Pastor's Tantra

As long as the roles played by the seven people die early on a certain level, then the promoted people who landed from a higher level will jump directly to the lower level -

“This means that judging the number of layers by the number of drops is no longer accurate.

Chunbai said calmly: "In other words, every time you drop, you may drop any number of levels. Therefore, we can only know the relative up-down relationship."

As the old supervisor spoke, he took out the elf dagger from his waist and picked up a few empty cups from the round table.

With great skill and dexterity, he used the tip of his sword to carve several people's names in Elvish language on the rim of the cup.

fox. pure white. Jacaranda. Living silver. detective.

The font is small, but delicate and clear.

"Based on your testimony, this is the current situation."

Junbai said softly, placing the cup from the side away from her.

In order, they are Living Silver, Detective, Jacaranda, Fox, and Pure White.

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

“The jacaranda also fell twice, but only down two levels.

"The detective dropped three times in a row, namely Jacaranda, Fox, and me."

"Three times..."

Aiwass sighed: "This is too much for you. How could you make such a simple mistake?"

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

"When we first met, what you told me was...'Jacaranda came down from a higher level to my level before.'"

——Have you seen the couple quarreling in room 204? That woman is Jacaranda, but she is not yet. She had come down from a higher level to my level before, and we had already exchanged intelligence. Then I thought she would be down to this level soon...she could back up my words.

The reporter's words echoed in Aiwass's heart.

"But you soon realized that I was the fox, on the same side as you. So you immediately changed your testimony. You said that you had actually descended twice. And you saw Jacaranda after the first descent , killed the front desk. Saw me after the second drop."

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

The reporter said with a smile: "I don't know if you are an enemy or a friend... Of course you have to lie a little. If you can directly see through my lies, then it means you are Merlin - this is reasonable, right?"

Very reasonable indeed.

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

"Look, after I found out you were a fox, I immediately changed my testimony..."

The reporter said, looking pitifully at Jacaranda: "I saw you, right? Not only that, I also killed the receptionist in front of you -"

"……Is such that.

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

"But it cannot be ruled out that these two 'reporters' were both played by Merlin."

Junbai said calmly and rationally.

Aiwass crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair: "You did change your testimony, but there are new loopholes in it."

——I didn’t see anyone on the first floor. In order not to miss meeting other people, I immediately committed suicide and went downstairs. And on the upper floor, I saw the jacaranda. At that time, I suspected that the receptionist was Merlin... because he was deliberately stalling for time and making excuses to make me wait a little longer.

This is the reporter’s updated version of the testimony.

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

"Ah, that can be explained."

The reporter crossed his fingers at the table and said with a smile: "This is a game and a conspiracy.

"If I tell you, I follow a certain rule to kill, or induce the promoted people in this layer to kill certain people in certain layers, so that the number of times they fall has nothing to do with the number of layers.

"How should you deduce which level you are on now?"

Having said this, the reporter raised his chin slightly and pointed at Chunbai: "Take him for example.

“He said he was born on this level, is this true?

"Perhaps he was actually born on the upper level, and then killed everyone with that sword before committing suicide... And now he is actually on the lower level?

"In this way, all of you are missing a layer of cognition. And the existence of this layer is only known by Pure White.

"So is there a possibility that what we are currently on is the zero level?"

"So do you admit it?"

Junbai said calmly, pointing the sword blade in his hand at the "reporter".

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

"Don't move, Mr. Pure White...or Miss."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Before we figure everything out, it's better not to use force...it's better."

"You believe it?"

Chunbai turned around, looked at Aiwass and asked.

"Because it's possible."

Aiwass nodded and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Who do you think Merlin was talking to when he revealed his identity and said those words...?"

"He's talking to you."

Huo Yin suddenly spoke, the corners of his mouth raised: "Because he knows you are very suspicious."

"You are indeed talking to me, but not because I am paranoid."

Aiwass replied: "It's because he knows that none of my companions are around. So I can't afford to gamble."

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

Aside from Topa, two of Aiwass' teammates were not present. In other words, they are now on other levels.

Although everyone's tasks are different, there are some common tasks. For example, in this mission, "Kill Merlin" and "Kill Merlin on the zero level" should be the tasks assigned to everyone.

"If someone on a certain level dies, it will cause the person promoted to the higher level to skip this level directly when they fall...

"Does that mean that as long as we are on the zero level, which is the reality level, then even if Merlin is killed, the person possessed by him will be eliminated directly?"

Aiwass said slowly.

It's like punching 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 even landed.

"Similarly. If this is the zeroth floor, then no matter how flattering Merlin is, all he has to do is not die. And if he only needs to kill anyone, then the person whose identity was robbed by Merlin only needs to fall to the zeroth floor before the end. , we can squeeze Merlin out."

Aiwass squinted his eyes and looked at Pure White with a calm expression: "In other words -

"If this is the zero level, then you actually don't care who Merlin is. You just need to find an excuse to kill any one of the three of us.

"Whether he is Merlin or not, you all have a chance to pass the level."

This is the deep logic hidden in this ceremony.

In other words, this is the sure way to win this ceremony.
