Chapter 116 Can’t Look at Them Directly (Monthly Ticket Adds More Updates)

Chapter 116 Can’t look directly at them... (More updates added with monthly ticket)

Wei En calmly observed the rune patterns as thin as a finger.

The unique silver-white luster of Thrall metal shines brightly under the illumination of the middle runes. It is difficult to see clearly the engraved lines from a distance.

But when he used his body to block the light of those runes, he could see a little reddish-brown on these lines, like rust stains formed by metal rust.

Wei En carefully touched the dented lines and his body suddenly froze.

[You have touched the power of the origin of desire. Because your origin exceeds 30, you have not been eroded or polluted by the power of the origin of desire. Evaluation: You only have ten seconds... Special rewards: +10 survival points, +2 toughness level, +2 spiritual level. 】

Wei En quickly let go of his hand, his heart beating violently, and a strange flush appeared on his face, as if the anger had entered the back of his head.

The power of desire?

When he just touched the engraving, Claire, Lacey, Carly already flashed through his mind... Even Sharapova appeared, and she was still doing all kinds of intense things.

Not only that, he also saw the figures of the liaison officer and Melbell. Under gunfire, the two died tragically after being contaminated by the death characteristic.

At that moment, the desire in his heart was infinitely magnified...

Wei En's eyes became solemn as he looked at the traces of corrosion.

Even his profound original power was almost eroded and polluted. Those scholars who stayed and worked here all year round would find it difficult to resist the pollution of the source of desire.

So, the problem with the city-state magic circle is caused by the Desire Sect?

To be precise, is it Mitra, the beloved of the Lord of Desire?

Wei En thought for a moment and then looked around at the wall in front of him. He wanted to see how many lines there were that had been eroded by the source of desire.

one two three……

While he stood here for a while, a prompt message would pop up on the panel from time to time.

[Because your origin exceeds 30, you successfully resisted the power of the origin of desire... Special rewards: Survival point +5, spiritual level +1, toughness level +1. 】

【……】

[...Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

A total of 113 rune lines were eroded!

Although this number is not worth mentioning compared to all the patterns in the room, its impact on the rune array cannot be ignored.

I don’t know what these lines are and which part of the runes they belong to...

Wei En looked at the lines and markings thoughtfully. Do you want to tell Yegor and the others about this discovery?

[You are scanned by Xia Di Otasilio's mental perception. Evaluation: I advise you to pretend that you haven't discovered it yet... Reward: +5 survival points. 】

As soon as he had this thought, a purple and black reminder flashed in his mind.

Is there someone watching here?

5 o'clock?

Is there a 5-point survival point bonus for mental perception?

What level of transcendent is this?

Wei En's heart sank. It seemed that there was something wrong with the magic circle here, and the strength of the person behind it was more terrifying than he imagined.

To have a strong person of this level focus on the city-state magic circle shows that they have a big plan!

Even if he wants to say it now, he can't say it, otherwise he doesn't know what the consequences will be...

Thinking of this, Wei En was ready to pretend to go to other places to check again.

Um?

It was only then that he noticed the information on the panel. A prompt would pop up almost every two or three minutes.

Except for the first four messages, which are special rewards, all the subsequent messages only have survival point rewards.

award……

Wayne turned around and glanced around, and saw that everyone else was gathered around the high platform to pay attention to Alicia's inspection work, and no one paid attention to him.

There are only prompts on the panel and you are not allowed to speak. Doesn’t that mean you can’t do something quietly?

It’s rare to have such a safe opportunity to get some rewards. If you don’t use it now, when will you?

With this in mind, he didn't leave. He approached the wall and pretended to observe the rune patterns, and from time to time he would touch the source of desire with his hands.

[You have touched the origin of desire...Special rewards: survival points +9, toughness level +2, spiritual level +2. 】

[...Survival point +8, toughness level +1, spiritual level +1. 】

【……】

[You have touched the power of the origin of desire. Because your origin exceeds 30, you have not been eroded or polluted by the power of the origin of desire. Comment: Are you sure you want to continue? Reward: +5 survival points. 】

After receiving more than ten special rewards in a row, Wei En stopped when only ordinary survival point rewards were left.

It’s not okay if I don’t stop.

With every touch, those illusions of desire would appear in his mind, and as the number of times increased, the scenes became clearer and clearer.

