Chapter 75. Dekan Is Here to Experience Life

Just as the first night was about to arrive, everyone came to the kitchen where the ingredients were stored.

They were to divide the food for the remaining three days at this moment and take it back to their bedrooms.

Otherwise, after they dispersed tonight, the two Rebellious Challengers would definitely destroy the food.

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

Lilith said, looking at everyone.

There seemed to be no particularly obvious places in this mansion that needed to be solved.

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

Although they had tried to find mechanisms and hidden compartments, the conclusion they came to was that the structure of this mansion was very normal.

The only somewhat special place was a hexagram-shaped magic circle under the piano in the living room, with a faint red light lingering on one of its corners.

It looked like an altar of unknown significance, which could not be activated or destroyed.

During the day, small teams had gone to check the bedrooms, but they did not find any hidden information inside.

The useful information was basically in the library-like book collection room and the mansion owner's study.

Including a lot of materials related to this world.

As well as stories about this mansion and the territory.

【Legend has it that many years ago, this place was originally the mansion of Viscount Augustine.】

【Later, Viscount Augustine was discovered to be a vampire, so the church came to crusade against him.】

【Viscount Augustine schemed and lured his mortal enemies—the werewolf and the witch.】

【In the end, the vampire, werewolf, witch, and the church's crusade team fought to a mutual and grievous defeat.】

【The crusade team had no choice but to trap the heavily injured enemies in this old mansion.】

【Finally, the vengeful souls of the werewolf and the witch became the curse of this mansion.】

When Lilith summarized these clues, the core plot progress jumped directly to 2/3.

This indicated that there was still one last part of key information missing before the challenger could solve the core plot content.

However, as for where that last 1/3 of the information was, neither Cornelia nor Lilith had any clue.

They couldn't even deduce what the Rebellious Challengers' extra mission was.

They could only default to it being "kill all regular challengers".

After everyone dispersed later, tonight would very likely be a bloody night.

Cornelia subconsciously looked at me.

At times like this, she needed to ask her brain for help.

I met her gaze, just smiling without saying a word.

Cornelia seemed to understand something, turned her head, and no longer looked at him.

“Let's go to our bedrooms in batches later, with one group leaving every two minutes. This way, no one will know the room numbers of others. Also, let's have Miss Detective go first.”

Lilith suggested.

“Okay.”

No one had any objections.

This approach was mainly to protect Cornelia.

To prevent the werewolf and witch from easily knowing which room Cornelia would be staying in.

Cornelia didn't say much and walked straight towards the exit of the library. I naturally followed behind her.

“I suggest letting Miss Detective go to her room alone first.”

Lilith's voice suddenly rang out.

Both Cornelia and I stopped in our tracks and turned back to look at her.

“I don't mean to offend, I just want to remind you that even in a Shadow World entered as a team, it's still possible for one person to be a cultist in disguise. After all, they are too good at deceiving others.

Unless you absolutely trust him, I suggest you, Miss Detective, consider carefully.

Because your safety is of extraordinary significance to us.”

Lilith explained.

Before I could say anything, Cornelia hooked my elbow.

“I want to be with him.”

Cornelia's tone showed a rare firmness.

Just as I would lose my sense of security if I left Cornelia.

The same was true for Cornelia.

The body and the brain cannot be separated.

I looked at Lilith helplessly and shrugged.

“Since you trust each other, it was my offense.”

Lilith smiled and nodded in apology.

Her actual purpose was to test me.

After observing me for a day, she believed that this man was very dangerous.

He always had a faint, calm smile on his face.

Compared to coming to a mansion full of killing intent, he gave off the feeling that he was really here for a vacation at a snow mountain mansion.

Completely unreadable.

If this guy were an enemy, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

First, he would easily kill Miss Detective on the first night, and what would follow would be an unstoppable massacre.

But now, she could probably be sure that Miss Detective and he were not a temporary team.

Since he was trusted by Miss Detective, his identity should be innocent.

This made Lilith feel a lot more at ease.

And from Miss Detective's reaction, it was not difficult to deduce further.

After all, Miss Detective was an intelligence-type player, so her combat power should be relatively weak.

And her assistant was most likely an extremely powerful killer.

So for safety, even if the master and servant, a lone man and a lone woman, were in the same room, they would never be separated.

In just a few seconds, a series of analyses had already been carried out in Lilith's mind.

...

Cornelia and I entered bedroom number four on the second floor together.

The keys held by me, Cornelia, and the Cat Teacher were 203, 204, and 205 respectively.

The Cat Teacher, who had been in my shadow for a whole day, finally emerged as if he had regained his freedom.

The reason there was one less challenger was precisely because the Cat Teacher had hidden himself from the start.

Although the Cat Teacher's hidden presence would greatly increase the reasoning difficulty for other regular challengers.

But it would also confuse the Rebellious Challengers.

So both Cornelia and I tacitly did not reveal the Cat Teacher's existence to others.

As soon as we opened the heavy door, a single glance showed that this bedroom was more than three times the size of my dormitory living room.

But it didn't seem empty. It was fully furnished with furniture and daily necessities, and it was also a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

The moment I entered the room, I leaned back on the small sofa in the bedroom.

“Looking for clues is still a bit tiring.”

I lamented.

Cornelia also collapsed beside him.

“Exactly, we didn't get to play at all the whole day.”

Compared to the Demon Academy, the experience in this Shadow World was terrible.

Barren mountains, blizzards, and villas were clearly the perfect vacation setting.

“There won't be any more hard work starting tomorrow. We can enjoy this trip happily.”

“Mm!”

“You two, can you have a little sense of urgency, meow!”

Looking at the lazy appearance of these two, the Cat Teacher couldn't help but scold them.

“What's there to be nervous about.”

I reached out indifferently, grabbed the Cat Teacher, and then held him in my arms.

“Meow meow meow! You're not scared, but I am!”

He was just a pitiful little support.

Or rather, a true freeloader.

If I and Cornelia messed up, he would be done for along with us!

“This Shadow World is actually quite simple.”

“How is it simple, meow? There's a Rank 6 werewolf! And the clues are missing!”

“Actually, we don't need to care who the Rebellious Challengers are. As long as we kill the other seven people during the day, won't we be guaranteed to pass?”

“...”

The Cat Teacher was silent for a moment.

“Be a damn person, meow! If you really do that, you'll be thrown in prison!”

The Cat Teacher only felt that I was more terrifying than the Rebellious Challengers.
