Among the people present, the only people who actually participated in Elena's funeral were Escher, Gustav and Justina, but they all seemed to assume that the relevant people knew about it and no one ever mentioned it.
"Why didn't anyone tell you when you found items related to your grandmother?" Lista asked in surprise.
Gustav glanced at Escher: "Mr. Butler?"
"This is not a secret...but ten years ago, the master moved the grave, and now no one knows where his wife's body is buried." Escher said, "We just know that the wife is still buried on the island."
"But the first funeral you attended was also here, right? Where was that?"
"Garden, miss," Escher said.
"But now it no longer looks like the original cemetery." Gustav nodded, "But, Lista, no matter what kind of delusions Rennix has, no matter how in-depth his research on resurrection is, resurrection is not the same as before." After all, it’s not something he can do.”
This may be a statement that is limited to one's perspective, but within this scene it may be true.
"Let's go back to the topic of rain." Justina pointed to the table, "I have never seen rain that can have a drastic impact on reality. Even if it has magical properties, it cannot reach the level of filth. The effect of a specially set up ritual. No matter how powerful the origins of magic are, they cannot affect people who are not connected to the contract from a distance. This is the rule of magic."
"That's how the normal world is." Lista replied immediately, "But this island has already become an abnormal world since it was closed."
"What?" Gustav frowned.
"You may just think that this is a barrier or a large-scale ceremony, a magic planned by my grandfather to achieve the fundamental goal. Even if it is regarded as a sacrifice, there is only one situation, and I am afraid it is no longer within everyone's consideration. Yes." Lista stretched out her hand to Escher, "Escher, give me an invitation letter."
"There is only blank space on my body." Escher took out an invitation letter from his pocket. Everyone here recognized it. Everyone who came to the island had received such an invitation letter. Basically, This is the custom of the Howard family's banquet.
Lista opened the invitation, checked it inside and out, and then handed it to Gustav.
"The Howard family's invitation contains a small amount of magic power, which is usually used to prevent counterfeiting. But only this time, the magic power has a special quality."
"Contract signed." Gustav had already seen the content of the magic power.
"It's normal not to notice it, because it doesn't require you to sign it. As long as you come to the island with the invitation letter, it is equivalent to agreeing to the invitation, and it is equivalent to signing the contract. Well... from this aspect Speaking of which, my grandfather did invent a way to circumvent the fairness of the contract." Lista shook her head.
"This guy……"
Finally, Gustav's face showed some dissatisfaction.
He is quite proud of his abilities. Even when faced with a genius magician like Rennix, Gustav still doesn't feel outdone. After all, he almost walks the path of magic on his own. Until now.
It made him feel a little unhappy to be tricked out on such a small and negligent issue.
"In other words, in fact, the death of everyone on this island should deepen the corruption in the rain." Lista said, "Why does the rain never stop? Because people keep dying. This kind of contract How long can the rain caused by the forced interruption last? Escher?"
"Usually, it lasts one to two hours for one person." Escher said, "But after the barrier is deployed on the island, the concentration of magic here is increased to a level far beyond that of the ordinary environment, and the origin of magic can be maintained for longer. The magic cast by time allows a person to have at least one day.”
"If that's the case, the deaths of the Howards alone would be enough to make it rain today... Oh?" Gustav suddenly realized another problem.
The rain started early, even before the deaths of Howard family members.
"Who died?" asked Gustav.
"Since you have explained that someone with a contract can cause this rain, then it cannot be just someone to kill, but someone who has officially come to this island." Lista said.
And the people Rennix Howard invites are specific every time.
It is even simpler for tourists. After several rounds of games, tourists can fully know the list of all the people on the island who meet the requirements.
"Musk." Milia said the name, "The supposed ninth servant."
As soon as this sentence was said, the expressions of all the servants changed slightly.
"Mu Xiang...she should be dead." Jasmine said hurriedly, "We didn't wait for her to come back!"
"Or is she already back?" Rosemary stared at Lista with a serious look, "And she was killed the night before the family dinner, and she was killed on this island?"
"There is no actual evidence for this matter." Lista replied calmly, "I don't mind inferring this possibility for you, but I-"
Her words were interrupted by a roar.
Before anyone could check what happened, the ground began to shake. The sudden earthquake immediately caused everyone to lose their balance. The water glass on the table also fell over, rolled down and smashed to the ground.
But at this time, no one cared about a little rain on the table.
Such a violent earthquake could continue to tear apart the wall structure of the main hall that had just collapsed in half, and everyone had to run outside. The rest of the people moved faster than them - after all, you knew from the roar just now that something must have happened.

"Xin Gong Qian Xia" was mixed in the crowd, and no one noticed what she did.
In this round, since Watanabe Fuchiko killed the Howard family, there was no room for negotiation. She would definitely become the villain, but this villain also ambushed a group of moles in the crowd.
A monster's rapidly expanding body is squeezed out of the window. It is white flesh and blood with a paper-like texture. They quickly extend outwards, and then burst due to the squeeze. A large number of colors flow out of it, ink, oil paint, Carbon dust and mineral particles cannot dye the white paper and flesh, but they completely change the color of the surrounding things.
"Schlitt?" Justina glanced at the monster and immediately guessed.
It is quite natural for the painter to become the monster of the painting. But as a result, almost everyone in the museum was driven out into the heavy rain outside.
