Rosemary would not accept this excuse, just as she abided by the rule of not using magic when assassinating. Lu Ning didn't expect Zhai Jingqiu's words to convince her - she herself advocated revenge.
"I don't want you to give up revenge, but...since you can give up using magic, then it doesn't matter if you're not here, right? Or do you think Huo Yinglong will have no chance after he goes back?"
"You mean..." Rosemary opened her eyes slightly.
"Yes, there are serious problems going on on this island. If I remember correctly, something happened in the corridor last night. Since you were arrested at the Wonder Museum, I think something happened in the corridor last night. Maybe there is someone else with the problem? The servants should know."
"It's... Ms. Fuchiko Watanabe." Rosemary became less silent when talking about other things. "I heard from Iris. Originally, when the two of us acted last night, the other companions were ready to help cover. I came, but I was cut off by Ms. Fuchiko Watanabe on the way, and she said it would be fine."
"Watanabe Yuanzi?" Zhai Jingqiu asked in surprise.
"This concerns us. As for Rosemary, do you feel like you can curb some of your impulses for revenge now? Angelica Ou, what about you?"
"With all due respect, Doctor Lu," Ou Bai Zhi said, "Looking back now, Rosemary and I acted a little differently from our normal state. We shouldn't be the most impulsive among us."
"But you did take action first. Not all the servants have grudges against the Howard family. You two are directly connected." Lu Ning said.
Ou Baizhi thought for a while and asked: "Then why do we, who represent prudence and responsibility, become the first..."
"It's not just you, but you ran out, and the rest were stopped by Watanabe Fuchiko." Lu Ning said, "She must have a way to curb your impulse, but you probably ran too fast last night That’s right.”
"Ms. Watanabe has actually..."
"It depends on whether Mr. Rennix is willing to tell you about this matter." Lu Ning raised her hand to stop Ou Bai Zhi's words, and then looked at Zhai Jingqiu, "Mr. Detective, now we still need to think about how to get out. explain."
"I don't quite understand what you just exchanged, but I do understand the reasons for the crime." Zhai Jingqiu frowned and said, as an outsider, he had tried his best to understand, "Then it's not impossible to convince Mr. Jack. I Just talk about how that kid Huo Yinglong can keep his temper..."
"I have to leave the issues here to you, and leave the contact with Mr. Rennix to me. What you need to know is that many people on this island may not be able to control their desire to kill for a while, and we need to do something The best thing is to press it down." Lu Ning said.
"good."
Zhai Jingqiu performed well for his status in every round. Lu Ning didn't have time to control every little thing, so it was better to let such a person know a little bit about the inside story. As for the servants' problem, now that Watanabe Fuchiko has taken action to deal with it, it will be easier to handle.
But... Lu Ning couldn't help but pinch her eyebrows when she thought of the pieces of paper she saw in the morning.
Watanabe Fuchiko gave her something, something trivial, which prevented her from directly seeing the full extent of the other party's plan. But since she happened to visit Mo Mo's corpse last night, she could actually guess a little bit.
The nested magic ritual designed by Rennix for decades is difficult to destroy by dismantling the rings. After all, this itself is a means of preventing damage. Even Rennix himself may not be able to crack it perfectly now. No matter how capable Watanabe Fuchiko is, it will be difficult to solve Rennix's plan through conventional dismantling.

In Watanabe Fuchiko's room, the curtains were drawn, and a piece of parchment drew the outline of the entire Yamishima Island with silver strokes. The main building, annexes, forests, and roads were gradually extended in her hands. Come, and besides these actual lines, there is another layer of invisible lines covering the map of the island, forming a different picture.
"You are the scariest person I have ever seen. Do you know how long it took Asaka Shinnomiya to learn this thing?"
Shin Gong, who was sitting at the other end of the room chewing an apple, spoke.
"No, there should be a lot of smart people among the 'scholars'. Shinmiya Asaka must know a lot of powerful people."
