Chapter 159 Death Hotel

There is no doubt.

The "inspector" sent by the Waste Development Bureau to inspect Robert is definitely not normal.

He was not from the position of a fair and impartial inspector, but was hostile to Roland and his party from the very beginning.

Roland stood with his back to everyone, his eyes were cold.

In the hands of the staff of the Waste Bureau, the witchcraft of the Old City can only be used to detect those suspected "camp hiders"—for example, people like Roland who have the characteristics of "noble hypocrisy".

The witchcraft of this virtual situation can test their real alignment by their attitude towards a destroyed hotel.

Now go back and think about the characteristics of the witchcraft of "Old Cities"—

Using historically destroyed buildings as spellcasting materials, the scene of the time before the buildings were destroyed will be reproduced.If the crisis of destruction is not resolved before the "countdown" reaches zero, it will be destroyed together with the building as if it were in history.

In other words, the way out of the illusion is to "see through the hidden danger" and "zealously resolve it".

Roland thought that with his many years of experience, he could easily see through this illusion, but now Roland finally realized that it was impossible.

Just as it is impossible to wake a person who pretends to be asleep, it is impossible to solve a puzzle without a prepared answer.

After this inspector used the Waste Bureau's magic circle to unleash this witchcraft on Roland and his group, he immediately greatly distorted the "plot" of the hotel itself, causing Roland and the others to see a pile of corpses as soon as they entered. An "NPC" that can be queried and given messages.

The purpose of this inspector is to prevent Robert from recalling the history of the inn with the help of these NPC prompts, and take this opportunity to release the illusion.

After all, Robert said that he often comes to Iron Curtain City.If he saw the news that the "Gargoyle Hotel" was destroyed for some reason in the newspaper one day when he was riding in the car, or happened to hear about it when he was chatting with him, then the inspector thought of it with all his pains. The killing method is over before it begins.

He—or rather, she targeted at the very beginning, Robert, who he thought was "well-informed".But after Roland said that he had seen similar witchcraft before, the inspector immediately panicked.

In order to make Roland fall into a panic first, he immediately set up a series of targeted agencies based on Roland's understanding of this witchcraft and "female identity".

According to Roland's guess, what this person aimed at at the beginning was to make himself attracted by the sound of the knocking on the door, and the moment he walked behind the door, a murderer in black flashed by, and he shot blood from his eyes. The game makes Roland panic - preferably enough to scream and then collapse to the ground paralyzed.

But he was obviously disrupted by Robert's "heroic act".

In fact, when Robert was blasted back by the air blast, this set of chained fears had already lost its power.

It was also at this time that Roland realized that the inspector had his own thoughts.

Because even if Robert is a spy sent by Titan, but he has a noble status, the White Tower cannot kill him directly.Otherwise, relying on his flaws, the trash bureau would have killed him more than ten times.

It is precisely because of this that the Waste Bureau came to monitor and conduct camp detection on the people Robert had come into contact with.

Under the normal process, Roland and the others should enter a hotel with no plot changes, and then discover the "signs of disaster" inside the hotel without knowing anything about their own situation, and solve them to prevent the disaster from coming.

In this case, Roland and the others will naturally survive.And if they refuse to save their lives or even add insult to injury, it means that they are definitely not kind-hearted professionals.

And a professional on the non-kind side somehow bypassed the faction detection enchantment at the city gate and sneaked into the White Tower, and even met Robert, a spy. The IQ of the staff of the Waste Bureau.

However, the witchcraft of the Old City is not allowed to be used to kill people.The Waste Bureau is not bad at killing people like this.

Anvilia's restraint of the alcoholic chief is one thing. On the other hand, the old city is the core defense method of one of the three fortresses of the White Tower while testing the faction of those who are initially suspicious. .

The only fortification in Baiyuan City is the large old city barrier covering the whole city.And everyone knows that Baiyuan City has a large-scale illusion enchantment that covers the entire city with unknown effects—in a sense, because of this illusion with unknown effects, it is more terrifying than here in Iron Curtain City.

