Chapter 331

~10 min read 1,864 words

Weiss's strength was similar to that of another intern, the Sea Weasel Nero. If he fought Lord Lord Sima Di seriously, the latter might have to use all her abilities to take him down. But this Weiss not only underestimated this "old woman" but also fully enraged her. The "old woman's" combat power instantly doubled.

98 I Need Your Help

[Heart, I know about Bruce. Besides that thing, I need your help here.]

"Bruce should have given the USB drive to you... This is the contingency measure we agreed upon in an emergency." Murasaki Busho's gaze was somewhat dim, "I always thought we wouldn't use this PnB."

"You overcame the various traps I set in the game, escaped as a group, but ended up dying in this place... And it was Master Bruce... Tell me, what on earth is going on with you and Master Bruce? Why would Master Bruce get involved with those lunatics? And what exactly is in the USB drive?" Lord Lord Sima Di's face was sorrowful, urgently wanting to know the answer.

"You shouldn't have used their computer to check the contents of the USB drive, right?"

"Of course not, who knows what's in their computer, and whether it would destroy the USB drive. Even if I'm not proficient in computers, I know that much."

"That's good... follow me."

After Murasaki Busho finished speaking, he turned and ran toward the stairs going up.

Seeing this, Lord Lord Sima Di could only follow.

"Where to?"

"My room, there's a laptop there. That kid Gulna helped me assemble it; although the computer is crude, it's usable."

"Gulna is also with you? Where is he now? What on earth is going on with you three?"

"Just a coincidence, the three of us fell into the same location." Murasaki Busho looked left and right, and finding no one, he used his key to open the door in front of him, "...This is my room, because I'm an intern, it's only on the third floor... I hope their battle won't destroy this room."

Lord Lord Sima Di followed Murasaki Busho in and closed the door behind her.

"Can you say it now?"

"Revolutionary Army."

Murasaki Busho looked at Lord Lord Sima Di and spat out these three words.

"What? The location where you fell is..." Lord Lord Sima Di was stunned.

"Just a nearby island... Although the three of us are members of the Revolutionary Army, they don't know our specific identities yet. They invited us just because the three of us happened to join forces to solve a certain incident."

"A certain incident? I can imagine how unlucky the culprit of that incident was. Could it be that someone's painstaking murder plan, plotted for decades, was caught red-handed by you guys."

"Pretty much, it was just a serial 'stormy mountain villa' case, the scale was much larger than the story Master Bruce wrote... A very interesting trip." Murasaki Busho said.

Murasaki Busho was from the Neon Country, an international student who went to the Celestial Empire. He was the president of the Reasoning Club in high school, and later studied at a well-known university in the Celestial Empire, where he was also the vice president of the school's Reasoning Club. From this, his reasoning ability can be seen. Besides this, he was also proficient in some fighting techniques, and Murasaki Busho himself went to the Celestial Empire because he liked Celestial martial arts.

Bruce goes without saying, a master of reasoning.

And Gulna, who was the same age as Murasaki Busho, was a computer genius; although not yet mature, he was a small-time... hacker.

In other words, except for Cheng Yu, the smartest few among the thirteen were all gathered here, and coincidentally, all of them joined the Revolutionary Army.

"If you add Cheng Yu, your combination could be called invincible." Lord Lord Sima Di couldn't help but complain.

"There's no need for too many guys of the same type... and it's precisely because of this that Master Bruce and I were sent abroad. But now that such an incident has occurred, I think it's better to have more hands. We already know their whereabouts, and after the Enies Lobby incident ends, I will recruit the two of them into the Revolutionary Army."

Murasaki Busho took out a laptop from a fairly secret place in the room.

The laptop looked quite makeshift, but after turning it on, Lord Lord Sima Di felt that apart from not being able to play online games, the computer had all the functions.

"Do you know, besides liberating all the islands under Marine jurisdiction, the Revolutionary Army also has another goal: to track down the Spades and eliminate them... The three of us agreed to join the Revolutionary Army half because of this. What the Spades are doing is even more terrifying than we imagined, and some of the things... even you might not know."

Lord Lord Sima Di was silent and didn't answer.

Because what Murasaki Busho said was a fact; she knew a lot, but not everything about the Spades. And just the part she knew was already terrifying enough.

"USB drive." Murasaki Busho reached out.

Lord Lord Sima Di took out the USB drive, but only let Murasaki Busho take a look, then gripped it tightly in her palm without handing it to him...

