The detective is dead, I did it.

Chapter 71 The Master of Mime, The Fool, The Apothecary, The Judge, The Messenger

A petite girl with long white hair then spoke.

She sat quietly in the corner, her hands clasped together on her knees, her posture reserved and wary.

"Fibel Grey. Her identity is a master of mime." Her voice was low and her speech rapid, as if she wanted to finish her sentence quickly so she could fall silent again. "I can make someone unable to speak or vote the next day."

Li Ang nodded, after all, she remembered the other person's name. When Charlotte introduced her, she had mentioned that the other person was unwilling to communicate with strangers.

Now that she has acquired this ability, it is quite a good fit for her.

As is customary, I checked the other party's ID card.

You've never been one for talking. This game has conveniently given you the power to silence everyone else. Silence isn't weakness; it's a symbol of your strength.

At this point, Cartasia, who was the first to refute Rosalind, stepped forward.

"Caltasia Walkerian. Her identity card is Duelist." She announced her name in a loud and crisp voice. "Her ability is that if she is voted out, she can choose someone to die with her."

These words caused the atmosphere around them to freeze slightly for a moment.

Li Ang noticed that several people subconsciously took half a step away from her.

"Don't be nervous." Caltacia shrugged and sat down again. "I'm not a witch. This ability is passive; it only triggers when I'm voted to be executed. As long as you don't vote for me, nothing will happen."

After she finished speaking, she handed over her ID card.

You've never been afraid of death. In fact, you've always felt that you should take someone down with you when you die. The abilities this game has given you happen to fulfill that wish.

The next to speak was a gray-haired girl.

She was not only late to the courtroom, but also sat in the last row, remained silent throughout the proceedings, and spoke in a very flat tone.

"Isabella Moran. Her identity card is The Fool with a Thousand Faces."

She placed a dark gray card on the table, pressed the edge with two fingers, and slowly pushed it towards Li Ang.

"The ability is to determine whether someone has lied during their speech, and it can be activated once per round."

Li Ang's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This ability is also very useful in this game, and in some ways, it's even stronger than the Seer's.

After all, if you can tell that someone is lying during their speech, it greatly increases the suspicion that they are a witch.

Conversely, this ability also makes her, like Miss Truth, a primary target of witches.

She was clearly aware of this as well, which is why her gaze toward Li Ang was somewhat complicated, even carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

Li Ang could only pretend to ignore it and check the other party's ID card.

You have a thousand faces, but none of them truly belong to you. Therefore, you can easily distinguish between what is true and what is false. But sometimes, a lie is more important than the truth.

At this moment, Judge Eloi stepped forward.

"Eloy Douglas. His identity card is Judge. His ability is during the voting phase: he can invalidate one person's vote or double another person's vote."

After she finished speaking, she handed over her ID card.

In this game, the rules are your most powerful weapon, and you must uphold them. However, rules don't necessarily guarantee fairness; as the presiding judge, you possess a small amount of privilege.

At this moment, the girl who had been crying earlier stood up from the corner, her voice trembling with nervousness.

"My name is Emily Perrot." She clutched her identity card tightly. "My identity card identifies me as a pharmacist. My ability is—" She glanced down at the card, her eyes slightly reddening, "I can create a potion at night to grant someone immunity to one execution vote the following day. I can also create a potion for myself to grant myself immunity to one execution vote. Both can only be used once."

Her identity card is evaluated as follows.

Although you're not a detective, you know the formula for the potion, and this potion is enough to change the game. In this trial where even a detective could die, a potion might be more useful than a sword.

"Very good ability." Li Ang nodded, trying to give her some confidence with an affirmative tone. "Your potion can save lives, which is crucial in this game."

Emily nodded vigorously, but her body was still trembling. After sitting down again, she subconsciously leaned closer to Charlotte, as if looking for a corner to lean on.

Next to speak was Elena, who was sitting at the outer edge of the round table. She had been very quiet since earlier, listening attentively to the other people's self-introductions, and nodding from time to time.

She stood up, her golden twin ponytails swaying gently with the movement, and her still somewhat childish face looked very energetic.

"My name is Elena van Hels." Her voice was clear and loud, a stark contrast to the somber tones of most of the people present. "My identity tag is Messenger. It says that I can deliver messages to others at night."

In other words, at night, everyone is unable to communicate or move freely?

After hearing Elena's introduction, Li Ang guessed this.

But in this game, what methods will Rosalind use to restrict their nighttime activities? And how will the daytime voting phase be conducted?

All of this remains to be seen.

"This is my identification card. Detective, you can verify it."

Elena handed the identity card to Li Ang.

You have a cannon, but you can't summon it here. That's alright. Your voice is more penetrating than the cannon's.

This identity assessment reminded Li Ang of the scene when he first met the other party, who was carrying a weapon that looked like a laser cannon, which left a deep impression on him.

"Just call me Li Ang. You might not believe it, but we're actually colleagues."

Seeing the girls looking at each other blankly at his words, Li Ang knew that explaining would be pointless, so he turned his gaze to Shirley.

"Hey! It's finally my turn!" Shirley cheerfully raised her hand and leaped out of the crowd in a few quick steps. "I'm Shirley Eckert. My ID card says Free Citizen, but I actually think of myself as a detective!"

"Do you remember?" Li Ang's eyes lit up.

"Remember what?" Hearing his question, Shirley was a little confused. "Although I'm just an ordinary person, I know a lot about detectives and often follow news about them."

"So there's nothing wrong with me considering myself a detective!"

Looking at Shirley's matter-of-fact expression, Li Ang didn't know what kind of expression to show in response.

Because, in a way, what she said was actually correct.

Because she really is an armed detective. It's just that she's temporarily lost her memory because of this game.
