024 I have seen this way(1/2)
Masha and others were taken to the main hall building.
Masha was originally influenced by his name, but he thought he would see some ancient building, but it turned out to be an extremely modern building of more than 70 stories high.
Moreover, the design of this building is much more science fiction than the famous buildings on Earth that Masha knew about.
——Okay, think about it carefully, this world is so developed that it should not be surprising that there are any strange buildings.
——After all, people may use magic directly to make the building grow out of the ground.
The next stage was far more time than Masha expected - he thought he would have left after a program after coming in and going through a few dozen minutes.
However, Masha stayed in the VIP reception room for several hours.
"This should be to protect us in this way. Something big must have happened outside. I am afraid that we young ladies and young masters will be involved in the battle between the great mages." Du Meilan, who was also staying in the VIP room, analyzed this way.
Li Cheng, who was sitting opposite the couple of Masha, nodded: "I guess so, my strongest combat power in my family is my brother. Now he must not move at the commander's position in the Daying of the Commander. I really didn't stay in this hall when I got home."
Du Meilan asked in confusion: "There should be a lot of defensive magic and barriers in Lord Li's residence, right?"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Where is, how can you compare to this place?"
Liang Yifan lay on a sofa, crossed his legs, and took over Li Cheng's words: "The design standards of this hall are a complete military standard. Once our Dahua Empire and the Amiliga Federation go into full war, it will directly become a fortress, echoing the commander-in-chief of the sea state outside the city. As the center of the large barrier, it resists Amiliga's strategic magic."
——Amiliga? This pronunciation is a bit familiar. Is it the different time and space homotopic of that country?
——But I have seen the map. The terrain of this world is completely different from that of the earth. Can Amiriga still form?
Masha listened quietly to everyone's conversation.
Liang Yifan turned over and sat up, shouting: "So boring!"
Then he took out his cell phone and took out a deck of playing cards - it should be playing cards, and Masha was not sure.
"Come and play a few games!" Liang Yifan said, looking at Masha with his eyes.
Masha glanced at Du Meilan.
Du Meilan immediately responded telepathically: "Do you don't remember the rules? OK, I'll tell you, it's very simple."
——It means you can go over and play.
Masha moved down to sit and faced Liang Yifan across the coffee table.
Liang Yifan looked at Li Cheng: "Will Mr. Li come?"
Li Cheng nodded: "Okay, let's play a few games of fighting scientists."
——Huh? Dou, Dou scientist?

At this time, a real scientist was sitting in the interrogation room on the 20th floor above Masha and their floor, watching the dinner provided by the witch hunters.
"I'm really giving me vegetables and rice? The food in Dimension Prison is pretty good. This guy, Ma Zili, hasn't seen a big conscience break down for several years."
Lan Ping muttered, picked up a vegetable with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, took a few bites, and spit it out again.
"The fried food is so old! How can I eat hard ones!"
He sighed and began to throw the rice into his mouth with chopsticks.
Just then, the door opened.
Chen Guangda came in first, followed by Ma Zili, and finally the largest official here: Lord Li, the governor of Haizhou.
Lan Ping looked strange and said, "Oh, Lord Li is here in person. I can't run away. Why do you have the nerve to bother Lord Li to come to guard alone in person?"
Lord Li bowed to Lan Ping: "Professor Lan was joking. I, Mr. Li, am not good at fighting and specialize in investigating things. If you want to fight with you, I, Mr. Li, may not be useful."
Lan Ping smiled and said, "Mr. Li is modest." Suddenly, his tone changed and his face changed: "So, have you caught it?"
Chen Guangda shook his head: "When we arrived, the prefect Wang Yisheng had already escaped. We detained everyone in his mansion, including his son Wang Dongsheng."
"I have said a long time ago that you should have raided the laboratory I provided to us and immediately arrest Wang Yisheng, don't worry about the arrest warrants and search warrants, and take action first and then report. Now, let's go, the person is running."
Ma Zili: "We have done a very secretive job..."
"This means there is an insider inside you, it's obvious." Lan Ping spread his hands, "So, who is the target of magic?"
Ma Zili: "We didn't catch Wang Yisheng, so we don't know."
"Stop making trouble. Whoever dies suddenly and strangely, then he is the target of magic. So, who is dead?"
Chen Guangda frowned: "Professor Lan, we found the last corpse of the sacrifice three hours ago. Your news is so fast. And... do you actually have a way to contact the outside world?"
Lan Ping: "Does you still need to contact the outside world? Just look at your expressions and you can guess that you are inconsistent."
Chen Guangda didn't say anything anymore.
Ma Zili turned his head to look at Lord Li, and Lord Li cleared his throat: "This is the problem. In theory, magic should have been activated, but it has been three hours now. Including the time before we discovered the body, it may have been four hours. But we have not confirmed the death of any adult who is valuable to use this level of magic to assassinate.
"In fact, no member of the family of the marquis died in these three hours, nor any official of the grade or the family of the official died. We initially suspect that this magic was not activated."
Lan Ping: "So it was wrong to cast the spell?"
