- Boundary wall, stage area. Grand Festival Operations Headquarters, Isolation Room.

In the room full of laid-back air, Kasukabe woke up.

My head was dull from a fever, and I was unconscious.

Sleeping comfortably, Yao rolled over in bed. Now she can only be sure that in addition to herself, there are also-

“…… Sixteen nights? And ······ Li Na? ”

"Oh? You're awake. How does it feel? Sixteen Night turned his head, and it seemed that he was sitting on the edge of Yao's bed reading a book.

"I didn't expect the Black Death to even invade your body." Li Na held a black mist in his hand.

"Hey! Don't play with this thing, it's dangerous. Sixteen Nights glanced at Lina.

"Don't worry."

Six days have passed since the negotiations. Among the [nameless] comrades, Yao was the only one who received the Black Death, and he is still locked up in an isolation room like this, acting separately from Black Rabbit and the others.

"That's... What the? Yao asked, looking at the black mist in Li Na's hand.

"Black Death." Li Na replied casually.

"Huh?"

"That demon king actually wanted to inject the Black Death virus into my body when he was fighting me, but he was rejected by my [On Externalization], and then I took it with my hand."

“········” You're great!

Should we say 'the artist is bold' or 'life never stops dying'? You dare to play with something like the Black Death!

"By the way, found a clue to crack the game?"

"Hmm...... Although it is generally understood, the core has not yet been dug into. Sixteen Night turned the page, shrugged his shoulders and replied, then looked at Li Na, "Anyway, this guy already knew, but he hasn't said it yet." ”

Tomorrow evening, the game will start again, but the opinions of the participants have not yet been integrated.

Seeing the scene of comrades who fell one after another being quarantined, it was really difficult to maintain high morale.

Although Yao was able to use a single room because of Sandora's special arrangement, almost all the other sick people were crammed into the Chase Shop.

In particular, the most influential problem is that the internal research of the participants on the conditions for victory: "Break the false inheritance, establish the true inheritance" has not yet found a unified answer, which is also one of the reasons why the opinions cannot be integrated.

And if Li Na said it, it would not be a unified opinion, so he simply didn't say it, so he said it on the sixteenth night.

"Even though the rough research has ended, the interpretation has diverged since then, and that's how it feels now."

“…… Specifically? ”

"Take it." Sixteen Night handed Yao a piece of paper, a notebook with his research on it.

Ratin = Devon's rat. A demonic incarnation that manipulates rats and human hearts.

Weser = the embodiment of a demon derived from natural phenomena such as land cataclysms, river flooding, and land fall.

Shotrom = Devon's Tempest, derived from the demonic incarnation of storms and other weather.

Pace= is based on speculation because the Spotted Clown was able to manipulate the Black Death's source [rats]. A demonic incarnation derived from the Black Death.

It is speculated that the "False Inheritance" and "True Inheritance" mean that the facts that happened in Hamel on June 26, 1284 must be chosen from among the above-mentioned demons.

However, none of this will lead them to victory, only ————

"It's almost time to say it, right? You know the truth. Sixteen Nights looked at Li Na, "It's just the three of us here." ”

“········” Li Na looked at Sixteen Nights fixedly and shrugged, "Okay." ”

"Haven't you all studied history? Although the inscription on the disappearance of 130 children in the real town of Hamel is clearly dated to 1284, the Black Death began to spread after 1350, and the reason why it became the cause of the children's deaths is that the Black Death pandemic after the 14th century was chiseled by later generations and compiled into the fairy tale "The Piper of Hamel". Sixteen Nights, who was still thinking about how he would answer, woke up in an instant.

"That guy, the body is the representative of the 80 million resentful spirits who died of the Black Death, the Black Death Spot Demon King. Hawkers~ The strength is only five figures, and even sixteen nights can be beaten. Li Na continued.

"As for the body that [shatters the false inheritance and establishes the true inheritance], I also know that it can be [broken] and [established] in pairs. The only possible object, then, is the Pied Piper's stained glass, which is displayed with the inscription in the town of Hamel. ”

In other words, the inheritance that breaks the hypocrisy. Does it mean to establish an authentic heritage, so that we can find out the real and fake in the stained glass on display? Yao muttered in a low voice.

"But even if you know the mystery............ Well, I honestly don't really know what to do. I guess it's to break the fake stained glass on display and establish the real thing...... However, the criteria for judging authenticity are not clear, and it is not clear which piece of stained glass other than Peste should be broken and erected. After all, there are more than a hundred pieces in total. In the end, I can probably only resign myself to fate and find a way to defeat the Demon King in tomorrow's game. ”

"Then you will find the stained glass, and I will be responsible for defeating the Demon King." Li Na proposed.

"How can it! Let Li Na ······ alone" Yao was the first to refuse.

"Will it work?" Sixteen Nights asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, my ability is just right to restrain the Black Death." The ability in Li Na's mouth is [On Externalization].

"That's good!" Sixteen Nights laughed, and then patted Li Na on the shoulder, "The Demon King will be handed over to you!" Oh! I also want to fight the Demon King, but listen, if you don't find those glasses as soon as possible, the second victory condition will not be completed~"

"Actually, you heard me say that she is weaker than you, so you don't want to fight, right?"

"Haha! You've guessed it! ”

“·········” Yao looked at the two of them helplessly.

"Oh, by the way, what about the White Yaksha?"

"It's still sealed in that balcony, and it's forbidden to touch it. In the end, I still couldn't figure out the conditions for her to enter the war. ”

"Really...... However, how did the other party seal her? Is there a sentence written on the inscription in the town of Hamel that can seal the Yakshas? ”

"How could it be. If you really want to talk about it, the Yaksha belongs to the Buddha realm. And the White Nakshatra does not seem to fit the strict definition of Nakshatra. I heard that she was to seal the power of the White Night Star Spirit that she originally had, so that she would take refuge in Buddhism so as to lower her spiritual personality. ”

“…… The original power? Yao tilted his head as he coughed.

"Well, it is said that the White Yasha has the solar sovereignty of the Hakoniwa world. Including the properties of the sun itself, and the mission of the sun—"

- Huh? Speaking of this, Sixteen Nights felt as if it had brought back some memories in his head.

............ the sun run?

"Did you notice that?" Li Na snapped his fingers.

"I see! I didn't expect you to think of it first! Rina! Combined with the time difference mentioned earlier, as well as the question of the White Yaksha being isolated, Sixteen Nights guessed the answer in an instant.

The so-called Black Death, which was widespread during the Xiaoice Age after the fourteenth century, was one of the worst plagues in human history. The disease causes sepsis, which causes people to die after having black spots all over their bodies. "Combined with the difference in the time I mentioned above, the time on the inscription is 1284, and the time when the Black Death began to spread greatly was after 1350, so Pest himself has nothing to do with The Pied Piper of Hamel." ”

"Finally, do you want me to prompt again~ The paint that needs to be broken?" Although there was no smile on Li Na's face, Sixteen Nights clearly felt the 'evil' smile under that unwavering countenance.
