Chapter 31 Guessing. Identity. Clues

After the crisp sound, the voice in Jason's mind completely stopped.

No screams.

There is no resistance whatsoever.

It is delicious.

The outer skin is as crisp as a sugar pancake, and then, the filling inside is like salted butter.

When entering the mouth, it is first crispy and then sticky.

And at this moment, when the thick salted cream wraps the crispy skin in reverse, it immediately has a different taste.

It is a feeling of 1+1>2.

Not to mention that the most core position has a hint of coolness.

It looks like a tiny piece of ice.

But it tasted more like ice cream.

The outer skin is crispy and has a greasy feel. Although the salted butter in the center neutralizes part of the greasy sense, there is still a trace of greasy left. This residual greasy sense is mixed with the sticky taste, which is more and more prominent.

But with the appearance of this coolness, this abrupt part disappeared.

Everything is perfect!

More importantly, there are two layers of taste, and another layer is correct.

Between the crunch and the crunch, Jason squinted his eyes comfortably.

【Devouring the Core of Bewitching (Incomplete)】

[Physical strength, energy, and injuries have been greatly restored! 】

[Satisfaction +35]

[Satisfaction: 263]

...

The text arrived as promised.

"The core of bewitching?"

Jason stared at the name for a moment.

He thought that prefixes or descriptions like 'memory' and 'burning' would appear,

But there is only the word "bewitching".

"Everything is deception?"

Jason thought, then shook his head.

A clever lie is nothing more than nine true and one false.

Judging from the importance attached to this 'secret technique' by the 'Iron Banner Martial Arts Hall' at that time, the opponent was indeed a kind of secret technique, at least in the eyes of the 'Iron Banner Martial Arts Hall', it was a secret technique.

What if, from the beginning, the Iron Banner Martial Arts Academy was wrong?

What if it was all fake in the first place?

How can there be nine true and one false!

Totally false and true!

Everything is made up for you to see!

Jason, who has been supplemented by invisible brains several times, naturally thought of this.

Then, a problem arose.

How did the so-called 'nucleus of bewitching' appear?

Is it made by people?

Or a 'natural' product?

Or from... those places?

Those places are not only independent from the whole world, but also integrated in a certain part of the world. There are some things that are difficult to describe in words and difficult to see clearly, but as long as you find the right 'method', you will hear it from time to time. The existence of whispers.

In the previous dungeon world, there was such a 'weird'.

Will the dungeon world in front of you be an exception?

The answer is, most likely not.

Then, Jason focused on the description of 'incomplete' in [The Core of Bewitching (Incomplete)].

Why is it 'disabled'?

According to his experience of 'preparing food', such 'defect' can only appear in one situation: fighting!

Such a description of "defective" occurs only after part of the "food" is damaged during the battle.

Taking this as a point, a general process emerged in Jason's mind——

'In a long time ago, a fighter in the Iron Banner Martial Arts Hall encountered the body of [The Core of Bewitchment], fought a battle, and then obtained the [Core of Bewitchment (Incomplete)], and then was attacked by the [Core of Bewitchment (Incomplete)]. Incomplete)] some astonishing things happened to the 'bewitched', which was misunderstood by the people at the time, and the fighter 'awakened' at the last moment of his life and sealed the [nucleus of delusion (incomplete)], but Perhaps it was the end of his life, his sanity was also affected by the [Nucle of Bewitching (Incomplete)], the words became unclear, or the later generations 'understood' wrong, which caused the current situation. ’

Of course, this is just Jason's guess.

Likely, there are other things.

But, that's not what Jason cares about.

In fact, if it wasn't for [The Bewitching Core (Incomplete)] being delicious enough, he wouldn't even think about it.

Of course, the more important point is: Is there any more 'food' similar to [The Core of Bewitching].

There is one, there are two.

This is what Jason thinks.

Since there is a [Nucle of Bewitching], there should be a second one.

Although the "Martial Arts Alliance" was destroyed, Jason believed that there should be a similar organization in the F area.

If none of these?

Don't forget, the biggest force in the dungeon world in front of you: the Hundred Great Families.

Other organizations may not.

But as the masters of this world, the Hundred Great Families must have something similar.

