When Lu Ning and others went out, the conversation between Watanabe Fuchiko and Lista had ended. Kanzaki Takaya leaned over and said a few words into Mayuri Daida's ear, and Mayuri nodded.
"Everyone, good news, Ms. Lista has agreed to cooperate with us." Watanabe Fuchiko said in a brisk tone, "In the next round, she will provide us with some help, not much, because she is very familiar with the scene. The ability to intervene is also very limited.”
"This time, you can completely integrate with yourself in the scene." Lista followed, "Of course, it is limited to you. If you choose to play someone else, you will not have this effect. With The complete integration of yourself allows you to fully possess the memories and abilities of the characters in the scene, without the need for... uh, what Ms. Watanabe said about switching."
"Sounds good." Lu Ning nodded.
"But we still don't quite believe that such a good thing could happen."
Yu Guiting and four other people walked out of another room. It was exactly what Yu Guiting said just now.
"Miss Lista, cooperation is about integrity. Since we can have such benefits, you should also explain the corresponding shortcomings to us so that we can weigh the pros and cons." Yu Guiting said directly Regarding his own conditions, "To be honest, the trust I can give to the Howard family who has caused such a big thing is very limited."
"There are two problems you will encounter. The first is the impact of the original character's identity, memory, and personality on your actions. I am not sure how big this impact will be. The second is how many people will have the ability after the fusion. It is also unknown whether his personality is still useful. In addition, this interference will cause me to be unable to obtain specific information about the entire direction, so after everyone enters, I will no longer be able to give suggestions from here as I just did."
"In this case, let us think about it for a while. Since this round is so special, I think it is better to be more cautious." Lian Qingyi touched his beard, "Everyone, please forgive me, Yu Guiting and I need to discuss it. .”
Immediately, the fog enveloped the two people.
Then, the tourists also entered the fog of private discussion.
"Tell me, what's the real situation?" Lu Ning asked.
Watanabe Fuchiko shook her head: "I'm afraid this is the last round she can maintain."
"It's pretty fast." Lu Ning was not surprised.
"Lista doesn't completely trust us, even me. I guess her last desperate move will allow herself to truly participate in the island. Even if it has a profound impact on history, she must make the new The story is overwritten on the old story. For us, it is relatively simple. First, completely destroy Rennix’s plan; second, target the tourists who are our enemies; third, the success of the two of us. Ascending Order."
"That's putting it lightly. You allowed Orlando and Jason to advance easily, which has made our current situation tense." Lu Ning said in a joking tone.
"Jason's accident is a bit close to the truth. I don't want to share too many points for promotion. As for Orlando, it's just to compensate for their losses. And it's not bad to have this flaw. We don't understand these two. People who are in trouble should leave early."
"Okay, back to the topic, do we two need to play ourselves? The doctor and the nutritionist don't seem to have such obvious dominance." Lu Ning said.
"But so far, the behind-the-scenes of these people have not been deeply explored. On this island full of talents, how can an ordinary black doctor and a nutritionist with an ordinary background be on the island?"
Lu Ning smiled, she thought the same way. Even in the last round when Lista identified eight people with high inspiration, there were no doctors or nutritionists. Rennix's reason for looking for these two people now seems to be full of loopholes.
"I will kill Tsuburaya Temple Sora and Shinnomiya Asaka first." Lu Ning said, "When the battle starts, you can look at the situation. If you have time, you can help me deal with one of them."
"You seem confident?"
"They don't have much capacity left."
"I see."
"In addition, a battle may break out between Yu Guiting and Lian Qingyi, and the two groups I just talked to. Try not to get involved in this. Watanabe Fuchiko, have you heard that there is a knighthood recently that is fighting some Do they think heretical tourists are attacking?”
"This... our organization is too small and we have never encountered anything like this." Watanabe Fuchiko shook her head, "If you want to know the specific situation, why not go to the fifth level and see if you can find your big organization and ask one time."
"Okay. Then, let's decide."

Muddy consciousness flooded into his brain, and the experience belonging to another person began to become his own. This feeling, which was very much like taking over one's body, made Lu Ning feel uncomfortable - perhaps it had something to do with memory.
The "doctor"'s experience was worse than what Lu Ning could find. She almost became a waste who lived in the slums and relied on anesthetics to anesthetize herself all day long. It could only be regarded as a moment of luck. She fell into the river at night and failed to participate in that event. It's just a party that can make her irrecoverable.
However, during that time, the "doctor"'s life was basically full of gloom. She had a pretty good talent, but this talent was only for learning medical skills. In fact, around her, there were many "doctors" with mediocre medical skills, but they were able to hold high positions simply because they were able to sell a large amount of medicines and make a lot of money - that party that almost ruined her life was "Sponsored" by a doctor in her town.
One can imagine how the "doctor's" mentality will change after growing up in such a shitty environment. Although she left the "hell" where she grew up by taking the exam, she found after leaving that "hell" was everywhere.
Then, shortly after graduation, she caught up with the economic recession. A medical student with no background could not find a job at all, and it was impossible to repay her student loan.
Just when life is about to slide back into hell again, the "doctor" comes into contact with magic.
The plot is very cliche, she saves a man who is passed out in an alley. Of course, street fights were nothing new. In her living environment, she would encounter two incidents every kilometer while driving. She only saved the person because he could be saved alive, but she didn't expect that he was a magician who was being hunted by his enemies.
She used poison and some small tricks to help the magician kill his enemy, and the magician's reward was to help her set up a black clinic and introduce her to the locations of two secret gatherings, and then disappeared. . The "doctor" has been running the clinic by his own skills so far. He also learned some magic knowledge from the gathering, but he has no chance to get started. After she learned that the Howard Consortium seemed to be related to magic, she deliberately started to get closer to them. Finally, she had the opportunity to arrange several tentative treatments, and then she was successfully chosen by Howard.
