"Xiaohan, don't tease me, I'm also just 'hindsight' - I didn't find many problems at the first time, and it wasn't until I thought about the 'hunter' that I gradually discovered these exposed problems through memories. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Su Cheli felt Ye Xiaohan's gaze full of strange light stay on him, and suddenly felt that the air that was already a little humid and hot seemed so restless at this moment, teasing his heart that was gradually beating faster like a spark in the prairie -

Plop~Plop~!!

The sound of the heart beating is clearly audible!

Fortunately, Su Cheli can be regarded as having been 'tested' by Hinasaki Shenyu for a long time, so he took a deep breath and calmed down his mood a little, and then met Ye Xiaohan's focused and moving gaze, and continued stubbornly:

"Of course, although the man with glasses has exposed a lot of his feet because of his own problems, the biggest 'hint' does not come from the man with glasses himself, but from the four 'jargon' we saw on the blue and black door before we entered the hall of the 'black and white palace'!"

When Ye Xiaohan heard this, she first tilted her cute head and thought about it, and then she suddenly responded:

"You are referring to the last of the four lines - 'The civilization of Atlantis will eventually disappear into a fratricidal war'! I see~! No wonder ......."

"That's right~!"

Su Cheli affirmed Ye Xiaohan's guess, and said with emotion in his tone:

"These four 'jargon' recorded on the blue and black gate are all metaphors for the symbolic organs we encounter-

The first line – 'Gendaya's civilization, the fall of the land under the light' stands for 'black and white palace'

The second line – 'Mesoia's civilization, destroyed by the inflow of the sea under Noah's calamity' means 'the inflow of the sea'

The third line - 'Muria's civilization was lost to the sudden change in temperature under the exchange of magnetic poles' represents 'the light of the lanterns'"

Speaking of this, Su Che paused from his words, and continued with a hint of admiration in his tone:

"The designer of this symbolic mechanism is truly terrifying! The fourth and final line engraved on the blue and black gate is 'The civilization of Atlantis will eventually disappear into a fratricidal war'. This sentence does point to the last symbolic mechanism in the 'Feather God Sacrifice Tower', but ......"

"However, this 'symbolic mechanism' does not appear in the form of a hall, but from the moment we step into the 'Feather God Sacrifice Tower', everyone has already faced this 'symbolic mechanism' - 'Hunter'!"

The last 'symbolic mechanism' is the 'Hunter'!

Ye Xiaohan exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and sighed with emotion:

"This is indeed quite a subtle 'symbolic organ', the word 'war' in the fourth line represents opposing forces - 'sacrifice' and 'hunter', while the other word 'killing each other' implies the fact that 'hunters' exist in 'sacrifices'!"

('Cannibalism' refers to killing each other, each incompatible, mostly used as a predicate or object, and is only used to refer to 'internal wars'.) ）

After speaking, Ye Xiaohan seemed to have thought of something, and curled up a little afraid of the cold, and there was a hint of confusion and panic in his tone:

"Since this 'mission' can be divided into 'sacrifices' and 'hunters' that are inseparable from each other, wouldn't it be ....... other 'missions' in the future?"

Speaking of this, Ye Xiaohan looked up at Su Cheli a little confused and helpless, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes, like a homeless wild cat.

Seeing this, Su Che moved his body slightly closer, so that the bodies of the two of them who were already close to each other suddenly became close to each other, and then he reached out and patted Ye Xiaohan's shoulder gently, and chuckled in a relaxed tone:

"Actually~, I used to be a 'murderer' who made mistakes, although I didn't react at the time, but I didn't get a good night's sleep for a few days afterwards~. But ah~, I seem to be a little luckier than you, this matter was finally pressed down by relying on 'relationship', but I've been feeling a lingering smell of blood on my hands ever since. ”

"Moreover, because I am not the only one who knows about this matter, there is another person, the person who helped me to suppress this matter, and he also knows about it. So much so that I have been 'threatened' by him since then, and I have been forced by him to go out on a trip together, go shopping on foot, and so on. However, although I think that these things brought about by 'secrets' will be very 'troublesome', it is really nice to have such a person in the world who shares 'secrets' with you, especially the 'secrets' that are very important~. ”

Su Cheli exhaled softly, then turned his head to look at Ye Xiaohan, who was a little stunned beside him, and chuckled:

"Now, I have shared this 'secret' in my heart with you, and no matter what the 'mission' is in the future, we will all be the ones who share the 'secret', right?"

