Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

"Bai Jin, can you tell that the words on this stone tablet were written by the same person?" Lan Zhirou, who had not found the problem yet and pondered for a long time, asked in her mind.

As a series of voices similar to "Scanning and copying text content" and "Analyzing text data" sounded in Lan Zhirou's mind, after a few minutes, Bai Jin finally gave her answer.

"It cannot be clearly concluded. According to the analysis, the carver's flat knife mastering habits and carving techniques are more than 99% consistent, but..."

Lan Zhirou felt a little disappointed when she heard the first half of Bai Jin's words. It seemed that her analysis was wrong.

But the word "but" was very problematic. She immediately listened to Bai Jin's report attentively.

"Although the carver's habits and carving techniques are almost exactly the same, as Zhirou thought, the second half was added because when carving this sentence, the carver's strength was slightly lighter, and the carving knife The pattern that penetrates the stone is not as deep as before, which is a very slight error, but it can still be detected by scanning."

"The Red Moon is real, and Bai Jin thinks so too, right." Lan Zhirou suddenly said for no reason.

"Huh? Why did Zhirou say that?" Faced with the sudden question, Bai Jin, who already had a human nature, looked very confused.

"I suddenly understood what the dungeon wanted this time. It was faith." Lan Zhirou looked at the stone tablet blankly. She finally knew what she felt was wrong at that time. It was the strange wording. , "Platinum, sincere respect, when would a person do this?"

"Are you facing the gods that humans believe in?" Bai Jin didn't understand what Lan Zhirou meant and answered in confusion.

"In the legend of the Moon Worship Cult, if you get the power of enough believers, you can transcend the mortal world and become a god. If this is a strange world, it is not impossible."

"There is not just one weird thing in Qingzhu Village, there may even be three. Choosing Qingzhu Mountain or Red Moon represents some kind of siding with each other. Qingzhu Mountain and Hongyue themselves are opposite existences. Once they become Believers of the Red Moon will become part of the weirdness itself."

“I don’t know why the strangeness of Qingzhu Mountain was born, but its original wish was obviously to protect every tourist who climbed the mountain. However, the tourists did not listen to the advice. During the mountaineering process, the tourists got deeper and deeper, unable to Going back down the mountain, 'Qingzhu Mountain', which originally protected tourists, also changed its mind. Instead of letting tourists become believers of the Red Moon, it is better to become its believers."

"In this way, it also has enough power to check and balance the red moon itself." Lan Zhirou ended her analysis with a long sigh.

"I have several guesses about the ending of reaching the top of the mountain."

"If you go by the original idea, the top of the mountain is obviously the territory of the Red Moon, and the employees are all from the Red Moon camp. The so-called employees who help you on the top of the mountain are just complete lies. Once you reach the top of the mountain, you will be immediately Pollution. The only hope of leaving Qingzhu Mountain can only be pinned on clues from Qingzhu Village."

"But after seeing the word 'ketchup' written in blood, I doubted that what the word said was true, so I re-judged the rules on the wooden sign and waited until I came to my senses again. When I came to see these things, I had a new guess. Those rules are true, but following the rules will not get you a truly good ending, unless you think that surviving is also a good ending..."

"Visiting the temple on the top of the mountain will indeed keep you alive, but the temple on the top of the mountain is dedicated to Qingzhu Mountain, or to a certain being in Qingzhu Mountain who is enough to fight against the Red Moon. If you worship it, you will naturally also You become a member of its believers, and you will never be able to leave here forever..."

"What changed my mind was precisely because I guessed that Qingzhu Mountain itself is also weird, so in the subsequent message, its message has changed to "May you be immortal and extraordinary. Join it and become a part of it." If it’s not human, it’s naturally otherworldly.”

"Life is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want. However, you cannot have both. Those who sacrifice their lives and pursue righteousness. Those who sacrifice their lives and pursue righteousness for the sake of the world will naturally be famous forever."

"But why does Zhirou think there is a third weird thing? If it is Qingzhu Mountain that checks and balances the red moon, then there are only two weird things, right?"

"...That crow can't become a god. It has neither divinity nor human heart." Lan Zhirou murmured in an inaudible voice again, "Before I read this paragraph, I had been guessing about that I finally understood the meaning of these words left by people. There is also a madman in this, and in the middle of the two strange fights, he wants to achieve godhood himself."

"That is also my third guess. The Red Moon cannot interfere too much with the real world itself. It is an existence similar to some kind of ancient god. At first, it gave something power beyond the mortal world, but that thing not only did not To obey it is to fight against it, and what is fighting against it is today's Qingzhu Mountain itself. The way to climb a mountain is actually a kind of pilgrimage process, whether it is the sound behind you, mental pollution, or physical exhaustion, They are all tests on the pilgrimage."

"Once you are unable to withstand these tests, you will only become its servant and you will never be able to leave again..."

"Then what if you can withstand its test?" Bai Jin asked curiously.

"Becoming a god...but not a god in the true sense." Lan Zhirou stared at the stone tablet and continued to explain softly. At some point, she suddenly remembered a sentence in the book about the Moon Worship Cult. talk.

[Step on it and transcend the path to becoming a god. 】

"After all, this false god cannot surpass Hong Yue itself. Just like Qingzhu Mountain, this 'god' was created by Hong Yue himself, allowing more people to believe in it, to fight against Qingzhu Mountain, which had already betrayed it. Yue cannot invade the real world on a large scale and can only counter Qingzhu Mountain by supporting puppets. If you want to become a god, you must naturally become a part of Red Moon."

"So the matter is partially solved? What kind of logic line does Zhirou plan to use to continue the journey?"

Lan Zhirou shook her head: "... Reasoning is just reasoning after all, but I can't plan the next journey based on this idea."

There seemed to be some loss in her eyes. She stared at the sky and continued: "I can't have a position. Once the detective has a position, he will get further and further away from the truth. This is a taboo in mystery novels. From the beginning From the beginning, I unilaterally reasoned through wooden signs and already went in a strange direction. Fortunately, I was still a person who wrote mystery novels before. Maybe the red moon is not weird, maybe Qingzhu Mountain is the weirdness itself, and the red moon is the savior. Maybe that crow is the same person as the curator, and he just wants to save mankind from this chaotic dispute. If he had chosen a side in advance, he would have made the wrong decision..."

"After all, even the issue of faith is just my guess. What if it's not the case at all..."
