Chapter 87: Seven Killing Stones (8)
After more than an hour of riding their mounts through the map of Sinapus in a miasma fog, Li Mengxi and Hinata finally broke through the difficulty before the effects of the special antidote were almost exhausted.
In front of the two of them suddenly appeared a thick piece of land with sunlight and green grass, and in the center sat a hut that looked like an Orion's house.
This place is like an oasis in the middle of a vast desert, and because it is a paradise in the very center of hell, it is infinitely close to heaven.
On this land, Li Mengxi restrained the big lizard that was sitting down. He first jumped off the ground himself, and then helped Hinata down as well. Then the two of them slowly walked to the door of the hut.
"Looks like this should be it. Li Mengxi said and carefully observed the situation. There is a small yard with a few chickens on the left side of the house, and a small patch of freshly sprouted vegetables not far away, and the signs of someone living here are obvious.
"That's what it's marked. Hinata said as she took out her map. This was given to her by Li Mengxi after leaving the city, but she was more convenient to check the map by just sitting on the lizard and not needing to control it.
Now that the place has been confirmed, Li Mengxi took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.
"Knock! knock!"
"Is Mr. Temon Röntgen here?"
"Who are you?" said a deep male voice, not from the room, but from the left hand side of the two.
Hearing this, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain naturally cast their eyes. They saw a tall white man.
So, the two turned around at the same time, and then Li Mengxi took two steps forward and asked, "Is it Mr. Tymon Röntgen?"
The strong man looked at the two of them further with wary eyes, and then said as he slowly approached, "That's right. Who are you?"
"My name is Li Mengxi, and this is my partner, Nain Hinata. ”
"Hello. We are a team without affiliation. ”
"That's right. Timon Roentgen paused in front of the two of them, "What are you doing?" ”
"Although we are not members of the guild, the president of the Hatsuba Morning Post is investigating some things. Li Mengxi replied, "I'm here to ask you about the 'Seven Killing Stones'. ”
In an instant, Temon Röntgen's expression changed rapidly, first in horror, then in anger.
"Shut up!" he roared, and he stepped forward again, very aggressively. Li Mengxi and the others naturally didn't dare to stop him.
"We know it's a sad memory for you, but it's really a must for our investigation, please help us!" Hinata begged as she gave way.
"I'm not going to say anything! You shouldn't have anything to do with it! it should be taboo forever!" said Timon Röntgen, walking past the two to his door.
"Even if I say that the Seven Killing Stones have appeared in Chuye City, do you insist on not opening your mouth?"
In an instant, Tymon Röntgen stopped and turned in horror.
"How could it be! I had already thrown it into the swamp at that time! Is that really an immortal curse!"
"It's up to you to tell us. Li Mengxi stepped forward and looked at Temon Röntgen with a sharp gaze.
Later, the strong man let out a breath as if he had conceded defeat, and then turned around again.
"Come inside and talk about it. ”
Hearing this, Li Mengxi and Hinata Naine looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly ran towards the door that was open for the two of them.
"The door is open like that. As Naon Hinata, who was walking behind, was about to close the door panel, Tymon Röntgen, who was in front of the stove, spoke.
The two immediately understood what he meant. This hut is his own, and once the door is closed, everything inside can be at his mercy, and he is reassuring the two of them.
Therefore, Li Mengxi wanted to say this at this time: "No, Naiyin better close the door." ”
"Hmm. In the end, Hinata Nain listened to Li Mengxi's words and gently closed the door.
"I'm a murderer. Tymon Röntgen said, turning around with the teapot.
"But you're not going to kill anymore, are you?" Li Mengxi responded with a smile.
Seeing this, Tymon Röntgen smiled as well.
"You may be seated. At the owner's suggestion, the three of them sat around the small square table.
"First tell me what really happened. Then I will tell you what you want to know. As he poured tea for the two of them, Tymon Röntgen said.
"Of course. The words were closed, and Li Mengxi called up the video of the "murder incident in the city" and released it publicly. While releasing it, he also told about the "murder in the city".
Tymon Röntgen watched the image in silence, and when it came to the final scene, he couldn't help but close his eyes. So, Li Mengxi also pressed the pause.
"Is this true?" asked Tymon Roentgen, who was silent for a moment.
"Five days ago, there were three witnesses, and the identity of the victim has been confirmed by acquaintances. ”
"Where's the tombstone?"
"Neither side has been confirmed, because ......"
"That's the last hope, the hope of living...... Even if it has been determined that the incident is true, I still can't bear to confirm it, everyone is the same. Tymon Röntgen said sadly, "There is no need for you to be sure, and those who are struck by that light will not survive." ”
"Is that the skill of the Seven Killing Stones themselves?"
"Yes, the name is 'animal sacrifice', and the effect is simply to kill a person in defiance of all restrictions, killing with one hit, unable to defend or avoid, and the target will definitely die. ”
"How could it be!" said Hinata, looking horrified as if she had seen a one-sided massacre. "Why do you have this skill?"
"Because that's the price of using this prop. ”
"Sure enough, are the Seven Killing Stones a resurrection prop?" asked Li Mengxi.
"Resurrection? Actually, no one can vouch for that kind of thing, and those of us who fought for it in the first place just wishful thinking. Because, the effect of the Seven Killing Stones is only one sentence, 'If seven living beings are sacrificed, the gate of the Yellow Spring can be opened'. ”
Although it is subtle, it is indeed a sentence that hints at the resurrection.
