Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

To everyone's expectation, Germain claimed that he could not get any answers from the listed timeline, leaving everyone to do their own thing.

Everyone had doubts, but they had to disperse first.

Centered around the campfire, they moved in their own orbits like planets.

Germain bypassed the bonfire and came to a big tree where light and shadow alternated between dusk and darkness, and saw Xiaodi squatting there.

Xiaodi hugged her knees with both hands, raised her head, and glanced at Germain expressionlessly.

Germain could tell that she was not feeling well and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." Xiaodi hesitated for a long time, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and said, "Do we really have four "fake people" here? "

"Yes, you just heard our analysis. I didn't bring more than three people to the rainforest swamp, but there are eight people here. There must be something wrong."

Germain looked at Xiao Didi suspiciously and asked, "Do you have any clues?"

Xiaodi shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Do you think it's possible that I am one of the "fake people"? "

Um?

When Germain heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He really didn't expect anyone to doubt his existence, but considering that this person was Xiaodi, it did make sense.

"Why do you think so?"

"Think about it, don't I have a bad memory? Everyone often laughs at me for this..."

Xiaodi tapped her own head lightly with her fist and said.

"Perhaps, I am the "fake person" who sneaked in, but I forgot about it... It was me, I can indeed do such a thing, right? "

She usually doesn't admit it, but occasionally she is quite self-aware.

Germain couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Xiaodi, you are not a "hypocritical person." "

Xiaodi stared at him with wide eyes, as if she heard something incredible, and asked:

"Are you telling the truth? How can you be sure? Why?"

She asked a series of questions.

German explained:

"After listing the timeline just now, I actually understood the rules of the "Twin-tailed Snake Hell Ringer" ability to read after death. "

"I do not understand."

Xiaodi shook her head.

Germain explained step by step.

"It actually has more convenient methods that will never reveal flaws in the timeline. For example, it can directly replace someone among us, or replace someone in our memory."

"But it didn't, which proves that it either doesn't want to do it or can't do it."

"The former means that they have the leeway to be 'completely hypnotized', but they just deliberately expose their flaws for us to fight."

"But this method is not necessary at all. It has the ability to directly hypnotize us to kill each other."

"So I lean towards the latter, 'It can't be done'."

"I noticed that the number of "false people" slowly increased. When I realized something was wrong, there were still seven people, and then it became eight. "

"In other words, they are like nails that pierce into your flesh, causing you to bleed, pus to ooze, and the wound gradually becomes infected."

"The way they modify cognition and reality is that they are inserted into our memory and continue to eat away at reality."

"Directly replacing someone is something they can't do, at least not right now."

"In this way, if you want to know who the "real person" is, you only need to grasp one point. "

"That is a role that is absolutely indispensable in the timeline just like me. Without this role, things after the timeline cannot progress at all."

Xiaodi's eyes went blank when he heard it halfway. Regardless of whether he understood it or not, he nodded resignedly and admitted that what Germain said was right.

Anyway, just trust Germain.

Germain continued:

"Your telekinesis ability "Protruding Eye Fish" is second only to me in its important role in the exploration of the Dark Continent. "

"There is no second person here who has the ability to replace you, so you must be real."

"If you're not real, then you're undermining the premise that I'm real."

Xiaodi rolled her big eyes, licked her lips, and said:

"Anyway, I'm a "real person", that's it, right? "

"right."

At this time, someone suddenly spoke from behind the tree, and then a figure turned around, startling Xiaodi.

Xiaodi turned around and saw Jin with a big beard.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Germain, with a look in her eyes that suggested that if Jin overheard their conversation, she should kill him or silence him.

Germain understood her look and waved his hand.

Jin pouted and explained:

"I am a "real person" just like you, and the reason is the same - irreplaceability. "

"Without me, you would have no way to connect with Greed Island, nor would you be able to obtain logistical support from Greed Island."

"They can imitate the Greed Island cards and imitate some of the card's abilities, but they do not completely weave the most direct relationship with the Greed Island."

"After all, they are just a group of monsters living in the dark continent, using our memories to understand humans."

"They never expected that after encountering this kind of situation, we would be so calm and not doubt each other or kill each other as soon as we got up, so there were many omissions in the memory modification."

"Besides that, the extent to which they can modify memory is also limited."

"Most of their encounters with us on the timeline occurred between the end of 1997 and the present, and the rest is extremely blurry."

"If you give them more time, they should be able to do better, right?"

When Jin said this, his tone was a little regretful, as if he wanted to see that situation.

"In short, after Germain realized this, he dispersed the gathering just now and quietly found me. After explaining the situation, he came to you again."

"The reason why we are so cautious is because we still have a companion. Among the remaining five people, we are still not sure which one is our companion."

