Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 185 The True Identity of Kirigakure Goro
Xia Shou gasped for breath, immediately crumpled up the letter in his hand and stuffed it back into his trouser pocket.

The chaotic thoughts in his head swarmed in like moths chasing the light, but the words he had just read were like an invisible glass, causing his thoughts to crash into it one by one. His thoughts were now as numerous as ants crawling around, but he could not pick them up one by one with his fingers. They would shatter if he exerted the slightest force.

calm down.

Be calm.

You already know that the man who once possessed the Death Note and Dorian Gray's pocket watch and entered Moonburn Village has the same last name as you.

Now you have to continue reasoning along this line.

Was there once a person with the same name and surname as you, who also came in here with a dead pen and a pocket watch?
No.

He wouldn't believe such a far-fetched coincidence.

So, is it possible that I have really been to Yuezhuo Village in the past?
But the problem is that he has no memory at all, not even the memory of entering and leaving Yuezhuo Village.

If he really had come in, at least the memory of the Fake Moon Burning Village would remain, just like those investigators who had already left.

Unless... it was like those novels he had read before, where he, who had experienced everything in the past, lost his memory for some reason and forgot everything.

Or, like the movie "Predestination", everything in time and space is a cycle and reincarnation with no beginning or end, a paradox with no starting point.

Xia Shou felt like his head was about to explode. His imagination was like jumping drops of water. Countless possibilities unfolded under his speculation, and then interrupted.

If he let his imagination run wild, Xia Shou could come up with a hundred possible truths.

Although these ideas are very outrageous, Xia Shou still believes that these ideas are possible. After all, if the power to seek one's own death and trace back the reality of the whole world exists, then the power to erase someone's memory or simply trace back someone's life is nothing surprising.

"You look terrible." Bai He walked over.

Xia Shou was stunned, turned stiffly to Baihe, and smiled quickly.

He hid his true thoughts and made up an excuse: "It would be strange if his complexion looked good. It's only seven days."

"Yeah, there's only seven days left..." Bai He nodded in understanding.

The huge mental pressure was not only on Xia Shou, but others also began to think about what choice to make when they reached the last step.

But only Xia Shou knew that once they got those secrets from the female village chief, the current relatively balanced situation would rush all the way to hell like a derailed train.

It was clearly written on the letter that there were two ways to leave Yuezhuo Village. The first was to escape by observing the well with the sound of water, but this required putting the blood of all the fakes into the dry well in the real Yuezhuo Village.

The other method is to go back in time, which requires all the fake blood, but not a single drop of real blood.

The latter is thousands of times more difficult than the former.

The solution to the former is so simple that even an elementary school student can give the answer.

It's not hard, just brutal.

All the dry well needs is the blood of all the fakes - so it doesn't matter even if there is real human blood mixed in.

As long as you kill everyone except yourself, you will be able to leave here 100%!

What’s even more terrifying is that even if someone wants to try other methods, he will think that someone else may have secretly adopted this cruel escape plan.

Under the influence of this horrible chain of suspicion, killing each other is the inevitable outcome.

"Xia Shou, be careful of Wu Lang." Bai He suddenly lowered his voice and said seriously.

Xia Shou frowned slightly, looking puzzled: "What do you mean? Do you think Fatty is a fake?"

Baihe shook his head: "No, on the contrary, I just think Goro is the real one."

"Why then?"

"What do you think of Goro?" Bai He did not answer, but asked back. "He is quite strong, but you are also strong, right? I think the real strength of you and Fatty is definitely more than a second-level finisher."

Bai He nodded, as if to acquiesce: "I guessed part of it right, but what I want to ask is, what do you think of his personality?"

"This..."

Xia Shou recalled carefully.

It is really difficult for him to give an accurate evaluation of Goro.

“He’s very easy to get along with, has a nice personality, likes to brag about himself, and the nicknames he gave himself are pretty silly.

Moreover, he actually used his companions' bonuses to gamble, showing no sense of responsibility at all. If it weren't for this shortcoming, Fatty probably wouldn't have been forced by the minister to come to Yuezhuo Village.

But he is still quite reliable at critical moments, although he is also very frightening. "

After that, Xia Shou frowned and corrected his words: "No, maybe he is not reliable at all. It is difficult for people to trust a ninja who is afraid of seeing blood."

"The normal Goro and the Goro on a mission are two different people." Shirakawa said seriously.

"Don't look at him like this, but in fact he has always abided by the principles of ninja, the mission is the top priority, do you understand?

This is the kind of training he received. You can't consider Goro who is on a mission and the normal Goro as the same person.

No, you shouldn't think of him as a human being when he is performing a task. It's better to think of him as a machine operating according to a set program.

From what I know about him, if we really have to kill each other in the end, then Wu Lang is the person most likely to survive besides Lin Tiandong, and he should be the one who kills the most people. "

"Brother Bai, aren't you exaggerating?" Xia Shou smiled guiltily. In fact, he didn't think Bai He was joking at all.

"Don't underestimate the ninja's killing ability. This quality is not included in the rating standards for the Finishers... Goro once led a team to kill a rebellious fourth-level Finisher." Baihe said slowly.

Xia Shou was stunned on the spot.

If he remembered correctly, the rating criteria for a Level 4 finisher were: able to defend against attacks from conventional thermal weapons, and in the face of thermal weapons suppression, be able to protect two people, lift fire suppression, or escape.

If you have this quality, are recommended by a level 4 finisher, and your own abnormality level reaches level , you can become a level finisher.

Because of the existence of the recommendation mechanism, starting from level 2, the strength of the finishers at each level varies greatly.

Even though he had led the team to assassinate the fourth-level finisher, it was still an incredible feat to be able to accomplish such a thing.

"Is it true?" Xia Shou was a little skeptical.

He felt that Baihe might have already started to make plans and lay out the subsequent slaughter.

What he said now was actually to achieve some kind of psychological warfare purpose.

"Humans are very fragile. Most extraordinary people are glass cannons. Only the fifth-level finalists have the ability to passively defend against unexpected fatal attacks. Therefore, cross-level assassination is not impossible, and that guy is an expert in this area." Baihe said.

"By sneak attack?"

"What else? But a sneak attack is not that simple. Those who can obtain the fourth-level title through promotion are not fools. The Ninja Wind Team is not the first group responsible for the assassination. The three assassination attempts before and after all ended in the group being wiped out. They were the ones who completed the mission in the end." Baihe sighed tiredly.

Bai He adjusted the copper coin curtain, patted Xia Shou on the shoulder, and said comfortingly:

“Having said that, don’t be too stressed. Before the female village chief reveals the secret, it’s not the right time for him to take action.

Moreover, the ninja's ability to endure weakness is much better than ours, so he will most likely wait until the last few days before taking action.

I am going to try to convince Ling Xiao now. Although I understand Ling Xiao's thoughts, staying alive is the most important thing."
