Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 634 Who Should I Trust
The key to the problem now is still the choice of what to believe. In this case, there is still no definite conclusion as to what should be worth believing.

Miles has also proved himself. She told him to participate in the celebration as much as possible, so people like Bearded Man who did not participate in the celebration were chosen as sacrifices.

The news is true.

Nick sighed inwardly, knowing too little information and being unable to make any judgement. The best way at the moment was to follow the rules.

Seeing that Theresa was eating heartily and seemed to have no problem, the Nick player sitting at the table started eating. He was really hungry. He had participated in the entire parade, walking and cheering, which was a great drain on his energy.

He wolfed down the barbecue and hamburgers with some vegetables in between, and the sight whetted the appetite of everyone who saw him.

Horn couldn't help himself after seeing this, he picked up the knife and fork in front of him and prepared to start eating. At this moment, his body suddenly turned red, and bright red marks appeared one after another.

The desire and smile on Horn's face turned into fear at this moment, and he shouted: "It hurts, it hurts so much, save me, save me..."

Everything happened in an instant. Before the men could react, Horn was broken into layers by streaks of bright red.

The common pork or beef slices in daily life are normal, but once the protagonist is changed, it becomes a terrifying scene that shocks the consciousness.

Fortunately, this scene only lasted for a moment and then disappeared from the spot.

Theresa and the other person paused in their eating movements. From the way their throats slid up and down, it could be seen that they were enduring as much as possible...

Nick felt like his head was about to explode...

what's the situation?
Why were Theresa and Robbitt fine even though they didn't eat according to the rules, and the other three people who had eaten earlier also fine, but Horn, who didn't do anything, died...

What happened?
Just as Nick was thinking this, he suddenly felt the parchment on his chest getting hot again. He reached out and touched it, and this time, a message came through in a familiar way.

"Witness the sacrifice. One person is chosen as the sacrifice and completes the sacrifice. Do you want to use the characteristics of the parchment scroll to collect a portion of the sacrifice characteristics from it?"

With the experience from last time, this time Nick said to himself: OK.

Then some vague memories merged into Nick's mind, and Nick saw what Horn had experienced before, as if he was watching a movie.

There are many impressive scenes, for example, the three bearded men turned into clowns in front of his eyes and then disappeared.

But the most important thing was the messages that Horn had been reciting silently in his mind and that the bearded man had forced Theresa to recite.

"Join the celebration", "You must attend the blood feast", "There are clues on the child".

Such a magical thing was simply unbelievable to Nick.

It was as if he had experienced the story from the other side himself. He knew the whole development of the incident very well. Although some details were not very detailed due to memory problems, he did not miss any key information.

The benefits of this ability are demonstrated vividly.

After all, during his conversation with Theresa just now, Theresa did not mention the three points seen on the billboard.

But why didn't this function trigger when three people were chosen as sacrifices in front of him last time...

Nick thought about it, maybe it was because he was also one of the sacrifices last time, so he triggered other functions first, and then other functions could not be triggered.

It seems to make sense.

This parchment scroll is much more useful than I imagined.

Without going into details, let me just talk about the three pieces of information I got from my memory this time.

Nick had heard the same topic from Miles before, but the content was completely different.

The first is the same, the second is the opposite, and the third is something Miles never said at all.

Who is worth trusting?

Nick leans toward Theresa.

After all, in Horn's impression, in that situation, Theresa's mentality had collapsed, her life and death were in the control of others, and it was unlikely that she would lie.

Moreover, there is another reason, which is that Miles suddenly appeared after disappearing.

The three clowns and the missing Horn, they all died directly after triggering the rules of abnormal events, only Miles came back, this is the biggest doubt.

However, there is still a question here, that is, why did Horn die? Which rule did he break?
Thinking of this, Nick stood up, walked to another table, next to several team members, and asked, "What did Miles say to you?"

The three people looked at Nick and naturally would not say anything. Miles had already told them all the news that Nick did not want to tell them.

So, after a moment of silence, one of them slowly said, "She guessed that this dinner was a blood feast and wanted us to leave with her."

"And they also said that we couldn't eat the food from the golden tray, we had to take it directly from the big box."

Hearing this, Nick already had the answer in his mind.

He looked through Horn's memory again, and then a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

So that's it. I know why Horn died, and why Theresa is safe.

What Miles said was basically true, but just a slight misleading at a key point could lead to a fatal mistake.

Any lie is nine out of ten true and one out of ten false, and is the most difficult to guard against.

But now, what he needs to do is to test who is right between Theresa and Miles.

So, Nick, who was worried, and a few others didn't say anything, but returned to their seats.

He looked at Theresa who was eating heartily and said silently: "I just got a piece of news. The banquet we are attending now is very likely to be a blood banquet."

As he spoke, he was also paying close attention to Theresa.

After all, if Theresa was telling the truth, then attending the Blood Feast now would suit her just fine.

But if Theresa was lying, then now that she was attending a blood feast, Theresa would probably want to leave.

Nick had no way of telling whether Miles was a normal person or not. If she was an abnormal person, it probably wouldn't make any difference whether she participated or not. But for Theresa, Nick had Horn's memories, which could prove that Theresa was a normal person.

After hearing this, Theresa's expression turned into surprise, and then she said, "I didn't expect this to be a blood feast..."

Theresa was a little nervous.

The sign she saw clearly stated that one should not attend the blood feast and should leave immediately.

This shows that the Blood Feast is very dangerous...

