…

"Is this an oracle?"

A female voice came from inside the cave, which was covered by layers of weeds.

The woman squatted down and examined the blood-red lines on the rock wall, trying to identify these lines.

"This is..." She moved closer to the texture and rubbed her fingers on the rough wall: "A bloody crow?"

She could not clearly see the outline of the lines, and could only vaguely see that it was the shape of a bird. When she touched it, the system told her that she had found an oracle and could submit it immediately. Once submitted, all contestants would

Convene an expulsion voting meeting immediately.

Leslie squinted her eyes and stood up, her eyes flickering.

She is not ranked among the top 100 players, but she is very famous. Before the game started, she was a first-line actress in Eagle Country. Because she did not obey the unspoken rules, she was targeted, threatened, and even on the verge of having her family destroyed.

Finally, she gave up her self-esteem and her last scruples, and tried every means to get revenge on those who persecuted her.

Of course, she is just an actress with good looks and acting skills. There is no shortage of such people in Eagle Country. Without any background, those who can help her are just "playing" with her.

, and will not really provoke anything for her. Her revenge plan should have failed.

However, by chance, her goal was achieved.

…because of the world game.

After she rose to prominence and gradually showed her strong adaptability to dungeons, she became far more powerful than ordinary people. Facing those enemies who were also selected, she just moved her mouth and there were countless people who looked down on her before.

People, try their best to please her.

This made Leslie gradually realize that what limited her before was not her own abilities, but the world itself. She had... lived in a world that did not allow her to show her suitable abilities.

But now, in such a world, she is at home like a fish in water.

Here, she became stronger, stood taller, saw further, and completely became what people on the forum called a "bad woman". But she didn't care, in fact, she liked this title very much, which made her

I think it's cool.

She put her hand on the pattern called "Oracle" and saw a line of bloody words slowly emerging.

[Obtain clue 1·Oracle (1/6)]

[Oracle (1/6): "It is said that the birth of gods comes from three major factors-energy, people's beliefs, and the authority of gods."]

…

[Get clue 2: The bloody pattern of "bird"]

[The bloody pattern of the raven: You find a bloody "bird" pattern on the stone wall - what does this bird represent? 】

…

[Earn 20 exploration points]

[The clues have been recorded in the clue column and can be viewed at any time.]

…

Leslie heard this system prompt.

"This oracle, it's better... don't submit it yet." She took her hand back. Next to her, the guide Karna, who knew her identity, also nodded.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave.

Leslie was immediately alert, but before she could leave, she saw a few people she least wanted to see.

There was no other escape route in this cave, and now that it was blocked inside, she couldn't even escape.

"There's someone inside." Lu Shu walked in. He was holding a knife for chopping grass. It seemed that he had come all the way through thorns and thorns. There were traces of grass leaves all over his body.

Next to him was Yamada Machichi in a skirt. His body was quite clean.

Obviously, Lu Shu was used as a lawnmower.

As he approached, Lu Shu suddenly recognized the bloody pattern on the mountain wall: "This bird...is it a raven?"

While they were attracted by the oracle, Leslie began to retreat slightly.

"—Raven?"

Leslie's worst fear happened.

Following a familiar voice, a figure she least expected to see appeared at the entrance of the cave.

It's Su Mingan.

Next to him, there was a man covered in a dark robe.

The man in the robe is even more unusual at first glance. He walks in a domineering manner and twists his body left and right. He looks very arrogant and has the demeanor of a beach crab.

"The man in the robe is the first guide...?" Leslie took a step back, trying to reduce her sense of presence.

Coincidentally, Su Mingan's eyes were not on her at all, but kept staring at the patterns on the mountain wall.

"This bloody pattern depicts a raven." Lu Shu said: "Among birds, it has the largest brain. It is considered to have high intelligence and can solve some small intellectual problems. Their pronunciation is also

It’s very broad and can imitate environmental sounds and even imitate human speech.”

Su Mingan looked at the pattern and received a system prompt that a clue had been found.

"Leslie, do you have any clues about the 'ghost'?" Su Mingan suddenly turned around and asked Lesley.

"...For now, not yet." Leslie knew she couldn't hide, so she could only straighten her expression and said: "I have been exploring alone since I was separated from everyone before I found this oracle. If

Lu Shu is right, if this design is a raven... In our mythology, the raven is often associated with the word devil. It is regarded as a representative of wisdom, darkness, sadness and death.

