Chapter 14 Cashing out the Bet

No matter how much he agrees with the philosophy, Icha has no special feeling about being a "Nesis".

He didn't care too much either.

Even if it is true or not, there are suddenly a few more and fewer laurels on the head with beautiful words such as "omniscient" and "guiding the way", which seem to have nothing to do with what we want to do now.

The information about the Hell Tree and the Hanged Ghost of Alexander is very critical.

It is the first to mention the "shepherd", but does not say that the shepherd is him, but refers to an ancient, mysterious being.

Moreover, this tree also has first-class authority - even if there are errors in what he says, it is difficult for anyone to point them out.

"The principle of betrayal of fate".

"The snooping devil."

He reopened the letter and saw the two words.

The moment he saw it, the words in his eyes changed shape.

The two words trembled like pinned insects, and the edges of the strokes began to extend upward, forming new words above the original words:

"I see."

A chill surged from Yi Cha's heart. He took the letter aside. Take a breath.

Read the letter again.

It’s still the “peeping devil” line.

The "I" in "I understand" becomes "you".

As if knowing that Yi Cha had finished reading and had the news engraved in his mind, the extra words "you know" disappeared at exactly the right moment.

Yi Cha knew exactly what those two redundant words meant.

"I know you know."

This is what the snooping devil said to him.

Through the line of words with his title, through one or both of the two actions of "seeing" and "knowing" just now.

Through these behaviors related to "snooping", snooping is triggered.

This must be the rule of the snooping devil.

If "Nesis the Shepherd" is also the "Peeping Devil"...

In any case, the experience gained from the terminal lawyer initially shows that the devil is a creature that is not mutually exclusive with other identities and can be explained by a single structure theory.

Under the single structure theory——

As long as another creature meets the rules and conditions for becoming a devil and can implement the devil's rules, it cannot help but be called a devil.

The chill spread and filled my heart.

To find out the "profitable report".

Other rules implicitly called him to do so.

The rules of the game left behind by the gambler call him to do so.

“We bet you’re not going to leave the End of the End alone.

You bet it is, I bet it is not.

Don't rush, you will know when you win.

And you'll also know what the stakes are. "

The gambler said so.

He kept his word.

Icha did know that now.

The second he saw those two extra lines, he knew he had won the bet.

Although he was carrying the Amplitude Three Hundred that had shrunk into an object, Ben wasn't sure if this was considered leaving alone.

Now it’s certain——

"Alone" means something else.

It is a regular path.

besides.

The image of a white seagull holding herring in its mouth on the profit report does not exactly mean "big harvest".

It is actually the fusion of two scenes that have already happened:

The land builder lies deep on the ground, manipulates gravity, and drags the moon.

And the way he flew away from the blue end of the world with the appearance of an angel.

"Congratulations on your win."

The gambler's voice rang in his head - and there were even a few celebratory sounds of fireworks exploding.

This is the information that is pre-wired into the gambler's game when the game is formed.

"You knew I was going to win." Yi Cha tried to use his consciousness to talk to the gambler.

Maybe there will be some pre-built dialogue he can trigger. There is no reason why gamblers should not expect this.

Sure enough, the gambler's voice did not disappear, but he replied in a decent manner:

"Of course."

"You're a professional gambler, but you don't want to win?"

Yi Cha expressed his guess. "Unless this bet is part of a bigger bet. What is that bet?"

"I knew you were going to ask this question. All I can say is: I bet you will win."

"I will win. So am I in a bet again? Is this bet about shepherds and shell rings? The bet is of course the fate of the entire universe?

"First Evolution"

At present, it seems that only this level of gambling is worthy of your preparation.

Let me ask you, do you bet that Nesis will defeat Lan Lewin again, or me? "

There should be no need to hide the phantom rules left by the gamblers, so Yi Cha simply revealed all his conjectures.

Waited for a while.

This question should be beyond the range of answers preset by the rules of the gambling game. The gambler remained silent and did not answer.

Somewhat annoying.

Icha doesn't want to be in any game.

So what if you win? You have disappeared into the void of the universe. The words almost came out of my mouth.

But there is no need to ask. Even if the martyrs die, they will not stop moving forward on the "road".

"Okay. Now let me reveal to you the bet you won."

The gambler's voice sounded again, and another topic was raised.

"I don't want to know." Icha said quickly.

The gambler laughed softly.

"You were prepared for even this sentence. You knew I didn't want to know."

Icha sighed.

"You win. I have to give you what you win. It's up to you whether you want it or not."

The gambler stopped laughing. "You have earned your mission."

"I think it's just rhetoric," Icha said.

He has realized the key to this——

The vision of law, the legend of the snooping devil, and the extra words just seen.

All indicate the same thing:

"Know",

Enough to change the nature of things.

"Know" can be broken down into "know" and "understand clearly".

He could vaguely feel that as long as he learned about the gambler's bet, something would change - and in a direction he didn't expect.

The gambler's voice is indifferent:

"Your mission is to permanently banish the enemy you know. You know who he is."

He finished.

The sound will dissipate.

"Wait!" Icha shouted at him. "Let me ask you another question! Do martyrs also call their pursuits a 'mission'?"

"We won't." The gambler paused and replied.

"We've just always done that," he added. "Now, look at your hands. It will tell you what you have to gain from this."

He really finished this time. The sound fades.

The Gambler's voice, and presence, was literally gone this time.

Yi Cha was silent for a while and opened the "profitable scale" in his hand.

The pattern on it is menacing.

At first glance, it almost breaks the frame——

A terrifying eye with an angry glare and dazzling golden light.

"Crack."

Yi Cha closed the locket with an expressionless expression.

There is another letter.

He forced down his surging thoughts and opened the third letter.

The third letter talks about the request of Alexander to hang himself:

The Tree of Hell wants to revive the Realm of the Abyss.

In his letter, Shan Karabi sincerely asked for a solution.

Yi Cha rubbed his forehead and helped them think in their minds.

Comeniti is the first to come to mind.

The Abyss Demon is filled with a large number of tortured soul fragments, and matters related to the soul can always be solved in Gameniti.

He wrote this line of thinking and added: "This is a last resort."

After thinking about it, he added some dirty methods for manipulating souls and told them where they could learn them.

This is not a helpful approach either.

"Or go find Taliliqi." He added the coordinates of the life mentor.

The reply was sent.

Icha took a deep breath and embarked on the journey to continue looking for Xikis.
