Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 544
Chapter 544 Should I Respond to the Bait?
Me and the two magma fairies moved.
Who was it with Tapford? The guy who brought the magma fairy.
oh i remembered Geraf. Asking the two guys to go see the victims in the middle of the night wasn’t just to see their reactions.
I don’t know how that sounds, but a corpse holds a lot of information. It is possible to guess the cause of death or the weapon used, if you look closely, even if you play with the wound, whether it died yesterday or what it did.
‘If you look at the scene, you can find out more information.’
Whether there was a physical fight, whether it was an assassination like poisoning, or whether it was an ambush, and so on.
Sometimes the other person’s personality is revealed.
As I climbed the tower, I was bound to meet all kinds of idiots, and even if I didn’t want to, I was bound to accumulate knowledge in this way.
Even if I just climbed, it was this much.
‘I’ve become a bit more sophisticated after reaching the upper floors.’
It wasn’t just a fight there, it was political retaliation and murder. It was more sophisticated, and the technology to hide who committed the crime was considerable.
It doesn’t matter if I haven’t experienced it myself. Moving on to the next chapter, there is no shortage of information gained from memories.
In that sense, I…
‘I’m no different from a half-professional.’
It’s not just about judging based on your eyesight or information experience.
“This is it.”
“A lot of them have already gathered.”
The magma fairy lifts her head.
I, who came up to the 91st floor, know the value of a victim, but the people here are appalled.
The area around the corpse had already been blocked off, and the first discoverer had taken his place. Some of the NPCs stopped the approaching people and demanded that they take their turn, as if they had in mind that they might fabricate evidence or damage the scene.
why are they doing that
“They’re definitely belonging to the day.”
“that’s right. I can believe it.”
On their shoulders were white armbands.
On the 91st floor, there were numerous rules and some special roles to give various variables.
Just as I was given the role of a spy, there was a special case among those who belonged to the day…
“That’s the police.”
It was a bit different from the jobs that often appear when playing mafia games. Because here, there was no ability to find out the identity of the other person at night or anything like that.
According to the rule book, the effectiveness of those who were given police roles was clear.
‘Night or day, your belonging is revealed. Instead, I get a buff at night.’
As much as one’s identity is forcibly revealed, it is easy to be beaten by those who belong to the night. That’s why I received one advantage, so I have stronger power at night.
It allows you to survive even if enemies attack at night. If you’re lucky, you might be able to get rid of the intruder.
Even so, it is equally dangerous. Because there is no answer if you decide that there is no business in front of the side.
For them, the best way to increase your chances of survival is to finish the game as quickly as possible.
Only then can you escape the threat. Having a clear affiliation also basically meant being able to receive support from people from daytime.
Tayford is interested in whether I am calmly waiting for my turn.
“You must be familiar with the rules here.”
“I know roughly everything. Did you think you wouldn’t know? Didn’t you tell me?”
He laughed at the bone-filled words.
Yes. Although he puts on a nice face, he intentionally didn’t tell us about the game.
Is it the rules or the atmosphere unique to this place? I wouldn’t have acted like this if I didn’t have the rule book I got after dealing with Gonaam.
I didn’t even know about the role of a police officer. In other words.
– Took
“Hmm?”
“Let’s talk separately later.”
“Oh what? Disgusting.”
“I tried my best to help, but if you don’t like it, don’t.”
“I don’t hate it! I have a lot of time.”
There is a high possibility that the guy who is innocently pouring lava here doesn’t know anything.
Now that I think about it, the timing when the game started is damn right.
Didn’t I fall here at no other time, but at the approach of night? If it had been, there was a high possibility that he would have joined the night.
‘It’s a disadvantageous condition.’
Whether it was day or night, there was nothing to say that either side was righteous, but from the climber’s point of view, the daytime group felt more stable.
It seemed like both sides continued the game of aiming for each other’s lives, but Bam’s affiliation meant that he had to attack the other directly, which meant that he was likely to leave his mark in some way.
we are outsiders If you want to be suspicious, you may be the first to be suspected.
By the way
‘Is this guy from daytime?’
The rules of Ludurado, a fragment of chaos, and the system of the tower are combined, so even if you use authority, you cannot find out who you belong to. Even if the opponent is the same climber as the magma fairy.
The possibility of belonging to the night cannot be completely ruled out. Under normal circumstances, it was a situation that deserved vigilance.
‘I’m glad he’s a spy.’
It was a story that had nothing to do with me. Because he can match wherever he belongs. Furthermore, whatever it is, once Ludura is caught, the game is over.
It won’t be easy. If it were that easy, I wouldn’t have made a fuss like this, but I would have moved to catch it long ago.
No matter how many strategies are devised, that is the method that results in the least number of victims.
“Next turn.”
“It’s a face I haven’t seen before. Are you going to climb?”
“As you can see.”
“You cannot go in alone. Go in pairs of two. The time is 10 minutes.”
The police come out and point at the tapod.
Either that or not. I don’t care. Rather good.
‘Because I can see how he behaves.’
I’m suspecting that Tayford and Zeraf belong to Bam.
I don’t intend to spread it here and there that they belong to the night. Because I am not affiliated with daytime. However, it was important to know where each of them belonged.
‘In order to gain trust, it’s important to attract one side.’
night and day. Which side do people want to gather?
