Day of Imprisonment

Naturally, the first to answer was the burly man.

He glanced at the mature woman and said, "I don't believe it, because I am the one."

Good heavens, he's completely reversed the situation, giving the exact same answer the mature woman gave him earlier.

These two are really going at it.

High school girl: "I don't believe it, she isn't!"

Tense man: "Believe, no, wait a moment... This time I'll choose to disbelieve, I don't believe it!"

This guy is quite fair, jumping back and forth.

Affable one: "I don't believe it either!"

Day laborer: "Damn it, are you guys really bored out of your minds? Fine, I believe it, I believe it, I believe it all."

He was getting a little agitated.

Luo Xi continued eating, watching everyone's reactions, and suddenly felt that this game was too interesting.

"The third round of questioning begins."

The affable one looked at the high school girl.

The latter seemed to have already decided what to ask, and immediately said, "Since the question must be related to the assassin, then I want to ask why the horse-man said that the assassin must kill the 'Enforcer,' 'Detective,' and 'Diviner' to win. Why must it be these three professions?"

After speaking, she looked at the burly man.

"How would I know? If I knew, I'd really know. These three professions might be the same person, so the assassin must kill them, because killing one is equivalent to killing three."

The burly man finished speaking, sat down, and stopped talking, wiping his sweat.

The mature woman glanced at the burly man with some disdain and chuckled, "I am the assassin, I can answer your question. Because I like to, I'll kill whoever I want."

The burly man was stunned, then suddenly realized.

He was probably secretly annoyed, thinking he should have answered that way.

Damn it, must stay calm, stay calm!

It was Luo Xi's turn to answer.

He wiped his mouth, having been eating and drinking the whole time, and had almost finished everything on his table.

"Because the Enforcer can arrest the assassin; the Detective is the Enforcer's assistant; the Diviner knows who the assassin is. Based on these three reasons, the assassin must kill them to win. I've finished answering!"

As soon as Luo Xi finished speaking, he felt the gazes of the other eight people.

He looked up: "Why are you looking at me? My answer should be more normal than the previous ones, right? Or did I guess correctly?"

The affable one pondered for a moment, then looked at Luo Xi with a completely different gaze than before.

"Next, please answer."

Next was the hook-nosed man, who shook his head as always. Just as resolute as him was the taciturn man, who also shook his head.

"No, this question isn't asking you 'yes' or 'no.' What do you mean by shaking your heads? I think it's a foul, a foul."

The burly man couldn't help but say.

No one paid attention to him.

Tense man: "This question is wrong. It seems to be asking about the assassin, but it's actually talking about the other three professions. I also think it's a foul. If I have to answer, then I can only say I don't know."

It was the affable one's turn. As the initiator of the entire 'Nine-Person Roundtable,' he said at this moment, "The question is not a foul. Although it uses the assassin to set up a question trap to probe the other three professions, strictly speaking, it is also related to the assassin... As for my answer, the reason the assassin must kill those three professions is because he fears their abilities."

Finally, it was the day laborer who seemed very impatient and inexplicably anxious.

"Whatever you say is whatever. I don't know, do whatever!"

He was already a little restless.

Next, it was Luo Xi's turn to ask a question.

He looked at the food and snacks on the bespectacled girl's table next to him, and didn't say anything.

The latter felt uncomfortable being stared at and handed over the plate with the little snacks: "Are you hungry?"

"Do you still want the milk?" Luo Xi asked back, taking the small plate.

"I don't want it, I'll give it to you too."

The high school girl also handed over the warm pot of milk.

"Thank you!" Luo Xi took it, with a happy expression on his face.

The burly man couldn't help but say, "Among our professions, is there also a hungry ghost?"

The affable one looked at Luo Xi and said, "It's your turn to ask a question. Also, I can give you my nuts to eat."

"Then thank you." Luo Xi took them unceremoniously, and then said, "My question is, assuming you are not the assassin, then who do you think is the assassin among the remaining eight people?"

It could be said that, just looking at the question, Luo Xi was the one who asked the most on-topic and normal question among these people.

However, after the others carefully savored the question, their expressions immediately varied.

Some people were stunned, some frowned, and some couldn't help but glance at Luo Xi, who was continuing to eat and drink.

The burly man was the first to answer the question.

He thought about it, and pondered for a long time, his eyes sweeping over the other eight people, and said, "I am not the assassin, I am actually the Enforcer. I think this big sister next to me is definitely the assassin, she admitted it herself."

Mature woman: "If I am not the assassin, then I am the Enforcer. The assassin I identify is him!"

She pointed at the affable one.

"It's him. Does he think that just because he says he's not the assassin, he's not? The reason you're holding this roundtable isn't to find out who the assassin is, because you are the assassin. What you want to find out are the 'Enforcer,' 'Detective,' and 'Diviner.' I've finished answering."

