When everyone heard about the city's bizarre even-numbered dates, everyone said it was unreasonable, and Xiao Qinxian responded the fastest: "If we count it like this, then we don't have 13 days at all! Now it's two days combined into one day. It's been!"
Yu Ji also exclaimed in surprise: "If 13 days are to be divided into two halves, that's 6 and a half days! Forget today, we only have 5 and a half days left!"
Xiao Qinxian's face turned pale again: "If we kill two people a day, we can kill 12 of us in 6 days, and the last half day..." Xiao Qinxian looked at Luo Wei who was sitting in the corner, "It's probably reserved for outsiders. ."
Luo Wei sneered unconsciously, this woman has reached this juncture, and she has not forgotten to release her malice.
"Let's eat first, there are a lot of things to discuss together after dinner." Qin Ci had already started to eat, and he did not forget to remind everyone, "Don't drink the wine here, I don't know if there is a problem with the wine, or if this city has changed people. Now, a little bit of alcohol is likely to be intoxicating."
"This city is really intoxicating." Wei Dong ate the spring cake rolled in his hand, but his hand could not help shaking slightly - no one could estimate who would leave tonight.
Maybe it was because of something on our minds, everyone hastily finished eating.
Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran and said to everyone: "I think the question that everyone is most concerned about now is: how to get 13 kilograms of crimson beasts within the specified time; tonight, if the beast in someone's body has murderous intentions, there will be How can I take precautions so as not to be killed?"
Everyone's expressions were in favor, including the picky Xiao Qinxian.
Mu Yiran then said: "If you put it in a more understandable way, the first question is, everyone has to try their best to get 13 kilograms of beasts from outside our group, and the second question is..."
Before Mu Yiran's words were finished, everyone was already surprised by this. After careful consideration, this was the only feasible way.
No one is willing to sacrifice the beast in their body, and besides, not everyone in the group has a beast in it.
Ke Xun looked at Mu Yiran beside him, unable to believe that such a fierce truth would come from his mouth.
Yu Ji subconsciously looked at the guests around him, but fortunately no one noticed it, so he lowered his voice and said, "Fortunately we have Luo Wei, he can see if there are beast marks on other people's faces, it's that simple. How come we didn't think about it earlier! Why do we have to wait for the beast to tear our body apart?! We have Luo Wei and Dr. Qin. We are so many and powerful that we can choose a character to start with."
As Yu Ji said that, he was frightened by his own ruthlessness, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement because of this thought: "The big boss is the big boss, and the first shot is steady and accurate!"
Ke Xun didn't want others to misinterpret his boss like this, so he said to the boss, "Ah, what are your thoughts? How can we get the beast from the people around us, and it must be legal."
"What else is legal? We are now at stake!" Yu Ji was a little anxious, looking at the darkening sky outside the window, the fear of death gradually took over his heart.
"We are now in a city with law and order, and this restaurant is opposite the police station. No one will condone our misbehavior." Zhu Haowen said.
Mu Yiran looked at Qin Ci: "I read some information in your office this afternoon, 'beasts' are a kind of wealth resource, which are allowed to be bought and sold, some family members do not agree to sell the beasts in the deceased to the government, only one A small part is for collection, most of them want to wait for the peak season to sell for a good price.”
Qin Ci frowned: "Which book is this written in?"
Mu Yiran smiled lightly: "It's not the content of the book, but the advertisements on the back cover of some magazines, the promotion of various auctions about the crimson beast, and the sky-high prices that the beasts with special appearance are fired for. It's in the advert."
"God, this is simply a famous antique painting in our world!" Su Benxin couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Mu, you mean that we are selling the two beasts in our hands..."
Everyone gasped when they heard it, but they couldn't contain their excitement, which was somewhat evil.
Mu Yiran looked at Zhao Yanbao: "I hope this topic will not make you unhappy."
Zhao Yanbao: "Chi Lei has let go, that beast is like a container full of negative emotions, it doesn't make sense for me to keep it for the limited 5.5 days... If it can really save more people, Chi Rei's spirit in heaven would agree."
Zhao Yanbao looked at Mu Yiran: "Is it written in those documents, what value do these beasts have to be chased by people like this?"
"It's not written clearly, people only say that these crimson beasts are the symbols of the whole heart city, so they are very precious." Mu Yiran's expression was a little teasing, "Even in our world, people spend high prices on Is the pursuit really worth the money?"
"What exactly are you going to do?" This time it was Ke Xun who asked, "Sell the two beasts in our hands at a high price, and then use the money to buy heavier beasts?"
