When the darkness dissipated, Tang Juyi was still sitting at the round table, but the surrounding environment had changed.

No longer the spacious specimen room before, the room at this time has become a small basement, barely accommodating thirteen people, including Tang Juyi, and there is no extra space.

The basement is unlit, the walls are made of white wood, which seems to have been specially treated with moisture, and the surface is also waxed, which looks quite smooth.

Thirteen candles were lit on the round table, the only source of light in the basement.

Tang Juyi squinted his eyes and glanced at the twelve people on the table, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't make the action of "speaking", so he could only remain silent.

Tang Juyi, who discovered this, tried to move his body again, and sure enough, he couldn't move freely.

"Interesting, are so many restrictions trying to prevent me from obtaining information related to the truth through other means?"

Tang Juyi had some vague guesses in his heart.

The silence did not last long, and the first person sitting on Tang Juyi's left hand side, that is, the dancer with heavy makeup, began to narrate:

[There is a parade circus in town today]

Almost as soon as the last word fell, Tang Juyi had already begun to try to construct the outline of an event in his mind:

"A small town? A secret confined to the interior of the town? Judging by the outfits and facial features of these people, it should be a small town in the West...... So Jack the Clown might be a performer in some exotic circus in the West? ”

When the dancer finished speaking, she stopped speaking, and the next person to speak was a thin young man to the left of the dancer, dressed in a uniform that had been washed to white, and his face looked cowardly:

[When I went to deliver a letter to the chef in town, I heard about the new circus, and it seems that everyone is looking forward to it]

It is narrated in clockwise order...... So will it be my turn after a lap? But I have no idea what to do? ”

Tang Juyi immediately realized the problem.

After the postman, there was a doctor in a white robe:

[While dealing with Butcher's toothache, he mentions the new circus]

Next after the doctor is the sheriff in his iconic uniform:

[I've never heard of this circus before, but their leader, Dumont, claims to be a famous team.]

The elderly priest continued the words of the sheriff:

[It seems to me that people like the circus who make money from strange animals or people will sooner or later be punished by God]

The next three people to speak are the four people who played the role of "mayor", "chef", "hunter" and "butcher" in this incident.

Mayor Mare: [I wish this circus was coming and the town wasn't so lifeless]

Chef: [The guy who delivered the letter told me there was a new circus in town, and I thought I should check it out.]

Orion: [You can't even see the shadow of those prey in winter...... Maybe it's time for me to put down my gun and take a break, maybe it's a good idea to watch a circus show.]

Butcher: [A toothache is a very annoying thing, but luckily the doctor is experienced enough, but he may be too immersed in his field of expertise to even know anything about the new circus.]

The mayor of the town is the politician in a suit that Tang Juyi previously thought, a middle-aged man who seems to have no problems. The Chef is a slightly chubby man, while the Orion and the Butcher are both tall and strong, and look quite old. The butcher, in particular, has always had a terrifying ferocity on his face.

"It's not right to judge people by their appearance, but this butcher looks like he's about to become the main suspect in a horrific incident......"

Tang Juyi complained in his heart.

When the townspeople had finished their narratives, it was the turn of the last circus performers.

A bearded dwarf, who was extremely short in stature, but looked extremely old, said:

[I really want to know what is hidden in McJick's black box, but unfortunately he has not been able to tell me]

The next one was a handsome young man, with exaggerated politeness, and a shirt with small glittering sequins:

[Dwarf Dolph has been a little strange lately, and Jack has told me that he has seen Dolph behave unusually...... Maybe I'm too careful......]

Then, there was an older, ordinary-looking man with shiny curly hair:

[I believe that we will have a lot of harvest in this town]

At this time, the last person to narrate is the head of the circus, Dumont, and on his left hand side is where Tang Juyi is located.

The whole narrative seems to be approaching a round.

Just as Tang Juyi was thinking about what his character would say, a mist mixed with the cold wind suddenly came, making Tang Juyi feel as if he was in a cold winter night, and he seemed to be able to feel the cold snowflakes floating on his face.

"Don't you need me to narrate? Do I just have to watch each game and then speculate? ”

Tang Juyi's previous doubts were also explained at this time, which made him somewhat clear about the rules of this game.

"So it's time to wrap things up...... This is the story of a small western town that takes place sometime in the winter, where an unknown circus comes to a sparsely populated town, and the townspeople all have their own reasons to converge on the circus...... Oh, no, that pedantic priest wouldn't go. ”

Tang Juyi took advantage of this free time to quickly and accurately analyze, and connected the existing information and stories to build a picture in his mind.

Some of them had been lying, but the twelve seemed to be telling the truth, and there was nothing wrong with the reality or the other people's accounts...... Tsk, it's a bit tricky......"

Judging from what the grinning puppet said before, Tang Juyi needs to reason correctly before the thirteen rounds of the game are completed, that is, the clues may not be exposed in the first few rounds of the game, and the flaws may not be revealed in the later narrative.

In this way, Tang Juyi not only needs to memorize a large number of narrative content, but also analyzes and compares every previous narrative, and the opportunity to really reason may only be a few short rounds of games.

Not to mention, there may be a lot of confusing information as a trap to trick Tang Juyi into making wrong inferences.

Based on the current situation, it is obvious that this first round of the game cannot see who the "liar" really is, because everyone's narrative is in line with their own identity, and many of these narratives are related to each other, and Tang Juyi can only do to make doubts.

"The butcher's and doctor's narratives should both be normal, as the two men's narratives have the same partial content...... Then the Chef and the Postman are in a similar situation, but it cannot be ruled out that only a small half of the narrative is a lie......"

When Tang Juyi thought about this, the fog had already cleared again, revealing twelve other people.

However, the old man who had a serious face was now leaning back in his chair with his eyes out of focus, his mouth slightly open, and a sharp dagger stuck in his chest.

A large amount of dark red blood spread from the wound, staining his white clothes into a shocking mottled color, and even dripping all the way to the ground.

Judging from the look on the priest's face, it seemed that he had suffered some terrible incident and wanted to say something before he died. His right hand was also on his chest, and he looked like he wanted to pull out the dagger that stabbed him in the heart.

Of the twelve candles on the round table, only twelve were still burning.

Tang Juyi's heart was shocked:

"A special event broke out so soon? Someone killed the priest? ”

After discovering that the priest had been killed, Tang Juyi immediately observed the expressions of the other eleven people, but the faces of the townspeople only showed fear, incomprehension, anger, and shock, and no other suspicious emotions.

Therefore, Tang Juyi also moved his eyes to a few people in the circus, but he also found nothing. The handsome magician was smiling, the head of the group, Dumont, was calm, and the gnome was still gloomy, and no one seemed to react to the priest's death.

At this time, the second round of the game begins.
