Chapter 435: Imitator Carnival (Part 5)
The next prisoner to speak stated that he didn't see anyone in the surveillance room, and that the surveillance footage during that time was unavailable due to the high temperature. He also didn't dare check the footage when the lights were turned off. However, he did see Kaito Kid feeding crows in the garden.
The adventurer hiding in the dormitory had even less to say, as he didn't see anyone the entire time.
"Looking at this, there are a lot of suspects," Air Force pondered. "Patricia couldn't have been eliminated by the hypnotist. She and I have been together since the beginning, and we haven't met anyone else."
"Then it's very likely that the thief did it, so everyone in the outside position is a suspect." Air Force looked at several people on the field who had never appeared in the game.
The prisoner immediately became furious: "Wait, Marta, you can't be doubting me, right? The monitoring room is far away from the restaurant. Even if I rushed over the moment the lights were turned off, I wouldn't be able to make it in time."
"Not to mention me, there's not even a mouse in the dormitory, and I'm the only one there." The adventurer also defended himself.
"Okay, you two are not mysterious men, are you? One of you is hiding in the monitoring room watching the surveillance, maybe he is a chess player, and the other one is hiding in the dormitory and refuses to come out, he must be a fool who is afraid of death!" The philanthropist slammed his hand on the table and started pointing fingers because he had openly killed an imitator.
The lawyer frowned and said, "Pearson, your hand is on mine! Take it away from me!"
The mechanic held his forehead with his hand. "Mr. Pearson, don't get too excited. The person in the external position is just a suspect right now. Although Patricia was eliminated, one of the imitators is gone too. I think we can just abstain and wait for the next round."
The Air Force nodded in agreement. "Next time, it's best for our detective team to work in pairs."
At this time, Amuro Toru was watching the imitator game on the big screen in the small dark room. When he saw that Kaito Kidd didn't make any moves, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "It seems that this Kaito is still very casual."
"I see he's having a great time chatting with the crows in the manor." The sorcerer shrugged as he sat on the sofa.
"The crows here are obviously much smarter than ordinary crows. Is this also the product of your experiments?"
"I don't think so. These crows have been breeding naturally. Usually, only Eli and Mr. Ban would communicate with them."
Listening to the sorcerer's answer, Toru Amuro felt that these crows had at most become a little smarter due to genetic experiments. After all, crows are very smart birds. But the sorcerer's next words gave him a chill.
"However, they are also part of the manor's defenses when necessary, preventing people from entering or leaving. There were some foolish people who tried to escape the manor before, but they couldn't even resist the little crows. They were blinded by the crows and had to stay in the Forest of No Return and wait for death."
"Alas, it seems there are still wild dogs active in the Forest of No Return. This saves Mr. Bann the trouble of feeding them."
"Hasn't anyone managed to escape your manor so far?" Amuro Toru recalled his previous visit to the manor. Although they had entered the manor through the priest's teleportation ability, there must be other normal ways to enter the Oritis Manor. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to require the priest to pick up and drop off every time an invitation was sent.
The sorcerer thought for a moment before answering, "The only one who could be considered successful was probably Naib. He really almost escaped. Initially, he didn't receive an invitation, so he wasn't affected by the rules. But later, when the invitation fell into his hands, he was destined to stay in the manor forever."
[Mercenary: Escape and taunt Oxygen Face. The game is terrible.]
[Novelist: Damn it! I carefully planned the game, and you already knocked down three people before we even got to the game floor, right?]
[Bartender: Honestly, those who managed to walk out of the manor alive either had connections or were influenced by mysterious forces.]
[First Mate: Ahahaha, this relative must be talking about you, Demi.]
[Cowboy: How dare you say that?]
[Gravekeeper: Honestly, regarding the first three experiments... your potion-mixing skills need improvement.]
[Violinist: I didn't expect that. Four people died of drinking before we even entered the venue.]
[Po Lun (pessimistic): I told you not to drink so many weird drinks!]
[Po Lun (joking): But the dinner was so sumptuous, I couldn't help myself.]
[Po Lun (taciturn):......]
[Professor: I can only say that when Orpheus was doing research, he really did try to get into a little bit of everything, and the manor became a hodgepodge.]
"So it's a mandatory rule? The manager of your manor is really overbearing. He simply tricks people into coming here to work."
Sorcerer: ...
The apostle couldn't bear it any longer: "But at least we can share the joys and sorrows in the manor. The world outside is not good at all."
"Mr. Amuro, I was once an ordinary nun, but I was born with unusual pupils. After my parents died, my relatives, in order to seize my inheritance, claimed that my eyes were cursed by a demon and that they brought plague and disease."
"No matter how pious I acted, I couldn't change other people's opinions of me. Finally, when I went to the church to pray, those who suspected my 'devil' identity nailed me to the ground in front of the church with a cross."
After listening to the apostle's story, Amuro Toru was also surprised: "This kind of thing should rarely happen in big cities. Madam...what kind of superstitious place do you live in?"
The sorcerer lowered his head. "Honestly, it's difficult to find someone in the manor with both parents alive."
"Let me tell you my story. I am a witch from Haiti, but I have sinful blood flowing in my body."
"Are you mixed-race? The environment in Haiti is reasonable..." Amuro Toru had some knowledge in this area and immediately understood what the sorcerer was hinting at.
"Evil blood" undoubtedly means that the sorcerer's mother gave birth to her after having an affair with a foreigner.
"My mixed bloodline prevents me from borrowing the power of the gods like traditional wizards, so I need sacrifices. Those who act recklessly on our land become my best targets. Finally, I accepted the manor's invitation and came here to participate in a game of 'sin and confrontation'."
"What a shocking experience," Amuro sighed. "It seems everyone in your manor has a tragic past."
"But even so, you shouldn't act recklessly here. This is my Japan. I once swore to that cherry blossom emblem that I would protect my country well."
"No wonder Ms. Cogan admires you so much. You have a firm belief in protecting the rules, but you also have hidden wounds deep within your heart. You are willing to sacrifice for your goals, and you also have the determination to give it a try."
"So you want to recruit me? I won't join such an organization."
"Your attitude is very firm, but that doesn't stop us from extending an olive branch to you. After all, the manor still needs some fresh blood, and of course, I'm not referring to those created 'stand-ins'."
