Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 940 - 28: Number 5
Su Xiao started to summarize the known clues, trying to figure out which among the suspects fits the hint of ’Shattering Glasses’ more closely.
"The glasses of the Golden Glasses Man were only shattered once."
Su Xiao looked at National Foot Elder Three.
"Seems... something like that did happen."
Elder Three initially suspected the Glasses Man to be disguised as Alice, but the clue of Shattering Glasses dispelled his suspicion.
"Thinking about it this way, there aren’t many suspects."
Elder Three’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, it must be him."
"What an excellent performance."
Elder Three clicked his tongue in awe, his face deep and hands clasped in front as he spoke in a low voice:
"There is only one truth, that is, it is... uh~"
Elder Three pondered for a long time, still hesitant to finalize the suspect.
"Brother Bai Ye, I have this feeling that the combination of O+* looks more like a shattered egg?"
"Hmm?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Su Xiao tilted his head; the clue provided by Elder Three was indeed important.
"Are you sure?"
"I’m sure, although O+* might represent Shattering Glasses, there’s an inexplicable feeling that it’s a shattered egg."
"A shattered egg~"
Su Xiao put down the blank paper in his hand, considering a new angle where 0+* could represent both a shattered egg and Shattering Glasses.
"Invoke questioning authority."
Su Xiao spoke, and the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
[Please choose a suspect to question.]
"Question... Gamer number 5."
"Wait, Brother Bai Ye, number 5 is Cat Woman, she died last night, and the shattered egg and shattered glasses are unrelated to her!"
Just as National Foot Elder Three finished speaking, the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared, leaving him stunned.
[Announcement: Gamer number 2 questioned Gamer number 5 successfully! Gamer number 5 was disguised by Alice.]
"Cat Woman was really disguised by Alice? What on earth is going on? My brain is on fire～"
National Foot Elder Three was baffled, while Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Cat Woman wasn’t the one disguised by Alice but was dead. Who Alice was disguised as would need further deduction from numerous clues.
To start with, there were five suspects: Glasses Man, Cat Woman, Pibang, National Foot Boss, and National Foot Elder Two. Last night Cat Woman died, and the remaining four were confined in a room during the day.
Su Xiao could identify Alice, largely thanks to the hint given by the lucky player responder, which was O+*.
The final result was that National Foot Boss was disguised by Alice, not only due to his natural advantage in influencing National Foot Elders Two and Three’s opinions.
Moreover, after the game started, the remarks of ’National Foot Boss’ were somewhat revealing:
’The validity of questioning oneself unknown, poses some risk.’
’Ahem, our three brothers will follow the public opinion.’
’Then won’t we win soon?’
...
The very first point raised suspicion on National Foot Boss, but it’s a risk he had to take. If he truly agreed to question himself, the game for him would be over, thus he had to oppose the idea vehemently even if it meant taking risks.
Furthermore, reviewing National Foot Boss’s moves, he seemed helpful but did nothing substantial to advance the deduction process, influencing National Foot Elders Two and Three to some extent.
