Chapter 656 Dinner
The next speaker was Rudi.
He briefly described the encounter between the four men and then ruled out the alibi.
Then he pointed out the crux of the problem:
"We now want to know what happened on the second floor, who Yumiko was with when she died, and what each of you has been doing since you were born. It would be best if your identities could be made public..."
"Well, in my opinion, since Baku-san is a senior, he should have some knowledge of identities and abilities, so he can at least determine some of their true identities. This will make it easier to catch the murderer."
Rudi used time and a calm tone to ease the students' panic and made a good start.
Especially taking identity photos.
New players don’t even know what their identity is. Their only advantage is the basic moral values of human beings.
After the first death, this balance was broken, and only by confirming friendly forces first could one ensure that they would not be backstabbed by their companions.
Then it was Yukino.
The cold-as-ice girl's eyes flashed with reluctance, and then she briefly explained the situation on the second floor:
"I was the last one I encountered. Before that, they seemed to be announcing the exercise..."
“Regarding this, I would like to confirm with Oreki-kun over there. Hmm… there is no need to deny it. You are probably not a student of our school. Don’t think of this as a test. Please answer the questions directly. Because… I have memorized the names and faces of all the students in the school. You are definitely not one of them.”
After a pause, Xueno continued:
"Under the arrangement of Mr. Explosive, we later formed groups of four to complete the task."
"Baku-san, me, Ebina, and Kawasaki are in a group."
"Hayama, Shibamotoza, Miura, and Yuigahama are one group."
"During this time, we are temporarily separated in pairs due to a different mission, which will take about five minutes. Therefore, the only thing I can ensure is that Ebina has no chance of taking action."
"Oh, by the way, let me add that before calling the police, I was in a daze for a while because of what I saw. After that, Ebina's mood was a little strange."
"Finally, I am a detective who can confirm whether a player has killed anyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bespectacled fujoshi Ebina who took over the conversation trembled all over.
"Ahaha, my experience is similar to Yukinoshita-san's, but I was the first to join the team. At the beginning, everyone was looking for companions, and then Baku-kun arranged the work."
"Hmm... well, my character is... [Undead], hehe, it's a character that can call the police after death, although I don't want to die yet."
Hearing this, Oreki paused...
Looking at Hikigaya who remained expressionless...
Who is lying?
After that it was Yuigahama.
"I, I don't know anything. Yumiko, Yumiko...she just exploded right before my eyes. Her head fell off..."
The child was so frightened that it was difficult for her to gather any useful information, but she revealed her identity as a [civilian].
Then Ye Shan spoke:
"Correction, it wasn't an explosion, but the neck was broken by a strange force. Because Explosion mentioned a few special professions before, in order to avoid unnecessary misleading, I am making the correction."
"Then... after we separated, the four of us carried out the mission. Usually, three of us would be on guard while one would be operating. But Miura suddenly said he wanted to go to the bathroom, so he asked Yuigahama to accompany him."
"About three minutes later, we heard Yuigahama's screams from the toilet, and we went in."
After a three-second pause, Ye Shan laughed bitterly:
"Okay, I have to confess. My identity is [Infected], belonging to the neutral camp. The condition for winning is to touch all players."
"But don't worry, I won't do that. We are all classmates, and there is no need to really do it even if it's just a drill. I hope the murderer can come forward himself."
Oreki played with his bangs.
A lot of new characters.
Neutral...The possibility of lying is not high. According to Hikigaya's words, Hayama should be a good guy, and revealing his identity is in line with his personality.
……
It's Saki Kawasaki's turn:
"I'm with Explosion-kun, we can testify for each other. And we only have five minutes, not enough for us to hide in the toilet and come back."
"Also, I am a [civilian] as well."
Next up is Bakunosuke:
"It's already obvious, the murderer is the one with the bun! You were the only one with her when she died. Even if we expand the scope, the four of you are all suspects! Hehe, I told you a long time ago, just stand up honestly. As long as you are sacrificed, everyone can survive. Isn't this a permanent solution?"
"Besides, fat guy over there, I told you, this is a drill! It's just that the special effects are more realistic! Humph, I'm telling you, I'm a Knight. If anyone doesn't throw that ball head out today, I'll kill him tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Shibamoto suddenly stood up and roared silently with his mouth open.
Yuigahama opened her eyes wide, shook her head continuously, and tears fell down her cheeks.
Bakunosuke grinned and said, "Aren't you afraid of death? If you don't listen to me, I'll kill you first."
It’s Oreki’s turn…
He first looked around at everyone, then said calmly:
"I am indeed a member of the special class, and that Explosive Man is not my colleague, he is lying. Also... my identity is the [Prophet]. At every meeting, I can verify the identity of a player..."
After these words were spoken, everyone held their breath.
"The person I am verifying is Explosion Master. His identity is [Explosion Genius] and he belongs to the evil camp."
At this time, some people cast suspicious glances over, and some looked towards the explosion.
Some people wondered why the two suddenly had a conflict.
But compared to Bakunosuke who revealed his identity from the beginning, this Oreki seemed more like someone who deliberately came out to attract hatred in order to protect Yuigahama.