"That's pretty much what it means, or we can find a more direct animal trading market, directly exchanging beasts for beasts." Mu Yiran also thought that this was not a comfortable topic, but had to continue.
"You mean that the value of the beasts here is not determined by weight?" Ke Xun asked.
"Yes, the heavier ones are more precious, but if they come across those with peculiar appearance, buyers will not pay much attention to the weight." Mu Yiran was reluctant to show Ke Xun his commercial side. It was a last resort, "In short, beasts with accessories are very rare, and I believe they will be more valuable."
"What is a beast with accessories?" Wei Dong didn't understand.
Mu Yiran further explained: "For example, the snail shell of Zhichun's beast, or the rope that used to bind Chi Lei's beast, if such beasts are auctioned together with accessories, they will be more expensive."
Everyone gradually understood, and Yu Ji sweated from his excitement: "Yes, that old policeman asked us to find a 13-kilogram beast. He only asked for the weight and nothing else! We can use supplies. Exchange a strange beast for an ordinary heavier beast! If you do a good business, maybe you can exchange 13 kilograms for it!"
"If everyone thinks it's feasible, then we'll look for relevant exchanges tomorrow." Qin Ci asked everyone.
All have no objection.
"But, what should I do tonight?" Wei Dong was afraid, not all for himself, but more for his friends, "Those of you with red marks on your foreheads, if something happens again tonight... according to the rules of the painting , every night will…”
"Yes, this is the second question just mentioned, how to guard against the beasts tonight, this question is the most difficult to solve at present, because the beasts we know should be their own demons, this thing is not random You can defeat it casually." Qin Ci still turned his attention to Mu Yiran, "I wonder if Xiaomu has any countermeasures in mind?"
"What we can do at the moment is to try our best to understand the formation of beasts and find out the weaknesses of beasts." Mu Yiran didn't think of a better solution for this, "I thought of a clue today, and that is about Chi Lei. The title page of Yukio Mishima's "The Scarlet Beast" mentioned in his lifetime, which mentions that the 'Scarlet Beast' is selected from the seventeenth chapter of "Revelation". - I don't know if this source can give us more information Lots of tips."
Ke Xun asked, "Who knows what the seventeenth chapter of Revelation says?"
Su Benxin: "Big prostitute."
"… "
"Some translations are, the big harlot and the scarlet beast." Su Benxin further said.
Ke Xun held the cold lemonade glass in both hands: "Is there any symbolic meaning?"
"There are some things about European sects and politics at that time. I don't know the specific division, but it should have nothing to do with our theme. This woman has the words 'Mystery! Babylon the Great' on her forehead, which means Satan's 'Babylon City'." Su Ben knew that talking too much would only make everyone more confused, so he tried to keep it short.
"Babylon? Is it Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations?" Yu Ji interjected and asked.
"No, the devil's city built by Satan is called the great city of Babylon, and it has nothing to do with that ancient civilization."
Ke Xun suddenly asked again, "You said just now, on that woman's forehead?"
"For those words that were extremely rebellious to the religion of the time, they were written on women's foreheads." Su Benxin suddenly understood what Ke Xun meant, "You mean the words on women's foreheads and the red on people's foreheads in this city. Traces…”
All appear on the forehead, and this similarity should not be just a coincidence.
"Besides the woman, didn't you mention the scarlet beast just now? What does that beast look like? Does it have anything to do with the beast we're looking for?" Wei Dong couldn't help asking.
"That beast has seven heads and ten horns." It was Mu Yiran who answered this time.
"Huh, Boss Mu also knows it." Wei Dong turned his face towards Su Benxin to Mu Yiran, feeling that his own people knew this more at ease.
Mu Yiran said: "The appearance of the beast is related to several kings and sects in the Western European Empire at that time. I don't think these specific histories have much to do with the present. What matters is the origin and deeds of the beast."
Su Benxin looked at Mu Yiran with interest, expecting the other party to continue.
The others also stared at Mu Yiran, as if they were staring at a fascinated professor in a certain academy... Ke Xun once again felt the familiar and proud.
"Regarding the beast, I can only repeat the words in the Book of Revelation: The beast you saw was before, and now is not, and will come up out of the abyss and go to perdition. All who dwell on earth and whose names are from the foundation of the world Those who are not written in the book of life will be amazed when they see the beasts that were there before, don't exist now, and will exist again in the future." Mu Yiran spoke at a much slower pace than before in order to make everyone hear clearly.
Ke Xun Weidong Qin bestowed Zhu Haowen and Luo Wei:…
