What puzzled her was that such precious spices were used as candles by Pusance, the legless, shriveled old woman. It seemed too extravagant no matter how you looked at it.
But now... or strictly speaking it should have been not long ago, she could finally guess why the incense was lit.
Because Sarah, the strongest person in the human world and Principal Puslint who holds many secrets, had "died" 22 years ago.
Those who can leave a record in the code book are all losers in the evil god's game without exception.
The loser must pay with his life. Although Grest is much stronger than others, he cannot violate this rule.
So either he was completely dead 22 years ago, or he became corrupt 22 years ago.
The world lost a scholar and school principal named Hiso-Grest, and gained a king of the sun-defying sun named Hiso-Deepness.
Xia Yibing said that Deepnes appeared suddenly, and before he appeared, they had never seen him on the wanted list of the Eclipse Church. This point could perfectly explain it.
However, some people cannot die easily because their existence is too important.
Sisso-Grest died in 1962, but due to practical needs, Purslane, the only winner of that evil game, had to keep him alive.
The method she used was puppets.
For 22 years, the public has known that Principal Puslint is just a puppet secretly controlled by a corrupt old man.
Her real body hides in the corridor of the dream world, while her consciousness controls the activities of the puppets in the dream world.
That's why Grace always wears a cloak and hood to prevent people from seeing his facial expression clearly.
Therefore, nourishing incense must be burned at the end of the corridor for a long time. Only in this way can Pusangsi's mental energy be replenished.
Xia Yibing was promoted to captain at such a young age. In addition to her outstanding combat ability, she also has an extremely active mind.
What Hitzfeld said was very vague. If an ordinary person listened to it, they might be confused and have no idea what she was talking about.
But Xia Yibing has been investigating this case for too long.
She was fully aware of all the details and clues, and her accumulated doubts were no less than Hitzfeld's. She just lacked an opportunity, a key thread to connect them all.
Now here comes this line.
She almost immediately grasped the truth that Hitzfeld had spent so much effort to uncover.
Then the first reaction was shock.
I was so shocked that I didn't want to believe it.
Grace has an absolute position in Sarah.
This cannot be simply summarized as "he is the strongest human being". In addition to serving as such a facade, his most important and precious value is actually that he holds the secret of how Puslint can survive in the dream world.
Just as Hitzfeld had suspected, the dream world was dangerous.
Ordinary people can only enter through nightmares, and if they are not careful they will be contaminated by nightmares and hatch nightmares.
Even if you are an extraordinary being, you have to be extremely cautious when walking in the dream world.
In this way, a dream city that can stand firm in the dense gray fog, a dream school that can gather all the extraordinary powers of mankind for further study and learning, how important and far-reaching its significance is, it is simply self-evident.
In such an era, whether it is "Grest's death" or "Grest's corruption and betrayal", it will cause subversive turmoil and impact on the human world.
Now that the principal of Pusilint is gone, what will happen to this dream city?
Can it continue to exist?
Even if it continues to exist, will people still dare to trust it?
Grace has been in the core circle of power for many years and knows many secrets. If he betrays, will these secrets also be passed on to the Eclipse Church, leading to the complete collapse of social order?
Don’t think about these messes now—
Forcing these thoughts down, Xia Yibing raised her hand to wipe the blood plasma off her face.
Since Pusance has been able to impersonate Grace for 22 years and maintain the stability of the situation during these 22 years, there is no need to worry about these things for the time being.
In comparison, the fact that they are in danger now and facing the King of Rebellion is more important.
"drag……"
She heard the gray-haired girl remind her in a tone softer than a whisper.
This was indeed the only solution Hitzfeld had.
Although she seized the opportunity to uncover the truth, she did not have time to further reverse the situation according to her reasoning.
Just a few dozen minutes.
But separated by a wall.
The King of Anti-Sun has arrived.
But seriously, she has no regrets.
What would happen if she wasn't here?
Deepnes and Aglaia might have just opened the bedroom door and gone to find Ferdinand.
According to the clues she has deduced so far, Ferdinand is the only one who can fight against the evil god.
Ferdinand must not die no matter what.
He must be alive to have hope!
So it has to be delayed.
She wanted to bet.
It's not about betting on the flare that was just fired, but about betting that Pusangs had already planned this.
yes……
Why did she dare to let Deepnes transform into his former appearance and bring Aglaia here directly? The principal she pretended to be did not stop her.
There must be a reason for this...
"madness."
At this moment, the tentacle monster who called himself Deepnes snorted.
