Chapter 306: The Truth?

Lin Fei sat opposite Mr. House, Mr. House immediately restrained his strange emotions, looked at Lin Fei, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Vincent." Is there something wrong with me? ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "What? Can't I look for you if I don't have something? ”

"I've been a little busy in the last two days, so there's nothing important, and Mr. Vincent had better not look for me!" Mr. House spoke aloud, and there was a hint of rejection in his words.

Mr. House's strange behavior made Xu Fei feel that he was probably the same as himself, and he noticed that what had happened in the past three days was strange.

Lin Fei took a sip of ale, did not leave, and said without a trace: "Mr. House, why are you so worried today?" ”

Mr. House's eyes narrowed, staring at Lin Fei coldly, revealing a dangerous aura all over his body, and sneered: "Mr. Vincent, what are you talking about?" Why don't I understand? ”

"Don't understand?" Lin Fei chuckled, stretched out his hand and drew a few circles on the table without a trace, then knocked three times, and sighed: "Mr. House is really different from us, we are all worried about whether that killer will kill again, and Mr. House is not worried at all, it seems that I am wrong." ”

Mr. House's originally cold expression melted, and he smiled: "So you mean this, I am indeed a little worried, after all, a murderer is on the ship, how can I not be worried?" ”

"So, I'm not mistaken?"

"You read that right!" Mr. House smiled and said, "Mr. Vincent, do you think that there will be people dying on this ship in the future?" ”

"I don't know about this!"

Mr. House's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything about the murder.

Mr. House and Lin Fei each ordered another glass of ale and drank it bitterly, Andre and Tina were a little confused, how could the two of them, who were originally quite tense, suddenly change?

However, except for Andre and Tina, no one else pays attention to the two, and now everyone is preoccupied, where will they care about what others are saying.

And the two are medium-sized guests, so it's not surprising that they know each other, after all, they are all on the same boat now, and it is reasonable for people with similar identities to communicate.

Lin Fei has been testing Mr. House since he sat down, although he said inconsequential words, but in fact he was communicating with Mr. House with gestures, and he only wrote two words, hypnosis. Mr. House changed his attitude towards him, and it was evident that he knew about being hypnotized.

However, Mr. House didn't trust Lin Fei so easily, and the reason why he showed intimacy was to see if this Mr. "Vincent" was the mastermind behind the scenes, so he asked Lin Fei if he knew if there would be dead people on this ship, and Lin Fei's answer was that he didn't know.

His pocket watch is an extraordinary item that can perceive lies, and he knew from Lin Fei's answer that Lin Fei was not lying, so he understood that this "Mr. Vincent" was most likely not the mastermind behind it, but he was very curious about how he learned that he was hypnotized.

In fact, he knew that he was hypnotized by accident, although he had a devout faith, but this faith was not enough to get him out of hypnosis, and the reason why it was like this was because of one thing.

At about eleven o'clock on the first night, Captain Fanster had asked him to investigate the murder, and he asked three questions to a man, that is, those who found the scene, through their pocket watches, perceived that although he was conclusive, and everyone agreed with what he said, what he said was false.

At first, he was just a little strange, and he didn't think much about it, just as everyone colluded. But when it came to him, he found the clue.

Because the first homicide was also related to him, he was with Mr. Feeney that night, so he was free from suspicion.

The next day, he used his pocket watch to ask Lin Fei three questions.

After the second murder of the night, the ugly young man named Contai was imprisoned, and because he had made wild claims that the four knights would die, he was asked by Lord Finney to determine whether he was a transcendent or not.

After the wee hours of the morning, he used magic and did not find the breath of the transcendent in him, so he decided that this was not the transcendent, and just as he was about to leave, Contai asked him where he was on the first night.

He replied that he was with Master Feeney.

On this question, he was stunned, because the pocket watch told him that he was lying. Contacting the first night's question, he keenly discovered the problem, and left the cell without bothering to say anything to Master Feeney, so he locked himself in the room and asked himself two questions.

These two questions made him understand that his memories of these few nights were false. He was a mid-level magician, blessed with the temple crest, but even then he was unknowingly hypnotized, which made him very frightened.

