The rooftop garden was filled with ruins, and the traces of the explosion and fire were everywhere. Qi Leren took a deep breath of the smokey and damp air, then walked to the treasure chest left by the crazy ladys death, hesitated, and called Dr. Lu back: Co and open the box!
Dr. Lu ca running, panting. He tripped and almost fell on the bumpy ground along the way. Fortunately, Su He gave him a hand.
Do you really want to open it for you? Dr. Lu asked earnestly, his eyes shining and his face irrepressible.
Im sure, Qi Leren also said seriously. This was the ti to trust the European emperor, not to be cheap.
Er Su He, is there any law or taphysics in opening the box? Dr. Lu asked.
Generally speaking, most treasure chests contain strange disposable goods, a few have skill cards, and there are also pure card slots or attributes. So people even encounter random tasks. Theres almost no rules they follow. In fact, skill cards may not be good, but so props will have magical effects at critical monts. If youre lucky enough, you may open them and find legendary resurrection items, Su He smiled and said.
Qi Lerens heart hitched. He forced himself not to look at Su He. He didnt know whether Su He suddenly ntioned the resurrection items intentionally or unintentionally. He could only pretend to be natural enough
It should be a coincidence Su He ntioned a similar resurrection skill card a long ti ago. Now, it was just to explain the relationship between the box and luck. He was just feeling guilty!
Then Ill open it. If I open a binding skill card, you wont get your share, Dr. Lu reminded Qi Leren.
Qi Leren tried to calm down: Open it.
Dr. Lu put his finger on the lock, and the golden box opened.
Dr. Lu glanced at the skill card and said, This should be good, here.
[Demon Etiquette (Unbound Skill Card): For each use, one demon crystal must be used. If the demon crystals in your inventory are insufficient, the skill cannot be used. During the equipnt of this skill, the player will gain the appearance of a demon, in accordance with the type of consud demon crystal, but no demon talents will be obtained. The skill lasts for 3 hours and the cooling ti is 24 hours.]
This is
Qi Leren looked at the skill card in his hand. His intuition told him that this skill card was unusual, but he couldnt tell what was unusual. He looked at Su He for help: This card should be useful?
Su He took a look at the skill card and said a little unexpectedly: A very good skill. If there are tasks involving demons in the future, maybe you can pretend to be one of them, but you need demon crystals to do it
Su He didnt continue, but gave Qi Leren a aningful look, and the latter imdiately understood what he wanted to say: Right now he should stay away from the demon crystals, otherwise the seed of slaughter in him would soon get out of control.
It seems Im lucky, hey, Dr. Lu said triumphantly.
Su He looked at him with a smile and nodded appreciatively.
Lets go back and get dinner. Qi Leren reached out and tried to clap Dr. Lus shoulder. When he lifted his arm, however, this arm that he had rolled on to avoid the crazy lady was in terrible pain, having been severely bruised.
When Dr. Lu saw it, he quickly sought to treat him: Dont worry about the skill cooling ti now. Ill treat you first. Although its not perfect, its better than nothing.
The Doctors Orders skill was quite reliable. Qi Lerens bruises on his forehead, the cuts on his arms, and bruises all over his body quickly faded and scabbed over, but it could only reach this level. If he was now suffering from fatal injuries, this skill would be powerless, and would only serve to make him die more slowly at most.
The wounds healed and the pain eased. Qi Leren waved his arm happily and thanked him. Seeing that Su He was still studying the ashes left by the crazy lady after her death, he asked curiously, Is there anything wrong?
Theres nothing wrong, just a little strange. After Dr. Lu burned the Devils sacrifice before, the crazy lady didnt weaken, but beca stronger After thinking, Su He said, It probably caused her madness. At first, her body was hard and it was difficult to hurt her. After burning the sacrifice, her defense and speed dropped sharply. Reusing the ashes left by Luo Xueyi should further stimulate her strength. The attack power and attack ans were stronger. This state couldnt last long.
