The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

Weiss's strength was similar to that of another intern, the sea weasel Nero. If he were to fight Sima Di seriously, the latter might have to use all his abilities to defeat him. However, Weiss not only underestimated this "auntie," but also thoroughly enraged her. The "auntie's" fighting power instantly doubled.

98 I need your help

[Heart, I know about Bruce. Besides that thing, I need your help here.]

“Bruce should have given you the USB drive… This is the emergency response plan we agreed on.” Zi Busheng’s eyes dimmed slightly. “I always thought we wouldn’t need this PnB.”

"You overcame all the traps I set in the game and escaped together, only to die here... and Master Bruce no less... Tell me, what exactly happened between you and Master Bruce? Why did Master Bruce get involved with those lunatics? And what exactly is in the USB drive?" Sima Di looked sad and eager to know the answers.

"You probably didn't use their computer to check the contents of the USB drive, did you?"

"Of course not. Who knows what's on their computers and whether it might ruin the USB drive? Even I, who's not a computer expert, know that."

"That's good... Come with me."

After saying that, Zibusheng turned around and ran up the stairs.

Seeing this, Emperor Sima had no choice but to follow.

Where to?

“In my room, there’s a laptop. That kid Gurna assembled it for me. It’s rudimentary, but it works.”

"Gourna is with you too? Where is he now? What's going on with the three of you?"

"It was just a coincidence that the three of us ended up in the same place." Zibu looked around and, finding no one, used his key to open the door in front of him. "...This is my room. Since I'm an intern, I'm only on the third floor...I hope their battle won't destroy this room."

Sima Di followed Zi Busheng in and closed the door behind him.

"Can we talk now?"

"Revolutionary Army".

Zi Busheng looked at Sima Di and uttered these three words.

"What? The place where you fell is...?" Sima Di was stunned.

"It's just a nearby island... Although the three of us are all members of the Revolutionary Army, they don't know our true identities. They invited us simply because the three of us happened to work together to resolve a certain incident."

"An incident? I can imagine how unlucky the murderer must have been. Could it be that someone had painstakingly planned a murder for decades, only to be caught red-handed by you guys?"

"That's about it. It's just a series of interconnected mountain lodges, much larger in scale than the stories Mr. Bruce wrote... It was a very interesting trip," said Zibusheng.

Murasaki is from Japan and is an international student studying in China. He was the president of the mystery club in high school and later served as the vice president of the mystery club at a prestigious university in China. This demonstrates his considerable deductive reasoning abilities. In addition, he is proficient in some martial arts techniques, and Murasaki himself came to China to study because of his love for Chinese martial arts.

Bruce, needless to say, is a master of deduction.

Meanwhile, Gurner, who is the same age as Murasaki, is a computer genius. Although he is still immature, he is already quite accomplished...a hacker.

In other words, apart from Cheng Yu, the smartest of the thirteen were all gathered here, and coincidentally, they all joined the revolutionary army.

"If you add Cheng Yu, your combination would be invincible," Sima Di couldn't help but complain.

“We don’t need too many of the same type of guys…that’s why Mr. Bruce and I were sent abroad. But now that something like this has happened, I think it’s better to have more people. We already know their whereabouts, and after the Enies Lobby incident, I will recruit the two of them into the Revolutionary Army.”

Zibu took out a laptop from a rather hidden place in the room.

The computer looked rather mediocre, but after turning it on, Sima Di felt that apart from not being able to play online games, it had all the other functions quite well.

"Did you know that besides liberating all the islands under the Navy's jurisdiction, the Revolutionary Army also has another mission: to track down and eliminate Spade... Half of the three of us agreed to join the Revolutionary Army because of this. What Spade is going to do is far more terrifying than we imagined, and some of the things... even you might not know."

Emperor Sima remained silent and did not answer.

Because of what Zibu Sheng said, she knew a lot, but not all of Spades. And even the part she knew was terrifying.

"USB flash drive." Zibu Sheng held out his hand.

Sima Di took out the USB drive, but only let Zi Busheng glance at it before clutching it tightly in his hand and not handing it over to him.

"While you're right, you still need to tell me what's on this USB drive? Why would Master Bruce risk his life to get it? And... are you really so comfortable handing this USB drive over to me?"

