Blood of Mercury

There is no doubt.

The "inspector" sent by the Waste Development Agency to test Robert was definitely not normal.

He did not stand in the position of a fair and impartial inspector, but was hostile to Roland and his party from the beginning.

Roland stood with his back to the crowd, his eyes cold.

In the hands of the staff of the Waste Bureau, the sorcery of the old city can only be used to detect those suspected "faction hiders" - for example, people like Roland who have the characteristics of "sublime hypocrisy".

The sorcery of this virtual scenario can test their real alignment by their attitude towards a destroyed inn.

Now go back and think about the sorcery characteristics of the "Old City" -

Using a historically destroyed building as the casting material, the scene of a period before the destruction of the building will be repeated. If the crisis of destruction is not resolved before the "countdown" resets to zero, it will be destroyed along with the building as if it were in history.

In other words, the way to escape from fantasy is to "see through the hidden crisis" and "zealously solve it".

Roland used to think that with his years of experience, he could easily see through this illusion, but now Roland finally realized that it was impossible.

Just as you can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep, a puzzle without an answer can't be solved.

After the inspector used the magic circle of the Waste Bureau to release this sorcery on Roland and his party, he immediately distorted the "plot" of the hotel itself, so that Roland and the others saw a body of corpses as soon as they came in, without any of them. The "" of the message can be asked and provided.

The purpose of this inspector is to prevent Robert from remembering the history of the inn with the help of these hints, and take this opportunity to dispel the illusion.

After all, Robert had said that he often came to Iron Curtain. If he had read the news in the newspaper that the "Gargoyle Inn" had been destroyed for some reason while riding in the car one day, or happened to hear about it when he was chatting up, then the inspector had come up with a painstaking effort. The method of killing is over before it begins.

He—or rather, she initially targeted Robert, whom he thought was "informed". However, after Roland stated that he had seen similar witchcraft, the inspector panicked immediately.

In order to first make Roland into a panic, he immediately set up a series of targeted organs based on Roland's understanding of this witchcraft and "women's identity".

In Roland's guess. At first, this person should have aimed to make himself attracted by the sound of knocking on the door. The moment he walked behind the door, there was an interesting game of a black-clothed murderer who flashed by and his eyes were shot with plasma, which made Roland panic- —Better to be able to scream and fall to the ground paralyzed.

But he was clearly disrupted by Robert's "heroic act".

In fact, at the same time that Robert was blasted back by air blast, the chain of fear had lost its power.

Roland also realized at this time. This inspector has his own mind.

Because even if Robert was a spy sent by Titan, he was noble, and Baita couldn't kill him directly. Otherwise, with his flaws, the Waste Bureau would have killed him more than ten times.

It is precisely because of this that the Waste Bureau will come to monitor and detect the faction of the people that Robert has come into contact with.

under normal process. Roland and the others should have entered a hotel with no plot changes, and then found the "signs of disaster" inside the hotel without knowing anything about their own situation, and solved it, preventing the disaster from coming.

In this case, Roland and the others will naturally survive. And if they do not save or even fall into the trap, it means that they are by no means kind-hearted professionals.

And a non-good professional somehow bypassed the faction detection barrier at the city gate and sneaked into the White Tower, and also met Robert, a spy—if he is innocent of this person, it must be humiliating The IQ of the staff of the Waste Bureau.

However, the witchcraft of the old city is not allowed to be used to kill people. The Waste Bureau is not inferior to this method of killing people.

Anvilia's tyranny to the alcoholic chief is one thing and another. The Old City is also the core defense method of one of the three fortresses of the White Tower while conducting faction detection for those who are initially suspicious.

The only fortification in Baiyuan City is the large old city barrier that covers the whole city. And everyone knows that Baiyuan City has a large illusion enchantment with unknown effect that covers the whole city-in a sense, because of this illusion with unknown effect, it is more terrifying than in Iron Curtain City.

In fact, there are quite a few trinkets with Void Resistance effects, especially Bantha and Elkat. If any survivors reveal the news of the old city, to Elcatel's undead army, the southern fortress of the White Tower is as weak as a nightingale stripped naked and full of money, without the slightest resistance. ability.

Moreover, by means of the White Tower. Extracting memories from corpses is commonplace.

Even if the people who come here really have bad intentions, when the old city is used to destroy them in the void, it means that the information contained in the corpse can no longer be extracted.

At the same time, An Ruosi, who was closer to Roland, was also a disciple of the Starcaller. in his capacity. Even if they are investigated, they will definitely be placed under house arrest and then openly investigated, rather than being inexplicably locked in the "old city" where the plot has been tampered with.

Connect these clues, and the truth will be revealed—

This is just a trainee wizard who has just graduated and joined the Waste Bureau. He wants to use this little-known killer to avenge Robert and An Ruosi.

Roland and the three of them were just implicated. To use a fancier word - it's called silence.

"Is it a personal grudge..."

Roland murmured, turned around and asked An Ruosi and Robert loudly without shyness: "An Ruosi! Mr. Robert! Has any wizard in the White Tower ever had a grudge against the two of you at the same time?"

What he got was unexpected.

An Ruosi and Robert looked at each other, and then looked at Roland with complicated eyes.

"...There are...a lot of grudges between the two of us."

Finally, Robert spoke first.

"Oh?" Roland looked horrified. "Mr. Robert is enough... Why does An Ruosi also offend people?"

This time, it was Robert who looked at Roland and then at An Ruosi, but was still speechless.

"...Yes, Natalia's question..."

An Ruosi hesitated. But as soon as he heard him start, Roland understood what was going on.

But because of this, the anger in Roland's heart was even more intense.

——Just because of this trivial matter between boyfriend and girlfriend, Roland was shot in the face with brains and eyeballs?

Not only that, he also wanted to kill Roland directly!

"It's really too young to learn well..."

Roland's eyes were cold, and the dim yellow in his eyes finally turned into a huge eyeball phantom that jumped out of his eye socket and projected behind Roland.

"Then An Ruosi, there is no one who has a great affection for Natalia and a considerable dislike for you and Mr. Robert? Oh, by the way, it is best to be familiar with the shackles. A sleight-of-hand wizard, the kind who just graduated months or even weeks ago—"

"Um?"

An Ruosi and Robert are not stupid either.

Hearing Roland ask this level, the two of them suddenly realized something.

"...there really is one."

An Ruosi frowned and nodded: "That person's name is..."

Before he could say it clearly, a loud explosion sounded from the ceiling interrupting him.

Suddenly, several huge chandeliers fell to the ground. The candle fell, and the flames ignited the entire wall.

A pungent smell suddenly spread inside the sealed hotel, and the temperature in the air began to rise.

Roland laughed instead.

"Knowing that you are exposed, you are so angry that you want to kill us directly."

His voice was cold and sweet: "Do you call this stupid and reckless idea... decisive?"

As if responding to Roland's ridicule~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The floor under his feet exploded!

"Hellland!"

Robert exclaimed.

He just raised his right hand to perform surgery, and when he turned around, he saw An Ruosi watching Roland being submerged by the explosion and feeling nothing, and he couldn't help but yell: "An Ruosi, you..."

"Don't worry. With such a high temperature, she will be fine."

An Ruosi turned around casually and patted Robert on the shoulder.

Before Robert could understand what this sentence meant, a bone-piercing icy wind whistled and spread from where Roland had stood before.

"You idiot, you want me to teach you..." Roland's voice came from the wind, but it was colder than the cold wind-

"—What is it, an instant explosion?" (To be continued.)