"I know her just as well as she knows me."
"She deliberately put you in this dangerous situation. It seems that she knew that Nosa would not be able to survive until the next ceremony."
"...What do you mean?" Xia Yibing frowned, looking puzzled.
But Hitzfeld was startled.
The two eyes, one gold and one blue, slowly looked towards the woman's back, and his expression became somewhat gloomy.
Aglaia frowned, looked at the bedroom door which had been closed, bit her lower lip and stopped talking.
She was wondering what that man...the man she had hated for so many years, was thinking when he faced the same choice.
"What do you mean?"
A slit similar to lips appeared from among the layers of tentacles, and Deepnes sneered in a mocking manner.
"The ritual of honoring the gods is a test for mankind and it repeats itself every 11 years."
"The person who passed the test in 1962 was Jane Pruebe."
"From her, the Secret Keeper system was restarted and passed on. You found Nossa Ferdinand to be the second-generation Secret Keeper, made all the necessary preparations, and successfully made him pass the test again in 1973."
"Then, logically speaking, should this inheritance continue to be carried out?"
"In the next 1973 years after 11, 1984, which is this year, shouldn't they have already prepared the third generation of secret keepers?"
"At this time and place when the crisis breaks out, shouldn't the third generation of secret keepers face me?"
"……I can not understand what you say."
Xia Yibing's voice and heart were trembling.
She tried her best not to look at the people behind her, staring directly at the three "evil demons" across the corridor, and said harshly: "I only know that no matter what you are planning, you will never succeed..."
"Your name is Xiasha, right?" Deepnes tilted his head, stared at her with interest and said, "Hehe...Agent Xiasha."
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have had a tragic past and now you have no relatives."
"You have excellent professional qualities and are always vigilant towards everyone, even your colleagues."
"Shut up!"
The woman stared with bloodshot eyes.
“You damn…!”
"The reason we came here is to release the god in the book."
Deepness interrupted her directly.
"Now I'll tell you how to stop us... Just kill the one who loosened the seal."
"Yes... that's the one who opened the book and took a peek at the taboo."
"She's standing behind you now."
Chapter 68: Crazy Reason
Hitzfeld realized it earlier than Xia Yibing, but she didn't feel very angry.
This may be because she was in danger early on, and she has been thinking about the problem very calmly, even a little too calm.
But if you want to talk about shock, there is definitely some shock.
I'm afraid even Xia Yibing herself couldn't see it - those high and mighty people in power and rulers had quietly chosen her to be the third-generation secret keeper.
From a purely rational perspective, this is reasonable. She has enough hatred for the evil spirit. Her background, status, and position are all suitable for her to be this candidate.
But is what Deepnes said necessarily true?
She didn't believe it.
If what he said was true, then it meant that the solution to clear the evil god game... was to kill the person who touched the seal before the evil god was born.
This concept is too illusory.
This involves a question that she has never had time to think about: how exactly is the evil god game that she calls it and the test ritual that her enemies call it carried out?
Is it an illusion?
For example, all those touched by the curse will experience the test of humanity in the illusion, and only those with the strongest minds can come out of it.
Or does it happen completely in reality?
In reality, due to various coincidences - which can even be seen as the pull of fate, all the cursed people must make choices step by step.
In this process, they need to gradually abandon their persistence and principles and gradually become a completely different person from their original selves.
If they fail to follow through on this choice and have any doubt in the middle, they will become "Deepnes".
But even if they can implement it - because human nature cannot be completely cut off, they will inevitably become "Ferdinand" in the future.
"Don't be fooled by him."
She spoke coldly, using her firm voice to wake the woman up.
"Test templates are not set in stone, and there is no standard answer to this question."
Then, without waiting for the woman to react or for Deepness to say anything, Hitzfeld raised his gun and aimed at the rotten monster. The images seen by the two eyes overlapped at this moment.
Almost all of his energy was drawn up in an instant.
In Hitzfeld's eyes, she saw more than just the ugly monster in front of her.
Ugly monster, this is what the right eye sees.
In his left eye, there was a swirling gray fog in front of him. A naked woman with black curly hair was standing there with her head lowered, covering her face with her hands and sobbing silently.
"boom--"
As the gunshot rang out, blood burst out from the center of the monster's chest.
Both Deepnes and Aglaia were a little awed, because the power of this shot was far beyond their expectations.
Why are evil creatures so difficult for ordinary people to kill?
Because in most cases, evil creatures have the ability to sneak into the dream world.