She became Lenix Howard's doctor, which was unexpected. When the invitation came, she agreed with almost no hesitation. Her desire for magic made her abandon many worries. This was not a problem that could be solved by self-study.
Shortly after agreeing to the invitation, the "doctor" received another letter from the magician she saved. He asked the doctor for help, hoping that the doctor could help him make some preparations for Rennix, and sent him a box of very precious materials.
Such is the arrogance of magicians.
Today is September 20th. The motorboat takes Lu Ning to the island. She is holding a recently popular book in her hand. The invitation letter from Howard's family is sandwiched under the title page. The medicine box and suitcase are placed beside her. side. The doctor landed on the island earlier than others. Before that, she had met Rennix several times and helped him recuperate his body.
——The "conditioning" is mostly done by a nutritionist. She mainly controls the dosage of Lenix.
The previous need to pay attention to switching between bystander and controller status has disappeared. Lu Ning has now integrated with the identity of "doctor". Of course, the doctor's experience, which in Lu Ning's opinion was not considered wonderful, had little impact on her. After all, she was still a different person from the other person.
"Doctor Lu! We're here!"
After the boat slowed down, it soon hit the pier. Lu Ning stuffed the book into her luggage, picked up the medicine box, and stepped off the boat. The captain waved his hand to her: "I have sent a message to the island, and someone will pick you up soon. Just stay around the pier and don't leave!"
"Thanks."
Only about ten minutes after the captain left, a car came to greet her. The driver was Bayleaf, and it seemed that he was responsible for most of the work of picking people up.
"How is Mr. Rennix's health?" Lu Ning asked him.
"We don't dare to judge the owner's condition at will. It's better for the doctor to go and take a look."
"Who else is here on the island besides you?"
"The two friends of the family master have already arrived in the morning, but they are resting now. The master's order is that after you arrive, I will take you to see him immediately. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."
"It's okay, that's why I'm here, just drive."
Soon, Lu Ning met Rennix Howard in the main hall.
Since she came to the island on September 25th several times before, Lu Ning was not so clear about what happened before. But this time she actually returned to September 20th when the doctor landed on the island. This means So she has more time...or maybe she won't enter the familiar plot of the previous three rounds this time.
Lenix Howard, the image of this old man in front of her seemed to be somewhat different from her previous impression.
He has pale hair, a tired look, his eyes have lost most of his figure, and his whole person is in a sickly state. Fortunately, Rennix was still able to talk. After he asked Bayleaf to leave the room, he asked Lu Ning to sit in front of him.
"Doctor Lu Ning." Rennix spoke, and Lu Ning immediately noticed the subtle difference between this Rennix and the impression he had - the natural sense of arrogance no longer existed in the old man in front of him. On the verge of death, the inevitable end of life is before us.
"Howard family, I think you have already understood. You are very smart. Although you are a little eager, you know what you want and you successfully got it."
"Not yet, Mr. Rennix. My pursuit is not over yet." Lu Ning replied.
"Hahaha, yes, you are still young...don't talk about this. Doctor, what I am talking to you about now is not a very serious topic, just a casual chat. Oh, you can also help me with my diagnosis during this process. no problem."
"good."
Lu Ning helped Rennix to the bed and began to prepare for the physical examination. But she could actually tell without using these instruments that Rennix didn't have long to live - maybe two or three months shorter than when she saw him in previous rounds.
"The Howard family is very strict about doctors. You do not meet the requirements, and your background check results are not very qualified." Rennix said, "You often participate in magic gatherings and even participated in an attack on magicians. Murder, you are a very dangerous man, extremely ambitious...and yet it is precisely because of this that I personally selected you."
"Do I have the qualities you need?"
"Are you eager to enter this mysterious realm?"
"Yes, I grew up in a dirty place. I thought that after leaving a garbage dump, I would be able to walk into a slightly cleaner place, but I didn't expect that garbage dumps were everywhere." Lu Ning used a less drastic statement. , "Even I know that the circle of magicians is not very clean."
"But you still have to enter the circle."
"Yes, after all, there may be some power in it that I can use, rather than just being bad." Lu Ning glanced at the readings on the instrument, and her heart sank.
"That's true. Although the study of magic will bring despair to people even if it is deeply studied, temporary power is still power after all. It surpasses the limits of most personal abilities in this world." Renix tilted his head slightly. "Doctor, I can help you realize this wish."
"Mr. Rennix, there is no such thing as a free lunch."
"No, I have a request, and you have to leave here alive before what you want can come to you. This is a dangerous deal, are you willing to accept it?"
"I don't care about life." Lu Ning lowered his head, "It's you, Mr. Rennix. Judging from the data I've seen, your fire of life will probably be extinguished at any time, and you won't even survive until the end of the banquet. Do you want to How to fulfill your promise?”
"There are many ways to fulfill promises. You should believe that people like me can leave enough behind to ensure that my promises will be implemented in accordance with the established rules. And this is what I want to trade with you. Content."
"You want me to extend your life? Mr. Rennix, my medical skills cannot cure a series of complications that are imminent in death."
"Don't worry, doctor, you may be too impatient. You can first understand...the magic you have been pursuing."
After Renix finished speaking, he clapped his hands gently. The wall behind his bed suddenly began to silently open to the side, revealing a door.
"this……"
What shocked Lu Ning was not the existence of the secret door, but what she saw behind the door.
In the dark room, on an old armchair, a man was sleeping in a sitting posture - Rennix Howard.
