Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

"You understand?" Yuan Taiyi looked at her in surprise, "Isn't it all impossible to draw... What do you understand?"

"It's because I can't paint that I understand." Izumi Saori turned around and continued to look at the room, but this time there seemed to be stars in her eyes, and she was no longer as confused as before when she saw everything in the room.

"Everything in this room is not allowed to change the appearance, because the crux of the problem lies in these appearances. The puzzle is not for us to find what items, what props to combine, or to study what should be painted on those blank paintings. It's the decoration and arrangement of this room! The problem lies in the room itself!"

"Go on!" Hino Minoru's eyes lit up, and the girl's words sounded a bit convoluted, but to him, it was not so difficult to understand. Following Izumi Saori's train of thought, he also gradually touched the messy place. connection between objects.

"He really didn't lie to us, what he said is true. All the clues are in this room."

The girl observed the house while talking, and every piece of furniture was reflected in the depths of her pupils. At this moment, her brain was running fast, searching for her past knowledge, the more she thought about it, the clearer it became, a mystery was slowly unfolding before her eyes.

"These large and small oil painting frames were supposed to be portraits. This is the habit of the ancient nobles. They would draw portraits of the famous figures in their family history and hang them on the wall to highlight the history of their family. Now these The picture frames are all blank, not because the other party wanted us to find out what was drawn in those blank picture frames, but because the other party felt that the orientation of these portraits was very obvious and would reveal the mystery, so the other party erased the content of these portraits Don’t want to give us this part of the information.”

She talked to those blank picture frames, and her tone gradually became more confident.

"But this is self-defeating, because we are just ordinary high school students, and we are not art majors. In fact, we don't have the ability to appreciate oil paintings. The skill of 'identifying the person in the portrait according to the oil painting is who in history' It's too high-end, and it's not within our ability at all. But the other party still chose to erase the portrait when he knew about these things, which can only explain one thing—"

"The people in these portraits are very famous!" Hino Minoru immediately understood, and immediately went on to the next sentence, "So famous that even if we are only high school students, the other party still worries that we will recognize them."

"The kind of person whose portraits will appear in textbooks?" Yuan Taiyi was taken aback for a moment, he was not as knowledgeable as the two around him, but his grades were not bad, "That would make the scope much smaller."

"I still have to live in this kind of house. The walls are painted with spices, the blankets are made of cashmere, decorated with glass, and decorated with gold..." Izumi Saori continued to talk, and she was also thinking while talking, and continued to synthesize all the information around her.

"Even from a modern point of view, the decoration of this room can be called luxurious, let alone for an ancient building. From the structural point of view, this room is just a study room, but it belongs to a certain big building Part of it. Then the whole building... I am afraid that the palace is nothing more than this."

"The scope can be narrowed down almost directly to the royal families of various countries. At least it is also a person or event that has a strong connection with the royal family. The decoration here has strong characteristics of the times, and we can further narrow the scope..."

Hino touched his chin and said in thought.

"However, even if we deduce it here, we don't know how to proceed. To be honest, even if we know that this scene is a puzzle, it's still hard to imagine what we should answer."

"It can't be that something happened here?" When Hino said this, he shivered as if thinking of something, "This scene is a famous scene in history. There was an assassination. We guessed it here After finding out where it was, I thought I had solved the mystery, but found that I had to repeat the assassination to leave here. I also had to face the choice of life and death, and I fell from heaven to hell in an instant."

"You really have a rich imagination...Maybe you are more suitable to be a screenwriter than a detective?" The boy's laughter sounded at the right time, and he could be heard smiling in relief.

"But I didn't give out such a puzzle. As long as you can solve it, you can leave smoothly."

"Are you reminding us? Are you taking the initiative to remind us?" Izumi Saori's eyes froze when she heard this, "Why? You don't seem to have such a position at all!"

"Who knows?" the boy smiled, just hearing the voice, he seemed to be able to imagine his shrugging on the other side of the void, "Maybe I'm misleading you? Maybe I'm just telling lies? Or maybe I just said it casually Say? There are all kinds of possibilities, how can you assume that I am just reminding you?"

"...At least you don't seem to have any malicious intentions."

Izumi Saori was a little silent, she stared at the nothingness in front of her eyes, and even stopped for a while. For thinking about the puzzle in front of you, you must pursue this issue hard.

"Malicious? No, no, no, no, no, don't get me wrong, of course I have, I have a lot of malice." The boy smiled, as the questioner, he was talking to them so leisurely, in his words What was said seemed to be an ordinary chat, but the tone was chilling.

