A Simple Question

"Something that only exists in a mirror...?"

Glasses, and then glancing back at the empty wall, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.

The Tailcoat was visible in the reflection of the mirror, but the corresponding wall in reality was completely empty; nothing existed there.

"Anomaly existing in the Mirror World? Is it just a simple imitation or...? Also, how did I get here from room [504]? The previous situation was clearly a deliberate attempt to invite me here... Is there any connection between these things?"

--the Mist that can be seen seems to be getting thicker and thicker.

After leaving the house and returning to his room, Bai Zhi put the mirror away and went back to room [504].

To prevent any accidents from happening to Night Owl while he was away, he not only placed the [Holy Spirit Pendant] under the blanket, but also left a Shadow Guard in Night Owl's room, so opening the door shouldn't be a problem.

So when the Night Owl saw him stroll in through the doorway, carrying a bag in his hand, she frantically clutched Weather Doll as a defensive weapon, and her expression was quite interesting.

"... You secretly made a copy of my room Key?"

Looking back at the bunch of Key still lying on the table, the Night Owl's expression was rather strange.

"Shouldn't you be more curious about why I came in through the door than about that?"

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi walked to the bedside and sat down, somewhat speechless.

"Your focus is really strange."

"... It's you who's acting strangely, isn't it? How did you get in without Key?"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and the Night Owl still looked conflicted.

"Also, shouldn't you be in the bathroom? How did you suddenly come in from outside? After you went in, there was no sound from inside, and then the light came back on after two or three minutes. I thought you..."

"This matter? It's a long story."

Turning his head to glance at the restroom, which had returned to normal, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You're right, Heavenless Heretic does have problems, but he's not the only one with problems."

"Uh... what do you mean?"

The Night Owl paused for a moment.

"Let's put that aside for now. First, show your Player Information. This is something that Anomaly absolutely cannot fake, and it can effectively determine whether your Teammate have been switched by Anomaly."

Bai Zhi took the [Holy Spirit Pendant] out from under the blanket and then placed the [Street Lamp Flower] on the table.

"To be honest, the situation is a bit complicated right now. It's possible that everyone is fine, but it's also possible that most people are."

"Most... isn't Heavenless Heretic the only one with problems?"

While displaying his Player Information, Night Owl raised a question with some slight doubt.

[Night Owl: Lv6]

"These things are hard to say."

While displaying his Player Information, Bai Zhi shook his head.

"But to be honest, I'm starting to get interested in the secrets of this Apartment."

[Black&White: Lv6]

"... Tailcoat that only exists in the mirror? What does that represent?"

After listening to Bai Zhi's account of his experiences and discoveries, Night Owl was completely stunned.

"Who knows? I certainly don't."

While using a dagger to peel Apple he had taken from his room's refrigerator, Bai Zhi shrugged nonchalantly.

He always keeps his word, a promise is a promise, and if he says he'll Apple for someone, he will Apple for them; he never goes back on his word.

"Let's discuss the specifics when PrayerUnderDreams and the others return."

"Then at least tell me who else you suspect?"

The Night Owl, propping a pillow up behind his back and leaning back on the bed, began to complain with some dissatisfaction.

"Do you know how annoying it is to only say half of what you mean? What did you mean by all those things you said before? Besides Heavenless Heretic, who else is the problem?"

Who else could it be?

With a slight pout, Bai Zhi handed the peeled Apple to the Night Owl.

"Since you want to hear it, I can tell you, but the problem is you might not understand... Never mind, I'll just say it in a way you can understand."

What do you mean I might not understand?

Taking the Apple, the Night Owl seemed rather unconvinced.

"If it weren't for me, the team would already be down two members, and you wouldn't even know who killed them!!"

"In that case, I'll start by testing you with a primary school math problem."

After glancing at the other person, Bai Zhi took out two rectangular boxes, placing one horizontally on the table and the other vertically on the ground.

Then, he gestured with his hand to indicate the height from the top of the box placed vertically on the ground to the top of the box placed horizontally on the table, and casually uttered a teaching phrase.

The length between them is 110 centimeters.

After he finished speaking, he switched the two boxes. The box that was standing upright on the ground became horizontal, and the box that was horizontal on the table became vertical. Then he drew a line to show the distance between the top of the box that was horizontal on the ground and the top of the box that was vertical on the table.

The length between them is 150 centimeters.

"So what?"

While eating the Apple in his hand, the Night Owl blinked.

Question: How tall is the table in centimeters?

"The height of the table...?"

Night Owl glanced at the two boxes on the table and the floor, then looked up at Bai Zhi in front of him, looking completely bewildered.

"Yes, it's about finding the height of the table. It's an elementary school problem, very simple."

Bai Zhi continued peeling the Apple for himself, his face completely calm.

"A normal person should be able to answer that in a few seconds."

"... I'm really sorry, I'm not a normal person!!"

"Because Zither-Drum Harmony was the first to be killed, I suspect her."

Bai Zhi gave the other person a look that said, "I knew you couldn't answer that," and slowly began to speak.

"... I think what you said is as absurd as saying that a person was stabbed twenty-three times in the back and the forensic doctor ruled it a suicide."

The Night Owl looked disgusted.

"If I hadn't reversed time by a minute, Zither-Drum Harmony Ming would really be dead."

"Then why was she the first to die? Did she do anything outrageous? Probably not."

Bai Zhi shrugged and gave a casual reply.

"As I said, there's a possibility that there will be problems, and there's a possibility that there won't be any problems. As for the specifics, PrayerUnderDreams and the others to return before discussing it further."

Today is the third day.
