The whole Village Will Be Punished!

  How did No.6 know that the whole Village would be punished, mass reprisals, a never to be forgotten deterrent, for the assassination/execution of the retiring No.2? Unless of course he knew what was in the mind of No.1, and had decided to act against any possible aggression by his alter ego against the innocent citizens of the Village. No.6, a guardian angel against himself..................that's a new one!    BCNU
