The three people present looked at each other.
Ding Yan was probably the first to object: "Impossible!"
He looked at the oath-breaker and said sternly: "No matter who you are, you are playing with fire now! I will not believe anything you say. Do you think I am stupid to believe you, the guy who tied up the prophet? "
Rather than choosing to trust this guy who didn't look like a good person, Ding Yan would of course trust the prophet who had been with him for several months! Looking at Ding Yan, the oath-breaker smiled.
"Yes, of course you will choose to believe what you want to know," she said slowly, "This is normal. After all, whether it is humans or monsters, subjective emotions always override objective facts. Even if someone always warns us to 'stay rational', when things really happen to us, people often lose the ability to think calmly because of various entanglements."
Patting Bai Ling on the shoulder, the Oathbreaker whispered in his ear, facing the other three people: "The same is true for you."
"Yes, of course you can choose to believe in this guy you think he is," she grabbed Bai Ling's hair, "but this may not be a truly useful method and theory for you."
"Have you seen the movie?" The Oath Breaker suddenly asked this question.
This question made the other three people slightly stunned.
This thing is almost nonsense.
In this world, unless you have not yet gained a special understanding of modern society, you should have at least some exposure to film and television works.
Looking at the other people, the Oath Breaker said gently, "Oh, it seems you have all seen it. That's great. Movies are a good thing. Although they didn't exist in my time, in your time, they are a tool for interpreting philosophical thoughts or a form of entertainment that provides audio-visual experience."
"I think those of you who have watched the movie probably always wonder why the protagonist in the movie looks so...stupid, right?"
Taking two steps back, the Oath Breaker pushed his nonexistent glasses and said, "Just like in horror movies, characters often use all kinds of ridiculous methods to push the plot forward. The mental journey of each character completely exceeds the audience's imagination. 'Why did she do this?', 'Why didn't he find someone?', 'Why didn't these people close the door?'... It can be said that the plots of some movies are simply the greatest challenge to a person's IQ."
“But you know, the people who make the movie don’t know that?”
She looked calm. "Of course, they may not know. After all, it is undeniable that some people's IQ is not high enough. But in many cases, it is not because they want to do it, but because they have to do it. The plot needs a logical chain, just like the bullet of a pistol must appear within three acts. If you want the gun to go off, how can there be no gunman in advance?"
"So, everything is because the characters in the plot see too little, too little. Including you, it is the same. It is because you know too little that you are deceived by the so-called 'prophet'..."
A smile gradually spread across the face of the oath-breaker: "Information, information is the factor that solves most problems in this world! As long as one has the information, then one person will have absolute initiative over the other person during negotiations!"
Grabbing Bai Ling's collar, the oath-breaker couldn't suppress his smile anymore: "That's what he is like!"
"Do you think his predictions are accurate? No, no, no, it's only because what he said is predetermined, it's black characters framed on white paper that won't jump out! How can you expect the white paper to look up and see what's engraved on its body? All you can do is passively accept it!"
The oath-breaker shouted, "That's why you can't know that what he did to you is right and worth obeying?"
This sentence made Ding Yan and others silent.
This is probably a question that most "prophets" cannot avoid.
The so-called "prophet" is a guy who can see the future when others cannot. However, because others cannot see it, there is a lot of room for maneuver - how do you know that the future the prophet wants you to go to is better for you? The prophet is also a human being, he also has tendencies, and it is impossible for him to be omniscient. Since he sees things that others cannot see, he will inevitably take the initiative to choose a result. But is this result good for the chosen party?
It is easy to be suspicious when you know something that others don't, not to mention something as illusory as the "future".
Wang Weizheng, for example, did not believe it at first, and even now, he still does not fully trust Bai Ling's words. This is because he knows that what the prophet sees may not be the perfect ending, but only the "optimal solution" in his eyes.
A person is limited by his own knowledge and literacy, so it is difficult for him to give a perfect answer to a question, and the same is true for a prophet.
That's why oath breakers would say that.
She wanted to pry open a hole in these people's hearts and sow the "seeds" of doubt.
She had seen clearly that the two little guys in front of her had great trust in Bering, and this trust was almost blind faith - just like a believer in God. This was a very troublesome situation, because if an enemy who could predict the future had a few more people willing to believe in him at all costs, it would become quite troublesome.
So she needs to break these guys' trust in Bering as much as possible.
While thinking this in my mind.
The next second, Xun Mo said impatiently: "Who the hell cares so much about you?"
"It doesn't matter if the prophet is human or not, or if he makes mistakes or not, as long as he still stands on our side and stands firm, it doesn't matter!" he said calmly. "Who doesn't make mistakes? Unless he is God, how can he not make any mistakes? As long as we can reflect on ourselves after making a mistake and avoid making similar mistakes next time, isn't that enough?"
"I'm not so arrogant as to think that so-and-so can win all the way. If that were the case, I would doubt that guy, not his ability, but his mentality. Such people are often the first to collapse when they encounter difficulties that they cannot avoid. The key is that they have won too much and stood too high before, and no one can help them, so they can only bear it by themselves."
