Chapter 396 The Death of the Lamb (Part 8)
"Wait, are you trying to say that Fool's Gold is a scapegoat? But he's never shown any interest in potions." Ms. Farrow frowned.
"If it's not Fool's Gold, then who is manipulating everything behind the scenes? You know, besides the potion, Nightmare also created clones of Madam Red and the Reporter. These are things only he and the other two adults can do."
"The ID group's behavior is truly incomprehensible..."
Conan took the opportunity to ask about the ID personality: "ID group, does it specifically refer to members who can switch between survivors and supervisors?"
"Yes, two members of the Hustle Group have already joined the ranks," Xie Bian explained. "They are 'Acrobat' and 'Hustle,' and 'Crying Clown' and 'Clown.'"
"Mr. Mike and Mr. Jock," Conan scratched his head. "But they're new, and they don't seem to have any ambitions, so they probably know nothing about nightmares. Professor Luchino, who can transform into a lizard, should know more."
"Professor Luchino is a professional biologist. He relied on his own research to produce a potion that is close to the effect of the gift from the Dream Witch. Even his experimental group is the sixth group, which is full of chaos..." Air Force seemed to be recalling the experimental process in his manor, with a lingering fear on his face.
Conan asked again: "Since Nightmare is a veteran in the manor and also a member of the ID team, then there must be someone who has seen his survivor appearance, and the same goes for Fool's Gold."
"As for nightmares, I did see him in Experiment Zero, but when I think about it now, his face is completely blank. That guy must have used Mnemosyne to make it so no one could remember his face." The psychologist rubbed his head. "Fool's Gold's survivor codename was 'Prospector.' He used to frequent the nightmare experiment site, but after an unexpected incident, he seems to have given up appearing as a survivor. However, he still occasionally supports his old friend with his own funds."
"Mr. Naib, right? He's even willing to spend money to buy a ship to rescue them," Conan analyzed. "Judging from Mr. Jose's evaluation of him, he must be a complete stingy person."
"He was very close to the nightmare, so we can't remember his face very well. When I think of him now, the only thing that comes to my mind is Fool Gold's stone face." The first mate shrugged helplessly.
"Wait." Conan suddenly thought of something. "Mr. Norton and Fool's Gold seem to have something in common. They were both miners at the Glittering Caverns! Is there some connection?"
[Fool's Gold: You tell me, should I wait for them in the Glittering Grottoes with my body?]
[Entomologist: How shameless! Won't you be considered a psychopath if you do this?]
[Composer: Is there anyone sane left in the manor?]
[Mercenary: That makes sense. Even the calmest person will experience red warmth and defense breakdown when they come to the manor.]
[Doctor: Haha, I don’t even want to talk about certain people’s recent cases.]
[Gardener: Let me see... "He rescued people from Lord Noisy seven times and escaped unscathed, but then stepped on Mike's explosives and broke his bones"?]
[Forward: I'm sorry, I wasn't watching my step when I left.]
[Noise: You can't blame me for this. I was just about to see him off when William suddenly fell to the ground.]
[Lawyer: And this, “After battling Mr. Jeffrey for 800 rounds without losing, he suffered a muscle strain when landing from a springboard?”
[Batter: I was careless and didn't dodge.]
[Toy Merchant: I gave you a chance, why didn't you use it? That's the springboard to the second floor!]
[Puppet Master: Amazing! How come you guys, the gym students, are so fragile?]
[Perfumer: Not everyone is a steel man like you, Matthias.]
[Madame Red: Indeed, normally when I see Matthias I wouldn't even want to smell him.]
[Photographer: Oh? I think it's okay.]
[Bartender: Haha, it's Mr. Joseph. Our three-way situation is hopeless.]
"Glittering Grotto..." The first mate rested his chin on his hand. "Want to go see what's going on?"
"Mr. Akai and I went there a while ago. There are hallucinogenic mushrooms growing there." Conan quickly talked about his previous experience in the Glittering Gold Grotto. "Also, the FBI agents who went there said they saw visions of the dead miners."
"Hehehe, the Shining Golden Grotto..." A somewhat creepy female voice laughed at the door.
Conan looked back in shock and found that it was the perfumer pushing the sculptor in, with the postman leading the way.
"Hello everyone, I'm planning to kick Melodi out and change jobs, and I'm bringing a big trouble with me." The sculptor pointed behind him.
Everyone looked back and saw that the sculptor was indeed followed by the timid violinist.
"Mr. Antonio was kicked out by Miss Sangria, and Demi and Philip don't want to take care of him anymore. In order to prevent him from sleeping on the streets or performing on the streets, you have to support him."
Conan:? ? ?
The gravekeeper immediately stood up and said: "I know a good cemetery, I think it can..."
"No, Andrew, sit down. Things haven't come to that point yet." Xie Bian smiled. "We're not yet at the point where we can't afford to support Mr. Antonio."
"Really? Where is the wine cellar?" The violinist immediately rubbed his hands.
Xie Bian immediately frowned and said, "Wujiu, immediately put up a sign at the entrance of the wine cellar saying that Wei Rufu and Antonio are not allowed to enter."
"Ah? Something about me?" The archer's voice came from the hole in the wall.
"It's gone now." Fan Wujiu picked up the vase beside him and plugged the hole in the wall.
Seeing everyone's eyes turned to the sculptor, Xie Bian explained, "Miss Galatea contacted me before, hoping to leave the Melodi family. After all, Melodi's current condition is quite unstable."
"Hey, he looks furious because the film was stolen, but he's actually heartbroken because a piece of his brother's precious memories has been lost." The sculptor poked his wheelchair with his carving knife. "Don't be fooled by Dexi's strong appearance, he's just a lonely old man at heart."
[Night Watchman: Sorry, Mr. Joseph, hahaha, it's a bit funny.]
[Photographer: It's okay, I'm not angry. (gritting teeth)]
"Those films were his only way to remember his brother. Although he later painted a portrait of his deceased brother based on his own likeness, nothing could compare to the original. So when I heard that 'Miss Lamb' had stolen a piece of film, I was quite surprised."
"Wait, what about that bloody murder in the Melody family mansion?" After hearing the sculptor's testimony, Conan realized that such a cruel scene was unlikely to be the work of one person.
"Ah, I had a fight with him. Poor servants who were created, they were crushed into a paste by my statue. Also, the servants who avoided my statue were probably made into photos because of Deshi's venting of anger."
Conan's heart trembled. He had only guessed about the photographer's ability before, but he didn't expect that the photographer could really use photos to hurt people!
