…
In a cave, Leslie's eyes flickered.
She found an oracle that could be submitted immediately. Once submitted, all contestants would immediately hold a meeting to vote on exile.
She was once an actress in Eagle Country and was targeted for not complying with the unspoken rules.
However, because of the world game, she became far superior to ordinary people. She just moved her mouth, and countless people who used to look down on her were trying their best to please her.
In such a world, she thrives like a duck in water.
She became stronger, stood higher, saw further, and completely became what people on the forum called a "bad woman." But she didn't care. In fact, she liked the name very much.
She placed her hand on the pattern called "Oracle" and saw a line of bloody words slowly emerging.
[Get clue 1: Oracle (1/6)]
[Oracle (1/6): "It is said that the birth of gods comes from three factors: energy, people's faith, and the authority of gods."]
…
Leslie heard this system prompt.
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the cave.
Leslie immediately became alert, but before she could leave, she saw the people she least wanted to see.
“There’s someone inside.” Lu Shu walked in, holding a knife for chopping grass in his hand. It seemed that he had fought his way through all the obstacles.
Next to him was Yamada Machiichi, who was wearing a skirt. His clothes were relatively clean.
It was obvious that Lu Shu was being used as a lawn mower.
As he approached, Lu Shu suddenly recognized the bloody oracle on the cliff: "This bird... is it a raven?"
While they were drawn to the oracle, Leslie began to back away slightly.
The figure she least wanted to see appeared at the entrance of the cave.
It’s Su Mingan.
Next to him, there was a man covered in a dark robe.
The man in the robe was obviously different from the others. He walked in a domineering and arrogant manner, with a demeanor similar to that of a crab on the beach.
Leslie took a step back, trying to make her presence less noticeable.
Coincidentally, Su Mingan's eyes were not on her at all, but were staring at the pattern on the mountain wall.
"This blood-colored pattern depicts a raven," Lu Shu said. "Among birds, it is believed to have high intelligence. Its pronunciation is also very wide, and it can even imitate human speech."
"Leslie, do you have any clues about the 'ghost'?" Su Ming'an suddenly turned to Leslie and asked.
"Not yet." Leslie knew she couldn't escape, so she could only straighten her expression and said, "I have been exploring alone since I separated from everyone else, and only then did I find this oracle. If this pattern is a raven... In our mythology, ravens are often associated with the word devil, and are seen as the symbol of wisdom, darkness, sadness, and death."
She said something about the raven, just in time to cover up her behavior of not submitting the oracle immediately.
"...In addition, there are several references to ravens in the Old Testament, which are walkers in the dark sky. In many myths, ravens are symbols of worship by a certain race, images of the hero Cu Chulainn after his death, or amulets against foreign invasions..." She said, "Legend has it that during the reign of Charles II, the ravens in the Tower of London became a disaster, and the royal astronomer complained to the king and requested an order to remove the ravens..."
Su Ming'an listened to Leslie's words and suddenly realized that these players at the top of the list were not fakes at all. Even a bird could quote from classics and tell a long passage of myths and legends.
This is also a necessary quality for players with intelligence lines. Some clues do require a certain amount of knowledge to form further inferences. Just like in the running group, archaeologists, homestay scholars, and mystics are high-risk professions. They are really very important.
Among the players at the top of the intelligence line, many have an encyclopedia in their heads.
"...However, just when the king was about to get rid of these ravens, an ancient prophecy said: 'Once the ravens fly away, the Tower of London will collapse and London will suffer misfortune.' Therefore, Charles II had to revoke his order. Since then, successive monarchs have regarded ravens as a symbol of the rise and fall of a country..." Leslie blinked:
"...In modern society, ravens are often kept in towers and their feathers are clipped regularly to ensure they cannot leave. Of course, they have also become the target of tourists..."
From Leslie's words, we can hear that the "raven" can be regarded as a "messenger of God" and its image is associated with danger.
Although the culture on Zhaixing may not be the same as that on Qiongdi, could it be related to what Leslie said?
Leslie glanced at the First Guide next to her.
From the moment he appeared, the man in the long robe just stood beside Su Mingan, with an extremely arrogant demeanor. He put one hand on his waist, his feet spread out, and his head held high, like an octopus with bared fangs and claws.
Inexplicably, Leslie felt a strong pressure from this person.
Even though the opponent didn't leak any energy fluctuations, and even his posture was very exaggerated, Leslie felt a sense of oppression. Perhaps this is the realm of the strongest guide, who can defeat the enemy without moving...
Suddenly, Su Mingan pressed the pattern with his hand: "Submit the oracle."
Leslie was slightly stunned.
The next moment, a white light suddenly surrounded several people, and when they opened their eyes again, they had arrived in another small space.
This is a closed room, and each person has a brass pointer in front of him.
[The contestant (Su Mingan) submitted the oracle. 】
[You can now hold an exile meeting. After five minutes of discussion, please move the pointer in front of you to select the person to be exiled.]
