In a disorderly darkness, they seemed to be immersed in the precipitation of a long time, but in fact it was only ten minutes.

Finally, like the first rays of sunlight piercing through the layers of darkness, their vision gradually returned to light, indicating that they had successfully matched and stepped into the shadow world.

Ranch looked around, to his right and left, Hubertian and Frey, their faces as familiar as ever, unchanged.

His gaze swept over the faces of his companions to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows not far away.

The clear reflection proves that his own face still retains its original contours.

The view outside the window is difficult to discern because the heavy fog makes everything seem hazy.

If it weren't for the faint flickering of fireflies in the garden outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, they wouldn't even be able to tell if it was early in the morning or late at night.

Under the thick fog, it seems that the dawn outside is placed in a world full of mysterious beauty.

Inside, both Ranch and Frey were already dressed in formal attire.

Although the styles are different, they complement their temperament.

Ranchi's beige classic suit with a brown waistcoat and neatly combed hair made him look more suave than usual after a little formal dressing.

Frey's slightly laid-back black suit was worn over a dark blue trench coat, a pair of black hard leather gloves on his hands, and sunglasses that were still half-worn to obscure half of his eyes.

Hubertian, on the other hand, was dressed in a red dress that resembled a poet of great love, and her delicate makeup made her temperament completely different, only looking elegant and gorgeous and lovable, and a thin coat was draped over her shoulders, as if to resist the cold.

Dressed like this, they were convinced that this was not the Demon Realm, and this time it didn't seem like the examination room of the Demon Academy, where they were forced to join a room with a coercive mechanism without a start, and it seemed that everyone could move freely.

There is a subtle coolness in the air.

It's not the bitter cold of winter, it's as if breathing on the top of a mountain.

The three of them did not immediately talk, but first immersed themselves in their surroundings, quietly looking at each other.

In front of me is a huge banquet hall with a dome more than ten meters high, and at the same time, it looks like an ancient church.

Looking up, the magnificent organ nearly five stories high occupies the entire back wall, and the pipes are either upright, curved, golden, or elegantly pigmented, arranged in different shapes and layers, exuding an indescribable sense of sacred solemnity.

The stained-glass dome is adorned with intricate gold carvings and crystal chandeliers, which in a soft glow reflect like a galaxy hanging from the ceiling, illuminating the magnificent dark stone walls and smooth marble floors.

In the center of the main hall occupies a large and spacious baroque long table, with silver candlesticks shining in the light of the fire, and on either side of the long table, twelve dining chairs carved from brown oak are orderly, showing the luxurious fragrance of drunkenness and drinking.

In this majestic and majestic banquet hall, several figures stood scattered.

The two of them gathered together in three of them, and stayed quietly in place, like stone sculptures.

Neither the luxurious sanctuary, nor the dawn of dawn, nor the bitter cold wind, could shake their indifference.

Because this hall is not so harmonious.

In such a scene, the smell of blood mixed with death and the smell of pig iron permeated the entire hall, and the smell was so strong and pungent that it completely covered the aroma of the temple.

At the end of the hall, on the main seat of the long table, a corpse in rich costume was leaning its head back on a high-backed chair, its face full of despair and unwillingness, and the emotion of extreme pain froze in the empty eyes.

His chest was brutally torn open from the bottom of his chest to his abdomen, as if it were a gruesome painting of texture, and gurgling scarlet springs poured out of his body, spilling tragic art on the ground.

Oozing blood blends with the patterns of the marble floor, flowing through the ballroom, leaving blood-red marks along the lines of the table legs.

This blood color was like an invisible knife, slicing this banquet hall that was originally shining with gold and silver brilliance, and turned it into a strange and terrifying murderous cage.

Soon, the hint also appeared in front of you.

【Shadow World: Templar Villains Dinner】

[Level: 5th Order]

[In this late autumn, twelve of you guests have been invited by Sir Caligula to assemble at this castle on a cliff. 】

[You all seem to have different social identities, but in fact you are all members of the Secret Church, aiming to overthrow the bloody rule of the Bloods over humanity. 】

[However, the archpriest Caligula died tragically that night. 】

[Of the twelve, there are traitors who have defected to the side of the Blood Clan. 】

[Total number of challengers: 12]

[Special Status Challenger: 3]

[Special Identity - Detective (Non-Betrayal): Automatically selected as the non-betrayer with the best chance of solving the puzzle among all the challengers, and is characterized by wearing a cross Radiance brooch gifted by Sir Caligula. 】

[Special Status-Bloodline Dependents (Betrayals): You can borrow their powers once a day when the Bloodlord Count Palokas and the Bloodlord Count Sebernar are awakened. 】

[Note: If a blood family member dies, the Earl Blood Lord will arrive at the castle within a day.] 】

[Objective 1: Find the Betrayer 0/2.] 】

[Objective 2: Explore the secrets and dangers hidden in the castle.] 】

[Objective 3: At least 1 player survives until the end of the 120-hour time limit.] 】

[The betrayer has a completely different mission objective, which is visible only to the betrayer; Non-betrayers gain professional status, which is only visible to non-betrayers. 】

[If the challenger mission objective fails, it will lead to a natural disaster.] 】

[119 hours and 59 minutes remaining.] 】

[All Challengers will start at the base lobby.] 】

On the high walls of the interior of the hall, a large bell hangs quietly.

