I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 109, page 1.7, section 26: Lias's Voyage
Fernana, supporting Orsia, followed Shuiqi back to what could be called the camp. From afar, they saw the girl sitting in front of a fire eating grilled fish, with several fish bones and branches already at her feet.

“You…” Fernana’s expression changed slightly, seemingly very surprised that Mu Yegui had appeared in the camp so brazenly after injuring Moya.

Mu Yegui turned to look at Ferna, took a bite of fish, and asked with a hint of confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you attack me just now!" Orsia broke free from Fernna, clutching the wound on her shoulder that was still bleeding crimson blood, and angrily questioned her.

"Attack?" Mu Yegui tilted his head, looking at the three of them in confusion, and said, "I've been here the whole time."

Shui Qi stared at the four or five fish bones at Mu Yegui's feet, her narrow blue eyes filled with a hint of inquiry and doubt. Mu Yegui's expression didn't seem like she was lying, but she was usually expressionless, so it didn't necessarily mean anything. However, the fish bones at her feet became the best evidence for her own statement, since it would be impossible to eat so many grilled fish if she hadn't been there the whole time.

But if Mu Yegui is telling the truth, then who attacked Moya? Who exactly were they seeing in disguise? Could there be other players or NPCs here?

"What happened? How did Moya get hurt?" Daolin sighed and asked them helplessly.

"She's been here the whole time and hasn't left?" Fernana asked Daolin with a complicated expression.

"Yeah, she just kept staring at the grilled fish, wanting to eat it. Even when I asked her to go check out that scream, she refused, saying she had to protect Lias by her side at all times."

Dao Lin's words undoubtedly cleared Mu Yegui of suspicion, telling everyone that Mu Yegui had never left. But in fact, no one knew how Mu Yegui had managed to eat five skewers of grilled fish in such a short time, except for Dao Lin.

It's actually very simple, but humans basically can't do it.

Mu Yegui simply stuffed the whole fish into her mouth, then pulled it out by the tail, and finished the fish in less than three seconds. She completely ignored the scorching heat of the grilled fish, seemingly unfazed by the heat.

After finishing the five fish in the same way, she began to slowly nibble on the sixth grilled fish, just like now, blowing on it before taking a small bite, incredibly refined and ladylike.

"What's going on..." Orsia's expression was filled with disbelief and horror. She took a step back, her brows furrowed, and muttered, "Could it be that someone has impersonated Mu Yegui?"

"That's unlikely, there are only five of us in this instance." Fernana glanced at the current number of players and suddenly froze. The current number of players was 6...

6...

How can this be! !
Shui Qi, Dao Lin, Mu Ye Gui, Mo Ya, and Feierna—no matter how you count them, there are five people. Where is the sixth person? Even if there is, they should be visible during a storm.

Fernana remembered clearly that there was no sixth player at the time; she had only seen five people, including herself, from beginning to end. So why was there a sixth person now?

Could it really be Moa, the one who was attacked by the hidden sixth man?

“Although I didn’t experience it firsthand, I have a guess. Could this be part of the role-playing mechanics? Like the so-called traitor?” Dao Lin then added, “Because this kind of setting is quite common in the Kingdom of Sin. Since this instance covers the characteristics of the six kingdoms, it should also have the rules of the Kingdom of Sin’s civil war.” At this moment, Mu Yegui slowly swallowed the last bite of fish, and belatedly said in a soft, childlike voice, “Someone was impersonating me just now?”

Shui Qi's expression was very complicated. He didn't know whether he should believe Mu Yegui, but the number of players, 6, was the strongest evidence to exonerate Mu Yegui, even if he wanted to believe that Mu Yegui was the real culprit who attacked Moya.

Both Dao Lin and Player Number 6 clearly told him that Mu Ye Gui couldn't possibly have done that, because she hadn't left the camp—something Dao Lin witnessed firsthand. Player Number 6, however, claimed there was a sixth person, but no one had noticed. It couldn't be Shu Ming, because he saw Mu Ye Gui push Shu Ming into the sea; he couldn't possibly survive under those circumstances. But if it wasn't Shu Ming, then who was it?

The role-playing mechanic dictates that no two characters can be the same. Since he is a traitor, there can be no second traitor, unless he is an imitator. However, imitation can only imitate behavior and mannerisms, not character traits, so he is not an imitator.

So, who exactly is that person? And what kind of persona would lead them to do something like this?
“Don’t look at me, we must keep our silence.” When Lias saw them looking at him, he quickly shook his head and made an ‘X’ with his hands.

“If it’s a metaphor that doesn’t reveal the answer, it shouldn’t matter,” Mu Yegui said slowly, glancing at him lightly.

"Oh right, but why should I tell you? You guys even tried to hit me before! Even if I knew, I wouldn't have told you! Hehehehe!!" Lias stuck out his tongue at everyone and made a face, then ignored them.

"Where are your branches and food?" Daolin suddenly asked.

Shui Qi and Fernana: "..." Forgot.

Dao Lin gave each of them a skewer of grilled fish and then said, "Go on."

So the two of them set off again with the grilled fish. Dao Lin watched their departing figures gradually disappear into the woods, his icy blue eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked straight at Orsia, saying, "Your personality has changed a lot."

Orsia was slightly taken aback, then felt a chill run down her spine. This person was too sensitive; he could even detect a change in personality. But something didn't make sense. They had only met a few times, so how could he so easily determine that Moya's personality had changed significantly, rather than that she was just putting on an act?

"Role-playing mechanics don't require a specific personality, only behavior. But your personality has changed three times, which really confuses me." Daolin pulled a small pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Orsia's temple, coldly saying, "Who exactly are you?"

Orsia: "..." Threatening people at the drop of a hat, no wonder she's Mu Yegui's ally.

"Maybe it's just a different person," Mu Yegui said slowly, watching the scene unfold in silence.

From now on, everyone is a master of acting.

Mu Yegui had set several traps here and successfully tricked Shui Qi and Fernana.

Orsia is the owner of the instance, but she has always maintained the appearance of Moa, so both Moa and Orsia here are her. Only Lias and Muyegui know the truth.
