"Then his second sentence said: Everything I say are rules. Then he said fourteen more rules.
“This gives the misleading impression that what he originally said was just an introduction to the area of the rules and not the rules.
“That’s what I thought at first.
"But in fact, since everything he said is a rule. In other words, the first sentence is actually a rule.
"We should call it Rule 0."
"oh?"
There was a rare ripple in the mysterious woman's clear eyes.
"You're saying that releasing the sacrifice itself is against the rules."
"right!"
Meng Fei nodded.
"In order to ensure that he would be resurrected, the God of Death directly wrote into the rules that other people would become sacrifices and that he would be resurrected through sacrifices and return to the throne of God.
"Whoever does anything to stop it is breaking the rules."
“And in his wish for the ultimate winner, Rule 12: The wish cannot violate the rules of the realm.
"If the wish is to release the sacrifice and affect the resurrection of the God of Death, then the wish will be directly discarded!"
Death must make full use of the negentropy he has and formulate the least restrictive rules, but must ensure that he can be resurrected successfully.
So he set many traps.
In short, if you kill each other honestly until only the last one is left, he doesn't mind if the only final winner can survive and grant this person one wish.
But no matter what the wish was, it could not affect his resurrection.
“Since according to the rules, only one person can survive in the end, why should I give you my cards?
"Shouldn't I accept your challenge and win all the cards from your hand?"
The mysterious woman turned her eyes to look at the surrounding black fog, blinking and asking with a bit of mischief.
"Haha," Meng Fei said with a smile, "Do you believe in the witch's absolute loyalty?"
The woman did not shake her head or nod, but said without hesitation: "I can believe it for now."
"Okay, let's believe it for now."
Meng Fei patted his knees, which were numb from sitting for a long time.
"If we all believe that the miko is absolutely loyal, and that Qi Mei, who is sitting opposite you, is a miko who is loyal to the left winger.
"Then the prediction she made is absolutely reliable.
"First, she said that the left winger challenged me and he would win. She was already right about this. Because I gave up, I paid a card to give up. So he won.
"Second, she said that the left winger will become a god."
"Third, she originally handed her cards to Zuo Feng, so that Zuo Feng could win immediately. But she refused, saying that Zuo Feng would not be able to become a god."
"First of all, don't you think the first and second points she said are inconsistent with the rules of the Death God Realm?
"Theoretically, the left winger can become the final winner and then ask the God of Death for his wish to become a god.
"But it's good that this sacrifice can resurrect the god of death. How can two gods be created in one sacrifice?
"Unless the God of Death is willing to sacrifice himself and use himself as a sacrifice to make Zuo Feng the new god.
"But this actually goes against the 0th rule that the God of Death will inevitably resurrect and return to his throne."
"You mean, Qi Mei lied, and Zuo Feng can't become a god?"
"No, we have all recognized that Qi Mei is absolutely loyal to Zuo Fan. She may lie to us, but she cannot lie to Zuo Fan.
"So the left winger will definitely become a god."
"Well, that's a contradiction indeed."
The mysterious woman came over, sat next to Meng Fei, held her chin in her hands, and entered a state of thinking.
“Where the contradiction lies, there lies the answer.”
Meng Fei's self-bragging was forced to pause because he found that his eyes were completely attracted by this mysterious woman.
She wore a veil, and her long hair had a metallic luster flowing down like water under the moonlight.
They first accumulated on the rounded shoulders that were swollen due to lowering the head, and then slid down the left arm to form a beautiful waterfall.
"Go on."
The mysterious woman didn't notice his gaze, but curiously reminded him to continue.
"Did you notice that Qi Mei spoke Mantis language to Zuo Feng.
"You will become a god.
"What he said was:
"YubWebeGudCentle."
In the era when the Death God Empire was at its peak, Mantis was a truly noble language. Not only can it be used universally by the Death God Empire, but nobles from many countries in Central and Western Continent are using it and are proud of it.
But Meng Fei's Mantis pronunciation was very jerky, which made the scene very awkward.
"Yub."
Meng Fei bit the bullet and emphasized it again.
"Did you notice that word?"
"Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with this word." The mysterious woman covered her mouth through the veil and smiled, "Except for your pronunciation..."
But she seemed to realize something.
"The Mantis word Yub does mean 'you' in spoken language."
At this time, Meng Fei had to show that He Ma was a knowledgeable man who knew everything.
“But in the theological classics of the Death God Empire, Yub is actually the abbreviation of YuBydys.
"The precise meaning it represents is 'your body'. There is also a corresponding word called YuSous, which means 'your soul'.
“It’s just that in real life, people often use the word Yub to refer to you, ignoring its true meaning.
"But the witch's prophecies should theoretically be expressed in the most precise theological language to avoid ambiguity."
"So that's it."
The mysterious woman's brows spread, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"Qi Mei's prophecy is actually: your body will become a god.
"In other words, he will become a sacrifice. His body will become the new living body of the God of Death, just a shell.
"As for his soul, it may have been devoured, or it may have returned to the underworld.
"The prophecy is just expressed in a different way to sound tempting."
The idiot Zuo Feng worked so hard for a prophecy of becoming a god, even at the risk of his own throne and the lives of everyone in the country.
The end result is that he contributed his body to God for free?
Is this ridiculous or pitiful?
"King Mantis is indeed very sad."
The mysterious woman showed serious sympathy in her eyes. But as soon as she blinked, her mind seemed to move again.
"But you haven't explained why I must give you my cards?
"Even if you win in the end, won't you be able to release me?
"Shouldn't I grab all the cards in your hand and become the ultimate winner to save my life?"
"Um."
Meng Fei played with a total of seven cards in his hand.
"Even if you beat me, you can only get nine cards. One less than winning."
"What does it matter?"
The mysterious woman retorted with bright eyes.
"If you lose, the next challenger will be me. Regardless of whether I take the initiative to challenge Qi Mei or Zuo Feng, I can get ten cards."