That night, he summoned the messenger owl and told the temple what had happened here, but the messenger had just flown away from the ship and cut off the magical connection with him, and the owl's magical mark disappeared, indicating that the owl was dead.

He was a little panicked when he had always been calm, so he took advantage of the darkness to leave the big ship in a small boat, not that he was retreating, but that what happened on this ship was beyond his ability, and he had to report it to the temple.

He left the big boat in a small boat and got into the fog, but after rowing for a long time he did not find the shore, when he saw the hazy light in the fog in the distance, he was very excited, and rowed hard, but when he got closer, he found that it was the big boat he had left from.

Tossed for most of the night, he didn't leave the range of the big ship, and finally could only get on the boat.

After Lin Fei left, Mr. House returned to the room and closed the door. At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door, and Mr. House opened the door, and when he saw Lin Fei coming, a smile appeared on his face.

As soon as Lin Fei came in, Mr. House reached out and took out a coat of arms from his arms, which was stimulated by divine magic, and a ripple rippled out, enveloping him and Lin Fei in it.

"Mr. Vincent, we can talk in peace now."

Lin Fei knew that this was the temple's magic technique of shielding perception, so he relaxed and asked, "Mr. House, how did you find out that you were hypnotized?" ”

Mr. House sighed softly and told him about his pocket watch and what had happened to him in the past few days.

Lin Fei was a little shocked when he heard this, and was silent for a moment and said: "I am not the same as my husband, I was hypnotized two nights ago and didn't find out, the third night I was meditating, and I found that I fell into a nightmare when I was meditating, and I struggled hard to wake up, and saw the scene after others were hypnotized from the perspective of a bystander." ”

Lin Fei told the scene when the first mate and the crew were hypnotized, of course, the strange situation of the crew was really described, not only that, but also said his own temptation at that time and the conclusion that memory can be added.

"Mr. House, you are a member of the temple and have seen a lot, do you know what abilities or creatures possess such strange abilities?"

Mr. House frowned, pondering, and suddenly his face became extremely ugly, and said, "Yes, there is a legendary creature called the 'Abyssal Feathered Serpent', this monster is a high-level monster that feeds on the emotions of intelligent beings. It is rumored that this kind of monster likes to be in the desert and the ocean, creating illusions, attracting passing people or ships, and the illusions they create are enough to confuse the real, often making passers-by lose their way and fall into it, legend has it that if they fall into the illusion of this monster, no one can come out, and they often die knowing that they are dead. Although it is a high-level monster, even a super-level powerhouse does not want to be an enemy of it, because this kind of monster can hardly be killed. ”

"Abyssal Feathered Serpent!" Lin Fei had a headache. A high-level monster, and it also has this weird ability, and wants to deal with it, but you don't even know where the other party is, how to deal with it? Lin Fei remembered the sight he felt when he first got on the boat, and there was a chill in his heart.

"Almost impossible to kill. Is there really no way? Lin Fei asked again.

Mr. House smiled bitterly, "No, at least our strength is impossible to escape." And those who have the strength to break through the illusion may not know that we are trapped. ”

"That's not right!" Lin Fei suddenly thought of something and said, "Mr. House, don't you think it's strange? ”

"Strange?" Mr. House frowned and looked at Lin Fei suspiciously.

Lin Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Then why is the 'Abyss Feathered Serpent' in this Lena River?" This Lena River runs through the Three Kingdoms, it is an important transportation artery of the Three Kingdoms, the three major temples all take this river very seriously, and will definitely not let this high-level monster survive in this river, high-level monsters have wisdom, will it not understand the danger of this Lena River to it? Although it is difficult to kill, there are definitely strong people in the three major temples who can kill it, so why did it risk its life to come to this Lena River? ”

"You're saying it serves another purpose?" Mr. House was stunned.

"Not bad. If you want to find food to eat, it is not better to go to the sea to confuse the ocean-going ships, why go to the inland rivers for a little food? Lin Fei said: "It must have a plan." ”

"What scheme?"

