Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 2061 Are you going to peel the skin?
Later, Mr. Lival also went out, and together with Mr. Asaxies, he carefully circled several hundred meters around the Rose Mansion, but in the end, he failed to find the Durand City Lord who suddenly lost his mind.

They returned without success, and their expressions became more dignified.

"It's too dark outside, and the road is not easy to walk, and we have no way of knowing where Durand ran to." Mr. Asaxiez sighed: "Even if he shouted loudly, he didn't respond."

"How could he suddenly be unable to pray?" Lival couldn't help frowning at this time.

He happened to be present at the moment when City Lord Durand lost his mind, so he witnessed this scene... But no one can give an answer to this matter.

Time passed quietly in secret.

suddenly.

"I... have no way to pray." I only heard a slight strangeness in Mr. Lival's voice.

Azaxies looked at it suddenly, and looked carefully, as if to determine whether Lival was normal at this time... If Lival couldn't bear the stimulation like Durand, this situation is really terrible!
"It may be because we were transferred to this place by unknown means." Although Lival looked ugly at this time, he was not abnormal.

In other words, he is successfully resisting the impact of not being able to pray with his strong endurance.

For a devout believer, or even a petitioner, the inability to pray is undoubtedly something that shakes the root of the spiritual world.

Once caught in self-doubt, it is easy to collapse the faith in people's hearts.

Mr. Asassis can understand this feeling very well... He took a deep breath, patted Lival's shoulder lightly and said: "That's right, you can't pray because we are in this weird situation relationship, and definitely not because there is something wrong with your nature. Only when you stabilize this kind of thinking, your belief will disappear easily."

At this time, Lival took a deep look at Mr. Asassis. He knew these things, and I am afraid that Mr. Asassis realized them himself.

Because he knew that Mr. Asassis was exactly the one who couldn't pray.

The same is true for the maid Ke Lili... This is the current situation of the master and servant in [Rose Mansion].

What he knew was also what the comatose Principal Rudick knew about the status quo.

It's just that this matter has been covered up all along.

For a long time, the headmaster of Ludick would spend a lot of wish power crystal cards in [Rose Mansion] in different ways from time to time.

Playing cards is like this, buying flowers is like this.

That's why the office of the headmaster of [Liberty City Academy] is like a garden of roses—in fact, headmaster Ludik doesn't know how to grow flowers at all.

But not like this... don't pretend to be a person who is obsessed with roses, and his behavior of buying roses from the Rose Mansion like this can easily arouse suspicion from others.

——Make everything a little more reasonable...at least logically, so that we can deceive people, Liwazi, white lies are sometimes necessary!

This is what Ludick once said to Lival.

Make some sense a little bit... at least logically.

Then it is logically reasonable to include the root cause of the inability to pray into this weirdness, so as to avoid the instantaneous impact of self-doubt on faith.

Leval has been with Ludick for many years, and it is easy to simulate Ludick's logical way.

When he tried to pray, and couldn't answer the prayer at the moment, and couldn't get a sliver of wish power, he was actually almost like Mr. Durand.

"I'm fine." Lival regained his composure at this time, and said slowly, and at the same time, looked at Boss Luo, Miss Maid and Nan Xiaonan.

……

"I... I can't pray anymore!" Nan Xiaonan hurriedly said at this time: "It's the same as you!"

Anyway, even her Destiny system is a fake made on the spot, so she might as well take the opportunity now to avoid some sudden situations in the future.

But Lival said coldly: "Just now, when I was chasing out to find City Lord Durand, you just came back... You seem to have said that the painting in the corridor disappeared... What do you mean? Why did you go there in a special way? Looking for this painting?"

Nan Xiaonan didn't go to see Boss Luo and Miss Maid at this time. It would be too stupid to do so at this time, and it would be more likely to arouse Leval's suspicion, so she had to carefully say: "A landscape painting in the corridor, I saw it during the day... According to my memory, the place outside the Qiangwei Mansion now seems to be very similar to the scenery in that landscape painting."

"You said...similar?" Leval frowned.

Mr. Asassis suddenly looked at it... He knew which landscape painting Nan Xiaonan was referring to.

"Yes, but I'm not sure, so I wanted to find it and compare it." Nan Xiaonan said helplessly, "But when I got there, there was only one mark left on the wall."

Lival said: "How could the painting disappear suddenly when it was hanging on the wall... Unless, someone deliberately took the painting away before you went."

"Who?" Nan Xiaonan asked directly.

Lival said indifferently: "It may be you, because you said that the painting disappeared, and you are suspected of hiding the painting on purpose."

"What did you say?" Nan Xiaonan couldn't help sneering.

Lival didn't care, but continued: "But it may also be me. At that time, Mr. Asassis and I closed the doors and windows separately, and didn't say that it could prove that I didn't take the landscape painting. The same..."

"Similarly, I am also suspected, and Ke Lili is also suspected." Asaxies took up Lival's speech, "Even you are too... because for us, when things happen, everyone is in a situation where we can't prove ourselves. status."

"This is going to be a big trouble." Nan Xiaonan shook her head.

At this time, she walked to Boss Luo and Miss Maid... Beside Mr. Assaxes, there were three of them even if he was himself.

Well, three VS three, don't worry!
"This kind of meaningless division of the formation has no effect on our current weird situation." Asaxies shook his head at this time, "The saints often say that only when the power is concentrated at one point can the most powerful attack be broken. Everyone, let us temporarily put aside our prejudices and get through this difficult time first."

Lival nodded slightly.

Boss Luo suddenly glanced at the maid quietly, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, as if he was asking: When did you often talk about so many things.

The maid returned a helpless look: No, I didn't say that.