Even later, he could clearly feel the real touch, as well as the excitement and relief after the intense experience...

If he were to touch the source of desire so directly, he was really worried that he would be unable to resist performing an animal transformation on the spot.

"Wayne, did you find anything?"

"Not yet,"

When Wayne heard Lacey's voice, he just turned around and glanced at her, then quickly looked elsewhere, "I'll go take a look elsewhere."

"...let me know if you find anything."

Lacey looked at his movements with a trace of doubt in her eyes. Why was he walking in such a weird way?

"no problem."

Wayne pretended to reply casually, staring with a pair of red eyes, and walked sideways along the wall to get behind the scholars.

grass,

He just saw Lacey's figure, and the previous scene burst into his mind.

Wei En looked at the scholars who were busy. Gray hair, old face full of wrinkles, skinny figure...

The more he looked, the calmer his heart became.

It wasn't until his body stopped responding that Wei En wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to look directly at Lacey and Carly for a long time...

Damn the source of desire!

Not long after, Professor Lin Qiaoya walked in and went straight to Alicia and the others, "Anything else discovered?"

Alicia observed the core runes bit by bit, shook her head and said: "Not yet... Professor, do you know which part of the runes has the ability to detect bone-eating insects?"

Professor Lin Qiaoya looked a little unnatural, "Sorry, I just found the previous inspection report and found that the part of the rune that detects bone-eating insects was removed half a year ago."

"Half a year ago? Can't the city-state rune array be easily changed? Why do you want to take it away?"

"This was not changed by us, but by a rune scholar from Klanders. At that time, he also brought a copy of the latest city-state magic circle drawing..."

"The suggestion above is that the threat of the bone-eating mother insect is only a level two disaster, and there is no need to set up special detection runes."

"Then what was changed after the change?" Alicia stopped checking and asked doubtfully.

"It's a rune for detecting another abyssal creature," Professor Lin Qiaoya hesitated and said, "It's a rune for detecting black tide demons."

Lacey and Alicia looked at each other and asked, "Do you still remember the name and identity of the rune scholar? And if you want to change it back, is that okay?"

"That information is available, but it is more difficult to change it back."

"Huh? Why?"

Professor Lin Qiaoya explained: "If you want to change the city-state magic circle, you must not only obtain the consent of Clandestine, but also completely stop the operation of the magic circle..."

"So, it can be changed?"

"It's possible, but..."

"As long as it can be changed,"

Lacey interrupted directly: "Now those bone-eating insects have parasitized a large area. If we don't respond, the entire Custer city-state will fall into panic. You don't want to see that scene either, right?"

"Is it already so critical?"

"That's right!"

Professor Lin Qiaoya thought: "I will report it to the Parliament and the Noble Committee, and at the same time contact Clander to provide a solution as soon as possible."

"It better be this way. Besides,"

Lacey glanced at the scholars present, "Please also try your best to troubleshoot the problems with the magic circle. You must find all the problems, otherwise..."

"You can rest assured that I promise to repair the problem as soon as possible without affecting the operation of the city-state magic circle." Lin Qiaoya changed his previous impatience and said solemnly.

"Very well, Alicia, please do your best too."

"No problem, I'll do my best."

After speaking, Lacey waved to Wei En and others, indicating to go out.

"Professor Lin Qiaoya just explained that this city-state's array does not have the ability to detect bone-eating insects. Next, Custer City-State will be in big trouble."

Only then did Wei En realize that it was not the part of the runes he checked that did not have the ability to detect bone-eating insects, but that the entire city-state magic circle did not have this ability.

Half a year ago?

Those people planned all this half a year ago?

Wayne thought of Mateo, the Abyss sect he met in the slums yesterday, Mitra, the beloved of desire in the city that never sleeps, and the reminder on the panel just now...

At present, he can be sure that the identity of the person who arranged all this must not be simple!

But what is their purpose?

Don’t you just want to turn the entire city of Custer into purgatory?

Then he really needs to think about escaping.

Carly said with a worried look: "Sister Lacey, what should we do now? If we don't use the power of the city-state magic circle, will it be difficult to find those people who are parasitized by bone-eating insects?"

"Let's wait until the inspection here is completed, or..." Lacey looked at Wei En and said, "First take Tina back to the Secret Adjustment Department and synchronize the findings here with Yegor."

