Xiao Yan was faced with an unprecedented chaotic situation.

There is an Awakened One who has mutated in the inner space of the Shijie Tree, and this Awakened One has an astonishingly high concentration of teardrops in his veins before he dies. Then, the teardrops proved to have the potential to cause ordinary people to turn into "zombies". Then, Xiao Yan and the others arrived in Fuso, where a fire broke out in the Tokyo office of Fuso, and there was a rare foggy weather at Osaka Airport. When they make their way to the Kondo family, they are followed by crows all the way. After coming out of the Kondo family, traffic was again blocked, and at the same time, teardrops began to spread throughout Asia. As they left the city of Kurito and entered the Higashiyama Mountains, the hunt for their opponents began. However, this chase is completely thunderous and rainy. After that, I ran into this abandoned zombie village again.

It all seemed disorganized, and as Elisatia said, there could be an infinite number of inferences. The problem is that there is no valid evidence to prove the correctness of the inference, to be precise, there is no complete chain of evidence that can string these things together, which can be the outbreak of several events at the same time, or it can be the cause and effect of one thing.

The Awakened sometimes make decisions without the need for evidence, but at a time when things like these are completely messy, any erroneous inference could lead to further deterioration of the situation. Therefore, there must be a conclusive evidence for the Awakened to find the correct inference from the chaotic conditions.

Xiao Yan walked into the temple and sat on the stone steps by the door, the mountains and forests were extremely cold in the middle of the night, as for those stone steps. It made Xiao Yan feel cold. The coldness made him suddenly excited. The brain, which had been agitated by the chaos, finally gradually regained its sobriety.

He is the party. The experience is more and more direct, therefore, he should first keep a clear head.

Rubbing her face vigorously, Novelli walked in from outside, handed Xiao Yan a can of iced coffee, and asked, "What did you think of?" ”

"I'm rearranging these pieces in my head," Xiao Yan pointed to his head and made an exaggerated stirring motion. Then he whispered, "We don't have hard evidence, but what happened is evidence." We don't have a complete chain of evidence, but I just thought that maybe that's the way our opponents do things. ”

Novelli nodded and said, "Tell me, I'm curious about all of this too. ”

"You see, the whole thing is made up of several parts, the fog at the Osaka airport and the unusual weather around Kyoto, it's one part. We were tracked and hunted by crows as part of the second part. Teardrops spread throughout Asia. is the third part. Here I saw a village suspected of being infected by teardrops, which is the fourth part. zuihou。 Akira Kondo found a strange passage in his room, which can be considered the fifth part or not, after all, it has nothing to do with our current situation. ”

"Until then, we had always thought that these things were interconnected, so we habitually conflated these things, thinking that if one of the problems was solved, the others would be solved smoothly."

Xiao Yan opened the coffee can, looked up and took a big sip, the cold liquid caused his throat to be violently irritated, and after he let out an exclamation of "ah", he continued: "Because we think so, we pile all these things together, and then try to find the chain of evidence that may not exist at all, and in the end we are just asking for trouble." The chaos is more chaotic, and the distance from the real goal is getting stricter and stricter. ”

After a pause, he seemed to be trying to figure out how to organize the vocabulary in his head, and after Novelli quietly took a sip of coffee, the Young Awakened spoke again: "Didn't we already have doubts before this? has the strength to manipulate the weather, and Weishenme's pursuit of us has to hide and hide, and the contradiction between the two is very big. ”

"So I thought, maybe it's just two different opponents. A formidable opponent has the ability to control the weather, but cannot clear us. Another opponent can attack us, but it needs enough cover. ”

Looking at Novoli, Xiao Yan continued: "After thinking like this just now, I suddenly felt that Weishenme can't see the whole thing as a different enemy? They each did their part of the thing, and as a result, they were confused with each other. But this kind of chaos happens to make it difficult for us who are stuck in habitual thinking to start. ”

