On the edge of a steep cliff, even a slight movement of the foot felt like walking in the clouds.

Frey's steps challenged the boundary of death as he stood on the very edge of the precipice.

Looking down, the rugged rock face resembled the body of a giant that had been削割 (xue ge, sliced and carved), with only sparse vegetation like scars. The bottom of the valley was vaguely visible through the mist, occupied by a surging rapid current.

Falling down carelessly would inevitably result in being smashed into mincemeat.

Even with a death-prevention spell, one would quickly die from serious injuries and immobility.

And so.

The detective gazed at the cliff, seemingly observing something without saying a word, or perhaps not knowing what to do next.

Because anyone standing behind him knew that there was nothing to observe on this cliff!

Everything revealed the cruelty to the challenger's side.

Even though the detective had already collected each challenger's written profession information in the library in an almost private manner, within everyone's sight.

It seemed that there was still no information to make deductions.

The betrayers were disguised flawlessly.

If there was no progress, they could only wait until tonight when the betrayers began to act for their mission objectives, and after the first round of bloody gambling unfolded, it might be possible to grasp key clues and continue the investigation.

In such a passive situation, if the detective was killed on the first night, almost everything would be over.

And even if the detective didn't die, there was a high probability that someone would die tragically tonight.

Fear permeated everyone's hearts, and at this moment, they finally gave up any侥幸 (jiao xing, lucky) thoughts, and were convinced that this shadow world was destined to be a grueling five days and five nights.

And so, a full two minutes passed.

The challengers looked at the detective, wondering what he intended to do by standing in front of this cliff for so long.

Could this detective really be an idiot with no ideas at all?

"Detective, what should we do next...?"

Finally, the young master of the Canberra Kingdom's merchant guild couldn't help but ask.

In fact, Frey's previous pursuit of efficiency, inspecting the structure of the castle at the fastest speed, even skipping over any places that might become clues, had made many people panic or become suspicious.

Hearing this, Frey observed the cliff for a while longer.

As if he had finally confirmed something.

He turned around and asked everyone,

"Alright, everyone told me their professions earlier, right? Does anyone want to change it?"

Frey's words made people's hearts tighten.

The profession represented by the identity can only be possessed by non-betrayers, and it is provided to normal challengers with some ability to confront the betrayers in terms of intelligence.

In the profession descriptions that the 11 people conveyed to the detective in the library earlier, two people must be lying, because the betrayers have no identity and ability granted by the shadow world at all.

They didn't know what Frey wanted to do.

Although identity is indeed an important inference factor.

But the problem is that the identity has both positive and negative effects, and there are too many interference items. The mechanism of the shadow world determines that Frey cannot infer any flaws in the identity through communication on the first day!

Looking at Frey's momentum now, how does it seem like he is about to find the answer?

Everyone quickly nodded, confirming that the identity they told Frey was undoubtedly correct.

Frey took off his coat and tied it around his waist, and carried his luggage on his back:

"The blood clan's control over humans is extremely strict in order to prevent human organizations from launching rebellions... I remember the lawyer saying that everyone needs to register their identity information when entering the city-state, that is to say, before this shadow world began, everyone's identity and profession should have been registered in the city."

Frey sneered,

"I'm going to climb down the mountain now, and then climb to the opposite bank. When I go to the city-state to check whether the professions of you people match, I will naturally know which two people are lying."

The strongest detectives often use the most simple and unadorned detective methods.

The sense of power on his body, and his lithe figure, did not seem to be joking at all.

The detective is going to use his extraordinary strength, stamina, and climbing skills to go to the city-state and directly find the answer!

"???"

This is Hyperion.

"???"

This is the other challengers by the cliff.

"???"

These are the students watching the live broadcast in front of the open-air giant screen in the Gera Memorial Square.

"Damn, Frey!"

"Is the power detective the answer to the version?"

The cheers of the students watching the battle in the real world rang out in waves.

They finally knew why Ranch and Frey were both people with unique brain circuits, but Frey was judged by the shadow world to be the person most likely to find the betrayer!

Because Frey's chance of finding the betrayer is almost 100%, only needing a fixed time to go up and down the mountain!

On the screen.

On the steep cliff.

A strong wind blew from the depths of the valley, swirling Frey's clothes, as if trying to take him flying.

"Wait for me for two days, and I will come back with the answer."

Frey's words were extremely certain, and he said to Ranch and Hyperion at the moment he was about to turn around and flip down the cliff.

"Well, go ahead, don't worry."

Ranch and Frey met eyes, and the corners of their mouths trembled almost imperceptibly.

Their eyes met, like two silent lakes, reflecting each other's trust in each other.

Afterwards, Frey flipped down the cliff without hesitation, quickly climbing down, disappearing among the rocks and thorns, the sound of the wind and the thick fog.

"..."

All the challengers looked at Frey's heaven-defying detective behavior, and for a moment they only felt like they had something stuck in their throats.

They wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"As expected of Detective! Really too strong!"

Finally, the young master of the chamber of commerce couldn't help but exclaim.

As if they had temporarily forgotten the crisis, they were quite excited to have found a savior.

Other challengers also gradually seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this detective is very bizarre.

But this terrifying and bloody killing game.

From this moment on, the nature has changed!

It is no longer the challengers who need to be nervous.

But the betrayers are going to be sweating profusely.

In two days, the famous detective will return to the castle with the answer.

And the betrayers can't kill the detective at all, because the detective directly disappeared from the map.

Then now in the remaining 11 people.

There is nothing to be suspicious of.

The atmosphere instantly became harmonious.

Whoever wants to run, whoever has murderous intentions, whoever is suspiciously behaving at night, is the betrayer.

The two-day death countdown has directly fallen on the heads of the betrayers!

They must choose the most aggressive and adventurous way to complete their rebel mission objective before the detective returns, in a state of mental high pressure, otherwise everything will be over!

Moreover.

Outside the shadow world, in Gera Memorial Square of the Ikrith Academy.

All the students watching the battle knew.

The betrayers at this moment may not realize it yet.

What is truly terrible is—

They are going to live in this mansion, under the same roof as Principal Ranch, and spend two harmonious and loving days and nights together!
