Nian's Analysis, the Curtain Falls
Although the fern was able to calm down quickly, this "Liar" was clearly an unusual fellow.
The other Player and locals in the crowd clearly lacked the ability to calm down so quickly and were still immersed in the shock.
They were all talking at once, discussing it animatedly.
"This Glory Festival was truly worth it!"
"Damn, I actually saw a Rakshasa... I'll have to post a lot of fluff when I get back."
"I wonder who will win..."
"It doesn't matter who wins, they're gone now anyway!"
"It looks like the Glory Festival will proceed as planned..."
Amidst the lively discussion, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of a seemingly ordinary wounded barbarian.
"There really is a Rakshasa here. This [Instance] is really something else."
Then, the barbarian slumped to the side, as if he had fainted from exhaustion.
When the barbarian opened his eyes again, there was a hint of confusion in them.
"Strange, what happened?"
Why am I standing here?!
He felt he had lost many Memory.
Fortunately, barbarians don't usually care about such details, and many barbarians have a habit of drinking alcohol, so "Memory loss" is not a particularly rare phenomenon for them.
Therefore, he quickly accepted reality.
"The injury was probably too severe, and it affected his head as well!"
On the other side of this dense forest, inside an underground cave, a handsome young man opened his eyes and stroked the Black Cat in his arms.
"I never expected that coming to find that 'May May' guy would lead to such an interesting encounter."
I really need to thank him properly!
This is naturally "Twenty," who used Item to chase Lin Yu into this Instance!
Just as Lin Yu had predicted, the Player who died, who was suspected of being from the "Psychology Society," was actually being manipulated by Nian.
It wasn't just one person manipulating things.
And it's not just Player!
At the Healing Place, besides the Player from the "Psychology Society," there was a barbarian who appeared to be seriously injured, who had also been manipulated by Twenty.
This ability is naturally of the same origin as the spells he used to create and enter Lin Yu's dream.
These are all "nightmare" spells from Night Valley.
Although there are many limitations, once the spell is completed, its effects are indeed not to be underestimated.
This is precisely where the twenty are troubled.
In this Instance, there are many "spies" besides the deceased Player and the barbarian.
There were many wild animals, but also some participants and two Player...
Some are being "deeply manipulated" by the authorities, while others act on instinct, like sleepwalkers.
However, regardless of the method, no trace of "May May" has been found yet.
Although this little incident at the Healing Place was amusing, it didn't help Nian with his important business at all!
"That's strange, where did that guy go hiding?"
"Given his skill level, if he hadn't deliberately hidden himself, there would be no trace of him until now."
Nian pondered, feeling that it was somewhat unusual that he hadn't found Lin Yu.
Although it's only the "first day" yet...
It's so strange that there are absolutely no clues!
This made Nian start to think.
"If he is truly hiding on purpose, why...?"
"There is no reason for him to hide or conceal himself in this Instance."
There is also no evidence to suggest that he has ever been to the Black Marsh World.
"Unless he knows I'm coming and is hiding from me!"
It's not impossible; I've never thought that [Item] used to invade other people's Instance are uncounterable.
A truly skilled master will have various methods to determine if someone is targeting them.
Although Lin Yu isn't exactly a master...
However, in Nian's opinion, it's not wrong to regard "May May" as a master Player in some aspects.
"If he noticed my arrival, or realized someone was watching him, it would be reasonable for him to hide or conceal his whereabouts."
"This situation is relatively easy to handle. No matter how well he hides, as long as he still intends to complete the game, I have nine days to slowly find him."
This Instance spans too long; more than ten days is almost the maximum duration for Instance!
What 20 has in abundance is patience and the ability to observe details.
After all, he's a "Detective".
And he's a "Detective" who's on the list!
Precisely because he is a "Detective," he inevitably considers more and more comprehensive possibilities.
"What if he wasn't avoiding me, but simply changed his identity..."
"I may have even met and interacted with him, but because of his disguise, I haven't noticed yet."
After all...
After investigation, it has been discovered that his Profession is not "Doctor"!
At the very least, he has the ability to use multiple Profession.
"Based on this consideration, among the current Player, there are two very suspicious individuals, especially in the Healing Place."
Stiller's figure reappeared before Twenty—that guy had a face mask on the whole time.
Although her figure is relatively thin and tall compared to her ideal self, her clothing style is somewhat similar.
While body shape is difficult to change, it can be altered using [Item].
The woman behind them with Bow and Arrows and a Rakshasa is also very suspicious.
Although the genders don't match, in Nian's opinion, the other person's gestures and movements showed a very weak sense of gender—at least they didn't quite fit the stereotypical image of a woman.
And most importantly, Nian is a "Player's expert".
As a "Detective" and a well-known "conspiracy consultant" and "crime planner" among Player, he remembers most of the information about the Player he encounters.
Admittedly, there may be omissions, but at the "Tier 2" level and above...
You can remember at least 70-80% of what you've learned.
He had hardly heard of either his team leader or the woman who called herself "Fern".
The Player leading the team had seen the opponent fight him head-on several times and knew he was very strong.
As for that "fern"... the fact that it can mingle with Rakshasa without any problems is enough to explain the situation.
"Regardless, let's put these two on the suspect list for now."
"Of course... we can't rule out the possibility that he's disguised as an NPC."
Twenty began to think again.
"But whether he's disguised or hiding, there are too few clues to deduce anything. Perhaps... we can use the 'Rakshasa' thing to set a trap and lure him out!"
"Let's see if we can find any more trace of that Rakshasa—he absolutely mustn't be beaten to death by the notary so easily."
The battle, the outcome of which everyone at the Healing Place was so concerned about, had quietly "ended" in the dense forest not far from the Healing Place.
Lin Yu, who was playing the role of "Rakshasa" Moro, stopped and smiled as he looked at the notary who had caught up with him.
"Card!"
"Very good, Stiller —you are absolutely talented at acting!"
Opposite him, the "notary" removed the animal bone mask from his head, revealing Stiller's helpless face.
"Boss, next time, please remember to assign me a role that requires me to wear clothes, okay?"
Stiller felt extremely uncomfortable being naked in front of everyone for so long!
He was born just over ten years ago. Although he looks like an uncle, his mental age is, in a sense, that of a typical teenager!
