"What? Own? ”

Hearing this, before Ronald could react, Nicole on the side stepped forward and grabbed the guy's collar first.

"Boy, you're so bold enough!"

"It's okay to commit murder on a boat, and now you want to drag the original book holder into the water?"

Nicole, of course, chose to trust Ronald unconditionally.

But when she was about to further question the murderer in front of her, Nicole's emotional perception spell that she had just turned on told her a detail that could not be ignored - this guy did not lie.

Is there something wrong with your own spells?

Nicole's expression was stunned, and Ronald's performance in the cabin suddenly came to mind.

Could it be that the painter girl really ......

"What nonsense are you talking about, when did I have my own person with you!"

Just when Nicole's mind was in utter confusion, Ronald finally spoke. Feeling also inexplicable, he threw the man in front of him to the ground, and then raised his leg to step on the other party's chest.

"Tell me honestly, what is your purpose?"

"Ahem, ahem—"

The man who was trampled under his feet coughed violently.

It's just that he didn't feel resentful of Ronald's rough treatment at all, and he still had that flattering smile, and this guy explained generously:

"Mr. Ronald, you haven't seen me, so it's normal not to know."

"But Miss Shesta, you won't forget, will you?"

"And the young lady has already said that you will always be a friend of us pure practitioners, and you are definitely your own person with a firm position!"

“……”

"Huh."

Ronald couldn't hold back a laugh.

Because of the misunderstanding in the cabin before, this guy's remarks just now made him nervous. As a result, after a long time, he was a cult warlock with an abnormal brain!

Ronald knew everything in his heart.

Then he moved away and stepped on the other party's foot, and then pointed at Nicole next to him:

"This guy is a cult warlock."

"Nicole, you don't need me to explain more now, do you?"

Nicole also had a sudden realization.

It was not the first time that the investigator girl had dealt with a cult warlock, she used two fingers to quickly write runes, and then at the moment when the cult warlock on the ground had not yet stood up, she bent down and slapped it down.

Smack-

With a slap down, the cult warlock's face was reddened.

And the upper body that he had just done was immediately completely frozen under the control of Nicole's spell, and he could no longer move.

At the same time, the chief engineer, who had witnessed the development of the situation in front of him, now understood that it was really something wrong in their cabin.

As a leader, he absolutely has an unshirkable responsibility to delve into this matter.

So the chief engineer spoke:

"Miss Investigator, he's ......"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine here." Nicole had seen many similar situations as an investigator, and she didn't even need to guess before she spoke very skillfully, "The ability of cult warlocks is beyond the ability of some experienced spellcasters, and it is not your responsibility to be mixed into such an ordinary organization." ”

Nicole's explanation made the chief engineer's expression relax a lot.

However, for the sake of safety, the chief engineer still asked one more question:

"In that case, is there anything I can do to help?"

Nicole immediately replied:

"The time this guy was on the boat, the people who introduced him to work here, the guys who were usually close to him...... It's best to prepare information like this thoroughly, and we'll definitely need to use it later. ”

Hearing that there was still a place to use himself, the chief engineer finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"I see, I'm going to get this information together as quickly as possible."

“……”

After successfully catching the murderer, Ronald and Nicole naturally returned the same way with the cult warlock, while the chief engineer was busy sorting out the information.

On the way back to the cabin above, Nicole took the time to interrogate the news.

So she slapped the cultist on the back of the head again, and the spell to assist the interrogation also took effect:

"Hey, what is your purpose in killing people on the ship?"

Without thinking, the cultist replied:

"This is my spell need, and I must kill people as a sacrifice within a certain period of time."

And then, something even more outrageous happened.

The spells used by Nicole are the types that need to be recast once asked, and the spells that have been valid for a long time have not yet been developed.

But that's it, after answering the explanation, the cult warlock continued to speak confidently:

"But it's kind of weird."

"After I killed the lonely little girl, the activation of the spell had calmed down, and everything showed that my ritual went well. But just now, it suddenly failed again, as if the people I killed suddenly didn't count! ”

“……”

Hear the disgruntled chatter of the cult warlock.

Nicole looked at Ronald, who smiled back in silence.

The two tacitly did not explain the problem to the cult warlock, but Nicole continued to ask:

"It doesn't matter what this kind of thing is."

"Now tell me honestly, what is the purpose of you getting mixed up with this ship!"

“……”

The cult warlock actually looked at Ronald next to him first.

The meaning in that look was clearly asking Ronald whether he should answer the question.

Ronald stiffened his face and said:

"Let's just say it, there are no outsiders here."

Apparently controlled by Nicole, and escorted out.

But after seeing Ronald's actions, the cult warlock did not have any suspicions, and directly showed joy:

"I'm relieved!"

"Actually, I'm just hitchhiking... Take a boat ride to the south of Anrok Island! ”

"Although the road to the south is now open, it is very tortuous along the way, and there are many passes, which is very unsafe. In comparison, no one checked the route on the sea, and at the same time, it was the ruthless character of [Glade] who was responsible for opening the mouth. I can even get a good salary on the premise of being safe! ”

Proceeding from the facts, the cult warlock is really right.

In fact, if he hadn't resisted killing people, as long as he stayed honestly, he would have successfully taken this tailwind!

It's just that for the actual operation of this guy, Ronald still couldn't help but complain:

"So because of this salary, you honestly burn coal in the coal furnace on the ship?"

The cultist warlock showed a big smile:

"Mr. Paprool once said, 'You get what you work for!'"

“……”

Compared to Ronald's complaints, Nicole was more sensitive to the information revealed by the cult warlock, so she asked directly:

"Go on, what are you going to Anro Island for?"

The cultist warlock naturally continued:

"Because Anroe Island is the gateway to the Rooney Kingdom, it is already our paradise!"
