Reincarnation Paradise-Chapter 932: Doubt and Digging

"Judging from last night, it seems like Alice is... very stupid?"

The little detective girl tilted her head as she uttered these potentially suicidal words, knowing that Alice was hidden among the crowd.

"Very stupid?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked puzzled.

"Yes, very stupid," the little detective girl insisted firmly, organizing her thoughts before continuing:

"If I were Alice, I would never have attacked Byakuya on the first night. Even attacking National Soccer Player No. 3, who doesn't have the right to question, would be more profitable than attacking Byakuya. If National Soccer Player No. 3 died, it would be a huge blow to National Soccer Player No. 1 and No. 2. Moreover, the likelihood of Catwoman being attacked was higher. In my initial prediction, Alice was most likely to attack Catwoman last night."

The little detective girl, once in deduction mode, completely disregarded her safety and the thoughts of others.

"Assuming I were Alice, my attack order would be first night Catwoman, second night National Soccer Player No. 2, third-night Pifat, fourth night National Soccer Player No. 1, fifth-night Glasses, sixth night Byakuya, and seventh night National Soccer Player No. 3. Or I might attack myself after the third or fourth night to blend in with the deceased."

The little detective girl's reasoning was sound, and she wasn't the only one puzzled. Su Xiao was also confused as to why Alice would attack him. It seemed unrelated to the game and even hinted at a personal vendetta.

What baffled Su Xiao was that he had no personal grievances with Alice. Before entering the Devil's Castle, he didn't even know Alice existed.

"Compared to the benefits of attacking me, attacking Catwoman or Glasses would indeed be more profitable."

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

The sweet spring water went down his throat, bringing a refreshing coolness that spread through his body, restoring a portion of his health and mana.

"So, I can't understand why Alice attacked you. Or perhaps, are you Alice? Pretending to be attacked last night. Being an 'attacked' survivor is more convenient than being a 'deceased'. This is the highest status apart from National Soccer Player No. 3. Alice might not disguise herself as deceased because she enjoys the game process. Hiding in a room isn't her style, but as an attacked survivor, she can clear most suspicions and participate in the game with high status without being questioned for a long time."

As soon as the little detective girl finished speaking, everyone looked at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment. It indeed seemed plausible that surviving an attack was more convenient than becoming a 'deceased'.

"There's some logic to that."

Su Xiao didn't argue. This game was about mutual suspicion, and someone like the little detective girl, who frequently suspected others, was less likely to be Alice.

"Of course, this could also be Alice's smokescreen. Her purpose in attacking you on the first night might be to frame you. But I have a strange feeling that it's more like a personal vendetta with a clear target, unrelated to the game's benefits."

The little detective girl's reasoning was sharp. After her summary, everyone got a piece of information: Alice attacking Su Xiao had two possibilities. Either Su Xiao was Alice in disguise, or Su Xiao had a personal vendetta with Alice.

"Personal vendetta seems unrealistic. You should all be coming to the Devil's Castle for the first time, so..."

The little detective girl didn't finish her sentence, which was: Su Xiao was Alice in disguise.

"Good deduction."

Su Xiao remained expressionless.

"Won't you refute? According to normal thinking, you should refute whether you are Alice or not."

The little detective girl looked intently at Su Xiao.

"At most, someone will use their questioning right on me. Based on the known clues, I indeed seem most likely to be Alice."

"Then it's settled. Today, I'll forgo self-questioning and choose to question you."

"Suit yourself."

Su Xiao leaned back on the sofa, cigarette in mouth.

"What do you all think?"

The little detective girl looked at the others, who had varied expressions.

Pifat was deep in thought, Catwoman scratched her head with sharp claws, and the man with gold-rimmed glasses hesitated. The three National Soccer Players discussed in their team channel.

Five minutes passed, and no one spoke.

"It seems this method isn't working, Byakuya."

The little detective girl spread her hands.

"No one agrees, the fox's tail is hidden deep."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke. The little detective girl seemed to question him but dug a pit for Alice to jump into.

If someone agreed with the little detective girl's view now, that person was more than 50% likely to be Alice. Questioning Su Xiao would just waste a questioning right, benefiting Alice.

Seeing no one speak, the little detective girl spoke again, surprising everyone.

"I can prove Byakuya was indeed attacked last night."

"Hmm? How can you prove that?"

"My room is closest to Byakuya's. Last night, I heard someone walking in high heels outside. Initially, I couldn't confirm which room it was, but just now, Byakuya mentioned fighting Alice, and no one else refuted it. This means no one else was attacked by Alice, though this doesn't rule out Alice's trap."

Su Xiao's suspicion was largely cleared, leaving the three National Soccer Players somewhat bewildered. The plot was complex, and without 'subtitles,' it was hard for them to follow.

"Ahem, we three brothers will follow the majority."

National Soccer Player No. 1 stood up to speak and then sat down.

"So, the clues are still unclear?"

Catwoman's face wasn't looking good, aware of her dangerous situation.

"No, the clues are quite clear."

As soon as the little detective girl finished speaking, a prompt appeared.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

The little detective girl proved she wasn't Alice.

"The clues are so clear that they're obvious. We can use simple elimination. First, National Soccer Player No. 3 and I aren't Alice. National Soccer Player No. 1, No. 2, and Byakuya are unlikely to be Alice. This leaves Pifat, Glasses, and Catwoman."

The little detective girl smiled. Hearing this, National Soccer Player No. 1 slapped his thigh, and National Soccer Player No. 2 also looked pleased.

"Does that mean we'll win soon?"

"Alice is doomed."

"Not necessarily."

Su Xiao poured cold water on their excitement, looking at National Soccer Player No. 1 and No. 2.

"Pifat, Glasses, and Catwoman are just more suspicious. Before proving our identities, we three also have a chance to be Alice. If Alice successfully hides among us, it'll be troublesome."

Su Xiao's words made the smiles on National Soccer Player No. 1 and No. 2's faces disappear instantly.

"Indeed, but our advantage is undeniable. When Alice chose to attack you, she was already at a disadvantage. Tomorrow, I can find out who Alice is! Unless she can turn the situation around instantly."

The little detective girl's tone was confident, reflecting her faith in her deductive abilities.
