"Medea?"

When Medea finished today's acceleration plan and was about to return to the manor, Sheila called her from behind.

"Um?"

"Regarding the death in the hotel," Sheila said thoughtfully, "Didn't you sense any malice? I remember you had a conspiracy sequence."

"I said no, do you believe it?" Medea laughed.

"To be honest, I don't really believe it." Sheila said calmly, "But at the moment, there is no evidence that makes me doubt you."

"In that case, let me explain." Medea said with a smile, "Although conspiracy and intuition are known as the two life-saving sequences, they are actually not completely unsolvable."

"One of the characteristics of conspiracy ability is that it can sense malicious intent. In other words, as long as there is no corresponding malicious intent, the conspiracy ability user will not be able to sense it."

"Killing people without any ill intention?" Sheila was a little surprised. "Is this possible?"

"It can be done through a psychic," said Medea. "Through hypnosis, the emotional part of the mind can be temporarily suppressed, leaving only pure rationality, and then a battle plan can be formulated in this state."

"In this case, all planning steps were designed to achieve a certain goal. Even if it involved killing, for the planners, it was done for the sake of completing the plan, and there was no malice towards any specific person."

"You mean..." Sheila suddenly realized, "'Destroy you, but it has nothing to do with you.'"

"That's right," said Medea. "Have you ever heard of 'anti-socialists'? Some people do not feel strong malice when they cause large-scale destruction and killing, because they do not regard harming others as a hostile or aggressive act in their hearts."

"Use psychic abilities to hypnotize people so that they don't regard evil as evil." Sheila nodded, "I understand."

"That is to say, the conspirator behind the scenes used psychic abilities to make plans without causing any malicious intent. The half-elf woman at the scene immediately assassinated Ask after receiving the order, leaving us with no time to react."

"As for why they took such precautions, the bloodline sequence of the Purgatory Succubus is not a secret to some people, right?" Medea nodded and said, "Then, what is the character portrait of the planner?"

"He is someone who has a good understanding of supernatural knowledge and is skilled in designing conspiracies and inciting public sentiment." Sheila said in a deep voice, "A qualified politician."

"And he holds a high position." Medea added, "According to what the demigod who guards the prison said, he should be the political enemy of the half-elf queen."

"At the same time, she is most likely a demigod." Sheila thought thoughtfully, "Speaking of this, what is the Queen's political inclination?"

"My guess is that the queen is friendly to humans and has a high reputation among the half-elf community," Medea said thoughtfully. "So her political enemies want to stir up hatred against us, which is actually hatred against the human community, and take the opportunity to attack the queen."

"It's a contest between the reformists and the conservatives." Sheila sighed, "Do you remember that Eleanor mentioned the current situation of the half-elves in her plan?"