Qi Leren scratched his head. Although hed tried his best to avoid it just now, a few strands of hair were burnt by the fiery rain, giving off an odd sll: "Unfortunately, I didnt find Xiao Hongs half-body, otherwise we could have used it Why did you pull my arm?
Dr. Lu turned his eyes and pulled his arm to the side: You cant see well, get more vitamin A to enhance your night vision.
Looking in the direction of Dr. Lus finger, behind the bush illuminated by a flashlight, Xiao Hongs half-body was impressively hanging on a big tree, which was very eye-catching.
Qi Leren was silent.
Its too dark, and it was extrely tense. Its normal not to notice it, Su He calmly comforted Qi Leren.
Qi Leren continued to remain silent.
The three people burned the remaining half of Xiao Hongs body, and then left the rooftop garden. The ti left was running out, so they had to leave the castle quickly to finish the task.
When they went downstairs, Qi Leren asked, Whats the completion of our task now?
91%, Su He said.
Wow, we can get the lucky draw opportunity! More than 90% lets us randomly draw once! I like it! Dr. Lu got excited.
Theres still 9%. Wheres the difference? Qi Leren recalled the plot of the task and felt that they shouldnt be missing too much.
Dr. Lu hesitated: Well, now the story has been mostly explored. A long ti ago Sarah fell in love with Johann who was not of noble birth, and Johann married Sarah for so purpose maybe emotion or interest. Sarah found out that her maid Adeline was having an affair with Johann. She secretly killed Adeline and pretended that she had eaten food she was deathly allergic to. No one discovered it was a murder except Mrs. Sarahs family doctor Flajser. The ti fra of the above things is unclear, but theyre generally true. After that, Mrs. Sarah and Mr. Johann ca to China for business and built and lived in this castle. In order to avenge Adeline, Dr. Flajser also ca to China from Germany. In order to prevent Mrs. Sarahs genetic disease from being passed on to the next generation, Mr. Johann had been using the thod provided by Dr. Flajser to prevent contraception. He instructed his maid Nina to put rcury powder in Mrs. Sarahs diet. Later, when Nina found out about this. Nina was worried that she was poisoning Mrs. Sarah, so she reduced the dose without authorization. Later, Mrs. Sarah beca pregnant. Nina heard the conversation between Dr. Flajser and Mr. Johann, and found that they were going to continue to feed her rcury powder so that Mrs. Sarah would give birth to a deford fetus and allow it to be killed. Nina was afraid of Mrs Sarahs genetic disease and caused an accident. Mrs. Sarah fell down the stairs and miscarried. After the miscarriage, Mrs. Sarahs ntal state deteriorated sharply - this may have been Dr Flajsers doing - and she began to suspect that everything was caused by the dead Adelines demons, and the relationship between husband and wife began to break down. Then the Devil bewitched her in the mirror and taught her how to perform the sacrifice. Mrs. Sarah, who loved her husband deeply, sacrificed to the Devil to save his love. However, the sacrifice made her ntal illness more and more serious. Until finally, she sacrificed Nina and went completely crazy. Mrs. Sarah, under the control of the Devil, personally killed everyone and set fire to the castle, and the story ended.
It sounds like we havent missed any important clues. Qi Leren thought that the clues they had were very complete, yet there was still 9% missing.
Su He analyzed the two in an orderly way: This degree of completion ans that we have completed the main story, and the conclusion of the puzzle is correct, but so clues and evidence are missing. If we must study it deeply, there are three dark lines that we have not excavated. One is about Nina. Her behavior seems reasonable, but it seems strange when you look deeper into it. In order to avoid the genetic disease that would co from Mrs. Sarah giving birth, she chose to force her to miscarry. Didnt this cause Mrs. Sarah to go crazy? Her original words are also very interesting, I feel like I must have been persuaded by the Devil, so we dont know if she was influenced by the Devil like the crazy lady. Ninas attitude, which was seen in the phantom when she created the last Devil sacrifice, was also very subtle. She sympathized with the crazy lady and implied guilt, but vaguely, she was also jealous, which was not the emotions that a clever maid should have. At another point, Nina said that since she confessed to Mr. Johann that she had reduced the dosage of rcury powder, this matter was handed over to other maids, and she was also locked up, but after Mrs. Sarah miscarried, went mad, and was locked up in the basent, Nina was still responsible for delivering her food What did she do to make Johann trust her again?
