How Did You Figure It Out?

Who exactly are you?

Lan Qingyou's question to Esmeralda left all the onlookers completely baffled.

Wait... they'd just been talking about Katie. How had the conversation suddenly taken such a strange turn, with her asking Esmeralda this out of nowhere?

"Hey, hey, Witch, you're not actually suspecting Esmeralda is Katie, are you?"

Vivian looked at Lan Qingyou with open scorn.

The other woman had practically spelled it out. Anyone who still couldn't guess was pretty dense.

Look.

Even Gu Xiaobei, who was holding a bowl of soup nearby, wore a thoughtful yet astonished expression.

That was just how big a "hint" Lan Qingyou had given them.

In fact, everyone had figured out what Lan Qingyou was thinking the very next second after their initial confusion.

It was the same fascinating academic question...

"Clone Magic is impossible to learn unless you're among the tiny fraction of people who have the talent for it. It's not even among the rewards offered by the World Will."

"Exactly. If Esmeralda had Clone Magic, your Magic Eye should be able to tell, right?"

Quite a few people were skeptical of Lan Qingyou's theory.

It was true that Lan Qingyou had a very high rate of guessing correctly.

But her conclusions were still just reasonable deductions made with the help of her Magic Eye.

In that situation, naturally, they couldn't interrupt her.

But now that they were discussing academic matters, everyone had something to say.

As everyone knew,

Clone Magic seemed like a rather low-level ability in all kinds of fiction, yet it simply didn't exist in this world.

It wasn't even among the magic selected by the World Will.

It really couldn't be obtained unless you had the talent for it.

And yet...

"What if the situation is actually the opposite of what you're describing?"
