Later, Mr. Lival followed him out, and together with Mr. Asaches, they carefully circled several hundred meters around the Rose Mansion, but in the end they were unable to find the Lord Durand who suddenly lost his mind and went crazy.
They returned without success, and their expressions became more solemn.
"It was too dark outside, and the road was not easy to walk, and we had no way of knowing where Durand was running to." Mr. Assaches sighed and said, "Even if we shouted loudly, he didn't respond."
"How come he can't pray all of a sudden?" Levi couldn't help but frowned at this time.
He happened to be present when Lord Durand lost his mind, so he witnessed this scene... But no one could give an answer to this matter.
Time passes quietly in mystery.
suddenly.
"I...can't pray either." Mr. Lival's voice was slightly strange.
Asaches looked suddenly and looked carefully, as if to confirm whether Livar was normal at this time... If Livar could not bear the stimulation like Durand, the situation would be really bad!
"Maybe it's because we were transferred to this place by unknown means." Although Livar's expression looked ugly at this time, he was not abnormal.
In other words, he is using his strong endurance to successfully withstand the impact of being unable to pray.
For a devout believer, or even a petitioner, being unable to pray is undoubtedly something that shakes the roots of the spiritual world.
Once you fall into self-doubt, your faith can easily collapse.
Mr. Assachs can understand this feeling very well... He took a deep breath, gently patted Livar on the shoulder and said: "That's right, the reason why you can't pray must be because we are in this weird situation. relationship, and it is definitely not because there is something inherently wrong with you. Only if you stabilize this idea, will your faith disappear easily."
At this time, Livar took a deep look at Mr. Asaches. He knew these things, and I am afraid that Mr. Asaches had realized them himself.
Because he knew that Mr. Asaches was exactly a person who could not pray.
The same goes for the maid Clary... This is the current situation of the master and servant of [Rose Mansion].
What he knew was also the current situation that the unconscious campus principal Ludik knew.
It's just that this matter has always been covered up.
Campus Principal Ludick has always used different methods to spend a lot of Willing Power Crystal Cards at [Rose Mansion] from time to time.
This is true for playing cards, and this is true for buying flowers.
That's why the principal's office of [Free City Academy] looks like a garden of roses. In fact, principal Ludik doesn't know how to grow flowers at all.
But no... don't pretend to be a person who is obsessed with roses. His behavior of constantly buying roses from the Rose Mansion will easily arouse others' suspicion.
Let everything become a little more reasonable... At least it makes sense logically, so that we can lie to others, Levi, white lies are sometimes necessary!
These words are what Ludik once said to Livar.
Makes some of it slightly more reasonable...at least logically plausible.
Then it is logically reasonable to include the root cause of the inability to pray in this weirdness, thereby avoiding the instant impact of self-doubt on faith.
Livar has been by Ludik's side for many years and can easily imitate Ludik's logic.
When he tried to pray and was unable to respond to his prayers and could not gain any willpower, he was almost like Mr. Durand.
"I'm fine." Livar regained his composure at this time and said slowly. At the same time, he looked at Boss Luo, the maid and Nan Xiaonan.
…
"I...I can't pray anymore!" Nan Xiaonan said quickly 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 advantage of the opportunity now to avoid some sudden situations in the future.
Livar said coldly: "Just now, when I chased out to find Lord Durand, you happened to come back... You seemed to have said that the painting in the corridor disappeared... What did you say, what did you mean? Why did you go there in such a special way?
Looking for this painting?”
Nan Xiaonan did not go to see Boss Luo and the maid at this time. If she did so at this time, it would be too stupid and more likely to arouse Livar's suspicion. She had to say carefully: "A landscape painting on the corridor.
What I saw during the day... According to my recollection, the place outside the Rose Mansion seems to be very similar to the scenery in that landscape painting."
"You said... similar?" Livar frowned.
Mr. Asaches 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 went there, there was only one mark left on the wall."
Livar said: "How could the painting suddenly disappear when it was hanging on the wall... Unless someone deliberately took the painting away before you went."
"Who?" Nan Xiaonan asked directly.
Livar said calmly: "It could be you, because it was you who said the painting disappeared, and you are suspected of hiding the painting on purpose."
"What did you say?" Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but sneered.
Livar didn't care, but continued: "But it could also be me. At that time, Mr. Asaches and I closed the doors and windows separately, and he didn't say that he could prove that I didn't take the landscape painting. The same thing..."
"Similarly, I am also suspected, and so is Clary." Asaches took over Livar's words, "Even you are... because for us, when the incident happened, everyone was in a position where we could not prove ourselves.
status."
"This is going to be a big trouble." Nan Xiaonan shook his head.
At this time, she walked to the side of Boss Luo and the maid...next to Mr. Asaches. At this time, he himself was the three of them.