Su He stroked the decoration on his walking stick, slowly dissecting the plot, and the details that were excavated by him made others feel uneasy. Qi Leren suddenly thought of a possibility. Nina had pushed the crazy lady down the stairs and caused her to miscarry. Was this really for her? Was it true that this wouldnt kill two people? Was Ninas original intention really to help the crazy lady? What exactly did she want to do?
The second one is Luo Xueyi. She suddenly appeared on the stairs with the hanging portrait, and died with half of Xiao Hongs body after setting on fire. Shes even more complicated than Nan Lu, and her behavior is full of taphors and mysteries. During the period from her disappearance to her self-immolation, we likely missed a lot of her story, which led to a decline in the degree of completion. Finally, there is Dr. Flajser. Dont forget, theres no evidence about Dr. Flajser. Its all based on subjective speculation. We must have missed so evidence that can testify against Dr. Flajser, such as the rcury powder or so hallucinogens left by him sowhere in this castle, and even more letters between him and Mr. Johann.
Qi Leren thought deeply. The clues about the first two would be hard to find, but there should still be hope of finding Dr. Flajsers things. Where could they find them? It shouldve been Johns study on the second floor, but he, Dr. Lu and Nan Lu searched the study before. There should be no more clues. Could they find them now? This was the outer world after the fire. Even if there were clues, they probably
Go away, you still want to make a 100% clearance? Dont waste your ti, just finish the task quickly. Dr. Lu grabbed Qi Leren who was still thinking and walked him down the stairs.
Wait a minute. The keys, give the keys for the second floor! Qi Leren suddenly rembered sothing and grabbed Dr. Lus shoulder. No, I dont need the key. Co with !
Ah? What are you doing? Dr. Lu, who was at a loss, was pulled by Qi Leren and ran to the second floor on the broken floor.
With the mory of the layout of rooms in the castle, Qi Leren quickly found the room he was looking for. At this mont, all he could think about was what Nina had said when they went to see her for the last ti:She sneaked over to the Masters study to give him a surprise Then she saw that the Master was looking sorrowfully at Adelines picture. I thought she would rush in and scream bloody murder at her husband, just like before, but she didnt.
The door opened.
In the old and dilapidated study, facing the door was the sofa where Nan Lu once sat, and a picture hanging on the wall behind the sofa. The room was not badly burned, and Johann, the handso man in the portrait, was still faintly visible.
Qi Leren strode in. This was the only place that could have been seen by the crazy lady standing at the door.
He carefully took off the picture fra and turned it over. Sure enough, there was a photo behind the fra.
Qi Lerens heartbeat suddenly quickened. He vaguely realized that he should have found an important clue. He took a deep breath and took this photo down, turning it over to the front.
There was only one person in the photo, who looked like a young girl dressed as a maid, smiling at the cara.
Is that Adeline? Dr. Lu as he looked at the photo.
Qi Leren suddenly understood.
She has another na. Qi Leren closed his eyes and recalled that girl who solemnly went to the altar of the Devil of Fraud in the cold underground palace.
Her na is Isabel, an excellent witch.
Adeline, the smiling maid in the photo, overlapped with Isabel, the winner of the Witchcraft Sacrifice.
This was a story about love, deception, jealousy, and madness. Everyone in the story was lost in their own desires and sins. Whether it was Johann who was fascinated by her, Sarah who was jealous of her, Nina who was incited by her, or Flajser who avenged her, she played with them like marionettes.
In just the blink of an eye, Isabel, the witch who served the Devil of Fraud, had beco a witch who was good at playing with peoples hearts.