This woman had been talking incoherently and crazily from the beginning, but this last accusation was quite serious and even a little convincing.

The affable one, however, remained very calm, just smiled, and didn't say anything.

Next to answer was the high school girl.

She frowned: "This question itself is problematic. Are you trying to imply something through this question? If all eight of us assume we are not the assassin, then who the assassin is will be obvious, wouldn't it be yourself? Because you don't need to answer the question, so I think you are the assassin."

The high school girl was talking to Luo Xi.

The other people thought about it, and it was really true.

"This question is a bit stupid, this young man has gotten himself into trouble."

The day laborer sneered.

Luo Xi didn't say anything, still eating, skipping him, the next one to answer was the hook-nosed man. He first glanced at Luo Xi, and then stared at the taciturn man. This time he didn't shake his head, because Luo Xi's question was, assuming you are not the assassin, then who do you think is the assassin.

This time, pointing directly with his hand counted as an answer.

The hook-nosed man raised his hand and pointed at the high school girl.

It was the taciturn man's turn. He thought about it, and also raised his hand and pointed at the high school girl.

These two could be considered a united front. If it were a man and a woman, it would definitely be a husband singing and wife following.

Next was the tense man.

He also seemed to be carefully considering this question, his eyes occasionally looking at the affable one, and then he turned his gaze to the burly man in the first position: "I think he is the assassin."

The burly man wanted to curse, but in the end he just chuckled and didn't say anything.

Affable one: "This question is very interesting, okay, if you let me choose, I also think you are the assassin."

This was said to Luo Xi.

The last one to express his opinion was the day laborer, who was about to speak, but saw Luo Xi patting the crumbs of the snack in his hand, shaking his clothes, grabbing the milk cup, getting up and walking towards the affable one, and then, in the astonishment and bewilderment of everyone who hadn't reacted, smashing the cup hard on the affable one's head.

Smash!

The heavy crystal cup shattered directly, and the affable one fell to the ground before he could even react.

Everyone was stunned.

The affable one fell to the ground and didn't move, directly knocked unconscious by this heavy blow.

Luo Xi looked excited; "This beating ability is quite useful, not bad."

"You, what are you doing?" The tense man was even more tense at this moment. He stood up, staring at Luo Xi warily: "You, are you really the assassin?"

Luo Xi ignored him.

Instead, he said to the hook-nosed man and the taciturn man over there: "I already know everyone's profession. Now gag his mouth and watch him. If he wakes up, don't let him mess around."

After speaking, he walked towards the high school girl.

The latter also looked terrified: "What are you going to do? You, wait a moment..."

Luo Xi approached, but didn't make a move, instead staring at her with a slightly teasing expression.

At this moment, the high school girl's neck was covered in sweat.

That expression was like a little white rabbit encountering a big bad wolf.

"Seeing as you gave me snacks to eat, I won't hit you, but from now on, you can't talk, Miss Assassin!" Luo Xi finished speaking and said to the mature woman next to him: "Gag her mouth, don't let her speak, not even a word."

The mature woman smiled, nodding, her expression very much like a nanny in a certain palace drama.

She reached out and grabbed the tablecloth on the table, crumpled it up, and directly stuffed it into the high school girl's mouth.

"Woo woo woo~" The high school girl wanted to resist, but the mature woman slapped her into submission.

Luo Xi turned his head and said to the still dumbfounded burly man, day laborer, and tense man: "You are free to move around, but I will only give you three minutes. I know your professions, and the assassin is in my hands. Whoever I tell her to kill, they must die."

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the day laborer was the first to run out, like someone who had been holding back and wanted to go to the toilet.

The remaining two also thought about it, and retreated away.

After doing all this, Luo Xi sat down to the side and picked up another peach crisp.

The affable one was unconscious, the hook-nosed man and the taciturn man were watching him; the high school girl was gagged, the mature woman was in charge of watching her, Luo Xi was eating peach crisps, and the other three people were given three minutes of free time by Luo Xi.

The scene transitioned smoothly from a moment of chaos to a strange state.

The hook-nosed man looked at Luo Xi at this time, thought about it, and said, "Are you a robber?"

Luo Xi nodded.

The hook-nosed man then said, "You seem to already know my profession?"

"Yes!"

At this point, of course, there was no need for Luo Xi to deny it.

Because the game was about to end.

"Heh, I didn't expect this game to have this kind of gameplay. It's much faster than I expected, really much faster."

The hook-nosed man looked at the time. From the time he went up to the second floor until now, only ten minutes had passed.

And most of these ten minutes were spent in 'questions' and 'answers.'

"You are indeed not 'mute'!"

The mature woman suddenly said.

"Of course I'm not, he is."

The hook-nosed man pointed to the taciturn man, who smiled helplessly and nodded.