In an instant, Ebina, Kawasaki Saki, and Hayama cast suspicious glances over.
Instead, Yukino seemed to be thinking about something.
Oreki looked around and felt good, so he continued to charge:
"My opinion is that we should eliminate Dinglang's Baku-kun first. After all, he said he is a special class, so it should be okay for him to sacrifice himself for the lives of his classmates."
Feeling some hostile looks, Oreki smiled and said:
"You have also overlooked some issues. From a personal perspective, everyone here is a classmate and friend. What on earth was the opportunity that made you come up with the vicious idea of attacking your friends in just thirty minutes?"
Oreki spread his hands and said, “I wonder, even if there was such a threat of a ‘death game’, how could they be ready to kill in such a short time? Because Baku-kun said this was a drill? I don’t think so.”
"So, the biggest suspects are me and Explosion-kun over there. Two outsiders are the most suspicious, right?"
"Of course, I have already made up my mind to sacrifice myself. If all else fails, I can trade one for one with this Explosive Lord."
"Finally, this is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill!"
Oreki's words reopened the wounds that the students were unhappy about mentioning.
Yes, Bakunosuke is just a stranger. Even if he said it was a drill, would anyone really attack their friends and classmates? And in just 30 minutes?
Everyone looked around with suspicion, and finally the focus shifted from Yuigahama to Bakunosuke and Oreki. Oreki finished his speech.
Then, it was Hikigaya's turn.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Oreki frowned:
“I don’t think Oreki is a bad person. On the contrary, I think everyone who spoke up before, except Yukinoshita-san, has problems!”
"The four of us are together. There is a piece of information that you may have overlooked! Miura is an idol trainee! When she dies, she will inform all the good players."
"And none of you who spoke before me mentioned this, except Yukinoshita."
"And..., Ebina, I am the [Immortal]!"
Chapter 657: Gathering in the cafeteria, game over?
After Hikigaya finished speaking, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Ebina.
This rotten girl, who usually wears glasses and whose head is full of pornographic garbage, obviously felt the pressure. She tried to open her mouth to argue, but her voice could not be heard by others.
Hikigaya continued:
"Don't be nervous. This is not your turn. It's not strange to hide your identity in the first round of discussion, but I hope that I can hear your true identity and abilities when we gather in the broadcasting room later."
As he said this, he looked at Bakunosuke and said, "I will follow my own wishes and vote for Mr. Baku this round. Because according to you, this is just a drill. In other words, among all the people present, only you can be completely sure of the authenticity of the drill. Therefore, no matter what your purpose is, it will be absolutely fine for you to be eliminated first."
"If the exercise is true, then you will not really die, and we will not suffer any loss if the game fails. If it is false, you who deceived us are definitely not a good person. So we made the right choice."
"I think everyone should have no objection to this."
Many people nodded.
Oreki frowned.
What is Hikigaya doing?
If he opens his mouth and uses his Idol ability to expose me, then he can easily get the remaining two votes and the game will be over.
There should be no loss to anyone in voting for oneself.
The only thing that could cause Hikigaya to change his mind would be the status of the other players after Neutral wins.
The players don't know this. The only ones who know this are Oreki and the opponent's Bakunosuke.
"Is it because of a trust issue? Because I concealed the drill?"
Now Oreki was in trouble.
He originally thought that he could complete the task smoothly by getting straight to the point, but now it seems that he still underestimated the complexity of human nature. With his identity exposed, it is difficult for the "Fool" to win.
Of course, Oreki didn't think there was anything wrong with revealing his true identity at the beginning. If he succeeded, the benefits would definitely be huge. Although he was at a big disadvantage now, as long as he continued to convince others, the plan could still go on.
Moreover, Ayaka's identity is also very strange. She is definitely a neutral or lower card, but Hikigaya is protecting her, which seems very strange.
As for Hikigaya's identity.
Under the circumstances at that time, the probability of Hikigaya lying was very low. His ability also followed the logic.
On the contrary, it seems that Ebina, the [Immortal], heard it from someone else.
Under the premise that the senior person is likely to inherit the original role, Oreki initially deduced that the two were twin wolves.
As my thoughts raced, Hikigaya finished his speech.
Finally, only Caijia was left.
This fair-skinned girl was still very timid, and basically repeated Hikigaya's mental journey and ended her speech directly.
The only difference is that this little girl proposed the option of everyone abstaining together.
This is obviously not true given that there are other students being held hostage.
In the end, as Oreki expected, Ayaka blurred the issue of her own identity and seemingly skipped this step unintentionally.
Soon, everyone came to the voting stage.
After a tense countdown, the voting results were announced.
Oreki 2 tickets
Bakunosuke 4 votes
Ebina 1 vote
Yuigahama 3 votes
One abstention.
This result surprised Oreki greatly.
"Logically speaking, if the Wolves want to maintain their winning rate, then it's only natural for them to vote for me. So, is this an internal conflict?"
"No, that's not right. The Wolves didn't know I wanted to get myself out, so it was correct to target Yuigahama, the first suspect."
Oreki was helpless.
He once again realized the complexity of human hearts, which sometimes cannot be analyzed with simple gaming thinking.