"It was because I had all her memories that I was able to immediately grasp the usage of the Introduction to Origin Tracing. She is also a smart person. It only took more than two months to learn these theories and apply them skillfully." Shinmiya took a bite of the apple and said, "Yuangya Temple Sora has also learned a little bit, but he is slightly less talented and has not yet fully learned it. As for you—Watanabe Fuchiko, who are you?"
"Just a family member who is not taken seriously."
"Stop lying to me with your nonsense. Don't tell me. I'm afraid your friend named Lu Ning won't believe it either. If you can offer me a bargaining chip to stay here, it means you can take care of this island. Solve complex problems and ensure the normal operation of the Howard family."
"This is my promise to Lista." Watanabe Fuchiko smiled and continued the work at hand, "I always take my promises seriously, not to mention that this matter is not difficult."
"Not difficult? Those magical origins alone are difficult enough to deal with."
"The origin of magic, according to Lu Ning's description, their bodies have fallen into eternal illusions under the influence of huge magic power. Only by returning to this world can some judgment ability be restored. Their ravings can still affect the world, but their thinking Already imprisoned." Watanabe Fuchiko turned the pen in her hand, "I don't think you don't understand. In comparison, you can actually restrain your revengeful mood, which surprises me a little."
"No, you guys are not surprised." Xingong curled his lips, "Otherwise you wouldn't have proposed a deal with me."
"I have always felt that if you want to get along well with others, you should not be too smart when it is not necessary, otherwise people will stay away." Watanabe Fuchiko once again filled the pen with enough silver paint, "Shortcomings will make people stay away." People fall into the ordinary, and only ordinary people can gather together, and being high-minded and uninterested is ultimately boring.”
"Do you think you're a genius inside?"
"I used to think so, and then I died." Watanabe Fuchiko sighed, "When I was a child, everyone was praising me, and everyone thought I was a genius who could shock the world. But at that time, I had not yet thought Mature, it’s easy to be narcotized by such praise, and I didn’t even realize at what point the praise turned into a curse.”
"Wow, that's really a sad story." Xingong casually touched another apple into his hand.
"No matter what, I must at least learn a little lesson from my own death, right?" Watanabe Fuchiko smiled and sketched the last stroke, then opened the drawer, where a large number of parchment scrolls had been stacked, and she put After putting the last scroll in, he gently rang a bell at hand, and a phantom floated in the air. After the phantom, all the scrolls in the drawer disappeared.
"Which batch is this?" Xingong asked.
"The last batch." Watanabe Fuchiko stood up, put the pen back on the shelf, then walked to the window and opened the curtains.
The rain outside is still falling, and the gloomy sky is filled with dark clouds. Above the dark clouds is a barrier invisible to human eyes. Outside the barrier are the tentacles of the origin of magic. With the threat so close at hand, the island is no longer safe.
"It's time for the rain to stop." Watanabe Fuchiko sighed.
"How to resolve the relationship between people on the island?" Xingong asked, "And me?"
"Renix will definitely die. He won't be able to hold on for too long. The first issue I need to consider is to retain the most reasonable heir to the family. In other words, it is Lanewood."
"Where are the rest of them?"
"I will try my best, but this part may not be perfect." Watanabe Fuchiko turned around, "Most people's survival depends on their own efforts. I just eliminated the most dangerous problem last night, but this The people on the island will continue, even if the characters in the scene do not, but at the moment Rennix dies, all the alliances the visitors have will be broken."
"Not including me." Xin Gong accurately threw the apple core in his hand into the trash can. "I don't want to participate in your battle. You know why."
"Continue, okay." Watanabe Fuchiko chuckled, "Just stick to this principle."
Xingong snorted, opened the door and walked out of the room. After waiting for a while, Watanabe Fuchiko went out to visit Heizhen Kuzumi and Han Xizhe.
"Two gentlemen, have you found the problem with yourself?"
"The accountant is the one who comes here and is responsible for sampling." Kuzumi Heima said. "His job is very simple. He just needs to deploy the sampler. There is nothing superfluous other than that. I think Rennix's opponent should It’s about breaking down various tasks and handing them over to different people to complete.”
