Chapter 124 Frey begins his investigation

It is not even six o'clock in the morning, and the morning glow has not yet lifted the sky.

The castle and surrounding mountains were still shrouded in thick fog and shadows.

Base level lobby.

The chill of late autumn shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the castle, plunging everyone into a cold and deadly atmosphere.

Based solely on the information currently available in the Shadow World, no one can see how to infer the identity of the betrayer.

When the shadow world just opened, the information for the challengers in the open was absolutely limited.

No one knows what effect the blood power that the betrayers can borrow will have, nor do they know what the betrayers' mission objectives are. However, everyone can notice that the information in the shadow world indicates that the betrayers have mission objectives that are completely different from those of normal challengers.

That means the betrayers will inevitably take actions to advance their mission objectives, and as long as there are these actions, there is a high probability that loopholes will be left.

Therefore, a detective with professional insight and extreme brainpower is needed to grasp these clues.

The detective also needs to take on the responsibility of uncovering the identity of the betrayer based on his or her absolutely trustworthy identity and serving as a point of intersection to which other challengers can confidently provide information.

Correspondingly.

Detectives are also the most vulnerable targets to betrayers.

Other normal challengers must find ways to protect the detective.

But this detective seems to be quite good at fighting...

In the hall, the challengers gathered and stood in four different places.

There is no trust between them and strangers, and they are cautious even about communicating.

He only trusts his companions who entered the shadow world with him.

It is easy to see that there are four teams of challengers, each consisting of three people.

This means that there must be two guys with ulterior motives in one of the teams.

Or there are two teams with one traitor each.

Those who are often chosen as challengers to fight against the betrayers in the shadow world are those who have extremely twisted minds among the challengers and can perfectly embody the position of the betrayer.

For example, the Church of the Resurrection hopes to cause natural disasters in the world and is eager to kill or rob other people of their treasures.

There is a high probability.

The two traitors were none other than the Resurrectionists, and their identities in this world were perfectly disguised without any flaws.

Even their companions who came in with them did not know their true identity as Resurrectionists.

So even though Lanci and Hyperion clearly seemed to be on the same team as Frey, they still failed to gain the trust of the other nine people.

“…”

The old trees outside the window swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, which were the only sound that could break the silence of the empty banquet hall.

No matter where the challengers stood, they only looked at Frey, waiting for him to speak first and organize everyone to carry out the most basic information exchange.

Frey glanced at the crowd expressionlessly, not seeming to care who had the problem among them.

He didn't express any opinion and his eyes were expressionless.

This silence did not cause any confusion, but instead made many challengers feel a little relieved.

Even though this detective looks weird.

But his calm and absolute self-confidence is more reassuring than that of a detective who panics because he knows he cannot bear the burden.

"Let me briefly introduce myself. The three of us are from the Kingdom of Hutton, Ikerite Academy."

Frey just said this, and his eyes looked over the lenses of his sunglasses at the three people closest to them.

He didn't say anything else, but his meaning was very clear.

It's this group's turn to speak.

It is up to the other party to decide whether to say more or less.

Whatever amount of information there is, it will be used as a basis for Frey to weigh its credibility.

Maybe at this moment Frey cannot immediately infer the authenticity of the challengers' identities, but in the future development of the shadow world, any words said by others now may become a flaw or a key clue.

The first group is a small team of three people, which is eye-catching and distinctive.

"Are you from the Southern Continent too? We are from the Petras Chamber of Commerce, the Kingdom of Canberra."

The person who took a step forward towards Frey and spoke was a young man who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.

He seemed to be relieved when he looked at Frey, his eyes did not conceal his enthusiasm and desire to show off.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I believe you can tell who the young master is at a glance."

The boy said with a little pride.

Standing behind him was a taciturn but exceptionally handsome man. His eyes were deep, like an unfathomable lake, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye made him look even more charming.

On the other side was a delicate woman who looked like a doll. Her hair and eye color were very similar to the handsome man, and they seemed to be a pair of siblings.

Frey looked at Lanci and seemed to want to say something, but gave up.

Lanqi just smiled helplessly.

far away.

"My identity in this shadow world is [Geologist]... Let me see the effect..."

The young man didn't stop talking, and seemed to be checking the Shadow World information panel while saying, "I can know the general map and terrain of the surrounding area. For example, the Lichtens Castle where we are is located in a continuous mountainous area. The back is isolated by the edge of the defense barrier of the Horning Empire, and there is only a cliff 890 meters high in front, connected by a bridge. The only available path from the city-state to Lichtens Castle..."

Just when the boy was about to talk endlessly and make all the geographical information public, the male guard behind him coughed twice, and finally the boy stopped as if he had realized something.

Apparently it's not a good thing for this stupid young master to talk too much in public.

Some key information should be told to the detective separately.

Directly revealing one's identity will make it easy for challengers to confirm the authenticity of the information later, and can indeed gain the trust of detectives and regular challengers.

However, the extremely valuable function of the "Geologist" will be exposed, which will also attract the attention of the betrayer and make him the second most dangerous person after the detective.

Hyperion and Lanci stood behind Frey without saying a word, silently accepting this information.

The Kingdom of Canberra is the leader in comprehensive national strength among all the kingdoms on the Southern Continent, and it is also a kingdom that has remained neutral for many years. Both the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association and the Card Makers Association are headquartered in the Kingdom of Canberra.

It is also one of the most difficult countries for the Resurrection Church to invade.

The Petras Chamber of Commerce is also well-known among the kingdoms of the southern continent.

Although Lanqi is also a wealthy young man, in terms of family wealth, the Petras Chamber of Commerce probably has double digits more.

If this young man is really the young master of the Petras Chamber of Commerce, then such a noble identity with a high probability of being recognized directly would not be the best choice for forgery.

It's obvious that this guy's brain isn't very good, and he's the type that's been dragged through the shadow world by the two dads in the team.
