Mutual Suspicion

"Speaking of which, the Sheriff is still untrustworthy..."

"In that last round, even though we were all newbies, we didn't learn how to use our Character Cards. If we had heard the Background Story, maybe we would have united."

"Then the Accomplice in the group might not have made a move, or perhaps wouldn't have known how to."

An Accomplice who can't even use their Character Card is nothing but a burden to a God Slayer.

"When the God Slayer is all alone, during the hand-holding part, any move they make will reveal them. So, they have to take out two people to disrupt our thinking."

"The God Slayer knew from the start what kind of prompt this carriage would hear. That means, before receiving the Background Story prompt, they had to make sure we understood how to use our Character Cards and skills."

"This way, it's not just about guiding us; from the God Slayer's perspective, it's also to help the Accomplice adapt to the game more quickly."

"So, the Sheriff's motive for helping us is still unclear. They could be the Team Leader, or they could be the God Slayer..."

But if that's the case, the young woman 'Don't Touch Me, I'll Turn Green''s actions during the hand-holding segment are a bit strange.

Since this woman has a side quest and prompts, even if she realized everyone had their own agenda, she shouldn't have abandoned the Sheriff, who currently appears to have the most authority!

Based on the visible conditions, the Sheriff at least looks like a good person. There's no reason she shouldn't have chosen to stand by the Sheriff instead of going to the Thug!

Just then, Qin Shang's heart trembled.

[Prompt: Perhaps the clue is hidden right under our noses]

Right, the prompt...

As the Assistant, 'Don't Touch Me, I'll Turn Green' has her own dungeon prompts!

In other words, when she was holding hands, she abandoned standing next to the Sheriff, who had the most authority, so she must have had her reasons.

Those reasons might be related to the prompt.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang subconsciously glanced around.

There were too many newspapers on the wall. Looking at them one by one would take too long.

Also, with the Inheritance's side quest and clue for 'So Handsome They'll Chop Me', Qin Shang was actually in a bit of a dilemma.

Knowing that the side effect of Inheritance was that he had to inherit side quests, he subconsciously felt resistant.

After all, who knows what 'So Handsome They'll Chop Me''s side quest is...

For one clue, gaining an extra quest, this trade-off wasn't exactly a good deal.

Currently, 'Don't Touch Me, I'll Turn Green', who has the 'Decipher' ability as a Teacher, must have discovered some clue in this carriage, which caused her favorability towards the Sheriff to plummet.

I need to act alone for a while. Thinking this, Qin Shang looked up at the others!

At this moment, the teammates had just experienced the terror of someone beside them being eliminated. Their emotions were extremely unstable, and they were all suspecting and doubting each other.

Especially since the Doctor, 'Heart-to-Heart Sister', had shifted the focus onto the two Priests.

The Little Loli and the Elder Priest had become the targets of everyone's anger.

"If the Priest is the Accomplice, then the Sheriff might be the God Slayer. He could have easily let the Priest slaughter those two. With the Priest's unique Night Vision ability, he could easily kill the Noblewoman and the Thug in the dark!"

"You little brat don't seem like a good person either. What if the Sheriff killed 'Don't Touch Me, I'll Turn Green'? As the God Slayer, perhaps he's very familiar with this dungeon. After the Priest kills the Noblewoman, you could then easily kill 'So Handsome They'll Chop Me', who was holding hands with the Noblewoman."

The Sheriff narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"If the killer was the Elder Priest, then I have no reason to help him conceal it. He was indeed next to me just now. Although I couldn't see in the dark, I definitely would have felt him let go."

"And why wouldn't he have killed me? Killing me would have been the optimal solution!"

"After all, killing me is very convenient just based on proximity!"

'Heart-to-Heart Sister's' expression faltered, and a strange look flickered across her gentle face.

"The prompt only said there was an Accomplice in the dungeon, but it didn't say how many. Who knows if there's more than one Accomplice."

"You and that little brat could have teamed up to frame us!"

Hearing this, Qin Shang raised an eyebrow.

As expected, there are smart people!

'Eagle of Justice' is suspicious, but not as suspicious as the two Priests!

"Couldn't it be that you killed 'Don't Touch Me, I'll Turn Green', and then had your Accomplice kill 'So Handsome They'll Chop Me'?"

As expected of the Sheriff, his words are precise.

Although he didn't explicitly name 'Grandpa Niu Cosplays Maid to Seduce Zhuang Zhuang's Mom' as suspicious.

But with these words, everyone knew who he was referring to as his Accomplice.

Qin Shang nodded slightly. Indeed, this combination was also among his suspicions.

The Little Loli killed the Thug closest to her.

Then, the 'Heart-to-Heart Sister' next to her killed the Noblewoman.

"Actually, this 'Cockroach Jade Feet' is also very suspicious!"

Just then, the Elder Priest, 'Buddha Saves the Predestined', said calmly, directly drawing everyone's attention to Qin Shang.

"What were his words before entering the tunnel? Was he warning the God Slayer, or reminding his Accomplice?"

"If he and that little girl are an accomplice and a God Slayer, then killing people would be as easy as pie for the two of them."

"After all, 'Fiercely Licking Cockroach Jade Feet' could make a move on others after the Little Loli lets go. He's also a Priest, isn't he? That's assuming the Little Loli is his accomplice."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions growing strange.

Were the arrows pointed at me again?

Qin Shang frowned.

"This 'Heart-to-Heart Sister' has a real talent for debating scholars. If she were in the Three Kingdoms period, she'd be a scholar who could compose a poem in seven steps. Damn, being able to fight two people arguing by herself and not be at a disadvantage, our neighborhood's market grandmas who love to haggle probably only have this level!"

"Especially how she managed to stir things up at the end, forcing everyone to explain themselves to clear their own suspicions..."

Qin Shang thought to himself, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I am not a God Slayer, nor am I an accomplice!"

"I won't waste words. Losing two teammates in half an hour makes me think the leader of our team might not be qualified."

"I hope everyone will report their roles. Two people are already dead, and the trust between us is precarious."

"I'll go first. My identity in this game is Assistant!"

"My mission is to assist the Team Leader and lead the entire team to victory!"
