"Do you know all the 12 apostles?" Yu Wen let out a cry of surprise.
Zhou Jin coughed for a while and said in a quiet voice: "I study art, so I happened to know a little about it."
It was both supper, and there were 12 apostles. These key words matched perfectly with their current predicament.
Although the several old people present didn't know much about "The Last Supper", the twin elementary school girls called out a name: "Judas!"
"Yes, Judas!" Yu Wen and Yu Yao are not siblings, but they cooperated better than most brothers and sisters.
In "The Last Supper", Judas was an infamous traitor amongst the 12 apostles. There was a feeling that they were getting close to the answer.
Everyone was excited.
However, when one of them picked up the knife, the others cried out: "No, not the name!"
On the long wooden table, each set of tableware had their corresponding number. They shouldn't be writing the name "Judas" on the wall, they should be writing the number corresponding with the glass that contained Judas's name.
The most impatient tattooed man rushed back over to the table. He picked up a glass and started to examine it.
He saw with his own eyes a piece of paper falling out from between the stem and the base but when he held the glass, he couldn't find the paper no matter where he looked.
The tattooed man's eyes were almost in contact with the base of the glass: "Why can't I see anything?"
In fact, it wasn't just him. Everyone had examined the glasses earlier and, if they were able to find it so easily, would they have only found out about it now?
Everyone knew that there was a name hidden in it, but they couldn't see it.
And these glasses were different to the one on the ground. They cannot be smashed or damaged so they cannot open it from the base the way You Huo did.
Yu Wen suddenly smacked his head: "I know!"
"What?"
"Refraction!" Yu Wen exclaimed, "Sister Yu Yao and I wrote about refraction here! The names are in the glasses and the reason why we can't see it is because....uh.....the refraction isn't right! I forgot how to explain it. Anyway, I seem to recall doing a question like this."
Everyone: "...….."
This unlucky child's explanation made them feel despair.
Seeing that he was having so much difficulty just explaining it, it was hard for them to believe that he would know how to solve the problem.
Even so, everyone still held onto their last strand of hope: "What should we do to see it?"
Yu Wen was ashamed: "I....I didn't study physics in second and third year of high school so it's been at least two or three years since I did this question. I....forgot."
"...….."
I damn fucking knew it!
You Huo expressionlessly watched Dumb Yu.
He had originally wanted to tolerate his nonsense for a while, but he saw the invigilators through the corners of his eyes.
922 had dragged out a charcoal bin and had a grill set up. The remaining half a box of precious beef was carefully arranged on the grill.
154 with a stiff expression would occasionally glance over at him. You couldn't tell if he was hungry or if he was just exasperated by his colleague's mentally retarded state.
As for 001...He didn't even need to move. Just sitting there was enough provocation and ridicule to him.
You Huo looked away. He pulled off the set of keys from the Hunter's waist and walked over to the kitchen.
The thin paper was hidden between the stem and base of the glass and it was refracted through the glass. What should you do if you can't see it clearly at a normal angle?
You naturally would need to refract it again.
You Huo rummaged through the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen but wasn't able to find any water that he could use. Hunter A had mentioned that there would be wine but all he brought out were empty wine glasses.
The only liquid in the kitchen was the blood on the ground.
And they were almost all dried up now.
The harder it is to find, the more important it is.
This basically told You Huo that the key to the answer was here.
He came out of the kitchen with keys and glanced around the cabin. His eyes finally fell to the room next door.
The door with a rooster hanging from it was the only door that had not yet been opened. Without any hesitation, he pulled out the last key and inserted it into the keyhole.
With a click, the door opened.
The smell of old dust rushed out. You Huo covered his nose and used his hand to wave it away a few times.
The room before him was small, like a storage room but there were no brooms or mops inside. There was only a single wooden stand on which a single bottle of wine sat.
Everyone gathered over. You Huo walked out with the bottle of wine and said: "Found it."
Yu Wen then belatedly slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes yes! Add water! I remember now!"
The lid was pulled off and the strong, pungent smell of low-quality alcohol filled the cabin.
This was the most important part of the Hunter's meal, but he never had the chance to enjoy it.
You Huo poured the light amber coloured wine into glass number 1. Everyone stretched their necks out to watch while holding their breaths.
"Ah, I see it, I see it!!!" The drunkard Old Yu was most excited. He was the first one to call out.
Another name appeared in the glass:
Matthew.
Zhou Jin also got excited: "Matthew! That's right, this is "The Last Supper". Let's hurry and find Judas!"
Everyone started to move. One by one they poured the wine into the twelve glasses.
The names of the apostles surfaced one after another:
Bartholomew
John
Thomas
Philip
When they reached the eleventh glass, the bald man sitting in the twelfth seat was trembling.
Only two names had not appeared yet, and they happened to be the two most important figures in this large masterpiece, Judas and Jesus.
If Jesus's name appeared in the eleventh glass, it would mean that Judas is in the glass that he sat at so he would be the guest that would be cursed and was destined to die.
The bald man was so scared, he was about to vomit. Even while he was in the confinement room and even when he saw the cut up bloody flesh sitting near the wine glasses, he didn't feel this scared.
Afterall, they belonged to other people and this time it was he himself who was about to die.
