When the mysterious Gift Game contract appeared, in this corner of the border city at the Seventh Outer Gate of the Eastern District, a vigorous and nearly city-wide search began.
Otherwise!
Time flies so fast. More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. What happened to Shiroyasha and the Black Rabbit of the "Bear Head" brand nameless community, Izayoi Izayoi, Asuka Kuon, Yoshi Kasukabe and Russell? What they all can't understand is: for more than ten days in a row, even if they mobilized countless people, they still have no clues or clues at all?
Anyway, with their efforts, as well as the efforts of some self-organized citizens and other famous or unknown communities, even with the important information provided by Anne, as a result, they have almost dug deep. But there are still no clues related to the so-called 'Killing God' Bai Qi or to the 'Battle of Changping'.
Of course, Izayoi and Russell checked out almost all the information they could find during this period of time, and even sorted out all the documents related to the killing god Bai Qi and the Changping War. I studied it word by word, trying to provide as much intelligence support as possible for the community's actions, but the result was that it had no effect at all!
Therefore, on this night, after dinner, the top leaders of the 'nameless' community such as Black Rabbit, Kaikai Izayoi, Kuon Asuka, Kasukabe Yoshi, Russell, Leticia, Shirayuki and Pest had to Gathered together again to prepare for another meeting.
Of course, ShiroYasha is just like a heartless little girl who always cares about things that have nothing to do with her. She also played around for more than half a month and basically did nothing. , both of them were naturally invited by Black Rabbit at the same time and came to the living room that served as a conference room.
The only difference from the last time was that the only people attending the meeting this time were the top management of the 'Nameless' community. Perseus and those from the circus were not invited.
"Uh-huh……"
(~)
"ha!"
()
However, Anne didn't care about that kind of thing, and what was different from the solemn expressions on other people's faces was that she was just eating the snacks in her arms carelessly, and didn't even think about this. Serious and important meetings are taken seriously.
"alright!"
"Now that everyone is here..."
"Then let me make a summary first!"
After seeing that everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, and those who weren't supposed to be there, Izayoi Kaikai stood up after receiving instructions from Kuro Usagi's eyes.
After looking around, Izayoi cleared his throat and then began to make a concluding speech before the meeting began in a serious manner.
"Everyone!"
"After more than half a month of investigation and hard work, we have now basically figured out the situation."
"That is……"
"The city where our community is located and the border land in the East District were indeed forcibly dragged into the unknown mysterious gift game by some existence!"
"After investigation, we found that almost at the moment the contract appeared, an invisible barrier covered this vast area. The number of people affected, including us, was initially estimated to be about 460,000. "
"This is very interesting!"
"Forty-six days, traps and killings, 460,000 people..."
"Obviously, various data and coincidences have shown that this time, we are probably really being targeted by the God of Death."
"It's just that what's terrible right now is that something similar to the history of the world outside the Little Garden has happened."
"We are trapped here and can't get out!"
"These days, everyone has used all kinds of methods, whether it is finding the weak points of the barrier, actively launching the strongest attack, digging holes in the ground, flying directly, or using teleportation, etc. , and they all can’t get out!”
"even……"
"Even Shiroyasha-dono's store, which can connect to most cities in the Hakoniwa area, can't do it!"
Having said this, Izayoi stopped for a while and looked around at his companions.
Then, he found that almost everyone had listened and had solemn expressions on their faces, except for a certain little girl who was still eating her food carelessly, without even knowing whether she was listening. Then he paused. And took a deep breath, then ignored the other person and continued:
"It is surprisingly consistent with the situation in history. We are trapped here just like the army under the command of General Zhao Kuo described in the history book."
"We don't know where to break through, we don't know the strength of the enemy, we don't even know where the enemy is!"
"In fact, so far we have not been able to find any clues about the so-called killing god Bai Qi, nor have we found any of the other party's officers and soldiers, such as the deputy general Wang Lu?"
"I have to admit that compared to more than half a month ago, there is still no substantial progress."
"If this continues, maybe..."
"In more than half a month, with less than ten days left before the gift competition deadline, we have to let Black Rabbit use his 'judgment authority' to temporarily suspend the game and let the organizers coordinate with us contestants."
