0034 Chapter 1: Confessions of the Dead (Section 28)
"Here's the interesting question. Regarding Mr. Epilens' obvious anomaly, the organizers have no intention of terminating, postponing, or even suspending the competition, and they have not even taken separate action against Mr. Epilens.
Therefore, I think we have every reason to believe that Mr. Epilens’ anomaly was within the organizers’ expectations and even plans.
Of course, I cannot reproduce these scenes to you through the 'flashbacks' I have experienced, but what is going on now is not a detective activity to find the real murderer, but a game in which as long as you make correct deductions, you can win.
So for the evidence I saw, it is enough for me to know it myself, right?" Zhen Cheng threw the question and a playful look at Mr. Anbis at the same time.
"Please tell me the important point, Miss Zhen. You have taken too long alone." Anbis looked at his watch from time to time, with sweat beads on his forehead and a slightly uneasy expression.
The observed behavior made Zhen Cheng frown. Rather than fearing that his purpose would be exposed, Mr. Anbis acted more like he was worried about missing a certain time.
But in the final analysis, Zhen Cheng only cared about the prize of this game, and had no intention of exploring the secrets hidden behind Scarry, so she did not deliberately delay and make things difficult for the test, but continued speaking concisely:
"The second piece of evidence is Miss Qu Yun who entered the room at the end. Sorry, I have no intention of being disparaging. After a brief contact, I will give you a very high evaluation of your ability, willpower, self-confidence and knowledge, but in any case, in
In the circle of detectives, you are indeed unknown.
If a top detective of my age appeared in the world, at least everyone here would have heard about it, but I think everyone, like me, is unfamiliar with the young lady in front of me, right?
So, why would a game event with a 'top detective' as its threshold accept a newcomer with outstanding ability but little-known name to join?
I think the real reason is not that Scarry recognized your ability, Miss Qu Yun, but that in the circle of top detectives there is no one with silver hair, female, good at piano, or any other characteristics that can satisfy the organizer.
A great detective with basic conditions for 'recreating history', right?
Miss Quyun will compete with us here, not because she has a mind as good as ours, but because she and we also meet the requirements of the ritual that Scarry wants to reproduce, the teaching that once appeared on the tape.
, it is suspected that the requirements are described in the ritual script of the Apostolic Organization Bible.”
For the first time today, the silver-haired girl showed a confused look on her face. It makes sense... but what should I do if she obviously doesn't feel that is the case? Zhen Cheng didn't pay attention to Qu Yun's weird look, and just faced her directly.
She continued to operate:
"The third piece of evidence also lies with Miss Qu. Or to be more precise, it lies in the identity of the [pianist] who entered the room at the end.
When Mr. Anbis came in and announced that the game had entered the final stage, he mentioned that the end of the game would be ‘taken as an opportunity by [the pianist]’s specific performance’. Please tell me, what does this mean?”
Such an answer was obvious to the top detectives. If they had not thought of it before, it was simply because no one reminded them of this. So Navis immediately answered:
"I think the same piece of piano music should be like my rag, the designated method used by [Pianist] to kill [Victim]. If this is true, it means that one of the winning conditions for [Victim] is 'survive to the game'
End' is simply not valid from the rules.
The organizer proposed this rule in order to induce Miss Zhen to try her best to survive, so as to act in line with the identity and true experience of the "victim" in history. But also in order to reproduce history, even if Miss Zhen accidentally escaped everyone's assassination, she
At the end of the game... you must die."
After Navis finished speaking, he looked at Anbis who was speechless. Zhen Cheng did not give him a chance to respond and refute, and completed his statement in one breath:
"The last thing is the process that happens in the real game, that is, the process of everyone completing the role. These processes actually happen more intensively than people usually think, but if you preconceptionally assume that 'the organizer will definitely facilitate the kill,'
If you think about it, the result is actually not too difficult to deduce.
These 'kills' were mainly concentrated when Mr. Impas entered the game venue. This man showed abnormal hostility towards me, and physically attacked me and injured me. Perhaps this was influenced by the extraordinary power of the mansion.
, but Mr. Impas, this matter is not over yet,”
Zhen Cheng glanced at Impas without losing his grace, his eyes filled with inquiry and threats. Unexpectedly, the latter looked unnatural and almost panicked.
"At that time, Hu Vabao shot Impas with the toy gun in his hand because of his abnormal behavior. Considering my experience of being shot in the 'Backtrack', this should be his final act of killing [the victim].
.
Afterwards, the insane Detective Epilens killed Huvabao from behind. I was knocked down the stairs by Impas. In the 'retrospective', I saw the scene of [the victim] being stabbed to death by the tip of the key. This is Mr. Epilens.
Complete the kill.
Next, in the nursery, Ms. Navis covered my face with a rag from behind. We all knew that this meant [Maid]'s killing performance. And in the end, [Pianist] announced the end of the game, and it even became a guarantee
[Victim] will definitely not survive until the end of the game.
Finally, there is [Gardener]. During this process, Impas first kicked me, then inserted tree shears on the ground in front of me, and then knocked me down the stairs. Although I didn’t know [
Gardener’s special prop is..."
"The gardener's special tool is 'poisonous gas'." Qu Yun quietly reminded her at the right moment.
"That's right," Zhen Cheng accepted it completely without pausing in his statement: "After Impas entered the door, he first ate a piece of chewing gum, and then he rushed in front of me and spit on me before launching a personal attack.
Counting time, this should be the first of all kills.
What’s interesting is, Mr. Impas, I can understand your reason for concealing your kill on me to confuse other competitors. But even if you want to lock your special props the moment you enter the door,
It’s really shocking... I’m very curious, how do you do this?”
The weirdness on Impas's face became even more bizarre. He seemed to open his mouth to explain something, but was stopped by the host Anbis: "The time has come. Now I will announce the winner of this game. Among the six outstanding
Among the detectives, the participant who will eventually obtain the Golden Mask and the complete extraordinary path it represents is..."
