Chapter 553: Trouble is coming, candlelight is one-third.
The bloody words slowly faded away, and a doll appeared on the table again.
"I'm being targeted. This is so scary... How could he be so terrifying when he threatened me, but now he has a kind face? He must be a devil..."
The doll seemed like a recorder and played a piece of audio.
Su Yi could clearly tell that this was not the princess' voice.
Is this... a maid?
Then the doll turned into a pool of blood and fell from the air onto the table.
It then meandered and turned into a pool of words.
[The blood of the royal family contains great power]
The bloody words wriggled and disappeared on the desktop again.
Finally everything returned to calm...
"What's going on?" Liu Zihu was confused.
A map made of blood.
A list of cursed spells.
An audio clip of a maid.
A line of strange text.
To him, these inexplicable clues were of no use at all.
Will these things bring any changes to the situation? He couldn't help but want to analyze it carefully.
But when he thought back to the clues just now, he found that there was nothing to analyze at all.
This... can be connected to something...
But just when he was thinking this, he found that everyone was looking at Su Yi with some strange expressions.
At this moment, Su Yi faced the gazes from all around with a calm and composed attitude.
This maintains ease and consistent logic is the first element.
Before you reveal your cards, no one knows who you are or whether what you say is true or false.
Like Schrödinger's cat.
The same applies to the current situation.
Your own cards are known, but the rules of the game are still full of unknowns.
As long as it is not clear, there is still a possibility.
"How is it?" Jiang Tianxia broke the silence with a calm tone.
His eyes were directed at Su Yi.
Su Yi looked around, and only spoke slowly after his eyes met those around him.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Su Yi also looked at Jiang Tianxia calmly.
"Red candles are the formation, thoughts are the eyes. Follow your heart and turn it into spiritual resentment."
"From this sentence, we can tell that this is the spell used by the princess to cast a curse, or rather, the way she casts a curse."
"And the curse of a single person, relying on it to spread. It means that a single person is the curse, relying on it to spread the curse. And the cycle of birth and death, repetition and reincarnation, is naturally talking about our present."
Jiang Tianxia sorted out the contents of the curse chapter.
"In that case, the curse cast by the princess is aimed at a single person, so who is that person? I don't need to say more, Su Yi."
"...He is the tax collector who is targeted by the evil spirits." Honghong looked at Su Yi's face and said slowly.
"In this way, everything, as well as the princess's effect, naturally makes sense."
"Isn't it, tax collector...Su Yi?" Jiang Tianxia tapped the table lightly.
The originally empty gaze suddenly became sharp.
Xie Keqing and Su Guangjing looked at Su Yi while thinking. It must be said that everyone also figured out Jiang Tianxia's words when they heard the curse.
As soon as this clue came out, they couldn't help but lean towards Jiang Tianxia.
As he said before, not everyone is necessarily the object of his curse.
Maybe there were only one or two bad guys from beginning to end.
Liu Zihu was confused. He didn't realize what the clue was just now, but now, with just one sentence, it seemed like his big brother had become the target of public criticism?
"I don't want to deny this, but whether the cursed person is really the tax collector is debatable."
"I won't talk about other things, nor will I hide anything or create opposition. Since I am a suspect, I will focus on analyzing myself."
Su Yi said calmly, as if the current life and death had nothing to do with him.
Su Guangjing looked at Su Yi with even more admiration in his eyes.
Xie Keqing and Liu Zihu waited quietly for Su Yi's words. After all, every time he said something meaningful.
In the face of what seemed to be a hopeless situation, what else could he say?
Now all the evidence seemed to have shifted from the princess to him, the tax collector.
Xie Keqing asked himself, if he were in his position now, he wouldn't be able to say much effective words to defend himself.
So, what would you do?
Or are you the real alien?
Xie Keqing looked at Su Yi, whose expression was calm, without blinking.
Lan Ji suddenly relaxed her brows and chuckled, "I didn't expect it to be your turn now..."
Su Yi pinched his shoulders and stretched his body: "Now let me analyze the reasons or possibilities why I am not the cursed person."
Everyone stared at Su Yi leisurely, as if trying to find some flaws in his performance.
Su Yi still spoke calmly: "It's like this, you think I am a cursed person, there are only two reasons."
"First of all, I am the Marquis's man. I know the Marquis and his castle best, and I personally organized this team of alchemists. I am familiar with the place, and I recruited the people. You think I am the most likely and most suitable person to have started organizing this plan a long time ago."
"The second point is that the evil spirit has been chasing me and has attacked me twice in a row. You think it has a purpose and hates me so much, so I should be the one she curses."
Su Yi calmly explained the two reasons.
Liu Zihu now understood how serious Su Yi's situation was.
At least after he finished speaking, Liu Zihu understood more clearly that Su Yi might be the cursed person...
Oh no...something is going to happen to my big brother...Liu Zihu couldn't help but think.
Du Wei also smiled and said, "That's true, Jiang Tianxia, you're lucky, but..."
He turned and looked at Su Yi.
"You kid, even if you are a little smart, you will just bury yourself in the end, haha."
"You..." Liu Zihu was angry. He didn't expect that there was someone more stupid than him. He couldn't even see what was going on with this person.
He was criticizing Jiang Tianxia with all his confidence just now, but now he is talking about Brother Su as if nothing had happened.
The brain is like a third-level disabled person, biting people everywhere.
As soon as Brother Su saved everyone's life, this person started to mock them again.
Su Yi was not affected by him at all, and immediately interrupted Liu Zihu's subsequent retort.
"Regarding the first point, I think I have made it very clear before. I may be the one who knows the Marquis best, and I may also be the one who knows the Marquis's mansion best, but... it is precisely because the tax collector has a certain status and identity that it stands to reason that the Marquis trusts me so much, and there must be a reason for that."
"As the Marquis's confidant and tax collector, he obviously lacks motivation to be a robber in the castle."
"Second..." Su Yi paused for a moment and glanced at everyone around him.
Lan Ji and Hong Hong's eyes never left Su Yi.
