Mystic Dominator

"..."

"First of all, could you please stop looking at me like that?"

Ronald was flustered, but on the surface he still acted confidently:

"Nicole, you don't think that this child's death has anything to do with me, do you?"

Nicole is more direct:

"Ronald, actually because I know that your perception spell is very useful, I spent some time to make one with a slightly inferior function, but it has both a [lie detector] and your perception ability. The magic is coming..."

So... you feel that I feel guilty!

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Ronald had no choice but to pull Nicole under the horse-shaped doll:

"Nicole, come here and I'll talk to you carefully."

"oh."

"..."

Next, Ronald explained his communication with the painter girl on the deck, proving his innocence.

After figuring out Ronald's situation, Nicole returned to the crowd with a rather subtle expression.

At this time, the investigator next to him came over and asked in a low voice:

"Miss Nicole, how are you?"

Nicole rolled her eyes directly, and then replied in a voice that everyone could hear:

"The fact is - if Ronald really wants to kill someone, there is no need for him to be secretive. Or let me put it another way, it would be difficult for the spell casters on our three ships combined to kill him on the sea. How about it."

"..."

Nicole's statement spoke louder than any explanation.

More than 80% of the people present are spell casters, so they are naturally familiar with the rules of spell casters.

So after Nicole said this, none of them continued to doubt Ronald's previous reaction.

In other words, no one dared to doubt Ronald.

"Since everyone has no objections, I will continue to work."

Seeing no other action from the crowd around her, Nicole naturally continued to take over the work she had just interrupted. So, the investigator girl turned to look at the uneasy girl beside her:

"In order to find the murderer who murdered you, can you let me cast a spell on you? I promise there will be no danger and no special effects."

Naturally, the painter girl would not refuse Nicole: "Please cast the spell, I will be fine."

Nicole nodded slightly, then raised her right hand and touched the girl's forehead.

In this brief movement of raising her hand, her thumb and middle finger quickly drew a few runes on the palm of her hand, and the moment her palm touched the opponent, she also completed the spell.

The spell was cast smoothly, and Nicole quickly nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, we're lucky."

"Although the murderer has erased his own traces, he still meets the tracking conditions of my spell."

While Nicole was casting the spell, Ronald was also watching from the side.

Compared to everyone who was ignorant of the entire spell, he had already figured out the general logic of Nicole's spell with his clear perception.

After Nicole completed the spell, weak magic fluctuations appeared on her palms and eyes. The spell detected the details left by the murderer, and at the same time, the corresponding results appeared directly in her field of vision.

A very useful spell.

Ronald was impressed by Nicole's talent in magic.

At the same time, Nicole continued to give orders to the surrounding investigators:

"Okay, you continue to maintain order at the scene and don't let people panic. Just leave the tracking and arrest of the murderer to me and Ronald."

Of course, ordinary investigators will not have any problem with an ace investigator:

"We understand, Miss Nicole."

Next, she began to track the murderer, and Nicole dragged Ronald out of the cabin. She knew she shouldn't waste any more time, and her steps seemed very hasty.

The two of them were facing forward, one behind the other.

After leaving this particularly huge cabin, he walked around two corridors and finally came to the elevator shaft dedicated to the ship's staff.

"This guy can also take this elevator. He is very familiar with the structure of the ship..."

Nicole sighed softly, and then pulled Ronald into the elevator obediently.

Normally, she would have used destructive means to go straight down.

But in the vast Sunrise Ocean, the three steamships were their only foothold, so Nicole did not dare to take any rough measures at this time.

The elevator descended neither too fast nor too slowly. During this period, Ronald took the time to ask:

"Nicole, did you also research this tracking spell yourself?"

Nicole nodded simply:

"That's right, it still comes from the rune system."

"Honestly, I think the original scriptures of our school are really powerful. As long as you can concentrate on studying them slowly, you can achieve almost any effect you want."

Ronald also agreed very much:

"That's certainly true."

While chatting about spells, Ronald and Nicole took the elevator all the way to the bottom.

Unlike the cabins on the upper floors, the safety door outside the elevator door on the bottom floor is specially marked with the words "The ship is in operation, non-staff members are not allowed to enter".

Then, Nicole's eyes became strange:

"Is this guy really running away?"

Immediately afterwards, the investigator girl pushed open the safety door, and then explained to Ronald behind:

"When this guy passed here, he even reset the door lock. He was so leisurely. Was he really escaping?"

Ronald spread his hands and said that he didn't understand either.

"Who knows?"

"If you dare to kill people with your hands on these three ships, I don't think anyone with a normal mind would make such an abnormal move."

After that, the two people left the elevator, and there was a short passage behind them.

After opening the watertight door at the end, they continued forward...

Jingle bell—jingle bell—

Just then, a bell rang above Ronald and Nicole.

When they looked up and opened it, they discovered that it was actually the alarm bell of the watertight door. As long as the waterproof door is not closed properly, the bell will ring to remind people to close it.

"Steam ships are just that good."

As Nicole closed the watertight door, she couldn't help but sigh:

"The boat I took before also had such a waterproof door, but there was absolutely no such reminder facility."

Ronald nodded slightly in agreement:

"Technological progress brings not only dangers and benefits, but also safety improvements. There will definitely be more similar alarm facilities in the future."

Next, the two continued to move forward under the guidance of the spell.

The straight working passage is deep and dark.

Electric lights of this era had not yet spread to the working areas of steamships, so workers here had to rely on miner's lamps or headlamps to move around normally.

Walk here.

The sound of waves and the collision of the hull, as well as the movement of the steel hull itself, gradually distorted in the slender channel. It sounds as if there is something terrible in the darkness, ready to pounce and devour people's lives at any moment...