However...she now has the "same kind" mark on her body. If she really becomes a sacrifice, she can transfer it to the people around her.

If I leave now and separate from these teammates, it will be even more dangerous. In abnormal events, danger is everywhere and cannot be avoided just by wanting to.

And... there is another very strange thing in front of me. Why did Nick talk about this as soon as he came back, and he was still observing me? It seems so purposeful.

Is it because he knows something and wants to see his attitude?

Teresa was forced to go outside the town gate to read the billboard, but everyone who knew about it is no longer here. Where did he get the information from?

Horn hadn't spoken to Nick from beginning to end. He sat with him because he was afraid that he would talk nonsense.

Theresa was certain that Horn had no chance to be alone with the others…

Wait, Nick has explored this on his own, maybe he also gained abilities from children like himself?

It is not impossible for Nick to gain the ability to communicate by acquiring similar abilities himself.

For a moment, Theresa thought that maybe she was worrying too much.

But on second thought, no matter if I was worrying too much or not, it would not be a bad thing to pay attention to myself. I can and only can stay here.

Having "same" abilities, although there are still risks, it is much safer than others.

Thinking of this, Theresa said, "Although I don't know what the Blood Feast is, everyone is here, so it should be safe. After all, we said before that we should actively participate in the celebration."

Theresa's expression and response were perfect.

Nick, who had been paying attention to Theresa, finally made a judgment at this moment. Theresa was telling the truth and the blood feast must be attended.

Miles has a problem.

Of course, the safest way is to ask someone to go to the entrance of the town and look at the signboard. Then you will know what is on it and who is lying.

But... now everyone knows the risks of going out, and I'm afraid no one would be willing to go out. Nick can't do what the bearded man did and force others to go out.

Fortunately, based on the current situation, the situation is basically clear.

Nick said to the three people at the other table: "Don't listen to Miles, stay here and join the blood feast."

When Theresa heard Nick's words, her heart sank: As expected, Nick knew something, or at least he knew that he was forced to see the sign. It seemed that Theresa also told Nick what was on the sign, and it was the correct content.

I don't know why, but Nick chose to believe himself.

Is it because I still stay here?

Based on the results, Theresa thought in reverse and easily figured out Nick's thoughts.

It can be said that Nick's judgments are all based on facts. His words and actions confirm each other, and he came to this conclusion. After all, no one would risk their own life.

But he didn't expect that the ability he gained was to transfer the danger to other people.

……

Miles returned to the room. She lay comfortably on the sofa, muttering to herself with some regret: "What a pity. If I could bring those three people back, I would be able to gather them with my predictive operations. Then I would have the initiative and could play the game however I want."

Then, he closed his eyes and waited for the blood feast to arrive.

The Blood Feast is the key to the entire abnormal event. At twelve o'clock, some abnormal phenomena will be triggered. If Miles wants to survive and help his master control this abnormal event, he must transform a suitable sacrifice at the time of the Blood Feast.

“It’s easier said than done… Even if you have enough support, you still have a long way to go to achieve your goal.”

"The most critical issue is my disappearance. This behavior has made me more suspicious in the eyes of others, and it is difficult to gain their trust."

Miles closed his eyes and tried to recover as much as possible.

……

Boom--boom--boom...

The bells are ringing.

There were hurried footsteps on the street, not from one person, but from a group of people.

Miles opened his eyes and looked towards the door.

boom.

The door was pushed open suddenly.

Nick, sweaty and in a mess, rushed in: "Miles, you are right, I was wrong, I was completely wrong, Theresa is a trap, a guide for abnormal things."

Nick's eyes were full of regret and pain, his clothes were soaked with sweat, his hair stuck to his forehead in wisps, and he looked dirty.

Behind him, another female voice came out breathlessly: "Don't be fooled, Nick is the derived anomaly. This time, it is because of him that we suffered heavy losses."

Theresa walked in, followed by two other people. No, to be precise, there was only one left, because the moment he stepped into the room, the other person fell to the ground and his body exploded like a balloon.

The scene was so tragic that the two people who were accusing each other fell silent, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

The last person who came in sat on the ground in a trance, and kept muttering: "Horn, Robbitt, Reese, Dorian, they are all dead."

"At least you're not dead yet, Willis." Miles stood up and looked at the others. "Can anyone explain to me what's going on?"

Nick said angrily: "Theresa killed all her people and wanted to kill us. There is definitely something wrong with her. We shouldn't attend the blood feast, but she told us that we must attend the blood feast."

Miles raised an eyebrow, then looked at Theresa.

Theresa was equally angry: "I have already explained that I was forced. They wanted to force me to die. I thought I was dead, so I gave the wrong information. I was lucky that I didn't die. I didn't want to hurt anyone."

Nick looked at her coldly: "You had enough time to explain, but you didn't. You killed Horn, killed Robbitt, and wanted to kill me. You can designate anyone as a sacrifice. Even if you are not a derivative anomaly, you are almost the same."

Theresa shouted, "Asshole!"

"Do you think you can hide it from me?" Nick sneered and said, "I have evidence."

Miles said "Oh" with interest.

As Nick spoke, he pulled out a knife, cut his palm, and bright red blood flowed out.

Then he threw the knife to Theresa: "It's your turn."

Theresa looked at the knife but didn't pick it up. She just said, "This... this doesn't mean anything."

Nick said, "Don't dare? Of course you don't dare, because your blood is blue. You have been transformed by an abnormal event."