Lord Li and Ma Zili looked at each other.
Chen Guangda didn't say anything beside him, and he looked clueless - there was no flaw at all.
Lord Li said, "Well, Professor Lan, as the saying goes, send Buddha to the West..."
"You want us to intervene? Don't do this. The witch hunters are watching. Where do you let their faces go?" Lan Ping shook his head repeatedly. "Now they are only willing to give me vegetables and rice, and then embarrass them. Before being sent to the Dimension Prison, I am afraid I can only drink water to fill my stomach."
Ma Zili: "But if we can't catch Wang Yisheng, our transaction will be invalid. Damn, he even came to my house in the morning. Why didn't I find him a bastard at that time?"
Ma Zili suddenly became excited and gave himself a big mouth.
"He went to your house? Then how do you prove that you are not his accomplice?" Lan Pingxiao looked at Ma Zili with interest, "Ah, I understand. It is because of this that you are in a hurry to catch him. But these have nothing to do with me, my mission has been completed."
"Is it really done?" Lord Li asked with a sneer.
"Really." Lan Ping looked sincere.
Lord Li slapped the table, stood up and turned around and left.
Marquis Ma followed closely behind.
Chen Guangda did not follow immediately. He looked at Lan Ping who was playing with chopsticks thoughtfully, and only quickly left the interrogation room after a few seconds.
In the observation room next to the interrogation room, Lord Li said to Marquis Ma: "He must have some plans. These Frankenstein are crazy and intelligent, so they must be planning something bad."
Ma Zili nodded.
Lord Li continued: "Your son was assassinated today, which is also very strange. Assassin was silenced, there was no result in psychic communication, and divination was completely ineffective. If this depends on what your annoying guy did, it would be too well prepared. What is the situation in the assassin's house?"
Lord Li turned his head and looked at Chen Guangda.
Chen Guangda immediately replied: "The house has been searched, and not all the assassin's blood relatives were left. Now we are counting their home items and intelligence information."
Lord Li nodded: "I feel that there is any connection between this incident and the serial murder case."
"What can we have a connection? Our magic experts have repeatedly confirmed that the ceremony has been completed. Although we still have a dead person who has not been found, it may have been eaten by a group of rats underground. This is not a strange thing. They killed my son, not only will they not let the magic that has not been activated, but they may even fail because of the excessive killing."
Magic is a sophisticated technology that has strict requirements on the activation process.
Spells that require tribute must provide just the right tribute, and it is not enough to have more or less.
So Ma Zili's words were just to state the facts, not to excuse his son - of course those who have ulterior motives would not think so, but now here are pragmatists who want to solve the most difficult crisis at present.
The magic that has not been launched, as long as it cannot be fully confirmed that it has failed, it will hang like a Shangfang sword above everyone's heads. This is not a good time to fight a faction with deceitful faction.
At this time, Chen Guangda suddenly said: "I have an idea. If the little marquis is really the key to the magic being not activated, the other party will definitely come and kill him again. We can set a trap."
"You want to use my son as bait?" Ma Zili was furious, "You can let me die and sacrifice my life for the country, but don't want to touch my son! But..."
Ma Zili took a deep breath and continued without waiting for Lord Li to comfort him: "You are right. On the other hand, if no one comes to assassinate my son again, it will prove that these are two isolated incidents. Moreover, for the enemy, they must now think about activating magic at all costs. Even if they know that this may be a trap and know that we may have equipped elite soldiers and strong generals, they will also attack."
Lord Li nodded at Ma Zili's expression: "Mr. Marquis is indeed very wise. After this matter is over, Li should report to the Prime Minister's Mansion truthfully."
Chen Guangda acted like a planner to give advice: "I think this is possible. I will release the commander in front of Lai Fu. Anyway, the basic procedures have been completed. Although there is still suspicion, I don't think he was silenced. In this way, he will stay by the little marquis."
Ma Zili: "Is that injured retired witch hunter? Well, that's OK."
Chen Guangda's mouth curled up slightly, showing an undetectable smile.
"Then I'll arrange it now..."
"Not busy," Lord Li interrupted Chen Guangda's words, "It's too obvious to arrange for home now. And if the little marquis is really the key to the magic being activated, we should protect him for a while, at least until tomorrow morning. Maybe after tonight, we will find Wang Yisheng."
Chen Guangda nodded: "What you said is very true. So, are we going to leave all the witnesses who brought to the main hall to the excuse that there may be any changes tonight? This is more natural."
"Very good, arrange accommodation, don't treat the young masters and ladies unfairly." Lord Li waved his hand and made a decision.

Masha shivered.
——What’s going on? I suddenly felt nervous just now. Is someone planning to me? Is this the ability I get by inserting two implants?
Whenever Masha encounters any movement, he will suspect that it is his passive skill - he may be the first person in the history of this world to insert two implants without being crazy, so it is normal to obtain unprecedented abilities.
His "vegetables and trees are all soldiers" are not asking for trouble, because the ongoing "scientist" game is once again proved that he has indeed obtained something different.
Masha could feel something was wrong with the two opponents.
