Finally, the "tenth man" killed everyone else one by one.

At the end of this story, Mr. Hoven made a clear comment, three sentences.

The first sentence: The only person who survived was not lucky, but maybe the "tenth person" did not have the ability to kill the only person.

The second sentence: This "tenth man" definitely exists, but that team of priests can't find it anyway, ruling out the possibility that the hidden mysterious strongman plays a boring cat and mouse game with them for fun.

It may be that there is a big problem with the way this "tenth person" exists. He can exist in people's perception and cognition, but there is no way to form specific traces.

Combined with the fact that he can kill but cannot kill the last person, it means that his killing method should require a special medium. This is not a physical problem, or even a theological problem... Maybe it has been recorded in theology before, but I haven't yet.

Record found.

This should be a cognitive issue, a cognitive way of killing.

The third sentence: I added this with a bit of excitement. I was once very interested in this incident, but the final ending was very sloppy because I was unable to conduct specific investigation and research, but when I

When I learned about the special existence of the evil god Ranedal, I suddenly thought of this incident.

Ranedal exists, but it is difficult to feel it, even if he is standing next to you.

Even though Dis sensed him, he was unable to hurt him. In order to try an extreme method, Dis even tried using the soul flame, but still failed to touch him. Instead, he accidentally burned himself.

But in the end, Dis caught him and held him, and I even sealed him into Kevin's body myself.

Because its state of existence has changed, it's like the change of a raw egg after being cooked. You can't pick up the egg liquid with a fork, but you can easily catch the cooked egg.

It's a pity, I'm about to die. Oh no, I'm already dead, so this topic can only continue to be shelved. Of course, Karen, if you hear about related things in the future, you can try to help me continue research on this topic.

…

Karen recalled the contents of the note in his mind and took a deep breath.

Therefore, this "12th person" is likely to kill someone.

Although I don't know when and how he will choose to take action, he is definitely not a harmless spectator.

In Mr. Hoffen's guess, this "extra person" was very similar to Ranedal's state at that time, which means that his dog may have some knowledge of this aspect.

It's a pity... I didn't bring the dog with me.

The Evil God is very useful, because the Evil God represents "wisdom", but in most cases, if you take a golden retriever on an adventure, if you encounter any danger, the pet is likely to die suddenly.

But the current problem must be solved as soon as possible.

"Captain, the detection results are out. There are no special energy fluctuations here." Mashui reported.

Murry guessed: "Captain, could this be due to the environment here or the function of a special device, which has caused some deviations in our collective cognition? For example, we may subconsciously think that there is an extra person.

, this extra person does not actually exist, but our cognition has been modified invisibly?"

Alfred spoke first: "No, if it is a collective cognitive modification, then the list we wrote on the paper should also have 12 people, not 11 people, because there is no reason to only modify the number of people when we counted.

, don’t change it all on the paper, after all, you said it has the ability to modify cognition.”

Karen said: "Alfred is right, we cannot ignore it as a natural phenomenon. I now feel that it may be very dangerous."

Mu Li nodded and said: "Yes, captain."

Karen raised his hand and ordered Maas and Memphis: "Deploy a defensive formation."

Immediately, Karen said to the others: "Everyone is on alert!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Karen found a place to sit down. He counted three times and there were still 12 people.

Others are also counting when doing things, and the results are the same.

In this situation, Karen began to think about how to break the situation. No matter what, the thing must be found.

How did Dis capture Ranedal in the first place?

Karen's hand silently placed on his chest. When Dis opened a hole in his chest, when Ranedal was about to enter his body to rob him, he was directly pulled by Dis through the hole.

But the problem is that I am not Dis. Dis can achieve this goal in this way, but I can't do it at all, and I can't even understand it.

The formation was set up, and the perimeter, second and inner circles were also guarded, but everyone was very uneasy.

This feeling is like when you are lying on your side in bed and sleeping, and the sound of human breathing comes from the back of your head.

Alfred walked over and said to Karen: "Master, I am going to use my own way to investigate again."

"Well, yes, in addition, you can summarize other people's ideas and try them in an orderly manner."

"Yes, Master."

Watching Alfred walking away, Karen decided to try to contact the outside world.

