Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 938 - 290 Is the Traitor the Rebel Leader?_3

Chapter 938 -290 Is the Traitor the Rebel Leader?_3

[Hero] A card master passing through is destined to shine brightly.

A person with the traits of a hero cannot hide their brilliance in times of danger.

Even when drowned in a crowd, they would be discovered due to the shining traits they possess.

Therefore, a “crisis” is needed.

And now, the situation is still not dangerous enough.

Leonard Churchill’s slightly narrowed eyes brimmed with a hint of insight.

The halo of the “Gambler of Misfortune” had always brought him good luck in desperate situations.

Leonard Churchill continued, “However, before that, we still have some things to do. In a few hours, the official army’s encirclement will completely close in, and we must find a way to root out the traitor. Only then can we seize some initiative in the plot progression. And this traitor is the only possibility I can see right now for triggering an ‘S-grade Plot’…”

Upon hearing this, Allen immediately questioned, “But if we don’t find ‘Goron,’ even if we trigger the S-grade quest, we won’t survive.”

“…”

Leonard Churchill’s brows tightened upon hearing this.

This is why he didn’t like working with unfamiliar people.

Too much needs to be explained for trust and unconditional cooperation to be gained.

Of course, this guy’s concerns were normal.

A normal person would think about whether they can survive after triggering a quest.

But Leonard Churchill’s thought process was always that the joy brought by exploring the unknown came first.

He couldn’t explain this.

He initially didn’t want to waste words explaining, but Alice, as if reading something, quickly explained, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, please don’t misunderstand, Allen meant no offense. Mr. Aragon asked us to follow your advice throughout. We have absolute trust in you. We will unconditionally cooperate with your plan.”

As she spoke, she earnestly looked at Leonard Churchill and asked, “What do you need us to do? Just command us.”

Although this woman hadn’t quite understood, she was quite clever.

It seemed as though she hadn’t asked anything, but Leonard Churchill couldn’t well ignore her question.

He could only say, “Go and tell the leader Batis that I have found some crucial ‘traitorous intelligence.’ Try to get as many of the Rebel Army’s higher-ups to gather together. I’ll create conditions to reveal some information. At that point, I’ll need your skill to identify who the traitor is. If we’re lucky, we might directly find…”

“You mean to tell them directly about the ‘traitor’?”

Alice, hearing this plan, not only found it unfeasible but expressed her concern: “What I mean is… we’ve tried this method before, but those plot characters completely ignore anything we say about this Waren City battle being an official conspiracy…”

“Hmm. I know.”

There was no surprise in Leonard Churchill’s response as he allowed a slight curve to form at the corner of his mouth, “I have an idea…”

Because not just them had tried it.

Many who came to the Alternate Dimension before had tried this method.

They would tell the Rebels’ Non-Player Characters that it was a military trap after entering the dimension.

But the fact is, the NPCs “couldn’t hear” those words.

So, intelligence said that the rule of the space is you can’t spoil to NPCs what doesn’t belong to the current progress of the plot.

Leonard Churchill once didn’t understand why, and thought it was a spatial rule.

Only after touching upon “I am the world” did he realize it was a sophisticated cosmic operation law.

“Effect” is the continuation of “Cause” at some future time point.

And the essence of spoiling is to mention an “Effect” that hasn’t yet occurred, to influence the “Cause.”

This concept itself is contradictory.

The notion disregards a premise—that information needs to involve causal lines within the same world.

Adventurers are outsiders, like readers of a book, bringing information from a godly perspective.

Their fate lines and those of the Alternate Dimension are like two parallel lines, with no intersection at all.

It’s only because of the Spatial Will that they are forcibly integrated into the storyline.

So the “Effects” that are spoiled, lacking the necessary “Cause” from the same world.

Without intersecting causal lines, NPCs can’t comprehend information beyond their dimension.

It’s like readers facing an anxious storyline, telling the characters “you should do this” or “you should do that,” but the characters can’t hear and will still follow the original plotline.

And it was during those days in Flood Gang, playing poker with Noah Wright, that Leonard Churchill deepened his understanding of the world.

He saw the essence of the “ban on spoiling” space rule.

….

After discovering this law, Leonard Churchill didn’t see the “spoiler” approach as entirely useless like others did.

Instead, he hypothesized conditions to make this approach workable.

Leonard Churchill believed that every move an adventurer made could affect the direction of the plot.

So it wasn’t that spoilers were impossible.

It was just that the Spatial Will believed your spoiling method was incorrect.

Telling the NPC directly is not allowed by the rules.

This type of rule limitation felt like AI devices in Leonard Churchill’s previous life.

If you ask it “where I can find a massage parlor,” under the influence of rules, it would say “I don’t know.”

But if you ask, “I don’t want to go to a massage parlor, which places should I avoid?” it would be able to give you specific names of places.

This isn’t considered a bug in the system but rather using the rules themselves to exploit them.

….

“Ah? You mean to say…”

In the study, both Alice and Allen were dumbstruck.

The plan was explained in just a few sentences.

But Leonard Churchill’s thinking was very complex.