"Unknown device." Han Xizhe took out a strange-looking metal device from his pocket and showed it to Watanabe Fuchiko. "The purpose is unknown."
"The sampler is very simple, and you can see how it works. But we really can't understand how it works." Kuzumi Heizhen asked Watanabe Fuchiko to take it, "and these two things were arranged in advance. , had we arrived on September 25th, we would not have known this had happened."
"This is...an amplifier." Watanabe Fuchiko looked at the machine, quickly operated it twice, and then placed it on the table. Some vague fluctuations spread around the machine, but it returned to normal after spreading for about four or five meters.
"It doesn't seem to have much ability." Watanabe Fuchiko turned off the machine and said to the two of them, "What you are responsible for seems to be part of trying to build a magic passage to the outside. This is not Renix's design. It Considering the universality, it means that I don’t understand Rennix’s plan, and I just want to learn from him.”
"Then let's..."
"Don't worry, these are just some irrelevant backgrounds." Watanabe Fuchiko smiled, "They can't interfere with this island. External magicians are unable to break the island wrapped in heavy magic. These collectors No matter how powerful the amplifier is, it cannot transmit the signal to the outside world.”
"Then it seems that our status and role are useless?" Kuzumi Pingzhen smiled helplessly.
"No, first of all, the most important thing to you is the tourists. If I guessed correctly, this situation actually requires a greater degree of cooperation from the tourists to solve. Our abilities are independent of the world's operating system. Characteristics, our rank is also equivalent to the highest position in this world. We should cause the greatest interference here."
"How to interfere?"
Watanabe Fuchiko smiled and pointed at the two of them: "It hides the secrets of the sky and hides human traces."
Then she pointed to herself, then downstairs.
"Stealing power and tampering with death."
"Well……"
"Mr. Kuzumi Heima, Mr. Han Xizhe, each of us has the ability to break through the blockade of the origin of magic. We are neither magic nor superpowers. We should have joined forces to break some rules and create something that is most beneficial to ourselves. Advantages, but limited to rules, we will use our capabilities for internal fighting."
"It's useless to talk more." Han Xizhe said suddenly.
"Yes, we can only act like this. But Mr. Han Xizhe is afraid that there is more than this?"
"You are fully prepared." Han Xizhe stared at Watanabe Yuanzi, "We have lost all chance."
"Indeed." Watanabe Fuchiko nodded, "You should have known this for a long time."
"What was left behind?" Han Xizhe asked, "As far as I know, Watanabe Yuanzi never owed anything."
"The clues you want to get. Level 5 tourists can already see the information of level 4 tourists. Even if that person is protected by information to a certain extent, with my ability, it will take too long to get past this shelter. It won't be long. I'm also curious... what's going on with the person behind the scenes."
Han Xizhe stared at her for more than ten seconds before sitting back in his seat.
"What to do," he said.
"You just need to do it before Rennix dies..."

The sky gradually became darker, which was a sign that night was coming. Dinner is going on in the supervisor's room, but the atmosphere is quite depressed. The unsuccessful assassination last night basically broke the peace here. The children of the Howard family are even more vigilant towards everyone around them. All meals are carefully inspected by Juno Ito before being eaten by everyone.
Although the rest of the people didn't think anyone would poison, the atmosphere also affected them. Everyone was cautious when eating, which made the chef Pan Shen feel offended.
Escher brought the meal upstairs, and several special guests did not dine in the hall. The servants' footsteps stepped across the carpet, leaving imprints. Slightly yellow light shines throughout the main hall, every day, every year.
The daily trajectory has left traces on this island, and the rough carving every day has finally formed the result like a drop of water penetrating a stone. They are engraved in the island's huge magic pool, as if they can never be shaken.
However, this is just a phantom, Lista's phantom, Rennix's fantasy, Elena's pursuit, the solid rock formed by the Howard family's inheritance to this day - now it is about to be broken.
"All magic points are in place, destruction in all directions——"
In the room, Watanabe Fuchiko was leaning on a chair, holding her chin in one hand, looking sideways out of the window, and a slight smile on her lips.
"--start."
