A solemn atmosphere of silence permeated the Forbidden Library.

Everyone fell silent, with only Rem's painful gasps echoing in the air, gradually filling the entire Forbidden Library.

Finally, Ram spoke first.

"Why is Lady Beatrice so certain that the Curse Arts is in the village?"

Ram said in a low voice, "Those who have frequent contact with Rem are not just from the village."

Ram's words drew everyone's attention to one person.

That was Fang Li, leaning against the door.

This is only natural.

If there's anyone who can frequently come into contact with Rem every day, besides the village Rem has been visiting these past few days, it's only the people in this mansion.

But who in this mansion would cast a curse on Rem?

Without a doubt, it could only be Fang Li.

That's why Ram went directly to Fang Li, and why she was so emotional.

Therefore, this is a very reasonable suspicion.

However, Beatrice dismissed this perfectly reasonable suspicion with a disdainful expression.

"That man wouldn't use such troublesome methods."

Beatrice said with utter disdain, "If he really wanted to kill someone, Betty would rather believe he would just rush up and slash them, which would be far more accurate than any other method of killing a person."

The reasoning was so compelling that Ram was speechless.

Although she didn't know about Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Ram was still able to detect the pungent scent emanating from Fang Li thanks to her exceptional sense of smell.

That sharp, blade-like aura was definitely not something a Curse Arts who secretly casts spells could possess.

"I agree," Parker agreed. "Although we don't know much about Fang Li, he's not the type to curse his target from the shadows. On the contrary, he's a terrifying figure who can drown his target in blood."

"Don't be so rude, Parker," Emilia warned Parker, then looked at Fang Li, nodded firmly, and said, "I also believe it wasn't Fang Li did it."

In other words, in this mansion, apart from Ram, Emilia, Beatrice, and Puck are all on Fang Li.

Roswaal shared the same idea.

The Gospel show that Fang Li is the One Who Can Kill All.

If the "ability to kill everything" mentioned here refers to Curse Arts, then that would be far too low-class.

Such a mere Curse Arts would never receive such an evaluation.

"Let's leave the matter of the Curse Arts aside for now."

Roswaal glanced at Rem lying in Ram's arms and said to Beatrice, "Isn't there any way to break the curse on Rem?"

In fact, besides Beatrice, Roswaal also knows how to break Curse Arts.

After all, Roswaal was the strongest mage in the Dragon-Affiliated Kingdom of Lugnica.

If you can't even break a Curse Arts, then you don't deserve this evaluation.

As the Great Spirit who controls the fire mana, Pak also knows how to break spells.

However, when it comes to breaking Curse Arts, no one in this mansion can compare to Beatrice.

This is because Curse Arts are generally of the yin nature.

Beatrice is the embodiment of Yin Attribute Magic reaching its peak.

If Puck is the Great Spirit who governs fire mana, then Beatrice is equivalent to the Great Spirit who governs darkness mana.

Therefore, when it comes to breaking curses, no one can surpass him.

This also means one thing.

If even Beatrice can't remove the Curse Arts on Rem, then no one can break it.

And that is indeed the case.

"If we remove them one by one, by the time we finish, the maid's body will already be cold."

Beatrice crossed her arms and said with a bored expression, "The Curse Arts has already been cast. Since it has been cast, it cannot be stopped unless we can find the Curse Arts immediately and defeat him."

"Immediately?" Emilia noticed the key word and quickly asked, "How much time do you have to solve our problem?"

"At most one night," Beatrice stated the date of Rem's death.

"When it gets light tomorrow, this maid will die from exhaustion, both physically and mentally, due to the immense amount of curses."

The extremely cruel reality was laid out before everyone.

"Tomorrow..." Ram's body began to sway precariously.

"It's already dark outside, isn't it?" Parker said helplessly. "Time is too tight."

"Given the current situation, finding and defeating an unidentified Curse Arts in just one night is far too difficult." Roswaal shook his head and said to Beatrice, "Isn't there any other way?"

Beatrice fell silent.

A moment later, Beatrice raised her eyes and looked at Fang Li.

Noticing Beatrice's gaze, Fang Li's expression didn't change in the slightest, and he spoke up immediately.

Do you want me to make a move?

Upon hearing Fang Li's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

Does Fang Li's statement mean he has a way to save Rem?

The idea had barely formed when Puck, perched on Emilia's shoulders, slapped his hand hard.

"Oh, right," Parker said, "Fang Li said he can kill anything, including Curse Arts, right?"

"That's right." Beatrice said somewhat displeased, "That man has killed my magic more than once, so he should be able to kill the curse in that maid's body as well."

"Heh heh..." Roswaal's eyes flickered slightly as he chuckled and said, "So that's how it is?"

"Really?" Emilia looked at Fang Li with even more hope.

Finally, even Ram reached out and grabbed Fang Li's clothes, biting her lip as she made a request.

"Please, please save Ram's sister, save Rem."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li turned his gaze and looked at Rem.

"Hahaha..."

Rem was just panting, her face contorted in pain.

At that moment, Fang Li slowly squatted down, stretched out a hand towards Rem, and placed it on Rem's hand.

That hand was ice-cold.

Feeling the extremely cold hand, Fang Li closed his eyes.

The next second, Fang Li slowly opened his eyes.

The Ice-Blue Demon Eyes was fully revealed.

"That is..."

Emilia, Roswaal, Beatrice, Ram, and Puck all saw Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

However, Fang Li had long since stopped caring about these people's behavior.

Fang Li simply lowered his head, his Ice-Blue Demon Eyes fixed on the girl lying in front of him.

Crack-like Death Lines appeared on his body surface.
