Chapter 517: Masquerade

The old pedant looked at Binks quietly, and after a while, said, "You won't be the last one, will you?" "Me? Binks was stunned for a moment, then laughed maniacally, "Hahahahaha! It was as if a demonic laugh emanated from Binks's two-eight-meter body, and it looked very incongruous, like a bean burning with a raging fire. Everyone silently watched Binks "go crazy".

"Your words are simply ridiculous!" After Binks finished speaking, he felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he pulled out two sentences from his clever head, "It's the big mistake of the world!" It's the fallacy of the ancients! "Who else could it be? The old pedant said as he shifted his gaze to the motionless gorilla, "It can't be this strange guy next to you, right?" "Of course not. Binks smiled contemptuously, "Can I take you over for a moment?" ”

"Me?" The old pedant's snow-white eyebrows slowly twisted into a ball, "Why?" "Because you're the last piece of the puzzle. "Rest assured, I promise there is no danger." "Two points. The old pedant obviously didn't think much of Binks, and he stretched out two fingers and said slowly, "First, what do you mean by the phrase I'm the last puzzle?" Second, how can you guarantee that I am not in danger? ”

"I'll answer your second question first," Binks said proudly, "I said I had seen through everything. I know what happened in the arena and what happens next, so I can keep you safe. ”

"Hmph." The old pedant smiled noncommittally.

"Now to answer your first question," said Binks suddenly aloud, "you are the seventh person with a star on his forehead!" "What, what? Even if he didn't look down on Binks anymore, the old pedant was taken aback, but he quickly calmed down.

"Hmph." The old scholar sneered twice, then looked around and said proudly, "Who would believe the words of this little ghost?" "That's it! A staunch follower of the old pedant, the first boss immediately chimed in.

"I don't like this guy either." The boy, who was also a little ghost, said with an unhappy face, "Always thinking about showing yourself." "Hmph. The hungry woman didn't look down on Binks, and she said coldly, "It's just a stinky little devil who hasn't dried up!" ”

In the face of the crowd's almost invective voices, Binks didn't care about it. Of course, just on his face, his heart has already turned upside down! 
Stinky old man. Who would believe me, a little ghost? If you want to live well, it's better to believe it!

The stinky man who can only say "yes" must have been a "castration lover" in the palace in his last life!

Stinky imps. You just want to show off, do you have this wisdom? Are you on the runway of life?

Also, stinky woman. What is milk smell that has not dried? Even if the milk stinks and doesn't dry, Lao Tzu is much wiser than an older woman of your age!

Binks quietly completed the counterattack against everyone, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Go on, go on." Binks looked like he was enjoying it.

"Continue with what?" The old pedant said unhappily.

"Keep attacking me and vent your frustration." 
"Hmph. The old pedant pouted, "Don't think of yourself as important. Attacking you? I don't have that much time to spare. "Good, good. "Keep up this arrogant attitude, and you'll see the end result in no time." "What, what? "That star, I guess, will soon emerge from your forehead! Binks said with certainty.

“…… Stinky imps. The old pedant quickly calmed down, and said proudly, "We'll see." "We'll see. After Binks finished speaking, he raised his little head and stared at the old pedant without giving an inch.

Although both of them said "we'll see", neither of them moved a single step. They looked at each other as if they were competing for internal strength, motionless, wishing they hadn't even blinked their eyes.

Gradually, a flame of irritability rose from the bottom of Binx's heart.

How is it that the star that symbolizes light has not yet appeared on the old man's forehead? Am I guessing wrong?

No. No way. 
Seven people, seven people with stars on their foreheads, that clearly refers to that thing. And there are the first six corroborating evidences, and I am never wrong in guessing!

But why didn't the last star appear? Isn't it this old man? Who else could there be? 
Thinking of this, Binks finally looked away and began to look for it in the arena.

"Hmph." Seeing that Binks looked away, the old pedant said disdainfully in a triumphant tone, "Boring." ”

At this moment, the motionless gorilla "woke up".

"Ah~" Ah Gorilla first let out a long sigh of relief, and then moved his stiff arm.

The last operation is over, and the ape is full of harvest.

