Nightmare Lord's virtual game

At today's banquet, Shesta chose to trust her instincts and cast her "invalid vote" for Muro Takumi.

To be honest, this kind of voting is very dangerous, like walking a tightrope on a cliff, because her "invalid vote" means the death of Grandma Yamawaki, who is very important to Muro Takumi. Although it is indirect, it is enough to arouse the hostility of the other party.

At this time, voting for someone who will cause hostility is simply adding fuel to the fire.

"Muro Takumi, a man who farms and does other manual labor in Xiushui Village, has a bold and open personality. In the eyes of the young people, he is also very caring. Most importantly, he is a rare person who can communicate well with both the elders led by Yamawa Tae and the young people led by Serizawa Chie... If such a person goes crazy because of the death of a close person, then it is hard to say what will happen to this banquet..."

Shesta is a player who has experienced the crazy banquet in the first round. She feels that the banquet in the first round has become uncontrollable very early because of the death of several key figures such as Kanzo and Muro Takumi.

If Muro Takumi dies, then the middleman who coordinates the elders and the young will be gone, and the banquet will become tit-for-tat. This should be the reason why Wolf wants to execute Grandma Yamawaki.

Ma Gong is undoubtedly a wolf. Of course, this is because he is a snake, so he knows that Ma Gong is a fake. Others don’t know who the real snake is, so it is not certain whether Ma Gong is a snake or not. However, under the influence of the actual controller of the banquet, the old man Kuan Zao, Ma Gong is obviously a candidate for execution...

I just don’t know if Ma Gong knows this.

“The goal of today’s inspection... Today we are not checking wolves, there is another more important goal.”

In order to make her vote today meaningful, Shesta must check the identity of a person today.

——Mujiang!

Yes, judging from the development of the banquet, Mujiang is most likely not a wolf, because if a wolf still has humanity, it will not kill people close to it... Even if it wants to kill, it will be put off until the end, and it will kill some people who are not important to it at the beginning.

However, this is just thinking from the perspective of a normal person. If, on the contrary, if the wolf has completely lost its humanity, will it take advantage of this in turn?

So, although Shesta is very sure that the room craftsman is not a wolf, even if there is a slight possibility, it must be ruled out.

Because, the [Yellow Spring Banquet] in Xiushui Village is crazy in itself, and the people who abide by the rules and attend the banquet may also be crazy!

If you think that the room craftsman is a human without confirmation, it may eventually lead to the worst result.

As a detective, you must doubt any possibility.

So, Shesta wrote down the room craftsman's name and put it under the pillow.

...

The next day, Shesta found new blood words on her stomach.

[Human]

Knowing this result made Shesta feel a littleI breathed a sigh of relief, but...

"Writing on the body for no apparent reason... If it were the real world, I would definitely hang the criminal up and torture him in various ways to let him know how to write the word regret... But why can't I find out when the words were left? Is it really a supernatural phenomenon?"

If the blood words were written by humans, why can't I find them?

Although the night was spent by fast-forwarding time, the system also made additional explanations that once an unexpected situation occurred during the time advancement, the fast-forwarding time would be interrupted.

But in reality, it didn't happen.

Could it be that this method of writing blood words on the body did not meet the conditions for triggering an interruption? Or is it really a supernatural phenomenon, the manifestation of the power of the protector?

"Let's see what the situation is today first. I wonder if anyone was killed by wolves..."

While thinking, Shesta knocked on the door, and then met——Shijiang.

"——Ah!"

Surprise quickly turned into a cry, and Shesta was knocked away by the room craftsman and fell back into the hut.

The room craftsman held a hoe in his left hand, and resentment was brewing in his eyes.

Shesta had seen this kind of eyes before.

Danger!

If you are not careful, you will suffer!

The premonition when voting yesterday turned out to be correct!

"...What do you want to talk to me about?"

Shesta was very nervous, but she had done everything she could, so she calmed down and asked slowly.

"Two people died this morning."

Although the answer was irrelevant, it was undoubtedly important information. One person died during the day and one person died at night. This was a death that broke the rules. Last time, it was because of this that the whole banquet was in a mess.

This kind of problem happened again in the second round?

"Who is it?" Shesta asked.

However, Takumi did not answer Shesta's question. He took a step forward, closed the door with his backhand, and then squatted down.

"You said yesterday that you voted for me to protect me, right?"

Takumi's voice was calm. No, he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

"What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly."

After that, he switched the hoe to his right hand.

This question is crucial. Shesta knew that if her answer did not satisfy the other party, Takumi would punish her immediately... maybe even her life.

"...I had expected that you would break in like this today."

"Huh?"

This was a question-and-answer contest. Shesta had to guess the other party's thoughts. Ordinary words might not be very useful. The most effective way was...

Shesta knew that it was time for the [Famous Detective] to appear.

Ask, what is the most surprising thing after the murder case.

There are two, one is naturally when witnessing the scene.

The other is when the detective reveals the truth.

As a famous detective, Shesta said that she is familiar with this.

