In Buddhism, there were five precepts.
These were not profound things. Even ordinary Buddhists who were not monks or nuns had to abide by these five precepts. Otherwise, they would be regarded as depraved and would not be able to enter the Western Paradise. Many people had heard of these five precepts.
In the Great Obscuri Maze, the first level tempted people to kill, the second level tempted people to lie, and the third level tempted people to drink … These were the most obvious structures.
"I see. Does each level of the maze correspond to a precept?"
Ziyuan suddenly understood, but then she became depressed. "No, wait. I'm afraid those automaton maids can't even be counted as living beings. Can this be counted as killing?"
"The entire Great Obscuri is under the control of Gammo. If he sets those maids as living beings, then we can only agree."
Ryuga said calmly, "Now it seems that we have only broken the precept of not killing. We haven't broken the precepts of not talking nonsense and not drinking. It's best not to break the precepts in the future."
It seemed that Tachika Fujimaru's kindness was in the right place.
Her character of not being willing to attack enemies who had no desire to attack made her unconsciously avoid breaking the precepts.
In the Great Obscuri, there was no doubt that the deeper one broke the precepts and the more precepts one broke, the easier it was to step into the trap set by Gammo.
"But what's the point of this?"
Parvati tilted her head and asked in confusion, "We have destroyed many maids here, but I don't see any bad consequences. What's the purpose of Gammo setting up the five precepts?"
"Who knows?"
Ryuga shook her head and replied noncommittally, "According to the rules of Buddhism, it should be to make those who break the precepts fall. The purpose of this is not clear, but to be on the safe side, it's best not to break the five precepts."
"Mr. Yin-yang is right."
Yagyuu Munetsugu nodded silently. "If it's Gammo's conspiracy to make us break the precepts, then this must be a trap. We can't step into it knowing it's a trap."
There were no idiots among them who liked to court death. Hearing this, they all nodded and agreed with this approach.
Only the students from the School of Killing seemed a little unhappy.
She had already discovered some clues on the first level and understood the principles behind the Five Precepts on the second level. She had originally wanted to feign ignorance and let them struggle on for a while. Then, she would stand out like a savior and point out the crux of the problem to gain Tachika Fujimaru's admiration.
She didn't expect that this secret would be exposed just by coming to the third level. This made her feel a little awkward, and she thought that it would have been better if she had said it earlier.
This was not a difficult thing to do. Parvati and Yagyuu Munenori would definitely see this when they entered the fourth and fifth levels.
There was nothing special about it. She was just a little angry that that guy had ruined her plans again.
"I understand, but the smell of alcohol is so strong here!"
Tachika Fujimaru pinched her nose and said in a low, muffled voice, "I already feel that my head has become dizzy. It's just the smell of alcohol, so it shouldn't count as drinking and breaking the precepts, right?"
The few of them looked at each other with uncertainty.
"Then let's set up a barrier."
Ryuga raised her hand and wrote a mobile barrier to isolate the smell of alcohol on Tachika Fujimaru's body, and let her hide inside.
"I really can't smell it anymore. Thank you, Ryuga Jann!"
Tachika Fujimaru's nose twitched. Sure enough, she didn't smell the pungent smell of alcohol. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's continue going deeper!"
Haruhi rubbed his hands together, eager to teach Kamo a lesson.
The construction of the third level of the maze was not as inhumane as the second level. Whether it was the passageway or the room at the end, the layout was very normal.
However, as Ryuga led them deeper, the smell of alcohol in the air became stronger and stronger.
"It's like forcing people to drink. This attempt is too straightforward."
Parvati ridiculed with a subtle expression, "I dare say that the rule of this level is that the more alcohol there is, the easier it is to move forward."
"You guessed right."
Ryuga's eyes were still flashing with a rainbow light when she heard this.
According to her calculations, the stronger the smell of alcohol on this level, the easier it was to find the passageway forward. The exit was also where the smell of alcohol was the strongest.
This attempt was too straightforward, so much so that Ryuga felt that it was inappropriate.
Judging from the level of evil humans, was this the extent of her scheme?
Admittedly, the Five Precepts was a good design, but the intention was too simple. It even made Ryuga suspect Kamo's intentions. It was as if he didn't care if this design was exposed or not.
Thinking about the few beasts that had appeared so far, the despair that Tiamat had brought to people, and the huge conspiracy that the Getia people had set ablaze made people feel that this kind of major matter was something that beasts should be doing.
Needless to say, Murayama was the only person who had ever killed Tachika Fujimaru. It was just that Meltélise used the rules of the computer world to reverse time.
In comparison, Kamo's scheme seemed very low-level.
Was she being too conceited, or was there an even more terrifying conspiracy behind the design of the Five Abstinences?
These were not known for the time being, so they could only continue to explore deeper.
Under the lead of Ryuga, the group easily found the room in the deepest part of the third level.
"Oh! There's a servant in there! And it's Chaldea's servant! "
Ziyuan scanned the room and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be that he's trapped here like Elder Liu Sheng?"
Tachika Fujimaru suddenly felt refreshed. After being here for so long, she finally saw other Chaldea's servants. She hoped that they had not been assimilated by Big Quinn.
They pushed the door open and walked into the room. They saw two slightly familiar figures.
Both of them were rare beauties. On the left was a Middle Eastern beauty with tanned skin and a very plump figure. The other was a beauty wearing a revealing yellow evening gown with a similarly plump figure.
They did not know if it was a coincidence or not, but both of them had very good figures and were not inferior to Musashi's at all. Moreover, their clothes were unusually revealing and provocative.
"Miss Sam Ruzod and Miss Mata Hali?"
When Tachika Fujimaru saw the two figures, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and greeted them with joy.
"That's great, the two of you are safe and sound …"
But before she could take two steps, a scabbard stopped in front of her and blocked her way.
"Wait, my lord."
Yagyuu Munetsugu's eyes were cold and sharp as he blocked Tachika Fujimaru behind him.
"Don't you think it's strange? Since these two are also Chaldea's servants, why aren't they locked in a pillar or a wall like me? "
That's right.
Sam Ruzod and Mata Hali were just kneeling on the table cushion. There were several bottles of mellow wine on the low table next to them, as if they were waiting to serve someone.
"Ah, isn't this the general? Please come in, come in. How can you stand outside? Please drink to warm your stomach! "