"...Lival, you can ask me about the landscape painting. I probably know which landscape painting this lady is talking about. It was the work of my ancestor [Jacques Dac] in his twilight years, It has been kept in the mansion, and I have seen it countless times as a decoration, and now that I think about it, the world outside the mansion is indeed very much like the contents of a landscape painting." Mr. Asassis continued.

"Your ancestor?" Leval's expression changed slightly, "The father of the saint..."

It seemed difficult for him to organically connect the weirdness with the noble status of "Father of Saints".

"It is impossible for a painting to disappear by itself." Leval tapped his fingers on the table at this time, "Everyone, let's temporarily put aside the assumption that this landscape painting has the ability to disappear by itself... Let's assume that if it is not our hands If the painting is taken down, what else would cause a painting to disappear?"

"What's the situation?" Nan Xiaonan thought for a while, and soon thought of another possibility.

Boss Luo said at this time: "Mr. Leval means that besides us, there are... other people inside the mansion?"

"Assuming there are others." Leval nodded, "Continue."

Boss Luo said, "We stayed in the mansion during the day. When we checked in, we didn't see any other residents. Miss Ke Lili also said that there was no one else in the mansion except us."

"Really!" The maid Ke Lili said hurriedly at this moment: "Because of the weird incident, there are no residents in the mansion... If there are, how could there be no movement for a whole day."

Nan Xiaonan said: "It's hard to say. There are so many rooms in the mansion. When we choose the rooms, not every room is opened. If we want to hide someone, it is not impossible."

The maid suddenly panicked, and looked helplessly at her boss, Mr. Assassin.

"Before you, there were indeed no other residents. I can prove...if you are willing to believe my proof." Mr. Assassis said calmly at this time.

Boss Luo smiled slightly and said, "I believe that Mr. Asaxiez is a person who can't lie."

Lival said: "Then we can only assume that there is an undiscovered [resident] in the mansion, who quietly took away the landscape painting, and this [resident] is also related to the sudden change outside the mansion... ...Even Mr. Ludick's coma is related, and it is very likely that they are the culprits, or the insiders, who caused the level of the gods to drop in the mansion this time."

"How do you plan to find someone?" Mr. Asaxies thought for a while and said, "If we search separately, it is very likely that we will be defeated separately. If we act together, it may not be impossible to avoid it... Even, at this time, it It may have secretly left the mansion and went outside... and you and I have no way of knowing how big the outside is."

Mr. Lival sighed and said, "Over the years, the headmaster has supported a lot of willingness...Mr. Asassis, why don't some surveillance cameras be installed in the mansion."

Asaches suddenly looked embarrassed, he coughed twice, and said in a whisper: "The daily maintenance of the mansion is very expensive, and I have to pay the wages of the workers."

Boss Luo asked curiously, "Are there any other employees besides Miss Kerili?"

Azaxies said: "Yes, there are actually three employees, a chef, and two building attendants. It's just that after the mansion closed, I temporarily dismissed them... It's only a few days since the mansion reopened. I'm not going to call them back yet."

Boss Luo nodded, expressing his understanding, and seemed to have no intention of asking further.

At this time, Lival took a memo from the counter in the lobby and opened it, and wrote this on it in front of everyone.

next thing to do.

1. Find Mr. Durand.

2. Explore the outside world.

3. Look for the disappearing landscape paintings.

4. To detect the possible presence of another person.

5. Find a way out of here.

6. Take care of Mr. Ludick and the assistant of the Lord Durand (I don't know his name).

7. Supplement physical strength.

As it was written, Lival looked at everyone and said: "We can only wait until dawn to find Mr. Durand and explore the outside world... What can be done within the mansion is the third, fourth, sixth and seventh The most important thing... Let's investigate and see if there are still hiding in the dark corners."

It should be said that this Mr. Leval is worthy of being a secretary. He is very good at summarizing and organizing on the spot... Everyone has no opinion on Leval's current summary.

So soon, a decision was made.

At present, the people in the mansion are divided into groups again. One group stays to take care of Mr. Ludick and the male assistant whose name is not known, and the other group checks each room, looking for missing landscape paintings and possible [residents].

Luo·Reaper·Kindaichi·Conan·College student·Qiu likes the adventure mode, so he directly invited him to play.

Mr. Asassis agreed to join the operation, and Cleary stayed.

Lival was also automatically assigned to the action group.

In this way, it means that all three parties have given manpower.

"Let's go around the courtyard of the mansion first." Lival said directly: "All the doors and windows should be closed...it will be more efficient."

……

……

"I... I'll get you something to eat!" The maid Ke Lili stood up at this moment, "Boss Azaxie caught some fish in the afternoon, grilled some, and should have saved some , you can make some fish soup to drink."

Nan Xiaonan said: "No need, I still have unfinished bread to buy this afternoon, and it's not suitable for you to leave at this time, right?"

Ke Lili was startled, opened her mouth, and said hesitantly, "Miss Nan, what do you mean...?"

"It's not interesting." Nan Xiaonan shook her head and said, "It's just that we'd better not leave everyone's sight until the action team comes back. It will be safer. If you don't leave, we won't leave either. We're here Just keep an eye on these two who fell...Miss Kerili, do you think so?"

"Yes..." Ke Lili, the maid, could only helplessly sit down again.

Then the maid came back from a cabinet in the lobby and seemed to have taken something.

Nan Xiaonan and Kelili's eyes widened.

I saw You Ye put the tray in his hand on the coffee table... Looking at the things on the tray, Nan Xiaonan couldn't help swallowing and said, "You...Miss You Ye, what is this?"

Knives, candles, napkins, lighters, and even small bottles of high-altitude wine, as well as some weird things.

"I'm going to check Mr. Ludick's body well." The maid said with a smile.

Are you going to... peel the skin? ? ! !
