Since its birth, it has been destined to stand in a position that many people cannot reach in their lifetime.
Elite education, the vision of the upper class of society, the talent of magic, the most secret knowledge in the world... everything can be chosen at will, and worldly wealth and power are almost worth mentioning.
But the knot in the heart can never be opened easily.
Lista Howard, the genius of the Howard family, a talent even recognized by Rennix. After that incident, it took only three months to rectify all the Howard consortiums around the world and take control of the entire Howard family. The power of the consortium.
But she didn't need this.
What Rennix left behind didn't mean much to a girl who had been carefree since childhood and only needed to move forward according to her own thoughts. What she owns remains almost unchanged, but she is burdened with unprecedented responsibilities and a mystery that will never be solved.
Ten years ago, after September 26th, what exactly happened on Bamoku Island?
Except for those necessary decisions for the consortium, Lista devoted almost all her energy to investigating the past ten years ago. It was difficult for her to understand what kind of accident could wipe out her parents, the mysterious grandfather, and her uncles and aunts who were each quite capable at once. Even if the source of magic comes directly to the island, it must at least leave some traces, right? However, after nearly half a year of searching and salvaging in the waters near the island, nothing was found.
Eight Eyes Island disappeared.
Lista Howard became the most powerful person in the Howard Consortium and also became a lonely person.

In front of the broken window, stood a dark figure, tall and holding a scarlet dagger covered with spikes in his hand. Her eyes were looking at the room, and her face was familiar to everyone - if Lista from another perspective below had been given a few more years to become more mature, she would have looked like this.
This is exactly what Lu Ning and Watanabe Yunko were talking about before.
This scene can be summarized as a reincarnation scene, and the distribution center usually does not set a cyclic state for the scene without any reason. For example, the reincarnation that Lu Ning encountered when he was advancing to the first level was that higher beings were causing trouble, which caused time to keep going back.
Although distribution centers have that ability, they generally do not take the initiative to repeatedly add the same scene to tourists to try out different possibilities. Although the tourists themselves will receive unusual powers in many scenes, they will basically not become the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, that would be quite unfair to other tourists.
Judging from this rule, how did the "Bamejima Incident" that tourists experience repeatedly today come about? The source is not a distribution center or a tourist, then——
"Hello Lista." Lu Ning pulled on her clothes. The wind blowing in from the window made the temperature in the room drop sharply, even a little cold. "How many times has this been your deduction?"
Lista's magic belongs to Chaos Ether, and she can simulate the magic source required for any kind of magic. No matter what kind of magical events, or even superpowers, occur on the island, Chaos Ether can be used to imitate its effects.
Even if it requires a lot of magical knowledge, Lista can easily get everything she wants with the resources provided by the Howard Consortium. Coupled with her talent, she spent ten years to complete a project similar to "Old Days Again". It’s not difficult to create magic.
"Oh?" Lista's eyes swept over everyone, as if she wanted to remember their appearance.
"If you don't want to answer, then let me change the question. I have always been curious about this question - what kind of ending did Bumoku Island reach in reality?" Lu Ning asked again calmly.
"Why should I answer you, doctor?"
"Because you included us in your script. Are we really among the people on the island? Are you not aware of such interference and influence?" Lu Ning said, "You are the Yingmu Pavilion in another The dark shadow of the world, you even entered your own script yourself, but you are looking for an ending that you don’t even know, so you cannot fully control the trend of the plot.”
"You think I made a deal."
"Learned from your grandfather, right? Or are you really that hostile and want to attack us?" Lu Ning asked back, "You have also seen that we are not the origin of magic, let alone what you conceived. The imaginary enemy came out."
"But you do exist on this island, in the remnants of this time." Lista frowned slightly, "You have the same personality as the origin of magic."
"Because of this, we have the ability to deal with the origin of magic." Lu Ning said.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lista suddenly smiled and said, "Really? Then you need to prove this."
She lightly swiped the red dagger in the air, and her figure suddenly disappeared. The strong wind roared outside the window, the rain poured in, and a fishy smell immediately spread in the air.
This Lista is different from the Lista in the scene below. This is a magician who has been tempered for a longer period of time, and her understanding and use of magic is no less than that of Rennix!
"Oh...it's really..." Kuzumi Heizhen stood up.
Han Xizhe took out a soft sword from his waist. His originally cold face was now a little stiff, and he looked toward the window. A gap opened in the sky, and a rugged horn poked out from the gap. The dark brown horn was forked like a deer, and each tip was covered with a large amount of green hair, like a dandelion.
After this horn appeared from the sky, it appeared outside the window in just a few seconds. The strong wind stirred up the down on the tip of the horn and scattered them indoors.
"The Origin of Fear."
Lista's voice suddenly appeared in the room, with an echo: "I studied the things left by my grandfather, and naturally I encountered many taboos. My body is burdened with the gazes and curses of the thirteen magic sources. As long as a trace of aura leaks out of the chaos sphere shell of oneself, they may be attracted to take action."
Shinmiya Asaka's shadow slowly lengthened, forming the appearance of another person on the wall, and a red sword shape appeared in the shadow's hand.
"So, do you have the ability to eliminate the disaster I have suffered?"
The green fluff fell on the ground and quickly formed pools of liquid that exuded a fishy smell. These liquids corroded the surrounding ground and began to gather in the center. Lian Qingyi seized this opportunity and took action instantly, reaching out from the cabinet next to him. As soon as he took out a flamethrower, he took out a flamethrower.
"Everyone, please solve the problem at hand first." Yu Guiting stood up and unbuttoned his cuffs. A drop of purple liquid slipped from his wrist, and was then thrown towards the sharp corner of the window. The liquid seemed completely unaffected by wind and gravity, sticking directly to the corners.