Upon hearing these words, Zibu smiled.

Although he was a slightly roguish young man, he still had a very sunny smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Sima Di was creeped out by his laughter.

"Why did you choose us in the first place? Out of a population of six billion, why did you specifically choose thirteen of us?" Zi Busheng asked.

Sima Di hesitated for a moment and then said, "...because you each have your own strengths. You are the best choice for this experiment."

"You'd be better off using that kind of talk on your little lackey." Zi Busheng looked at Sima Di with a serious expression. "While I may be smart and good at reasoning, there are plenty of people in this world who are better at this than I am. Gurner may be a computer genius, but he's far from capable of breaking into the Pentagon's information defense system like those legendary hackers. Xue Lihong is just a motivated but brainless cop. As for Sakurai Miyo, who's from the same country as me... she's just an ordinary office worker whose only talent is perhaps singing a few enka songs."

"You say you're not smart, but I don't think so. You already know, don't you? The core of that game."

"Yes...we all have one fatal thing in common. We are all people who have witnessed death happening around us 1.0, and we would never want it to happen a second time."

"And what about Zero? And Bruce?"

"There are many people who want you dead, and many natural killers. Perhaps you can tell me why Zero was the only one left to participate in this game."

Zi Busheng's eyes held a smile, as if he had already seen through Sima Di's actions.

“As for Bruce… you may not have wanted him to participate, so you shifted your focus to someone else. But Zero told me that in your room, among the 117 backup candidates, Bruce was the first one.”

"You've met Zero?"

“I’ve seen them. And I know the whereabouts of everyone else. Do you need them?”

"Now that you know where everyone is, aren't you going to consider gathering them together and finding a way back?"

99 Your Little Follower

“But you should know that only Spade knows the way back. And I believe we would all like to see Spade completely destroyed.” There was a hint of hatred in Zibu’s eyes. “If my reasoning is correct, the deaths we have witnessed are the effects of the Death Game. That is, the threats from the survivors of the Death Game throughout the ages… We thirteen are all indirect victims of the Spade Game.”

Emperor Sima remained silent and did not speak.

Because Murasaki's reasoning is very close to the truth.

"Heart, you may be selfish, dragging all thirteen of us into the abyss just to prove your conclusion to that person. But at the same time, you also gave us the opportunity to understand the truth and resolve our inner conflicts. We are grateful to you, trust you... but we don't like you."

After Zi Busheng finished speaking, he stared straight at Emperor Sima.

Those sharp eyes seemed to want to dig out all the secrets and darkness that Sima Di had hidden.

"This conclusion may sound harsh, but it's true." Sima Di gave a wry smile and handed the USB drive to Zi Busheng. "Now let me see what this USB drive 14 has that can bring down Spades."

"of course."

-

After inserting the USB drive into the computer, it only contained two TXT files, each a few hundred kilobytes in size.

One of them was a string of numbers that looked like a password.

The other one was filled with nonsensical words.

When the monkey brought the golden apple, war began to spread.

The undead demon grips the traitor's soul tightly in its left hand.

He grabbed his own neck with his right hand.

He appeared before the people, only to die in the 1001st massacre.

-

The cat and the black wolf are ordered to open a used Pandora's box.

Because there's still hope at the bottom of the box.

The white wolf opened the secret passage to the magic box for them.

But they encountered the guardians of the magic box, the "Five Poisons."

But the cat and the black wolf were fearless.

They first killed the spider and the centipede.

It also caused the toad and the snake to kill each other.

The non-venomous scorpion was the last to die.

-

Black Wolf and White Wolf were never twins.

Scorpions prefer a fatal strike, while snakes prefer to take their time.

Only piranhas kept in cages are truly useful.

-

Besides these, there are many other similar cryptic statements.

"It seems to be using animals as a metaphor for something. This thing looks a bit like... a prophecy?" Sima Di was somewhat uncertain.

"This thing is not just a prophecy, it's also a weapon to destroy Spades. But not now..."

Zi Busheng dragged the document to the end, where there were only four simple characters. However, both Sima Di and Zi Busheng immediately understood their meaning.

3D2Y.

"3D2Y, the symbol Luffy uses to notify his crew to reunite two years later. It seems this prophet also knows something about it. And those Spade guys can be arrogant for another two years."
