Why it never ends

Chapter 248 Answers
As a novice player, Ende was in high spirits at the moment. She couldn't wait to throw a bunch of questions at Hesta, and Hesta answered them one by one. However, for some reason, Ende this time was still the same as last time. A few questions got to the point.

"Accept the reality," Victoria patted Ende on the shoulder, "Everyone only has one novice luck, and it's gone when it's used up."

"I've been asking questions conscientiously," Endai was not discouraged, "You've been fishing around and laughing at me!"

"How did I fish, I was just thinking."

"Then what did you come up with?"

Victoria leaned back as usual, looked at the chandelier on the ceiling, and said in a low voice: "...If there is no 'sacrifice' plot, I have a puzzle that fits well."

Hesta asked curiously, "What?"

"A... isolated city during wartime." Victoria replied.

Some people present have already understood it, and Trisha was the first to realize what Victoria was talking about. She didn't reveal it, but just listened silently.

Victoria put her arms around her arms: "In the beginning, everyone was able to eat normally. Later, due to the shortage of food, some people began to steal and eat the corpses of their own kind. After that, people killed each other, and people cannibalized each other... I don't think so until this is the case. After that, the lonely city becomes a dead city... No one can survive alone."

After a brief silence, Gray immediately clapped his hands, "Wonderful. It's both unexpected and reasonable."

"Next question, next question!" Tanglar got up to snatch the bell from Hesta's hand, "I'll do the next question."

Hesta took the first step to move the bell to a position out of Tanglar's reach, and the Viscount simply got up from his seat, with an aura of not giving up until he grabbed the bell.

"Endai, continue!" Hesta threw the bell directly to the person diagonally opposite.

"okay."

Seeing that the viscount was about to run near Ende, Ende threw the bell back to Hesta. After going back and forth several times, the bell passed Ende, Hesta, Victoria, and Palan, but nothing happened. It was handed over to Danglars.

"What are you doing! The answer to the riddle has already been guessed!" Tanglar was so angry that his beard was about to stand up, "Give me the bell!"

Palan laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, "What are you doing, Viscount..."

"Victoria's answer is indeed quite reasonable, but that's not my answer." Hesta looked at Palan, "Can one riddle correspond to multiple answers?"

"Yes, yes, as long as you can justify yourself," Palan replied with a smile, "I forgot to say before, if a riddle has multiple answers, then everyone present will be rewarded. It's just that the judge—— That's me, to judge whether the other answers fit logically."

Tanglar was furious on the spot: "How can there be such rules in this broken game!"

"It's available now." Palan blinked, she also pulled away the chair, walked to the side of Tanglar's seat, and poured a glass of wine for Tanglar, "Viscount, if you want to be a mystery Man, can I give you the next two puzzles? Come back, let's wait until this puzzle is over, shall we?"

Danglar cursed and got off the donkey.

When everyone returned to the previous game atmosphere, Victoria suddenly looked at Calvin, "The shepherd seems to have an answer?"

Calvin raised his eyes in surprise—he didn't expect his expression to be noticed by Victoria.Seeing that everyone was looking at him at this moment, Calvin frowned.

"...My answer is the same as Ms. Victoria's, it also lacks the 'sacrifice' plot, and it's a bit far-fetched...I won't mention it, I'll think about it again."

"You can say whatever comes to your mind." Palan laughed, "Didn't Victoria just say it?"

Calvin just shook his head and insisted on not answering.

Just when everyone started to turn to Calvin to make noises, Hesta suddenly interrupted everyone, "Don't you, Mr. Duke, take a guess?"

"...I was a little distracted just now," Villefort whispered, "No... I didn't listen to everyone's discussion..."

"What's the matter," Endai volunteered, "I'll review it for you, I've firmly memorized all the clues—"

"No need." Villefort raised his hand to stop, Ende's words were abruptly cut off in the air, and Villefort's throat moved slightly, "I... I actually... I have a little..."

Before Villefort could finish speaking, Palain had already continued: "The duke is still very good at this game. It can be said that he is extremely talented. He guessed many answers in one breath last night, all of which were not even the one who solved the riddles himself. Thought-of."

"Really." Hesta responded, "It seems that the Duke doesn't like today's game theme very much."

"There is no such thing." Villefort hastily argued, "I just—"

"Then tell me what you think," Palan said with a smile, "It's not like you to push back and forth like this."

This series of conversations was so fast that Villefort felt as if he was being put on a grill. He took out his handkerchief and lightly pressed his forehead.

The whole table was silent.

Victoria had long noticed Villefort's anomaly. She pretended to be indifferent, but paid attention to the Duke's movements.

"You...maybe you have overcomplicated things, that's why...you have guessed for so long." Villefort said in a low voice, "I think Ms. Eureka's puzzle may be... the same as Ms. Teresa's." One makes no difference."

Ende looked puzzled: "But we asked just now, the protagonist in Eureka's story didn't pray for anything for himself."

"Even if it's not for yourself...it can be for other people," Villefort murmured in a low voice, "people close to you, important people, like—"

"Duke." Tanglar growled, startling everyone present.

Villefort woke up like a dream, his eyes were reddish looking at Tanglars, his lips trembled slightly.

"... What's the matter with you?" Hesta asked.

Villefort smiled again. He propped himself on the table and stood up reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I'm really... a little uncomfortable today. Let's go on and leave me alone."

Tanglar also got up. He glanced coldly at all the people present, and snorted coldly: "Today's riddles are quite boring, and I don't bother to listen to them anymore. Goodbye!"

The two left, Ende and Trisha got up to follow at the same time, and disappeared from everyone's sight together.

This sudden change caused the entire hall to be silent.

"...Do you want to continue?" Palan raised his hand and asked in a low voice.

"Others can continue playing if they want to. I suddenly remembered that there is still some work to be done." Victoria stood up, "Let's leave first."
