The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Lilith naturally took the lead in the conversation.

She knew there was no need to induce people to reveal their information through questioning or censorship.

Apart from the Resurrected cultists listed on the wanted posters, the cultists lurking in the shadows all have flawless identities and explanations.

You can't tell them apart just by talking to them.

After saying that, she sat down on the sofa by herself.

Cornelia silently labeled her as "Young Lady" in her mind.

Meanwhile, a tall, spirited young woman who had always followed Lilith remained standing behind the sofa.

So she is the young lady's bodyguard.

Seemingly realizing that this state of mutual wariness would hinder the decryption mission, the others gradually moved closer to the sofa.

"The three of us are knights of the Kingdom of Loran."

A seemingly cheerful young man pointed to himself and his two companions and said.

They then began introducing themselves.

Cornelia couldn't remember so many names at once, but she concluded that they were a three-person team: [Kingdom Knights] *3.

I came to challenge the world of film in order to boost my year-end performance.

It's very realistic. Cornelia thinks there shouldn't be any problems with these three people.

The last two remaining were twin sisters, both stunningly beautiful and appearing to be students.

“We are third-year students at Brodia Academy. I am the assassin, and my sister is the healer.”

Although the two look alike, the younger sister has upturned eyes and appears slightly assertive, while the older sister has downturned eyes and looks pitiful.

Cornelia labeled the last two as "Assassin Sister" and "Healer Sister".

Apart from Cornelia Dekan Cat Teacher, the other seven are all foreigners.

However, being a foreigner has its advantages.

They may not have heard of Dekan and Cornelia.

After all, the world is too big, and there are too many strange people and interesting stories.

Even if other challengers have heard of their glorious deeds, they probably don't know what Dekan and Cornelia look like.

Finally, after everyone else had finished their introductions, they all turned to look at the taciturn detective Cornelia and her assistant.

Before Cornelia could speak, Dekan said first:

"My name is Bachcher, and I am the maid of my young lady. She is not fond of talking, so please forgive her."

He then gracefully bowed to the crowd and retreated back behind Cornelia.

This time, he only wanted to be the man behind Cornelia.

Hidden strength and name.

Cornelia immediately understood.

"My name is Olive."

Cornelia's identity is innocent, and there is no need for her to deliberately reveal any information.

Dekan meant for her to keep quiet.

The other challengers' eyes lit up.

So, the detective is also a noble lady from some family?

Upon closer reflection, since the Shadow World chose her as the hope of the regular challengers, she must have extraordinary abilities.

And to have always maintained such a low profile is probably because he is hiding his true abilities.

It's not just her identity, but also her intelligence.

It turns out he's the type who keeps his true abilities hidden and appears foolish but is actually quite wise.

This made Lilith, the "Young Lady," slightly embarrassed.

She couldn't help but take a closer look at Cornelia.

Yes, this composed, reserved yet elegant demeanor suggests either someone who is not an aristocrat or someone who is a hidden, high-ranking nobleman.

I was mistaken just now.

So it seems the detective wasn't without ideas.

Instead, they wanted to remain calm and observe the situation from an outsider's perspective.

Wonderful.

Let's have a good competition then.

A fighting spirit seemed to ignite in Lilith's eyes as she stared at Cornelia for a moment.

"But now there is a very serious problem."

Lilith glanced around at everyone and continued, "Where is the tenth challenger?"

There were only nine challengers present.

"Isn't that the one on the piano?"

The Kingdom Knight asked.

Lilith shook her head.

"Obviously not. That person is clearly an original character from the Shadow World. The Shadow World doesn't allow challengers to die at the start, so we are currently missing a challenger, and we don't know whether he is friend or foe. This undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of our deduction."

Everyone fell silent.

That's really outrageous!

It was clearly stated that all challengers started in the living room, but no matter how you count, there are always nine people.

"Miss Olive, do you have any thoughts?"

Lilith looked at Cornelia and asked.

"I don't think this is an important question."

Cornelia, adhering to the principles of freedom of expression and the fear of saying too much and making a mistake, answered in this way without misleading the other challengers.

After saying that, she didn't intend to explain anything further.

Lilith was silent for a moment, then roughly understood what Cornelia meant.

Indeed, there's no point in dwelling on this issue any longer.

Extremely simplified thinking.

"Alright, since Olive has said so, let's skip this topic for now."

Lilith smiled with relief and continued:

"I suggest that we try to act together during the daytime, or at least keep each other in sight, since there is strength in numbers."

"If we can't find the enemy's identity on the first day, we'll split up and hide in our bedrooms at night."

"If the two of them can work together to temporarily resist a level 6 werewolf, then it is recommended that they live together."

"If two people working together can be instantly killed by the werewolf, it is recommended to split up into individual players to increase interference. Whoever is attacked must leave as many clues as possible."

"Olive, what do you think?"

Cornelia: "Okay."

Seeing Cornelia nod, everyone else followed suit in agreement.

If everyone stays together at night, they are likely to be wiped out by the werewolves.

Even if eight people work together, they would still be easily defeated by a level six werewolf attack.

The right solution is to utilize the protection of the room.

However, this inevitably leads to a harsh reality—

There is a high probability that there will be casualties.

Those who sacrifice themselves will also have the opportunity to obtain intelligence.

So, the group began to explore the structure of the mansion together.

The mansion has two floors, each with five bedrooms, numbered 101-105 and 201-205 respectively.

For security reasons, everyone agreed not to reveal which room each key belonged to on the first day.

The first floor has a living room and a kitchen with plenty of food, while the second floor has a study and a huge library.

Aside from a brief exploration of the mansion's exterior—the cliffs, the severed bridge, and the extremely harsh weather that threatens to engulf anyone—there's something else to discover.

He spent almost all of his remaining time in his study and library.

They are searching for relevant clues as much as possible.

Before I knew it, it was already nine o'clock at night.

There is one hour left until the werewolves' activity time.

075 Dekan came to experience life.

As the first night approached, everyone came together to the kitchen where the ingredients were stored.

They needed to distribute the remaining three days' worth of food at this moment and take it back to their bedroom.

Otherwise, once they split up tonight, the two rebels will definitely destroy the food.

"Alright, we've investigated all the places we could. It seems we can only pray for peace tonight."

Lilith looked at everyone and said.

There doesn't seem to be anything particularly obvious in this mansion that needs to be deciphered.

Apart from the ten bedrooms, there are no inaccessible secret rooms.
