There is Definitely Something Wrong with This Game

Chapter 421: Surprisingly simple

"Look, my room is only this small, you can tell at a glance if there's anyone hiding here."

"I'm almost there."

"All the same."

"Well, look if you want. I have nothing to hide anyway."

The check went very smoothly. Originally, Gu Moli planned to start with himself, but then Leviathan said that it would be too troublesome to run back and forth, and it might not catch up with the next gathering of magic power, so he simply started the check from carriage No. 1.

So after that, the six passengers including Gu Moli started from carriage No. 1 and checked the rooms of Leviathan, Amphisbanner, Medusa, and Amute one after another, until they stopped at carriage No. 5, and then everyone turned their attention.

"Is it your turn, sir?"

"Don't let me find any suspicious points."

"Hurry up and don't waste time."

"Everyone calm down..."

Except for Banner who is relatively friendly, the other three, Medusa is smiling but hiding a dagger, Amt is clearly distrustful, and Leviathan is more inclined to be impatient.

"It doesn't matter. I have a clear conscience anyway."

"That's good."

Gu Moli narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "I am a newcomer after all. It is normal for you to distrust me. In this case, I will not enter this room."

Upon hearing this, Amt was the first to ask: "What do you mean?"

"To avoid suspicion."

"And Mr. Banner, can I have a quick chat with you?"

"Eh? Me?"

Banner was stunned when he saw Gu Moli mentioning him by name, but he quickly nodded: "Sure, sure, no problem. May I ask what can I do for you...?"

Before Banner finished speaking, Amt laughed.

"You're not stupid."

This was not said to Banner, but to Gu Moli, which made Banner confused: "What do you mean not stupid? What are you talking about?"

"Tsk, idiot!" Amt cursed Banner mercilessly, then sneered: "Atlas died in carriage No. 2. If we ignore external factors and directly conclude that the murderer is among us, who do you think has the best chance of killing that big guy?"

During the period when magic power was gathering, the corridor of the train was filled with a large amount of magic power.

Even if there are passengers who can rely on some props or their own strength to resist, it is somewhat unrealistic to want to move long distances. So...

"Of course the one closest to Atlas!"

"That woman."

“And you!”

Facing Amt's undisguised accusation, Leviathan simply curled his lips in an unpleasant manner, looking completely disdainful of making excuses, while Banner was stunned.

"... .I?"

Then there was obvious panic: "No, no, no! I can't do that! I don't have the ability to kill Mr. Atlas, and I can't do that..."

"Of course I do."

Amt interrupted Amt unhappily: "Otherwise I wouldn't have said it so directly... ..You go in and search the newcomer's room."

After Amt finished speaking, he frowned towards Gu Moli's room.

Then he looked at Gu Moli.

"Newbie, you want to ask a question, right? Let me answer it for you."

"... ..you?"

"Whether it's my question or that idiot's question, I can answer you, and I just happen to have a few questions for you."

"Of course." After saying that, Amt took the initiative to stand next to Gu Moli: "If you are still not satisfied after listening to my answer and want to go to that idiot to verify it, it's up to you. Although in the end you will definitely only get an answer from that idiot that is not much different from mine."

"... That's fine too."

Gu Moli touched his chin when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Let's do this. If you have any doubts about me, you can go check my room."

"... Then I'll be polite, gentleman."

"Uh, so I too...?"

"Tsk, what a hassle."

"I don't think the gentleman is the murderer..."

Medusa, Banner, Leviathan, and Vikas walked into Gu Moli's room one after another, leaving only Gu Moli and Amt standing in the corridor.

After a moment.

"Banner couldn't have been a passenger on the train. He was from outside the train because I know him and we got on the train together."

Amt said suddenly without looking at Gu Moli.

“This one.”

Gu Moli smiled and said, "I talked to Banner before and he said the same thing, but it's possible that you two had colluded, right?"

"That idiot... has no sense of defense. He has probably told you everything about himself, right?"

"The life-saving talent that is temporarily ineffective?"

“Tsk!”

Amt smacked his lips and said, "... Never mind. Anyway, that idiot is probably the weakest of all the passengers. He can't possibly be strong enough to kill Atlas."

“I will judge this myself later.”

"But before that, can I ask an unrelated question?"

"... .explain."

"Medusa, Leviathan, these two names I have heard of, they are both monsters in mythology, right? Are your names based on these?"

"certainly."

Amt glanced at Gu Moli and smiled: "This is why I believe you are a newcomer. In fact, this is an old rule on the train. We are all people who have come into contact with the devil. We have either received favors from him or escaped from his hands."

"Strictly speaking, they are no longer human. On this train where we need to be wary of each other, isn't it most appropriate to call ourselves monsters?"

"Can you tell me the origins of these names? Medusa and Leviathan are... well, they're famous, so I know them, but your names are a little strange to me."

"how?"

Amt looked at Gu Moli and said, "Will this help you solve the case? Gentleman... I think you should call yourself a detective, which is more appropriate."

"That's fine if you want to call me that."

"... .snort."

Amt sniffed. "My name is taken from the servant of Hades. You should be able to see that I will not be favored by death."

A servant of Hades... Gu Moli recalled that even though Amt had half his head blown off by him, he still looked full of energy.

It is indeed vivid.

"Where are the other three? Dharmavikas, Amphisbanner, oh yeah, and the dead Atlas."

"You really don't know anything."

Amt raised his eyebrows and immediately said casually: "Dhamavikas is a chicken dragon, and also a monster that brings wealth. That Vikas should be a wealthy businessman, and he may have used money to get a prominent official position. As for Atlas, he is a giant in mythology and legend."

Compared with Atlas's reminder, the meaning of this name is self-explanatory.

"They are all names that hint at one's identity."

"What about Banner?"

“Him.”

Amt hesitated for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "That idiot's name represents a two-headed monster in mythology."

"Two-headed..."

Gu Moli smiled.
