Chapter 217: Chapter 212: Surprise

Watching Xiao Yi begin to ponder, the crowd in the live stream sighed.

"In the end, we’ve come to this step. Honestly, Brother Xiao Yi has already done an incredible job getting this far, but miracles also need to abide by the basic law."

"Exactly, there’s no need to force him. He doesn’t have to solve a problem that he fundamentally can’t solve. It could be considered a victory if he just refrains from revealing that the mastermind behind the scenes is a Bull."

"We should wait for players from other instances to solve and deduce the truth, then use the opportunity of external hints to tell him. This instance at least offers two chances for reminders. Surely, they won’t say that it’s a one-time thing."

Few people believed that Xiao Yi could deduce the truth on his own. This was not due to a lack of faith, but because of that faith, they made such a judgment.

Then, Xiao Yi, without anyone’s expectations, began to think.

Xiao Yi felt that he must deduce the truth; he believed he could deduce the truth.

However, regrettably, Xiao Yi’s Talent, "Abstract Reality," could not enhance his IQ for his own existence since it was tied to the origin of the ability; it had locked his IQ in place.

That Xiao Yi couldn’t increase his IQ was also due to this reason; it was one of the few limitations of this ability.

Therefore, for Xiao Yi to deduce the truth solely by himself was exceedingly difficult.

But for some reason, after embracing the idea that he must deduce the truth, Xiao Yi’s thinking suddenly became swift, his memory clearer, and even the most trivial details appeared vividly in his mind.

It was the first time Xiao Yi felt the world so transparent, everything seemingly within reach.

It was also the first time Xiao Yi had such a feeling; he felt as if he had entered the legendary detective mode!

"Alright, let’s start deducing the truth."

Then, these clues gradually connected in Xiao Yi’s mind, forming a whole.

"The first thing to clarify is what exactly is the situation with the other hotel, or rather, the other world? Then, let’s start considering the similarities and differences."

Between the two worlds, the only similarities might be only just the hotel itself, and two people, along with the mysteriously appearing pages.

Apart from these, there were no other similarities; the events happening inside the other hotel were completely unrelated to this one.

The events occurring between the two worlds did not interfere with each other, so where was their connection?

"Wait..." Suddenly, Xiao Yi remembered something, "The pages are not the same! Although they are the same pages, their content is different!"

After some careful thought, Xiao Yi realized that the pages could be divided into two different categories.

One was the pages obtained in the daytime world of the hotel, and the other was those obtained in the nighttime world of the hotel.

Excluding those that purely introduced abnormalities, the remaining pages seemed similar, all containing some nonsensical words, yet there was a significant difference between them!

It would be quite difficult to find the differences solely based on the content of the pages, so, Xiao Yi decided to take a different approach.

He would not delve into the meanings of the text, but would instead think about the meaning beyond the words.

That is... why did the person who wrote this content write it down?

By following this line of thinking, Xiao Yi noticed the differences.

The pages obtained from the daytime world seemed to be describing a philosophy, and that philosophy strangely connected to the three people in front of Xiao Yi.

Those three pages had appeared through those three people.

Whereas the pages obtained from the nighttime world were simply content of a single person’s complaints and did not connect with any person Xiao Yi knew.

Or rather, there was a connection with a person Xiao Yi still did not know, perhaps the one who wrote those pages.

At the same time, Xiao Yi also remembered the encounters in the other world: the people who recognized Eve but had no related memories, the sudden suicides, the multitudes of dead, and the monsters they encountered.

The abnormality of the world buried the truth of the world.

Xiao Yi seemed to have some idea, but he wasn’t sure yet, so he needed more clues.

Xiao Yi looked at the pages in his hand once again.

Aside from not understanding the meaning of the newly appeared fourth page or its connection to anyone, Xiao Yi had already grasped the meaning of the other three pages.

The connection between those three pages and Clements, Nania, and Liliana seemed to be that the pages were produced by their visualization, but that wasn’t actually the case.

Upon close reading of the pages, one could discover that rather than displaying their visualizations, it was more about revealing their true nature.

It was a deconstruction, explanation, interpretation of something.

And then, these deconstructions, explanations, interpretations were materialized, turned into concrete, vivid people, who then expounded these contents.

Then, adding the form of the pages, Xiao Yi seemed to have grasped something.

However, Xiao Yi still couldn’t figure out what exactly the connection between the two worlds was, and his confusion returned to the original question.

Since the existing clues couldn’t derive a conclusion, then, wouldn’t it be fine just to find more clues?

Thus, Xiao Yi immediately picked up the rule document that Eve had given him.

"...What is this!?"

And then, Xiao Yi saw a sentence on the rule document!

That sentence finally gave Xiao Yi the answer!

A great pile of doubts in his mind was instantly resolved, as if a major reversal in a game of Go had just occurred—Xiao Yi’s thinking became crystal clear!

"So that’s how it is, who would have thought... The answer was on this initial page that I threw away."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath. Now, he really had to thank Eve.

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s revelation, Clements and the others couldn’t help but look at him and asked, "Xiao Yi, do you understand something?"

"Um..." Xiao Yi nodded gently, "I already know the truth of Deserted Mountain Night."

"Deserted Mountain Night?" The others felt puzzled, not understanding what Deserted Mountain Night was.

But, the moment the people in the live broadcast heard these words, they exploded with reaction!

[What! How is that possible? No one in the whole world has guessed it yet! Brother Xiao Yi can’t possibly know!]

[Don’t get excited, he must be making wild guesses again, just wait for Bull Creation to speak.]

"No, that’s not quite accurate," Xiao Yi corrected himself, "I’m not clear on the whole story of Deserted Mountain Night yet, I can’t say I know it completely, but the truth of the two worlds, I am now certain of."

"The two worlds?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion, "Xiao Yi, what on earth are you talking about?"

"Alright..." Xiao Yi, with a serious expression, said to the three people, "What I’m about to say, you mustn’t be scared."

Although puzzled, the three of them nodded.

"We’ve seen it all, we won’t be afraid, just tell us."

"That’s good." Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then he directly said, "Actually, you guys aren’t real people; you’re characters from a story. How about that? Isn’t it a bit of a surprise?"

The three of them: "...Ah?"

[...Ah?]
