Chapter 937: Chapter 25: Suspicion and Setting a Trap

”From the situation last night, Alice seems... very stupid?”

The detective little girl tilted her head and uttered these somewhat daring words, knowing well that Alice was hiding among the crowd.

”Very stupid?”

The golden glasses man looked puzzled.

”Yes, very stupid.”

The detective little girl insisted, after sorting out her thoughts, she said:

”If I were Alice, I definitely wouldn’t attack Bai Ye on the first night. Even attacking National Foot Elder Three, who doesn’t have questioning rights, would be far more profitable than attacking Bai Ye. If National Foot Elder Three dies, it would be a great shock for National Foot Boss and Elder Two, not to mention that the cat woman has a higher possibility of being targeted. In my initial assumption, the most likely person Alice would attack last night was the cat woman.”

Once the detective little girl entered the reasoning mode, she disregarded her own safety and others’ thoughts.

”Suppose I were Alice, the sequence for me attacking gamers would be like this: the first night, attack cat woman; the second night, National Foot Elder Two; the third night, it’s Pibang; the fourth night, National Foot Boss; the fifth night, glasses; the sixth night, Bai Ye; the seventh night, National Foot Elder Three; or after the third or fourth night, attack myself and blend in with the dead.”

The detective little girl’s words made sense. Not only she was puzzled, but Su Xiao was equally puzzled why Alice would attack him; it seemed unrelated to the game, and he even detected a hint of personal vendetta.

What confused Su Xiao was that he had no personal vendetta with Alice; before entering the Demon Castle, he didn’t even know of Alice’s existence.

”Compared to attacking me, attacking cat woman or glasses is indeed more profitable.”

Su Xiao took out the Eternal Crystal Vial, drank a small mouthful, approximately a third of it.

The sweet spring water went down the throat, a cool sensation ran down his esophagus, and his life value and mana value recovered a bit.

”So, I can’t understand why Alice attacked you, or rather, are you Alice? Pretending to be attacked last night is more convenient than becoming a ’dead’. Being an attacked identity is higher than everyone except National Foot Elder Three. Alice most likely wouldn’t disguise as the dead; she’s enjoying the gameplay, hiding in a room isn’t what she’d accept, but after becoming an attacked person, she can clear most suspicion, move freely, join the subsequent games with a high identity, and remain unquestioned for a long time.”

As soon as the detective little girl finished speaking, everyone’s eyes were on Su Xiao.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment, things indeed seemed possible like this; being a survivor after an attack was much more convenient than becoming a ’dead’.

”Makes some sense.”

Su Xiao didn’t bother to dispute. This game was all about mutual suspicion, and someone like the detective little girl, who often doubted others, was less likely to be Alice.

”Of course, this might also be Alice’s smoke bomb. Her purpose of attacking you on the first night might be to frame you, but I have a strange feeling that compared to framing, this feels more like a personal vendetta—clear in target, unrelated to the game benefits.”

The detective little girl had excellent deductive abilities, and her summary led everyone to realize that Alice attacking Su Xiao was possibly due to one of two reasons: Su Xiao was Alice’s disguise, or Su Xiao had a personal vendetta with Alice.

”The personal vendetta theory seems somewhat unrealistic; considering it should be everyone’s first time coming to the Demon Castle, hence...”

The latter part of the detective little girl’s speech wasn’t uttered, the unspoken words were: Su Xiao was Alice’s disguise.

”Nice deduction.”

Su Xiao’s expression was calm.

”Aren’t you going to refute? In normal thinking, irrespective of whether you are Alice, you should refute.”

The detective little girl looked at Su Xiao intently.

”At most, someone could use questioning rights on me. Based on the known clues, I’m indeed the most likely to be Alice.”

”Then it’s decided; today I give up on questioning myself, I choose to question you.”

”Suit yourself.”

Su Xiao smoked, leaning against the sofa.

”What do you all think?”

The detective little girl glanced at the crowd, who had mixed expressions.

Pibang was thinking, the cat woman scratched her head with her sharp claws, the golden glasses man was hesitating over something, and the National Team Brothers were discussing using the team channel.

Five minutes passed, and no one spoke.

”Seems this method is not so good, Bai Ye’s big thigh.”

The detective little girl shrugged her hands.

”No one responds, fox tail hidden deep.”

Su Xiao puffed out a cloud of light smoke, the detective little girl seemed to be questioning him but was actually digging a pit, waiting for Alice to jump in.

If someone agreed with the detective little girl at this point, that person had more than a 50% chance of being Alice, questioning Su Xiao would just waste a questioning right and benefit Alice.

Finding no one speaking up, the detective little girl spoke, shocking everyone.

”I can prove Bai Ye was indeed attacked last night.”

”Hm? How can you prove it?”

”I’m in the closest room to Bai Ye, last night I heard someone walking in high heels at the doorway. Initially, I couldn’t ascertain which room the sound was from, just now, Bai Ye said he came into contact with Alice, and the others didn’t refute; this means others weren’t attacked by Alice, of course, this doesn’t exclude Alice’s trap.”

Su Xiao’s suspicion was largely cleared, the National Team Brothers were baffled all along; the plot was a bit complex, and without subtitles, it wasn’t quite suitable for them.

”Ahem, we three brothers follow the general stance.”

National Foot Boss stood up to give a statement and then sat down.

”So, does it mean the clues are still unclear?”

The cat woman didn’t look pleased; she understood how dangerous her situation was.

”No, clues are already obvious.”

As soon as the detective little girl finished speaking, a prompt appeared.

[Announcement: Number One Gamer used questioning authority on Number One Gamer, questioning failed, Number One Gamer was not a disguise of Alice.]

The detective little girl proved herself, she wasn’t Alice.

”The clues have become apparent; using the simplest exclusion method, we can figure it out: Firstly, I and National Foot Elder Three aren’t Alice; the possibility of National Foot Boss, Elder Two, and Bai Ye being Alice is also low. In this case, only Pibang, glasses, and the cat woman remain.”

The detective little girl smiled. After hearing her words, National Foot Boss slapped his thigh. Next to him, National Foot Elder Two also showed delight.

”Then aren’t we about to win?”

”Alice is certainly doomed.”

”Not necessarily.”

Su Xiao poured some cold water, looking at National Foot Boss and Elder Two.

”The suspicion only lies on Pibang, glasses, and cat woman. Before we verify our identities, we three also have a chance of being Alice; if Alice successfully hides among us three, it’ll be troublesome.”

Su Xiao’s words instantly wiped the smiles off National Foot Boss and Elder Two’s faces.

”That’s indeed the case, but our advantage is undeniable; when Alice chose to attack you, she was already at a disadvantage. Tomorrow I will definitely find out who Alice is! Unless she reverses the situation in a moment.”

The detective little girl spoke with confidence, a testament to her trust in her own reasoning abilities.
