Lu Ning was able to understand the problem of "musk" because she went to the corpse of the magic power and learned more or less about the nature of the magic power. However, it was precisely because of her exposure that she was able to prematurely activate this bug.
These were not big problems originally. Even if it was an activated magic mark like musk, its influence was limited. Lu Ning was relatively calm just now because he felt that the mark itself did not have much lethality.
The problem is, how to eliminate the final island-wide "madness" caused by the magic mark within Watanabe Fuchiko's plan? This is a rather difficult thing to do, and based on her understanding of Watanabe Fuchiko , that guy would probably be quite happy with this unexpected question.
The servant's room was now completely empty. Lu Ning walked to the chair where "Musk" appeared. Her field of vision could be divided into two sides: magic and reality. This was a gift she got from her trip...or a curse. .
"She's still here." Lu Ning blinked, trying to adapt to the mistake in front of her, "But... it can be said that everyone is here."
There are a large number of imprints in the servant's room. These imprints not only form a person, but even form an almost moving picture. These marks will not be activated while other servants are still alive, but after the death of the servant, the marks will begin to have an impact on reality.
The gathering that takes place here every year also leaves a mark, but because everything is still normal, the mark is still unable to be activated. Lu Ning reached out and touched the chair. Nothing unusual would happen at this moment. After all, "Musk" had left here.
After Lu Ning thought for a moment, she reached out and grabbed the magic thread in the air. The magic power fluctuated slightly, but it had no effect.
Sure enough...the rules of the distribution center are still at the highest level. Visitors cannot directly apply any power in the scene like this, and can only use some indirect means. Even if Xingong Qianxia traced the source at that time, she could only counterattack with magic and couldn't release any magic, and the same was true for Lu Ning.
After sighing, Lu Ning walked into the house and followed the magic clues to find what she wanted to find.
"die."
After looking at some personal items, she nodded slightly. After understanding some of the essence, she already had more inferences about the various changes on the island. The "death" designed by Rennix is also shaped by the magic power of the entire island. Starting from the family rules, everyone who comes to the island shows the direction of the rules under the shape of various invisible magic powers. Therefore, , The origins and where the people on the island come from are not important to the whole. Doctors, nutritionists, accountants, lawyers... everything will become what is planned after their death.
The living cannot detect it, and the deep changes suffered by the dead are even more difficult to discern.
"It's a very similar effect to my 'red herring.'"
Lu Ning himself is using the ability to tamper with death information, so it's not surprising that there is a similar situation here. What's more, if the original identity meets the requirements, there is almost no need to make any modifications to their death.
However, she had to confirm with Rennix whether this was his handiwork.
The family dinner was coming to an end, and Lu Ning didn't care what chaos the bug had caused. It would be healed by regular magic after wandering on its own for a period of time. Now, Lu Ning has already run to the door of Rennix on the fourth floor, waiting for Rennix to come back from downstairs after explaining things to his family.
Rennix was not surprised to see her, but smiled: "Dr. Lu, it seems that you really made an unexpected discovery?"
"It can only be said that it is a bit too unexpected." Lu Ning shrugged, "Mr. Rennix, now I have a few key questions to ask you about the situation here. I hope you will answer truthfully."
"Come to the house."
Rennix and Escher were both insiders, and Lu Ning didn't care. After entering the room, she described a series of her experiences to Rennix, including her understanding of the "musk". Finally, she asked: "Although I have many questions that I want to know, the first thing I want to know now is whether all of this was arranged intentionally by you, or was it an accident caused by your negligence?"
Rennix did not answer immediately. He was silent for a moment before speaking: "Musk... is indeed a question I didn't think of. As for the magic mark you mentioned, I formed it intentionally. The high concentration of magic on this island It’s the environment that was created for that.”
"Has this type of thing happened before?"
"One person's influence is very small. It can even be said that even if half of the servants are reduced, there will be no problems with the daily conditions of this island." Rennix said confidently, "The catalysis of the imprint requires this island. Normality must be completely destroyed to happen, and what you just said is only because you are a special case."
"I asked someone before I came up - they were insiders. It showed my appearance when it materialized."
"After all, Musk does not exist in reality. I can assure you that Musk has lost contact before this. She most likely encountered my enemy and was killed. For some reason, she was unable to exist on the island at this time. I am right The Eight Eyes Island on this side has enough control, and I can know whoever appears on the island among humans."
"Who is the person who murdered Musk? Mr. Rennix, you promised the servants that you would give them a chance for revenge, or on this island, there is no need for you to make an empty promise here."
Rennix suddenly showed a weird smile.
"Doctor Lu, you know a lot about me, but I don't think you know much about the world I live in. You know that I am a magic genius. I have completed many magic research projects. The various results I have achieved on this path are earth-shattering when they are announced, and this also means that those who can become enemies with me will not be much weaker than me in strength."
"It's understandable that there are magicians and living organizations similar to you, but what next?"
"Nine servants, eight returned. This is not a matter of luck. My enemies, my opponents, they have also made great achievements in the field of magic. In fact, I am not sure whether these servants are still the same person. Come back, then you should understand.”
"You have to analyze possible crises among the servants first." Lu Ning nodded, "Then you have probably secretly checked the obvious evidence I found - but everyone's belongings are somewhat suspicious. place."