"Once there is a reply from above, come here and notify us as soon as possible."

Having said this, Lacey took out the parchment recording the investigation and handed it to him.

"These are the lists of suspicious persons provided by Lin Qiaoya. You should also bring them to Yegor and ask him to quickly arrange for personnel to investigate."

Wei En took the parchment, hesitated for a moment, and then risked a reminder: "Captain, it's better to leave the inspection of the magic circle to the scholars. You and Carly had better stay outside to prevent other accidents."

"Both of us don't know those runes," Lacey waved his hand indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense and go back quickly."

Wei En had no choice but to pull Tina out.

With such a transcendent person staring at the magic circle, he couldn't say more. He could only hope that Lacey and the others couldn't find anything...

Not long after, they followed the guards out of the underground cave where the core array was located.

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Lacey asked: "Carly, do you think Wayne is a little strange?"

"No, he didn't seem to look at me much just now, and the captain?"

"Really? He would occasionally glance at my place before." Lacey pointed at the hanging clock hanging in front of Carly and said, "The same goes for your place."

"Ah?" Two blushes appeared on Carly's face, and she stammered: "Captain, you, you are wrong, I, I didn't notice..."

"Marco was like this before. After wrestling with me a few times, he didn't dare anymore."

Lacey said thoughtfully: "It seems that after this case is finished, I will have to find time to wrestle with Wayne a few times."

"..."

Carly has not been exposed to this aspect of education in a church school, so it is difficult for her to treat such things as Lacey normally, let alone speak out.

Gladiator... Well, come on, Wayne.

…

…

After leaving the small building where the city-state magic circle was located, Wei En looked around and could not find the mechanical wheel car he came on. It seemed that it had been requisitioned by Minister Yegor.

"Tina, you were inside just now, did you find anything?"

"Tina, no."

Tina's expression remained the same as usual, but since she left the Secret Adjustment Department, the number of times she shook the clown doll increased a lot.

The clown doll's two button eyes are off the thread...

Wei En nodded and thought to himself: Even the origin of desire was found on the panel. It seems that there should be no other abnormalities here.

"Let's go."

At this time, a carriage stopped in front of the two people.

A coachman in a cheap dress looked at the two men and took off their hats and saluted, "We meet again, Mr. Investigator."

"Oh, it's you."

Wayne looked at the familiar figure on the carriage. It was the coachman who had sent him to Serres Manor before. Oh, yes, he was also a Vazquez.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Investigator, may I serve you?"

"It just so happens that I'm going to the Dumitru neighborhood."

"Secret Adjustment Department?"

Wayne pulled Tina into the carriage and smiled: "Yes, please hurry up, I have something urgent."

"no problem."

The coachman held the reins with both hands and turned around to remind: "Please sit still, Mr. Investigator, and this silent lady."

As he waved the reins, the two ponies ran towards the Secret Adjustment Division on their four strong short legs.

There were some things on his mind that made Wei En no longer in the mood to talk.

It happened that the coachman was also focused on controlling the acceleration or deceleration of the carriage, and for a moment it seemed that the only sound around was the clatter of horse hooves on the stone road.

[You are targeted by Maciej Kohli’s murderous intent. Comment: Another poor creature parasitized by bone-eating insects. Reward: Survival point +1. 】

【……】

oh?

Are there even those parasites here?

Wayne checked the newly added information on the panel. After scanning around, his mental perception spread to the surroundings.

A man in armor, 30 meters away.

100 meters away, a woman with stiff arms and legs.

distance……

Are there parasites in those noble manors?

Just within the range of his perception, Wayne discovered more than a dozen parasites, some of which were in the manor separated by a wall.

Unexpectedly, there are parasites even here in Natoli, so the situation in other places is probably even worse.

Wei En withdrew his mental perception, looked at the driver in front of him thoughtfully, and asked, "Have you or your friends encountered anything special recently?"

"What do you mean, Mr. Investigator?"

"all."

The coachman was silent for a moment, then slowed down the carriage, and said in a slightly bitter voice: "Yesterday, three acquaintances of mine died at home."

"The day before yesterday, there were two. Three days ago, there was one..."

"Stop," Wei En had to interrupt his counting, "Excuse me, why did they all die?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Too many things have happened these days, and my mood has been affected to some extent. Although I know very well that if I want to survive, I must stay sober and optimistic, but..."

