Chapter 687 Lulina’s Challenge
Hearing Lurina say that she already knew who the murderer was, Qiao and Lang suddenly became nervous.
Even though she is usually just a relatively quiet and cool girl, she has a strong desire to win and has a very radical and indomitable style both in battles and in her modeling career.
Now their potential friend has encountered an accident, and the fiery emotions in his heart have indeed emerged!
Facing Lu Lina who was about to announce the answer, Zhou You and his party all had their own guesses in their minds.
Lurina, Joe, and Lance, Hannah's diving companions can only be three of them, and the murderer can also only be one of them!
Zhou You: I think the murderer is Lance. He was the first person who rushed to Hannah and crouched next to her to check the situation. Maybe he had to deal with some missing clues. If he searched him at this time, he might be able to do it. Find key evidence.
Arthur: Lurina is also suspicious, right? She clearly let the big-billed gull fly to the cliff to find the electric petrel's nest, but she rode the voracious turtle to the bottom of the cliff before releasing the big-billed gull. Could it be that she wanted to take advantage of the other people's absence to attack the heterochromatic barracuda... What does the bucket tip shuttle do?
Xiaoqi: I don’t quite understand, what does kissing taste like?
Nuomi Ci: He must be the one who has a crush on Hannah. He doesn’t even care about the life or death of his crush. He must feel guilty!
Porco Plane: Why must there be one murderer? Can't no one be the murderer or everyone be the murderer?
Fireball Rat: ZZZ...ZZZ.
Looking at the elves popping out of the wandering elf balls to watch, Lulina felt a little weird for no reason.
But she didn't think too much, and expressed her reasoning.
"The burn marks on Hannah's diving suit were concentrated on her back, but the marks on her body were relatively even, which shows that it was definitely not an ordinary electric shock.
"Furthermore, elves like the Barracuda cannot be harmed by elves such as electric petrels, electric lantern fish or snapping sea urchins. It only takes an instant to get out of their attack range."
After hearing this, Lance raised an objection: "Perhaps the reason why it was injured by electricity was just to protect Hannah? Think about it, it has evolved into a spear, and it must have experienced a fierce battle in the process. ”
Lurina shook her head. There must be a fight, but the question is when.
You must know that Hannah's injury is on her back. How could a qualified trainer expose his back to the enemy?
They all know Hannah well, and the other person is definitely not such a reckless person.
Therefore, Lurina believes that Hannah's injuries came from before the battle.
This meant that she and her dive companion were attacked without realizing the danger.
At this point, Zhou You suddenly realized something: "So that's it. If it were there, this kind of thing might happen."
Arthur was confused when he heard this. Why did Jojo start The Riddler again?
"The area where Hannah was in trouble was a coral reef, which is normally home to many small fish and their predators... but none of them were attackers."
After a pause, Lurina mentioned a special type of water elf: "You should all know the reason why coral reefs are formed, right?"
Sun Coral, Coral Pokémon. It is a special being with a pink body, white belly and limbs, and beautiful and bright coral branches growing on its head. It has been highly sought after by people since ancient times.
This kind of elf likes the beautiful sea in the south, and once lived in the Galar offshore sea in ancient times.
When their nutrition is sufficient, the coral branches at the front of their heads will continue to fall off and grow, becoming more beautiful.
"Does this have anything to do with Hannah's injury?" Lance was a little confused. Sun Coral obviously didn't have the ability to cause electrical burns or injuries.
On the side, Qiao's face darkened, as if he recalled the knowledge related to it.
Zhou You reminded: "Since the injuries on Hannah and the heterochromatic bucket tip shuttle were not caused by electric shock, then naturally the only effect left is the flame."
"Impossible! Fire-type moves won't have much effect in the sea. How could the bucket-point shuttle lose to the fire-type elves in the water?"
Seeing that Lance still hadn't seen the full picture of the incident, Zhou You looked at the sea and sighed slowly: "It is indeed difficult for ordinary flames to be effective under the sea, but certain flames with special properties are enough to have normal effects underwater."
First of all, rule out the speculation that the fire attribute elf is powerful enough.
"Magic Flame" controlled by super powers, "Wisp Fire" cast with special energy, and "Jealousy Fire" enhanced by spiritual energy.
These three moves are immune to the underwater environment to a certain extent.
Hint: At this point, anyone can figure out which elf attacked Hannah.
Joe turned pale and spat out the name of the elf: "It's the ghost of Sun Coral!"
Sun Coral, which looks like Galar, is also a Coral Pokémon, but its attribute has changed from rock/water to ghost.
Sun corals have extremely high requirements on environmental factors such as water temperature and quality. When the ocean is polluted, their beautiful coral branches will dim.
And the ocean in Galar is more than just "polluted".
In ancient times, the fragments of the mysterious meteorite caused huge changes in the oceans of Galar - Wujitina's attribute is poison/dragon after all.
The sudden change in the environment caused the sun corals to die quickly, forming ancient coral reefs one after another.
And some of them have also become new forms of ghost attributes.
They attack humans and elves, drain the essence of the living, and place curses on those who kick them like stones.
"The appearance of Galar Sun Coral is somewhat confusing, and sometimes you may not be able to recognize its appearance at the first time."
Recalling the location where Hannah drowned - near the coral reef, Lurina came to the conclusion: "Hannah's diving buddy mistook the sun coral for an ordinary stone, and was cursed by its cursed body. A state of immobility.”
"Then the Sun Coral attacked Hannah with will-o'-the-wisp, and then started a battle with the Barracuda."
Once humans lose the ability to move underwater, it means drowning and death.
Realizing this, Hannah rescued her diving partner while being possessed by a will-o'-the-wisp, but this also led to her own death.
"Considering that the diving buddy must have the ability to escape in that environment, that person is obviously..."
"Yes! It's me!"
With a splash, Qiao knelt on the beach: "The ancient moon bird used surfing skills to take me away from the coral reef!"
Thinking about it, it was inevitable. It was impossible for Haoli, Mudfish and Jutanshan to let Lance escape in that kind of environment.
Since Lurina knew that her diving partner was not her, it was easy to guess who it was.
Joe's fear and self-blame prevented him from telling the truth for a while...
…
As Junsha brought the sun corals brought back by Qiao and Eden to the police station for further investigation and recording, Lu Lina had time to come to Zhou You.
"Champion of Fengyuan (former) Zhouyou, please have a battle with me!"
Well, I spent a long time researching how to insert Lurina's picture into the text without touching the minefield, but in the end I still didn't dare to mess around.
As a result, I suddenly discovered that there was a major bug in the battle in the next chapter and it was too late to correct it... I will update it tomorrow.
