None of the elite black soldiers spoke.
But Thorn suddenly looked at Tesla: "The last time it was Haagen-Dazs and Six Fingers, the second time it was Night God and Woodcutter, the third time it was Rashomon and Holy Hand... What is your intention in arranging it this way?"
Tesla was silent for a while, then said: "It seems that you have reacted? Why, do you want to warn the rebels in this car?"
He looked at Thorn, then glanced around and found that except for the prophet, everyone else had confused looks, as if they didn't know what Thorn was talking about.
The prophet's reaction was strange. He seemed not surprised at either the bush's question or his answer.
Tesla pointed this out: "Prophet, it seems that you have also figured out the purpose of my arrangement?"
Zhu Shijiu yawned out of boredom: "It's not hard to guess. I expected it when you made the arrangement from the beginning."
Tesla was silent for a moment. He didn't quite believe what Zhu Shijiu said.
He thought he had behaved fairly covertly, and the fact that Thorn was able to react was a sign of his quick thinking. If Zhu Shijiu had reacted when he had made the arrangements at the beginning, that would have been truly terrifying.

"Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word you say?" At this time, the pianist finally spoke in confusion.
Haagen-Dazs, Six Fingers, Night God, Woodcutter, War Maniac, and Shura all looked at Zhu Shijiu, wondering what they suddenly said.
Zhu Shijiu simply pointed out the riddle they were playing: "Tesla is testing the rebels in the team. Haven't you discovered it yet?"
The pianist and others were bewildered.
Zhu Shijiu half sighed and half explained helplessly: "First of all, we have to make it clear that the bait is not only Max, but also Thorn."
The pianist said in confusion: "I know that. Now we are just using Max as bait to fish. Later we will increase our efforts to use thorns to fish..."
Zhu Shijiu shook his head: "You are wrong. Now we have actually started fishing with thorns."
"Do you think that Max got out of the car just to use Max to fish? Max got out of the car to move around, just to use Max to fish for the rebels outside, but what about the rebels in the car?"
Zhu Shijiu glanced at everyone with a suspicious look that made them stunned.
What Zhu Shijiu said made them all stunned.

Zhu Shijiu said calmly, "Jingzhi pointed out at the research institute that there are still traitors among us, but she did not say how many there are. The only conclusion that can be deduced is that the number of traitors in our team is less than the number of loyalists. You already know this, right?"
Haagen-Dazs and others recalled that this reasoning process had been carried out before in the underground of the research institute. If the number of rebels was greater than the number of loyal people, the loyal people would be wiped out underground.
"Tesla deliberately arranged a group of two black soldiers to escort Max. In fact, there are two purposes. One is the well-known fishing, and the other is to reduce the number of rebels!"
"If we calculate based on the maximum number of rebels, there will be at most six rebels among our twelve elite black soldiers. Thorn has been confirmed as a rebel. Apart from Thorn, the worst possibility is that there are five more rebels among us."
"My weapons have been confiscated. If we consider the worst-case scenario, I am innocent. The loyalists have lost a fighting force for no reason. So, excluding me and Thorn, the ratio of the loyalists to the rebels is 5:5. Do you understand this?"
Everyone seemed to be thinking about something; they almost understood what Zhu Shijiu wanted to say.
Zhu Shijiu continued to explain: "When the bait is sent out for the first time, if both Haagen-Dazs and Six Fingers are loyal, then the worst possible ratio of the number of loyalists to rebels on the bus is 3:5; if one of Haagen-Dazs and Six Fingers is a rebel, then the ratio of the number of loyalists to rebels on the bus is 4:4; if both are rebels, then the ratio of the number of loyalists to rebels is 5:3..."
At this point, Haagen-Dazs also reacted: "If there are more rebels on the bus, they will attack Thorn! Because as long as the loyalists are killed, no matter what happens on the bus, the rebels can speak with one voice. As long as the loyalists are dead, the rebels can make up lies at will!"
Haagen-Dazs' words directly enlightened the others, and they gradually followed Zhu Shijiu's ideas.
"Yes." Zhu Shijiu nodded and said calmly, "After several attempts, the rebels still did not move. This means that the rebel team on the bus is at most 4:4. If it is 5:3, the rebels might take a risk and take action. Let's look at the situation under the bus..."

"He asked Haagen-Dazs and Six Fingers, Night God and the Woodcutter, Rashomon and Holy Hand to protect Max and do the bait mission. Why do you think that was? It was just to identify the two rebels in groups of two. Six Fingers is stronger than Haagen-Dazs, Night God is stronger than the Woodcutter, Rashomon is stronger than Holy Hand..."
"Let's take Haagen-Dazs and Six Fingers as an example." Zhu Shijiu said, "This combination allows us to be sure that Six Fingers is a loyal person."
Zhan Kuang was the slowest to react among the crowd. He asked, "Huh? Why do you think so?"
"Because Six Fingers is stronger than Haagen-Dazs." Zhu Shijiu looked at everyone, "Six Fingers is stronger. If Six Fingers attacks Haagen-Dazs while protecting Max, Haagen-Dazs will probably die unexpectedly. At the same time, Max will also die from the sniper's shooting."
"But none of this happened, which shows that Six Fingers is loyal and strictly carries out his mission to protect Max."
Haagen-Dazs wanted to refute, but he knew that he was indeed weaker. If Six Fingers was really a rebel, he might have died in the toilet.
"The same is true for Yagami and the woodcutter, so we can be sure that Yagami is a loyal person. If Rashomon and the Holy Hand return safely later, then we can be sure that Rashomon is also a loyal person."
"Tesla had already tested Shura at the research institute and asked him to supervise Thorn outside the main control room. At that time, he was sure that Shura was loyal."
"In this way, with four loyalists plus Tesla's loyalist, we can be sure that there are five loyalists in our team."
"The worst case scenario we considered before was that 5 members of the team were loyal and 5 were rebellious. In other words, each of the five elite black soldiers, Zhan Kuang, Pianist, Haagen-Dazs, Woodcutter, and Saint Hand, is a suspect. Let's still consider the worst possibility. Maybe all five of you are rebels..."

"Bullshit." Zhan Kuang said expressionlessly.
Zhu Shijiu chuckled, then looked at Tesla: "In short, Tesla has gone to great lengths to confirm the identities of the five loyalists. If I'm right, Tesla has two options for the next step. One is to continue testing them, but if he continues to test them, the risk of Max's death will be very high, because the next people to be tested are likely to be rebels."
If we really consider the worst case scenario, that the War Maniac, the Pianist, Haagen-Dazs, the Woodcutter, and the Saint Hand are all rebels, then next time if we arrange two of these five people to protect Max, Max will definitely die.
Of course, it might not be that bad, but as a commander, Tesla couldn't be so rash. He always considered the worst possible scenario.
Zhu Shijiu then mentioned Tesla's second option: "The second way is to let the five members of the known loyalists and the five members of the potential rebels work in pairs to carry out the bait plan. In this way, although it is impossible to further reduce the scope of the rebels, it also ensures Max's safety."
The above are the ideas about Tesla’s bait plan that Zhu Shijiu learned from Tesla through reviewing the files and constantly pondering. Now they are all turned into words and pointed out one by one.
There was dead silence in the carriage.
After a long moment, Tesla chuckled.
Tesla had already overestimated Zhu Shijiu in his heart, but after hearing this, he had to raise Zhu Shijiu's genius level to a higher level again.
This guy... is such a genius that he analyzed the plan that he had conceived in his mind exactly!
