Fontaine Grand Stage, come if you are destined to

Chapter 67: The Missing Body

The three of them looked at the dilapidated house in front of them, feeling a little nervous.

If Luo Fan is really related to the mysterious organization they speculated, then their next actions would be very dangerous.

Linnet broke the door lock, then nodded to Linny and Charlotte, and then her figure disappeared in the wind right in front of the two of them.

Linnie and Charlotte waited anxiously for a moment, and Linnett appeared in the house and gestured to them that everything was normal.

Then the three of them lowered their voices, entered the room and began to investigate.

The layout of the room was very simple. Apart from some piles of parts and materials, there seemed to be nothing else.

The three of them looked at each other, then carefully checked the various metal materials scattered around the room, and were very careful not to let them make any noise due to collision.

Although Luo Fan and the indigenous people of Huihe have already left, if their reasoning is correct, then there is a chance that someone will remain in this place.

Not long after, the three of them thoroughly explored the pile of metal materials and found nothing unusual.

However, this was also within the expectations of the three. They also did not think that Luo Fan would be so arrogant as to leave the clues in the open.

Then the three of them began to look for a secret room in the room. Sure enough, Linnie soon found a relatively clean spot on the ground, so he patted it with his hand.

After noticing something unusual, Linnie gestured to the other two, and Charlotte and Linnet came over.

The three of them groped around on the ground for a while, and Linnet soon found that she had touched a subtle bulge. She twisted her hand slightly, and a gap appeared on the ground. She could vaguely see a staircase extending diagonally downward inside.

The three of them felt even more depressed when they saw this scene. It seemed that they were getting closer to the truth.

After gesturing to each other to remind others to be careful, Linnie walked in front, Charlotte was in the middle, and Linnet kept an eye on the situation behind, and the three of them continued to move forward along the stairs.

When they were halfway through the journey, the three of them vaguely heard the roar of some machines coming from the front, and there were some faint lights ahead.

When the three of them reached the end of the stairs, they came to a very spacious room full of light. Looking at the machines running in front of them, they felt a little confused.

Judging from the finished products on the ground, this place is surprisingly normal except for being a little bit tortured.

That's right, this place is for processing weapons.

After making sure that there was no one else in the place, Linnie spoke to Charlotte and Linnet.

"Check if there are any abnormalities in these machines, especially those that have stopped working."

After hearing Linnie's arrangement, Charlotte and Linnet nodded, and then the three of them began to explore the room.

The answer is of course no abnormalities. After learning the result, Linny touched his chin with one hand and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, even Linny himself began to doubt his speculation. Maybe he really had wronged a good man?

But that shouldn't be possible. Currently, all clues point to this mysterious man. His speculation shouldn't be wrong.

What exactly was the omission?

Could it be that the other party did not hide the secret in his own home, but somewhere else?

This result made Charlotte feel relieved and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, Mr. Grete is a good man. It seems that our reasoning was wrong."

"I knew that Miss Navia was quite capable. How could the person she recognized and followed be related to the serial suicide murderer?"

"here."

Linnet's voice attracted the attention of Linny and Charlotte. They came to Linnet one after another, and then Linny asked.

"Linnet, did you find anything?"

"There are still rooms here."

Seeing Linnet pointing at the wall, this discovery shocked both Linnie and Charlotte.

Perhaps the other party was too confident, and the entrance to the second secret room was not even as complicated as the first one. The three of them just pushed the wall lightly, and the wall flipped over, and the three of them entered the room.

As soon as they entered the room, the three of them smelled a pungent odor.

The three of them held their breath nervously, and only relaxed after confirming that there was no danger.

There was no light in the room, so the three of them naturally couldn't risk looking for the light switch. Linny directly took out a card with a lantern on it, and then took out the lantern from the card with his other hand. Linette did the same thing. Charlotte was stunned by this scene.

Seeing Charlotte's stunned look, Linnie couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

“It’s magic.”

"Oh."

See if I believe it or not!

"Hehehe."

Linnie looked at the expression on Charlotte's face and knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but chuckle twice.

This is indeed a magic trick, but he is not going to explain the principle. Being able to shock the audience with his magic show is something that satisfies Linnie.

"elder brother."

"understood."

After hearing Linnet's reminder, Linnie also restrained the expression on his face.

"Now let's take a look at the true face of the man named Gretel."

The three of them walked forward along the corridor again. This time the corridor was not long, and they soon arrived at the next room.

When Linny and Linnette shone the light of their lanterns in front of them, the expressions on the three people's faces suddenly became extremely shocked.

Gretel, they saw many Gretels!

These "Gretts" are in huge glass jars, with their eyes closed, quietly soaking in light green liquid. Numbers are written on the bottom of the glass jars.

Among them, the glass jars from "1" to "5" are empty, and there is a "Grete" in each of the glass jars from "6" to "9". They seem to be asleep. In addition, the three people also saw four identical corpses sealed with transparent glass in the corner.

Then in another corner there was a pile of alchemical materials and tools, on which there seemed to be solidified dark brown bloodstains.

There are some extremely strange patterns painted on the wall next to it.

The scene before them made the three of them shudder. Although they had been mentally prepared, they still couldn't remain calm until they discovered the truth.

