I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Buzz, buzz.

The stone door slowly opened, and a bright scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

This was a garden built in an underground cave, with ancient ruins remaining.

The cave was exceptionally wide, like a small forest.

There were multiple exits at the top of the cave, and light poured down from the openings above, forming rays of light in the forest.

This was the "Garden of Suffering," the sealed land of the Abyssal Lord's remnant.

The Baron told everyone that the seal was here, but it was hidden by the Suffering Secret Society.

To reveal the seal, they needed to adjust the magic arrays in the garden first.

The eight people were divided into three groups to adjust the arrays: Catherine, Roland, Nael, and Anna in one group; Wallace and the three new recruits in another; and Hall and Renard in the last.

After the adjustments were completed, everyone would regroup in the center of the garden.

After discussing the plan, the eight people began to move separately.

Roland knew that if they wanted to get out alive, they had to be united, and at least he and Catherine had to trust each other.

So, it was time to talk to Catherine.

Roland used telepathy to quietly touch the senior's spiritual world, and then a powerful mental force invaded Roland's mind.

Immediately afterward, Catherine's voice appeared in Roland's mind: ["Did you find something?"]

Roland replied: ["Mentor, let me ask first, if that thing has already come out, do you have the confidence to deal with it?"]

Catherine said: ["That Abyssal Lord has never truly descended, otherwise the Valeria territory would already be finished.

So, what the predecessors dealt with was only His projection or incarnation — not to mention that this incarnation is already extremely weak, even if that Abyssal Lord personally descends..."]

She was interrupted by Roland before she finished speaking: ["Senior! Now is not the time for you to brag!

Even if that incarnation is already so weak, the four of you still might not be His match, right?"]

Roland's repeated use of "Senior" made Catherine very angry, but she still suppressed her anger and said: ["Whether we can deal with Him is not something you need to worry about.

You just need to tell us who He is."]

After a pause, she added: ["We should still have a 50% chance of dealing with Him."]

Roland sighed inwardly.

How could he not know that Catherine's claim of a 50% chance of winning was to reassure him?

Their actual chance of winning was definitely less than 50%.

However, Roland could tell that Catherine and Baron Hall were prepared to die.

That was enough.

Since his teammates were so determined, there was no need for him to hide anything.

Roland said: ["There is one extra person among us.

This person is the Abyssal Lord's incarnation."]

Catherine said: ["I guessed it.

You wouldn't have only seen this much, would you?"]

Roland sneered: ["Okay, now take out the thing you usually use to monitor me, check the members of the team, and count our numbers."]

Catherine frowned, took out a crystal ball, and checked each member of the team, then said their names.

After counting, she said: ["There are eight people in total, what's wrong?"]

Roland closed his eyes and sighed deeply, saying: ["Senior, you counted wrong, there are nine of us."]

["How is that possible?"] Mentor Catherine was stunned.

She looked at the crystal ball and counted again: ["1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and me, there are eight in total.

There are eight numbers between 1 and 8.

There is nothing wrong with my cognition, there are indeed eight of us, not nine."]

Roland said: ["Catherine, I am a Seer, you have to believe the Seer's words."]

Catherine's expression became a little strange.

She still remembered her previous conversation with the Baron.

In her eyes, the Baron was a fool with only muscles in his brain.

In Roland's eyes, she was no different from Baron Hall.

Catherine suddenly asked with a strange expression: ["Is there really something wrong with my cognition?

Or is there a logic of the underlying world in your words?"]

Roland replied: ["Yes, are you sure you want to hear it?"]

Catherine hesitated, and after a moment she spat out a word: ["Say."]

Roland said: ["Okay, be mentally prepared."]

Roland's next words began to make Catherine lose SAN.

He said: ["There are indeed eight of us, but now eight people are nine numbers — before we entered the ruins, 1 to 8 were eight numbers, but after we came in, there was one more number between 1 and 8!

Therefore, we eight people are nine people!"]

Catherine was a mess.

She said: ["Roland, either you're crazy, or I'm crazy."]

