“That makes sense.”
Just then, there was a sound of trampling leaves nearby, and Yamada Machi came over, pushing aside the bushes.
Lu Shu raised the finger on which the butterfly rested warily, but Su Mingan smiled as if he had expected Yamada Machiichi to follow him.
"Then, Yamada Town, you are the 'third level'." Su Mingan said: "The people on this third level thought of another more terrifying possibility. For example - the number of 'ghosts' is large, more than they can imagine..."
Lu Shu's expression changed slightly.
"Normally, we would think that in this kind of game, the number of 'ghosts' should be less than the number of 'people', right?" Su Mingan said, "...but in this case, the game is not fair at all."
He emphasized the word "unfair".
“Unfair?” Lu Shu felt like he was about to become a parrot.
It’s not that he is so stupid that he can’t think for himself. In fact, he can draw the conclusions of what Su Mingan said after careful analysis, but at this time he just wants to listen to what the other party says.
This was his subconscious stance when communicating with Su Mingan.
"The rules are too biased towards humans. Ghosts, who are so risky, only have the privilege of touching people's necks during the day, while humans can actually compete with ghosts at night. This is not fair at all." Su Mingan said, "So, I guess the number of ghosts should be much higher than we expected, even... more than half."
"And, the people on the fourth floor have realized everything I said above. Moreover, they will deliberately say everything like me in order to judge the identities of others." Su Mingan glanced at Lu Shu: "For example, Lu Shu, you should be... a 'ghost'."
Lu Shu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Your way of asking questions has always been very ghost-like." Su Mingan said: "From your expression, you should also be..."
"I won't lie to you." Lu Shu said.
"Okay, let's stop here." Su Ming'an looked at Yamada: "You followed us secretly all the way, do you want to hear about my and Lu Shu's identities?"
Yamada Machiichi coughed lightly and turned his head away: "Although I mean that...but I just want to thank you more."
"Um?"
"Seventh World, you saved me, thank you very much." Yamada Machi bowed: "In return, I will be your helper in this world. You can do whatever you want with me."
He was referring to the time when Su Mingan and Xie Lude joined forces to drive away the sea monster and prevent everyone from being wiped out.
Although that action was also part of Su Mingan's perfect clearance and he had no intention of saving Yamada, that was Yamada's character. As a beneficiary, he would not ignore the benefits he received.
Unlike those players who kept on blabbering and cursing the No. 1 player even after being rescued, Yamada Machiichi was a person who saw things clearly.
In fact, his behavior can easily win the favor of others.
Lu Shu frowned: "Who knows what you will do with this opportunity."
He doesn't trust Yamada Machichi.
He felt that this person was like an onion, with layers after layers. When Yamada Machiichi unreservedly asked Su Mingan about the "meaning of life" in the fourth world, repaid Su Mingan with gratitude, and took the initiative to hand over the knife to commit suicide, he felt that even if Yamada Machiichi practiced the so-called samurai principles, he seemed too extreme, too narrow-minded, and too fanatical.
This extremism, narrow-mindedness and fanaticism do not come from pre-modern ignorance, but from postmodern loneliness.
【I think, repay the favor. 】
…This is what Yamada once said, a serious yet conciliatory statement.
Now, this person came unexpectedly to repay his gratitude.
It was clearly a competition among the top 100 players, such an important occasion, but this person could give up his freedom and trust so lightly.
"I'm a ghost." Yamada Machi smiled and said something shocking: "If you think I'm a threat, you can exile me at any time during the voting. If you have any doubts about my identity, I can also find an NPC participating in the competition and show my ability to eliminate the opponent."
“You…” Lu Shu didn’t expect this person to reveal his identity so readily.
"Okay." Su Mingan suddenly said, "I believe you."
The light in Yamada Machi's eyes brightened a little, and he seemed very happy to be trusted by others.
Before the world game started, he was a person who was always thinking about committing suicide. He looked at everything as if he was watching a black and white silent movie, and all sounds passed through his ears like water.
Once upon a time, the word "death" was hanging in front of his eyes 24 hours a day.
And now, the only person in front of him was the person who had always helped him and saved him many times.
"Then we have three combat forces on our side." Su Ming'an said, as if affirming the value of Yamada Machiichi.
...Although he only paid lip service to trust.
"Are you a 'human'?" Lu Shu asked.
"Of course." Su Mingan said, "So I'm panicking now."
Lu Shu glanced at Su Mingan's expression, but couldn't tell why he was panicking.
People cannot take the initiative to attack during the daytime period, and the guide beside Su Mingan suddenly disappeared. If someone really besieged him, Lu Shu believed that Su Mingan would not be able to resist.
...Is this the reason why he accepted Yamada Machiichi?
To have an extra fighter who can take action during the daytime?
"It's time to start looking for the oracle. Yamada, please go ahead." Su Mingan said.
Yamada Machi nodded, and without asking why there was no guide beside Su Mingan, he walked in front.
Yamada's guide is a woman whose body is somewhat transparent. She should be a guide who has the ability of "hiding", and her position should not be very high.