"It's best to keep this part of our knowledge secret until he or she is found."

Xiaodi covered her mouth when she heard the words "be cautious" and "tight-mouthed."

Then she looked left and right with clear black and white eyes, as if she was afraid that her breathing too loud would expose the situation here.

Germain said:

"Just be more natural."

So Xiaodi let go of his hands, blinked his big eyes, and asked in a low voice:

"How can we find our last companion?"

Germain said:

"In fact, we already have a goal, but we are not sure yet. The reason is also irreplaceable."

"I am irreplaceable because of the "Teleportation Lantern", Xiaodi you are irreplaceable because of the "Outgoing Eyed Fish", and Jin is irreplaceable because of the "Island of Greed". "

"What else is irreplaceable? That is of course the ability to allow the team to continue fighting..."

“Initially I was wavering between “de-stressing” and “healing,” but considering my many experiences of “virtue and torture,” I finally decided that “de-stressing” was indispensable. "

"In this team, Leonard and Bisgi both have the ability to "relieve stress", and the last companion should be among them. "

"It's just that both of them have been in the team for a long time, and there are no obvious flaws in their memories. It's hard to tell which one of them is the real person."

Xiaodi asked:

"Then what should we do now? Call the two of them over and ask them about it?"

"It's okay," Germain said. "Call them over first. Even if you can't tell the truth from the lies for a while, it doesn't matter."

At this time, Xiaodi was keenly aware of what Germain wanted to do:

"I understand, we're going to target someone other than them, right?"

Germain nodded and said:

"That's right...their number is gradually increasing, and we can't wait any longer."

"Otherwise, when the sun rises, there will probably be a bunch of people here. The situation will be more complicated by then, and cognition and reality will be modified even more by them."

Germain turned to King and said:

"I'll ask you to keep an eye on Leonard and Bisgi later to see if you can find out the "fake people." Xiaodi and I will clean up the remaining ones. "

"Okay, don't worry, leave it to me."

Kim replied.

Xiaodi was eager to try.

When the three of them were about to make the next move, they heard an explosion not far away, and then saw a burst of dust flying, and a big tree collapsed.

A conflict that has been brewing for a long time has now erupted.

Those who hate each other are "Barbarian Warrior" Hart and "Shield Breaker" Sigman.

The two women fought with long-handled knives and spears for a moment, and then separated on the left and right.

"Crusader" Leonard and "Gem Hunter" Bisgi quickly stopped in the middle and tried to persuade them not to fight among themselves.

"The Cursed One" Dubisk stood coldly in the shadows, saying nothing, with no intention of helping anyone.

"She must be a bastard who got in!"

Hart pointed at Sigman and cursed emotionally.

"Her telekinesis ability is related to snakes. "Twin-tailed Snake Hell's Ringer" is also a snake. How can there be such a coincidence? "

Sigman stared at Hart indifferently and said:

"You said before that I was going crazy, but now it seems that you are the one who is going crazy, right?"

The two women were at war with each other, their thoughts colliding, and the weapons in their hands were all ready to be pointed at each other.

"Don't do this!" Leonard shouted, "Don't fight anymore!"

He noticed the approach of Germain, Jin and Xiaodi behind him, quickly turned around and said:

"Germain, can you say something to stop them? "Twin-tailed Snake Hell Ringer" must be hoping that we attack each other like this! We can't fall for it! "

Germain, Jin, and Xiaodi each looked at each other and nodded, but what they were thinking about was something else.

According to the previous elimination methods, both Hart and Sigman must be "fake people" who have sneaked in.

They are making such a fuss in front of everyone and showing hostility to each other. Are they planning to play a double act and split the entire team into two factions?

After thinking about it this way, Germain no longer planned to explain anything to Leonard and Bisgi. He wanted to act at his own pace.

So, he directly patted Xiaodi's arm and whispered:

"Contain one of them first, I will help you later."

Xiaodi nodded in agreement.

Then, the two separated, with German walking towards Hart and Xiaodi walking towards Sigman.

Hart thought that Germain was here to break up the fight, and said with a vicious look on his face:

"Germain, you don't have to say anything. I will never trust this woman..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a click, and her hands holding long-handled knives flew up in her field of vision.

Then, the vision in her head was spinning!

In an instant, only half of Hart was left, standing on the same spot, blood gushing into the sky!

But Germain just looked down with cold eyes, holding the meat saw knife still dripping with blood in his hand.

Until her death, she never expected that Germain would suddenly get angry and chop her!

In fact, no one except Jin and Xiaodi expected this.

Leonard and Bisgi were both shocked, their throats were itchy and they couldn't say a word.

Then, they took a step towards Hart's body together, but suddenly felt their shoulders sinking.

The two of them looked back and saw that Jin was already between them, reaching out to hold their shoulders.