What made the three people feel most terrified was that if those glass jars corresponded to the number of bodies, then in addition to the body numbered "5" that was currently with Navia, there were three bodies lying in the sealed glass boxes.

So, what about the other body?

Chapter 68 Charlotte Restores Hope

After an intense search, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief after finding nothing dangerous in the room.

When they saw that one body was missing, they even felt that the missing body would appear behind them in the next second and attack them.

Thankfully, that didn't happen.

After making sure it was safe, the three of them gradually approached the things in front of them and observed them closely.

"This is really... an overly evil research."

"From Grete's past experience, he was originally going to aspire to become a great musician."

Linnie had seen a lot of darkness, but he was still shocked by what he saw.

At this moment, Linnie couldn't help but think of another adult of the Fatui, who was also a very scary and crazy researcher.

However, unlike that adult, the other party seemed to be researching cloning and consciousness transfer.

"Oh, that's right!"

Linni suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.

"It seems that our reasoning is a little bit off. In fact, the dead victims were not controlled. Instead, Grete transferred his consciousness to them."

After hearing Linnie's reasoning, Charlotte nodded in approval.

"You are right. This possibility is indeed very high."

"But if that's the case, why would Gretel choose to commit suicide after transferring his consciousness to someone else?"

Hearing Charlotte's doubts, Linnie didn't have an answer to the problem.

"We can only speculate about these things, but I think it is more likely that only when the current body dies can the consciousness be transferred to the next person."

It has to be said that as the successor of [Servant] Alechino, Linnie is very capable and intelligent. He came up with a very close answer with just a few clues.

However, Luo Fan had anticipated all of this. He knew that if he wanted to obtain a large number of points as quickly as possible, it was inevitable that some secrets would be exposed.

But he didn't care. As long as the secret of the system was not exposed, others could do nothing to him.

What's more, the system will unlock new functions every time a certain level of points is accumulated, and you will never be able to find out the truth just by following behind.

"You mean, consciousness can only be transferred after the body dies?"

Charlotte suddenly thought of a possibility and confirmed it with Linnie eagerly, with an ambiguous light flashing in her eyes.

Linnie quickly guessed what Charlotte was expecting at the moment. The death of the boy was an unsolvable knot in her heart.

But Linnie really didn't want to give Charlotte too much hope in this matter, otherwise she might become even more desperate in the end.

So Linnie sorted out his words and spoke softly to Charlotte.

"Luo Fan is my [family], and I also hope he is still alive."

"But at present, there are two possibilities that both indicate that there is little chance that he is still alive. The first possibility is that he was chosen as the object of consciousness transfer, and some accident may have occurred during the process, causing the consciousness transfer to be unsuccessful, so Luo Fan secretly revealed the information he knew before he died."

"For example, that key song, and Gretel's hiding place."

"Maybe for some reason, he couldn't tell others directly, so he used this method."

"The second possibility is that he is also a member of that mysterious organization, but he just wanted to stop it halfway. In this case, even if he has the ability to transfer consciousness, as a traitor to the organization, he is probably now..."

Linnie didn't continue speaking, but Charlotte already knew the answer, but the light in Charlotte's eyes still did not fade.

"But Luo Fan still has a chance to survive, right?"

"Maybe he is being punished by the organization for his betrayal, but as long as he is still alive, then I have a chance to rescue him, right?"

"Grete!"

"Grete must know something!"

Seeing Charlotte like this, Linnie finally sighed secretly in his heart, but soon put a smile on his face again and said to Charlotte.

"You're right. Brother Luo Fan may still be alive, waiting for us to rescue him!"

"But now that we know that Grete is a member of that mysterious organization, we have to think carefully about how to catch them all."

Linnie fell into deep thought. This mysterious organization was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Grete alone could gather most of the Grey River forces. Once it was allowed to develop, Linnie could hardly imagine what consequences would be caused.

Perhaps Father will also take action in this matter...

"Come and take a look at this."

At this moment, Linnet spoke, which made Charlotte and Linny come back to their senses. Then the two saw Linnet put on gloves and picked up a set of blood-stained clothes and a clown mask from the corner.

In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed through Linny's brain.

Linnie naturally recognized this mask and knew the meaning of the identity of the person behind the mask.

For a moment, Linnie started brainstorming and his breathing became rapid.

The two identities of "Gretel" and "serial jumper" were actually played by the same person!

No wonder these two identities never appear at the same time, and no wonder why he can transfer his consciousness but cover his face with a mask.

The only thing that Linny didn't understand was why Luo Fan could use two elemental powers at the same time.

Even though he had these clues before, Linny still didn't think that the two identities were actually played by the same person, because the elemental forces used by the two were completely different.

But now, even though he had never heard of similar examples before, Linnie had to believe that there were people in the world who could use two elemental powers at the same time.

"Linnie, why do you look so ugly? Could this mask be..."

Because Linny only mentioned the information about the mask to Charlotte, Charlotte didn't think of it at first, but after seeing Linny's face change drastically, she realized something.

At this time, Linnet began to rummage through the clothes in her hands, and then took out a folded piece of white paper from the pocket of her clothes.

After Linnet unfolded the paper and took a look at it, she immediately spoke to Linnie anxiously.

"Brother, look at this."

Linnie came back to his senses and took the piece of white paper from Linnet.