Having said this, Izayoi had to look at Annie helplessly.
Because he has a vague intuition, if this situation continues to develop, it is very likely that they will have to follow Anne's initial suggestion and directly let Black Rabbit use the 'judgment authority' to hide someone in the city. Or was it tricked out by the 'God of Killing' hidden outside the encirclement barrier?
"snort!"
o(^｀)o
Unfortunately, Anne still seemed to be brooding over something, so after feeling Izayoi's gaze, she just snorted and turned away, continuing to eat her food, obviously not intending to treat someone. Any response or evaluation on this matter.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"..."
As a last resort, Izayoi had to look at Black Rabbit and Shiro Yaksha again, wanting to see if they had anything else to add.
Anyway!
Now, Izayoi finally understood why, after they were summoned to the Little Garden, they could see so many people wanting to recruit Black Rabbit. Even Shiro Yasha, the class ruler of the East District, took the initiative to have sex with Black Rabbit. Well, even when the 'Anonymous' community was on the verge of collapse, there was no real intention to change its attitude.
It turns out that as a member of the Moon Rabbit clan, Black Rabbit, regardless of her strength, the role she can play in the world of the Little Garden simply because of the 'judgment authority' she can use and the privilege of connecting to the center of the Little Garden is indeed very powerful. Very crucial!
"..."
After thinking about it, he saw that Anne still had the same indifferent attitude, and seemed to still have a grudge against him and others for not agreeing with that opinion. As a last resort, Black Rabbit could only turn to look at ShiroYasha and ask:
"White Yaksha..."
"Not even your shop, and even your ability, can't escape?"
"Have you tried it?"
To be honest, Black Rabbit had taken it for granted before that if there was really no way to break through, he might be able to use Shiroyasha's shop to move everyone in the community and even the entire region and city away, thus escaping. This cage, escape the fate of being 'trapped and killed'.
But now it seems that her previous thoughts were indeed too naive and taken for granted.
"Of course we do!"
"Black Rabbit!"
"If we could really escape from here, we would have gone out long ago. Why would we stay here!?"
Seeing Black Rabbit asking about that matter again, ShiroYasha impatiently put away the folding fan in her hand and glared angrily.
"but……"
"We always feel that you are looking in the wrong direction?"
"We think that the key to breakthrough in this gift competition may not be the killing god 'Bai Qi' shown in the information you have found!"
But then, Bai Yaksha's expression suddenly hardened and she slowly spoke out some of the guesses she had deduced after so many days of investigation and search with no results.
"??"
"Not on Bai Qi?"
"!!"
"Shiro Yaksha, what do you mean..."
"ah?"
"Are you saying that we are all looking for a breakthrough in the wrong direction?"
Hearing this, Black Rabbit, Izayoi, Asuka and Russell were all shocked, and then they quickly looked at Shiroyasha with excited and questioning eyes.
After all, ShiroYasha is a former demon king, and is also the ruler of the East District class. He is a strong man with four figures or even higher levels. At the same time, he has existed in the world of Xiaonii for countless years. Therefore, if ShiroYasha sees it If there are any clues, then they will definitely feel that it is more reliable than the one proposed by Anne at the beginning: using 'judgment authority' and then taking advantage of the negotiation opportunity to directly capture or kill the organizer. ?
"Yes!"
"We've been thinking about it these days..."
"Did you make some mistakes?"
As she pondered, Bai Yaksha thought for a while and looked up at everyone present, and then slowly stated one of her points:
"Indeed!"
"The Gift Game is probably indeed related to the God of Killing 'Bai Qi', but don't forget about Pest!"
"Although she has an inheritance from the Black Death, has a five-digit outer sect strength, and the name of the gift is the Black Death-spotted Demon King, and she even had a godhead before, but she is actually not very different from the 'gift' she received. Big connection, isn’t it?”
"It can be inferred from this!"
"Although this incident originated from the history of certain worlds and from the gifted ability born from the legend of the killing god 'Bai Qi', it is not necessarily him we are looking for!"
"Probably……"
"The person who initiated this gift competition was just an unknown guy who received the gift of the God of Killing?"
