I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 20 The Priestess

"I hope you can find clues, but to be on the safe side, I hope you won't go to the same place as us. Next, my companions and I will take action first."

After Luo Minxi finished speaking, she walked out of the classroom with the other two young men around her. Immediately afterwards, Yu Ziming and Gao Chengwen also left the teaching building with their respective teams.

Standing by the window and watching the departing figures of those people, Lin Yuanqi suddenly sighed heavily: "It seems that the situation will collapse soon and develop in the direction I least want to see. Oh, I have a headache!"

"

"Ah, what do you mean?"

Mu Jiu was confused for a moment: "You mean, they say that they are a vulnerable group and will not grab Tarot cards and are wary of us, but in fact, they are lying?"

"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean yet. But young man, you will understand soon."

Lin Yuanqi patted Mu Jiu's shoulder with a half-smile. The latter looked confused, but found that the expressions on the faces of He Luo, Ling Yun, Shen Tinglan and others were a little subtle.

"Let's go, we can't continue to waste time here."

Just as Mu Jiu was about to ask Holo, the latter suddenly spoke: "But this school is so big, so we can't search randomly. The three teams have already chosen places. Do you have any questions about where to look for clues next?

Any ideas?”

"Although judging from the background of the story, the witch is probably dead long ago. But what makes me feel strange is that she never shows her true face to others, and always uses radio to communicate with everyone."

Shen Tinglan said: "This has to make me doubt the true face of the witch: I even wonder if, like the ghost director who patrols the building in the girls' dormitory, the witch actually has a physical body.

?”

"And compared to other ghosts, its ability is not that strong."

Su Li rarely spoke and added: "That's why it is so cunning and has many tricks. Otherwise, with its cruel and murderous character, it could have come out to catch us personally instead of asking us to find it."

"It makes sense! Looking back now, the game rules that restrict players from banning superpowers and props were not made by the witch, but by the space. In the first level of the secret room, I saw with my own eyes a player who violated the rules was killed. And she died.

The method is exactly the same as how space punishes defectors.”

Hearing what Mu Jiu said, Shen Tinglan also affirmed as he recalled the scene of player death he saw in the laboratory building.

Zhang Kai said: "Just like how many games deliberately weaken the overly powerful side to ensure that the two sides are similar in order to achieve balance. Now we are weakened in space to ensure the fairness of the game. That is to say, this witch is fundamentally

Not great!"

Su Li nodded. She had seen through this from the beginning of the game.

"When you calm down and think about it, Ark is the only one who truly controls the situation. From beginning to end, the witch is just like us and must abide by the rules of the game."

Tang Yao's eyes lit up: "If the player loses and has to be punished, then similarly, if we find it, we will also have to pay the price."

"So, in the hide-and-seek level, the witch will definitely try its best to provoke the players to fight among themselves, hiding in the dark and watching us fight each other. Once the game is over, it will become the biggest winner unscathed."

Tang Yao concluded.

"Smart." Ling Yun couldn't help but praise. Tang Yao's rapid growth surprised him.

"It's so despicable! We must not be fooled by it!"

Mu Jiu punched her thigh hard: "If the space hadn't restricted my performance now, otherwise I would have blasted it until even its ashes were left!"

"Not only us, but others must have guessed this too. Judging from the direction in which Luo Minxi and his group left, they were heading to the campus broadcast room, which is Building A of the office building."

Ling Yun glanced at the floor plan in his hand and said quickly: "After all, the Witch has been communicating with us through broadcasts before, and there are also cameras installed everywhere in the school. Teams of Yu Ziming or Gao Chengwen will definitely

Go to the computer room in the office building or laboratory building and search the control room. Since the witch is a physical ghost with weak abilities, it is actually not difficult to find her."

Hearing this, Holo couldn't help but ask: "Then where should we start?"

"Everyone, take a look at your own tarot cards first." Ling Yun said and took out his own from his pocket.

When a group of them walked out of the teaching building, everyone suddenly discovered that a piece of text appeared on the cards in their hands.

"These cards are props? You are really right!" Xu Li looked at Lin Yuanqi in surprise.

While everyone was still thinking about how to use the cards in their hands, Ling Yun took the Priestess Tarot card, pointed to the teaching building A next door, and spoke first: "There are clues about the whereabouts of the witch hidden there. My

The tarot cards have given instructions."

The priestess card held by Ling Yun has the power of prophecy.

When the holder is close to the place where the clue is hidden, this card will react, and the user can decide whether to enter the area where the clue is. After that, the priestess will give a new prompt.

"The witch never lies, but she only tells half the truth. What does this mean?" Tang Yao stepped forward and felt a little strange after seeing the text under the priestess card.

"Priestess symbolizes [wisdom] and [prophecy] in Tarot cards. Therefore, after holding this card, Ling Yun can obtain some information that others do not know. But correspondingly, in Tarot cards, women

The priest card also has the characteristic of [cognitive bias]." Su Li, who had been silent at first, suddenly spoke.

She stepped forward, took a look at the card, and said slowly: "So... the clues given in this tarot card may not be complete, and may even hide some special information, so you need to make careful judgments."

Ling Yun nodded and responded: "That's right. Fortunately, this card is not a devil card that symbolizes [fraud]. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to believe a word of the information above. In any case, there must be clues in Building A of the teaching building. The priestess is

I won’t lie. But we have to be careful. Where there are clues, there are always dangers.”

"Wow, you need to combine the characteristics of the cards to analyze the abilities!"

Mu Jiu scratched her head frantically, pointed to the [Wheel of Fortune] in her hand, and said to Su Li: "Beauty, I think you seem to know Tarot cards quite well. Can you tell me what this card represents?

What and how does it work?"

The card in Mu Jiu's hand is a yellow turntable. Above the turntable, there is a sphinx, which symbolizes an angel; and below it is a devil. The turntable is surrounded by goddesses, swans, poisonous snakes, etc. that symbolize various situations in fate.

At first glance, it seems a bit confusing.

"The wheel of fortune symbolizes the fickleness of fate. No one can resist the changes in fate. No one knows what will happen next, and no one can predict whether it will be luck or misfortune. The wheel of fortune keeps turning in the tarot cards.

, sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad, it’s a fair cycle.”

After listening to Su Li's interpretation, Mu Jiu frowned and thought hard for a few seconds, and said with some uncertainty: "That is to say... the ability of my card is very passive and will only come into play at critical moments, right? And...

According to you, it might be possible that it would allow me to escape death, but it might also be possible that it would kill me?"

"Yes." Su Li replied.

In addition to Mu Jiu, Holo holds a [Star] card; Zhang Kai holds a [Judgement] card; Xu Li [Queen]; Fang Yuankui [Chariot]; Joey Yang [Magician].

After reinterpreting everyone's cards, everyone found that the only ones that could actively activate skills similar to the Priestess card in Ling Yun's hand were Fang Yuankui's [Chariot], Joey Yang's [Magician], and Su Li's [Invisible].

[The God of Death] and Lin Yuanqi’s [God of Death].

Su Li told everyone: Since each Tarot card has two interpretations, upright and reverse, that is, positive and negative; if used improperly, it is likely to cause harm to the holder.