Whatever it is, it is advantageous to be supported. If you can create a big flow, you can lead the game in the direction you want.
I don’t know if the number of people was similar, but if they were biased towards one side, they could have drawn that side and incited them.
That guy is a fragment of chaos. Then it will be easier to catch.
It’s okay if things don’t go as expected.
‘At that time, I just need to finish the game quickly so that one side can win.’
And aim for the next game.
This is just plan B, though.
I decided to take it easy for a bit. Even if you are in a hurry, there is nothing you can do, and it takes time for various clues to come together.
Even if you can’t deal with him in this game, if you reveal his identity, you will win the next game unconditionally.
You can get rid of it as soon as the game starts.
Of course, that seems unlikely.
‘There’s no way I didn’t try that expedient.’
In other words, he must have several abilities.
Like hiding well or being able to change into someone else. You must have a special ability to hide your identity.
Well, this is just a reference.
“You seem to have been calmer than I thought.”
“It’s rare because there’s no sign of resistance.”
I decided to focus on the field.
The game has begun. Everyone must have been nervous as they had already been through it many times. In other words, he would not have let down his guard even if he stayed up all night.
Aren’t they all NPCs on the 90th floor? Even if you don’t sleep for a few days, you have enough stamina to endure.
There is fatigue as much as it piques your nerves, and it lasts for 19 days, so you have to sleep in between.
‘Everyone will fall asleep at a time that is advantageous to them, so there will be no problems when they are active in earnest.’
so it’s weird He must have been awake, but why was there no sign of a fight?
look The only thing messed up in this place is the water he seems to have tried to drink.
A broken cup and a wet rug. Other than that, nothing strange.
“It is not poisoning. My skin color didn’t change, and my tongue wasn’t swollen. But to call it an ambush…”
“There are no wounds on the body.”
As Tapford said. There are no signs of mess, but no wounds on the body.
If so, there are few possibilities.
“Curse or magic. Or it’s likely a special method I’m not aware of.”
The curse side is unlikely. In any case, since it’s a shady technique, it’s bound to have a dark attribute, and if that was the case, Magi would have reacted.
It’s very likely that he did something magical.
[The SSS-class power, star-watching eyes are displayed.]
The power was displayed.
There are no objects in the room, no footprints, no hair or fingernails. too much.
Even if it is not the culprit’s, isn’t it normal that there should be traces of the owner of the house where people live?
“It’s so neat. Did you use clean magic?”
Immediately, Niana, the NPC in charge of the 90th floor, also replaced cleaning with the clean skill.
It’s true that it’s tricky, for sure.
-Czuzuzuzz
It was a law that could not erase everything. His gaze followed the wall.
Small marks on the wall. It is not of an animal such as a lizard. Although it was as small as the size of a fingernail, it is clearly a human palm and footprint.
A person who can shrink the body came here. okay. I know someone broke in with this. All that remains is to find out how he killed Lee.
The answer to that has already been given.
“Hey look at this?”
I lowered my stance and put my hand in the water that soaked the floor.
A liquid that comes out on your fingertips without resistance. this is not water colorless and odorless. If you eat it casually, there is nothing wrong with it. If you don’t tell me, it’s hard to notice, but I know.
“Dayford Is there anyone here who is good at alchemy or potion production?”
“alchemy?”
I’ve been making potions. That’s enough to deliver to the country of flowers and birds, so he has some skills.
It was safe to say that he had reached a high level by doing research independently and obtaining the recipe of Hidden Garden.
The identity of the liquid is a reagent used in a shock mitigation potion. It is a curing liquid.
Normally, it is no different from water.
-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
If vibration above a certain level is applied.
– It hardens
as it is. It’s not rigid either. Oddly viscous and heavy change. It’s like compressed glutinous rice cake.
What if it hardened in the middle of drinking this?
‘The airway is blocked as it is.’
suffocation. That’s the cause I judged.
Not an easy way. First, you must have the ability to obtain or create hardening liquid, and you need a skill to harden it before the opponent notices.
Especially when you see that there are no signs of struggle.
“This is not all the liquid left here. It’s just what’s left to clean up. The water cup has fallen, but it’s awkward without a drop of water. In reality, he would have poured the liquid all over his body and let it harden.”
to be unable to move.
Even so, if it was the NPC’s power, escaping would not be a problem. Unless there is someone else’s interference.
What if you harden your body with hardening fluid and even suppress it? Then you can’t even scream and die.
“Is that so! Aww. There is a suspicious person. Get out immediately!”
“haha. No big deal. Let’s go.”
Tayford hurried admiringly.
I nodded and followed with an arrogant expression. while slightly raising the corners of his mouth.
‘The bait was sprinkled.’
The reasoning you just did?
After all, it is not a reasoning.
‘This is the person who sprayed hardening fluid enough to bind his entire body and cleaned it up. Did the dropped water cup leave a trace because it was awkward? No way. If it were me, I would just clean it up and spray some water with the water skill. No, there is no need.’
Even if there was only an empty cup, people would have thought that he had passed out after drinking all the water.
If you think about it a little, you can figure it out.
This is a clue left by the criminal on purpose. It’s a shallow maneuver to frame someone involved in alchemy or potion production, not himself.
I’m looking for a reaction. Those who are trying to instigate this shrewd reasoning as real.
if there are such people
‘There’s a high probability that they belong to the night.’
