...

"Is this an oracle?"

A female voice came from the cave covered by layers of weeds.

The woman squatted down, checked the blood-red lines on the rock wall, and tried hard to identify the lines.

"This is..." She approached the lines and rubbed her fingers against the rough wall: "A bloody, crow?"

She couldn't see the outlined pattern clearly, and only vaguely saw that it was the shape of a bird. When she touched her hand, the system told her that she had found an oracle and could submit it immediately. Once submitted, all participants would immediately call for a voting meeting.

Leslie narrowed her eyes and stood up, her eyes flashing.

She is not at the top 100 players, but she is very famous. Before the game started, she was a first-line actress in the Eagle Kingdom. She was targeted, threatened, and even on the verge of losing her family because of her disobedience.

Finally, she gave up her self-esteem and the last bit of concern and tried every means to retaliate against those who persecuted her.

Of course, she is just an actor with good looks and acting skills. She has no shortage of such people in Eagle Kingdom. Without background, those who can help her are just "playing" with her and will not really provoke anything for her. Her revenge plan failed naturally.

However, by chance, her purpose was achieved again.

...because of the world game.

After she made her mark and gradually showed her strong adaptability to the dungeon, she became far stronger than ordinary people. Faced with those enemies who were also selected, she just moved her mouth, and countless people who looked down on her before, squeezed her head and pleased her.

This made Leslie gradually realize that what restricted herself in the past was not her ability, but the world itself. She had previously... lived in a world where she could not show her suitable ability.

And now, in such a world, she is like a fish in water.

Here, she became stronger, stood higher, looked farther, and became completely the "bad woman" mentioned by people on the forum. But she didn't care. In fact, she liked this title very much, which made her feel very cool.

Her hand was placed on a pattern called "Oracle" and saw a line of blood slowly appearing.

...

Leslie heard such a system prompt.

"This oracle should... not submit it for now." She took her hand back. Karna, the leader who knew her identity, nodded beside her.

And at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the cave.

Leslie was alert immediately, but before she could leave, she saw the few people she least wanted to see.

There is no other escape route in this cave. Now it is blocked inside, so she can't even run away.

"There are people inside." Lu Shu walked in, holding a knife for cutting grass in his hand. It seemed that he had been shattering all the way, with traces of grass leaves on his body.

Next to him was Yamada Machiichi in a dress. His body was quite clean.

It is obvious that Lu Shu was used as a weeder.

As he approached, Lu Shu suddenly recognized the bloody pattern on the mountain wall: "This bird...is a raven?"

While they were attracted by the oracle, Leslie began to retreat slightly.

“——Raw?”

What scared Leslie the most happened.

With a familiar voice, a figure she least wanted to see appeared at the entrance of the cave.

It's Su Ming'an.

Beside him was a man covered in a dark robe.

The man in the robe looked even more unique. He walked with a domineering posture, twisted left and right, and looked very arrogant, with a kind of beach crab.

"That robe man is, the first guide..." Leslie took a step back, trying to reduce her presence.

Just so happened that Su Mingan's gaze was not on her at all, but was staring at the patterns on the mountain wall.

"This blood-colored pattern is painted with ravens," said Lu Shu. "Among birds, it is the largest category of brains. It is believed to have advanced intelligence and can solve some small intellectual problems. Their pronunciation is also very broad, and it can imitate the sound of the environment and even imitate human speech."

Su Mingan looked at the pattern and received a system prompt for discovering clues.

"Leslie, do you have any clues to master the 'ghost'?" Su Mingan suddenly turned around and asked Leslie.

"...For the time being, not yet." Leslie knew that she could not hide, so she could only correct her expression and said, "I have been exploring alone since I just scattered with everyone, and I have found this oracle. If Lu Shu said it well, the pattern was painted as a raven... In our myths, the raven is often associated with the word devil, and it is regarded as a representative of intelligence, darkness, sadness and death. In Nordic myths, Odin also has the opinion of ordinary ravens, and its intelligent name is almost as loud as its dangerous name."

She said something about the raven and concealed her behavior that she did not submit the oracle as soon as possible.

"...In addition, in the Old Testament, there are several places that mention ravens, which are travelers in the dark sky. In many myths, ravens also have different meanings. For example, a symbol of ravens, the image of the hero Kuchulin after his death, or amulets against foreign invasions..." As she said, she seemed to be intrigued and talked to the wall: "... Ravens are often associated with the image of 'mysterious', and they are regarded by some cultures as symbols and guardians in the dark night. According to legend, during the reign of Charles II, because ravens in the Tower of London were flooded, royal astronomers complained to the king and asked to order the removal of ravens..."

