Chapter 7: The Queen of the Last Days

"In other words, Hei wants to tell us that Alyssa is not the murderer?" Mei asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And Huang Quan interjected: "Then according to what you just said, the murderer can only be you except Alyssa, so does that mean that you admit that you are the murderer?" ”

"Who knows? Until Darkrai appeared just now, I was a demon king with great powers, so not to mention Xiaochun's way of dying, no matter which of you dies in any way, it may be that I did it. ”

"After all, I'm a demon king who can do anything, it's not difficult to kill people in a secret room, or let the people around me hang on the roof and die in the next second, it's very suspicious that an all-powerful demon king like me can have an alibi. Really, being invincible is sometimes a sin. ”

Black spread his hands a little helplessly.

As Hei said, although he is theoretically suspicious of killing Xiaochun, in theory, no matter how he kills someone, Hei will be suspicious.

So if Hei really wants to commit a crime, he should choose a method that other people can do, and everyone knows this.

Therefore, it does not seem reasonable to conclude that he is a murderer just because Hei can do it.

"Still, I'm wondering, is the body really the murderer bringing it up?" Black said suddenly.

"What does that mean?" Fuji and Hikaru asked.

"It's literal, Darkrai did just say that it didn't kill people, but he admitted that he was behind everything. Therefore, the rule is only that the murderer can kill, and Darkrai, who is behind the scenes, cannot kill, but after the person dies, whether Darkrai will help carry it, he does not tell us. ”

"If you can think so, let alone me and Alyssa, everyone who doesn't appear in front of other people's eyes all the time can be murderers."

"And if you take into account what Darkrai said at the end, if the murderer is not killed, the crime will continue, which means that maybe the murderer even has a way to commit the crime in front of us without being discovered, maybe the murderer will use the doppelganger technique, or maybe in this Darkrai's enchantment, there is a setting that as long as the murderer is alive, someone will die every once in a while."

"If you think so, each of you has the potential to commit a crime. Of course, in order to make the murderer blend in with you, and make the murderer lose the consciousness that he is a murderer outside of the crime hours, I am afraid that I would do the same if I were Darkrai. So even if I'm telling you this now, maybe I'm actually the murderer. ”

"How so?"

"So how do you find the murderer?"

"Are you just waiting to be killed by the murderer?"

With Hei's assertion, several girls showed uneasy expressions.

"Without my magic, I can do no more than you do. But one thing is clear to me—"

"Let's find the murderer who may not have been able to be found, which is probably Darkrai's purpose, think about it, what it would be like for you who don't have human blood on your hands to kill the wrong person."

"I'm not going to say that I'm going to stop you from finding the murderer, I can only tell you that this 'game' may not be able to be cleared by reasoning from the beginning."

"Darkrai must still be hiding in the underground chamber, and I will continue to look for the entrance to the chamber."

"I'm definitely not going to put a knife on my companion's neck to solve the problem, today's matter, there is no other solution than to bring down Darkrai."

With that, Kuro walked past the crowd and was about to leave the room.

"I'll keep looking for the killer." Fuji and Hikaru said. "Unlike you, I'm not interested in boring ideals, catching the murderer and not letting anyone be killed, that's what I'm going to do."

"yes, so if you kill the wrong person—"

"Only those who have the consciousness to kill themselves are qualified to kill."

"yes, then whatever you want."

Not intending to debate further, Black left the room.

"Black!"

Theresia was the first to follow, followed by Mei Yi, Toko, Hikari and the two elves who followed behind Black.

"Hey, wait for me—"

"You stay at night," Mei said. "Be careful not to let Fuji and Hikaru do anything out of the ordinary."

"Throw me this kind of errand again," Hibiki said with a wry smile. "Forget it, someone needs to stay anyway."

"Black, your harem is complete, how do you feel?" Toko looked very excited and followed Kuro's side.

"I don't have a harem."

"Don't say that, you've experienced this and that in the last volume, have you forgotten the touch behind you that day?"

"You are a dead pervert, let you continue to talk about this novel like this without holding back and take jujube pills." Kuro slapped Toruko's head a little harder.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Toko said while covering her head. "In order to do this and that thing with Hei in the future, it's not okay to be banned now."

"Even if that kind of thing exists, it can't be written into a novel.,It's just like the PS* version of galgame.,Cut the H scene and skip it directly to the next morning.。

"Is that what I can expect?"

As a result, Black hit Toko's head again.

"I always feel that following behind Black, the murder just now is not as terrible as it was at the beginning." Mei Yi said.

"Coincidentally, I feel that way, too." Xiaoguang was surprised. "It's obvious that we are involved in such a bad incident, but it's a shame that we can still talk and laugh."

"You don't have blood on your hands, but I'm telling you that it's better to treat this place as a battlefield from now on."

"Battlefield?"

"The veterans on the battlefield will basically go to war with their comrades with a smile on their faces, because they know that if the real death comes, even if they can't escape. If you're going to die anyway, it's better to be active while you're alive. ”

"Black, are we going to continue looking for the secret passage?" Theresia asked.

"Well, that's pretty much it, I managed to find the rooms on the 3rd to 5th floors in one afternoon, and because of the magic, I should be sure that the secret passage is not on it. Then only the first floor, the second floor and the basement remain. ”

"But, black ......," Teresia asked, a little uneasy. Is it really possible to find that kind of thing, although you guess so, what if there is no exit from the chamber itself? The Darkrai didn't seem to have to walk through the door to get out of the chamber. ”

"Of course, considering the appearance of Darkrai just now, it is not surprising that you would have such a guess."

