Volume 2: The Big Lie Chapter 18: Unraveling the Chain

(Here's Anna's perspective, the time is the night when Number One goes to contact the informant)

It was fast approaching night, and Number One did as he had promised to contact the informant.

Not long after the number one left, the number five said that he was going out too.

As Anna expected, Two, as a small teenager, did not have enough courage to stop Five, so he had to let Five leave.

If someone starts, the rest will be easy. Seven and Anna then leave the basement one after the other.

Even now, recalling Two's ugly face, Anna almost burst out laughing. He was too young to know that backing down would only make others worse.

Originally, Anna left out of curiosity about the informant, but she didn't keep up with One. Coincidentally, just as Anna was about to go back, she ran into a scene where Five and Seven were talking.

It was in the corner that she witnessed the initial covenant between Five and Seven. After that, Anna hangs far behind Seven, trying to see if Seven will make any other moves.

After a while, a vague figure took the initiative to walk towards Seven. The light was so dark that Anna couldn't see who it was. The two could only be seen talking for a while, and then the man suddenly shot and knocked down Seven.

Anna was taken aback by this sudden scene, and she couldn't control her breathing for a while. After noticing that the man had glanced at her hiding place from a distance, Anna did not dare to stay longer and hurried away.

Shortly after Anna's return, Five also returned. After that, after the first came back, the seventh disappeared, and everyone moved one after another.

On the way to transfer, because of the battle between No. 1 and Qianzhou, the violent essentia fluctuations could be felt throughout Luntai. After adding the death of Number Seven, Anna did not dare to go to the new hideout as agreed.

At night, Anna was attacked and lost most of her internal organs, and after fleeing, she had to turn to the military for help.

............

"Can't you see who the person who attacked Seven is?" asked Chishu.

"As I said, I'm not a transcendent person who is good at perception. Plus the light was so dim that I could only see a vague shadow. ”

"I can't see who it is, can you be sure that tall, short, fat and thin?" asked Qianzhou again.

Anna still shook her head: "It's too far away, it's hard to even determine whether you're tall, short, fat or thin." ”

"In other words, unless you are a transcendent who is good at perception, no one can determine who is coming at that distance?" Qian Zhou concluded.

"It should be said that even the transcendent who is good at perception may not be able to see from that far away. Anna added.

"That's weird. Jiang Qinghan frowned, "Since you can be sure that your appearance will not be seen clearly, why do you have to put No. 6 to death." He must have done it for a reason. ”

"There are good reasons. Qianzhou made the final decision, "He didn't want to kill Six because Six saw him clearly." On the contrary, because Six didn't see who he was, he was going to kill Six!"

"What?" Jiang Qinghan and Anna were both taken aback by this unbelievable conclusion.

Qianzhou looked at Anna: "You said that he attacked you twice, and you didn't see it at first, until you realized that someone had attacked you, didn't you see that person, right?"

Anna nodded.

"And according to you, there was actually one other person who left the basement on the first night, besides Five, Seven and you. A person who leaves absolutely not to be discovered by others. ”

"Who is it?" Jiang Qinghan's eyes widened, and his watery eyes seemed to be filled with a bright autumn light. The fiery gaze made Qianzhou look away a little shyly.

"It's number three. "For the sake of camouflage, only the third lives outside the basement and is responsible for procuring food. The people who left were not familiar with Three, and the number two who knew him would never leave the basement. So if Three leaves and comes back, no one will find out at all. ”

"So it was Three, who attacked me?" asked Anna, uncertain.

"Yes. And the ability of the number three is not to change the appearance as you say. Qianzhou said another unbelievable conclusion.

Neither of them spoke, waiting for Qianzhou's explanation.

No one praised Qianzhou, although he was a little uncomfortable, but he still said to himself: "You were attacked twice because you realized that 'someone attacked me', and then you found him. And after I missed the sword, it was only after I realized that 'he is no longer here' that the phantom in front of me disappeared, and at the same time I saw the real body. ”

"So I'm going to make a bold guess: Three's ability should be a mental suggestion. You can imperceptibly hint at others. ”

"But because it's a hint, it doesn't work as long as it's recognized. However, this is for the transcendent, and the effect on ordinary people is definitely stronger, and it is simple to use it for disguise. At the same time, if it is a non-logical suggestion similar to appearance, it is difficult for even the transcendent to see through it. ”

"The box containing the 'Fire Raven' should have been dropped by him with a hint. ”

"Is that enough to conclude that it was Three who killed Seven?" Anna was still a little unsure.

"Of course not. Qianzhou asked Jiang Qinghan, "Qinghan, do you remember how No. 7 died?"

"There was only one fatal injury, and it was in the head. Jiang Qinghan said without thinking.

"Yes, someone should have told him to let his guard down. When you get close, you can kill with a single hit. So who can make Seven let his guard down? Not to mention letting his guard down completely, as long as he can get close to a certain distance. ”

"It's No. 5, but it must not be No. 5 who killed No. 7!" Jiang Qinghan's eyes lit up, and she was pulled by Qianzhou a little bit, and she also figured out the joints.

"I fought with the number five. Jiang Qinghan combed through the information, "No. 5 is not an extraordinary person who is known for his strength, so he can't kill No. 7 with a single blow through the protection of the skull." And the most important point is the height of number five!"

"That's right. Qianzhou continued, "Number Five is quite short, so he has to kill the transcendent of the same rank by surprise. He could not have chosen the head that was inconvenient to attack, and he should have chosen the heart located in the chest. ”

"So the scene at that time should be: Three hinted at himself in the eyes of Seven as Five, and when he got close, he would kill with one hit. Number Six is beyond the implied distance, so it is not Number Five that is seen. As long as you are smart enough to use the elimination method, you can know that it is number three who kills people. Three realizes this flaw and decides to kill it. ”

"But why would Three's disguise himself as Five? Wouldn't it be okay to just let Seven find out?" Anna asked.

Because hints can be subconsciously ignored by others, and cannot hide the changes in light and shadow, the flow of air, in that case, it is easy to be seen through because of logical fallacies. In addition, No. 3 only needs to be close to a certain distance, so disguised as No. 5 is the best choice. ”

Anna couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the young man in front of her. It's not immersive, just relying on its own narrative and fragmented clues to be able to reverse the whole picture of the matter, which is simply terrifying.
