Lu Ning showed the contents of the last hard drive.
After a brief black screen, the screen suddenly lit up. This time it was in Rennix's own room that everyone was familiar with. The Rennix in the camera is also the one everyone is most familiar with. He was in a similar state on the day of the family dinner.
"Whoever found this video, hello, I'm Rennix."
In the video, Rennix showed a polite smile that is most familiar to outsiders.
"Is it my child? My friend? Or my guest? It doesn't matter who it is. According to ordinary people's thinking, they will look at these images from front to back, or from back to front... It depends on where you are now. What stage."
Rennix stood up from his chair and picked up a notebook from the table.
"If you start from the beginning to the end, then by now, you should basically understand my experience, my dreams, struggles, sinkings and awakenings. Up to now, I have made all preparations and carefully prepared for this event. The great magic that has been practiced for more than 20 years has finally come to its true moment. And if you start from this image, then go back and trace my desires in different periods of my life from my past experiences. , to peek into my true inner thoughts.”
He opened the notebook to the very back, then picked up a pen and began writing on it.
"This is the last video, number eight, malicious. You must fight against these... sins I left behind. Each of you must have the mistakes I made. Correct your own mistakes, It is possible to escape my malice. It is only at this time in my life that I, Lenix Howard, believe in humanity and that human efforts can break the shackles of gods. Unfortunately, I have no time left."
Rennix seemed to have finished writing. He let go of his hand and the notebook fell directly to the ground, and then began to burn. The dark purple flames quickly engulfed the notebook entirely, leaving no ashes behind. Instead, some glowing runes began to rise from the flames and float toward the window.
Lu Ning had a premonition of his next move and immediately switched control to Lista.
Renix began to use a thick voice, pronouncing syllables whose meaning only a magician could perceive.
[Murder], [Bloodline], [Frenzy], [Disqualification].
Lista understood these four syllables, but she also felt something was wrong. Because the magic syllables all come from the origin of magic, there may be several depending on the fields involved in the origin, but there are only about a hundred in total. None of these four belong to any known magic origin.
"Renix... when did you record this?" Gustav also heard something was wrong.
"We'll probably find out soon," Milia said.
After Rennix finished speaking these few syllables, he reached for the video recorder and looked out the window.
"It's September 20th now. Soon... everyone will be here. The relatives——"
The sound was cut off, and some runes began to climb up the screen, making all sounds recorded from the outside distorted and difficult to understand. The runes came together crookedly on the camera, turning into a symbol that Lista could discern.
【contract】.
The contract itself does not correspond to any ether, but it has a strong binding force. Once it is touched, something unexpected will happen. It is usually difficult for humans to sign any contract with the origin of magic. The origin of magic itself does not like contracts very much. After all, it really needs to induce magic. There are many ways to teach.
"How many contracts has Rennix signed?" Justina asked.
"It's better to think of it as all," said Gustav.
"Then he might really be crazy."
"So what exactly is Mr. Rennix going to do? Have you figured it out?" Jack looked around and found that many people's faces were still a little confused. After all, only magicians can understand the vocabulary of magic.
"It's better for me to explain." Lista said, turning off the video.
To be honest, even she didn't dare to say that she fully understood Rennix's thoughts. She could only infer from the situation shown in the video. Rennix did something she never dared to think about. In terms of ambition, she was still not as good as her grandfather.
"It's hard to tell which one is the core of my grandfather's goals. I can only explain it clearly from the perspective of magic. First, he hopes to change the state of existence of the origin of magic so that it will no longer be superior to magicians. on. Second, he wanted to resurrect his grandmother, or at least preserve her in some communicative state, and she was obviously his kindred spirit on this path. Third, he designed everything on the island, For someone to correct the mistakes he made on the way to realizing his dream. Fourth, he intends to become the next origin of magic and then turn the island into his own magical secret."
"That's all?" Lian Qingyi asked.
"There are countless secondary goals derived from these main goals. Mr. Lian, we can't figure out all of my grandfather's thoughts one by one. We can only capture the most important ones he showed in the video. At the same time, for my grandmother The investigation of the relics is also urgent. Their importance should not be much different from this video, and some are even related to the records in the video." Lista said quickly, "The preparation time for magic is so long, then it may not be able to be used after it is activated. It will take a long time to complete the entire casting process, we need to ensure our own safety and find a way to crack it quickly."
"Cracked?" Arisa Saotome suddenly asked.
"That's right, crack, no matter how beautiful this idea is, the benefits belong to grandfather. Not only will we not get any benefits, but we are more likely to become victims of this ritual..."
Having said this, Lista suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"Arisa Saotome, what do you mean by shackles?"
The lights suddenly went out.
"Young magician, what did you just say? Ignore the details?"
Two red lights lit up in the darkness, those were Arisa Saotome's eyes.
"How do you know those details you ignored are not important? Miss Lista, what do you think are shackles?"
Lista had already raised her hand and pressed down.
The moment the chaotic ether was triggered, a sonic boom sounded in the air, and a strong wind immediately raged in the hall, while the two red lights quickly moved to the side, as fast as if they were flying.
boom!
In the chaos, someone fired, and judging from the location, it should be Gustav. However, the bullet missed and made a crisp sound in the air.
"Don't shoot randomly! Hey!" Jack yelled in the darkness.
"Restraint."
A purple glowing note appeared out of thin air and caught Arisa Saotome in the air. Escher bowed slightly: "Madam, I'm sorry."
