Chapter 353 Observation and Recording
The time came to six o'clock, and the sun in Springs had not yet risen from the east.
It was about three quarters of an hour before the first ray of dawn appeared on the horizon.
so.
Ronald is out.
After dealing with the issues of Lumil and the original text of "The Divine Comedy", the thing he is most concerned about now is the "Nine Rings Secret Meeting".
Tonight, an original code holder was killed by himself.
If he acted in time, he might be able to find out something more interesting.
Just like Lumiel said, she didn't know much information as a 'sample'.
But what about 'stars'?
As the holder of the original text of the "Nine Rings Secret Society" and even shouldering important tasks, the 'Star' could never be as ignorant as Lumil.
Also in the riverside area, taking advantage of the last three quarters of an hour.
Ronald was not willing to give up the possibility of obtaining information from this.
So according to Heloise, he opened the small mouth of the glass bottle containing the blood-striped butterfly, and then poured his magic power and the blood of his enemy into it.
The desired target is naturally the secret residence of the 'star'.
Under Ronald's gaze, the blood-red butterfly gradually accepted his magic power, and then stretched out its mouthparts to suck the blood in front of it.
"Squeak--"
Soon, a very strange and subtle cry came from the blood-striped butterfly.
Then it crawled out of the bottle mouth little by little. This insect filled with abnormal aura came to Ronald's hand, and then stretched out its wrinkled wings.
At this time, Ronald noticed that the human face pattern on the butterfly's wings began to change.
In almost two breaths.
The pattern finally turned into the exact same shape as the 'star'!
——Then the face that carries the 'astral body'.
——The butterfly flew away.
Following Ronald's request, it began to fly towards its mission goal.
Ronald immediately followed the butterfly and walked towards a strange area in the riverside area.
——The
riparian area is quite large.
During his time living in Springs, Ronald was only familiar with the environment near his residence and his commute to and from get off work.
So when I came to a strange apartment.
He first looked around out of curiosity.
Carried by the Blood-striped Butterfly, Ronald is now located in a residential area in the northern part of the riverbank area.
This place is similar to where Ronald lives. They are both adjacent apartment buildings. Perhaps the biggest difference is that you can't see the Vis River running day and night.
And go all the way deeper.
Finally, in front of the apartment with the house number [111 Clary Street], the flight path of the Blood-striped Butterfly turned around, and then got in through the second-floor window of the apartment.
Looking up at the room slightly, Ronald murmured in a low voice:
"Is this right here..."
There are basically no working class people living in the riverside area.
So before the sun rises, there are almost no people on the streets.
After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Ronald bent his knees slightly with the idea of testing his physique, and then suddenly jumped up with all his strength.
Whoosh -
the standing high jump exceeded nearly three meters.
It should exceed the world record by more than one meter, right?
With a flash of wonder in his mind, Ronald stretched out his hand and clasped it on the window edge, and then pinched the hinge of the window with two fingers.
Bang -
the hinge is broken.
The hinge, which was entirely made of metal, broke instantly like a chocolate bar under the twist of Ronald's two fingers.
There was no hindrance at all.
Ronald entered the room smoothly.
Looking around, a smile from the bottom of his heart immediately appeared on his face:
"I really hit the jackpot."
The blood-striped butterfly that Heloise gave him was currently resting on the desk in this room. Although the color has dimmed by nearly a third, it is obviously still waiting for Ronald to recover it.
——And besides that.
——The thing that really made Ronald happy came.
There is no problem with the general structure of the room.
However, many decorations are damaged.
The statue on the table was shattered, the picture hanging on the wall was broken, the padlock on the door fell off...
things like these should be replaced after damage.
You can see it almost everywhere in the house.
Ronald happened to have some understanding of the phenomenon in front of him.
It was different from the self-discipline defense array I encountered last time at Elva's house.
This is setting up a defensive array that can feedback information to the owner at any time and can be controlled remotely.
There is only this kind of magic circle that is closely connected with the master.
Only after the master dies will he lose control and then collapse within a short period of time!
Then things are simple.
This is the residence where the 'star' usually lives, so it will undergo such changes after the death of the owner.
And a magic circle that can be controlled remotely is set up.
It also most likely means that there is something here that the 'star' doesn't want to be discovered.
——The original code holder of [Nine Rings Secret Society] wants to keep it secret.
——Isn’t that what Ronald wants to know!
Looking at the orderly room except for these things, Ronald released the black mist and began to explore the room. At the same time, he walked to the desk and carefully recovered the blood-striped butterfly.
This time I made my trip in time.
The people from the [Nine Rings Secret Society] didn’t have time to respond, and the people from the Investigation Bureau didn’t notice the situation inside the house.
Ronald was the first one to come here!
Leaning gently against the wall and watching the black mist working independently, Ronald nodded with satisfaction:
"A code holder who is responsible for collecting information and responding to emergencies should have something of sufficient weight, right? "
..."
Almost five minutes.
The preliminary inspection of the black mist is completed.
After leaving two hidden cells still protected by spells, the industrious spell presented its discovery to Ronald.
Several pages filled with text are stacked together.
This is an investigative report in progress.
So looking at the things in front of him, Ronald read in a low voice:
"Record 18 -
The target of observation is definitely not Ronald Adler himself.
The daily behavior habits, the spell system used, and the terrifying maid are all... Without him around, the target can only be judged as 'unknown'!"
"..."
"Record fifty-six -
unimaginable speed of cracking the original scripture.
This monster can even pass multiple original scripture trials in such a short time, [Scroll The abnormal events of the Research Association were also solved by it through trials, which is incomprehensible..." "
Record 73 -
The Investigation Bureau sent people to the door to inquire, and the observation was temporarily suspended.
It is currently suspected that the target is aware of part of our intentions. .
From a personal perspective and from an organizational perspective, I think it should be shot dead. Even if it is controlled and used as a 'sample' for observation, it is very risky..." The written record ends here
.
It can be seen that the work of 'Star' was interrupted by an unexpected incident before the recording of today was finished.
And see Ronald here.
I don't know what expression to make about this.
[Take a day off tomorrow to do the necessary socializing at the beginning of the month! 】
