Chapter 545: Where Are You?
The ti to identify the body is 10 minutes. and Tapford were out of the field before that.
Most of the ti, it’s fast compared to filling or skipping hours to get the most out of your research.
Several NPCs had questionable expressions, but the mood changed when Tapford opened his mouth.
“We need to find soone who can obtain a special test solution through an alchemist or the Flower and Bird Bureau or another guild. There are traces left inside.”
“alchemy? Is that true?”
“It would be better not to say on weak grounds, Tayford. It only adds to the confusion in the investigation.”
No one believed Tapford’s words.
Day mbers may send up to the number of suspected criminals to the scaffold, up to the number of people killed during the night.
It’s fortunate to catch Bam’s affiliation safely, but what if you accidentally execute an NPC of the sa affiliation?
It’s no different from cutting your own strength. Especially in gas like this, numbers matter. Even if people have their own principles, once the atmosphere is ford, they will be swept away.
Besides…
‘This is a life and death ga.’
It’s not a mafia ga where friends gather, it’s a real death ga. The executed do not return.
There’s one more rule here.
‘The executed person’s affiliation is revealed after he dies.’
Can you handle the aftermath that will blow if the target you have driven to death belongs to the sa affiliation? That’s what the NPCs gathered here are asking.
As ti passes, the number of victims increases, so it moves quickly. But you have to think carefully.
For those who had been here before, it was a rule that must be followed.
At most, a day has passed. You probably know better than anyone that poor reasoning is poison.
I wanted to see their reaction, so I quietly watched them from behind.
I rembered the faces of those who were wary of Tapford’s words. It is possible that they belong to the day. possibility anyway.
‘It’s possible for Bam to act, so blind faith is prohibited.’
There were many ways to hide one’s identity, and among them were imrsed in other affiliations and acting.
A simple but at the sa ti quite effective thod. This ant that he hadn’t figured out anything yet.
I’ll step out slowly.
“There is a hardening fluid. I have it too. That’s because I’m also a potion maker who does business with the Flower and Bird Bureau.”
He took out a reagent from his treasure bag and shook it.
People’s eyes are drawn to the liquid that sizzles in the transparent bottle.
-I
pulled out the cork and poured the reagent on the floor. At the sa ti, it used magic power to vibrate.
-Tooung
Instantly, hardened liquid bounced off the ground.
“There was hardening fluid on site. So spilled from fallen cups. As you can see, it is normally no different from water, but it hardens when certain conditions are t. If it hardened when I drank it, it would have blocked my airway.”
The NPCs are buzzing at my remarks.
“Is that correct?”
“I don’t know much about alchemy, so I don’t know.”
“If there was such a thing in the first place, I would have used it a long ti ago. I’ve never killed in that way while I’ve been here.”
“Suspicious.”
Those who were looking at each other look at with suspicious eyes.
I guess so. Looking at the reaction, there has been no murder using hardening fluid so far. until i co Just in ti for this, I have hardening fluid.
Given the odds, it was reasonable to suspect that I ca forward after committing the cri. That is, except for one thing.
“You are right to suspect , but I want to tell you that I am not the culprit.”
“How can you believe that?”
“I ca here this morning. It hadn’t been here before.”
“Can you prove it?”
“Words can do anything.”
That’s not wrong. If it were , it would have co out that way.
Stepping forward is risky. If I couldn’t prove my innocence, I would have kept my mouth shut.
“Continue west of town, there will be a house. Well, I’d say it was a house, to be precise. Because I was the one who took care of the Gonaam there.”
“Gonaam!”
“You know that guy. I knew he went out of town, but he died.”
“No, but you were beaten by a climber who just climbed the 90th floor?”
Those who are confused by the word Gonaam.
“If you don’t believe , go check it out. Oh, this is the rulebook from there. As you said, it’s not sothing a climber would have.”
He took out the rulebook from his pocket and opened it.
After coming up to the 91st floor, I have never been systematically given a rule book. In other words, this is an item that is only given to NPCs.
not even evil Only you and I know these important things.
‘Finding out the rules is also an ability.’
Let’s not be mistaken. NPCs do not unconditionally side with climbers. It is said that depending on the situation, it can beco an enemy at any ti.
In order to stand on the sa level as them, you have to prove yourself without asking for favors from NPCs. Whether it’s skill, strength, personality or whatever.
The mont you look down on them, they get eaten. Depending on the strategy, lowering oneself and lowering the enemy’s vigilance might be a way, but it didn’t work for .
“And, frankly, it doesn’t really matter, does it? I’m just giving you useful information. If you belong to the day, thank you, and even if I belong to the night, it’s no different than betraying them, right?”
Either way helps catch the culprit right away. My identity is not important. No matter what you say, they will be suspicious anyway, so if you can use it neatly, let’s go to a relationship where you can use it.
Rather, it’s comfortable because you don’t have to worry about this side.
Those who understand my aning laugh at .
“haha. Should I call this self-confidence or recklessness?”