Having said this, Shiroyasha stopped again and looked at Izayoi, Black Rabbit, Asuka and others present, not without pride as he looked at the faces of everyone in front of him that were gradually becoming ugly and embarrassed.
"!!"
"That is to say..."
"All our hard work these days have been in vain?"
"Did everyone find the wrong person?"
After looking at each other, Black Rabbit felt a little unacceptable and had to ask with some frustration.
You know, the total number of people they dispatched these days has almost reached tens of millions, and they have even united all the famous and unknown communities in the area. But in the end, Bai Yaksha said that they were looking for Wrong direction, that kind of thing is indeed a big blow to Black Rabbit.
"Not entirely!"
"Before, we only had some doubts, not sure yet."
"but……"
"After many days of hard work, in the face of the facts, we have barely determined two key guesses and an important breakthrough direction!"
Fortunately, before Black Rabbit could continue to feel depressed, ShiroYasha quickly comforted her and proudly spoke out her unfinished words.
"??"
"Two guesses?"
"Is there an important breakthrough direction?"
Hearing this, Izayoi, Black Rabbit, Asuka, Kasukabe and others first looked at each other, and then hurriedly looked at Shiroyasha again, and all signaled with their eyes to tell the other party not to worry about it anymore, and to quickly report what they found. Tell me the content.
After all, there is less than a month left in the forty-six-day period. No matter if you have any clues or think of any solutions, you must tell them quickly and send people to implement them. Otherwise, you will waste time and delay them. , I’m afraid that by then all the options will be useless.
"That's fine!"
"Let's just talk!"
Seeing that everyone except a certain naughty little girl was looking at him expectantly, Bai Yaksha paused and didn't take it seriously. He just flicked the folding fan, and then shook it proudly while holding it. Her two guesses were revealed:
"first!"
"As we just said, the person you are looking for, the organizer, is probably not the killing god Bai Qi, but just an unknown guy who has obtained the corresponding 'gift' ability?"
"As for whether he or she is male or female, old or young, or what race he or she is, it is temporarily unknown."
"Secondly!"
"According to the various information you have found, she or he is probably not within the encirclement, that is, within the barrier, but outside?"
"So, no matter how you look for it, it will all be in vain in the end. And this is why you haven't made any progress for more than half a month?"
"Indeed!"
"The above are all our guesses based on certain facts and intelligence. We cannot guarantee their authenticity and validity!"
At this point, seeing the stunned or thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Bai Yaksha chuckled and stopped, and then took the initiative to give everyone time to digest it slowly.
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"What's the use?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
At this time, Anne on the side certainly heard it, but she didn't think it was anything special. She just muttered disdainfully and turned away.
After all, in Anne's view, no amount of guessing is useless!
The key to the problem is to completely solve the gift competition. Unfortunately, she encouraged Black Rabbit to use his 'judgment authority' to lure out the initiator, and then threatened or killed the organizer to completely eliminate the person who caused the problem. Is it really the most fundamental and effective way to solve the problem?
Anyway!
Although she, Queen Anne, is indeed not very good at guessing puzzles or those messy gift games such as brain-burning detectives, she and her little bear are very good at solving those who create problems?
In Anne's mind, the key to the problem is not whether it is difficult to solve, but whether the person who created the problem is difficult to solve, that's all!
Unfortunately, in her eyes, no matter who it is, everything can be solved easily!
It's a pity that some people are not very useful and ignore her Queen Anne's most wise, decisive and efficient advice?
"..."
(￣～￣)
So, Annie decided that unless those guys come to beg her, otherwise, she really doesn't care!
(…)
()
"!!"
"this!"
"So that's it!"
"It does make sense. No wonder we have been busy for more than half a month in vain, but we didn't expect that things would turn out like this?"
"That makes sense..."
"That!"
"Shiro Yaksha, where is the 'an important breakthrough direction' you just mentioned?"
"What's that?"
"yes!"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Stop hiding it!"
Black Rabbit, Asuka, Kasukabe, Russell and others didn't know what Anne was thinking. They just thought about it and exchanged opinions with each other for a while. After that, they all felt that what Shiroyasha had just said was very good and reasonable, so they continued Once he cast an expectant gaze and asked.
"..."
At this time, the retrograde Izayoi seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face moved.