"Yesterday you were at a vortex and crossroads of thought: Xiushui people will not kill each other, you attach great importance to the unity of Xiushui beyond generations, and you have always held this idea. However, it is because you attach too much importance to the opinions of different generations and people that your thinking has no clear direction."

"Go on."

He poked Shesta with the hoe. Although he did not poke hard, it was an obvious hostile act. However, Shesta has not lost the opportunity to explain.

"...According to the elders, especially Grandma Duohui, the dominance of the Huangquan Ji Banquet is absolute, and people will definitely die. The legend she told is not only the reason why Xiushui Village was isolated by Fujira Village, but also the embodiment of Xiushui's identity."

"Put it simply."

"...Because of this story of killing wolves and revenge, Xiushui was given an absurd mission, that is, to act as a barrier to prevent the invasion of Huangquan people. However, if you voluntarily live in Xiushui and look at it optimistically, then this story will be the pride of Xiushui. Therefore, you who value Xiushui, although you keep denying this legend, you dare not underestimate it from the bottom of your heart."

"..."Muro Takumi didn't say anything, it seems that he agreed with this point.

"On the other hand, you are good at using your mind and logic to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of things. You are better at thinking than others. Therefore, whether it is Chizhi Minoru who came back from the city or Taichang who is smart, you can understand their rational and modern way of thinking."

This is also the reason why Muro Takumi can become the middleman between the elders and the younger group in Xiushui Village.

"However, their thinking is also different. One thinks that killing people casually after calm thinking, and the other thinks that killing people is inevitable after calm thinking. You can understand and agree with their thinking, so you want to find a middle way, but this will only put you in a dilemma... .........As the leader of Xiushui, as a coordinator between young people and elders, you have failed their expectations... .........Therefore, the method you finally decided on was to create an enemy of Kyousui and attack him first. Fortunately, there are more than one candidate for the enemy. "

"The first ones to bear the brunt are Meeko, who is regarded as an ominous existence, Rikako, one of the four elders who is hostile to Kyousui, and me whose origin is unknown. The second is Mamiya, whose origin is clear but he is an outsider, and finally, the second son Nori, who is an elder but knows nothing about him."

"Of course, the Yamawaki grandmother and Mrs. Kaori, who are closest to you, have the lowest priority. In short, your idea is to attack the targets in order of priority, so as to avoid attacking people who resonate with you. Your idea is not unreasonable. Compared with the neighbor suddenly becoming a murderer, the possibility of foreign invasion is indeed higher."

"... And until yesterday morning, youThat's what I thought. After all, no one died the night before yesterday. However, yesterday at noon, everything was overturned. Compared with outsiders, the people of Xiushui prioritized the execution of the mainstay of Xiushui, Grandma Yamawaki, so you stayed indoors alone yesterday because you had to adjust your action plan as soon as possible. "

"Besides, you were thinking at home about how to set up new enemies and who should be blamed for the hatred with Grandma Duohui..."

At this point, Xiesta's words were suddenly interrupted.

The room craftsman threw down the hoe and directly grabbed Xiesta's neck with his hands.

"You are talking nonsense!"

"...If you really think I'm talking nonsense, don't do it, but refute me directly, that's what you should be like!" Xiesta was a little out of breath, but still said stubbornly: "However, your decision is to set up enemies for yourself. In that case, there is only one answer left for you, regard the people who killed Grandma Duohui as enemies, and then attack them for revenge."

"You are talking nonsense! ! ”

Muro Takumi's shouting became louder than before.

"I'm not kidding! Although he claimed to be a protector, Mamiya's attitude was obviously suspicious! It was obviously like this, but it was Granny Dahui who was hanged! So you think that every wolf must have voted for Granny Dahui, and the wolf must be lurking among those who voted for Granny Dahui!"

"——You must think so. Then, I think that at this time, you have been swallowed up by the guilt of watching Granny Dahui being hanged. You want to sacrifice yourself and take revenge now!"

"...Even if it is contaminated, the suspects must be slaughtered. What should I do under the circumstances at that time? I thought that if I voted for Granny Yamawaki, I would become your biggest enemy. Meako is still a child. Although Rikako voted for Granny Yamawaki, she finally accepted it. And me? Nothing! ”

The sadness of being an outsider is that you will be rejected by the natives.

“Once you go crazy and want to kill people, the first priority target will be me, so I can't vote for Grandma Yamawaki!”

“Is that your reason? You obviously have another choice!”

What Muro Takumi said is right. Although Grandma Tae got more votes at that time, as long as Shesta voted for Mamiya, a runoff vote could be held... But...

“Even so, I can't vote for Mamiya Hisako.”

Shesta said seriously.

“Why!! Aren't you also suspicious of her!! ”

What should I do? Should I tell him the truth?

However, the noise here is a bit loud. Will there be wolves eavesdropping outside?

However, the situation does not allow Shesta to think too much, because the room craftsman has picked up the hoe again.

“…Because I am the protector of snakes.”

Shesta said directly.