"Although what you said is very right, you still have to tell me, what is in this USB drive? Why would Master Bruce risk his life to get it? And... are you guys so confident in handing the USB drive to me?"

Hearing these words, Murasaki Busho smiled.

Although he was a slightly ruffian kid, he smiled just as brightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Lord Lord Sima Di felt goosebumps from his smile.

"Why did you choose us in the first place? Out of a population of six billion, why did you pick the thirteen of us?" Murasaki Busho asked.

Lord Lord Sima Di hesitated for a moment and then said: "...Because you each have your own strengths. You were the best choice for this experiment."

"It's better to use that kind of talk to fool your little follower." Murasaki Busho looked at Lord Lord Sima Di with a serious gaze, "Although I am smart and good at reasoning, there are plenty of people in this world better at this than me. Although Gulna is a computer genius, he is far from having the ability to break through the Pentagon's information defense system like those legendary hackers. And Xue Xue Lihong is just a small police officer with drive but no brains. As for Sakurai Miyako, who is from the same country as me... she is just an ordinary office worker, and the only thing she might be good at is singing a few enka songs."

"You say you aren't smart, but I don't think so. You already know, don't you? The core of that game."

"Yeah... we all have one fatal common point. We are all people who have witnessed death occurring around us, and we absolutely don't want such things to happen a second time."

"Then what about Zero? What about Bruce?"

"There are many people who want you dead, and naturally there are many killers. Perhaps you can tell me why you left Zero alone to participate in this game."

Murasaki Busho's eyes contained a smile, as if he had already seen through Lord Lord Sima Di's actions.

"As for Bruce... perhaps you didn't want him to participate, so you transferred the target to another one. But Zero told me that among the 117 backup candidates in your room, the first one was Bruce."

"You and Zero have met?"

"Met. And I know the whereabouts of everyone else. Do you need them?"

"Since you know everyone's whereabouts, why don't you consider gathering them to find a way back?"

99 Your Little Follower

"But you should know, the way back is only known to the Spades. And I believe all of us would be happy to see the Spades completely destroyed." There was a hint of hatred in Murasaki Busho's eyes, "If my reasoning is not wrong, the deaths we witnessed were all influences brought about after the Death Game occurred. That is to say, threats from survivors of past Death Games... The thirteen of us are all indirect victims of the Spade game."

Lord Lord Sima Di was silent and didn't speak.

Because Murasaki Busho's reasoning was infinitely close to the truth.

"Heart, you might be selfish, dragging the thirteen of us into the abyss just to prove your conclusion to that person. But at the same time, you gave us the opportunity to know the truth and open our hearts. We are grateful to you, trust you... but we don't like you."

After Murasaki Busho finished speaking, he stared straight at Lord Lord Sima Di.

That sharp gaze seemed to want to dig out all the secrets and darkness Lord Lord Sima Di was hiding.

"Although this conclusion sounds harsh, it is very real." Lord Lord Sima Di gave a wry smile and handed the USB drive to Murasaki Busho, "Now let me see, what content is in this USB drive that can topple the Spades."

"Of course."

After the USB drive was inserted into the computer, there were only two TXT files of no more than a few hundred K inside.

One of them was a string of numbers, looking like a password.

The other was filled with inexplicable words.

[When the monkey brings the golden apple, war begins to spread

The undead demon grips the traitor's soul in his left hand

And chokes his own neck with his right

He appears before people, but dies in the 1001st massacre]

[The cat and the black wolf are ordered to open the used Pandora's box

Because there is still hope at the bottom of the box

The white wolf opened the secret passage to the box for them

But encountered the box's guardian "Five Poisons"

But the cat and the black wolf were fearless

They first beheaded the spider and the centipede

And made the toad and the snake kill each other

The last to die was the non-poisonous scorpion]

[The black wolf and the white wolf were never twins]

[The scorpion likes a fatal blow, while the snake prefers to take it slow]

[Only the piranha in the cage is the most useful]

Besides this, there were many similar words with unclear meanings.

"It seems to be using animals to metaphor something. This thing looks a bit like... a prophecy?" Lord Lord Sima Di was a bit uncertain.

"This thing is not just a prophecy, it is also a sharp weapon to destroy the Spades. But not now..."

Murasaki Busho dragged the document to the end, where there were only four simple characters. However, both Lord Lord Sima Di and Murasaki Busho saw the meaning in them at a glance.

3D2Y.

"3D2Y, the sign Luffy used to notify his partners to gather in two years, it seems this prophet also knows some things. And those guys from the Spades can still run rampant for two years."
