Chapter LIV: Unknown Twenty-Three Five

"In my homeland, there are also demons ......"

Like a bell chime being runged, it was diffuse, in Xingyu's heart.

In the empty chest, ethereal echoes stirred everywhere, like ripples on the surface of a silent lake.

"And now...... He's no longer ......"

"I see!" Xingyu stood up and shouted excitedly.

"Oh oh oh!" Bei Mian, who was in deep thought, was taken aback, and his body instinctively moved back a few centimeters.

……

"You want to say...... Actually, what we're getting now isn't the news about Confiscation? After listening to Xingyu's analysis, Beimian held his chin and thought, "In this case, how can it make sense that the 23rd card is [demon]?" ”

From the very beginning, the crown has been paying special attention to the origin of card 23, perhaps out of the desire of a person who does not know his origins.

If all the statements just made are wrong, then who is this divination process obtaining? And what does that person have to do with the appearance of the 23rd card? Bei Mian continued to ask, and finally reported the question she had just been puzzled about.

"All we have divination about [Hell] right now is information!" Xingyu said it without hesitation, full of confidence.

"No...... Isn't it human!? Beimian was taken aback, and couldn't help but stammered a little, "Wish...... I want to hear about it! ”

Xingyu walked to the magenta wall, smiled confidently, took out a match from the hidden pocket of her skirt, and shook it gently in the air like shaking a red wine glass, and the match head suddenly burst into flames, she turned around and began to write on the wall with flames, while calmly analyzing:

"From the very beginning, our interpretation was skewed. That [the fool] has another meaning than 'beginning'. As she spoke, she drew an inch of match in the air in front of the wall, and wherever the flame passed, it seemed to solidify, leaving a burning arc, and a butterfly with its wings spread gradually taking shape—this is what [the fool] was used to represent [the fool].

Xingyu took a small half step to the left and added a curly brace to the left of the butterfly.

"[The Fool], the number in the tarot card is 0, which is 'nothing', and everything is still like a blank piece of paper that has not been written, which is like the birth of a person, so its first meaning is the meaning of 'origin' that we just explained."

"But!" Bei Mian saw that Xing Yu had finished writing the last "t" of "start" above the curly braces, and immediately helped to preemptively speak.

"The peculiarity of '0' is that no matter how much is added, it can become the number that is added, which is called the indefinite position of [the fool] in the tarot cards, because it is as white as a blank piece of paper, and whatever is written on it, it can be changed immediately, so [the fool] is considered to be able to represent any card." At this point, Xing Yu paused and wrote four letters under the parentheses.

“s-a-m-e”

Xingyu leaned down, blew lightly on the neon-like flame word, and turned around gorgeously:

"That's the second meaning of it, which means that [Hell] was originally the location of the same buildings as other space-time crevices!"

Of course, the gorgeous effect is only in the eyes of the current Beimian, and Xingyu himself does not admit to doing this.

"This ...... There seems to be no basis for this...... In other words, the hypothesis is too strong, and even if it can be said all the way down, it can only mean that this is a certain possibility......" Bei Mian said in embarrassment, like a student who found a mistake when the teacher was excitedly showing the new method of proofing he had just invented, and wanted to say it but was very embarrassed, and finally raised his hand tremblingly.

"Don't be in a hurry, we can solve this argument later." Xing Yu showed an expression of "I knew you were going to say this", chuckled twice, turned around and continued:

"The second card, [The Hanged Man], is where we make the biggest mistake, and this card doesn't really need any superfluous explanation, just analyze it according to its original meaning."

With the crackling sound of a special high-energy match, a long vine appeared on the wall, with a butterfly on its head and a blank space on its tail, like a single-plank bridge.

"The 'self-sacrifice and dedication' of this card is the continuation of the second meaning of [the fool] just now - 'the same origin', that is, 'different destinies'!" As he spoke, Xingyu wrote a word in a dashing manner above the vine:

“become”。

"You want to say that ...... [hell], as a special point like the other places, chose to sacrifice their lives? But there is still no basis for this...... Anyway, in our cognition, demons are all symbols of sin......" Beimian muttered with some disappointment, and at the end suddenly thought of something, and added: "You don't count." ”

"So, we need to tie them to the third and fourth cards." Xingyu reached out and slammed his knuckles on the wall twice, "Here's the point!" ”

"The third card [demon], this card is the most often misunderstood card in tarot, so to interpret it correctly, you need to start from the essence of the demon." In the time of a sentence, Xing Yu had already drawn an inverted pentagram to represent [the demon], which was located in the position pointed by the vine, which probably represented the verifiable fact that after the choice of sacrificing his life for righteousness, he became a demon.

"The so-called demons are only portrayed as sinners, and the demons themselves are the embodiment of human hedonism, and there can be no creatures that are completely desireless, so demons are bound to exist. Therefore, what is called a demon is not necessarily an evil thing, but an evil thing must be defined as a demon, just like the young Angola Manuel who was forced to bear all the evil in this world, is not a bad person in essence. And [hell] is a being like him, except that its choice is of its own volition, and it is a nobler act. ”

Beimian listened to a large number of "definitions", "essences", and "sins", and couldn't help but get dizzy, waving his hands and begging for some simplification.

"To put it simply, to connect the facts of the analysis just now: a place that is no different from other peculiarities voluntarily bears its sins and does what [hell] that no peculiarity wants to do, and thus maintains the order of all things, is such a simple process."

Bei Mian just wanted to speak, but was abruptly interrupted by Xing Yu:

"Now, it's finally time to list the evidence!"

Xingyu turned around, raised his right hand, and drew a peculiar pattern on the wall.

"Back to ...... Put? ”

If you look closely, the two triangles facing left in a circle are the international playback patterns.

“Return!”

As Xingyu shouted, the light on the wall began to flow......

It's like turning on a projector, and it slowly becomes clear.

At the same time, the walls vibrate at an amplitude that humans cannot perceive, and they play the role of sound.

Finally, it's time to count.