When Ye Xiaohan heard this, she suddenly felt that her eyes were a little warm, as if she was rubbed into the fine sand, she tried her best to control it not to let the warmth slip off, and instead said with a smile like a broken tear:

"That~, am I holding your 'vital point' now? In the future, if you don't listen to my 'orders', I can 'call the police'~? ”

"The premise of 'alarm' is that you must first be able to contact the outside world~! Okay, you Ye Xiaohan, you still want to learn from others to 'threaten' me in a different way, it's really 'ungrateful'~! ”

Su Cheli quietly withdrew the hand that was patting Ye Xiaohan's shoulder while making a 'heartbreak' appearance, and then he restrained his smile and said with a little seriousness:

"However, when you say that, I think of a 'key' place, maybe ......"

"The 'hunter' is not the only way to kill the 'sacrifices'!"

Ye Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some eagerness: "Really?" Could it be that even if the academy divides us into 'sacrifices' and 'hunters', we can still avoid killing each other?! ”

Su Cheli nodded affirmatively, and then began to explain in a deep voice:

"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Hunter' probably has two options - kill all the 'sacrifices', or ......."

"Choose to besiege and kill 'Weah' with the 'sacrifice'!"

"What?" Ye Xiaohan first asked with a puzzled expression, "The 'hunters' and 'sacrifices' besieged Weah together?" Why is there such an option? You don't mean Weah ......."

"Yes~! I did say that Weah is not a 'hunter', but that doesn't mean that Weah has no role in this ceremony~! ”

Su Cheli continued to explain: "Weah is obviously tasked with awakening the black snake, and his role seems to be irreplaceable, otherwise the Mayans could have allowed the glasses man, who is a 'hunter', to secretly awaken the black snake, why do they have to send their own elite warriors to risk their lives?" Obviously, this is the role of the 'ritual rules', and Weah is in this 'ceremony', shouldering the third 'profession' in addition to the 'sacrifice' and the 'hunter'! ”

"Xiaohan, you and I were only under the 'coercion' of Weah before that we came to the third place to symbolize the mechanism, so it can be seen that he should be shouldering a duty similar to that of the 'Exorcist' - to maintain the process of the 'Feathered Serpent Ceremony', awaken the Black Snake, let the 'sacrifices' and 'hunters' kill each other, and ensure that the 'Feathered Serpent Ceremony' can finally be carried out according to their Mayan 'expectations'."

Speaking of this, a cold smile appeared on Su Cheli's face, and his tone was as calm as the sea before a storm-

"Therefore, the killing of each other by our 'sacrifices' and 'hunters' is the result of their 'prediction', and if there is anything that may exceed their 'prediction' - it is only the way to 'besiege' Weah! And they have been trying to avoid the possibility of this situation - deliberately letting Weah enter the 'Feather God Sacrifice Tower' 5 minutes late, just to prevent us from facing Weah directly, and to prevent us from choosing to 'besiege' Weah in a hurry, including the glasses man. At the same time, because Weah will enter the 'Feather God Sacrifice Tower' 5 minutes later than us, we who entered the 'Feather God Sacrifice Tower' first have psychological pressure in our hearts, and subconsciously want to speed up the ritual process and avoid a head-on collision with Weah - this is precisely the perfect embodiment of their Mayan misleading thinking direction again! ”

"Because of the external factors of these 5 minutes, we put ourselves in the position of being a weak 'mouse' at the beginning, and everyone except the glasses man was thinking about how to get rid of Weah's 'hunting cat'! - The unseen horror is the most terrible horror, because we have not been able to see Weah, which makes our fear of him even deeper! In the end, this allows us to avoid thinking about the 'siege' scheme, so that Weah can 'unscrupulously' force us to carry out the ritual at his pace by 'chasing'! ”