Roland's words were like telling people that there was an integer between 3 and 4.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to accept it.

As everyone knows, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees, but in non-Euclidean geometry, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is greater than 180 degrees.

In the surface world, there is indeed no integer between 3 and 4.

But in the underlying world, there is an integer between 3 and 4.

The remnant of the Abyssal Lord is the integer inserted between 3 and 4.

For creatures of the surface world, they cannot count the numbers between 3 and 4.

So, for Catherine and the others, God is indescribable.

Therefore, no matter how many times they count, they will treat it as 3 or 4.

Therefore, even though there are clearly 9 people in the team, they say there are only 8.

Roland said: ["Let's not discuss who of us is crazy, count our numbers again."]

Catherine had been with Roland for some time, and she knew that there would never be anything wrong with this guy's cognition.

If she ever felt that he said something unusual, it must be because she was not intelligent enough to understand.

Her face flushed red, she put away the crystal ball and said irritably: ["Count, count what?

Stop talking nonsense, I don't understand what you're talking about, I only know how to kill!

You tell me who He is, I'll kill Him, and we'll go back to the academy!"]

Roland nodded and said: ["Okay, then I'll tell you now, Counselor Renard is that demon."]

Mentor Catherine showed a stunned expression.

She believed Roland's words, but she couldn't understand why Renard would be a demon.

["Roland, that's impossible, I've known Renard for many years, how could he be a demon?"]

Roland said again: ["Okay, I'll tell you why he's a demon.

Every time you count the numbers, you calculate it like this:

— Roland, two new recruits, Wallace, a total of 4 support.

— Catherine, Anna, Nael, Baron, 4 main forces!

You have never counted Renard into the team!

But you think he is our teammate!

There's something wrong with your cognition!

There's something wrong with Renard!"]

Previously, the 'Aleyah Manuscript' gave two prophecies in 'The Seer's Choice'.

In Prophecy A, if the Seer Roland chooses to remain silent and not identify the werewolf, then the result is certain team annihilation.

In Prophecy B, if the Seer Roland stands up to identify the werewolf, it is certain to be a narrow escape from death.

Roland's current choice is to choose B.

He directly identified the demon and gave a clear logic.

But his logic could not be recognized by his teammates.

Mentor Catherine said this: ["Roland, we have always counted Renard into the team."]

To prove her words, she took out the crystal ball again and counted each one in front of Roland.

She said: ["Look, these are two new recruits — 2 people.

This is Wallace, this is you — 4 people.

Next is me, Anna, Nael, Baron — 8 people.

Look, I just counted Renard, and he is among us 8 people — there have always been 8 of us, not 9."]

Roland nodded deeply: ["Go back and take some medicine, Senior."]

Catherine: ["..."]

Roland finally understood at this moment why people clearly saw many indescribable things in the midst of the eerie, but could not describe them.

The newest and fastest novels are at 69shu.com!

Because even if some people use clear logic to describe indescribable things, others will not understand.

People who have not witnessed the underlying world can never count the numbers between 3 and 4.

People with trichromatic vision will never see the splendid world that those with tetrachromatic vision can see.

He was such a person with a tetrachromatic vision system.

In his eyes, everyone else was blind.

But in the eyes of others, was he not a madman?

Roland stopped arguing with the Senior about the Abyssal Demon.

He said: "Senior, I can't say any more, let's end our topic here.

If you believe me, then believe me, if you don't believe me... I've tried my best."

Catherine was very smart, she almost instantly understood why Roland couldn't say any more.

Because only beings from the underlying world can understand these logics!

So, is Roland a werewolf after all?

Catherine closed her eyes and thought carefully, then she shook her head deeply.

Roland can indeed see things in the underlying world, but that doesn't mean he is an evil god — even if he is an evil god, he is not the evil god in this ruin.

The time, place, and identity are all wrong.

Even the Aleyah Manuscript was given to him by herself!

At times like these, others may doubt him, but he cannot doubt himself!

Catherine opened her eyes and said, "Roland, I truly don't understand what you're saying today, but I believe in you!"