Then, Arisa Saotome was grabbed by the paper chain and slammed to the ground.
The big feathers flew up, blocking the light of the note. Escher immediately backed away, and another servant got in front of him.
"Glory Shield!"
Pure white light instantly enveloped those feathers. The magic of lavender is a magic shield, and it also shows obvious suppression ability against these sudden feathers.
But Arisa Saotome is a magician?
Not quite right, how could she be a magician? Even if it is Rennix's arrangement, after spending so many days with everyone, even if the magicians cannot expose each other, they can still sense each other's fluctuations in magic power.
Lista raised her finger again. This time, she had made up her mind to kill.
No matter what Arisa Saotome knew, the current situation was extremely dangerous. Judging from her reaction just now, she obviously also has plans for Rennix's legacy, so her target is likely to be Milia - although killing each other among clan members is prohibited by family rules, as long as she If you kill Milia, you can immediately obtain the position of temporary clan leader, and then reduce the punishment to the minimum standard.
"Mother!" she shouted.
"The temporary head of the Howard family, under the authority of the family, will judge Arisa Saotome. His behavior has threatened the safety of the clan. Please judge according to the family rules!" Milia also shouted sharply.
Another force immediately appeared in the hall. Lista did not interrupt her movements, but narrowed her eyes slightly. A hole appeared in the magic shield made by lavender, and some force penetrated the blockade and caught Arisa Saotome among the scattered feathers.
"ha!"
Unexpectedly, Arisa Saotome stretched out her hand and shook it upward.
"Do you know? Husband Yin Tengjun and I don't have any love."
She said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"He needs me, and I need him, that's all. I want the Howard family's property and everything in the Howard family. This is what Mr. Rennix allows me! This is also the agreement between us! Since If the previous head of the family admits it first, what can the family's rules do to me?"
With a slightly crazy smile, she said: "The blood of the Howard family cannot be obtained only by Mr. Rennix's birth! He is such a great man, how can you touch his mind? How dare you , cut off his dream? Cut off my dream?"
"You actually are?"
"What am I? I am the shackles of his decision. I come for the benefits, and Renix gives me the benefits I want. Didn't you see it? Don't you understand? Since he can understand and deal with those weird magics, How could you ignore the transactions between yourself and people like me when you are doing transactions at the origin?”
Arisa Saotome grabbed it hard, and the sudden power was instantly shattered.
At this time, Lu Ning remembered what Rennix said to her when Lian Qingyi played Arisa Saotome in the second round. She could only get what she wanted by becoming the head of the family.
This statement sounds like nonsense, but there is indeed some hidden meaning in it, but it is a pity that Lian Qingyi cannot understand it.
Lista was not idle either. The moment Arisa Saotome broke away from the family rules, she immediately put her finger on her forehead. She didn't know what changes had taken place in Arisa Saotome now, so she could only attack the parts that were most likely to be fatal. And the moment the Chaos Ether was triggered, Arisa Saotome's head suddenly tilted back——
"Ho-ho..."
She let out a strange scream, but this attack didn't directly explode her head!
"Milia, did you see it? Your daughter attacked me. She is a relative...Are you going to exempt her? In this case..."
The pressure is on.
Milia spoke, preparing to exempt Lista from the punishment scope of the family rules.
Escher and the servants all targeted Arisa Saotome and prepared to attack.
A puppet appeared in Gustav's hand.
And all this - suspended at this moment.
For a moment when time stopped, Lu Ning thought she had been attacked by another familiar. However, she immediately realized that this was not the case because she had already seen the other tourists at the same time.
Perspective... Now she has Lista's perspective, and she also has her own perspective in that conference room. Every tourist began to take action. Most of them did not show any surprise, but they all had some unexpected reactions to the development of the situation.
"Lu Ning, what's going on?" Even Watanabe Yuanzi asked.
"Did any of you trigger something?" Lu Ning glanced at everyone, and everyone shook their heads. Orlando even said: "We are all in the hall, right? Why did it stop suddenly? Could it be that the story is halfway through and we can stop talking about it?"
"No..." Jiuzhu Heizhen and Han Xizhe looked at each other and said, "Maybe our place is not safe anymore."
"Why? Because Arisa Saotome became like that? There must be some triggering opportunity." Yu Guiting was very calm, "It is not appropriate to clarify their respective identities now, but in response to the current crisis, we should also We need to work together, and whoever knows the key information should tell it quickly."
"I don't have any information." Tsuburaya Temple said, "Everyone is in the hall, and the things they encounter are the same. At most, the magician is attacking, and others are avoiding. No one knows how the situation will develop, let alone Don’t talk about triggering something that can affect this place.”
"... Then everyone had better prepare." Lu Ning quickly stood up, and a shadow of a card appeared in his palm, "Very good, the ability can indeed be used here, which means there is still a need to use the ability here. .”
"Tsk!" Mayuri Daida jumped up immediately. She trusted Lu Ning's judgment more than anyone else. At this moment, she had directly dragged Kanzaki Takaya into the small room next to her. The rest of the people were half a beat slower.
An unknown voice came from the window.
"The last failure was here."
Lu Ning shrank and immediately pulled Watanabe Fuchiko away from the window. The next second, a cut mark appeared on the window. The cut mark spread into a network, and the window shattered instantly. The air mixed with rain and earth smell from outside immediately poured into the room, and this closed house, this time It was a moment to finally truly connect with the scene.