Novelli nodded, "It's a good idea, at least that makes the mess seem organized." ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Yes, a large but chaotic opponent, its various parts are fighting on their own, and all jihua are temporary ideas. There is no complete contingency plan. That's why there is such a complicated situation, and our visit to Fuso is a trigger for their actions. Imagine that our adversary is a huge company, what will they do when the news of our departure comes? ”

Novelli shrugged her shoulders and said, "They need to know that you weishenme are so anxious to come to Fuso, what do you want to know and what do you get." ”

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this company has such doubts, but at the same time, there are other departments in this company that do not have such doubts, in the eyes of those people, it is easier to kill me directly." ”

Novelli tapped her tail finger on the iron coffee can and whispered, "But the two departments didn't communicate at all, and they began to act separately." The weather changes around Kyoto are the work of one department, and the surveillance and hunting of us is the work of another. Because the pursuit of Jihua was so hasty, it was too late to think about more back-ups. But when we look at what these two departments are doing as a whole, we find it strange that chaos arises. ”

Xiao Yan drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp and said, "That's right, Kondo's matter has nothing to do with these two departments, but it touched the third department, and when we found the anomaly from Kondo, the third department also mixed in." ”

"As a result, we are faced with an increasingly chaotic and complex situation, so that the real core of the problem has not been found. Remember what those crows were doing when we entered the East Mountain? ”

Xiao Yan didn't wait for Noveri's answer, he already took care of himself and continued: "They want to stop us, Weishenme, because the second department thinks that we may go to this Pochunyu village, and in order to avoid the situation from escalating, the second department can only rush to fight. The existence of this village is not controlled by a second department, but by a new department. This would also explain the fact that when we were fighting the crows, the guards of this village did not participate in our battle in the first place. It can also be explained that Weishenme's pursuit of us actually led me to this village, because the second department did not expect us to come here. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yan stood up, looked at the darkness outside the temple gate, and said, "The first department is responsible for reconnaissance, the second part is responsible for hunting and killing, the third part is responsible for the spread of teardrops, and the fourth part is responsible for the study of teardrops. If it can be confirmed that these people were indeed infected by teardrops, then this inference should be valid. As far as we know, these four departments are not under their own control, and there is no information communication between them, let alone cooperation with each other. In the case of Akira Kondo and Yuhoshi Takemiya, we should consider the third department first, but until now, we have been in contact with other departments. It's like going in the opposite direction, it looks like it's getting closer to the target, but it's actually getting farther and farther away. ”

Novelli looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "This inference sounds very good, what's the matter, you don't think you're satisfied?" ”

“weishenme？ I mean, weishenme we're going to come here? The Dongshan Mountains are so big, and this village is dark, and it is more likely that we will not be able to find this village than if we find it. Coincidence will not solve this problem. ”

Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "If the first half of the inference is correct, then the coincidence of this village should be the biggest flaw in the entire inference. Besides, who set that fire in Tokyo? ”

Novelli shook her head and said, "I don't care about the coincidence you said, what I care more about is that it is really incomprehensible that such a 'big company' will appear in Weishenme, and it can have such a large scale and such a scattered structure." ”

"This demon is not Torge," Xiao Yan said with a frown, "Therefore, it is impossible for it to fully understand the structure of the company and manage its subordinates with the structure of a modern company. However, there is also a question here, whether this demon really has subordinates, who are these subordinates, and even whether it is a demon or not, we still have no answer. ”

Noveri nodded and said, "Until there is no evidence that Teardrops are actually connected to the Martial Palace Wandering Star Mutation, demons are indeed not our only option. ”

When the two of them said this, they looked at each other, and they both smiled bitterly. Although the analysis is already organized, there is no evidence, and such an analysis is simply untenable. Xiao Yan clearly remembers that when he fought with Charlotte in Paris, it was because there was no actual evidence that his inferences kept appearing. The experience of being played by Charlotte in the end.

With such a lesson from the past, Xiao Yan is much more cautious now. Especially when it comes to demons, he's been a lot more careful than before.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and then, Chuan Shoujing walked in with a few strangely dressed people.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "These are all your friends?" (To be continued......)