Just as Li Mengxi was thinking, Hinata Nayin on the side shouted incredulously: "Seven people for one, this is also ......"
"It's not worth it?" Tymon Röntgen glared at Hinata.
Originally, she really wanted to say that, but she couldn't say it. Because she realized her own stupidity, human life could not be measured in this way, not to mention that in the eyes of those who had lost important people, it was likely that even the whole world together would not be as valuable as the lost person.
"Huh? It's not worth it. Timon Röntgen, who had stopped Nane Hinata from speaking, said this to himself rather self-deprecatingly.
There's nothing wrong with that, exchanging seven people for one resurrection item, and then paying more than fifty more victims for fighting for it. Who's to say it's worth it?
"This kind of thing should have been destroyed sooner rather than later!" said Hinata resentfully.
"If I could, I would have done it. However, the Seven Killing Stones are indestructible items, and even if they are discarded directly from the item library, they will not disappear, but will only materialize and wait for the next person to pick them up. That's why I threw it into the swamp! I didn't expect it...... Curse, it's an immortal curse!"
While Naine Hinata and Temon Röntgen were talking, Li Mengxi kept staring at the paused screen and thinking.
The Seven Killing Stone is a resurrection item that exchanges seven people for one person, and its additional skill "Animal Sacrifice" is a terrifying skill that will kill one person regardless of restrictions. So why, the person holding the Seven Killing Stones on the screen let go of the three people, including the videographer?
You don't have to kill, you don't want to kill, you can't kill?
"Mr. Röntgenium. Finally, Li Mengxi spoke, "Are there any restrictions on the sacrifice of the Seven Killing Stones?"
"Hmm. Hearing this, Tymon Röntgen nodded, "The skill of the Seven Killing Stones can be used by anyone, but the object of sacrifice is designated by the Seven Killing Stones. If you kill seven people, you can't activate the effect of Seven Killing Stones. Then the killing ritual will be reset and the holder will permanently lose his ownership. ”
"In other words, if you want the Seven Killing Stones to work as a resurrection item, you can't kill the wrong person. ”
"So to speak. ”
I see, no wonder I didn't kill those three. It seems that the current holder has a clear purpose for using it. This will at least give most players peace of mind, as there will be up to six more victims.
However, it's not enough to know this to resolve the incident, and it's best not to kill anyone else if you can.
"Mr. Röntgen, is there any pattern to the designated object of the Seven Killing Stones, or is it completely random?" So, Li Mengxi asked further.
"It's hard to say. In principle, the Seven Killing Stones are still randomly designated as sacrifices, but there are preferences in this. ”
"Preference?"
"Not bad. The first is the person who has a close connection around the holder or a close relationship in the past, and if the number of people is not enough, it will turn into someone who has held the Seven Killing Stones, and then it will be completely random. ”
When he heard the words "relational", Li Mengxi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Oh no! Nayin, we need to hurry back to Hatsuba City!"
After the words were closed, he hurriedly got up and rushed the door.
"Well, thank you for your help!" "Hinata Naine thanked the somewhat inexplicable Tymon Röntgen at a loss, and hurried out as well.
Outside the house, Li Mengxi had already ridden the big lizard over.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Come up and talk about it!" shouted, Li Mengxi stretched out his hand. Hinata Naon only responded by being pulled up and sat in his arms. Immediately, Li Mengxi urged the big lizard to run away.
"What the hell is going on!" shouted Hinata from her mount, which was gradually speeding up.
"Relational!"
"What happened to the relational?"
"Syd Bach!"
"The guy from yesterday?"
"Yes, yesterday we didn't know why the killers killed. But now I know! That guy is looking for an acquaintance! The victim and the killer are related, and Seysin Bach has a relationship with the killed, how likely do you think he knew the murderer?"
"Well, why didn't he say who it was?"
"Because, he's not sure! Although he knows that an acquaintance may have killed the victim, he can't be sure which one it is! Probably the killer himself knows this! In that case, the door of the hotel won't stop the murderer at all! That guy has many ways to trick Sayy Bach into opening the door!"
"That is to say......"
"Seyer Bach could be killed at any time!" shouted Li Mengxi called up the phone interface with one hand, and quickly dialed a number.
"Lauren Thomson!" he immediately shouted.
"Li Mengxi, how did the investigation ......?"
"Syd Bach!"
"What?"
"The victim's acquaintance! Send someone to him! That person may well be the next victim!"
"Really!"
"Hurry up and send someone!"
"I see!"
Immediately, Li Mengxi hung up the phone and focused on driving the mount.
The speed that the two of them couldn't match at all crossed the forest and swamp area, and all the monsters that stood in the way were killed by Li Mengxi mercilessly with a sword.
But just when the west gate of the "Black Bamboo Forest" was already close in front of him, a call made Li Mengxi suddenly deflated. He stopped shaking the reins, and the big lizard naturally slowed down.
"Yumekei, why didn't you run away?" asked Hinata tentatively with a bad premonition.
"Already, there's no need to worry. A gloomy reply rang out.
"Why, that's human life. ”
"Mr. Thomson just called. The room rented by Sey-Bach had become ownerless, with nothing but scattered props. ”
"That can't be said to be ......"
"To be on the safe side, he also sent someone to the cemetery, and the tombstone has been confirmed. ”
"How can this be!" Hinata covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief, although she had only met once in that form, she was also someone she had only met yesterday!
"Damn!" Li Mengxi also gritted his teeth.