Thinking of this, Jason began to quickly clean the battlefield.

Nothing worth noting.

The apartment of the 'heart digger' is very similar to the apartment where he lives.

Except for the necessary items of life, there is no utensils for enjoyment, and it is completely an 'ascetic' attitude.

"If it wasn't for an accident, Todd would be a real fighter, right?"

Jason thought like this, and he took a step and thought about going upstairs.

Jason has sympathy for the experience of the 'heart digger'.

A person who is regarded as a 'chess piece' but does not know it and thinks that he has everything is worthy of sympathy.

What betrayal? What revenge?

Such a play, Jason only saw it not long ago.

On the body of ‘Golden Lamb’ Karen.

'Heartbreaker' Todd?

It's just more hidden.

In other words, the means are more sophisticated.

and,

It was not noticed by the 'behind-the-scenes planner'.

Otherwise, an alliance that has existed for a very long time and has a close relationship, if there is no provocation, how can it turn the gun on its own people?

How is it possible to leave behind the most powerful 'Avengers' who have stepped into madness?

Normal people don't do that.

It could only be arranged by someone.

Make everything seem 'coincidence' and become 'reasonable'.

Although there is no 100% certainty, Jason is at least 60% certain that what happened to Todd the Heartbreaker is related to one of the several controlling families in District F.

As for which?

Jason is not clear for the time being.

tread!

Suddenly, Jason's footsteps stopped.

"Golden Lamb" Karen is like this.

Todd the Heartbreaker is like that.

Will the 'behind-the-scenes planner' do the same?

A guy who 'sees through' the 'screening plans' of several controlling families in District F and starts to take revenge like crazy?

possible!

However, it is not easy to get rid of the identity of the 'masochist'!

Not to mention the layout after breaking away from the identity of the 'masochist'.

Because, according to the rules of the 'game', if you want to leave the 'game' as a 'masochist', you can only be the champion of the 'game' finals!

Moreover, even if they have won the "Championship" and are out of the "game", they still need to be closely supervised in real life.

Therefore, it is very difficult!

so……

'Survivor'!

Jason's eyes narrowed slightly.

Compared with the 'Murderer', the 'Survivor' is much more forgiving.

Even showing a horrifying side in 'the game' is generously forgiven.

After all, it's just a 'game', isn't it?

Of course, there is another possibility!

Relatives of the 'Murderer'!

An innocent who was framed as a 'masochist' died in the 'game', as a relative to avenge his own relatives, and thus launched a series of actions.

Compared with the first two guesses, the third Jason is more recognized.

But what exactly?

Jason didn't jump to conclusions.

Everything depends on the subsequent development.

He believes that more information will be forthcoming.

In fact, the information came out faster than Jason expected.

The top floor of the 'Game Building', the conference hall.

Jason saw the bodies of Donna and Waiters.

The two represent the 'Hera Family' and the 'Emel Family'. Jason knows it. In the introduction of some related materials before, some basic information of the two people was made public.

However, compared with the well-dressed ones on the public information, the two of them at the moment are no different from ordinary people.

To die is to die.

And, more and more embarrassed.

Especially Donna!

In the information photo, the other party is a graceful lady, and even photos can show the beauty and elegance of the other party.

Although more often, the other party will wear a veil.

Waiters, on the other hand, has always been known for being reliable.

The other party's strong body and taciturn personality make people willing to trust each other.

It's a pity that now it is scarred and has no breath of life.

And Rodney, who was supposed to be here, the elderly man was not here.

Undoubtedly, the other party should be the 'collaborator' of the 'behind-the-scenes planner'.

At least, Rodney should think so.

But in fact?

Still a pawn.

It's just a higher level.

And the result?

Nature is already doomed.

Lothar 11 is no fool and knows what to do.

Jason's eyes swept across the conference hall on the top of the building, and then landed on the body of Ms. Donna again.

Not because the other party lost his head.

Not because the other party is a woman.

But because the other party has a faint smell of 'food' that is about to overflow.

Moreover, this 'food' aura was exactly the same as the residual 'food' aura on the uninvited guests he had seen before.

At the same time, there is nothing in Waiters!

