BALLAD¹

Ballad

Video 3: BALLAD¹ April 15 2017

discription reads after Hex to ASCII text decryption:

"This is the hated ballad, but it's also the death ballad

We stopped looking for monsters under our bed when we realized that they were inside us.

No hay vuelta atrás. No hubo elección. (in english 'There is no way back. There was no choice')

the video opens to a cell in midst of mitosis soon followed by white text

next the phrase "HERSCHEL/3133343137" and the word "CACCISD"

this one string-theory rabbit-holes here so stick with me...

the comments are where it gets really interesting for this one. searching one of the elements in one of the comments i found this older subredit about this very youtube video, in which things lead to a very odd place. in it one user says " Assuming the 31 33 34 31 37 is hex we get Herschel/13417. herschel.org/13417 is just a 12.5 hour loop of "Luigi Ban Presents "South 32" it is noteworthy that  Luigi Bian also has the alias Kari Bian.

back to the comments, because thats where is gets even weirder. the account adacic cicada commented at the very bottom in base64, when decrypted it says:

so theres some weird connection or call out between cicada3301 and RW5jZWxhZHVz, but this is most likely a false clue and not really important to our story here. i think that having a look at cicada is a good idea as i feel this arg takes inspiration from it.