Scratching his ear, Xun Mo said in boredom: "No matter what kind of prophet or something else, as long as he is on my side, I will trust him conditionally. Even Director Wang, who is like my father, I have never trusted him completely. What does it matter? It doesn't stop me from treating him as a friend, nor does it stop me from carrying out his mission. Of course, it doesn't stop him from trusting me and letting me mess around."
Patting Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin on the shoulders, Xun Mo said with a smile: "Companions are something you trust. If there is a problem, we can discuss how to solve it later!"
Hearing his words, Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin both nodded at the same time.
The previous communication with Xun Mo made the two people fully understand that Bai Ling was not a statue to be worshipped on the stage, but a person who might need their help and a companion who was worthy of their trust.
Therefore, the oath-breaker's words did not cause much waves in his heart.
But they were calm, while the oath-breaker became angry.
"Ha, companion, ha!" she said sarcastically, "don't tell me that the means of your union are trust and friendship!"
"In this world, nothing can be relied upon except absolute power."
She suppressed her anger and tried to make her voice sound less agitated: "All trust is just putting your emotions as bargaining chips in front of others, exposing your weaknesses to others. In peacetime, of course, it's good for you and me, but once you encounter an unsolvable situation, then this bargaining chip will be targeted by others and will become a shackle that will trap you."
"Just like an undercover agent would not expose his family and friends to the enemy, once you are insufficiently powerful and turn to rely on your so-called companions, then all the so-called ties will become your weak points."
"That's what emotion is! Although it's worthy of praise and a noble sentiment that can be recorded in literary records, it's actually a complete weakness for human beings!"
With the oath-breaker's voice echoing in her ears, Ji Qianqin suddenly laughed.
"I see," she said, "you are a person who lacks love."
She was all too familiar with the feeling.
在自己的母亲亲手打算终结自己的生命之后，季千琴很长一段时间都警惕地不想要相信任何人。
但是在这段时间里，她慢慢有了一些改变。
虽然说林柩面无表情看起来凶巴巴的，但是她的性格其实很好、有的时候也会软得吓人；虽然丁炎整个人都蠢蠢的，但是关键时刻却很靠得住；虽然李静雯看起来胆子很小，但是她还挺可爱的，而且和季千琴小时候的样子也有点相似，让季千琴下意识地就想要揉揉她的脑袋。
更不用说……先知了。
他是唯一一个哪怕对季千琴的情况有所了解之后，却仍旧选择尊重她、而没有盘根问底的人。
更不用说到目前为止他对季千琴的一切安排都可以称得上妥当，既没有因为自己“预备成员”的身份就卡着自己，也没有因为自己的目标和明昼并不完全相似就排斥她。
季千琴完全有理由相信，如果先知想、那么自己在他的面前恐怕不存在什么秘密。
然而他始终没有戳破最后的窗户纸，只是保持着对季千琴最大程度的尊重。
这种感觉对于一个现代人而言相当难能可贵。