But he didn't speak in a hurry, he just frowned slightly and followed everyone and looked towards Shiro Yaksha, also preparing to hear what Shiro Yaksha thought.
"It's easy!"
"Since we, like the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping, have been trapped by a certain barrier formed by the other party through the center of the small garden using the gift game, we cannot get out, and we cannot fight with the enemy..."
"That……"
"This is probably a paradox game!"
At this point, Bai Yaksha suddenly stopped, and just used a folding fan to look at her devilish smile with tiger fangs and said sinisterly.
"so!"
"Next, we shouldn't continue to look for each other or break through the barrier. Instead, we should think of ways to make the other party's 'paradox' self-defeating or display it directly in front of our eyes?"
"Only by finding the paradox, can we have a glimmer of hope to break through this game!"
Having said this, Bai Yaksha looked at everyone again, wanting to see their reactions.
"??"
"What's the meaning?"
"Paradox game?"
"What is that?"
Unfortunately, for the three newcomers Kaikai Izayoi, Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yō who are not too familiar with the world of Hakoniwa, of course they cannot understand or understand the novel terms that Shiroyasha suddenly pops up. understandable.
"Paradox Game!"
"It is a kind of 'trap game' organized by using the 'organizer's authority'. Generally, the organizer will use a special written format to try to obscure the real content. At the same time, there is usually a spiritual level hidden behind it. High organizer!”
"The most important thing is: this kind of game is generally designed as a trap that can never be achieved. On the surface, it seems to be achievable, but in fact, there are certain restrictions that prevent you from achieving it, that is, you cannot achieve it. The kind that might be cleared?"
"The most terrible thing is..."
"Even if you use 'judgment authority' and request the central court review, the final result will not change in any way, so it is often called a 'paradox game'."
Seeing that Kaikai Izayoi, Kuon Asuka and Annie didn't seem to understand, Black Rabbit quickly raised his hand and explained loudly before the impatient Shiroyasha could speak.
"trap?"
"That is to say..."
"Is this gift match a trap?"
"Its true purpose..."
"Maybe it's not to let us break through the siege or defeat the organizer, but to hide the real purpose and induce us to conduct the wrong trial?"
Hearing this, Izayoi's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and then hurriedly said some of the things he had guessed before.
"That's right!"
At this time, Bai Yaksha finally spoke again.
"We have investigated..."
"Our seven-digit border area does not produce much food. We only rely on transportation from outside. At the same time, there is not much food stored outside the city."
"So..."
"Our current situation is the same as that of the besieged Zhao army in history. We must be running out of food soon!"
"And once we run out of food, the only thing waiting for us is defeat!"
Looking at the expectant faces of everyone, Bai Yaksha didn't care about anything and just said with a sneer.
"!!"
"!!"
"?!"
As soon as Bai Yasha's resounding words fell, everyone suddenly saw that the contract of the Gift Tournament on the table had actually undergone a new change:
——————
Gift Tournament: The Dilemma of Changping
Sponsor: unknown
Participants: Everyone in the city and region where the contract appears
Victory conditions: Store enough food for 460,000 people in 46 days for at least three years.
Failure conditions: Failure to achieve victory conditions within forty-six days
Victory reward: The barrier disappears and the gift game ends
Penalty for failure: Kill everyone!
——————
"!!"
"What kind of victory condition is this?!"
However, despite the new changes in the contract, seeing what was said above, this small city and border area should be used to store enough food for 460,000 people for three years, so Izayoi once again went back to He gasped and exclaimed.
Obviously, he seemed to know that it was absolutely impossible to store so much food in such a short period of time. Even if he planted it immediately, he would probably not have time to harvest it!
Even if someone in this area has some kind of gifted ability to help, it would probably be difficult!
After all, that was 460,000 people, not some community!
In fact, let alone hundreds of thousands of people, even if there are only about 10,000 people in their nameless "Xiongtou" community, it is almost an impossible task to prepare enough food for three years in a period of time!
"So that's it?"
"We understand!"
"In the Battle of Changping, Zhao's army was already weak, and Lian Po's defensive strategy was originally a correct strategy. In this way, Zhao only had to wait for the Qin army's food supplies to be exhausted, and then it would naturally retreat and win. victory?"