"It's okay, please continue."

"The three people yesterday live in the Ruhr neighborhood not far from the Laos neighborhood. They just moved there, and I even gave little Harry a quill..."

"When I arrived, all three of them had been beaten to pieces by the city guards, and there was mucus everywhere that could corrode people..."

Wei En listened to his ramble and thought helplessly: Compared with most people in the Custer City State, the living space of these Vazquez people is too bad.

However, he also roughly understood that most of these people were contaminated by the red moon and turned into aberrations and died.

"Is there anyone who looks normal, but whose behavior or speech is obviously different from before?"

"Speech, behavior?" The coachman thought for a moment and said, "There are many..."

"a lot of?"

"Yes, it seems that in just over ten days, many people who have just moved to the Laos neighborhood from the villages in the north have changed somewhat."

Wei En's eyes narrowed, "How many people are there?"

"I don't know the specifics, but dozens or hundreds of people pass the city-state review every day."

Having said this, the coachman turned around and looked at him, "Mr. Investigator, are you asking this because something happened recently?"

"...Indeed," Wei En hesitated and explained simply: "In the next period of time, try to go out as little as possible if you have nothing to do."

"It's the same... during the day?"

"Yeah, during the day too."

The coachman was a little troubled, but he still nodded with a wry smile, "I guess you are right. There are indeed a few people who go out during the day and come back changed."

"They didn't say anything when I asked them. They looked at me like I was looking at a piece of raw meat. It was very scary..."

"Also try to have as little contact with them as possible," Wei En reminded again.

Now he was basically sure that most of the people who lived in or frequented the slums were parasitized by bone-eroding worms.

According to the coachman's answer, the number was at least a thousand.

Plus the workers in the Idrisu neighborhood and the parasites in other neighborhoods... Two thousand, three thousand, or four thousand?

In short, it is not far from the five thousand people that Claire said would be sacrificed.

Thinking of this, Wei En felt a chill in his heart.

If the abyss sect really completes the sacrifice ceremony, a terrifying abyss creature comparable to a third-level disaster will appear, and then the entire city-state may turn into an abyss...

Then what should he plan?

"Mr. Investigator, thank you very much for your reminder. I will hide at home for a while. Fortunately, when I left the Laos neighborhood before, I found a house with a basement."

"Well, be careful."

Wei En nodded and looked at the pedestrians outside the car who looked normal, chatting and laughing, and felt that the city seemed too quiet today.

Wasn't what happened at the factory yesterday published in the newspaper?

"Your destination has arrived, Mr. Investigator." The coachman directed the pony to slow down and stop steadily at the door of the Secret Adjustment Department. He said respectfully: "Thank you again for the reminder."

"You are welcome."

Wayne took out two 1-shilling coins and put them in the box in his hand, "I hope to see you again next time."

"Me too."

Wei En nodded to him, took Tina into the Secret Adjustment Department, and knocked directly on the door of Minister Yegor's office.

"Please come in."

Wayne pushed the door open and saw Yegor signing a very beautiful name on the parchment with a quill. It's hard to imagine that such a rough man like him could write such beautiful handwriting.

"Huh? Lacey, if there's anything you need to come over and let me know?"

When Yegor saw them coming in, he guessed that the city-state magic circle had undergone new changes, and the ferocious scar on his face squirmed unconsciously.

"Yes, Minister."

Wei En briefly repeated what Professor Lin Qiaoya said, then took out the list of suspicious persons and placed it on the table, "The captain hopes to get a reply from above as soon as possible."

"Has the rune array been changed? Oh, I understand,"

Yegor frowned and thought for a while, then pointed at the parchment and said, "Take the list back, and go and investigate first with Marco."

"Then Captain Lacey is still waiting for a reply, and there is also a magic circle..."

"Don't worry about the matters over the magic circle. The senior management will evaluate it." Yegor waved his hand, "Go and do your business."

Wei En hesitated for a moment, wanting to remind him that someone was secretly watching over the magic circle, and that the Desire Sect had eroded and polluted the magic circle, so he didn't say anything.

And he really couldn't find a suitable reason to reveal these findings.

But since Yegor said so, I think the Secret Service Department should know the urgency of this matter, or do they know who is behind it?

Thinking of this, Wayne picked up the parchment and pulled Tina out of the office.

