024 I've seen this routine

Marsha and the others were taken to the main hall building.

Originally influenced by the name, Marsha thought that he would see some more ancient buildings, but it turned out to be an extremely modern building with more than 70 floors.

Moreover, the design of this building is much more sci-fi than the famous buildings on Earth that Marsha knows.

- Well, if you think about it, the world is so magically advanced, it shouldn't be strange that there are any strange buildings.

- After all, someone might be able to make a building grow out of the ground with a single magic.

The next link consumed far more time than Ma Sha expected - he thought that he would be able to leave after coming in and going through a program in dozens of minutes.

However, Masha stayed directly in the VIP reception room for several hours.

"This should be this way to protect us people, something big must have happened outside, I'm afraid that we, the young ladies and young masters, will be drawn into the battle between the archmages." Du Meilan, who was also staying in the VIP room, analyzed.

Li Cheng, who was sitting opposite the two of Ma Shaxiao, nodded: "I guess so, my family's strongest combat force is my elder brother, and now he will definitely not be able to move in the post of commanding the envoy battalion, I really didn't stay in this main hall when I went home." ”

Du Meilan asked suspiciously, "Lord Li's mansion should have a lot of defensive magic and enchantments, right?" ”

Li Cheng smiled: "Yes, yes, where can it be compared to here." ”

Liang Yifan lay down on a sofa by himself, crossed Erlang's legs, and took Li Cheng's words: "The design standard of this main hall is a complete military standard, once our Dahua Empire and the Amirica Federation start a full-scale war, this place will directly become a fortress, echoing with the camp of the commander of the Haizhou Metropolitan Commander outside the city, as the center of the large enchantment, resisting the strategic magic of Amilica." ”

- Amilija? This pronunciation is a little familiar, could it be the space-time isotope of that country?

- But I've seen the map, the terrain of this world is completely different from the earth, and Amirija can still be formed?

Masha listened quietly to the conversation.

Liang Yifan turned over and sat up and shouted: "It's so boring!" ”

Then he took out his phone and pulled out a deck of playing cardsβ€”presumably poker cards, and Masha wasn't sure.

"Let's play a few rounds!" Liang Yifan said, looking at Ma Sha with both eyes.

Marsha glanced at Du Meilan.

Du Meilan immediately responded telepathically: "You don't remember the rules? Okay, I'll tell you, it's simple. ”

- It means that you can go over and play.

Ma Sha moved his seat, facing Liang Yifan across the coffee table.

Liang Yifan looked at Li Cheng: "Is Li Shao coming?" ”

Li Cheng nodded: "It's okay, let's play a few games to fight scientists." ”

- Huh? Fighting, fighting scientists?

**

At this time, a real scientist was sitting in the interrogation room on the 20th floor above their floor in Marsha, watching the dinner offered by the witchers.

"Really just give me green vegetables and rice? Obviously, the food in the Dimensional Prison is very good. Ma Zili, this guy, I haven't seen a big bad conscience for a few years. ”

Lan Ping muttered, picked up a green vegetable with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, took a few bites, and spit it out again.

"Fry so old! How to eat the erection! ”

He sighed and began to use his chopsticks to toss the rice into his mouth one by one.

Just then, the door opened.

Chen Guangda came first, followed by Ma Zili, and finally the biggest official here: Lord Li, the governor of Haizhou.

Lan Ping looked at it with a strange expression: "Yo, Lord Li is here in person, I won't run away, why are you embarrassed to trouble Lord Li to come to guard alone?" ”

Master Li bowed his hand to Lan Ping: "Professor Lan said with a smile, I, Li, am not good at fighting, and specialize in the art of Gewu, if I want to fight with you, I'm afraid that I, Li, will not be of much use." ”

Lan Ping smiled and said, "Lord Li is humble", and suddenly the words changed, and his face changed: "So, did you catch it?" ”

Chen Guangda shook his head: "When we arrived, Lord Wang Yisheng of the Wang Governor's Mansion had already fled, and we detained everyone in his mansion, including his son Wang Dongsheng. ”

"I said a long time ago, you should have raided the laboratory I provided for you, and immediately started to arrest Wang Yisheng, regardless of the arrest warrant and search warrant, first cut it and then play. Now it's okay, the people are gone. ”

Ma Zili: "We've done it very secretly......"

