    When everyone heard about the incredible even-numbered dates in this city, everyone said that they were unreasonable. Xiao Qinxian's reaction was the fastest: "If that's the case, then we don't have 13 days at all! Now it is two days to combine. One day has passed!"

    Yu Ji was also surprised: "13 days should be split in half, and that is 6 and a half days! Throw it away today, we have 5 and a half days left!"

    Xiao Qinxian's face paled again: "If we die at the rate of two people in one day, we can kill 12 of us in six days. In the last half a day..." Xiao Qinxian looked at Rowe sitting in the corner, "Probably left it to the outside world. Human."

    Rowe sneered unconsciously. The woman was at this point, and she didn't forget to release her malice.

    "Let’s eat first, there are a lot of things to discuss together after the meal." Qin Ci has already started to dine and reminded everyone, "Don’t drink the wine here. I don’t know if there is a problem with the wine or the city has changed people. Now, a little bit of alcohol may make you drunk."

    "This city is really intoxicating." Wei Dong ate the spring cakes rolled in his hands, but couldn't help shaking his hands slightly-no one can predict who will be leaving tonight.

    Maybe it's because of a worry, everyone hastily finished eating.

    Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran and said to everyone: "I think everyone’s most concern now is: How can we get 13 kilograms of scarlet beasts within the specified time; if the beast in someone’s body produces murderous intent tonight, what is there? Ways can be prepared to avoid the scourge of killing."

    Everyone's expressions are in favor, including the picky Xiao Qinxian.

    Mu Yiran went on to say: "If you change to a more understandable term, the first problem is that everyone must try their best to get 13 kilograms of beasts from outside our group. The second problem is..."

    Before Mu Yiran's words were finished, everyone was surprised by it. After careful consideration, this was the only feasible way.

    No one is willing to pay for the beast in his body at the expense of sacrifice, and besides, not everyone in the member group has beasts in their bodies.

    Ke Xun looked at Mu Yiran next to him, and couldn't believe that such a fierce truth would come from him.

    Yu Ji subconsciously looked at the guests around him. Fortunately, no one noticed this, so he lowered his voice and said, "Fortunately, we have Rowe. He can see if there are animal marks on other people’s faces. It’s that simple What happened, why didn't we think of it earlier! Why do we have to wait for the beast to tear its own body?! We have Rowe, and Doctor Qin, we are so crowded, we can pick a role."

    As Yu Ji said, she was shocked by her own ruthlessness, and couldn't help but shudder with excitement because of this thought: "The big guy is the big guy, and he is sure and ruthless when he strikes!"

    Ke Xun didn't want others to misunderstand his boss in this way, so he said to the boss, "Yan, what's your idea? How can we get beasts from the people around us, and we have to be legal."

    "What are you still considering? It's a time when our lives are at stake!" Yu Ji was a little anxious, looking at the darkening sky outside the window, his fear of death became bit by bit in his mind.

    "We are now located in a city with law and order, and the police station is opposite this restaurant. No one will condone us to do such nonsense." Zhu Haowen said.

    Mu Yiran looked at Qin Ci: "I read some information in your office this afternoon. As a wealth resource,'beasts' are allowed to be bought and sold. Some family members do not agree to sell the beasts in the dead to the government. Part is for collection, most of them want to wait for the peak season to sell for a good price."

    Qin Ci frowned upon hearing this: "Which book is this written?"

    Mu Yiran smiled faintly: "It's not the content of the book, but the advertisements on the back cover of some magazines, the propaganda of various auctions about the scarlet beast, and how high the price of the beast with its special appearance is. There are instructions."

    "Oh my god, this is simply an antique painting in our world!" Su Benxin couldn't help but sighed, "Mr. Mu, you mean we sell the two beasts in our hands..."

    Everyone gasped, but they couldn't hold back their excitement. This excitement was somewhat evil.

    Mu Yiran looked at Zhao Yanbao: "I hope this topic will not make you unhappy."

    Zhao Yanbao: "Chi Lei has let go. The beast is like a container full of negative emotions. It doesn't make sense for me to store it for a limited period of 5 and a half days... If it really saves more people. , Chi Lei’s Spirit in Heaven will also agree."

    Zhao Yanbao looked at Mu Yiran: "Is it written in those materials, what value are these beasts worthy of people chasing like this?"

    "It is not written clearly. People only say that these scarlet beasts are the symbol of the whole heart city, so they are precious." Mu Yiran's expression was slightly teased, "Even in our world, people are chasing at high prices. Yes, is it really worth the money."