When he opened the door of the office, he saw Marco and Lidia looking through the case files they had investigated previously.

However, seeing that both of them had disgusting expressions on their faces, it must have been a "friendly" exchange.

"Wayne, you're back, where are Lacey and the others?"

"Encountered some situation,"

Wayne walked over and explained Yegor's arrangements, pointing to the two names on the parchment: "One is a student of Custer Public School, and the other is a professor of a missionary school."

"Leave the student to you, I will take Lidya to find the professor."

Marco asked Lydia to record the professor's information, "How is the situation with the captain?"

"Some people found that the runes for detecting bone-eating insects have been changed, and some rune nodes are not activated."

"So serious? It seems that the captain's guess yesterday was right."

"Well," Wayne nodded, "the situation is a little worse than expected."

"Then hurry up and get the investigation results back before you get off work. It's best to find the person who did the trick, and it can also reduce a lot of trouble."

With that said, Wei En took Tina and left the Secret Adjustment Department with Marco and the others.

At the door, four people rushed to different positions, one on the left and one on the right.

The young rune scholar's name is William Frith, a student of Professor Linjoia. He has just graduated from Custer Public School and lives alone at No. 21 Ruhr Block...

Wayne looked at the information in his hand. The west side of the Ruhr neighborhood was not that far away.

…

…

At the same time, in the city that never sleeps.

"There seem to be a lot of people coming next door." Mitra was sitting at her desk wearing a tulle skirt, showing off her beauty.

"I already know."

A slightly magnetic voice sounded, but except for Mitra, there was no one else in the room.

"Do you need me to pause the erosion of the totem first?"

"Huh? You haven't stopped it yet?"

The corners of Mitra's mouth turned up, and she said with a smile: "I don't dare to act arbitrarily without your order."

"...Please, stop it immediately. Although Xia Di is watching, it's best if no one notices it, and it saves him from having to clean it up again."

"As you command, my dear lord."

"Mitra,"

The owner of that voice was not happy because of her respect, and said slightly threateningly: "I hope you won't do unnecessary things."

"Sir, you are worrying too much."

"Humph, after those people leave, I will tell you what to do next."

"Everything is subject to your will."

"!"

Seeing him leaving, Mitra stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers, and saw a half-human-tall statue appearing in front of her out of thin air.

The statue looked like a terrifying spider, with six thick and barbed legs supporting its huge body.

A belly similar to the tail of a bee dragged at the bottom, and several small spiders came out from there, as if they had just been born.

The upper body of the statue is human-shaped, but it is made up of countless twisted tentacles, all the way to its neck.

And on its face, there are four mouths, one inside the other, giving the impression that it has several extra chins.

But its eyes are extremely charming, like the upper part of the head of the most beautiful girl specially found, with long hair hanging down to the tail...

Mitra stared at the statue in front of her and curled her lips unconsciously. No matter how many times she looked at it, she still felt that its image was really ugly.

…

…

In less than twenty minutes, Wayne took Tina to the Ruhr neighborhood.

On the way, he bought two newspapers, a Custer Parliamentary News and a Trade Union Newspaper.

But until the end, he couldn't find any word about parasites in these more than ten newspapers.

Only then did Wayne realize that no wonder the people in the city-state were doing everything as usual. It turned out that they had no idea what happened in the Idrisu neighborhood yesterday.

This seemed extremely abnormal, but also made him feel very reasonable.

What is abnormal is that the city-state's top officials did not increase manpower to investigate the location of the parasite. What is reasonable is that they did not publish relevant reports to avoid panic among the city-state residents.

It's just that for things like this, it's not advisable to cover one's ears and steal the bell.

Wayne rubbed his forehead and smoothed his frown.

The current intelligence information is too little, and it is difficult for him to deduce the plans of the city-state parliament, the noble committee, the various authorities, and the churches.

I don't even know the secret behind this matter.

"Just take it one step at a time, the big deal is..."

Wei En sighed and followed the information on the parchment to find the young scholar's residence - a two-story building.

[You are scanned by Poulsen Hekme's mental perception. Rating: Be careful. Reward: Survival Points +2. 】

Um?

Psychic perception, be careful?

This was the first time that Wei En saw someone who had the panel prompt 'be careful' just after being swept by spiritual power.

Usually, such words will appear on the panel when someone is targeted by the opponent's murderous intent.

