When I returned to the door of the room, it was already late at night. Lu Ning knocked on Watanabe Fuchiko's door first. She was really tired today. There was indeed a lot that Rennix could reveal when he was alive, but someone had to consolidate the information she collected.
After all, for Lu Ning herself, the best she can do to solve a problem is to cut off all the problematic parts. Although she is not good at comprehensive analysis, she is not someone who specializes in this after all.
Watanabe Fuchiko was indeed awake, and after Lu Ning told her everything about today, she was not too surprised. In fact, Lu Ning knew that Watanabe Fuchiko's usual surprises were just to suit the mood. She occasionally read one or two books read by Watanabe Fuchiko, who really liked history and human sociology.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's you who will have to work hard next." Lu Ning felt quite relaxed after saying that, "I'm afraid your plan will have to make some adjustments."
"Ah, in fact, there is no need to make too many adjustments." Watanabe Fuchiko smiled, "Any plan always needs to take into account various unexpected factors. As long as it does not shake the core of the overall idea, it will not cause too many Influence."
"You people are so smart." Lu Ning was a little surprised. She originally thought that knowing so many things would cause a lot of damage to Watanabe Fuchiko's overall idea.
"Our goal is to fulfill Lista's wish, ensure that all Renix's plans fail, and allow the people on the island to survive as much as possible - to be honest, this would have required sufficient planning to deal with various possible accidents. . Although I like to leave some loopholes, these loopholes are also exploited by others. You can't slack off when facing nature." Watanabe Fuchiko pulled out a few pieces of paper from a drawer, "You are very tired today. Then you don’t need to participate in tonight’s action. These pieces of paper are things that may be related to your future actions. If you are interested, you can take a look.”
"Thank you." Lu Ning took the piece of paper and didn't look at it directly. "In addition, the tourists' problem..."
"Sooner or later, the tourist battle will break out, but not today." Watanabe Fuchiko said, "How is your energy? Has today's experience caused any soul damage to you?"
"It should be more or less, I don't know to what extent. At least now I feel that I am not in a good state." Lu Ning rubbed his eyes, "Fatigue is the main thing."
Watanabe Fuchiko nodded: "This is a good thing. When the soul is damaged to the point that it affects people, it will make people feel that they have endless energy. You need to rest, don't worry, nothing will happen tonight."
"Okay." Lu Ning yawned, stood up, and smiled, "Thank you."
"Peace of mind."

After experiencing a whole day of strange things, Lu Ning didn't have any strange dreams. She just slept lightly and could hear some slight noises coming from the corridor.
She got up from bed around nine o'clock the next morning. Her fatigue was not completely gone, but her energy was restored a lot. She first read several pieces of paper given to her by Watanabe Fuchiko and then burned them. Then she organized her medical supplies and went upstairs to meet Rennix.
Nothing happened today, the murders that had occurred in previous rounds did not happen this time. Lu Ning saw some traces. Although most of the traces should have been cleaned up, there were still some remnants left in the corners. It seems that in order to maintain stability today, something happened last night.
After she went upstairs, she soon saw Rennix. This time, in addition to Escher, Gustav, Justina and Lian Qingyi were also in the room.
"Doctor Lu, good morning. You look a little tired." Escher said politely when he opened the door.
"A lot of things happened yesterday after all." Lu Ning smiled and her eyes fell on Lian Qingyi in the room.
"Mr. Lian was reporting to me on the problem of the out-of-control magic engraving last night. After it left the hall, it went towards the Eagle Eye Hall and disappeared halfway due to lack of energy." Rennix said, "Mr. Lian has been We are following up and observing, and there should be no further follow-up.”
"Sorry, it was me yesterday..."
"That situation was purely accidental." Lian Qingyi stroked his beard, "Fortunately, it didn't cause a bigger disturbance."
Lu Ning asked Rennix again if he wanted to undergo an examination today, but Rennix said that it was not necessary. The family dinner that he needed to complete the most was over, and there was no use in examining this body now.
"It just so happens that the doctor is here, so let's start solving the next matter." Rennix gestured to Escher and asked him to take out the two "opponent" creations captured yesterday from the corner.
After the preliminary inspection last night, Rennix continued to conduct a more detailed inspection of these two items. He doesn't care who becomes his enemy, he just needs to understand the enemy's methods.
These two assassins have had most of their thinking abilities wiped away, leaving only the parts directly related to the assassination. This is also the producer's insurance measure. Rennix couldn't read too many thoughts, but the peeling off of the opponent was obviously not a perfect technique, and many meaningless words were still lurking in the assassin's fragmented soul.
"It's difficult to piece together a complete sentence. They can no longer think beyond assassination. These are just some of the signals received from the outside world after being made like this."
Lu Ning could see that there were a large number of silver luminous runes floating on both objects. They did not come from any existing language. In Rennix's words, they were soul words, similar to subconscious retellings. It needs a second translation to become a language that people today can understand. Of course, the several aborigines present no longer needed an interpreter.
"Some plans." Gustave looked at the scattered words, "But they are too scattered and the original meaning cannot be guessed at all. These two poor people have lost most of their human characteristics..."
"Are they dead?" Lu Ning asked.
"It can't be considered dead... still breathing." Rennix said, "It's just that in this state, it's not even as good as a madman. At least we still have the means to read the soul of a madman."