Immediately, Jason examined the bodies of Donna and Waiters.

With the perception of normality that is seven times higher than that of ordinary people, and based on the viscosity of the blood, Jason can easily judge that Donna died earlier than Wites.

Donna died first.

Waiters then died.

Rodney was used as a pawn to shoot at Lothar 11, and it was basically determined that he would die, even if he had certain means.

Among them, Donna should have been in close contact with the 'behind the scenes'.

"Interesting!"

A strange light flashed in Jason's narrowed eyes.

There was a suspicion in his heart.

And at this time-

"Your Excellency Jason? Your Excellency Jason, can you hear me?"

Lothar 11's voice echoed in the room.

The sound came from some hidden speaker, and Jason looked up, his eyes locked there.

Such an obvious action made Lothar 11, who was checking everything through the monitor, heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, the eleventh heir to the Lothar family began to speak as calmly as possible.

"Your Excellency Jason, thank you for everything you have done for me. What I promised will be effective."

"Also, the family guard will soon arrive at the 'Game Building'."

"Please return to your 'Mastro's Apartment'."

"Thank you again for everything you've done for me."

After saying this, Lothar 11 turned off the speaker.

However, his eyes were still fixed on Jason.

Although it wasn't a direct gaze, Jason still felt something.

He glanced at the surveillance probe calmly, then walked to the window of the conference hall and looked down.

Under the night, the whole city did not fall into darkness.

The colorful neon is beautifully separated.

The traffic flowed endlessly, bringing up the light strips that looked like brilliance.

This is the first time Jason has looked at the dungeon world in front of him, except for the scenery outside the 'game'.

Very nice night view!

Jason commented in his heart.

At the same time, he also has an accurate understanding of the technological level of the dungeon world in front of him.

It is to go beyond the copy world he has experienced before,

At least, the cars here can levitate out of thin air.

Of course, a team coming from a distance made Jason realize the level of technology here.

The armored shell, the huge muzzle, the muzzle that spirals like an electric coil.

This is the family guard in the mouth of Lothar 11.

Seeing this, Jason turned around and left.

Lothar 11's reminder could not have been more obvious.

The other party doesn't want to make any irrational actions.

This is what it means on the surface.

secretly?

It is to tell him that the other party has already understood the next step of the 'behind-the-scenes planner'.

Signal that he doesn't need to worry.

It is safe to return.

In this regard, Jason did not have any objection, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Under the condition that the main quest remains unchanged, his identity as a 'masochist' will not change, not given by others, but by his own will.

If he wants, he will approve.

No one can force it on him if he doesn't want it.

Even now, I can't resist.

He will also continue his strength silently, waiting for a counterattack.

It was like that in 'The City That Never Sleeps'.

Here, too.

Involuntarily, Jason glanced at his main quest.

The same is true for 'notebook'.

Silently, Jason added in his heart.

On the 4th floor, in the 'Contact' apartment, Lothar 11 looked at Jason who was walking down the stairs without any abnormal or excessive behavior. The eleventh heir to the Lothar family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As Lothar 11, he didn't want his friends who had just been "fighting side by side" to meet directly by sword at this moment.

Moreover, there is still no chance of meeting with swords.

He knows the strength of his family guard.

And he is even more aware of the methods of his father, eldest brother, and other brothers and sisters.

Jason didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

Fortunately, Jason didn't make the wrong choice.

He also understood his hidden meaning.

After noticing Jason's unchanging eyes, Lothar 11 was sure, and Jason understood his hidden meaning.

Does the big man have great wisdom?

Lothar 11 looked at Jason who was slowly returning, and couldn't help thinking.

And at this moment-

jingle!

Lothar 11's communicator rang.

Looking at the series of ※ on the communicator, Lothar 11 breathed a sigh of relief.

coming!

Lothar 11 had expected this call.

Although I haven't seen the 'behind-the-scenes planner', but the other party has arranged such a big game and wants to reap his life, how could he not listen to his 'despair' at the last moment?

In particular, despair after seeing hope?

The other party is probably impatient, right?

Thinking in the bottom of my heart, a look of surprise appeared on Lothar 11's face.

When the phone rang three more times, he answered the phone.

"Hey?"
