Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1019 Xi Tiansi: Full marks!

Yasen sighed: "Mainly because I don't have any emotions anymore..."

He originally wanted to say "It's all Xi Tiansi's fault".

But he is not Aiwass after all, and he does not have the confidence to speak ill of Tiansi to his face.

Aiwass was not afraid at all and explained directly: "Because we met a Xi Tiansi who pretended to be you before..."

Aiwass explained to Sherlock everything that had happened before.

Yasen pointed at Xi Tiansi beside him: "He is right here... Hey, where is he?"

At this moment, they realized that Xi Tiansi beside them had disappeared at some point.

Obviously, at the beginning, He had been standing quietly by the side.

After hearing this, Sherlock looked at the open space, thinking about something.

He looked at Aiwass and Yasen and fell into serious thought.

Seeing this, Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly.

"...I said so."

Suddenly, Sherlock spoke slowly, "You are not the Xi Tiansi, are you?"

"what?"

Yasen was a little unhappy: "How is that possible!"

“…No, it’s not impossible.”

Aiwass suddenly said: "I actually thought of this possibility just now...

"You wouldn't... be transformed by Xi Tiansi, right?"

"How can it be!"

Yasen repeated his words and said with certainty: "This is definitely Sherlock! Those secrets, Xi Tiansi has no way of knowing them... His area of ​​expertise is editing, directing and acting, not secrets and the soul!"

But Aiwass just looked at Sherlock.

Sherlock said, "Let's check it out."

Aiwass asked, "Who was the first person to speak?"

"It's me - what about you?" Sherlock asked back.

"…It's Xi Tiansi." Yasen said.

Aiwass asked, "So, before I mentioned 'we met Xi Tiansi', did you hear us mention Xi Tiansi?"

"--No."

Sherlock said with great certainty: "Trust my observation and memory."

At this point, Aiwass and Sherlock looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Yassen was still a little behind the times: "What? What... are you talking about?"

"After all, our Kaito-san is best at running away."

Sherlock said sarcastically, "Can't you even solve such a simple puzzle? No wonder the Duke asked me to handle this matter instead of letting his beloved - or perhaps not so beloved - son-in-law do it."

"It's very simple."

Aiwass replied: "If I'm not mistaken... this 'Sherlock' should still be played by Xi Tiansi.

"——And not far away, Sherlock should have also seen you and me played by Xi Tiansi at the same time."

It's like opening a chess software with a master AI, imitating every move of the chess-playing old man across the table, and then synchronizing every response given by the AI ​​onto the chessboard. Even an old man who is good at chess can be stunned by it.

It looks like you are playing chess with a human, but in fact, the opponent is a divine vessel that uses "Advanced Divine Art - Master-level AI".

The same strategy was adopted by Xi Tiansi.

He perfectly and almost synchronously reproduced all the words, expressions, and eyes of both parties... and synchronously fed them back to the other side. Therefore, even Aiwass and Sherlock, who knew each other very well, did not realize the problem at first. "It seems that I am still lacking."

"Sherlock" smiled heartily, and his whole person changed back to normal.

A god dressed in red, with a puppet mask, who cannot be distinguished between male and female!

This dream was distorted for a moment.

——The next moment, the two worlds completely merged.

There is an additional Sherlock on Aiwass' side, and there are additional Aiwass and Arsene on Sherlock's side.

“This time it’s really true.”

Xi Tiansi, who was wearing a smiley mask, bowed to the three of them and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I just have a question... How did you find me?"

Because apart from the barely noticeable delay, both parties were basically the same person. Theoretically, it was impossible for Xi Tiansi, who was just a messenger, to be discovered by both parties at the same time. Even if one side discovered it, he could use the other side's real reaction to cover it up.

“It’s actually really hard to tell.”

Aiwass began to explain.

It was not until he told Sherlock about Xi Tiansi... and saw Sherlock's reaction that he realized something was wrong.

——Because the first words they said when they met were actually said by Xi Tiansi.

After that, the first thing Aiwass said to Sherlock was "Thanks to Xi Tiansi for leading the way." But Sherlock responded to all of Aiwass's words except this half sentence, as if he had not heard the sentence at all.

It was not until Aiwass said directly, "We encountered a Xitiansi who pretended to be you before," that Sherlock seemed to finally hear the existence of Xitiansi.

——Obviously, Xi Tiansi deliberately omitted this sentence when he passed on the message.

"Well, you don't have to apologize. This puzzle is pretty interesting after all."

Sherlock also spoke, chuckled and nodded: "I actually always felt something was wrong. After all, I am very familiar with Yassen. His reaction is obviously abnormal...so I have been observing him.

"And Yasen's position, his line of sight, and the direction he pointed to without hesitation all prove that there is a fourth person here. Before, Aiwass also nodded to the air, which further proved my point. But I am sure that I absolutely cannot miss a single detail... There are only two possibilities. Either Xi Tiansi doesn't want me to see Him, but in that case, He doesn't need to appear on Yasen's side; or, there is something wrong with what I see in front of me. And Aiwass's reaction convinced me that what he saw might also be wrong."

"So you discovered the truth right away - that's great."

Xi Tiansi applauded and praised: "I have been too bored recently, so I came up with this game. I have no ill intentions, please forgive me... But you have passed my test. According to my rules, I should give you some rare rewards..."

"Give it to Sherlock, or to Arsene. I don't need it."

Aiwas refused without hesitation: "I am just a little curious, Master Tianshi...

"If you had come directly the second time instead of the first time... Sherlock and I would not have been able to recognize it. It was because of the loophole the first time that we found the clue the second time."

"——If I don't tell you about my existence, then this game is unfair from the very beginning. It's better to say it's a malicious fraud!"

Xi Tiansi smiled carefreely and said without hesitation: "I just wanted to show you a trick - I wanted to see if you could find the problem and how long it would take for you to find out that it was me who stayed with you all the time. But I never expected that the show had just begun, and before the first act even turned, you all revealed the truth at the same time..."

"Because I heard something from Isabel."

Aiwass said softly, "That's her summary of the Puppet Mask Sutra... 'The riddle that originally formed the riddle is itself the answer to the riddle.' When I first met you and learned that you were Xi Tianshi... I immediately thought of this sentence."

"Hahaha, that's it!"

Xi Tiansi laughed heartily, like an audience member laughing so hard at a comedy.

He said loudly: "But you still missed a level - I haven't just seen you!"

……what?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

Yasen blurted out: "It's that Moon Deer! You've been following us since Shadow Sky Commander!"

"That's right!! Now it's full marks!!!"

Xi Tiansi snapped his fingers and finally disappeared with a loud laugh.

A red puppet mask fell where he disappeared.

Aiwass took one look and realized that it was the reward He left for them.
