Chapter 932: Doubt and Introspection
— Judging from what happened last night, Alice seems to be the one who's been waiting for me... Stupid? The loli said some very dangerous words and tilted her head.
Alice was disguised as someone present, but she called her stupid...
— Stupid? Wash looked confused.
— Yes, very stupid, "the loli said, and after collecting her thoughts, she said —" If I were Alice, I would never have attacked Byakuya on the first night. Even if I were to attack third brother, who can no longer ask a question, I would still gain more benefits than attacking Byakuyu. If the third brother died, the first and second brothers would be enraged, but ideally, it was necessary to kill the catwoman. According to my initial expectations, Alice was supposed to attack catwoman - apparently, by switching to "reasoning" mode, Loli began to completely ignore her own safety and the thoughts of other contractors.
— Suppose I was Alice, then the order of my adventures would be as follows: catwoman on the first night, second brother on the second night, fat man on the third night, first brother on the fourth night, glasses on the fifth night, Byakuya on the sixth night, and on the seventh third brother, or after the third or fourth night I I would have pretended to be dead — " and what loli said made sense.
Not only was she embarrassed by this development, but Su Xiao himself was also embarrassed. Alice attacked him. No matter what he thought about it, it clearly had nothing to do with the game.
He even sensed a hint of personal resentment in her actions.
What puzzled Su Xiao even more was that they had definitely never met before. He didn't even know about Alice's existence before entering this " Demonic Castle».
— The benefits of catwoman or bespectacled man's death are indeed greater than mine, " Su Xiao said as he took out the eternal crystal bottle and took a sip from it, sipping about a third of it.
The sweet spring water entered his mouth and soon rolled down his esophagus, carrying a pleasant coolness.
His health and mana began to recover rapidly.
— So, right now, I can't understand why Alice attacked you at all. Or are you Alice? Maybe she decided to pretend that she was attacked on the first night. If this is the case, then she would be able to create a very convincing alibi for herself, and apparently she is not going to pretend to be dead, as she likes to enjoy these games. If she pretended to be a victim, not only would it remove most of the suspicion from her, but it would also allow her to freely participate in the following days without being able to be verified, " and as soon as loli finished speaking, everyone looked at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao thought for a moment. This could really be true. Pretending to be a survivor of an attack was much more convenient than pretending to be " dead».
— It makes sense, " Su Xiao said. He didn't say anything against it, since the whole game was based on mutual suspicion. Players like this loli, who often doubted others, were less likely to actually turn out to be Alice.
— Of course, this could also be a distraction step. Maybe she wanted all of us to target you, but I have this weird feeling that it feels more like a personal grudge than if she really wanted to frame you. By choosing you as her target, she didn't get any benefits.
Loli's reasoning was indeed very good, her ability to solve riddles couldn't be questioned.
Right now, they had two options — either Alice really attacked Su Xiao out of a personal grudge, or she decided to 'attack' him to create an alibi for herself.
— The personal grudge option seems a bit strange to me, since I doubt that anyone here has visited this castle for more than the first time, so... " The loli said and fell silent. She didn't say that Alice was Su Xiao.
— Good reasoning, " Su Xiao said without changing his expression.
— Don't you want to refute my words? Regardless of whether you're Alice or not, anyone would say something against you if they were you, " Loli said and looked at Su Xiao with bright eyes.
— Judging by the current hints, I really, most likely, am Alice.
— Then it's settled. I suggest you stop discussing this case for today, don't check on me today, and check on Byakuyu first.
— I don't mind, but I won't waste my try, " Su Xiao replied, taking out a cigarette and leaning on the sofa.
— What do you think? loli asked and looked around at everyone present.
Ping thought about it, catwoman scratched her head with her paws, Wash hesitated, and the three brothers discussed something in whispers among themselves.
Five minutes passed, but no one spoke.
— It seems like this choice isn't very good, Byakuya, " the loli said and spread her hands.
— Of course, no one will agree, since she hid her tail deep enough, " Su Xiao said as he blew out a puff of smoke.
The Loli looked like she was interrogating him, but in reality, she was digging a hole and waiting for Alice to jump in.
If someone agrees to her suggestion, from the loli's point of view, that person who agrees is more than 50% Alice.
If they checked out Su Xiao, they would lose one attempt and one day to nowhere.
But after realizing that no one was going to say a word, Loli finally said — " I can prove that Byakuya was actually attacked last night.
— Eh? How do you prove it?
— I live in the first room, and he lives in the second. Last night, I heard someone walking around the door in high heels. I was never able to determine which room she went to, but since Byakuya said that he fought Alice and no one said that he also fought her, it means that no one else met her. Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that this could be Alice's trap.
Most of the suspicion was cleared from Su Xiao. The three brothers were baffled throughout the discussion. The plot was a bit complicated, and since it didn't have any explanations, they didn't see an opportunity to break into the discussions.
— Hmm, we three brothers will follow the majority position, " the older brother said as he got to his feet before sitting back down.
— Are you saying we're still running out of evidence?" catwoman's expression wasn't very pretty, as she was well aware of how dangerous her situation was.
— No, we already have enough evidence for our eyes — " as soon as Loli said that, everyone immediately saw the notice.
[Player # 1 used his right to ask a question to player # 1, but the question was answered in the negative.
Player # 1 is not Alice.]
Loli proved that she is not Alice.
— We have enough evidence to use the simplest method of exclusion. First of all, third brother and I are definitely not Alice, and the probability that the first, second brother, and Byakuya are Alice is low, so we only have Ping, bespectacled, and catwoman out of the options, " Loli said and smiled.
Hearing her words, the older brother slapped his thigh, and the second brother next to him also looked happy.
— So we're going to win soon?
— No, " Su Xiao replied, and his gaze seemed to pour a basin of cold water over his older brother's head. "Ping, bespectacled, and catwoman are just more suitable candidates. It may or may not be them, and if this is the second option, then we will get into trouble.
This response made the three brothers stop smiling.
— That's true, but right now we have the advantage. Since Alice decided to attack Byakuyu, she put herself at a disadvantage. I'll be able to figure out exactly who Alice is tomorrow! Unless of course she can kill all of us in one night, " the loli's tone was very confident, which showed her confidence in her own abilities.