就像是保持社交距离是一个很难的事情，尤其难在不会让人太过难受、也不会让人太过疏离，对秘密的探求也是如此。若是表现得太过好奇，会让当事人难受；而完全不在乎，也会让当事人心生不安。
更不用说先知到现在提供给季千琴的安全感了。
对于季千琴，白令就像是之前她说的那样，是类似于“父母”一样的存在。既能够提供庇护和稳定的安全感，又能够给她带来完全的准备。
所以在听到背誓者的话语之后，季千琴想了很多，觉得这个家伙或许和自己、和李静雯都类似。
是一个缺爱的家伙。
这句话轻飘飘的，对于大部分人而言几乎没有什么影响。
然而不知道为什么，在听到这句话之后、背誓者整个人骤然暴怒起来！ “缺爱？！”她的笑容扭曲，笑声刺耳，“爱？不不不，我对这种东西毫无奢求可言，这是他人最大的谎言。相信‘爱’能够解决一切问题，是过于强调了个人和心理的力量，而否认了客观实际。”
“更何况，就算你愿意爱一个人、你怎么就知道那个人也同样爱着你呢？”
抓着白令的头发，背誓者看向另外三个人：“就比如说现在。”
她终于要说出来到这里最开始的问题：“他是一个卑鄙无耻的小偷，披上了先知的外衣、攫取你们虚假的信任。就像是空中楼阁一样，一旦脱离了纸面的束缚、那么一切都会分崩离析！”
“因为他的预言，都是从真正的‘先知’那里偷过来的，而不是他自己看到的东西！”
说到这里，背誓者终于不再压抑自己的笑容：“你们难道不怀疑吗？一个人怎么可能看到这么多东西，又怎么可能完全不受任何影响地看到所谓的‘未来’？这个世界上的一切都是等价的，完全没有毫无道理的索取一回事。预知未来也是如此——窥视未来往往需要支付常人难以接受的代价！”
“因此他也一样，所谓的先知、完全就是虚假的，曾经的那个人才是先知，而他只不过是一个卑鄙无耻、恶毒低劣的小偷，是占据了他人身体的强盗……”
背誓者一字一句地说道：“你们一切收听的预言，都是来自于曾经的那个先知。而你们眼前的这个人，只不过是享受着过去那个家伙‘遗产’馈赠的家伙而已！”
“他甚至，不是这个世界的存在，而是其他世界的……侵略者！”
这句话一说出来。
地上的白令微微一动。
同时。
伴随着白令的动作，原本还站在原地的荀墨猛然跃起。
他几乎是毫无犹豫就从自己的后背里掏出一把黑色的手枪，照着自己面前的背誓者就是两枪！ 背誓者看也没有看朝自己射过来的枪子，而是直接弹开、接着说道：“是的，你们所认为的先知只不过是一个可怜的替罪羊罢了。真正意义上的先知并不是他，而另有其人！”
“那个真正的先知留下了预言，然后由这个家伙来执行，一切的一切仅此而已！”她说道，“你们就是提线木偶，在曾经那个先知和现在这个家伙的手上翩翩起舞，为了他自己的一己私欲而舞动，满面都是刀刃和子弹。”
“证据也很简单，只需要将这个家伙记录的本子拿出来、然后进行破译，就能够知道这其中发生的一切！一个人留下的符号，只要花点时间就很容易破译出来！”
听着背誓者的话语，荀墨面沉如水。
他只是拉着另外两个人藏进掩体之中，“梆梆”又是两枪的同时，将另外两个人的脑袋压下来。
“听着，”他说道，从自己的口袋里面摸出两把枪来，塞给另外两个人，“先别管那个家伙说什么，眼下最重要的是把你们老板给救出来。”
他悄悄看了一眼还在喋喋不休的背誓者，重新缩回脑袋：“眼下那个家伙总算是被气得神志不清了，这对于我们来说就是最好的机会。你们务必要把握住这个机会……”
还没等他说完，丁炎就赶紧点头：“明白！”
荀墨没好气地看了他一眼：“你明白个屁！”
给自己的手枪换了一个子弹，他沉静地说道：“短时间之内她恐怕是发泄不完，所以我做主攻手，你们来做策应。我会集中注意力给她提供麻烦，而你们需要做的就是……”
枪柄磕了一下墙壁，荀墨说道：“照着你们老板，把手枪里的子弹狠狠扫射出去！”
“明白……哈？！”丁炎愣住了。
他先是看了一眼荀墨，然后又看了一眼手枪，顿时福至心灵：“我明白了，这个手枪就跟动画里激发潜能的子弹一样，能够把一个人的潜能给打开了对不对？！”
对个屁！ 荀墨直接拍了一下对方的肩膀：“这就是一把普通的手枪，哦，可能杀伤力很强。”
他轻描淡写地说道：“也就是会给你们老板的胸口开一个大洞，其他的还好。”
你在逗我呢？！
丁炎和季千琴同时看着荀墨，露出相同的表情。
而荀墨则是把手枪往两个人怀里又塞了塞：“哪那么多话！还想不想把你们老板救出来了，想就赶紧去做！”
“我之前也说了要保留地相信一个人，但是特殊场合就得无条件地信任其它人了，”荀墨说道，“就像是现在，你们就只管信我，因为我比你们高级，官也比你们大，所以别那么多屁话！”
“记住，只有一枪机会！”
荀墨轻声说道：“你们必须要精准命中你们老板才行，如果擦了或者偏了、那么就有可能让那个家伙察觉过来——根据我的看法，她可能也是个‘先知’！不过和你们老板不一样，她并不是主动的。”
“但是这不代表她就完全没有能力了，一旦你们第一枪空了、让她察觉到你们要做什么，接下来就绝对不可能再中！所以务必注意子弹！”
“我会尽量把这个家伙拖远一点，你们就趁着这个机会、给你们老板来一枪狠的！”
闻言，季千琴愣住了：“等等，她既然有预言能力，那我们岂不是一枪都射不出来……”
荀墨没好气地说道：“哪那么容易！”
“目前世界上的三个预言者，每个预言都需要支付巨大的代价，这就代表了他们的预言并非绝对，”他说道，“跟你们老板一样完全无压力的预言反而让人觉得奇怪，我以前也怀疑过。”
“总之就是，她必然不可能在这里直接使用预言，因为她舍不得！”
推了一下另外两个人，荀墨快速说道：“总之你们快去，别磨磨蹭蹭的！”
被他这么一推，另外两个人傻傻地就这么推出了掩体，转而向其他的掩体各自分散。
在注视着这两个人离开之后。
荀墨则是看了一眼自己的手机，叹了一口气。
“S/L，svae\load啊，”荀墨自言自语道，“这可是你自己让人发给我的，真出现了什么问题，可不要怪我。”
“反正我就按照我自己的理解来了，真要是死了、我最多也就是清明节的时候往你坟前多放两个纸片人老婆了啊。”
说完这句话之后，荀墨直接把手机放在怀里。
在手机屏幕上面是几个单纯的字母。“SL”。
In addition, there was another relatively long email that was sent later... It was a scheduled email! The signature came from a special number. Xun Mo remembered that the owner of this number was a little girl in District A.