At this time, the hands had just crossed the position of half past five, and it was early in the morning at dawn.

As the prompt message of the movie world flashed, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense.

In this castle, everyone is in danger!

People's eyes began to sharpen, like a pack of caged beasts, wary of each other, because everyone knew that they were going to face a five-day challenge full of trust and risking their lives.

It's no ordinary film world.

The enemy is not a historical figure projected in the world of the film.

It's a death game between historical figures played by challengers, deceiving and recognizing deception, killing and stopping killing!

Challengers in the Templar.

No matter what you're thinking.

Finally, they gradually looked at the man who was selected by the shadow world and wore the cross holy radiance brooch-

The gray hair is slightly messy, the figure is tall and strong, full of wolf-like explosive power, the face is angular and half-covered with a pair of small sunglasses, and the aggressive eyes are deep and cold.

There is an unstoppable arrogance all over his body, and he looks like a killer at first glance.

“……”

Wait a minute.

Here it is.

Detective......?

……

At Eceryte College in the middle of the night, the Gera Memorial Square glowed with white light.

The time on the clock tower also points to half past five in the morning.

However, at this point in time, the square is already lively.

Many of the students who had guessed the time of the second scene of Ranch and Hubertarian were already carrying camping blankets and catering boxes, and had taken a seat on the steps of the plaza with a good view.

As the picture world belonging to the three Lanchi appeared on the open-air giant screen.

The Echrita Academy, in the Plaza de la Memorial, was finally in an uproar again.

"Frey is a detective?"

"Isn't he a power player?!"

Many students in the Knights' Academy knew that Frey had monster-like strength and physical growth, even if he was only fourth-order, the fifth-order veterans of the Knights' Academy did not dare to say that they could beat him hard.

In the third round of the actual combat test of the entrance examination of the Knights' Academy, he didn't play any bells and whistles, and rushed up and threw the first punch to the examiner that shocked the Knights' Academy.

In addition to the fact that this guy's brain circuit is very strange, he is indeed the strongest chief freshman in the history of the strongest knight academy.

But no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a detective!

In itself, this fifth-order shadow world is extremely dangerous for the challenger side who is in the open, and it is possible to face the unknown and too powerful blood clan power at any time, even if it is a sixth-order challenger, the slightest carelessness will catch him off guard and die a tragic death.

For ordinary third- and fourth-order challengers, it is even more difficult to seriously exceed the program.

The level of the detective directly determines the challenger's hope of winning.

A detective with an absolutely trustworthy identity will be the key to finding the betrayer!

If the detectives drag their feet and fail to find the betrayer, everyone will be in a desperate situation as the process of the betrayer's covert mission is carried out in the shadows and accelerated.

And the challenger can't push the two traitors who are blood clan dependents too hard, and must have a huge information gap to stabilize the betrayer and find a way to catch him.

Otherwise, once the betrayers jump over the wall in a hurry and choose to die together, the seventh-order Blood Earl will be attracted, and the violent mode that will completely destroy the challengers will be directly activated.

Even a seventh-order powerhouse couldn't resist the immortality of the Blood Earl, and there was almost no hope of winning alone.

Even if the challengers in this fifth-order shadow world are all combined, they will not be able to defeat the earl at night, and even if they can escape during the day, when the sun goes down, they will be brutally tortured and killed by the Earl of the Blood Clan!

"Oh no, it's fine if Ranchi is a detective...... Why is it Frey......"

"Detectives can only be chosen from among the non-betrayers, so Ranch can't be a member of the Blood Clan, right?"

Although the students began to suspect the identities of the two extrahuman creatures, Ranchi and Hubelian, they could clearly see the information from their perspectives because they had both opened the [Shadow World Record Program].

The identities of Ranch and Hubertarian are [lawyer] and [actress] respectively.

【Lawyer】Familiar with the laws and regulations of the current country, you can view them in your own movie world panel.

[Actress] is more likely to attract the attack.

The mission objective is also the regular version.

Obviously, Frey, Ranch, and Huberian were not betrayers.

The betrayer must be hiding among the other nine challengers of unknown strength.

In the Jera Memorial Plaza, the dim light and shadow of the open-air giant screen reflected on the students' faces, bright or dark, made them swallow their saliva.

Just thinking that it was themselves who were in this shadow world that could die at any moment, many students felt chills down their spines and their hairs stood on end.

Whenever night falls.

Waiting for itself.

It could have been the tragic end of Sir Caligula, who sat on the Lord's seat, stripped of his chest and abdomen.

"This kind of mental game, the shadow world that requires the challenger and the villain to play deception and murder, is often a test of psychological quality, and sometimes before the final moment, the psychological defense line may collapse, and even can't help but commit suicide to seek relief."

Some senior students couldn't help but sigh solemnly.

However.

He looked at the screen, looked at the detectives, lawyers, and actresses, and remembered the recent "Stressing Civilization, Establishing a New Style" action on campus, and choked up in the middle of speaking.

"But these three bullies from the student union went in, how do you feel that the painting style is a little wrong!"

Let me explain in advance that none of the three members of the protagonist group are betrayers, and there is no such thing as a rebellious operation of the Great Pain Teacher