"Everybody's dumbfounded!"

Binks thought to himself after searching for it. Except for the arrogant old man, no one could take on this responsibility, and he was not wrong. But why don't the stars appear?

No matter, I can't wait, I'm about to uncover all this!

"Even though the evidence isn't quite there," Binks suddenly shouted, "I can't help but say everything." This time, Binks' words drew ridicule.

"It's ridiculous." Peter was the first to ask, "Would you say something like that?" ”

"It's just, it's a trick." The fat man squatting on the ground said, "If you have this time, you might as well eat a few more chicken legs." ”

On the other side of the arena, the old pedant also spoke, "Uncover everything, always talk about revealing everything, but in reality nothing can be said." "It is. "The staunchest supporter, the first CEO", "came as scheduled", "What's the use of shaking your wit?" With this time, let alone uncover everything, even if it is more than enough to uncover three cuts. "Jumping clowns. The hungry woman said disdainfully.

"Enough!" Binks exclaimed, "Although I am often hated because of my high talents, and I almost grew up with jealousy like yours, this does not mean that my patience is infinite! "It seems that this jealous voice is really hindering your growth. The old pedant said jokingly, "Otherwise, at your age, you should have the height to get on the bus and buy a ticket." ”

"Growing up doesn't just mean being taller!" Binks blushed and confronted, "It's not just a pile of age. It's the way we look at problems and the depth with which we look at them! "Hmph. The old pedant sneered twice, "Not even the height, where does the depth come from?" ”

The old pedant's words drew laughter.

It was at this "eternal mockery" that Binks spoke.

"You're just a chess piece!" 
"You, what did you say? The old pedant immediately stopped laughing.

"It's not just you," Bingkston continued, "that in this masquerade, the gods need seven chess pieces. "Masquerade? The old pedant repeated, "What masquerade?" ”

At this moment, all the laughter stopped, and everyone looked at Binks in a daze.

"Laugh, laugh." Binks was very proud, he looked around and said proudly, "Why don't you all laugh?" It's just right, you don't laugh, I laugh! After saying that, no one around Binks burst out laughing, and the laughter was interspersed with venting words.

"Hahahaha! A bunch of idiots. Don't despise me because I'm small, because all of you together don't have a tenth of my brain capacity. Hahahaha! Silly now, right? I've said it a long time ago, I understand what's going on in this arena and what will happen next. And no one but me saw through this. Hahahaha! ”

Binks finished his almost crazy words, but he suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely. 
What's wrong? Why are they all looking at me like that? Are you all scared silly? 
Just as Binks was about to speak, the old pedant spoke first.

"Also, you say it's not you?" The old pedant said in a trembling voice, "Obviously, it's you!" "What? Binks was puzzled, "What is me?" "Stars. The hungry woman screamed, "You're the last one!" "Stars? Binks muttered, "What star?" "You, haven't you found out yet? "You have a star on your forehead!" said the old pedant. "What, what? At this moment, Binks was stupid.

How to describe this moment? It's like building a castle with building blocks, the front is going well, and seeing that the majestic castle is about to take shape, you just need to put the last block on the towering spire of the castle, but it is this last block that has a problem. Whether it's the wrong size or the wrong weight, in short, the moment you put the last brick on it, the whole castle collapsed!

"And say I have a star on my forehead? Now we know who it is. Looking at Binks, who was completely stupid, the old pedant gloated and said, "And you need seven chess pieces for a masquerade ball?" Now that you've got all seven actors, please start your show. ”

At the words of the old pedant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know why it must be seven people, but anyway, these seven roles have been assigned, does this mean that I am safe for the time being?

It's not surprising that everyone thinks so, because the second round of group competition left an indelible impression on them!

At that moment, Gorilla silently walked to the center of the stage, where Binks was still standing and muttering to himself.

"Why, why me?" 
"Because you're smart. Gorilla said suddenly.

"Satoshi, smart?" Binks blinked hard, "Should you be smart and be chosen?" "I'm not done yet. Agora smiled, "Cleverness shouldn't be chosen, but arrogance due to cleverness is not necessarily." ”