“I don’t hate it that much. After all, the only thing you can trust here is yourself.”
“You have to make your own judgnt. That is not correct.”
There are two main things I want to do here.
I wanted to see what kind of people they were reacting to the first hardening liquid, and the second was…
‘We need to create an atmosphere where they actively seek out the culprit.’
If you make a wrong reasoning, you will be swallowed up by the burden you have to deal with, and nothing will be solved if you stay still.
Hiding behind those who co forward and trying to buy yourself will not make any progress.
You have to poke it like this to get a response. Those who belong to the night will move more carefully, and those who belong to the day will try to find clues sohow.
In the process of intertwining with each other, there will surely be mistakes. You have to aim for it.
The atmosphere has softened sowhat.
“okay. Let’s cull out so people to look where Gonaam used to be. As for the rest, it would be better to move around the clues you found this ti.”
Tayford stepped in and urged action.
I slowly raised my head and looked at the sky. It’s still morning. There was plenty of ti until night fell.
‘Let’s see. Who is suspicious?’
I took a step back and looked at the bustling crowd.
* * *
[The night is coming.]
The second night has co.
The ti everyone went to their respective hos.
“Hmm. I knew it would turn out like this, but it’s a bit disappointing.”
I, too, took a seat in a suitable building.
There were many empty houses in the village as many victims appeared each ti the ga progressed.
No one went to the scaffold during the day. The evidence is too weak to hang soone already.
No one here was stupid enough to act rashly.
“About 3 people were particularly quick to act.”
There are a few people who have been moved by the saying that alchemy or soone who can have special reagents would be the culprit.
First up is the tapered. Then a woman who looked like an elf and a man whose face was covered with bandages.
From my point of view, they are the most likely to belong to the night.
Right now it’s the doubt stage. Let’s keep an eye on the details.
“Kimiura…..”
There is an NPC that has been pointed out the most by NPCs. It was said that he was the one with profound knowledge of alchemy in this town.
Although he passionately argued that he was not, no one believed him.
As a result of rushing to his studio to check, hardened liquid ca out. There was talk of sending him to the execution site imdiately, but that never happened.
One reason.
‘It’s a known fact that Kimiu is an alchemist. That ans soone else might have stolen the hardening fluid and used it.’
I thought this one was more likely.
One of his arms is prosthetic. He was wearing a hextech arm made in Framberg. They don’t match the handprints I saw at the murder scene.
At least that ans he didn’t move himself. I even thought about being an accomplice.
“If that’s the case, there’s no reason to spray the hardening fluid on the floor.”
Considering that hardening fluid was intentionally sprayed, the real culprit must have tried to drive Kim Miu as the culprit.
If Kimiu wasn’t an idiot, no one would have believed him easily. You don’t know when you might be betrayed, but you don’t have to risk your life to move together.
Looking at it from here, it seed like there was no special inco, but it wasn’t.
“I’ve gathered a few clues.”
“To that.”
first.
The criminal has knowledge of alchemy.
If I hadn’t co forward, I would have done the instigation myself.
He said that he was proficient in alchemy, but the liquid that fell on the floor was hardened liquid.
In other words, the culprit was later in the order of field investigation than .
At the sa ti, he has yet to reveal his skills to other NPCs. Maybe he’s a relatively newcor to the 91st floor.
If other NPCs knew about her alchemy skills, she would have been the first to be frad as a criminal like Kim Miu.
second then.
‘He’s close to Kimiu.’
Curing liquid is a reagent that is more difficult to make than you think.
Above all, the dicinal materials used were precious and it took quite a bit of ti to process them. It’s a bonus that there is a nasty sll while working.
I looked around inside and outside the village, but I didn’t see any herbs growing in the wild, and no one outside of Kimiu’s workshop slled the foul sll.
The hardened liquid used in the cri was made by Kim Miu.
Of course, in order to steal an item, you had to know that it was in Kimiu’s workshop.
‘At the very least, you have to have been in Kimiu’s workshop, or you should be able to hear the story from him.’
And there are very few people who fit all these conditions.
I’m sorry for Kim Miu, but it’s hard to say that his human relationship is wide even with empty words.
At least 4 NPCs were interacting with each other. Only one of them joined relatively recently.
“Zeraf.”
It was the NPC who brought the magma fairy.
It cald my heart coldly.
“Hey, aren’t you sleeping?”
Because there was soone who called like that.
“Aren’t you asleep yet?”
“Would you be able to sleep? You never know when.”
It was a magma fairy.
Still, they had a relationship and were more trustworthy than other NPCs, so they decided to use the sa building.
They know about my skills, so even if they belong to the night club, they won’t target . Because the risk is so great.
In particular, I also have Deokchun. Even if I lower my guard, if I don’t deceive Deokchun’s eyes, a surprise attack is impossible.
good night. Let’s dig up what we’ve done with Zeraf until tomorrow, and now.
‘Let’s check where the magma fairy is.’
