Arisa Saotome snorted coldly, "If someone is really deliberately targeting the Howard family, do you think it is so easy to find out? Now you should try your best to think of how to save your own life!"
"Before this, I would like to remind everyone, especially the guests." Lista said, "Grandpa invited everyone for a reason. You are more familiar with the origin of these magics and are more susceptible to influence... No matter what happens, Please don’t be too curious about any questions you can’t understand, otherwise, you may also attract familiars.”
"Then, Mr. Rennix asked me to paint..." Schritt turned pale.
"You can stop for a moment, at least now is not a good time to draw."

The servants were cleaning the hall, while some others went back to their rooms, while others stayed in the hall, and no one dared to leave casually. Many of them took an overview of the battle just now by the window. The strange figure and ability of the familiar were enough to frighten ordinary people. They were not stupid, and they could see that it was not easy for Lista to kill the familiar.
Lista found an empty room to rest.
The use of Chaos Ether didn't cause much damage to her this time, it just consumed a little more. The problem was that the mark on her hand basically cut off the possibility of a good rest, which was quite a headache.
At this time, Lu Ning took over the body.
She could feel Lista's fatigue, and there was nothing she could do to help at this time. It was better to take over the body so that she could have a good rest.
Lu Ning can detect some subtle differences, which are the fundamental differences between herself and the character she plays, and it is something she seems to know innately - these influences from the origin are of no use to her .
When she closed her eyes, the "bracelet" on her hand did not react at all. Before falling asleep, Lu Ning recalled a doubt she had just had.
There have been three rounds of the game so far. In addition to people, some events have also changed with the changes in personnel. However, some things seem to be certain to happen. For example, it will definitely rain the day before the family banquet, no matter morning or evening; for example, Dimitri will give Lu Ning a receiving device, no matter what happens at the family banquet. These inconspicuous commonalities should be the manifestation of some internal logic in this scene.
And now, she has discovered something that seems to be bound to happen, even though it sounds a bit ridiculous - that is, a vehicle explosion will definitely occur.
Compared to the various superpower and magic murders on the island, this incident is actually a bit ordinary, but just like raining and giving receivers, what makes such ordinary things like the anchor of fate? The same, must happen again and again?
Lu Ning originally wanted to think about it more, but her body was so tired that she fell asleep without knowing it.
A hint of coldness penetrated her wrist, but there was no more reaction.
At dusk, Lu Ning opened her eyes and knew that she had indeed slept peacefully, and during this period, no one disturbed her.
The first day of this round is so exciting...
She slowly turned over and checked the messy props Lista carried.
The battle in the morning taught her how to use some props. In addition to being the elements required for Lista's "language activation" magic, they can also play the role of normal magic props. There are at least ten types of things she carries on her body now, including erasers, blades and other things she used before. They are basically hidden in the layers of her suit and shirt.
Now, she can analyze who the perpetrator is based on the known situation.
It may be difficult for people in the scene to find the murderer, but Lu Ning feels familiar with this design.
It is obvious that the perpetrator has considered all aspects and is very familiar with the situation of the entire Howard family. He is also familiar with the steps that magic can take in investigation, and has carried out targeted countermeasures. However, at the end of the day, there are no more troublesome problems with conventional—that is, non-magical—methods of solving crimes, except for the inability to perform a touch-based autopsy.
She was already 70% sure that it was Watanabe Fuchiko who made the move this time. This situation of three surrounded and one missing was her favorite layout, and the only way to break the situation was the imperfect one she specially set aside. gap.
But what Lu Ning is even more curious about is how Watanabe Yuenko deployed this series of anti-magic methods against magic? Starting from the ritual of killing the Howard family members, this must be done by someone familiar with magic. However, tourists were clearly told by the distribution center that they could only use the abilities given by the distribution center, and it was absolutely impossible to use magic.
In addition, who does Watanabe Fuchiko play this time? Is it still Gustav? Or Justina? There are not many magicians on this island who can use this kind of magic, and it is certainly impossible for Watanabe Fuchiko to plan any suicide drama. Her character will definitely watch this story unfold until the end.
Lu Ning opened the door and suddenly heard some lively sounds coming from the hall.