Poulsen…

Hmm, I seem to have heard this name somewhere?

Wei En thought for a moment, is it him? The favored person of the Abyss Sect?

He has not been in this world for a long time, and he has not come into contact with many people or heard many names.

Just thinking about it briefly, he remembered that when exchanging information with people in the Nightmare Realm Tower last night, someone said that "Polson, the beloved of the Abyss Sect, traveled from the Western Continent to the Northern Continent to look for the prophet."

The Abyss Sect... It seems that he may really be the favored one of the Abyss Sect.

Wei En looked around and saw that this place was still three streets away from the place where the bone-eating mother worm was found yesterday. Even the Golden Street was closer than Laos.

It's reasonable for the favored one to appear not far from here... bummer.

The straight-line distance is more than ten kilometers, unless...

Wei En thought of a possibility, and felt even more panicked in his heart. No, no, no, don't scare yourself. There's no such thing as a coincidence.

Then, he knocked on the door calmly, and his spiritual sense penetrated into the house.

No matter what, let's finish the investigation task first and leave quickly.

Since the other party is not locked with murderous intent, don't mess up your position to avoid attracting the other party's attention again.

Um?

Being blocked from perception?

Wei En frowned, he couldn't be so unlucky, could he?

It is possible for a young scholar who is proficient in runes to set up a spiritual power shielding circle at home, but it is definitely not something that an ordinary family living in the Ruhr neighborhood can afford.

Maybe, maybe, should, he won the jackpot!

Squeak.

At this time, the door was opened from the inside.

A tall and thin young man wearing a black robe, with messy black hair and a pair of brass-framed glasses, looked at him and Tina blankly.

"You, investigators? Are you here to find me?"

"Mr. Villiam?"

"It's me, you really came to see me," Viliam looked at them and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Excuse me, what can I do?"

"Go in and talk?"

Wei En knew that there was a magic circle in this room that shielded mental perception, and he happened to avoid the perception of Poulsen.

"Please, please come in."

Viliam hurriedly got out of the way, and after Wei En came in, he closed the door, squeezed out a smile and said, "Excuse me, how can I help you."

Wayne glanced around and saw a very ordinary layout. There was only a table and four chairs on the first floor, a simple storage cabinet in the corner, and kitchen facilities on the other side.

"To put it simply, there are some problems with the Rune Array, and I need to find out about the situation from you."

"Ah? There's something wrong with the magic circle? What's the problem? Did the teacher ask you to come to me?"

Viliam's eyes widened in surprise. The thick lenses made his eyes look even bigger.

"Sit down and talk,"

Wei En pulled Tina to sit down at the table and waved: "You need to ask Professor Lin Qiaoya for specific questions. I came to you because I have a few questions to ask you."

"You said it, you said it."

Viliam sat across from the two of them. His eyes were unconsciously attracted to Tina, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes.

"That's it. The city-state array has been tampered with, and some of the rune nodes are useless. Do you know about this situation?"

"Are there any activated rune nodes? Are they core runes or others? If they are other rune nodes, that is, those rune nodes that are not on the high platform, they are not activated in real time and only appear in the city-state..."

"Core runes," Wei En interrupted.

Viliam was stunned for a moment, "Impossible! No matter which core rune node is not activated, the entire magic circle will not be effective. Unless the entire magic circle is tampered with, such a situation will occur."

"But that requires deactivating the magic circle, which will take at least a few days. It's impossible that no one will find out..."

Have they all been tampered with?

Wayne retrieved this knowledge of runes in his mind and found that the above content was exactly the same as what Viliam had described.

Is it possible to modify the city-state magic circle without deactivating it?

Um?

As his question arises, the knowledge of runes automatically gives him the answer.

One is to change the rune patterns and bypass the rune nodes in a very short period of time. It should be noted that the new rune array must comply with the unity principle of the array.

The second is to use the isolation circle to block out those rune nodes and then modify them. requires attention……

The third is...

Wei En looked at the dozen standard answers that came to mind, and the veins on his forehead jumped.

Fuck, since there is such a method, why is there still an explanation that you can't modify the runes if you keep using the magic circle?

This is a rune array rule formulated by Hector True, a top scholar of runes, in 1148 of the Third Era out of the principle of rigor.

Wayne: "..."

Why, academic experts do a lot of harm to people.

