My future diary cannot be the last one

Nine players, ten identities.

For people who often read mystery novels, this arrangement can easily be associated with the "hidden tenth player", which is a very normal inference.

but it is not the truth.

Rather, it's probably just the opposite.

The first fact that needs to be made clear is that the man who died suddenly before was not a detective, nor was he killed by a desperate gambler.

Thinking of this, Xun Xi looked at the letter in his hand, which had an identity written on it: [Betrayer: You have been wandering for half your life, only regretting that you have never met your master. Now you are appreciated by the murderer, and you are willing to be your adopted father - in your eyes, There was a layer of red blood floating above the heads of the murderer and his accomplices. 】

This is a good person identity.

Besides the detective, he is the second good guy who can check the identity of the bad guys and even the murderer. He is a very important good guy character.

"Bogin was probably simply killed."

But not by a desperate gambler, but by a murderer.

Sometimes, if you've eliminated all other possibilities, the one that's left, no matter how incredible, is just the truth.

"Bogin had no contact with anyone before he suddenly came forward and revealed who the murderer was, and this did not meet the requirements for contact by detectives to check the identity. He also cannot be a betrayer, because the betrayer can not only see the murderer , and you can also see the identities of other accomplices.”

Theoretically, he does not have the conditions to know who the murderer is.

So there is only one truth:

"He himself is the murderer."

Xun Xi whispered to himself: "As a murderer, he remained silent at first. He didn't stand up until the portrait told the victory conditions of the 'murderer'."

Why?

The answer is simple: because the murderer's victory condition is to kill all the good people, and he doesn't want to kill a good person.

".Lin Cuiyuan."

Bo Jin came here with Lin Cuiyuan, and their relationship was obviously unusual. The murderer knew the identity of his accomplice. Perhaps Bo Jin discovered that Lin Cuiyuan was not his accomplice, but a good person, so he had the idea to reveal his identity and end the game directly.

But he died.

"This is normal. After all, he is not the real murderer, he just has the identity of 'murderer'. And the real murderer naturally intends to reclaim the identity of the murderer."

"But...it's not easy."

To do this, the real murderer must have an accomplice.

And it's not his identity in the game, he's an accomplice in the true sense. He knew all the plans and reasons why Mrs. Luo designed this ceremony.

And the identity of this accomplice can only be a [Gambler] who can kill people by guessing his identity. He knew the identity of the murderer in advance and helped the real murderer kill the murderer. As for why the game did not end after the murderer died, there is an identity that can explain the reason.

[Tombrobber: You can steal the identity of the dead]

There is only one explanation: after Borgin's death, his identity was stolen by grave robbers. Because the murderer was replaced, the game did not end immediately.

So the question is, who mentioned the tomb robbers just now?

"What a way"

Xun Xi smiled: "He was the first to mention the tomb robbers, and the first to transfer other people's suspicions about the tomb robbers to Qin Shou."

"After all, Qin Shou is General Faqiu, one of the three sects of tomb robbers."

"The identity of a tomb robber suits him very well."

"This is a trick." Xun Xi recalled his previous speculation about He Zudao's identity: due to the existence of one of He Zudao's supernatural powers, the King of Shadows, he subconsciously concluded that He Zudao was probably a [Shadow Assassin]. After all, The identity is customized according to everyone's supernatural powers.

And there must be more than one person who has the same idea as him.

Others who are familiar with He Zudao must have guessed this.

But what is the reality? If He Zudao is really the accomplice of the real murderer, then according to Xun Xi's previous deduction, his identity cannot be a [Shadow Assassin].

He should be a [Gambler]!

And Xun Xi also knew something that others didn't know: He Zudao had been trapped in Luofeng County for so many years, and his relationship with Mr. Luo was definitely very good.

Let’s get back to the topic.

Nine players, ten identities. In addition to the possibility of a "hidden tenth player", there is another possibility of "someone holding dual roles."

[Tombrobber] and [Murderer]

"It's a ritual."

Xun Xi was pacing on the spot and thinking. The light in her eyes became brighter and brighter, as if the fog had been cleared away: "Mr. Luo arranged this ceremony, which is very similar to what I did in Hehua Village. It's just that the scale is larger and the methods are better. Higher, even involving the original existence.”

".I see!"

Xun Xi has not forgotten that this movie took place during the war years, nearly a hundred years ago, so many things are different from reality.

"There are three conditions for the last generation to be promoted to a subspecies."

"The price of life, the compensation for sin, and the destiny of death. The three conditions respectively symbolize eternal life, the price of supernatural beings, and the supernatural being of mortal death."

"Mr. Luo will try to advance to the original level a hundred years later."

"This shows that he has successfully been promoted to subspecies long ago."

"And this ceremony is most likely the one he used to advance to the subspecies! The principle of the ceremony is exactly the same as what I did in Hehua Village."

"[The grave robber] stole the identity of the [murderer], and then stole the identity of the [deceased]. In this case, the situation will become a logical paradox where the murderer killed the deceased. He is both the [murderer] and the [deceased] ], through which he will live on the border between life and death just like me."

The covalency of life is thus completed.

And this ritual is not just that. The identity of the [dead man] and [murderer] will help Mr. Luo perfectly resolve the supernatural cost.

[The deceased] bears the supernatural price.

[The murderer] possesses supernatural power.

Because the [Decedent] is already dead, no matter how great the supernatural cost, it doesn't matter. In this way, the payment for sin was completed.

As for the last mortal ghost, this is almost the standard configuration of the last generation and above.

In short, when Mr. Luo gathered the [dead man] and the [murderer] as a [grave robber], he had already achieved his goal.

From the beginning, he never wanted the ceremony to end!

It's like the original Lotus Village ceremony still remains with Xun Xi. Mr. Luo planned to make this ceremony an endless loop.

"Not only that."

Mr. Luo is not Si Nian. As an extraordinary person, he is undoubtedly the type who sacrifices himself to the supernatural. Therefore, it is not him who can really be promoted to the subspecies, but the parasitic spirit parasitizing on him. But Mr. Luo used some method to get rid of this restriction.

".It is you."

Xun Xi suddenly turned his head and looked at the portrait in the center of the Sancha Corridor. The old man in the portrait had the same face as Mr. Luo.

——

That's right, Mr. Luo is not dead.

From the very beginning, it was not Mr. Luo who informed everyone that he was the [deceased], but this portrait that looked exactly like Mr. Luo.

And if Xun Xi guessed correctly, this painting is the last generation of supernatural beings in Mr. Luo.

Mr. Luo may have coaxed it with sweet words.

As a result, it took the initiative to play the role of [the deceased] and became the party who "suffered the supernatural price" in the ceremony. The result is: it will freeze!

In contrast, Mr. Luo controlled it perfectly.

This method of using supernatural hedging to control the last generation is probably the inspiration that Mr. Luo got from He Zudao.

but

".Why, it didn't succeed?"

After thinking everything through, Xun Xi was not excited, but frowned: "According to this plan, Mrs. Luo should succeed soon."

"He only needs to return to this room after the others leave, and then take away the [dead] identity of the portrait, and he is done. There is no need to kill anyone, and everything will be over. But the fact is that the game is not over. My character Kane was cast."

Why?

"Da da." Just as Xun Xi was deep in thought, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, and the owner of the footsteps solved his doubts.

".It is you."

Xun Xi's eyes widened, and finally she showed an unexpected but reasonable expression: Because she suddenly turned back, the person who walked into the lobby of the villa was not Mr. Luo, nor He Zudao.

But——

"Wu Chang."
