Chapter 564: Unknown Clues
Everyone was silent, only Du Wei was chattering.
The current situation is already very urgent, but no clues have been released yet.
It felt like a huge stone was pressing on everyone's heart.
Because if the rules are made clear, everyone can choose the right person to vote at the last minute.
But now the rules are unclear, and it is almost impossible for everyone to feel at ease. How can we just take things one step at a time?
Once the candle went out, everyone's life was gone.
The unclear rules make everyone feel like they are waiting to die.
"Please continue. I'd like to see what else you can analyze." Jiang Tianxia stared at Su Yi. From beginning to end, his eyes never left Su Yi, as if he wanted to see through Su Yi.
Su Yi didn't look at anyone, but continued to stare at the candle.
"What if there are no more clues from now on?"
Su Yi silently said something that no one could understand.
"There will be no more clues. That means we are just waiting to die. We can only..." Liu Zihu was surprised.
"Perhaps, he has given all the clues, and the clues are very fragmented. What is being tested is our ability to clarify the entire copy..." After hearing what Su Yi said, Su Guangjing began to seriously consider what to do if there were no clues.
"I didn't think so before, but now, Su Yi has helped us put together a story based on these clues."
"That means this is probably how the game works. The fragmented clues have been completely given, and we need to piece together the direction and ending of the story..."
Xie Keqing asked with some embarrassment: "Can you think of any clues?"
She unconsciously shifted her gaze towards Su Yi.
No one in the audience had the ability to analyze clues in a fragmented way like he did.
Xie Keqing was very confident.
In every game, for her, Su Yi's ideas were always very clear, yet precise.
I have to admire it.
And now the previous analysis is exactly the same.
No one expected that some seemingly useless clues could be connected by him and integrated into a decent framework.
The truth... is completely unclear, but Xie Keqing already feels that the incident really unfolded like this...
The facts seemed no longer important to her. Any analysis now seemed groundless.
It seems that everything, just like what Su Yi is doing now, can only be supported by the rationality of the clues.
This may be the true meaning of the game.
And Su Yi discovered it early...
In front of everyone's eyes, the flickering candle exuded a dim light, like a ghost in the dark, burning strangely. It had burned to one-sixth of its life, just like the ruthless operation of a life timer, and every passing moment foreshadowed the approach of death.
In this tense and strange atmosphere, everyone's breathing finally became disordered, and even if their faces looked normal, their heartbeats involuntarily accelerated dramatically.
Even with Su Yi around, Liu Zihu's forehead was already covered in cold sweat, as if he was shrouded in an invisible fear.
"If the clue has been given, then the answer must have been determined." Su Yi raised his head.
He had an idea in his mind!
“All the people on the list are people with no social connections.”
"Or maybe you could say that... they are the ones who no one would care about if they died. Except... the prince."
"But the prince was disguised as a foreigner. If the delegation didn't know, then the prince was just like these people."
"That is to say, no one cares whether they live or die."
"That's right." Lan Ji confirmed. Not only did she notice this, she believed that Su Guangjing and others should also know it.
"Normally speaking, since you are pretending to be an alchemist, you can just use your own people. Why go through the trouble of forming a team, and they are made of strangers?" Su Yi continued.
"It's even more strange for a marquis to do this."
“So the Marquis asked the tax officer to recruit. The action of recruiting was handed over to the tax officer, but it was initiated by the Marquis.”
"So he must have a deep meaning in doing this."
"Besides... their death won't attract attention... why did it have to be them?" Su Guangjing also raised the question, hoping that Su Yi could give him an answer.
"He needs these people's emotions." Su Yi snapped his fingers, and he finally figured out the key point!
Sure enough, this game was too thrilling.
Even without previous gaming experience, he felt that he might not be able to analyze this.
"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire!"
Lan Ji raised her brows slightly and looked at Su Yi in surprise.
"Seven emotions?"
Lan Ji was full of doubts. Where did the clues come from? Su Yi was too out of touch...
"It is the seven emotions."
“Perhaps the secret to longevity lies in these seven emotions.”
"The joy of the citizens, the sorrow of the police, the horror or disgust of the maids, the love of the princes, the lust of the gamblers."
"Besides the princess, the only people left are the guards and the tax collectors."
"These characters seem to show that although the maids might be horrified when threatened, they are the only ones who clearly express their disgust for them, so the maids are basically disgusted."
"In this case, all that's left is anger and fear."
"As for the tax collector, I would venture to guess that he was afraid of the Marquis, or perhaps he was afraid after seeing something. I think that as the Marquis's man, he might have noticed something that outsiders didn't know."
"Then the guard, as an unmarried veteran who has just retired from the army, is angry about temporarily excluding the law."
"No...what do you mean by matching several people to the seven emotions?" Du Wei immediately questioned when he saw Su Yi starting to say something he couldn't understand.
"Are you starting to talk nonsense?"
"crazy?"
"Hey, I said you are the crazy one, right? I have tolerated you for a long time, you kid, watch your mouth, I think you just want to waste our time. Can't you see Brother Su is analyzing something? You just sit down and listen carefully!" Liu Zihu was the first to disagree when he saw Du Wei jumping out to scold Su Yi again. Although he couldn't understand what Brother Su said, he was listening carefully.
This ghost thing has popped up again. What’s going on with this guy?
Crazy?
Du Wei was about to speak, but Jiang Tianxia unexpectedly stopped him: "Stop talking nonsense and listen to him."
"Okay, each of you!" Du Wei stared at them angrily, "I want to see what he has to say."
Su Yi didn't care about this episode. Even when they were arguing, he didn't stop talking: "In this way, the six people in the alchemist group, plus a maid, can correspond to the seven emotions."
"And with these seven emotions in place, the princess's grievances will also be in place... then the nobles' goal will be achieved."
"So everything was not in vain. All the clues given are linked together. The maid was threatened, and the words she heard were all the reasons why the princess finally cast the curse."
"In this case, the casting of the curse must correspond to immortality."
Lan Ji looked at what Su Yi said, and even though it was a little confusing, she listened patiently.
Now the man seemed to be explaining, and also seemed to be clarifying his thoughts.
What exactly is he going to say?
What is the connection between the so-called seven emotions and curses and immortality...
