Chapter 231 Who am I?
Aiwass knocked on the dancer's door first.
Generally speaking, the person who is promoted has the same gender as the character in the ceremony, has a similar personality, and the path is as similar as possible.
But this is not 100% certain, because the assignment of roles in the Full Moon Ceremony is not random, but is manually assigned by the ceremony master.
The ceremony host will not specifically assign a role to an ascended person that they cannot play, as this would be unfair. Although the host may have some personal bias due to their different paths, personalities, and positions, they should at least try to maintain fairness on the surface and not deliberately target any particular path.
After all, the ceremony is dedicated to the nine gods at the same time.
——In other words, the host will assign you only when he thinks you can play a certain role or are capable of taking responsibility for the tasks that a certain role must complete.
Just like the ceremony where Aiwass and Isabel met - Aiwass might be able to play the role of little Aiwass's mother, but Isabel certainly could not play the role of little Aiwass's father.
A drastic mistake by one participant would only turn the ceremony into a mess and a farce, rendering everyone's analysis, reasoning, investigation, and risk-taking meaningless, and that was the situation the host had to try to avoid.
——If you can't assign him a suitable role, then assign him a role that is dangerous enough in the early stages and let him die as soon as possible to avoid affecting others.
From this perspective, bringing Isabel along to the promotion ceremony does not necessarily increase the difficulty.
Because of Isabel's simple personality, lack of life experience, and somewhat social anxiety, she is not assigned to particularly difficult and complex roles. In other words, the roles played by Isabel are the easiest for Aiwass to target.
And Aiwass, who is best at acting and has outstanding personal abilities, is the one who fills the gaps - because he can play any difficult role, so he may be assigned to any role by the host.
Merlin's courage in killing the receptionist proved that he was not a promoted person. There were only seven people left.
Merlin wouldn't tell a meaningless, easily exposed lie. Therefore, the woman in the couple is Jacaranda, and the old Overseer is either Living Silver or Pure White. Let's assume he's Pure White. The reporter is most likely the detective... except that the detective is currently on another level.
According to Sherlock's careful investigation of promotion practices, he might even have been deliberately assigned to the highest level. In this way, Merlin could delay Sherlock for a long time without doing anything, preventing him from coming down in time to reunite with Aiwass.
And Isabel can only appear in two characters.
—either a dancer or his own daughter.
Isabelle is a versatile person and also has proficient dancing skills, so there will not be too many problems for her to play the role of a dancer; and his daughter has a high fever and can hardly move, so it is not difficult for Isabelle to play the role of a naive little girl.
After Aiwass met and talked with the dancer for a few words, Aiwass quickly updated his information -
The role that Isabel could play could only be that of his daughter.
Because Merlin's term "dancer" is a euphemism.
In fact, the guest in Room 205 was a dissolute stripper. Or to put it more bluntly, she was a self-employed person in the flesh trade.
"Anyway, I didn't hear anything. It was raining so hard outside."
Perhaps because there was an inspector among them, the dancer let the three of them into the room without fear.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, her short skirt covering only a third of her thighs, covering almost nothing in this position.
The dancer, who looked to be in her twenties or thirties, said with a smile, looking at the reporter with an ambiguous expression: "But... I can also make some noise.
"Maybe it's even louder than the rain."
Compared with the scary-looking "teacher" and the elderly "inspector", the young and handsome reporter was obviously more to her taste.
"I just came to ask a few questions, beautiful lady..."
The reporter pulled out a sterling silver pen from his pocket, twirling it expertly while even more expertly flattering the other person: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Jacob Alexander, the chief reporter for The Bull and Harbor. You can call me JA."
To be fair, although the dancer had a good figure and skin, her face could not be called beautiful. It could only be considered mediocre.
This is indeed the case. People who run a business like hers, especially those who are self-employed and free from any constraints, will naturally go to big cities to develop if they have better capital.
Muwan County mainly engages in agriculture and fishing, and the people here are farmers and fishermen. There is no money at all.
The dancer had met many people, so she naturally knew that this was flattery. But who doesn't like to hear good words?
Especially when the person saying the nice things is a young and handsome guy.
"Oh, you're JA! Just as handsome as I imagined... No, even more handsome than I imagined!"
The dancer's eyes lit up. "I often see you in the newspaper. My mother likes your writing very much—I mean, I do too!"
"That's great, young and sexy lady. I'm sure you know why I came here..."
Upon hearing this, the reporter smiled happily and flattered.
"Ah, let me guess."
The dancer laughed and said, "Are you here to investigate the haunted house? This haunted hotel?"
“That’s right!”
The reporter snapped his fingers and pointed at the dancer: "You are so smart!"
"It's a pity that we encountered a storm." said the dancer.
"Yes, it's a pity that we encountered a storm." The reporter followed.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
While the reporter was asking questions, Aiwass was pacing around the room.
With the help of the small mirror placed on the table by the dancer, Aiwass finally saw his face clearly.
He finally understood why other people's first impression of him was fear.
The "teacher" played by Aiwass is at least 1.95 meters tall, with black hair, brown eyes, deep facial features, and his hair is wet and messy due to the rain.
He had a dignified square face, thick, slightly chapped lips, a strong physique, and visible chest muscles. He stood there like a double-door refrigerator.
If this is the case, then perhaps it can only make people feel majesty and oppression.
But his right face bore obvious burn marks, its flesh twisted like a worm. A dark scar ran from above his eyebrow to his cheekbone, covering the burn mark. Even so, his right eye was still intact.
Although one cannot judge a book by its cover...but just seeing such a terrifying face and being stared at by such a tall and strong man would make anyone subconsciously startled.
……teacher?
Oh.
What teacher carries a demon-hunting pistol? With so many scars and such a strong physique? He's almost like the Godfather.
It's good enough if it doesn't scare the kids.
Dai Ya looked like a girl between nine and twelve years old. She might have grown up a little faster, or she might have been younger, but she was roughly in that age range. She wasn't a four or five-year-old child, but rather a young girl, somewhere between elementary school and middle school. She wasn't particularly underweight.
And "Agni" held her in one hand, carrying her bag and holding an umbrella, and rushed so far in the storm...
What kind of teacher is this?
A PE teacher? A private shooting instructor, right?
——I seemed to have had a nightmare…I dreamed that my father was swimming naked in the river.
"Daughter," Daiya's voice suddenly rang out in Aiwas's mind. Aiwas's pace stopped, and he looked at himself in the mirror, frowning slightly.
If you say so, he is not a teacher.
Could it be that he wasn't Daiya's father either? It was just that his and Daiya's memories had been altered by some force.
Merlin would not deceive him in such a meaningless place.
Then this is most likely the "real me", which is the requirement of the task of "remembering your true identity".
——So, who am I?