The poison instantly turned a section of the horn purple, and even the fluff falling from it was not immune. At the same time, the rot began to gather quickly, forming a huge sea urchin-shaped ball, but there was also an obvious sign on it. Some purple.
At this moment, Lian Qingyi aimed at this "sea urchin" and pulled the trigger.
The flames roared past, and the fishy smell in the room instantly turned into a burnt smell. The unpleasant smell spread, but was then crushed by the sword light.
Han Xizhe had already taken action, and the "Crushing Cut" was attached to the edge of his sword, cutting all abnormalities into pieces in a network shape. The sea urchin in the flames was torn by the sword light and thrown directly out the window, and the flames followed. It burned toward the corner of the window.
"Kill it." Han Xizhe swung his sword again to activate his ability. This time, the crushing cut fell on the horn sticking out from the sky. The distribution center gives visitors the level of "god", and the attack is enough to damage the origin of magic. The horn obviously sensed the threat, and immediately began to retreat backwards, and actively disconnected the injured part. More fluff was spread by it into the room, trying to make it a defense that hinders tourists.
】
At this moment, Lu Ning pulled out a candle from the small room.
"I can't do anything." Watanabe Fuchiko said.
"It doesn't matter, I'll do it. Lista, if she really grew up like that, would be a bit more stubborn than Rennix."
Lu Ning lit the candle, took a deep breath, and fixed the target of the curse on the brown corner.
An abnormal moment comes from the abyss, and the abilities given by the distribution center are not the "demon" of this world, but more regular effects. The moment Lu Ning's curse came, the crack in the sky suddenly closed, cutting off the corner that extended to the window, and actually gave up most of his power to escape.
Lu Ning was a little regretful. If it had been a few seconds later, the power of the curse would have been able to reach the body along the horn.
"Escaped." Han Xizhe shook his head slightly.
The tourists looked at each other, understanding each other. No one used all their strength in this attack, and the person who made the attack only used their most vulnerable ability, and even tried to cover it up.
After all, the tourists currently have this kind of spare power. The fourth-level tourists who have experienced in various scenes can judge that the strength of the sharp corner is not very strong, and can be said to be slightly inferior to the tourists in this room.
On the contrary, Lista is a bit unpredictable.
"Lista, can you come out?" Lu Ning asked.
Shinmiya Asaka's shadow shook, and Lista walked out of the shadow, her face still with an expression that was difficult to distinguish.
"We have proven it. Now is it time for you to have a good talk with us?" Lu Ning asked.
"You are not the origin of magic, so what are you? You were able to blend into my deduction and occupy the positions of some of the secondary characters, and now you have shown such an ability..."
Lista crossed the sword in her hand.
"I never knew that 'gods' like you existed in the world."
"Because we are not gods." Lu Ning said.
"Lista, you have a very clear purpose, don't you? Have we really had any impact on your purpose?" Heizhen Kuzumi said with a smile, "On the contrary, our joining has added more details to your deduction. There are so many variables, and your own calculations probably won’t achieve the ending you really want to see, right?”
"...I still don't know your origins, and I can't trust you."
"Then you might as well start with the smallest details." Watanabe Fuchiko said.
"detail?"
Watanabe Fuchiko took a step forward: "We have not entered all of your deductions. You have conducted many deductions, and this is only the third time we have intervened. And you are now the master of this deduction. People, you can exert some influence on it, but you have to go in and observe it in person. The difference between us is that we can become characters in it and thus affect the process of the deduction. You can't, because Lista did not do it on September 2 It existed on Yami Island on the 15th.”
"yes."
"However, you can let Lista appear, or you can add or remove some people on the island. Our goal is to find the true legacy of Rennix, and your goal is to restore the truth of the year. There is no conflict between the two. And Judging from the current situation, you can't threaten us, just like we can't threaten you, right?"
Lista nodded.
"Then, let's start from now on." Watanabe Fuchiko pointed downwards, "I guess the failure you are talking about is that the last time it developed to this point, you killed Arisa Saotome. As a result, you got a mistake the result of."
"This development is already wrong."
"But we need to know more. Besides, being able to correct one thing is better than doing nothing." Watanabe Fuchiko smiled softly, "Continue? How about that?"
Lista stared at Watanabe Fuchiko carefully for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Okay."

The frozen time began to flow again. However, at this moment, Lu Ning could not control the situation. After all, when Lista launched the attack, she had already entered a fighting state, and switching was not allowed at this time.
But she wasn't that worried.
A heart-shocking string sound instantly rang in everyone's ears. This sound had a destructive effect on the operation of magic in less than a second, thus erasing most of the power of magic. Only live ammunition still had power, but in The feather protection around Arisa Saotome did not hit any fatal parts.
"It's best not to be so impulsive."
Shinmiya Qianxia didn't know when she had held the violin in her hands. Her expression was still a little dazed, but it had attracted everyone's attention.
"Heart Palace!" Milia shrank and immediately blocked Lista's side, but Heart Palace would naturally not launch further attacks.
"I hope you won't make a mistake. Ms. Saotome seems to know a lot of inside information. If we kill her directly, it will be a little difficult for us to understand the full extent of Mr. Rennix's plan. I don't want to die here. It’s an island.”
"Are you a magician?" Gustave asked.
"It is now." Xingong Qianxia replied leisurely.
Arisa Saotome didn't launch any attack at this time. Asaka Shinmiya just attacked indiscriminately. Everyone was affected by the vibration of the string sound. Now she can't activate her magic power and has been shot a few more times. Her whole body is... In a rather weak state.
"Ms. Milia, Miss Lista, Mr. Gustav... can everyone calm down a little?" Asaka Shinnomiya asked again.
