Trap?
Hostage?
Doubts flashed over Song Shi's clear eyes.
The young lady of Song Shi Family didn't understand what Kieran meant, so she asked in a testing manner.
"You are referring to the sudden battle just now?"
It was the only thing Song Shi could think of.
The entry of the Inhumans and the monsters were separated.
It was just like how normal Herders were the first to enter this place.
In fact, not just this Battle of Winter Night, it was the same for all the previous Battles of Winter Night.
The Battle of Winter Night had always tended to take care of the common Herders.
In simple words, the main characters of the Battle of Winter Night would never be the common Herders.
"That was just a smokescreen.
From the moment we entered yesterday, the sky turned dark and the day turned bright. All the killings were just to set up this smokescreen, to lure the impulsive Inhumans and monsters into a chaotic battle.
"They need this chaotic battle to attract everyone's attention."
You guys are just a distraction, the people outside are the main focus. "
Kieran shook his head.
"Smokescreen?
Attracting the people outside?
Royan, what did you find? "
Song Shi wasn't an idiot, Kieran's words were enough to alarm the young lady.
"I've discovered an existence here that can change the sky and change the world."
On top of that, there is a complete city and class system in the underground.
More importantly, the existence that can change the world has a partnership with the manager of the underground city. "
Kieran sounded calm but Song Shi's face turned sour.
As the young lady of Song Shi Family, she knew a lot more than the common Herders, especially some secret knowledge.
Changing the sky and changing the sun!
It was inconceivable in the eyes of others, impossible to achieve.
However, Song Shi knew some existences that could achieve it.
Based on what she knew, none of the existences would appear in this place, nor would they have any connection with the monsters and monsters here.
If an existence that could change the world could form a connection with the monsters and monsters here …
Song Shi didn't dare to imagine anymore.
If they were the main characters of this place before this, with the appearance of the existence that could change the world, they weren't even part of the supporting cast.
They would at most be minor characters.
Or …
Cannon fodder!
Song Shi knew how strong the participants of the Battle of Winter Night were.
She was not the strongest.
But he could definitely be ranked in the top ten. So what if he was ranked in the top ten?
In the face of the existence that could change the world, he was no different from a child.
As for Kieran lying to her?
Although Song Shi hated Kieran, what she hated was Kieran's cold personality. She never suspected that Kieran would lie to others.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Song Shi asked.
Kieran didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Paladia.
Paladia was shocked by Kieran's words. He took a few deep breaths before he came back to his senses.
"I've never connected these things together."
"I was wondering why Mr. Royan attacked the freaks and asked who was the strongest among the mutants."
"Now, I understand."
"Miss Song Shi, this is what happened …"
Paladia smiled bitterly.
Paladia wasn't the only one who understood, Pangnard beside him also reacted to the situation after Kieran mentioned the existence that could change the world. The Herder from the bay area lowered his voice and explained to Lucan beside him.
Following Pangnard's explanation and Paladia's narration, Lucan's expression turned heavy like never before.
"Someone set up this Battle of Winter Night?
We have all become prey? "
Lucan said in a heavy tone.
"Prey?
That would be the best outcome. "
"What I'm worried about is …"
"We have become sacrifices!"
Pangnard said with a pale face.
After hearing what Pangnard said, everyone else, other than Kieran and the two monsters, looked ugly.
It wasn't just because they knew what Pangnard said made sense, they also knew what would happen to them if they became sacrifices.
If a normal death was terrifying, then the death of a sacrificial offering would be worse than death.
They wouldn't be able to rest in peace even after death!
No one wanted to become a sacrificial lamb!
"But this Battle of Winter Night is organized by that lord!"
"How could he do such a thing?"
Song Shi furrowed her brows, her face filled with disbelief.
Not just Song Shi, even Lucan, Pangnard, and Paladia who heard rumors about that lord shared the same reaction.
From their point of view, that lord would never do such a thing, nor did he have any reason to do such a thing.
The lord was highly respected in the mystical realm.
Not only did the Herders and Inhumans respect him, but even the monsters also respected him.
Because the lord truly treated everyone equally.
He would never side with any side at any time.
Even when his family made a mistake, it was the same.
Therefore, a lot of times, whenever something difficult to decide happened, the lord would step up and deal with it.
Every time, everyone and the freaks were satisfied with the results.
But now, the Battle of Winter Night that the lord organized had such a huge flaw, it was hard to accept.
The location was chosen by the lord.
Didn't he know what was inside?
It was impossible.
And …
What was the lord trying to do?
Did he really treat them as sacrifices?
Questions popped up in everyone's heart one after another.
Then, everyone naturally looked at Kieran.
At that moment, everyone's hearts were in a mess. They had already treated Kieran as their leader, but Kieran ignored their gazes. He took out another lunchbox and placed it beside the bonfire.
The heat from the fire made the grease inside sizzle.
Kieran looked at the lunch box with anticipation.
He really wanted to know what kind of food would be inside the lunch box this time.
There was the smell of beef.
There was also the smell of sweet onion.
There was even a hint of tomato in the mix.
Beef brisket stew?
Kieran wondered in his heart.
As for comforting the crowd?
They weren't Starbeck, why should he comfort them?
More so, from Kieran's point of view, since they chose to participate in the Battle of Winter Night, they should be prepared for the worst.
Even if things were to get worse, they should face it calmly, not live in fear.
Besides …
Things were far from the worst!
