Chapter 11: Guessing Game

In order to verify his guess, Gao Fei used an astrolabe to detect Eva who was dancing gracefully. As a result, he could only see the other party's professional level, and the rest of the details were "it is temporarily impossible to detect high-level NPCs."

This is enough.

Eva is a level 10 "sword dancer" who combines the agility of a thief with the performance skills of a bard.

This kind of dance is not only beautiful to watch, but also contains fascinating magic power, and can even kill people without being seen.

As a high-level "sword dancer", Eva entered the dance industry. This is a typical dimensionality reduction attack. No wonder she has become famous and has many fans at a young age.

Eva ended her impromptu performance amidst applause, bowed to the audience surrounding the door with a smile, and put on her high heels.

A bell rang outside the door, reminding the audience that it was time to visit the wax figure exhibition.

Eva offered to be Louise and Roger's tour guide, leading them into the wax museum.

The light in the hall is dark and the tone is depressing.

The cello played a gloomy melody, which perfectly accentuated the atmosphere of the murder scene.

The venue was decorated like a dance party.

More than sixty well-dressed and lively-looking male and female guests were all wax figures, including the "victim" who fell by the fireplace with bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"The wax figure lying on the ground simulates a wealthy businessman and the owner of this house."

Eva introduces the theme of the wax figure exhibition to Louise and Roger.

"While he was hosting a banquet for guests, he suddenly died of poison, causing panic in the ball hall. The wax figure exhibition shows this scene."

"As visitors, while admiring the exquisite art of making wax figures, we might as well use our brains to guess who among all these wax figures is the murderer who poisoned and killed people."

Speaking of this, Eva made a playful face.

"The wax figures will not speak to testify. If we make random guesses, we can come up with a logical chain of logic to prove that any wax figure is suspected of committing a crime. There is no correct answer to this game."

"In order to avoid such controversy, we have to add a constraint to the game, that is, we must find a 'wax golem' among all these wax figures and obtain key testimony from its mouth."

"Ms. Eva, can the wax golem talk?" Rogge asked curiously.

"The wax golem can only say what its owner tells it to say. Under normal circumstances, it cannot speak freely based on its own thoughts." Eva answered.

"You mentioned thoughts, that's strange." Louise joined the chat, "As far as I know, the wax golem's intelligence attribute is only a pitiful 1 point, which is not up to the level of a cat or dog. What he says is just...

A machine that imitates human pronunciation and repeats the instructions given to it by its master has no free will!"

"Eva, my dear friend, how can you apply such a noble word as 'thought' to a wax golem?"

"Yes, generally speaking, wax golems are not worthy of having thoughts."

Eva's smile was slightly bitter, and she immediately changed the topic.

"Mr. Wayne, Louise said you are a famous detective in Marina City. You must have solved many suspense cases, right?"

"Uh... not too much. The detective agency that my friends and I jointly opened has only taken on three cases so far."

Roger showed an awkward yet polite smile.

The cases he handled, including the case of exterminating ghosts in a grocery store, the case of demonic hauntings at the police chief's house, and the kidnapping case, none of them required brain-burning reasoning and were not worth showing off.

"It's only been half a year since you opened your business. It's already remarkable that you've successfully solved three cases. Even the wife of the police chief praised you for being brave and resourceful, and worthy of the title of 'Great Detective'."

Eva first praised Rogge, then changed the subject and challenged him.

"Mr. Detective, with your professional vision, it must be very easy to find the wax golem among all the wax figures, right?"

"Of course this won't be difficult for Rogge!" Louis rushed to say, "He will be able to dig out the wax golem within an hour!"

Gu Min

"An ordinary person needs an hour. Mr. Wayne is a famous detective, how can he keep up with ordinary people? I think five minutes is enough for him." Eva had a narrow smile in her eyes, "How about Mr. Detective?

Do you dare to accept this challenge and show your intelligence?"

Rogge didn't want to show weakness in front of his sweetheart, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Great, let's start from now on!"

Eva took out her pocket watch and counted down the time for him.

Rogge walked into the venue and spent two minutes observing the sixty-five wax figures with different postures and expressions. His eyes were dizzy and he could not find any wax figure that was different.

He wanted to touch the skin texture of the wax figure, but was stopped by the venue staff, who politely reminded him: "You can only look at it, not touch it."

At this time, Rogge was completely at his wits end and could only pray silently in his heart and ask his guardian angel for help.

At the same time, Jiang Feng and Gao Fei both received system prompts.

It’s time to trance!

With three minutes left on the clock, Goofy must find the wax golem alone.

Jiang Feng couldn't help, so he could only watch from the side, worried.

"This little girl Eva is so mean-spirited! You're going to make me look stupid in public!"

Gao Fei couldn't help but curse.

Then I thought that Eva's surname is also "Vida". From this, it can be seen that the plot of the wax figure exhibition was probably a game script written by Inanna Vader herself.

Our second-generation official lady may have brought herself into the role of Eva. No wonder Eva's character is full of Mary Sue atmosphere...

Just complaining won't solve the problem.

Time is passing by minute by minute.

Although failing to complete this side mission will not affect the direction of the main plot, it still makes people feel unhappy.

After a little observation, Gao Fei concluded that it was impossible to solve the puzzle in just three minutes with his own brain, and he had to use some means other than reasoning.

For example, use an astrolabe for identification.

The species type of the wax golem is a constructed creature, so it must be different from ordinary wax figures!

However, it turned out that this trick did not work.

System prompt: The guessing task is in progress, you cannot use the astrolabe to cheat!

Worri! Is this all part of your plan?

Gao Fei stroked his chin. After one plan failed, another one came up.

If the astrolabe cannot be used, I can always use magic, right?

Extracting 7 points of magic value, Gao Fei cast a faint green light curtain at the exhibition site where the wax figures gathered.

The third-level "dispersion spell" can designate a creature or a field as the target of the spell, covering a spherical space with a radius of 20 feet, and a plane projection of approximately 150 square meters.

Why use "dispersion"?

The reason is simple.

The method by which the wax golem changes its body shape and appearance is essentially the level 1 "disguise" spell.

Spell effects below level 3 will be unconditionally removed by "dispersion".