"Is that also the Filthy Shadow?" Milia asked.
"No." Lista explained while throwing small magic props to block the rain above her head, "The shapes formed by the filthy shadows are basically fixed, they are all in the same mud-like form, without much uniqueness. And this monster that displays a strong personal style must be caused by something else."
The monster's extended body soon came outside. The bloodshot rain began to make bright red pits on its flesh. It let out a cry of pain, squeezed out a large amount of paint from the slits on its body, and hit Makailov, who was running slower. The poor psychic didn't even have time to scream, and his whole person turned into a Colorful statues.
Seeing this, the remaining people ran faster.
"Miss, do you want to save someone?" Escher asked.
"I'm afraid we don't have that ability anymore." Lista could smell the smell of blood. She reached into her arms and took out the "Despair Express" on her body.
The words on the envelope have been stained by red bloodshot spreading from the surrounding corners, and from the inside of the letter paper, a large number of green dirty traces are also seeping out. Fortunately, there is also a competition between these two forces. The ability of this item itself still exists.

"The blood debt on this shore is like smoke, leaving only a pure land."]
Green spots and red threads completely soaked this prop, and it seemed to have truly turned into a fragile piece of paper, shattering inch by inch in Lista's hands. At this time, Lista heard Rosemary's voice.
"Just kill me……"
Half of the servants who had been following him were now kneeling on the ground. Clustered branches are emerging from their bodies, and a strong sense of strangeness is exuding from their bodies.
"Damn contract!" Lista glanced at the sky angrily. In this endless decaying rain, the apostles who had come to the island with a thin line of agreement once again got the opportunity to extend their hands here. In fact, even her body began to grow branches, but those branches were annihilated by the magic of chaos as soon as they grew, and they could still be suppressed like this for the time being.
This is... the "craziness" on the island, Lu Ning sighed softly.
No one paid attention to the fallen servant. Lista led the people and ran towards the Eagle Eye Pavilion. As long as it was not in the rain, the situation might still get better. Now the number of deaths has reached a critical point, and the thoughts of the people on this island have completely gone in an unstable direction.
From a distance, several gunshots were heard.
"That Jack is really smart."
Shingo Asaka took out the empty magazine and replaced it with a new one. There were only a few people left who ran out with her, Yu Guiting, Han Xizhe, Kuzumi Heizhen, Kanzaki Takaya, and Pan Shen. Jack disappeared alone after he emerged from the monster. Should we say that as an adventurer, he has a strong sense of crisis?
"Ah, aren't you going to act?" Kanzaki Takaya said indifferently, no longer looking like he was running away in a hurry just now.
"It's not necessary. It's almost the same as it was in the first round." Shingo Asaka pointed in the direction of the main hall.
Above the half-collapsed house, a man in servant's clothing was standing in the air, like a ghost, with an expanding white paper monster at his feet.
"What should I say? Are we going to die like this this round? Or do you have other plans?" Kuzumi Heizhen said with a smile.
"Settle our terms of exchange." Shingo Asaka fired a shot into the air, a scream came, a translucent shadow emerged from the air, and a pair of eyes formed by thick fog looked down from the sky.
"Kuzumi Heizhen, the core of Renix's research is basically a ritual to break the existing magic system. There are eight sets of rituals in this ritual. As long as any one system is completed, the ritual can be completed. This is to avoid himself being accidentally It was designed because of outside interference and one set was destroyed. Unfortunately, in every round we went through, there were problems with the eight sets of rituals."
"Han Xizhe, what you want to know is that the most threatening people and abilities on the island are not tourists and Rennix. So, Dolores, Xingong Qianxia and Kagabo who exist as spies The three of them are secretly more dangerous people. You can ask Yu Guiting about Kajiabo's mission. I got this information from him."
"Yu Guiting, Lian Qingyi, if you two want to know the hidden rules, let's go back and discuss them."
"Finally, Orlando."
Xingong Qianxia set her sights on Yu Guiting.
"You have to come with me."
"Haha, let's go our separate ways here." Kuzumi Heizhen raised his hands, and a ray of moonlight suddenly appeared in the gloomy clouds. Kanzaki Takaya's figure sank and instantly disappeared into the water at his feet.
As for the remaining two, Pan Shen and Han Xizhe looked at each other, a little helpless.
"Watanabe Fuchiko, we will not help you deal with that monster. That thing is not a general problem that should be dealt with in the scene." Han Xizhe said, "We will go back and wait for your news."
"Do you need my help?" Xingong Qianxia asked with a smile.
"No, it would be a bit weird to let others kill you. Taking advantage of the last moment, we want to try to see if we can find an opportunity." After Pan Shen finished speaking, he and Han Xizhe also chose a direction to escape.
=
Lu Ning, who heard the gunfire, knew that the people in that group had almost been completely wiped out.
There are at most nine tourists left, and there are a total of fourteen people running out from his side. Counting the number of people, if none of the tourists died, it is already approaching the limit where the number of tourists is higher than the number of people in the scene.
She was not going to control what Lista did anymore, this round had no meaning. Even though people showed unprecedented unity in this round, they were united out of trust in magic, superpowers and other powers, which was inconsistent with the original situation of the scene.
Magic should never have been made known to unrelated people.
The Eagle Eye Pavilion was already in sight, and Lu Ning was also waiting for what answers Lista could find at the last moment.