"Don't move, just watch quietly, and don't do anything suspicious."

"Trust us, it's good for you both."

Leonard and Bisgi soon realized that they were being threatened.

The two were a little angry, and when they were about to say something, they saw Jin pouting in the direction of Hart's body.

"See for yourselves."

The two of them turned around to look, and saw that the half of the corpse that had remained standing finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

Hart's face was full of disbelief and horror.

Germain stood aside holding the bloody meat saw knife.

This mutilated body suddenly emitted black smoke as if it was burning, and soon her body, clothes, weapons, etc. disappeared one after another.

Also disappearing with it is the knowledge that Hart is his companion, and the related modified reality.

After a daze, Germain and others recalled and confirmed that Hart was indeed not one of them.

Almost everyone had the same idea:

Why did we trust Hart so much before that he was one of us? It's obviously full of flaws...

It seems that this is the influence of the "champion-level strange demon" behind "Twin-tailed Snake·Hell's Ringtone" and the terrain of the entire rainforest.

Germain turned around, first observed the expressions on the faces of Leonard and Bisgi, and then looked at Jin.

Then, he quickly walked to the battlefield on the other side.

Sigman was also shocked by Germain's sudden attack, so that she did not react immediately to Xiaodi's approach.

When she came back to her senses, the shield clasped with the severed limb had been sucked into Xiaodi's "bulging-eyed fish" and was thrown to the ground by Xiaodi.

Xiaodi said to her a little proudly:

"You are fake, I am real."

"Huh? Xiaodi, you..."

Sigman was shocked for a moment and tried to save something, but he noticed that Germain was already walking towards him with a meat saw knife.

"You can't do this. I, I am your companion, have you forgotten? Do you think those memories of us fighting side by side are all false?"

At this time, she could no longer maintain her previously taciturn persona.

German remained unmoved, walked quickly, suddenly transformed into a flash, and broke through in front of Sigman with lightning speed.

"Don't!"

Sigman's spear only had time to lift up a little before he was chopped into his neck by the saw knife, and his head was separated in an instant!

That chocolate-colored face was immediately filled with resentment.

A snake transformed from thought energy shot out from her severed limb and bit Germain quickly.

Germain calmly dodged sideways, and with another casual knife, he cut Sigman's severed limb in two!

Amidst the splattering blood arrows, Sigman fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, black smoke rose up like burning plastic.

Germain turned to look at Dubisk not far away.

Dubisk cursed in a low voice, seeming to realize that the explanation was meaningless, so his body immediately swelled with flesh, turned into a tall werewolf, turned around and ran away!

The werewolf stood on all fours and was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it shot out like an arrow, running back and forth between the branches of the tree to dozens of meters away.

It still has a chance, even if it doesn't stay with Germain and others, it can continue to reproduce "false people", but it will take longer and have more flaws...

However, at least it is alive, and staying alive can preserve its lifespan.

However, the next moment, the sound of chasing people from behind broke through the air.

It turned its head in horror, and was met with a sharp thorn, directly hitting its head!

With a snap, the headless werewolf rolled down from the branches and fell into the mud. After a while, his body also burned.

Germain put away the threaded cane that had been transformed and stretched out, turned around and walked back to the bonfire camp.

At this time, there were only five people left in front of him, including himself.

Hart's entire body had been burned, but half of Sigman was still alive.

"The memories have all been corrected, right?"

Germain looked at everyone, and everyone nodded.

"That's good."

As he spoke, he walked up to Leonard and Bisgi.

Both men became nervous because they realized that Germain was going to find the last "fake" among them.

If you are caught, you will definitely end up like Hart, Sigman, and Dubisk!

Germain's body was originally covered in the blood of Hart, Sigman, and Dubisk, but as they died, the blood also turned into black gas and evaporated.

He first explained the basis for judging "irreplaceability" and pointed out that he, Xiaodi and Jin were all real people.

Then there is another real person, between Leonard and Bisji.

Leonard and Bisji looked at each other with ugly faces.

Emotionally, they both have the memory of being companions, but rationally, one of them must be fake.

Both of them know who is the fake one, but how should they defend themselves and make Germain believe it?

Leonard was the first to speak:

"Germain, Jin, Xiaodi, think carefully about how I stood at the forefront to protect you before, and I will do it for you after the battle..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a strong wind coming from beside him.

Leonard quickly swung his straight sword to block, but was directly pushed away by a whole soft force, and then a strong fist blew in his face!

"Bisji?!"

Leonard was shocked by the sudden attack on him by the person next to him!

Bisji did not give any explanation and attacked Leonard with murderous intent. This was her way of proving herself!

Only "fake people" will continue to fish in troubled waters.

"Real people" are not only indispensable to the team, but also have no fear of death.
