036 If a Person Does Not Harm Himself, the Harm Will Be Real

"Thirty-six Stratagems?" Leia looked at Gu Mengmeng in confusion.

Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, "Remember? You told me that half of the secrets of the Snow Fox Tribe can only be learned by the leader, and the other half can only be learned by the witch doctor."

Leia nodded to show that she remembered.

Gu Mengmeng continued, "The deduction techniques you know are not from our world. I think they were probably taught by the Beast God to the previous messenger, and then taught by the previous messenger to the witch doctor, and then passed down from generation to generation. But the secrets that the leaders recited are very likely the product of our era."

Leia looked at Gu Mengmeng, then looked at the stone tablet engraved with unfamiliar symbols, and said, "Is this "Thirty-six Stratagems" one of them?"

Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, "I suspect Ke'e will recite this "Thirty-six Stratagems"."

Leia: "Did the Beast God tell you?"

Gu Mengmeng: "No, I guessed."

Leia did not ask further, but just looked at Gu Mengmeng quietly.

Gu Mengmeng walked to the second stone tablet, stroked a line of words, and slowly read: "The 34th strategy, the strategy of inflicting pain on oneself. If a person does not harm himself, the victim must be real; false and true, true and false, it will work. The good fortune of a child is to be obedient and flexible."

The five males in the room all looked confused, and even Leia did not understand what Gu Mengmeng was talking about.

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and continued, "This is a strategy from the Thirty-Six Stratagems. I've read it before, but I didn't remember it. But since I integrated the ability of Sneiqi, the things I've read before have become very clear for some reason. It feels like... photographic memory."

When Gu Mengmeng mentioned Sneiqi, Elvis and Leia became nervous, especially afraid that she would fall into that kind of negative calmness and couldn't get out of it. So Leia pulled Gu Mengmeng's little hand and asked sincerely, "So what does it mean? What does it have to do with Ke'e?"

Gu Mengmeng: "Do you remember when Ke'e tricked me to Soder, in order to gain my trust, he injured himself and created the illusion of rescuing Chi Xuan?"

Lea nodded, indicating that she remembered.

Gu Mengmeng: "His injuries were so severe that they almost cost him his life. It's no exaggeration to say that his internal organs were exposed in front of me. If you hadn't asked Dylan to contact me in advance, I think even if I had doubts in my heart, I would have believed that he was a good person at that time. Now I think it was just a self-torture trick."

Lea thought about it and said, "If a person doesn't hurt himself, then the harm must be real?"

Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, "That's what I mean."

Lea frowned and said, "Then the injuries on Berg's body when he came to seek refuge were also a self-torture trick?"

Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, "Those injuries were not caused by Berg on purpose. They should have been caused by stray beasts attacking the tribe."

Lea was silent After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Mengmeng, I always feel that this Berg is not simple."

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, "Ke'e would not go to great lengths to send a useless person. There must be a trick behind it."

Lea: "I think so too. Ke'e is a stray beast now. Would he be kind enough to help a strange small tribe drive away stray beasts? Haha, it's not his style. If he organized the stray beasts to attack Berg's tribe, I would believe it more."

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and slowly walked to another line of words. She read aloud while her finger gently slid across it: "The tenth strategy, smiling with a knife hidden in the heart. Trust and be at ease, secretly plan; prepare before taking action, and don't let it change. It is hard inside and soft outside."
