The detective is dead, I did it.

Chapter 70 Iron Shield Guard, Man in the Mirror, Miss Truth

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, one of the girls displayed a clear expression of despair.

"Why, why is this happening? Daddy, Mommy! Help me!"

Is this the horror of distorted identity verification?

Looking at the girl squatting on the ground with her head buried in her knees, displaying such a shameful posture, Li Ang's expression was extremely solemn.

He remembered the girl, but no one who saw her now would guess that she was actually a Sequence 7 armed detective.

The scene fell silent for a moment, with only the faint sobbing coming from the other party.

"Alright," Li Ang said, breaking the suffocating silence.

"That wretched pink-haired girl may be gone, but the game she left behind remains. You all heard the rules she told us: one of us is a witch who will start killing after dark. If we do nothing, someone will be the next corpse tomorrow morning."

He paused for a moment, letting his words settle in everyone's minds.

"So now, I need to know each of your names, as well as the information on your identification tags."

Despite having no hope, Li Ang still felt he could glean a clue from each person's identity card.

Perhaps the witch's identity card is completely different from everyone else's?

Thanks to Li Ang being the "only" detective at present, the women did not remain silent for long, and a voice rang out first.

"Bridget Lestrade. Her identity card is Iron Shield Guardian."

The girl who was speaking stood at the far end of the round table, her long, dark hair tied into a simple low ponytail at the back of her head, revealing her beautiful red eyes and delicate features.

Li Ang remembered that she was sitting in the front row of the audience, near the edge. Judging from Elena, who was not far from her, she should also be an armed detective.

Charlotte had whispered her name before, but Leon didn't remember it then. Now he remembered it perfectly.

Her memory had clearly been reset at this moment, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to remain silent throughout.

She looked at Li Ang, her tone calm and concise, "My ability is to protect a person at night from being killed by a witch."

After she finished speaking, she looked back at the table and did not say anything more.

"Is it true that you can't protect the same person continuously?" Li Ang asked subconsciously.

"Yes!" Bridget looked up again, her expression turning surprised. "How did you know?"

"Just a guess."

Of course, Li Ang couldn't tell her that he had played similar games. Besides, it's obvious without even thinking that such games wouldn't allow you to protect the same target continuously.

This is impossible to play.

"May I see your ID card?" Li Ang asked, trying to prevent anyone from lying.

"Okay." Bridget handed over her identification card.

The top does indeed display the identity of the Iron Shield Guard, and below it is a line of smaller text that looks like some kind of identity introduction.

You believe in defense. But you also know that every defense has weaknesses, and a static defense is the easiest to breach. Therefore, you must constantly change your defenses, even if it means that those you once protected might be pushed aside by your own hands the very next night.

"The identity card is fine. Could the others please explain their abilities more clearly?" After returning the identity card to Bridget, Leon said to the others.

A pretty young girl standing not far from Bridget immediately took over the conversation.

She looks to be about the same age as Brigitte, but their personalities are completely different.

Her long, dark purple hair was braided into thick plaits that hung down her shoulders, with the ends tied in a loose knot with a leather cord. Her posture was somewhat casual, unlike Bridget who maintained a tense stance throughout; she was more like Sherry.

"Boudica O'Brien," she announced her name, her tone as concise as Bridget's.

The other party was also an armed detective. The reason Li Ang knew about this was because she was the one who called Elena over, which caused Elena not to come and greet her group.

"The identity card is a person in a mirror. The ability is to select a target to mark, and obtain the player's movements from the previous night at dawn the next day."

"Thank you. May I see your ID card?" Li Ang nodded and asked.

Boudica also handed over her identity card.

You like looking in the mirror. Not out of vanity, but because you always feel that the person in the mirror knows something you don't. Tonight, you could borrow someone else's mirror to take a look.

The next to speak was a blonde girl with slightly curly hair and blue eyes.

She sat in a chair at the round table, her posture less tense than the others, but she tried hard to maintain her composure, though it looked somewhat forced.

Her features were delicate and bright, and even in her amnesiac state, she still carried a natural liveliness, though at this moment they were somewhat distorted by fear.

"Lilith Riddell. Her identity card is Miss Truth."

When she gave her name, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, as if she were smiling habitually, but the smile vanished before it could fully form.

"My identity card says... I can check a person's identity at night, but I can only find out if the person is a witch."

After she finished speaking, she looked around nervously, as if waiting for someone to tell her whether this ability was useful or not.

"Excellent!" Li Ang spoke up at this moment, "Your ability is very useful!"

In fact, Li Ang never expected that Rosalind would actually dare to unleash such power, wasn't she worried at all that her identity as a witch would be exposed on the first night?

Or is it that everyone's abilities in this space are random, and even she herself can't control them?

It seems the only option is to ask Bridget to protect the other party.

Moreover, a very important issue now is that the werewolves seem to be hiding.

After checking Lilith's identity card, Li Ang pondered to himself.

Your intuition has always been incredibly accurate, so accurate that you yourself don't even know why. And in this game, your eyes can see things others can't. But that's more likely some kind of deadly signal.

If I'm not mistaken, the werewolf's identity probably isn't that obvious. On the surface, they might look no different from anyone else, and might even possess some special abilities.

In other words, the witch has two identities in this game.

One is a witch in secret, and the other is an adjudicator in public.

"Really?" Lilith trembled slightly when she noticed that Li Ang's gaze had become somewhat intense as he looked at her, and asked incredulously.

"Yes," Li Ang encouraged, "You will be the key to our victory in this game. So please be very careful."

"I understand." Lilith nodded repeatedly, as if she understood something.
