The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 112: Prediction and Perception (No. 1
Annan and Ghirlandaio were the first to leave the teahouse.
To be more precise... he fled the scene of the crime.
"Uncle, what do you think?"
Annan took a deep breath and made a heavy sound.
Beside him, the wizard Ghirandaio of the Prophet School gently patted his shoulder.
"It'll be okay."
The middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes replied firmly: "Because they can't fight."
He has thick curly hair, his eyes are as deep as if they were burned deeply, and his face is as profound as a statue.
"Are you so sure?"
"Natural."
Ghirlandaio replied with great conviction: "That's why it's even more important to exclude variables."
"Variable?"
"Well... you can understand it as variables in terms of nature, quantity, intensity, etc. on the basic things that have been fixed..."
"No, it's not that I don't understand the word."
Annan shook his head and asked: "What I mean is. Does the prophecy spell need to exclude variables?"
"...most of the time, yes."
Ghirlandaio nodded and asked with some confusion: "Doesn't the Zedi Black Tower have a tutor in the prophecy department?"
Before Annan could answer, he explained, with a tone like a mentor: "To put it simply, the abilities and spells of the prophecy system can be roughly divided into two categories. One is prediction, and the other is perception.
“The ability to predict is to proactively search for event information in ‘future recording points’.
"For example, you give me two numbers at will and ask me to calculate the result... Because I can definitely calculate this problem, and its result is uniquely certain. So I can skip the process now, Directly predict its outcome.
"Similarly, predicting ballistics, predicting answers, and predicting the heads and tails of coins are all very simple abilities, and they don't even require casting spells. But things like predicting who I will meet today, and predicting where we will go next are more complicated. Many... To put it simply, as long as predictions other than one's own are included, the difficulty and consumption will suddenly increase, and the error rate will also increase."
"In general, the more fixed and unique the answer is, the easier it is to obtain the result. The more variable the process, the more difficult it is to predict.
"For example, I can predict what you just wanted to say..."
Ghirlandaio stared at Annan, thought for a while and said: "You want to say, 'Is human thought a variable', right? The answer is, 'Yes'."
——Yes.
Annan nodded.
Although there are some general differences...for example, what he wants to ask is actually "Do you want to exclude the variable of 'thought'?"
This slight error should come from Ghirlandaio's misunderstanding of Annan and Gerald.
"So, you can see the future briefly?"
Annan asked.
“It’s about seeing the short future,” the uncle corrected. “What we can know is only the information ‘what we can know’.
"As long as the uncertain nodes that affect the future are clear, we can see the results in advance... which is the future in my eyes."
Ghirlandaio said, glanced at the tea room, and then glanced at Annan with deep meaning: "As long as we all leave, they will definitely not be able to fight; and if you and Her Royal Highness Maria stay inside, , there is a high probability that they will fight...
“But I just took a casual look. I don’t know what will happen next. But I personally prefer to follow the direction of the future that can be determined, rather than changing the future to an unknown direction. Up."
"That's it..."
Annan nodded slowly.
A strange idea suddenly came to his mind.
To confirm this idea, he asked Ghirlandaio: "What about perception?"
"Perception..."
Ghirlandaio sighed in confusion.
His answer this time was very simple: "To put it simply, the teacher suddenly sensed that he was about to die. This is perception. You cannot actively seek answers, and the answers may not be useful, but the results of perception are basically fixed.
"Because several key nodes anchoring the future have already happened, but we didn't notice it... To put it simply, it's too late. It is absolutely impossible to change the future by our own strength. If we want to change, we must start with perception. The predictions obtained from it will have to introduce a lot of variables."
Annan generally understood.
The principle of prophecy spells is basically active or passive, obtaining some fragmented information from your future self.
This is indeed a very versatile spell.
The result of "prediction" is "future possibility", so it can be changed at will.
The result obtained in "Perception" is the "next ending".
It is not the perceived future that cannot be changed.
But it is difficult to shake the tide of fate by relying on your own strength alone.
Annan was silent for a while.
That being the case.
Is their ritual used to change the fate of "Michelangelo was killed"?
——Yes.
So far, there is no conclusive evidence that "Michelangelo is dead."
The reason why they think so is just because the stone statue said so to them when they entered.
But what if the stone statue told lies?
No, it’s not necessarily a lie.
Because that stone statue never said, "Michelangelo is dead" from beginning to end.
Not a word was mentioned.
It only published Michelangelo's suicide note. Michelangelo simply declared, "My murderer is among you."
But what he said was not "the past".
——But what about "the future"?
"Hey, David. Did you...think of something?"
Ghirlandaio said softly.
Annan looked at him and was silent for a while: "What are you referring to?"
"This ritual you're in for us."
The uncle stared at Annan and lowered his voice: "Do you have any special ideas..."
"What are you talking about?"
At this moment, Maria's voice came.
She frowned slightly, crossed her arms and looked at Annan.
On that childish and delicate face, like a top-grade doll, there was undisguised suspicion.
The mute old man Merlin lowered his head and stood behind her listlessly.
But Annan could sense an inexplicable and strong sense of danger from him.
"——The three people discussing it."
Before the uncle spoke, Annan answered first: "As long as we all leave, the three of them will probably not fight."
"Prophecy?"
Maria Coldong nodded thoughtfully, as if she had thought of something.
At this moment, Annan suddenly asked:
"Your Highness Maria, what do you think of our current situation?"
"What are you referring to?"
For some reason, Maria always seems very wary every time she talks to Annan.
She was silent for a while and then replied seriously: "I don't think Melvin will be the only one who died.
"Someone will definitely die next... Everyone should think so. Everyone also knows that there is only one murderer, and it is impossible to kill two people, so they hug each other... Like you, like us , such as Claire and Kim."
"So your idea is that Master Benjamin is the murderer?"
Annan asked.
I want to kill a gold-level wizard.
This transformation master who is infinitely close to the gold level can undoubtedly do it. He hasn't teamed up with anyone yet, so he is the biggest suspect.
But the problem is...
Annan knew from the beginning ~IndoMTL.com~ that Benjamin was innocent.
The reason is the same as Gerald.
Because Benjamin did not die here, nor did he successfully advance. Instead, he returned to the Black Tower alive and recruited new students...for example, Salvatore.
Somewhat surprisingly, Maria shook her head firmly.
"No, I don't think he is the murderer."
She replied.
She looked at Annan and replied without hesitation: "I think...
"The murderer is you."