    "What are you going to do?" Ke Xun asked this time, "Try to sell the two beasts in our hands at a high price, and then use the money to buy heavier beasts?"

    "That's almost what it means, or we can find a more direct beast trading market, and directly trade beasts for beasts." Mu Yiran also thought that this was not a comfortable topic, but had to continue.

    "You mean, the value of the beast here is not determined by weight?" Ke Xun asked.

    "Yes, the heavier is more precious than the heavier, but if it encounters the peculiar appearance, the buyer will not value weight so much." Mu Yiran is unwilling to show his commercial side to Ke Xun, it is purely a last resort at this moment And for this, "In short, the beast with accessories is very rare, I believe it will be more valuable."

    "What is a beast with accessories?" Wei Dong didn't understand.

    Mu Yiran further explained: "For example, the snail shell of the Ji Sun beast, or the rope used to tie the Chi Lei beast. Such beasts would be more expensive if they were auctioned together with accessories."

    Everyone gradually understood. Yu Ji sweated from his excitement: "Yes, the old policeman asked us to find a 13kg beast. He only asked for the weight and nothing else! We can use supplies. Exchange the strange beasts for the more common and heavier beasts! If the business is done well, you might be able to trade 13 kilograms!"

    "If you think it is feasible, then we will find the relevant exchange tomorrow." Qin Ci asked everyone.

    No one disputed.

    "But, what should I do tonight?" Wei Dong was scared, not all for himself, but more anxious for his partners. "You have red marks on your foreheads, if something happens tonight...according to the drawing Rules, every night..."

    "Yes, this is the second question I just mentioned. How to guard against the beast tonight. This question is currently the most difficult to solve, because the beasts we know should be their own demons. This thing is not random. You can defeat it casually." Qin Ci still turned his attention to Mu Yiran, "I wonder if Xiao Mu has thought of a countermeasure?"

    "What we can do now is to try our best to understand the formation of the beast, and to further find the weakness of the beast." Mu Yiran did not think of a better solution for this. "Today, I thought of a clue about Chi Lei's life. The title page of "The Scarlet Beast" by Yukio Mishima mentioned earlier, which mentioned that the "Scarlet Beast" was selected from Chapter 17 of the Book of Revelation.-I don't know if this source can give us more information. Many hints."

    Ke Xun asked: "Who knows what Chapter 17 of "Revelation" says?"

    Su Benxin: "Big harlot."

    "..."

    "There are also translations, big harlots and scarlet beasts." Su Benxin said further.

    Ke Xun held a cold lemonade glass in both hands: "Is there any symbolic meaning?"

    "There are some European sects and politics at the time. I don't understand the specific divisions, but it should have nothing to do with our theme. This woman has the words'Mystery! Babylon the Great' on her forehead, which means Satan’s'Babylonian city'.” Su Benxin knew that talking too much would only make everyone more confused, so he tried to keep the story short.

    "Babylon? Is it Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations?" Yu Ji interjected.

    "No, the city of the devil built by Satan is called the Great City of Babylon and has nothing to do with that ancient civilization."

    Ke Xun suddenly asked: "You just said, on that woman's forehead?"

    "For those words that were extremely rebellious to the religion of the time, they were written on the women's foreheads." Su Benxin suddenly understood what Ke Xun meant. "You mean, the words on women's foreheads and those on the foreheads of people in this city The red trace..."

    All appear on the forehead, this similarity should not be just a coincidence.

    "In addition to women, didn't you mention any scarlet beast? What does that beast look like? Does it have anything to do with the beast we're looking for?" Wei Dong couldn't help asking.

    "That beast has seven heads and ten horns." It was Mu Yiran who answered this time.

    "Hey, Elder Mu knows it too." Wei Dong turned his face toward Su Benxin to Mu Yiran, feeling that he knew it more securely.

    Mu Yiran said: "The appearance of the beast is related to the kings and sects of the Western European Empire at that time. I think these specific histories have little to do with the current situation. The important thing is the origin and deeds of the beast."

    Su Benxin looked at Mu Yiran with interest, expecting the other party to continue.

    Others also stared at Mu Yiran, as if staring at a geeky professor in a certain college...Ke Xun once again experienced the familiar and proud.

    "Regarding the beast, I can only repeat the words in the Book of Revelation: The beast you have seen before, but not now, will come up from the bottomless pit, and will fall into perdition. Anyone who lives on the earth and has a name since the creation Those who are not recorded in the book of life will be amazed to see the beasts that existed before, did not exist now, and will appear in the future.” In order to make everyone hear clearly, Mu Yiran's speaking speed is much slower than before.