In fact, there are quite a few accessories with void resistance effects, especially Bantha and Elcate.If there are any survivors who reveal the news about the Old City, to Elcarter's undead army, the southern fortress of the White Tower is as weak as a nightingale stripped naked and paid enough money, without any resistance ability.

Besides, with the White Tower's methods, extracting memories from corpses was just a common occurrence.

Even if the people who come here really have malicious intentions, using the old city to annihilate them in the void means that there is no possibility of extracting the information contained in the corpse.

At the same time, An Ruosi, who was closer to Roland, was a disciple of the Star Caller.In his capacity, even if he is investigated, he will definitely be put under house arrest before the investigation is made public, instead of being imprisoned in the "Old City" where the plot has been tampered with for no reason.

Connecting these clues, the truth will be revealed——

This is just a trainee wizard who has just graduated and joined the Waste Bureau. He wants to use this half-knowledgeable murder weapon to avenge Robert and An Ruosi.

Roland and the three of them were just implicated.To use a more advanced word - that is called silence.

"A personal grievance..."

Roland murmured, then turned around and asked An Ruosi and Robert loudly without hesitation: "An Ruosi! Mr. Robert! Are there any wizards in the White Tower who have enmity with you two at the same time?"

What he got was unexpected.

An Ruosi and Robert looked at each other, and then looked at Roland with complicated eyes.

"...There are many people who have grudges against the two of us."

At last it was Robert who spoke first.

"Oh?" Roland looked horrified, "That's all for Mr. Robert...why does An Ruosi offend people?"

This time it was Robert who looked at Roland and then at An Ruosi, but was still speechless.

"...Yes, Natalia's question..."

An Ruosi hesitated to speak.But just after hearing him say the beginning, Roland understood what was going on.

But because of this, the anger in Roland's heart became more intense.

——Just because of this trivial matter between boyfriend and girlfriend, Roland got shot in the face with brains and eyeballs?
Not only that, he also wanted to kill Roland directly!
"You really don't learn well at a young age..."

Roland's eyes were cold, and the haze in his eyes finally turned into a huge phantom eyeball that jumped out of his eye sockets and projected behind Roland.

"Then An Ruosi, is there anyone who has a great affection for Natalia and a considerable dislike for you and Mr. Robert at the same time? Oh, by the way, it is best to be familiar with the witch A crafty knife wizard, the kind who just graduated months or even weeks ago—"

"Ok?"

An Ruosi and Robert are not stupid.

Hearing Roland ask this level, the two of them suddenly realized something.

"...There really is one."

An Ruosi frowned and nodded: "The man's name is..."

Before he could speak clearly, a huge explosion sounded from the ceiling and interrupted his words.

Suddenly, several huge chandeliers fell to the ground.The candles fell, and the flames instantly ignited the entire wall.

A pungent smell immediately spread in the sealed hotel, and the temperature in the air began to rise.

Roland laughed instead.

"Knowing that you have been exposed, do you want to kill us directly because of embarrassment?"

His voice was cold and sweet: "Are you calling this stupid and reckless idea... decisive?"

As if in response to Roland's taunt, the floor beneath his feet exploded!

"Hellland!"

exclaimed Robert.

As soon as he raised his right hand to cast a spell, he turned his head and saw An Ruosi watching Roland being submerged by the explosion with a flat face and feeling nothing, and could not help but yell angrily: "An Ruosi, you..."

"Don't worry. She will be fine with this level of high temperature."

An Ruosi turned around as if nothing had happened and patted Robert on the shoulder.

Before Robert could understand what this sentence meant, a bone-piercing icy wind howled and spread from the place where Roland was standing before.

"You idiot, you want me to teach you..." Roland's voice came from the wind, but it was colder than the cold wind——

"—What do you mean, an instant explosion?"
