Section 31 Causes of Death and Human Hearts I.
Although he recognized the origin of this mirror, Duran did not dare to touch this magic mirror easily. The discovery of such an object in Brad's room means that the circus master may have been privately connected to the evil gods.
"It looks like the person who has bound them in the vanity mirror is Di Gao Geng, this evil spirit lord has always been known for his penchant for playing with people's hearts, could it be that he killed them and then erased their memories for fun?" Duran carefully pulled a fairly clean strip of cloth from the side, wrapped the bronze mirror firmly in it, and then let out a long breath.
The majesty of the Evil Spirit Lord is not something that the current Duran can face, if he looks at the mirror for even a second, Di Gao Geng will sense his presence, and it should not be a problem for the former to cross the plane and catch him on the hypocritical side.
However, the matter has not yet come to light, even if Di Gaogeng is involved in this matter, he should only play the role of the mastermind behind the scenes. The Evil Lord is also quite assertive in the upper world, and scholars have studied his surname, and he is generally not easy to do, and likes to trap people through intrigue - or let others kill each other, which gives him great pleasure.
And the existence of this small handful of frost flowers also proves from the side that the cause of death of the five people should not be directly related to the evil god, Duran remembered that on the Fernan continent, the frost flower is equivalent to arsenic on the earth and is highly toxic to humans, but unlike arsenic, the powder of this flower is colorless and tasteless, and there is no abnormality at all when mixed with wine.
Thankfully, over the course of its long history, the plant seems to have been unable to adapt to climate or environmental changes, and has become almost completely extinct on the continent. And in the first and second periods, there are probably some left.
Brad's discovery of Frost Flower and Hexagonal Mirror in his bedroom makes Duran suspicious of him, but if it was his killer, it doesn't explain why he and Jenny died tragically and ended up trapped in the vanity mirror.
Could it all be a scam? Di Gao Geng made Brad kill the other three, and then killed Brad as well?
It's not impossible. Duran thought as he quickly rummaged through Brad's living room, finding that most of the things were of little value except for the previous two. So he quietly left the place with the mirror and the frost flower in his arms.
Next is Jenny's room, where Duran finds nothing but a whole bunch of clothes of various styles. The same is true of Cassel and Renee's room, which can be described as destitute, with only a few changes of clothes left except for basic furniture, which shows that the acrobat's income is indeed a little meager.
Duran once again consumed a one-time master key and walked into the room of the animal trainer Amiya. The style of this hot girl's room is exactly the same as herself, and the exaggerated outfit makes Duran think that he has stepped into a well-groomed stage. However, not used in the first few rooms, where he found many unexpected things. For example, a small bouquet of frost flowers under the bed, and-
A yellowed envelope containing a pair of beautifully written love letters.
Duran put the love letter under the candle and read it carefully, with a playful look on his face. He couldn't help but think of what Cassel had said to himself earlier - "Amiya seems to like him a lot...... though"
I see. After reading the love letter, Duran gently stuffed the letter back into the envelope. The person who signed this love letter was not surprisingly Sonny, this guy is really unseemly, and he actually fell in love with a female animal trainer, thinking of this, Duran had to stop some evil thoughts that couldn't help but pop up in his mind, and began to think seriously about the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Both Brad and Amiya have found Frost Flowers in their bedrooms, which means that both of them have the possibility of poisoning someone else with Frost Flowers. As for who it was, Duran already had a rough outline in his mind. He left Amiya's bedroom with Frost Flower and Love Letters, and then ran to the kitchen for a stroll. As he had expected, the kitchen and dining tables outside looked like a group of people had just had a dinner party, with a few bottles of vintage wine uncorked and half a bottle drained to the floor. In front of each position is a wine glass with some reddish wine in a dark or light place.
Duran shrugged his shoulders, took the candle and left without saying a word.
By this time he had fully understood what had happened, the cause of death of the five people was clear, and all that remained was to complete the matter and tell the five poor undead who had lost their memories.
As for Sonny the Clown...... Duran touched his nose, this guy definitely can't stay. Duran was ninety percent sure that this guy was one of Di Gaogeng's evil spirit messengers, and maybe the death of the five had a lot to do with him.