When Ye Xiaohan heard this, he sighed heavily, "So, the 'task prompt' that the glasses man received from the beginning should be different from us, right?" As a 'hunter', he should have received the two prompts of 'hunting sacrifices' and 'besieging Weah' from the beginning, right? ”

Su Cheli nodded in agreement: "That's right, the man with glasses must know the choice of 'besieging and killing Weah', and from my speculation above, it can be seen that the Mayans have been trying to avoid the situation of 'besieging and killing' Weah, and from this point of view, this is indeed a 'way of life' - 'Besieging Weah' is definitely another 'hidden route' for us in addition to the 'sacrifices' and 'hunters' killing each other, and completing this 'hidden route' can also make the 'Feathered Serpent Ceremony' end smoothly!" ”

"Moreover, this 'hidden route' actually has a very high probability of success - although Weah's physical fitness is extremely strong, under normal circumstances, the five of us probably have only a 30% chance of killing him, and we will kill at least half of them. However, Weah's role as an 'exorcist' in this 'Quetzalcoatl Ritual' has caused him to be greatly restricted - he cannot harm the 'sacrifice' or the 'hunter'! ”

When Ye Xiaohan heard this, he glanced at the direction where the lake was located before, and said with some regret: "Yes, if we knew Weah's 'mission' from the beginning, designed and arranged a trap at the lake, and blocked the passage after Weah entered the lake, and finally used the awakened 'black snake' to attack inside and out, plus Weah's restriction that he couldn't really hurt us, I'm afraid we could have completed this mission without killing anyone!" ”

After speaking, a trace of inexplicability appeared on Ye Xiaohan's face, and there was a low echo in his tone: "But, after all, something is missing.......

Su Cheli also sighed helplessly: "Yes~, what really 'kills' the dead sacrifices and hunters is not the symbolic organ, not the chasing and coercive Weah, not the terrifying black snake, but the ......"

'Trust'

Su Cheli didn't say the last two words, but Ye Xiaohan clearly understood what Su Cheli meant-

It is precisely because of the lack of 'trust' that the man with glasses does not dare to choose the route of 'besieging Weah'!

Because, once the glasses man reveals his identity as a 'hunter', he can't guarantee that other 'sacrifices' will not choose the path of 'killing the hunter'! After all, even if they knew that Weah would not be able to cause damage to him because of the restrictions, wouldn't it be easier to kill the 'hunter' to complete the mission than to face a terrifying humanoid weapon that could shatter large stone slabs with 'bare feet'? Why bother to design traps in lakes to kill 'Weah'?

On one side, facing the glasses man who is not outstanding in physique, the strength of the remaining four people can definitely take him down effortlessly. On the one hand, he faced an extremely terrifying humanoid weapon, and he might be 'awakened' by the black snake to give him a 'pot', and finally take his own life.

This option is not difficult to make a choice for the 'sacrifices' who do not know each other and have no close relationship - people, under the influence of external conditions such as relatives and friends, blood relations, etc., will naturally instinctively choose the option of 'seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages'.

It's impossible to imagine that they would design a trap to kill Weah for a stranger they didn't know, and that they might risk their own lives in the face of the awakened Black Snake.

Therefore, this is a choice that has already been 'unbalanced'.

As a result, the man with glasses was unable to 'trust' the 'sacrifices' other than him, resulting in him not revealing his identity as a 'hunter', nor telling everyone about Weah's tasks and restrictions. At the same time, it was precisely because of this lack of 'trust' that he finally took the conventional route - hunting 'sacrifices'.

Therefore, the murderer who finally killed the 'hunter' and the 'sacrifice' was not the symbol of the speed of life and death, not the chasing and threatening Weah, not the misleading Mayan chieftain, not the mythical and epic black snake, but—

What the 'sacrifices' and the 'hunters' lacked from each other—

'Trust'!
