There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

"Did Kan and the others enter the confrontational instance this time?"

"Yes, the basis for this kind of internal confrontation-type Shadow World trigger is that among the challengers there are people who strongly want to destroy the real world, and these people will also become reverse challengers."

"The villa in the mountain, the killing in the middle of the night, I always feel that this movie world will be very bloody..."

"This kind of dungeon of mutual suspicion and massacre often tests the psychological quality of the challenger. Sometimes the psychological defense of the challenger has collapsed before the final moment."

"Come on, if these two unlucky things go in, the god of death will have to crawl."

074 Cornelia Becomes a Great Detective

Several men and women gathered in the living room of the villa.

They are almost in groups of twos and threes, and their positions are scattered.

Whether it is the dark night sky, the magnificent snow scene, or the howling cold wind, they cannot be moved.

Because the situation in the living room is not harmonious.

In the center of the living room is a half-foot-high mini stage covered with a gloss black floor.

A classical grand piano and leather piano chairs glowing dimly are placed on the stage.

In addition to the piano and chairs, there is one other person on the stage.

Or rather, a corpse that has not been completely icy——

A thin middle-aged man was lying on the piano keyboard, wearing luxurious clothes.

It looked as if he had just performed a powerful piece of music, and then fell into a deep sleep of extreme fatigue.

What was horrifying was that a meandering stream of blood oozed out from under him, forming a nearly circular pool of blood on the stage floor, on which lay a hideous knife covered in blood quietly.

Bright red blood flowed down the edge of the middle-aged man's front clothes and the piano keyboard, and the breast pocket handkerchief on the edge of his left breast pocket was already stained red.

The pool of blood reflects the light brown paint base of the piano and the thin body of the player who seems to have experienced vicissitudes of life, showing a permeating dark color.

At the same time, the reminder is still being updated, and everyone is watching with bated breath.

【Each challenger has a key that can open the blessed bedroom. 】

[Each bedroom can accommodate up to two challengers, and the blessing will become invalid after exceeding the number. 】

[Solving the riddle of the ancient house is of great significance to the regular challenger. 】

[One of the regular challengers is a detective. 】

Both Durkan and Cornelia couldn't help touching their pockets and found that there was indeed a key in it.

In addition, the clothes on them seem to have an uncomfortable feeling.

Not out of shape.

Just dressed too hastily.

It was as if he had just gotten out of bed, quickly changed his clothes and rushed downstairs.

This must have something to do with the background of the plot.

Generally speaking, the two don't care about the plot.

but.

This time Cornelia's costume is very special.

I saw her wearing a detective beret and a beige woolen coat.

Even if she didn't do anything, she had already attracted the attention of the audience.

And Durkan next to her seems to be her assistant.

"Hey, that's not right, why is this special status given to Cornelia?"

The students on the sidelines were a little puzzled.

"Generally speaking, special identities do not necessarily have special abilities, but they are often heralded. For example, the identity of a detective in a reasoning plot is often given to the person who 'has the best chance to expose the identity of the enemy'."

"She will also be the primary target of the reverse challenger..."

Immediately afterwards, the most basic plot information also began to be updated.

[Initial scene: The owner of this mansion, Sir O'Rourke, played a famous local song "Blood Resurrection Overture" 10 minutes ago to wake everyone up. 】

[His playing is brilliant, and anyone who knows a little bit about music or even a bum who doesn't know music at all should applaud him. 】

[But no one would admire or appreciate it at that time, because it was six o'clock in the morning, and the residents were all asleep. They indulged in the warm quilt and enjoyed a very comfortable rest. 】

【His gorgeous movement has awakened the dreams of one resident after another, making them angry, helpless, and painful. 】

[After he played for a while, finally some furious residents couldn't take it anymore and decided to go to the living room to stop the performance. 】

[But before the guest had time to turn on the headlights in the living room, the sound of the piano stopped. 】

[The next ear-piercing scream woke everyone up. 】

[So gradually, everyone gathered in the living room, shocked, vigilant, and thinking. 】

[Core plot progress 1/3]

At this point, the reminder finally stopped.

From the perspective of the mechanism of the shadow world, the werewolf and witch who lurk in the dark and have absolute power have too much advantage.

So if you want to find out their identity in the daytime when you can counter them, you have to use plot clues.

And the werewolf and witch also need to find a way to prevent the decryption from happening secretly.

The owner of the mansion should not have committed suicide, but it was too much like suicide.

But the current clues are difficult to point out who the murderer is.

So everyone in the living room looked at Cornelia.

Seems to be waiting for her to speak first.

Cornelia looked at everyone blankly.

He neither spoke nor flinched in his eyes.

Her silence did not make people feel confused, but made many challengers feel at ease.

Sure enough, he is a calm person with a detective temperament.

It's just time passing by.

The atmosphere in the living room seemed a little frozen.

Cornelia looked at Durkan helplessly.

Durkan was patting his cheeks with his hands, as if trying to wake himself up.

This weather is really easy to make people sleepy.

"what happened?"

He noticed Cornelia's attention, met her gaze, looked around again, and immediately understood Cornelia's dilemma.

She was in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

"Just say what you want, just play freely, and treat me as your assistant."

Durkan tilted his head slightly and whispered in her ear.

"Ah."

Cornelia nodded.

Then she looked at everyone and said sincerely: "I didn't think of anything, please don't count on me."

"call."

Hearing this, a beautiful girl with an elegant temperament laughed.

It seems that because of Cornelia's words, the tense atmosphere in the whole living room was slightly eased.

"Anyway, let's talk about it first."

The beautiful girl took the call.

She looks about 16 years old, with a slender figure and a beautiful appearance. It is not difficult to guess that she should be an aristocrat in the real world.

"My name is Lilith, a second-year student at Philographer College, and I am good at reasoning and deciphering the shadow world."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Cornelia, smiled and asked:

"Miss Detective, if you have no clue, would you mind giving me your job?"

Cornelia hesitated.

All the challengers present knew that Cornelia, who had the identity of a detective, was the leader of the audience.

Her words carry weight.

Just as she was about to look to Durkan for instructions, Durkan patted her on the back lightly.

She immediately understood what Durkan meant——

Play freely and don't look at him.

So Cornelia nodded towards Lilith.

She had become a detective in a daze, for fear of dragging down the challengers.

And here just came out a guy who looked smarter and offered to take her job.

I can only say it couldn't be better.

Lilith's mouth curved slightly.

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Detective."

Although the content of the words was very humble, Lilith's tone did not conceal the arrogance in her bones.

It seems that she is proud of getting back the identity that should belong to her.

"If you don't mind, let's chat casually first."
