As long as the role played by the seven people dies early on a certain floor, then the promoters who land from the higher levels will directly jump to the lower level from one layer to the lower level-

"This means that judging the number of layers by the number of drops is inaccurate."

Chunbai said calmly: "In other words, every time you fall, it is possible to drop any number of layers. Therefore, we can only know the relative relationship between the upper and lower levels. ”

The old Overseer said, drawing the elven dagger from his waist and picking up a few empty cups from the round table.

He was extremely skillful and light, and with the tip of his sword carved the names of several people in Elven language on the rim of the cup.

Fox. Pure white. Jacaranda. Live silver. Detective.

The font is small, but delicate and clear.

"According to your testimonies, this is the way it is now."

Pure White whispered, starting from the side away from him.

Live Silver, Detective, Jacaranda, Fox, Pure White.

"The detective and the jacaranda killed the living silver in the middle twice. So he descended at least three floors, jumped directly to the fox level, and came to my level with the jacaranda.

"The jacaranda also went down twice, but only two floors.

"The detective went down three times in a row, Jacaranda, Fox, and I."

"Three times, ......"

Ivas sighed, "I can't even give you a round." How could you make such a simple mistake? ”

Under the gaze of everyone, Ivus looked at the "detective".

"When you first met, you told me ......' Jacaranda came down from a higher level to my floor."

- Have you seen the couple arguing in room 204? That woman was Jacaranda, but she wasn't yet. She's descended from the higher levels to my level, and we've already checked the information. After that I think she'll be down to this level soon...... She can back it up for my words.

The reporter's words resounded in the bottom of Aihuas's heart.

"But you soon realize that I'm a fox and I'm on your side. So you immediately revise your testimony. You say you've actually gone down twice. And you see the jacaranda after the first descent, killing the foreground. Saw me after the second descent. ”

"Because we didn't recognize each other's identities at that time."

The reporter smiled and said, "I don't know if you are friend or foe...... Of course I'm going to lie a little. If you can see through my lies directly, then you're Merlin - that makes sense, right? ”

Quite reasonable indeed.

In the absence of any evidence, Ivase's train of thought should have followed the reporter's lead. Because the only piece of information he could get at that time was this, and it was his only logical basis.

"You see, when I found out that you were a fox, I immediately revised my testimony......

The reporter said, looking at the jacaranda pitifully: "I saw you, right?" Not only that, but I also killed the front desk in front of you—"

“…… That is true. ”

Jacaranda also hesitated: "I did meet Mr. Reporter at that time. ”

"But it can't be ruled out that these two 'reporters' are the result of Merlin's play."

Chunbai said calmly and rationally.

Ivas clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back and leaned back in his chair: "You did revise your testimony, but there were new loopholes in it. ”

- I didn't see anyone on the first floor. In order to meet the other people, I immediately committed suicide and went down the next level. And on the upper floor, I saw the jacaranda. And at that time, I suspected that the front desk was Merlin...... Because he was deliberately procrastinating, making excuses to make me wait a little longer.

This is the testimony of the updated version of the journalist.

"You didn't see anyone, how did you kill the living silver?" Ivas asked.

"Ah, that explains that, too."

The reporter crossed his fingers to the table and said with a smile: "This is a bureau and a conspirator."

"What if I told you that I killed, or induced the promoters of this level, to kill certain people in certain layers according to a certain law, so that the number of times they fell was not related to the number of layers.

"How do you deduce what level you are on now?"

Speaking of this, the reporter raised his chin slightly and pointed at pure white: "Just like him."

"Is it true that he said he was born at this level?

"Maybe he was born on the upper level, and then killed everyone with that sword before killing himself...... And now it's actually the lower layer?

"In this way, there is one less layer of knowledge in all of you. And the existence of this layer is known only to pure white.

"Is it possible, then, that we are on the zero level right now?"

"So you admit it?"

Chun Bai said calmly, pointing the blade of the sword in his hand at the "reporter".

But at this moment, Ivas suddenly raised the gun in his hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun against the pure white temple.

"Don't move, Mr. Pure White...... Or Miss. ”

Ivus squinted his eyes and whispered, "Until everything is figured out, it's best not to use force...... It's better. ”

"You believe it?"

Pure White turned around and looked at Ivus and asked rhetorically.

"Because it's possible."

Ivas nodded, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "What do you think Merlin said when he revealed his identity...... Who are you talking to? ”

"He's talking to you."

Huoyin suddenly spoke, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Because he knows that you are suspicious." ”

"It's true, but it's not because I'm suspicious."

Ivas replied, "Rather, it is because he knows that my companions are not around." So I can't afford to gamble. ”

If the current reporter is Merlin, it means that there are still three people missing.

With the exception of Topa, two of Eivas' teammates were not present. In other words, they're all on other layers now.

While everyone's tasks are different, there will also be some common ones. For example, in this mission, "Kill Merlin" and "Kill Merlin on Floor Zero" should be the tasks assigned to everyone.

"If someone in a certain level dies, it will cause the higher promotion to skip this floor when they fall......

"Does that mean that as long as you are in the zero layer, which is the reality layer? So even if Merlin is killed, the person possessed by him will be eliminated directly? ”

Ivus said slowly.

It's like making a hole in the ground zero. The people on the first floor jumped down and fell directly through the hole into the bottomless abyss before they could land.

"It's the same way. If this is the Layer Zero, then no matter how much Merlin says, he just needs not to die. As long as anyone is killed, the person who has been robbed of Merlin's identity will be able to squeeze Merlin out as long as they fall to the zero floor before the end. ”

Ivus squinted his eyes and looked at the pure white with a calm expression: "In other words-

"If this is Level Zero, then you don't really care who Merlin is. You just have to find an excuse and kill any of the three of us.

"Whether he's Merlin or not, you'll all have a chance to clear the level."

This is the underlying logic of this ritual.

Or rather, this is the winning formula of this ritual.