In Norse mythology, Odin also speaks to the raven, and its reputation for wisdom is almost as resounding as its reputation for danger."

She said something about the raven, which promptly covered up her failure to submit the oracle immediately.

"...In addition, in the Old Testament, there are several references to the raven, which is a traveler in the black sky. In many myths, the raven also has different meanings. For example, it is a symbol worshiped by a race, a hero

The image of Cu Chulainn after his death, or an amulet against foreign invasion..." As she spoke, she seemed to be interested in talking to the wall: "... Creatures like ravens are often associated with

The 'mysterious' images are associated with each other, and they are regarded by some cultures as symbolic guardian beings in the dark night. According to legend, during the time of Charles II, the Royal Astronomer complained to the king and requested an order due to the infestation of ravens in the Tower of London.

Clear out the ravens…”

Listening to Leslie's words, Su Mingan suddenly discovered that these players at the top of the list are really not parallel imports. Even just a bird can quote a lot of scriptures and tell a lot of myths and legends.

In fact, this is also a necessary quality for intelligence players. Some clues do require a certain amount of knowledge to form further inferences. Otherwise, players will just wander around like headless flies. Just like in the running group, archeology

Homes, B&B scholars, and occultists are high-risk professions, and they are really important.

Among the intelligence players at the top of the list, there are actually many who have actually engaged in such a profession on Zhai Star, and they all have a universal encyclopedia in their heads.

Lu Shu just recognized a raven, but Leslie seemed to have activated some kind of big library mode and told all the stories about the raven, even in detail and in a clear order, like a preparer.

Great teacher.

"...However, just when the king was about to get rid of these ravens, the ancient prophecy said: 'Once the ravens fly away, the Tower of London will collapse and Glen will suffer misfortune.' Therefore, Charles II had to withdraw his life.

Since then, ravens have multiplied in the tower. Since then, monarchs of all generations have regarded ravens as a symbol of the rise and fall of the country..." Leslie blinked:

“…To ensure that they would become permanent residents of the Tower, these ravens had part of their flight feathers clipped to avoid the fulfillment of the prophecy.

In modern society, ravens still exist. They are often kept in towers and their feathers are regularly clipped to ensure that they cannot leave. Of course, they have also become one of the targets of tourists, boosting the tourism economy.

development of……"

It is said that wise people are the most beautiful.

At this time, Leslie, who said this, in the eyes of the audience, her charm value has simply increased by more than one level.

She stood in the dark cave, and the light from the lamp in the guide's hand shone on her face. Her passionate, deep-lined facial features looked perfect at this moment. She was like a goddess of wisdom standing in the light.

It can be heard from Leslie's words that "Raven" is not only related to gods, but can even be regarded as a "god messenger", and its image is related to danger and night.

And because of a prophecy that "if the raven flies away, it will bring disaster", it was kept in a tower, its feathers were clipped regularly, and it was not allowed to fly away.

Although it is said that the culture on Zhai Planet may not be connected with this dome. But can the raven pattern that appears next to the oracle be related to the meaning Leslie said?

Seeing Su Mingan lost in thought, Leslie closed her mouth, moved her head slightly, and glanced at the first leader next to her.

This first guide is completely covered in a robe, but from the height and figure, we can roughly deduce that she should be a woman.

From the moment he appeared, the man in the robe just stood beside Su Ming'an, but his posture was extremely arrogant. He had one hand on his hip, his feet splayed out, and his head held high, like an octopus with its teeth and claws.

Inexplicably, Leslie felt a strong pressure from this person.

Even though no energy fluctuations were leaked from the opponent's body, and even his posture was very exaggerated, Leslie felt a pressure. Perhaps this is the realm of the strongest leader, who can defeat others without moving...

Suddenly, Su Mingan pressed a pattern on his hand: "Submit the oracle first."

Leslie was slightly startled.

The next moment, a white light suddenly surrounded several people. When they opened their eyes again, they had arrived in another small space.

This is a closed room with dim light, dim candles burning on the round table, and a brass pointer in front of everyone.

[The contestant (Su Mingan) submitted an oracle.]

[The banishment meeting can be held now. After five minutes of discussion, please move the pointer in front of you to select the person to be banished. 】
