The sudden remark startled the two of them.
Neither of them had expected this maid to take the initiative and speak to them.
Ningguang’s eyes flickered, and she quietly asked,
“Then can you tell me where Fang Yue is hiding?”
“I can’t say, but there are clues in the room.
You need to search carefully.”
After saying that, she didn’t wait for either of them to respond.
She simply took her rag and walked away.
“Can we trust her?”
Amber asked Ningguang.
She was a little uncertain.
There was something strange about this maid.
The other maids had all answered them openly, but this one had quietly approached them and whispered in their ears, as though she was afraid of being discovered by someone else.
Ningguang was also somewhat troubled.
She frowned and thought for a long time, but ultimately couldn’t figure anything out.
“We can only search for the clues she mentioned first.
We’ll worry about everything else later.”
“Mm!
I guess that’s all we can do.”
Amber couldn’t come up with any better suggestions either, so the two of them simply began searching through the room.
Inside the Intelligence Room.
[Kaeya: What’s going on?
How did this turn into a mystery drama?]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Demons?
Are those maids not human?]
[Yae Miko: Oh my!
When will I get selected?
It’s such a shame that I can’t participate in such an interesting game!]
[Venti: Speaking of which, can we actually trust what that last maid said?]
[Lisa: Why not?
We don’t have any other clues anyway.
Let’s look around and see.
Maybe we’ll even trigger a trap or something!]
[Yun Jin: I don’t think she’s trustworthy.
She didn’t come out earlier or later.
She specifically waited until the very end to appear.]
[Kamisato Ayato: This is when he needs to make an appearance.
@Heizou.]
[Shikanoin Heizou: I also don’t think she’s trustworthy.
In fact, that maid might be the real demon.]
[Kaeya: What kind of wild theory is that?!
Did you notice something?]
[Zhongli: I suppose whether this maid is a demon remains uncertain, but her status is definitely not ordinary.]
Zhongli’s words caught Ningguang’s attention while she was still inside the game space.
She didn’t have any clues herself, so she decided to enter the Intelligence Room and see what everyone was saying.
The moment she entered, she saw Zhongli’s message. New chapters come out on g.com first.
[Ningguang: Mr.
Zhongli, do you have any basis for saying that?]
[Zhongli: Let Shikanoin Heizou explain.
He should have noticed it as well.]
Zhongli wasn’t the kind of person who liked showing off.
If he could avoid getting involved, he generally preferred to stay out of things.
He only needed to offer a little advice at crucial moments.
Perhaps that was also the purpose of this Intelligence Room.
After all, it was called an Intelligence Room.
If it didn’t provide intelligence, could it still be called an Intelligence Room?
Although, at this point, everyone was practically treating it like a chat room.
Shikanoin Heizou didn’t hesitate either.
He immediately began analyzing the situation in the Intelligence Room.
[Shikanoin Heizou: I noticed something.
When this maid approached Miss Ningguang, the other maids clearly showed expressions of fear.
Surely they weren’t afraid of Miss Ningguang, right?]
As he spoke, he directly uploaded the screenshot from earlier into the Intelligence Room.
Everyone took a look.
He was right!
[Amber: Then should we still follow her instructions and look for the clues?]
[Shikanoin Heizou: Of course.
The more clues we have, the easier it will be to sort everything out.
Even if this is a false clue, it’s still worth investigating.]
Fine!
Since the great detective had said so, Amber continued searching for clues.
Shikanoin Heizou kept his eyes fixed on the screen, refusing to let even the slightest clue escape his notice.
He had also realized the purpose of the Intelligence Room.
If everyone here couldn’t help one another, there was absolutely no way they could find Fang Yue quickly.
Not to mention that Fang Yue possessed the Transformation Technique.
The various traps inside this space were constantly interfering with the players as well.
Trying to find someone under these circumstances?
They might as well dream about it!
…..
Time passed quickly.
Although the two of them searched as hard as they could, they still found nothing.
Ningguang even began wondering whether the maid had deliberately played a trick on her.
Half an hour had passed.
[Time’s up.
The treasure chest’s points have decreased to 300,000 points.
Drawing players again: Arataki Itto, Keqing.]
Two figures suddenly appeared inside the game space.
“Hahahaha!
I finally got selected!
Watch out, Fang Yue. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
I’m coming to find you!”
Arataki Itto burst into laughter.
He had finally been selected.
This was way more fun than winning candy from a bunch of kids.
“Sigh!”
Seeing how unreliable Arataki Itto was, Ningguang sighed.
“Keqing, come help!”
After thinking about it, she also called Xiangling over.
“You come help too.
Don’t just stand there spacing out.”
“Oh!”
Xiangling had been standing around absentmindedly since earlier.
Only when Ningguang called her did she realize that she was still participating in the game.
“Come on!
Point out this desk lamp for me!”
[Identification incorrect.
Obtained Clue Three.]
“Huh?
What’s this?”
Looking at the incomprehensible note, Arataki Itto immediately handed it to Ningguang and the others.
Who was he?
Did he really need clues like this?
Of course not!
He was going to rely on his own instincts to find Fang Yue.
Keqing raised an eyebrow.
She hadn’t expected the seemingly unreliable Arataki Itto to actually be useful.
He had already found a clue so quickly.
The group gathered around and opened the note.
[His body has no edges or corners!]
“So that means Fang Yue transformed into something round?”
Keqing thought about it.
Then wouldn’t that eliminate all the objects mentioned by the maids earlier?
So they really couldn’t trust a single one of them!
“Maybe this clue is fake?”
Ningguang said.
This place was filled with lies.
If they actually believed everything they were told, they would probably get tricked terribly.
Ningguang frowned and thought for a long time.
Suddenly, she casually pointed at an object.
“I identify this as Fang Yue!”
The sudden movement startled Keqing.
“What are you doing?
Even if you want to get yourself killed, you don’t have to do it like this!”
[Identification incorrect.
Obtained Clue Twelve.]