He first casually arranged a simple shielding barrier for himself. When everyone saw what the captain meant, they immediately turned their attention.

Then, Karen began to activate his symbiotic contract relationship, and soon, Pu'er's figure appeared behind Karen.

At first, Pu'er had his eyes closed, but soon, Pu'er must have gotten the response and started to respond. Pu'er behind Karen slowly opened his eyes.

"Karen, what happened?" Pu'er spoke very quickly, because this kind of "communication" consumes a lot of energy. Karen can afford it, but it can't do it yet.

Karen spoke quickly: "I encountered difficulties deep in the tomb. The 11 people in the team turned out to be 12 during the roll call. Mr. Hofen recorded similar things in his notes, and Kevin existed at that time.

The status has been compared, and now I need to find this extra person, otherwise I can't continue to rob the tomb, and it will probably kill someone."

"Isn't that the evil...its exclusive state? We all thought so before, oh, so that's not the exclusive state, but a special ability of the stupid dog himself?"

"I think so. Can you contact Kevin now?"

"It's really no problem. Aceros inherited his father's inheritance. The mezzanine in his belly also contains the communication altar that I placed in his father's belly and other things. They are well maintained. I can repair them and use them. Here

There are still a small amount of crystals that can be used as energy. I can try to contact the communication circle at home here and talk to the stupid dog.

That’s it, I’ll cut it off first, I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep.”

"good."

Pu'er's figure closed its eyes, Karen exhaled, and Pu'er's figure disappeared.

Immediately, Karen laughed again. Does this mean he is seeking an off-site connection?

In fact, when he first contacted Pu'er, Karen had a fluke and wanted to get some experience and advice directly from Pu'er, but now Pu'er can actually contact Kevin from Aceros' belly, which is great.

Alas, next time I’d better bring all the cats and dogs at home.

Karen sighed. In fact, he still has one choice now, which is to return immediately, evacuate this tomb, return to the body of Aceros, land again, go to that town to have a good rest, and talk to Kevin on the phone again.

Have a good chat on the phone.

For the safety of himself and his team members, Karen is willing to temporarily stop this tomb robbing operation. Anyway, besides the reward of 3000 order coupons, he has no other big costs. The intelligence money was given by the captain.

The most important thing is that the Kangjies family has passed away. Even if he leaves first, this ancient tomb will still lie quietly on the seabed.

Just as you came in easily this time, you will be able to come in easily next time. No one will come to visit the tomb or readjust these mechanisms. You can retreat temporarily.

But what Karen is most worried about is that the extra "12th person" has not taken action. He is afraid that when he is about to retreat, he will provoke that thing to kill immediately.

Think about it for a moment, if you were that thing, you would never see a living person here for a hundred years, and how excited you would be to suddenly see a group of living people, you would definitely be extremely happy.

Maybe, that thing is currently surrounding everyone, and they are reluctant to kill it so quickly, and want to see it for a while, feel it for a while, and play with it for a while.

Once it senses that these people are leaving, it won't hesitate anymore.

Under the current circumstances, Karen hopes to spend more time with "that person".

…

"What are you doing?" Memphis saw Richard scratching the paper with a pen.

"Memphis, I feel like it's playing tricks on us," Richard replied.

"That's obvious."

"Actually, there is another way." Richard pointed with the pen at the list on the paper in front of him.

"What can I do?"

"Karen... the captain just asked us to draw our respective positions. In fact, he can also let us report our numbers on this basis. There are 11 of us, and we finally reported the number of 12. Then in this list, there must be

There are numbers between two adjacent people, and the interval is 2.

And between these two people, that thing is probably where it should be."

Memphis looked at Richard in surprise.

"Hehe." Richard smiled sheepishly, "Don't look at me with such admiration."

Memphis shook his head and said, "You don't understand it at all."

"Um?"

"It is not playing handkerchief games with us, nor is it standing between two people and shouting to count. When we can't see it or it is in this hidden state, our perception of it and its

Compared to our existence, we are not a person... Do you understand?"

"It's a bit... profound. Please explain it later."

Memphis continued: "It is not a transparent person standing among us. Don't imagine it to be so simple, understand?"
To be continued...
