She shook her head, trying to dispel the sowhat eerie atmosphere and managed a smile as best as she could.
"Let’s just go in, he won’t get mad."
The Hero gently pushed the door, which a mont ago was tightly closed, and it creaked open.
The Hero looked at her hand in confusion, then cast that confusion aside the next mont as she walked into the ancient mansion with her friends—
The next mont, a shriek echoed throughout the ancient house.

"Grandpa—!"
The Hero’s scream nearly shattered all the windows of the mansion.
Her pupils quivered, disbelievingly staring at the head placed on the desk.
Who else could it be if not the old man with the tragic face, usually so stern in expression but also detailed with care?
Limbs hung from the ceiling, and the blackened blood sared across the entire bookshelf depicted a bizarre abstract painting along with the scattered skeletons.
In front of this extrely cruel scene, imnse terror and grief seized the Hero’s heartbeat, dizzying her mind, nearly stopping her breath.
However, just when she thought she would go mad in sorrow, what erged in her heart wasnaceous sadness or anger but an abrupt, detached sense of unreality.
She thought this was because she couldn’t accept such a grueso reality, but the more she focused on the scene, the stronger this sense of unreality beca.
There was no sll of blood, the number of human bones seed wrong, and the fracture looked more like snapped wood than flesh...
Although not fully understood, the knowledge derived from the Healer about the human body made the scrutinizing Hero frown slightly.
"How could this be—who killed the Hero’s grandpa!"
A petite shadow by her side cried out in shock, yet the call seed insincerely delivered, like a poor actor reading from a script.
The Hero’s expression beca puzzled again; neither she nor the Little Girl should have such inconsequential reactions at such a tragic scene.
[Due to the gruesoness of the scene (100 ), The Truth of Death 30=41, but the Hero felt sothing was off (41), the Hero is not impacted]
Nevertheless, the Little Girl’s words reminded her.
"Right, the murderer... whoever did this, I must make them pay—in the na of grandpa!"
The Hero’s eyes hardened with determination, she was set on catching that brutal murderer—

Awakening from her unrest, with her resolve strengthened, the Hero began searching for clues in this grueso and strange scene.
However, even though the murderer’s actions were reckless, they were intricately executed, and the chaotic scene was thoroughly destroyed...
At least that’s what the Hero believed.
It wasn’t so much that the Hero couldn’t find any clues, but rather she couldn’t analyze any useful information from these traces.
With the help of the guards, they gathered up grandpa’s remains, waiting for the day to lay them to rest.
"Grandpa... rest assured, I will definitely let you rest in peace."
As dusk approached, the Hero looked solemnly at her grandpa, now properly placed in a makeshift wooden box.
By the way, because the body looked very complete after being pieced together, much like a large doll, the process was not at all horrifying.
"Dusk has arrived, it’s ti to rest, shall we continue the investigation tomorrow?" the Little Girl suggested.
The Hero hesitated as she looked at the darkening skies; what if the murderer escaped during this ti?
But then again, if the murderer wanted to escape, they would have fled before she found grandpa’s body. It would actually be simpler to pin them down by just looking for soone missing from the village or a recent outsider.
So there was no use in panicking now.
After understanding this, with eyes opening and closing, the Hero found herself awake from bed.
Unknowingly, it was the next day.
1. The Little Girl is dead!
2. Go ask the villagers for information
3. It’s all down to my Hero’s intuition♛
4. The village chief grandma ca to visit
5. Grandpa’s corpse is missing
6. The Hunting Knowledge has arrived
7. The Hero is reported
8. Observe in the village
9. Grandpa is alive!
10. Critical Success/Extre Failure

"To deduce the criminal on intuition, isn’t that just plain lynching?"
"Of course not!"
To the Little Girl’s question, the Hero responded with a righteous stance.
"The one who committed such a heinous cri must have a heart as filthy as a Goblin’s, which ans I just need to find a Goblin in the crowd, and that’s the sa as finding the murderer."
The Hero concluded with bizarre logic while the guards and Little Girls all nodded in sudden understanding, without any doubt.
"Goblins are crafty by nature, but that evil stench is impossible to hide."
The Hero stood up, returning to the cri scene.
"That’s right, I don’t need to focus on concrete clues, just lock onto that evil scent—"
[Hero’s Intuition (50 to succeed)]

"Evil scent, evil scent... huh."
The Hero pondered hard on the scene, yet was utterly perplexed.