"They are still ordinary people. Magicians can still do something with their belongings. Only on this island, they have the ability to compete with magicians. As for the eight servants, everyone's belongings are There were some problems, and I'm not sure if everyone was 'replaced,' but I'm sure my old enemy was involved."
In the past, when everything happened, this wasn't a problem. The death of the servants will be reshaped by magic, and Renix's plan can continue to advance steadily. The original identities of the servants are not the focus. But now, if Lu Ning and Watanabe Yuenko are still pursuing the matter to be ended smoothly, then the identity of these people will become a big trouble. After all, it is impossible to sneak in without a mission.
"Then we might as well be more open and honest." Lu Ning leaned forward slightly, "You should know that through many reincarnations, we have experienced different directions. And in one of the directions, Shinmiya Asaka and Kuzumi Hei Mint and Ambergris failed to land on the island when they were not played by us."
"This alone cannot confirm whether there is a problem with these two people, because - with all due respect, Doctor Lu, can you be sure what actions the people you played would have taken at this previous point in time?"
"Ah, this really can't be done."
Lu Ning could only guess what she would do. She couldn't even guess what Watanabe Fuchiko would do, but this did not hinder her thinking.
"However, as long as we replace these two people, mint and ambergris can come to the island. For more observation records, we can turn to Lista, and I can even ask you directly - in the reality of history, the island How many servants are there in total?”
"Sorry, I don't have this memory." Rennix shook his head.
"Then I can tell you, six." Lu Ning said.
She saw those distorted shadows on the withered trees of the magic corpses. Escher was certainly the most recognizable one, and the rest, as long as they were originally transformed from beings with magical powers, also retained something that could describe them. Characteristics of the human form. For example, the things that the servants turned into had distorted patterns on their collars.
"Musk will die under any circumstances, but the other two people will not die after our role is replaced. Mr. Rennix, I am afraid only you can explain this reason to me."
"I personally searched for both Janet and Haydn. Although most of the servants were trained by me, there were not many who were found by me instead of through honest hands. To put it more simply, in the environment I formed In this process of discovering talents, the proportion of servants with me as the first discoverer is not high. As for Musk, she doesn’t have so many secrets. From the few clues I investigated, she was met by a group of very professional people. The attack by magic hunters, the traces at the scene were handled in a hurry, and they probably didn’t gain anything.”
"You really have some backup plans."
"I'm sorry." Rennix sighed, "So, Musk is the responsibility of an external person, and the other two people are the people who are expected to land on the island. This is the best guess I can think of. Because you obviously have more With more knowledge, maybe they will feel that they can put more spies in when someone is in control."
"But you just hinted at another possibility, which is that the ambush failed because the people were replaced, and the two people who came back were the original ones." Lu Ning said.
"We guess these are too inefficient." Rennix suddenly laughed, "Since they are all here, let's call them over for interrogation."
It has to be said that Lu Ning's thoughts are sometimes a little too cautious. At least she prefers to lurk in the dark and investigate slowly. For a deviant magician like Rennix, if there are enough doubts, it is enough to arrest him for interrogation. .
Five minutes later, Escher called the two men over.
"Master." The two servants saluted Rennix respectfully. Rennix nodded slightly and said, "Janet, Haydn, what happened to you on the way back?"
Just when Lu Ning thought that this was a bit inconsistent with the attitude of "interrogation", a bright light like a lens flash exploded in the room. Mint and Ambergris had just reacted to Rennix's words, and they suddenly stood frozen. In place.
And Rennix was pulling a piece of letter paper out of the envelope.
Lista's use of "Desperate Express" is relatively simple and direct, but as the original owner, Renix naturally has more diverse application methods.
"what have you done?"
"Recording their first reactions, their thoughts, and their own reactions - this will inevitably cause some thinking gaps, but since we think they have a problem, we have to do it."
"Is this stationery so powerful?"
"Despair Express is one of the best collections I have collected. Except for its insufficient attack power, its comprehensive capabilities in other aspects are no less than the soul-returning pillar, the nested mirror, and the sleep of nothingness." Rennix read. The words on the paper read, "But this result is really surprising...these two are indeed the same person."
"Is there no problem with your thinking? Then what have they experienced?"
"Janet is a very smart child. She has always been within the sphere of influence of the Howard Consortium. The only crisis came when she went to the countryside to say goodbye to a few friends, where she was ambushed by three hunters."
"Just three?"
"The number of magicians who are qualified to be hostile to me is limited, and there are even fewer who can be hunters." Rennix shook the letter and returned it to the inside of the envelope. Mint and Ambergris immediately returned to normal, but their reactions were a bit slow and they seemed to have forgotten what had just happened.
"Do you understand?" Rennix asked.
"Yes!" Longxiu agreed in a deep voice, and then Mint nodded slightly. The two of them turned around and left quickly, and Lu Ning narrowed her eyes when she saw this.
"This thing can even stuff false memories?"
"It has very advanced information integration and processing capabilities. In matters other than the origin of magic, it can tamper with almost all information that people come into contact with." Rennix put the envelope back into the drawer, "But now is not the time to discuss this. If Miya and Kuzumi Heizhen have confirmed that there is no threat, what we have to deal with is the matter of my old enemies. After all, after the family dinner... the incident will begin."
"Under the current circumstances, will someone still start killing?" Lu Ning asked.
"Yes, because this is also one of the marks engraved on the island."