"I don't know." Lin Fei's eyes narrowed and said, "But I don't know, but I think someone should know." ”

Mr. House was not stupid, and then he thought of something, and exclaimed, "You mean Conte?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Fei said: "Now it seems that the murders on this ship were all committed by this high-level monster, since it was done by a monster, then how did this Kangtai know in advance that someone would die?" ”

"Is he in collusion with this Abyssal Feathered Serpent?"

"Well, obviously. Otherwise, how would he know that someone was going to die? Lin Fei said: "Now it seems that there is a great possibility that he has controlled this Abyssal Feathered Serpent, and this Abyssal Feathered Serpent will act according to his instructions, so he will have the courage to say that if he dies, most of the people on the entire ship will die." ”

"Makes sense." Mr. House frowned, "So what is his purpose?" ”

"I don't know, but his plan is the plan of this abyssal feathered serpent. We're desperate now, and we can only go to him for a showdown. Lin Fei said.

"Now it seems that this is the only way." Mr. House nodded, "I'll go talk to Master Feeney about visiting the prison, and you can wait here for a moment." ”

Lin Fei nodded.

Looking at the back of Mr. House's departure, Lin Fei was stunned, and suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something. Shaking his head, Lin Fei felt that he was too worried.

"Poor Andrey. He also said that he would run away at night, but now it seems that there is no way to leave. Lin Fei suddenly thought: "Yes, such a terrible thing has happened, why doesn't anyone want to leave by boat?" Could it be that this monster can even erase the thought of others leaving? ”

Thinking about it like this, Lin Fei felt even more chilled, and he wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible, and then leave this strange big ship.

A short time later, Mr. House returned, and said, "Mistress Feeney has given us permission to visit Contai. ”

Lin Fei and Mr. House walked towards the storage room, which was a makeshift cell, guarded by two of Lord Feeney's knights during the day, and they received orders from Master Feeney to see Mr. House coming with a young man, and immediately opened the cell door and let the two of them in.

This storage room is very clean, there is a toilet, there is a bedding, there is no peculiar smell, which makes Lin Fei a little strange, is it possible that this Kang Tai is not very comprehensible?

Kang Tai sat on the futon, his head bowed, and when he saw the two of them walking in, he raised his head, revealing small eyes and a grim face.

He glanced at Mr. House, and then set his gaze on Lin Fei's body, which was a little fiery, making Lin Fei feel a little uncomfortable.

Mr. House glanced at Lin Fei and asked, "Mr. Vincent, will you ask or will I ask?" ”

Lin Fei thought for a while and said, "Let's do it with me!" ”

Mr. House nodded, and without further ado, stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Lin Fei looked at Kang Tai, sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at Kang Tai at eye level, and said, "We already know about being hypnotized." ”

Kang Tai just looked at Lin Fei directly, the expression on his face was still gloomy, without any waves, it seemed that this secret was told, and he didn't care at all.

Lin Fei frowned: "I already know who the person behind the scenes is!" What is your purpose? ”

Hearing Lin Fei's question, Kang Tai's originally fiery gaze gradually became cold, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"You don't say it's because you have no fear?" Lin Fei said: "Since everything is already under your control, why don't you say it?" Are you still afraid that our ability will ruin your good deeds? ”

Lin Fei knew that this kind of person couldn't be treated with common sense, and could only have a direct showdown, hoping that the other party would tell some secrets.

Kang Tai was still silent.

Seeing that Lin Fei's inquiry had no effect, Mr. House said coldly, "Kangtai, do you think I don't know what your purpose is?" Hand over the 'Horn of Awe'! ”。

"Horn of awe? What's that? Lin Fei suddenly understood at this time that this Mr. House still had some secrets that he hadn't told him.

Glancing at Lin Fei, Mr. House said with a gloomy face: "Three days ago, the Temple of Wisdom in Dante City was attacked and three holy relics were lost, one of which is called 'Horn of Awe', this holy relic has great power, it can drive water attribute demonic beasts below the super level, this abyssal feathered serpent is also a high-level demonic beast of water attribute, even if he is an extraordinary person, how can he make a high-level demonic beast obey him?" It is clear that this person is the one who attacked the temple, if not the person who attacked the temple. ”
