Curses are not so easy to take effect on magicians, and Gustav's little spell is just a test for people who are hiding. He had already noticed resistance while casting the curse.
"It's a magician." Gustave glanced at the plasticine in his hand that had turned into black coal. "We are very well prepared for anti-magic. It's best not to go inside, as that person's position may have already become there."
The longer a magician lives in a certain place, the more careful he will naturally become. Just like Yamoku Island can already be called Renix's position, it is very likely that a large number of offensive and defensive methods have been prepared here. In the position, the magician can do many more things than encounters.
Lista also knew it, but she didn’t believe it.
As the granddaughter of Rennix, she also inherited part of Rennix's ruthless traits. Hearing what Rennix said, he looked directly at Escher: "Uncle Escher, give me a cardboard box."
Escher took out a piece of paper, shook it gently, and rolled the paper into a square box, then handed it to Lista.
Lista held the cardboard box in her palm, muttered a vague incantation in a low voice, and then clenched the cardboard box in her hand into a ball. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise in the room, and a gust of wind blew out from the door. The anti-magic preparations there were obviously very strong, and they were not directly crushed by this one, but the room also suffered serious damage.
"wrong!"
Spellcaster Lista had the clearest feeling that her indiscriminate attack just now did not hurt anyone at all!
"Walls," said Gustav.
Escher took out a piece of paper again and quickly opened a row of windows on the wall. Although the effect was not particularly good in the case of anti-magic, the situation inside could be vaguely seen.
Indeed no one.
Lista rushed directly into the room. The attack just now caused damage to many furnishings in the room. Cabinets, tables, chairs, and beds were all slightly distorted. Such slight distortion showed that the defense here was effective.
"No, that shadow just came in." Lista looked around. Although there were signs of people living here, there was no one there.
"Very clever," said Gustave as he entered the room.
In terms of experience, he is more experienced than Lista, and he can almost see the structure of the magic formation in this room at a glance. It is not difficult to prepare a position in such a time and space composed of magic. However, the structure here is extremely ingenious. It makes full use of the magic energy in the entire time and space, and by dispersing the power of all attacks, it greatly weakens the damage received. As for the attack effect, as long as the person coming does not have the ability to destroy this space-time with one blow, it will be difficult to cause excessive damage to the room.
You can't even tell how much attack magic there is in it.
"If this magician fights us in the room, the outcome is uncertain." Gustav frowned and said, "Why give up such a complete position?"
"No...that's not right, Miss." Escher suddenly screamed, "This is my door!"
Being familiar with magic, Escher soon discovered the traces. The man in the room seemed to open a door from the ceiling and ran away from there.
But this magic is clearly one of Escher's best, and it can't be used by just anyone - because this magic is considered his invention, except for Rennix and several Howard family members who gave him guidance Unless you know it, no one else can use this magic.
"Can you use your magic to leave? But..."
But almost all the Howard family members were dead, and there was no other magician except her.
Miria is a superpower, and Arisa Saotome is not a magician even though she is married to Juno Ito. Lista knew about Escher's magic. Since she knew that Escher would use the marks of the nine servants to borrow power, she naturally knew that this magic was not easy to imitate.
"There is another person." Gustave said, asking Escher, "When you were studying this magic, was Elena also with you?"
"When Madam was alive, she was always inseparable from the Master at home. What do you mean..."
"I'm afraid Rennix has really mastered that magic." Gustave looked a little unhappy, "We don't know anything about Elena... This is a problem!"
"It's not confirmed yet." Lista looked around, "But we have to inform everyone that whether she is a grandmother or not, having such a person on this island is a risk."
The three people quickly exited the room, checked the cellar briefly, and then returned to the Eagle Eye Pavilion. Lista used several different investigation methods, but unfortunately she couldn't find any clues this time. The black image just disappeared.
Although the magic level of the three people is not bad, they all have a feeling of thorns in their backs. Even if it was Elena, they didn't know if this person was the same person they knew. Throughout the ages, are there many stories of various problems arising from the resurrection of the dead?
The method of leaving this time and space is not complicated. The simplest way is to wait until after a period of time, like Jack and the others, and they will be naturally excluded. Now that the magician has figured out how to get in, all he needs to do to get out is to use the magic power in reverse.
They were a little anxious, but Lu Ning was not anxious at all. She had seen everything she had just experienced, and it was indeed a bit strange, but as someone with more money, she could see it more clearly.
That black figure probably wasn't Elena. Although she had never seen it before, her body shape and movements were not what an elderly person should have. Of course, maybe Renix's resurrection was based on Elena's youth, but she felt that it should be a familiar person, not someone like Elena who was unknown to everyone and lived in the past.
After all, when choosing a character, the distribution center did not give Elena this option. If she is really on the island, she should be one of the optional characters. If the distribution center is playing word games...then only people like Lista will appear in the scene by choice.
"It's interesting..."
Lu Ning suddenly became interested and took over Lista directly. The three of them were in a bit of a mess now, so it would be better to let her re-plan.
"Uncle Escher, give me some of your paper."
After hearing this, Escher quickly pulled out a few cards and gave them to her: "Miss, what are you doing?"
"The information is incomplete." Lu Ning threw the pieces of paper in the corner of the room. "If I ask my mother to give you certain permission to use the magic of Bumoku Island, can you trigger the magic here in the main hall?"
"able."
"Then do it when you get back. If I ask you to seal it, you can seal the Yingmu Pavilion directly from the main pavilion and use your door magic." Lu Ning said, "Gustav, leave a familiar here. "
"I can't use a familiar so far away," Gustav said.
