Volume One, Chapter 8: Mutual Suspicion

"So, the Sheriff still cannot be trusted..."

"In that last round, even though we were all newcomers who hadn't learned how to use our character cards, if we had heard the background story, we might have united."

"If that were the case, the accomplice in the group might not have made a move, or perhaps they simply wouldn't have known how."

An accomplice who doesn't even know how to use a character card is actually a burden to the God-Slayer.

"If the God-Slayer were alone, they would have to expose themselves the moment they made a move during the hand-holding phase. Therefore, they had to eliminate two people to sow discord and confuse our reasoning."

"The God-Slayer knew from the beginning what kind of hints this carriage would provide. In other words, before we received the background clues, they had to make us understand how to use our character cards and skills."

"This wasn't just to guide us; from the God-Slayer's perspective, it was also to help the accomplice adapt to the game quickly."

"So, the Sheriff's motive for helping us remains unclear. He could be the team leader, or he could be the God-Slayer..."

However, this makes the behavior of the young woman, 'Everyone Who Touches Me Gets Cucked,' during the hand-holding phase rather strange.

Since this woman had side quests and hints, even if she had realized that everyone was harboring ulterior motives, she shouldn't have abandoned the Sheriff, who appeared to have the highest prestige at the moment!

Based on the evidence available, the Sheriff at least appeared to be a good person. There was no reason for her not to choose to stand next to him, instead opting for the side of the thug!

Just then, Qin Shang felt a jolt in his heart.

[Hint: Perhaps the clue is hidden right under our noses.]

Right, the hint...

As an assistant, 'Everyone Who Touches Me Gets Cucked' had her own dungeon hints!

In other words, there must have been a reason why she chose not to stand next to the high-prestige Sheriff during the hand-holding phase.

That reason might be related to the hint.

Thinking of this, Qin Shang instinctively glanced around.

There were too many newspapers on the walls; it would be impossible to read them all one by one.

Then there was the task and clue inherited from 'Handsome Enough to Get Hacked.' Qin Shang was actually in a bit of a dilemma.

Knowing that the side effect of inheriting was that he had to take on the side quest, he felt a subconscious resistance.

After all, who knew what the side quest of 'Handsome Enough to Get Hacked' might be...

For the sake of one clue, taking on an extra task—the trade-off didn't seem worth it.

For now, 'Everyone Who Touches Me Gets Cucked,' who possessed the 'Decipher' ability as a teacher, must have discovered some clue in this carriage that caused her favorability toward the Sheriff to plummet.

I need to act alone for a while. With this thought, Qin Shang looked up at the others.

At this moment, his teammates had just experienced the terror of having someone killed beside them. Their emotions were extremely unstable, and they were all suspicious and accusing one another.

In particular, the physician 'Sister Know-It-All' had shifted the focus onto the two priests.

The little girl and the elderly priest had become the targets of everyone's ire.

"If a priest is the accomplice, the Sheriff might be the God-Slayer. He could easily let go of his hand to allow the priest to slaughter those two! With the priest's unique night-vision skill, it would be effortless to take out the noblewoman and the thug in the dark!"

"And you, little girl, you don't look like a good person either. If the one who ax