"I remember Mr. Makailov is a psychic." Lu Ning added.
"He does have some real skills."
"That's not what I'm asking. It doesn't matter if he's alive or not. I'm asking if you can learn something from the dead." Lu Ning pointed to the two things.
"Of course we will." Rennix, Gustav and Justina looked at each other, "Even if this method is not used, magicians still need to know."
"Very good, then let them be freed." Lu Ning said.
Rennix looked at Lu Ning and laughed: "Doctor Lu's methods are also very powerful."
"No need to flatter me, Mr. Lian has similar abilities, you probably already know that?" Lu Ning glanced at Lian Qingyi with a half-smile, Lian Qingyi coughed lightly and did not answer.
Killing the two assassins was very simple. Gustav's palm passed over them, and the invisible curse force fell, killing the two assassins in an instant. Immediately afterwards, Lu Ning stretched out her hands and touched the painting and book, activating the "red herring" ability.
This ability is to fake the cause of death, and its effects will truly affect the real world. Although it cannot change the real cause of death, it can make various modifications to the shape of the corpse. At this moment, she used this ability to forcefully separate the two The person who has been made into an object is restored to his complete form.
"The cause of their death was that they were killed by Mr. Gustave's curse, and the rest has been forged by me. Theoretically, they should now be two assassins disguised by me and killed by Mr. Gustave. .Mrs. Justina, please take action."
Justina, who had already prepared her psychic skills, immediately touched a water basin she had prepared at hand. White mist slowly rose from the basin, twisting into the shape of two people.
"Answer." Justina tapped the edge of the basin lightly, "Where are you from?"
One of the souls spoke, and at first it was a tearing cry, but soon, the sound began to become smoother, like a signal receiver being aligned with the band.
"I was a soldier. I was wounded and was taken away. They were not rescuers. I was tied to a bed. There were four or five people. They surrounded me and they crushed me with tools I had never seen before. Every inch of flesh and blood. I was put into a bottle. I don’t know why I can still think, I can still feel the outside world, but I can’t even break out in a cold sweat. I - heard -"
"The memory of the human part is still relatively complete up to the period that was just refined." Seeing that the soul was a little stuck, Rennix began to construct another magic. "However, his thinking ability obviously dissipated very quickly, and Stefan probably also I didn’t expect that someone could forcibly integrate the scattered souls into one place, but just crushed his soul. That’s right, they don’t have the ability to directly destroy the soul.”
A stable magic circle fell into the soul. After a short period of silence, the soul spoke again, this time becoming slightly more understandable.
"In order to kill Rennix..."
"...He is pursuing taboos, and the origin of magic has been..."
"There are not enough raw materials. We still need..."
"The carrier has been found."
"Crazy, someone has been..."
Some jumbled sentences emanated from the soul's mouth, and ended up in broken words.
"Much better, but it's a pity that after it became like this, its own memory ability also suffered a lot." Rennix shook his head, "What about the other one? I believe Altana is better than Stefan's in terms of information recording. The people are much stronger."
Under Justina's guidance, another soul also opened its mouth.
"I am a carpenter and I am also a wizard. Renix, Altana Silva has something to say to you."
It should be said that he is worthy of being a master in the field of information recording. The tool made by Altana finally made the soul speak more clearly, and even included a message.
"I'm not sure who can restore it, but based on my understanding of the research results of today's magicians, if someone can restore this information, it must be related to you, Renix. You must feel a little strange, Why would I use such means, why should I be your enemy?"
Rennix nodded slightly, which was what surprised him.
"First of all, this matter has nothing to do with Escher. Although we have the same surname, the connection between blood is extremely weak. You should know that the field I study, storage and recording, is a direction closely related to exploration. . And in many times of communication through magic, I heard some words, or lies, that come from the origin of magic. This lets me know that you are leading a disaster to this world that is enough to become a crisis of annihilation."
Lu Ning raised her head and glanced at Rennix, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Rennix was indeed aiming for this goal, but he actually did not achieve this goal.
However, what followed made everyone slightly nervous.
"But I don't believe it, even though this is the word about the origin of magic. I believe even more that you are incorporating everything into your research. I understand you as a person, better than those nihilistic gods. But now I already understand magic. A trace of the truth about the origin, I saw a dark space, I saw endless surges of uncontrolled magic, my soul has been transformed into a pure magic beam, it can no longer be modified in any way, I consider my death to be the return of my soul."
Escher's face turned a little ugly.
"My character is being distorted. I clearly feel this and am powerless to reverse the situation. Fortunately, I am good at recording information, so I used the stupidest way to record what I was thinking when I was awake. I killed I killed a dozen innocent people, just to be able to make them into the containers I need. I know very well that after I go completely crazy, I will definitely execute the whisper of the origin of magic. Ah, even they have fallen into the erosion of that huge magic power. , they may feel the same as me. This carefully crafted murder weapon will be sent to you through your opponent... To be honest, I don’t think you are likely to see this information, but I still want to remind you ,my friend."
The soul paused here, hinting that the next point was the point. And Rennix already knew what he wanted to say, but it was a pity that this information was not discovered by the Rennix in real history.
"...Don't think of the origin of magic as the target you want to deal with, at least they are not the main target. After the origin of magic, the ownerless magic, the magic with chaotic and corrosive properties is the most terrifying thing. Once you deal with it, It creates a connection and there’s no way we can escape.”