"It's just that the malice is not aimed at you. I just want to comfort you. As I said, I want to give everyone a comforting dream."

"...It's not aimed at us? Who is it aimed at?" Izumi Saori's expression changed suddenly, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked some key factors, "Wait, are you still targeting other people now? What do you want?" What are you doing? What the hell are you?"

"What the hell am I? It's really a philosophical question." But the boy just laughed, and the laughter rose slightly. "But instead of focusing on this, let's focus on the problem in front of you. At this moment, all three problems have been activated at the same time. If you can solve this problem, maybe I can tell you part of the truth."

"……I see."

Izumi Saori took a deep breath, knowing that there would be no further answer until this puzzle was solved. So she turned her head to look at the two boys next to her, and said anxiously:

"Don't be dazed, take a closer look at the things in this room, and see if there are any other iconic features. We have to solve the problem here as soon as possible."

She frowned, and when she spoke, she stepped on the ground lightly, with strong anxiety.

"I have a bad feeling. Maybe all of us have been deceived, not only us, but also the people in the search bureau, and even those behind us! We must solve this matter quickly, otherwise..."

"Maybe there's something else waiting for us!"

...

at the same time.

"Tsk!"

Standing on the stairs and running hastily, he saw Shenxiu kicking up and kicking out a man who was climbing up the handrail of the stairs. Then, without even looking at his fall, he turned his hand and drew his sword to attack the enemy behind him. , cut him off in the air with a knife. At this moment, a vague figure flashed by his side, knocking out a man who was rushing from the side. These attackers disintegrated in mid-air, splashing out ink-like black liquid, and the entire corridor was covered with that black slime, flowing down the stairs like a stream.

But even if the two counterattacked so sharply, they could not ease their situation. More figures attacked them overwhelmingly. On higher floors, some people even jumped from the corridor to their floor. Launching an exaggerated attack, those people descended from the sky like spiders, attacking from all directions.

"No, it can't go on like this."

Facing a large number of sieges on open flat ground is tantamount to seeking death. After weighing the pros and cons, the two immediately chose to rush into the small building and use the terrain to annihilate the enemy. But these people are not simple monsters. Once they are fatally wounded, they will immediately collapse like a water mill, turn into smoke at the back of the crowd, re-condense, and attack them again. Seeing that Shenxiu rushed into the building to take advantage of the terrain, but at this moment, because of the narrow terrain, they gradually showed signs of being blocked in the middle.

"The killing will never stop like this, I will break the way, you go up and have a look!"

"yes!"

The figure of the young man disappeared like a shadow, climbed up along the wall, ran wildly in the shadows, and continued to walk upwards according to Jian Shenxiu's words. And seeing Shenxiu holding a knife in both hands, blocking the stairway with a majestic mountain, and countless monsters rushing forward, he couldn't get over the thunder.

Among those who besieged them, many of them were even acquainted with Jian Shenxiu. They were all residents near this resort, and Jian Shenxiu had communicated with many of them during the investigation of Weifu. But at this moment, these people have turned into monsters, attacking them over and over again, being killed and attacking again, endlessly. Jian Shenxiu no longer remembered how many times he had repelled these people, but he only remembered that the owner of the Tamagoyaki shop had been killed by him more than four times.

"Hoo hoo hoo..."

It was only ten minutes of continuous fighting, but it seemed to be longer than an hour. Even if he saw Shenxiu, he could clearly feel that his physical fitness was declining, and the continuous fighting had already caused him to breathe heavily. And Marchesias, who went to investigate, passed for several minutes, but still hadn't brought any rewards.

"Owner!"

Finally, when Shenxiu swung a knife to kill the boss for at least the sixth time, a voice finally came from the stairs, and Markesias shouted from a certain position above, sending a key message.

"The top floor of the building has a lighted door marked with a number 3!"

"Then kill them first!"

Seeing that Shenxiu's eyes lit up, he immediately turned over and left the battlefield, and ran along the stairs to meet Markesias. But at the same time as the voice of Markesias sounded, more enemies began to attack them, and there were endless monsters rushing out of the corridor on the top floor. Gate" is opened.

But... the number 3? Does it mean they are the third wave of people coming in?

Seeing Shenxiu, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart.

There is a wave of them, there is a wave of people from the Guitan Investigation Agency...then there is another wave...

Who is it?