Well, three vs three, don’t be afraid!
"This meaningless formation split does nothing to solve our current weird situation." Asaches shook his head at this time, "The sage often said that only by concentrating your power on one point can you defeat the most powerful one.
The shield. Everyone, let us put aside our prejudices for the time being and let’s get through this difficulty first.”
Levi 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 talk about so many things so often.
The maid returned a helpless look: No, I didn't say that.
"...Lival, you can ask me about landscape paintings. I probably know the landscape painting this lady is talking about. It was the work of my ancestor [Jacques Daque] in his later years.
It has been kept in the mansion, and I have seen it countless times as a decoration. Now that I think about it, the world outside the mansion is indeed very similar to the contents of a landscape painting." Mr. Asaches continued.
"Your ancestor?" Livar's expression changed slightly, "The father of the saint..."
It seemed difficult for him to completely and organically connect the weirdness in this with the noble identity of the "Father of Saints".
"It is impossible for a painting to disappear on its own." Livar 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 on its own... Let's assume that if we didn't do it,
If the painting is taken down, what else could cause a painting to disappear?"
"What's the situation?" Nan Xiaonan thought for a while, then her mind moved, and she quickly thought of another possibility.
Boss Luo said at this time: "Mr. Livar means that besides us, there are...others in the mansion?"
"Assuming there are others." Livar nodded, "Continue."
Boss Luo said, "We checked into the mansion during the day. When we checked in, we didn't see any other residents. Miss Kelili also said that there was no one else in the mansion except us."
"Really!" the maid Clary said hurriedly at this time: "Due to the strange incident, there are no residents in the mansion... If there were, how could there be no movement all day long?"
Nan Xiaonan said: "It's hard to say. There are so many rooms in the mansion. When we selected the rooms, we didn't open every room. If we want to hide someone, it's not impossible."
The maid suddenly panicked and looked helplessly at her boss, Mr. Asaches.
"There are indeed no other residents before you. I can prove it...if you are willing to believe my proof." Mr. Asaches said calmly at this time.
Boss Luo smiled slightly and said: "I believe Mr. Asaches is a person who cannot lie."
Lival said: "Then we can only assume that there is an undiscovered [guest] in the mansion, who quietly took away the landscape paintings, and this [guest] is also related to the sudden changes outside the mansion...
...Even Mr. Ludick and his coma are related, and they are very likely to be the culprits or insiders of the loss of the God's Favorite level in the mansion."
"How do you plan to find someone?" Mr. Asaches 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 able to escape... Even at this time it
He may have secretly left the mansion and gone outside...and you and I have no way of knowing how big it is outside."
Mr. Livar sighed and said: "Over the years, the campus president has supported a lot of efforts...Mr. Asaches, why don't some surveillance cameras be installed in the mansion."
Azashe suddenly looked embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "The daily maintenance of the mansion is very expensive, and I also have to pay the workers' salaries."
Boss Luo asked curiously: "Besides Miss Claire, are there any other employees?"
Asaches said: "Yes, there are actually three employees, a chef, and two building attendants. It's just that after the mansion closed, I temporarily laid them off... It only took a few days to reopen.
I haven’t planned to call them back yet.”
Boss Luo nodded, indicating that he understood, and seemed to have no intention of asking further.
At this time, Livar took out a memo from the counter in the lobby, opened it, and wrote this in front of everyone.
What to do next.
1. Looking for Mr. Durand.
2. Explore the outside world.
3. Search for the lost landscape paintings.
4. Detect another person who may exist.
5. Find a way out of here.
6. The assistant who takes care of Mr. Ludick and Lord Durand (I don’t know his name).
7. Replenish physical strength.
As he wrote, Livar looked at the crowd and said: "To search for Mr. Durand and explore the outside world, we can only wait until dawn... The things that can be done in the mansion now are, third, fourth, sixth and seventh.
Article. The top priority... Let’s investigate and see if there is anyone still hiding in a dark corner.”
It should be said that Mr. Livar is indeed a secretary and is very good at summarizing and organizing on the spot... Everyone has no objections to Livar's current summary.
So soon, a decision was made.
Currently, 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 unknown, while the other group is checking various rooms, looking for the missing landscape paintings and possible [guests].
Luo · Death God · Kindaichi · Conan · College Student · Qiu likes the adventure mode, so he directly invited him to fight.
Mr. Assass agreed to join the operation, and Clary stayed.
Livar was also automatically assigned to the action group.
In this way, it is equivalent to all three parties providing manpower.
"Let's start from the courtyard of the mansion and make a circle first." Livar said directly: "All the doors and windows should be closed... This will be more efficient."
…
…
"I...I'll go get some food for everyone!" The maid Clary stood up at this time.