When Su Mingan listened to Leslie's words, he suddenly realized that these players on the list were really not parallel products. Even if they were just birds, they could quote scriptures and tell a large number of myths and legends.

In fact, this is also a necessary quality for intellectual players. Some clues do require a certain amount of knowledge to form further inferences, otherwise the players will only spin like headless flies. Just as archaeologists, homestay scholars, and occult scholars will be high-risk professions in the running group, they are really very important.

Among the intellectual line players on the list, there are actually many of them who have really worked in such a profession. They have a universal encyclopedia in their minds.

Lu Shu just recognized a raven, but Leslie seemed to have started a big library model and told all the stories about ravens, even in detail and clearly organized, like a teacher who prepared a lesson.

"...However, just when the king was about to clear these ravens, the ancient prophecy said: 'Once the ravens fly away, the Tower of London will collapse and Gran will suffer bad luck'. Therefore, Charles II had to take back his destiny. Since then, ravens have multiplied in the tower. Since then, all monarchs have regarded ravens as a symbol of the rise and fall of the country..." Leslie blinked:

“…To ensure that they become permanent residents of the tower, these ravens were cut off part of their flying feathers to avoid the fulfillment of the prophecy.

In modern society, ravens still exist. They are often kept in towers and are regularly cut off to ensure that they cannot leave. Of course, they have also become one of the goals of tourists' visits and have driven the development of the tourism economy..."

It is said that wise people are the most beautiful.

At this time, Leslie, who was talking about these, seemed to the audience that her charm value had increased more than one level.

She stood in the dark cave, and the light from the guide's hand shone on her face. Her passionate and deep-lined facial features looked perfect at this time. She was like a goddess of wisdom standing under the light.

From Leslie's words, it can be seen that "raven" is not only related to gods, but can even be regarded as "God envoys", and its image is related to danger and the night.

And for the prophecy that "the raven will bring disaster" it is kept in the tower, and its feathers are regularly cut off and cannot fly away.

Although the culture on Zhai Xing may not be consistent with this dome, can the raven pattern appear next to the oracle be related to what Leslie said?

Seeing Su Mingan fall into thinking, Leslie closed her mouth, moved her head slightly, and glanced at the first guide next to her.

The first guide was covered in his robe, but from his height and figure, he should be a woman.

From the moment it appeared, the man in the robe just stood beside Su Mingan, but his posture was extremely arrogant. He put his hands on his hips, his feet spread apart, and his head was raised high, like an octopus with fangs and claws.

For some reason, Leslie felt a strong pressure from this person.

Even though the opponent's energy fluctuation was not leaked, and his posture was even very exaggerated, Leslie felt a pressure. Perhaps this was the realm of the strongest guide, and if she didn't move, she could defeat others' soldiers...

Suddenly, Su Mingan pressed the pattern on his hand: "Submit the oracle."

Leslie was slightly stunned.

The next moment, a white light suddenly surrounded several people. When they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived in another small space.

This is an airtight house with a dark light, a faint candle burning on the round table, and there is a brass pointer in front of everyone.

[The contestant (Su Ming'an) submitted an oracle.]

[You can call a meeting on the open now. After five minutes of discussion, please move the pointer in front of you and select the person to be exiled.]

[The 'ghost' is exiled and will be eliminated directly. The 'people' will be exiled and will be blessed with 100% of their strength. Please choose carefully.]

...

When Su Mingan came to this gloomy house, he saw that there were only nine people left in these sixteen locations.

Just one afternoon, seven people were eliminated.

"The first player."

Before the meeting started, Leslie next to him spoke: "When the meeting ends, we will definitely return to our original position. I am a 'person'. I will vote with you in this game. In exchange, please wait and don't kill me."

She knew that even in the daytime, even if Su Mingan herself could not take action, Su Mingan had already tied up three votes, and coupled with the existence of the first guide around him, she had no ability to compete.

After hearing Leslie's words, Elvin, who was sitting opposite the table, narrowed his eyes.

He is one of the surviving players.

He knew his own identity and he was a "ghost". Ghosts must destroy everyone. Judging from their previous performance, Su Mingan should be a "human".

The convening of the exile meeting is harmful to the ghosts and is not beneficial to them. Even if the oracle is found, the ghost will not submit it. In this way, the probability of Su Mingan being a human is greater.

Of course, we also have to consider the possibility of repeated nesting dolls. It is also possible if Su Mingan deliberately guides the reverse thinking.