"Is there any problem? Mr. Investigator?" Viliam noticed that he was distracted.

"No, it's nothing."

Wei En shook his head and continued to ask: "Second question, during the time you were working in the city-state magic circle, did you notice anything unusual?"

"Abnormal, um, what do you mean?"

"Has anyone acted abnormally, such as actively asking to stay on duty, or asking to take a break at an unreasonable time, etc."

Viliam thought for a while and said, "No, everyone is quite normal and completes their work in accordance with the regulations."

"how about you?"

"Me? I didn't either... huh? Mr. Investigator, do you suspect that I tampered with the city-state formation?"

"What do you think? You just entered the work there and there was a problem with the magic circle. Isn't it worthy of suspicion?" Wei En asked, staring into his eyes.

I always feel that there is something not quite right about the young man in front of me...

Although he wears thick glasses, his eyes are not as dull as myopia, but are bright and clear.

Moreover, his hair is messy, but his body is very clean, at least it can be seen from his neck that it is clean.

"No, not me, I didn't."

Viliam waved his hands repeatedly and said in a panic: "Mr. Investigator, I have only been there a few days, and I haven't even started to touch the magic circle yet..."

"You haven't started contacting yet?" Wei En's face turned cold, "That's not what your teacher, Professor Lin Qiaoya, said. You are lying!"

"..." Viliam opened his mouth, looking like he couldn't believe it.

[You are scanned by Reinhard Tania's mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. 】

Um? ?

Wei En's eyes changed slightly. There was a runic circle here that blocked mental perception. It was impossible for people outside to sense him, so there was only...

He, Reinhardt?

Unexpectedly, after cheating casually, I actually discovered something.

"So, how are you going to explain your work?"

Viliam, no, it should be Reinhardt, the surprise on his face slowly subsided, he raised his hand to take off his glasses, and looked at him calmly.

"Yes, the city-state magic circle was indeed manipulated by me..."

Click.

Wei En instantly pulled out a musket and pointed it at his head, signaling to the white-haired girl on the side: "Tina, stay away."

"Tina, I know."

Tina stood behind him holding the clown doll, sticking her head out and staring at Reinhard with her blank eyes.

"Mr. Investigator, you are really...I am just an ordinary person, I don't have to be like this."

"Ordinary people can't replace other people's identities." Wei En said coldly.

"Replacement?" Reinhardt was stunned for a moment, "How did you tell?"

"So, where is the real Viliam?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Reinhard didn't care. He even looked at the musket in his hand with interest, "This is the standard weapon of the Secret Adjustment Department, right? It's very well made..."

boom.

Wayne shot decisively.

A bullet passed by Reinhardt's ear and hit the storage cabinet behind him.

"Well, the sound of this gun is a bit loud. It can be improved."

Wei En looked at his still calm look and asked, "Aren't you going to answer my question?"

Reinhardt smiled, "As you said, I replaced Viliam and took the opportunity to change some of the rune cores."

"anything else?"

"No, this is my only mission."

"Mission? Who gave you the mission?" Wei En frowned, and he was one step closer to the truth.

Reinhard looked at him with a half-smile, "I can't tell you this. If I say it, the game won't be fun."

"The Sect of Despair?" Wei En stared into his eyes and said a name casually.

"What it is?"

"Red Moon Church?"

"What are you asking for?" Reinhard looked at him puzzled.

"The Sect of Desire?"

Wayne saw his fingers move subconsciously, but there was no change on his face.

Um?

Not even a member of the Desire Sect?

"Abyss Cult?"

Um?

Pupils constricted.

Are they from the Abyss Sect? !

Wei En's heart was startled. He suddenly thought that if Reinhardt was a member of the Abyss Religion, then the spiritual perception he just encountered at the door...

not good!

"Follow me back to the Secret Division."

"I'm not going anywhere, Mr. Investigator." Reinhard still didn't know that he was exposed, so he pretended to be confused and asked: "You seem to know something, just those few questions?"

"Ask me again, are you leaving?"

"Not leaving."

boom.

Wayne shot decisively.

Wei En noticed this prompt message and fired a series of bullets without any pause.

"What are you going to do to my men?"

"..."

Wayne looked at the man wearing a black mask who appeared in front of him in an instant and blocked Reinhardt. A stream of sweat slowly dripped down to the ground.

Now, there is some trouble...
