Chapter 924

"Judging from last night's situation, Alice seems... very stupid?"

Detective Xiao Luoli tilted her head and said these somewhat suicidal words. One must know that Alice was hiding among them.

"Very stupid?"

The Gold-Rimmed Glasses Man looked puzzled.

"Yes, very stupid."

Detective Xiao Luoli insisted, and after organizing her thoughts, she said:

"If I were Alice, I would never attack Bai Ye on the first night. Even attacking the National Football Team's third brother, who has no right to question, would be much more profitable than attacking Bai Ye. If the third brother died, it would be a bolt from the blue for the eldest and second brothers. Besides, the possibility of the Cat Woman being harmed is even greater. In my initial prediction, Alice was most likely to attack the Cat Woman last night."

After entering reasoning mode, Detective Xiao Luoli completely disregarded her own safety and the thoughts of others.

"Assuming I am Alice, the order in which I attack the players is like this: attack the Cat Woman on the first night, the second brother on the second night, Pi Pang on the third night, the eldest brother on the fourth night, the glasses man on the fifth night, Bai Ye on the sixth night, and the third brother on the seventh night. Or, after the third or fourth night, attack myself to blend into the dead."

Detective Xiao Luoli's words made a lot of sense. Not only was she puzzled, but Su Xiao was also puzzled. Alice attacking him had nothing to do with the game, no matter how he thought about it. He even smelled a hint of personal vendetta in it.

What Su Xiao didn't understand was that he had no personal vendetta against Alice. Before entering the Demon Castle, he didn't even know Alice existed.

"Compared to the benefits of attacking me, the benefits of attacking the Cat Woman or the glasses man are indeed higher."

Su Xiao took out the Eternal Crystal Bottle and took a small sip, drinking about one-third of it.

The sweet spring water went down his throat, and a cool sensation flowed down his esophagus. His HP and mana recovered by a chunk.

"Therefore, I simply cannot understand Alice attacking you. Or rather, are you Alice? Pretending to be attacked last night—compared to becoming a 'dead person,' the status of the attacked is more convenient. This is a status higher than everyone else in the room except for the third brother. Alice is very likely not to disguise herself as a dead person; she is enjoying the process of the game. Staying in the room all the time is not something she is willing to accept, but after becoming the attacked, she can not only clear away most of the suspicion but also move freely and participate in the subsequent games with a high status, and even not be questioned for a long time."

As soon as Detective Xiao Luoli finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment. Things did indeed seem to be like this; the survivor after being attacked is far more convenient than becoming a "dead person."

"That makes some sense."

Su Xiao didn't argue. This game was about mutual suspicion. Players like Detective Xiao Luoli who often doubted others were less likely to be Alice.

"Of course, this could also be Alice's smoke bomb. Her purpose in attacking you on the first night was to frame you. But I have a strange feeling that compared to framing, it's more like a personal vendetta—the target is clear and has nothing to do with the benefits during the game."

Detective Xiao Luoli's reasoning ability was extremely strong. After her summary, everyone got a piece of information: there were only two possibilities for Alice attacking Su Xiao—Su Xiao was disguised as Alice, or Su Xiao had a personal vendetta with Alice.

"The theory of personal vendetta is somewhat unrealistic. Everyone present should be coming to the Demon Castle for the first time, therefore..."

Detective Xiao Luoli didn't finish the rest of her sentence. That sentence was: Su Xiao is disguised as Alice.

"Reasoning is not bad."

Su Xiao's expression remained normal.

"Aren't you going to refute it? According to normal human thinking, whether you are Alice or not, you should refute it, right?"

Detective Xiao Luoli looked at Su Xiao with burning eyes.

"At most, someone will use the right to question me. Judging from the clues known so far, I am indeed the most likely to be Alice."

"Then it's settled. Today I give up self-questioning; I choose to question you."

"As you wish."

Su Xiao held a cigarette in his mouth and leaned on the sofa.

"What are everyone's views?"

Detective Xiao Luoli looked at the crowd, and everyone had different expressions.

Pi Pang was thinking, the Cat Woman scratched her head with sharp claws, the Gold-Rimmed Glasses Man was hesitating about something, and the three brothers of the National Football Team were discussing in the team channel.

Five minutes passed, and no one spoke.

"It seems this method is not very good, Big Thigh Bai Ye."

Detective Xiao Luoli spread her hands.

"No one echoed; the fox's tail is hidden deep enough."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke. Detective Xiao Luoli seemed to be questioning him just now, but in reality, she had dug a hole, waiting for Alice to jump in.

If someone agreed with Detective Xiao Luoli's point of view at this time, that person was more than 50% likely to be Alice. Questioning Su Xiao would only waste a right to question, which was beneficial to Alice.

Finding that no one spoke, Detective Xiao Luoli spoke, her words shocking.

"I can prove that Bai Ye was indeed attacked last night."

"Hmm? How can you prove it?"

"My room is the closest to Bai Ye's. Last night, I heard someone walking in the doorway wearing high heels. At first, I couldn't confirm which room the sound came from. Just now, when Bai Ye said he fought Alice, no one else spoke up to refute it, which means no one else was attacked by Alice. Of course, this does not rule out Alice's trap."

Su Xiao's suspicion was mostly cleared. The three brothers of the National Football Team were a bit confused throughout; the plot was a bit complicated, and there were no "subtitles," which didn't suit the three of them.

"Ahem, we three brothers follow the public's stance."

The eldest brother of the National Football Team stood up to speak, then sat down.

"So, the clues are still unclear?"

The Cat Woman's expression was not good; she knew how dangerous her situation was.

"No, the clues are already very obvious."

As soon as Detective Xiao Luoli finished speaking, a prompt appeared.

Detective Xiao Luoli had proven herself; she was not Alice.

"The clues are already obvious to the point of being self-evident. We can use the simplest method of elimination. First, I and the third brother are not Alice. The possibility of the eldest brother, the second brother, and Bai Ye being Alice is also not high. Calculated this way, only Pi Pang, the glasses man, and the Cat Woman remain."

After this fluctuation wrapped around Su Xiao, he realized that this was a type of perception that had condensed into substance. The surrounding air became viscous, as if he had formed a swamp inside.

"Then won't we be able to win soon?"

"Alice is done for."

"Not necessarily."

Su Xiao poured a bucket of cold water, looking at the eldest and second brothers of the National Football Team.

"Pi Pang, the glasses man, and the Cat Woman are just more suspicious. Before we verify our identities, we three also have a chance of being Alice. If Alice really succeeds in hiding among us three, it will be troublesome."

Su Xiao's words made the smiles on the faces of the eldest and second brothers of the National Football Team disappear instantly.

"That is indeed the case, but our advantage is beyond doubt. When Alice chose to attack you, she was already at a disadvantage. Tomorrow I will be able to ferret out who Alice is, for sure! Unless she can reverse the situation instantly."

Detective Xiao Luoli's tone was certain; this was her confidence in her own reasoning ability.
