Chapter 296 Chains

Late at night, Lu Qi returned to his home, took out the key and started to open the door.

He did not notice that under the eaves above his head, there was a mosquito lying quietly there.

And a pair of eyes, through this mosquito, were silently watching all of Lu Qi's actions.

Lu Qi lived in a residential area in the civilian area. In another corner of this residential area, Naya sat in a room and silently watched Lu Qi's actions.

This house was privately owned by Prius, and it happened to be used for this mission.

Although Lu Qi only lived in the civilian area, the furniture and decorations in his home were particularly luxurious.

Any chair taken out would have to sell for hundreds of gold coins on the market, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.

If Lu Qi did not want to attract too much attention, he would have moved into the rich area long ago.

It was just too abnormal, he needed to be low-key, and could only rely on the luxurious decoration inside to satisfy his heart.

Lu Qi took out the wood carvings in the space ring one by one and placed them on the table.

He took out a clean white towel and wiped the wood carvings carefully one by one, even if there was a little dust.

Under the roof, Naya looked at the wood carvings through the mosquito, recorded all the information, and then sent it to Prius.

Prius kept looking at the feedback from his subordinates and conducting some evaluation work on the action plan.

Herag stayed in the hotel. He had seen two or three people lurking around quietly, and their targets seemed to be Max.

Another person turned into a shadow, completely blended into the night, and quickly entered Max's house.

Herag stared at Max and found that he was just carving with a carving knife, and didn't notice the intrusion of the uninvited guest at all.

That person hid his breath too perfectly. If Herag didn't have the deep blue environmental detection, it would be difficult to notice this person.

After entering the house, Shaquille didn't get too close to Max, but quickly explored the situation in the house.

After scanning the first and second floors, he found the small attic on the third floor, the magic lock on the door and the unknown magic array behind the door.

Shaquille didn't know the specific effect of the magic array, so he didn't dare to get close to investigate, but just wrote down the situation.

He glanced at Max who was concentrating on carving, and left without staying too long.

The purpose of Shaquille's trip was to investigate the situation. Any extra actions were unnecessary and could not cause trouble.

...

City Hall, inside the building of Serandil.

Prius looked at the parchment in his hand, which contained reports from his subordinates.

He looked at the news and found no major problems. He was almost ready.

Prius glanced at the busy people in the room and waved his hand, saying, "Begin the action."

A group of people disappeared from the room in an instant, and the originally noisy office became silent in an instant.

Kawart Business District.

Max sat on the ground, concentrating on carving a sunflower.

His hand holding the carving knife was very stable, and every cut was extremely precise and just right.

Originally just a piece of log, the wood has slowly taken the shape of a sunflower.

After carving out the general shape, the next job is to carve the details.

This is a job that requires a lot of patience, but Max is always very patient.

He took the carving knife and began to slowly outline the petals of the sunflower.

Originally everything was going well, but suddenly, there was some deviation in the cut he made, causing the cut to be crooked.

This crookedness basically means that all the previous work was wasted.

This is the difficulty of carving. The more you go back, the more careful you need to be. A slight deviation will lead to all the previous work being wasted.

Although it can be repaired and compensated, Max has always been a person who pursues perfection.

This is especially true for his own carvings.

If it were in the past, Max would have just called it a day and found a suitable piece of wood to start again.

But this time, there was some doubt in his eyes.

"I was clearly very focused on this cut, and it should not have made any mistakes. Why... Is it that the gods are conveying some information to me?"

Wizards' intuition is often very sharp. As a first-level liquefied wizard, Max naturally has a very sharp intuition.

He had a vague feeling of something bad in his heart, but he didn't find anything unusual when he reviewed some recent events.

Max thought that his knife was off-center, which was probably a warning from the gods.

He always trusted the gods, and since the gods gave him a hint, he had to do something.

Although Max didn't know where the uneasiness in his heart came from, he knew that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

If he stayed here all the time, there would probably be problems, so what he had to do now was to leave quickly.

Max put down the carving knife, stood up and prepared to leave immediately, without even packing up.

He was a man of action, and he would do whatever he wanted to do directly.

However, just as he was about to open the door and go out, a strong wave of magic came from all around.

Max's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the small attic.

He was about to trigger the witch formation in the attic through his mind, and the entire three-story building was reduced to ashes.

Max's eyes went dark, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

Price appeared behind Max, holding a gray-white transparent chain in his hand. The chain was inserted from the back of Max's neck and deep into his body.

Price pulled the chain slightly, and a gray-white spirit was pulled out of Max's body.

"Fortunately, I was decisive, otherwise you would have succeeded."

The chain in Price's hand bound Max's soul, and at this moment, the soul fell into a sleeping state.

Before Price wanted him to wake up, Max would sleep in the dark.

At this time, outside the small building, a huge golden light column enveloped the entire three-story house.

The magic fluctuation just now came from this witch formation, which can effectively prevent the fluctuation of the battle from affecting the surrounding buildings and residents.

And Price appeared behind Max almost at the same time as the witch formation was activated.

The chain in his hand is a dead spirit witch weapon, which directly bound Max's soul.

Once the soul leaves the body, it is not so easy to return, and Price did not think about letting Max's soul return to the body.

According to the information obtained by Naya, the wood carvings in Luqi's hand are all things that can bewitch people, and are a tool for the Abyss Cult to recruit personnel.

Luqi has been arrested at this time, and has told everything under the wizard's means.

Those snake-headed human-body wood carvings have also been cut open, and indeed a kind of red worm was found inside.

At this point, Max and Luqi's crimes have been completely confirmed.
