First clarify the two rules of the system:
1. Once a prediction occurs, no matter how the process changes, the suspect will definitely kill the victim.
2. People who know the prediction have the ability to change the future.
Puller knows these two rules. In other words, Rama didn't need to consider whether John escaped or not. He only needed to conceive a trap, such as using an anonymous letter to lure John into a hotel to meet the victim. When he designs this trap, the prophet system will automatically predict it. At this time, regardless of whether John escapes or not, under the effect of Rule 1, even if things develop differently from what Rama designed, John and the victim will eventually meet. If he does not run away and is arrested, then Rama's goal of framing John can also be achieved.
The order here is as follows:
1. Rama's design framed John (the design process is not important).
2. A prediction occurs in the prophetic system, and rule 1 takes effect. Whether or not John acts according to Rama's design, he will eventually kill the victim.
3. There are many possibilities next:
(1) John was lured by Rama to the hotel to meet the victim without seeing the prediction of the prophet system. The result is that whether John kills the victim or is stopped by others, he will eventually be arrested.
(2) John saw the prediction of the prophet system, and he did not run away or was arrested in the process of running away, and he was arrested as a result.
(3) John saw the prediction of the prophet system and successfully escaped and was not caught until the time of the crime. At this time, Rule 1 is activated, and John must meet with the victim at the scheduled time.
No matter which one of the above-mentioned situations occurs, in the end, Rama can achieve the goal of eliminating John.
4. John meets with the victim. At this time, Rule 2 is activated, that is, the person who has seen the prediction may change the future, so John did not kill the victim at the scheduled time. Er finally failed to kill John and Rule 2 was in effect.
The truth is: the prophet system not only has a predictive function, but also a compulsory function! Once predicted, unless stopped by someone who knows the prediction, the suspect will eventually meet with the victim and will try to kill, regardless of subjective will or accidental factors.
If the prophet system is widely promoted, two problems will inevitably arise.
1. Everyone knows that their behavior will be predicted. At this time, the number of people who give up homicide will increase, resulting in the inability to identify and effectively identify the real criminal.
2. The real criminals use system rule 1 to frame others. As long as they design a framing plan, they will be automatically predicted, and then the framed person will be arrested, and the criminals behind the scenes will escape sanctions.
Therefore, the compulsion of the prophet's prediction is the real reason for the abolition of the system.