"It's just that the message cannot be received. The familiar can act alone. I know that your familiar has no intelligence and does not need intelligence. Yours is the most concealed."
After the last round, Watanabe Fuchiko had told Lu Ning about the situation of Gustav's familiar, so Lu Ning also knew about it quite well. Gustav's familiar is a "cursed doll", which can be made of almost any material, and can also lurk in various narrow corners. Because it has an entity, it can restrain all magical reactions on the body, except that it has no fighting ability at all. They are all quite perfect. Lista herself has not come up with such a useful familiar.
"Understood." Gustav nodded, dug some mud from the garden, quickly made three familiars and threw them into the house.
Then, the three people left the Eagle Eye Pavilion to join Jack and the two outside. The records the two recorded about the outside world also verified their previous thoughts - when they went to another time and space, there were no other changes in the outside world, but instead The three people in the house disappeared together. Justina quickly guessed what the secrets hidden in this annex were, but the black figure the three of them encountered was still surprising.
"The most important thing now is to inform everyone that there is a stranger on the island. In this case, we don't have to be suspicious of each other."
Being an "outsider" is a great excuse to temporarily bring people together again. It had just arrived on the third day, and Lu Ning still hoped that the people on the island would die slowly. This exploration did not take much time. After returning to the main building, Lu Ning handed over the task of explanation to Gustav and Escher, and returned to Rennix's house.
Many of the things Rennix left on the heritage list are placed directly in the main museum, but most people cannot use them. Lu Ning found the group of cones that were used to kill people in the previous round based on their last location, but they had no chance to appear in this round.
These things are most likely the "rewards" that Rennix collected from those magicians before. They have various ether properties and also contain various magicians' understanding of the use of magic. These things have no The value of question research is higher than the value of use. Lu Ning had gone through this study carefully when she was Rennix. Some things that seemed meaningless to her in the first round could be found now.
She has an impression of all the props placed in this room. Among them, there was a photo album. She did not pay special attention to this photo album at the time because it was together with several other photo albums, which all took photos of Rennix and his seven children. However, now that she took out the photo album, she could easily see that all the contents of this album were taken in the main building.
Lu Ning began to look through the photos. Almost all of the photos were single photos or photos of Rennix and one of his children. There were no family photos. The people in every photo are holding or touching an object, but their movements are very natural. Judging from the ages of the seven children, these photos were taken evenly in different years. I am afraid that except for Rennix himself, no one else knows that there is such a photo album specially used to store these photos.
She flipped through the photo album page by page, comparing some of the things that impressed her and finding them in Rennix's room. But this was still a long way from finding it. She put the photo album aside and started looking for something else.
She already had some ideas about what Rennix wanted to do. Her guesses so far could be said to be correct, but they could also be said to be deceptions. Those were the products of compromise after Rennix's plan encountered an unexpected incident, but they were not the results Rennix wanted to achieve the most.
"First of all, the person who killed last night...well, what was the reason?"
The tourists' tacit understanding was not to do anything for the time being, but the person who distrusted this tacit agreement the least was Lu Ning. She doubted everything, even Watanabe Fuchiko didn't completely trust her, just because Watanabe Fuchiko would not have any accidents.
But what about other tourists?
No one in the scene took action. The reason was that the Howard family, which could cause the biggest problem on the island, all died overnight, most of their purpose disappeared, and those who intended to commit crimes were also contained. And now, have these people found their goals again? Why are those three people the target?
Zhai Jingqiu, Kajiabo and Orlando had nothing in common. They only knew each other on the island. Normally, even if someone wanted to kill someone, it would not be the three of them together.
Either multiple murderers will take action - but the way these murderers commit crimes is different from before. In the first two rounds, different murderers committed crimes separately at the crime scenes. At most, two corpses died together in different ways. , which is also in line with the characteristics of tourists traveling in pairs. But this time, three people died in the same way and at the same place. Lista's records have proved that this was a crime committed by the same method.
"Like a tourist..."
But why did the tourists suddenly kill three of them? This situation is very similar to their first round of indiscriminate killing.
"It's really troublesome to be a murderer and a detective at the same time. Tourists...heh." Lu Ning picked up the photo album beside her and several of Rennix's diaries that she found at the back, and walked out of the room.
"Lista, I've already explained it to them."
Gustave said after seeing Lu Ning come out.
"Thank you for your hard work. I found some things in my grandfather's room. These diaries are from the same period as the grandmother's diaries I found earlier. Ms. Justina, please check."
"Know."
"In addition, this photo album contains all photos taken within the main museum. I would like Mr. Kuzumi Heizhen and Mr. Han Xizhe to help me compare it with the information in your hands to see if the items captured in these photos are My grandfather’s legacy.”
"Oh, okay." Kuzumi Heizhen nodded quickly.
"Uncle Escher, please take three servants to my grandfather's room. I have found all the items in the room that match the album. You can use the laboratory as you like. I hope there will be a copy of those items before tonight. List of magical properties and effects."
"Yes, Miss."
"Finally, everyone, we have to use the rest of the day to dig out all the hidden things in the annex. Mother, you and Arisa Saotome are in charge of the Arashime Hall. I will go to the Lume Hall. Gus is responsible for the Strange Me Hall. Mr. Taft is in charge, and everyone chooses their own team members. Ms. Justina is temporarily in charge of the main hall."
Lu Ning arranged all the major things very quickly.