As he spoke, Black pulled out a notebook from the wide placket.

"The reason why I looked upstairs first was not only because if it was me, I would definitely put the exit of the secret passage upstairs, but also because I guessed that I would be able to find other clues upstairs, but although I didn't find the entrance to the secret passage, I found an old study."

"It's—"

"Text you can't read."

Since this text is not the universal text of this world, Mei Yi and Toko look at the book in confusion.

"This is the text of Serlius, because Serlius was originally just an island tribe, so unlike the rest of the region, the language is a combination of modern and indigenous languages, but luckily I have used magic to decipher this language before, even if I don't have magic now."

Black flipped through the notebook, and the paper was yellowish due to its age.

The text on it is not different from modern writing, but it is very thin and looks like a woman.

"According to my identification, it's a diary."

"Diary?"

"Of course, this is no ordinary diary, but the diary of the last queen of Sellius."

"Sellius'—"

"The Last Queen."

Mei and Toko made surprised noises.

"Master, is there any connection between this last queen and that Darkrai?" Fairy asked.

"Of course there is a connection, after all, according to this diary, under the reign of this queen, Sellius endured that natural catastrophe and then perished."

"After that, the last queen and the remaining former nobles climbed up to the only building in the whole of Seirlius, which was originally higher than the palace and after the sinking of the continent, and continued to live here."

"The last queen continues to live in this castle?"

Hearing Kuro's words, Mei lowered her head.

In other words, as the ruler of the country, she saw her country destroyed overnight by natural disasters. What kind of thoughts did she have in mind to continue living in this castle? ”

"I don't know, but there's a passage worth noting."

Black flipped the journal to a certain page of the journal.

"X month X day

Today, as before, I, too, live on the remaining island of Sellius with the other survivors.

He was healthy, but for the queen who witnessed the destruction of Cellius's people in front of him, I, who was no longer a queen, was a curse.

Rather than staying on this isolated island and experiencing the despair of losing everything, it is better to die early and be happy.

I wish I had died sooner, but I know that those who have followed me have shared my desperation, and I don't know what they will do if I don't die like a king.

Either way, I don't want even the few remaining people to die because of this catastrophe, so that Sellius is really over.

I have to live to the end, as the hope of a survivor, to walk through my life like a queen.

Keep hope to others and despair to yourself.

In this way, I can't even do it on my own, but at least I can take this despair underground after death and fall into darkness alone.

I asked those who followed me to build me a secret room deep underground in the castle.

Surely they won't know.

This room is for me when I die.

I must wear the mask of hope, and I can be active in front of everyone, at least I can hold the despair of the country and the guilt of my people, and I will be silent forever in the ground. ”

"In other words, is that vault actually the burial place of the last queen of Seirlius?" Mei Yi said.

"Human resentment can also become elves, and the last time I met Meroyeta, the Chirulian in Yellow Springs was also reincarnated from a primitive human."

At this moment, Xiaoxian suddenly let out a surprised sound.

"Well, which of you saw Meloita?"

"Meroyeta?"

The girls who followed Hei were stunned, and when they calmed down and analyzed the situation, they were probably the only ones who were black.

"Fairy, when was the last time you saw Meloyeta?"

"She followed our master with us, and she was there until just now, but she suddenly disappeared!"

Fairy is probably the one who cares about Meroyeta the most besides Kuro, and she weeps sadly when she sees Meloyeta disappear.

"Master, this situation is missing-"

"Ah, though I don't want to admit it, that guy definitely didn't dare to break away from our character without permission in such a situation. I'm now unconscious and have no way of knowing when Meloyeta went missing, but if the killer was going to commit it, it must have been right now. ”

As Black said, as he read the Queen's diary just now, the eyes and attention of others were focused on him.

Because Xiaochun is dead, they are desperate to get new information from the diary that Hei gets, and what they can find out during class can't be found here because they are too attentive.

No one thought that it was this negligence that gave the murderer a chance, and no one thought that the second incident would come so quickly.

"If that 'murderer' doesn't know magic, then—"

Black began to open every door along the hallway room.

If the other person doesn't know magic and doesn't want others to notice, you need to kidnap Meloeta as quickly as possible without making a sound, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Even if the murderer was a professional assassin and could lead another person silently in the corridor, it would never be possible to walk through such a long corridor in a short period of time, and the only possible way was to find a nearby room to hide.

Of course, it would be a different matter if the murderer might have moved the body by other forces, as Black had guessed.

However, behind every door that could be opened, there was no Meroyeta in the room.

Of course, this does not mean that Meloeta was not actually killed by the murderer, because there is also a door in the nearby room that cannot be opened and locked.

"This, what to do?" Theresia pulled the doorknob, but the door didn't move. "I should be able to break this wooden door directly."

"No, Alyssa should have the key to the room, and if there is a key, there is no need to use such forceful means."

"Then I'll go." Theresia suggested.

"No, I'll go." Black said. "Just stay here, keep an eye on each other, and don't disappear like Meloyeta for no apparent reason. Now, I don't feel comfortable letting any of you go it alone. (To be continued.) )
