Chapter 296 Chain
Late at night, Rucci returned to his door, took out his keys and started to open the door.
He didn't notice that there was a mosquito lying there quietly under the eaves above his head.
And a pair of eyes, through this mosquito, were silently watching all Lu Qi's actions.
Rucci lived in a residential area in a civilian area. In another corner of this residential area, Naya sat in a room and silently watched Rucci's actions.
This house is privately owned by Preuss, and it is just in use for this mission.
Although Lu Qi only lives in a civilian area, the furniture and decorations in his home are particularly luxurious.
Any chair would cost hundreds of gold coins in the market, which was not something ordinary people could afford.
If Lu Qi didn't want to attract too much attention, he would have lived in a wealthy area.
It's just that it's too unusual. He needs to keep a low profile, so he can only rely on the luxurious interior decoration to satisfy his heart.
Lu Qi took out the wooden carvings from the space ring one by one and placed them on the table.
He took out a clean white towel and wiped the wooden carvings carefully one by one, even a little bit of dust was wiped clean.
Under the roof, Naya looked at the wooden carvings through mosquitoes, recorded all the information, and then sent it to Pris.
Prius has been watching the feedback from various subordinates and conducting some evaluation work on action plans.
Herage stayed in the hotel, and he had already seen two or three people lurking around quietly, and their targets seemed to be Max.
There was another person who turned into a shadow, completely integrated into the night, and quickly entered Max's house.
Herage stared closely at Max and found that he had been carving with a carving knife and did not notice the intrusion of the uninvited guest at all.
That person hid his aura so perfectly that if it weren't for Herrag's deep blue environment detection, it would be difficult to notice this person.
After Shaquille entered the house, he did not get too close to Max, but quickly explored the situation inside the house.
After scanning the first and second floors, he discovered the small attic on the third floor, the magic lock on the door and the unknown witch formation behind the door.
Shaquille didn't know the specific effect of the witch formation, so he didn't dare to get close to investigate. He 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 explore the situation. Any extra actions were unnecessary and could not cause unnecessary problems.
…
City Hall, inside Thranduil's building.
Preuss looked at the parchment in his hand, which contained the news reported by various subordinates.
He looked at the news and found that there was no big problem and he was almost ready.
Prius glanced at the busy people in the room and waved: "Start taking action."
A group of people disappeared from the room in an instant, and the noisy office suddenly became silent.
Kawat business district.
Max sat on the ground, concentrating on carving a sunflower.
His hand holding the carving knife was very steady, and every cut was extremely precise and just right.
What was originally just a log has slowly taken the shape of a sunflower.
After carving the general appearance, the next step is to carve the details.
It was a very patient job, but Max was always very patient.
He took a carving knife and began to slowly outline the petals of the sunflower.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but suddenly, there were some deviations in the knife he drew, causing the knife to become crooked.
This deviation basically means that all the previous work is in vain.
This is the difficulty of carving. The further you get to the back, the more careful you need to be. The slightest deviation will cause all previous efforts to be wasted.
Although it could be repaired and made up for, Max has always been a person who pursues perfection.
This is especially true for your own sculptures.
If it were the past, Max would just call it a day and start looking for a suitable piece of wood again.
But this time, there was some doubt in his eyes.
"I was obviously very focused on this stabbing, so it is logical that there would be no mistakes. Why... could it be that the gods were conveying some message to me?"
Wizards' intuitions are often very keen. As a first-level liquefaction wizard, Max naturally has very keen intuitions.
He had some bad feelings in his heart, but looking back on recent events, he didn't find anything unusual.
Max believed that his knife missed the target, which was probably a warning from God.
He has 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 he couldn't sit still and wait for death.
If you stay here all the time, there will probably be problems. What you need to do now is to leave as soon as possible.
Max put down the carving knife, stood up, and was ready to leave here immediately, not even ready to clean up.
He is a man of action and will do whatever he wants.
However, just as he was about to open the door and go out, a strong wave of magic power came from all around.
Max's heartbeat accelerated instantly. He immediately realized something was wrong and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the small attic.
He was about to trigger the witchcraft formation in the attic with his thoughts and turn the entire three-story building into ashes.
As soon as Max's vision went dark, his consciousness fell into darkness.
Pris appeared behind Max, holding a gray-white transparent chain in his hand. The chain was inserted from the back of Max's neck and penetrated deep into his body.
Preuss pulled the chain slightly, and a gray-white spirit was pulled out of Max's body.
"Fortunately, I was decisive enough, otherwise you would have succeeded."
The chain in Prius's hand tied Max's soul, which fell into a deep sleep at this moment.
Max will sleep in the dark until Precious wants him to wake up.
At this time, outside the small building, a huge golden light pillar enveloped the entire three-story residence.
The magic wave just now came from this witch formation, which can effectively prevent the wave of battle from affecting the surrounding buildings and residents.
Prius appeared behind Max almost at the same time that the witch formation was activated.
The chain in his hand is a necromancy weapon that directly binds Max's soul.
Once the soul leaves the body, it is not so easy to go back, and Pris has no intention of letting Max's soul return to the body.
According to what Naya discovered, the wooden carvings in Lu Qi's hands are all things that can confuse people's hearts and are a tool for the development of the Abyss cultists.
Lu Qi had been arrested at this time, and everything had been said under the wizard's methods.
The wooden carvings with snake heads and human bodies were also cut open, and sure enough, a red worm was found inside.
At this point, Max and Lucci's charges have been completely established.