"result……"
"Zhao Kuo took the initiative to attack and was trapped in a tight siege. In the end, he failed to break out of the siege for forty-six days without food and the entire army was wiped out!"
"And if the Zhao army has enough food, they can follow Lian Po's previous approach and continue to hold on where they are. However, the Qin army will naturally retreat in the end when they see that they cannot trap the Zhao army..."
"Wonderful!"
"So, this gift competition is intended to illustrate this meaning?"
"ha!"
"interesting!"
Unlike Izayoi's exclamation, Shiroyasha suddenly chuckled, and was convinced that with the support of various intelligences, she was able to break through the key to the problem, reveal the true face of the Trap and Gift Tournament, and reveal the hidden victory conditions. Feeling proud of the great wisdom that has appeared.
"White Yaksha..."
"The issue is!"
"Can you think of a way to get enough food for 460,000 people for three years?"
However, before Shiro Yaksha could continue to say something, Black Rabbit asked with a sad face and a trembling and desperate tone.
"ah!"
"This question..."
"Um……"
Hearing Black Rabbit's words, Shiro Yaksha was startled, and then began to frown and think about it seriously.
"If we can't get out, people from outside can't come in, and our shop can't transport people and supplies..."
"Feel sorry!"
"It seems there's nothing we can do!"
Unfortunately, in the end, under the expectant gaze of everyone, Bai Yasha spread her hands after thinking for a while, saying that even if she knew the conditions for victory, even if it seemed easy, under the current situation of being 'sieged', she could not There is really no way to produce enough food to feed 460,000 people for three years.
On the contrary!
If she kills most of the people here, kills the 450,000 people, and then only saves herself and the nameless community, and uses the saved food to ensure her own food for decades, then it can be easily done. arrive.
but……
That is obviously not a condition for winning, so she really has no choice at the moment, at least not when her shop that connects various districts and cities in Hakoniwa cannot operate normally!
"ah?"
"Then what are we going to do?"
"It seems that the victory conditions are very simple, but when that barrier exists, it is simply impossible to complete!"
"that is!"
"Only one month left..."
"Black Rabbit!"
"Is there the kind of food or livestock here that only needs to be planted or raised in a month to have a bumper harvest?"
"ah?"
"How could there be something like that?"
"But!"
"This is Hakoden..."
"Really not?"
"Really do not have!"
"I'm pretty sure not!"
"You don't want to think about it anymore?"
"I really didn't even think about it!"
"Even if a holder of the Druid's ability to make plants grow quickly wants to grow enough food for hundreds of thousands of people for three years in one month, it is impossible!"
"You guys should give up on that!"
"..."
So, naturally, Izayoi, Black Rabbit, Asuka, Kasukabe, Russell and others began to argue and discuss fiercely over the winning conditions revealed by Shiroyasha.
"..."
(￢д￢.)
If she could, Anne really wanted to say: She, Queen Anne, has the means and ability to do it, because ah, that barrier can't trap her at all!
Furthermore, even if she didn't leave the barrier, she could easily poach a small island from the food world, which would probably be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people for three years or even have leftovers.
For example, what kind of Hankela Island was that when we met Uncle Alu and Uncle Komatsu?
It is a magical island full of various ingredients in the legend of the food world. Its existence itself is a legendary ingredient. Even the 'soil' can be eaten. If you move here, you will have hundreds of thousands of rations. Naturally, there is no need to worry anymore.
There are also those butter lakes, fried noodle deserts, etc. If you get a few of them casually, it is enough to feed the people in this area.
"never mind!"
(＿＿*)
"You guys should discuss it slowly!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
However, since these stupid guys did not value their opinions before, and now that they have discovered new problems and do not ask for their opinions first, Anne decided not to give these guys any help until they are on the verge of despair. Or until I think about asking her?
"goodbye!"
()
"Uh huh huh~"
(｀)
With that said, Annie stopped paying attention to the guys who were still arguing with red faces. She directly picked up her little bear, wiped her hands, turned around and skipped away.
As for when those people would argue, or whether they could come up with a solution to the problem, she definitely didn't want to worry about it for the time being.