"This shows that you have internal ghosts, it's obvious." Lan Ping spread his hands, "So, who is the target of magic?" ”

Ma Zili: "We didn't catch Wang Yisheng, so we don't know." ”

"Don't make a fuss, whoever dies suddenly and mysteriously is the target of magic. So, who died? ”

Chen Guangda frowned: "Professor Lan, we only found the body of the last sacrifice three hours ago, and your news is so fast." And...... How do you have a way to communicate with the outside world? ”

Lan Ping: "Do you still need to contact the outside world?" Just look at your expressions and you can guess that eight or nine are not far from ten. ”

Chen Guangda did not speak again.

Ma Zili turned his head to look at Lord Li, who cleared his throat: "This is the problem, theoretically, the magic should have been activated, but it has been three hours now, counting the time before we found the corpse, it may have been four hours." However, we have not confirmed the death of any adult who had the potential to use this level of magic to assassinate.

"In fact, in these three hours, not a single family member of the feudal lord died, nor did any high-ranking official or family member of the official die. Our initial suspicions are that the spell didn't work. ”

Lan Ping: "So there was a mistake in casting the spell?" ”

Master Li and Ma Zili glanced at each other.

Chen Guangda was silent beside him, and he looked clueless - there were no flaws at all.

Master Li spoke: "That, Professor Lan, as the saying goes, send the Buddha to the Western ......."

"Do you want us to intervene? Don't do that, the witchers are looking, where are you putting their faces? Lan Ping shook his head again and again, "Now they are only willing to give me vegetables and rice to eat, and then let them lose face, before I am sent to the dimensional prison, I am afraid that I can only drink water to fill my stomach." ”

Ma Zili: "But if we can't catch Wang Yisheng, our deal will be null and void." Damn, he came to my house in the morning, I didn't find out he was a bastard then! ”

Ma Zili suddenly became emotional as he spoke, and gave himself a big mouth.

"He went to your house? So how do you prove that you are not his accomplice? Lan Ping looked at Ma Zili with interest, "Ah, I understand, it's because of this that you are in a hurry to catch him." But none of this has anything to do with me, my mission is done. ”

"Is it really done?" Master Li asked with a sneer.

"Really." Lan Ping's face was sincere.

Master Li slapped the table, stood up and turned to leave.

Ma Hou Ye followed.

Chen Guangda didn't follow immediately, he looked thoughtfully at Lan Ping, who was playing with chopsticks, and only left the interrogation room quickly after a few seconds.

In the observation room next to the interrogation room, Master Li said to Ma Houye: "He must have some ghost plans, these Frankensteins, crazy and intelligent, must be planning something bad." ”

Ma Zili nodded.

Master Li continued: "Your son was assassinated today, this is also very strange, the assassin was killed, the psychic was fruitless, and the divination was completely ineffective. What happened to the Assassins' homes? ”

Master Li turned his head to look at Chen Guangda.

Chen Guangda immediately replied: "The house has been raided, and none of the assassins' blood relatives have been caught, and now we are counting the belongings and intelligence materials in their homes." ”

Master Li nodded: "I feel that there is a connection between this incident and the serial murder case." ”

"What can be the connection? Our magicians have repeatedly confirmed that the ritual is complete, and although we still have one dead person to find, it is not surprising that it may have been eaten by a swarm of rats underground. When they kill my son, not only will they not let the magic that is not activated activate, but they may even fail because they kill too much. ”

Magic is a sophisticated technique that requires a strict process of activation.

Spells that require tribute must provide just the right amount of tribute, either more or less.

Therefore, Ma Zili's remarks are just stating the facts, not excusing his own son - of course, people with ulterior motives will not think so, but now there are pragmatists who want to solve the most intractable crisis at present.

The magic that didn't work, as long as it wasn't fully confirmed that it had failed, would hang like a sword over everyone's heads, and this was not a good time for a deceitful factional struggle.

At this time, Chen Guangda suddenly said: "I have an idea, if the little marquis is really the key to the magic not being activated, the other party will definitely come to kill him again." We can set a trap. ”

"You want to use my son as bait?" Ma Zili was furious, "You can let me die and sacrifice my life for the country, but don't want to touch my son!" But ......"