Thinking of this, the corners of Duran's mouth couldn't help but outline a sneer, just this guy's clumsy acting skills, he still wants to lie to me?
Duran returned to the dressing room, and at this time Sonny the Clown was waiting there with an anxious face, and when he saw Duran, he immediately greeted him and whispered, "I have already built the space-time gate for you, you can go quickly, leave this place quickly." ”
Duran laughed and generously opened the curtain on the other five undead, while casually saying to Sonny, "Let me guess, what's behind the space-time gate?" Plague Plains or Triangle Wetlands? Di Gaogeng is waiting for me there, isn't he? ”
The Plague Plains and the Triangular Wetlands are both famous territories belonging to Di Gao Geng in the lower planes, and they are notorious places of terror among the humans and even the dragonmen of the Feinan Continent.
Hearing Duran's words to see through his plan, the muscles on the Joker's ridiculous face shook unnaturally: "You, what are you talking about?" I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
"Guys, please come out, I've figured out the cause of death for all of you." Duran invited and sneered at the clown, "Sonny, how could you not understand?" Although your sleeves are pulled low, they still can't hide the hexagonal demon mark on your wrist - this lower plane, this is the only sign of Di Gao Geng. As Di Gaogeng's evil spirit messenger, you probably can't wait to make a contribution in front of him, right? It's not easy to meet a living person in this hellish place, of course, you can choose to forcibly take them captive, but this is not in line with Di Gaogeng's style. That guy is a fan of intrigue and calculation, so you want me to take the initiative to escape into the Plague Plains, so that you will be appreciated by Di Gaogeng. ”
"I don't know if I'm right?" Duran asked.
The clown's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't say a word. The resentful spirits of the other five had already come out of the mirror, and in the face of the conversation between Duran and the Joker, all five of them showed thoughtful expressions.
"It seems that you are indeed well-informed, and you know so much about Lord Di Gaogeng." Brad said slowly, the five of them were also trapped here by Di Gao Geng and couldn't leave, so they naturally knew about the existence of the evil spirit lord.
Duran complained in his heart: The three major forces that players fight against in "Tales of the Night" are the Dragonman Empire Ruha, the Mother of Other on the Othur Plane, and the Evil Spirit Lord of the Lower Plane. Of the three, the Evil Spirit Lords are the easiest to deal with, and they are also the targets of the rich robbery. Duran would inevitably take a few more glances when he checked the information, although he didn't know all about the lords of the lower planes, but it wasn't much worse.
"Not only that, but I've also found the cause of your death." Duran sat on a comfortable recliner and blinked: "To be honest, you probably think that it was Di Gaogeng who killed you, right?" ”
The five of them were all stunned, and judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they were told by Duran. But it's no wonder that anyone who suddenly regains consciousness and finds themselves undead, with their memories of death erased and trapped in a strange vanity mirror by an Evil Spirit Lord, will surely be suspicious of this Evil Spirit Lord.
Looking at the reactions of the five people, Duran sighed: "The mastermind behind the scenes is indeed this notorious evil spirit lord, but it is you who really kill you." ”
"Nonsense!" The irascible Cassel roared, "How can we be killed by ourselves? ”
Duran pointed to his heart with his right hand: "What really killed you is the treacherous human heart. ”
"Everyone has a dark side in their hearts, and what Di Gaogeng is best at is playing with people's hearts, that is, playing with your dark side. He mobilizes this part of the emotion, and you will continue to fall......"
The source of all this lies in Sonny's death. This guy's death led to a series of things that followed, of course, he was also an unlucky ghost, who would have known that the magic props that performed the severed head would break? Captain Brad, you should be a little sorry for that, right? Of course, that's just a few. But someone will definitely be unwilling, she may feel that this is not as simple as an accident. ”
"Miss Amiya, am I right? You, who are an underground couple with Sonny, must have been filled with anger and suspicion after learning of his death, and you suspect that Brad and Cassel teamed up to kill Sonny, right? ”
Duran's eyes fell on Miss Beast Tamer and asked word by word.
