Everyone's Suspicion

Ashbi and the four patriarchs who had unsightly complexions left the room and looked at the group of people gathered inside the colosseum from the corridor.

The crowd surrounded an enormous machine. They were inspecting it carefully while discussing what they saw with those around them. When Ashbi took a closer look at the machine, he saw that it looked like a vicious beast with a long arm. He had never seen such a thing before, and it brought a frown to his face. He then carefully observed the machine to get a clue about what it was.

Suddenly, one of the people opened a small gate at the top of the machine and sat down inside. The next instant, the machine rotated right and left, then raised up the long arm which was at the front and smashed it downward.

A hole was dug out in the ground.

"Interesting."