Ma Zili took a deep breath, and without waiting for Master Li to speak to appease, he continued: "You are right. On the other hand, if no one comes to assassinate my son again, it proves that these are two isolated incidents. Moreover, for the enemy, they must be thinking of activating magic at all costs now, even if they know that this may be a trap, and that we may have a strong army, they will come and attack. ”

Master Li looked at Ma Zili's expression and nodded: "Lord Hou really understands the righteousness, this matter is over, and Li should truthfully report to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Chen Guangda put on a posture of strategist next to him: "I think it can be like this, I will directly release the former commander of Laifu, anyway, the basic procedures have been completed, although there are still suspicions, but I don't think he carried out the killing." In this way, he will stay by the side of the little marquis. ”

Ma Zili: "The injured and retired witcher?" Well, you can. ”

The corners of Chen Guangda's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"Then I'll arrange ...... now"

"I'm not busy," Master Li interrupted Chen Guangda's words, "It's too obvious to arrange to go home now, after all, and if the little marquis is really the key to the magic not activating, we should protect him for a while longer, at least until tomorrow morning." Maybe after tonight, we will find Wang Yisheng. ”

Chen Guangda nodded: "What you said is extremely true. So, it would be more logical for us to use the excuse that there might be a change tonight and leave behind all the witnesses who were brought to the main hall. ”

"Very good, arrange accommodation, don't treat the young masters and young ladies badly." Master Li waved his hand and clapped the board.

**

Masha shuddered.

- What's going on? Just now, my heart suddenly tightened, is this someone calculating me? Is this also the ability I get with two implants?

Masha would suspect that it was his passive skill when he encountered any trouble nowβ€”he was probably the first person in the history of the world to not go crazy with two implants, and it was normal to gain some unprecedented abilities.

He is not asking for trouble, because the game of "fighting scientists" that is now going on has once again proved that he has indeed obtained something different.

Masha could sense that something was wrong with the two opponents.

For example, "He chose to do it here, but he actually endured it", "He hesitated for a moment, he should have chosen to fight", like this.

It's a vague feeling that wants to be talked about, but Marsha has played with this feeling so far, and the winning rate is as high as 70%.

You must know that Masha is not a person who is good at playing poker, and this "fighting scientist" is a little different from the earth's fighting landlords.

So this has a 70% win rate, which shows that this feeling of wanting to talk about it is not a pure illusion.

In this game, Li Cheng has only two cards left.

Masha judged it to be a pair.

Li Cheng looked at Ma Sha with a smile: "Duck, come on!" ”

After a few rounds of cards, Li Cheng also followed Liang Yifan to use the nickname duck.

Masha looked at the twelve cards in his hand.

Smile slightly.

Li Cheng: "Here it is again, here it is again!" I'm not going to be deceived, you can still beat me with 12 cards? Come on, pour a cup of cappuccino for the little marquis. ”

Ma Sha is a little inexplicable, how could he suddenly run out of the stalk of the deceased anchor?

However, since Young Master Li Cheng and Young Master Li said so, Ma Sha decisively put the 12 cards in his hand on the table at one time.

"Wait a minute! You pick it up! Wave after wave of release! Li Dashao was anxious, and as he spoke, he leaned over to look at Ma Sha's cards, and then he didn't ask Ma Sha to pick it up again, but sighed, "You just deliberately tricked me into playing Wang Bang, right?" You tricked me. ”

Ma Sha smiled and watched Liang Yifan start to shuffle the cards, while thinking back to what he suddenly felt just now.

- I'm not going to get caught up in any conspiracy, am I?

At this time, someone entered the VIP room and announced to everyone: "Young masters, the situation is abnormal tonight, and it is not very safe, so I would like to ask you to stay in the main hall temporarily, and Lord Li will inform the parents, if there is anything needed, you can send a servant from the family to send it." ”

For a moment, the whole room was noisy, and it was obvious that several young masters and young ladies didn't want to stay here longer.

"But it's Lord Li's meaning, then there's no way."

Masha heard someone say that.

- Master Li's title is remembered as the governor of Haizhou, because Haizhou is an important province, so it is a senior official from the first rank, one level higher than the average governor.

- Tsk, now it seems that this official authority is really great.

Marsha glanced at Du Meilan, who raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me, can you share a room with my fiancΓ©?" ”

Li Cheng and Liang Yifan immediately smiled tacitly.

Marsha wasn't excited at all, because the routine felt a little familiar to him.

- She didn't benefit me at all yesterday.

- I'm sure I'm thinking of a sleep spell again today to make me sleep until tomorrow.

- That way, it doesn't seem like the sleep of my body is in conflict with the activity of my body on the Enterprise's side.

- I can think about what to do in the future on the Enterprise.
