【Anomaly Kill】 He is That Anomaly!

On the field, as Player 2 extinguished his candle, the right to speak was quickly transferred to Player 1.

Player 1 had clearly been listening intently. It wasn't until the candle before him lit up that he looked up with a start.

"Uh... well..." His expression was somewhat flustered.

"This... the situation changed so suddenly, I'm a bit dizzy."

"In that case, since Player 2 is the Peeper, we can't vote out Player 3 for now. That means we have to choose between Player 7 and Player 9 today. But neither of them has spoken yet, so I don't have much to say..."

After a few moments of rambling, Player 1 seemed to finally regain his train of thought.

"Oh, right. I have an idea." Player 1 suddenly seemed to remember what he wanted to say.

"I listened carefully to the scene Player 2 described just now, but honestly, I didn't feel anything special about it."

"So, subjectively speaking, does that mean our rooms are actually... meaningless?"

Player 1 spoke slowly, his brow furrowed as if he were racking his brains while talking.

"I don't think that's right. I think there must still be limitations to this Anomaly's ability."

"The biggest special point about yesterday's victim was that he died in a double room."

"That's it! Why did the Anomaly kill someone in a double room?"

Player 1's eyes suddenly lit up, his words flowing more smoothly.

"Earlier, the Peeper explained it by saying Player 3's performance yesterday was poor, so the Anomaly wanted to frame him directly."

"But at the same time, the Anomaly should have known that a double room was more likely to be chosen by the Peeper. Therefore, their attempt to frame him might not necessarily succeed."

"However... even if the framing failed, it would still draw out the Peeper, which wouldn't be a total loss..."

As Player 1 spoke, he talked himself into a circle again, rubbing his temples hard.

"This is bad, everyone. This Anomaly seems quite smart."

Player 1 looked up only to find everyone's gaze fixed on him, and every single one of those gazes carried the same sentiment:

You're just realizing this now?

From the Anomaly's rules at the very beginning, it was clear that this Anomaly could perfectly blend in with Humans.

"This... anyway, my point is, is this Anomaly's ability truly without any restrictions?" Player 1 became nervous under the collective gaze, and his voice began to stutter.

"Is it possible that the reason he chose someone in a double room to kill was because his teleportation ability can only work in double rooms?"

Underneath the table, Ren Yi's finger, which had been slowly tapping his thigh, paused slightly.

This Player 1 is actually quite clever.

Yesterday, Player 1 had made a blunder as soon as he spoke, suggesting that no one should look for the key, which led to him being mocked by Player 2.

But today, he had accurately pointed out a loophole in Player 2's reasoning.

The tables had truly turned.

To some extent, Player 1 had hit the nail on the head.

Lu Zihan's ability required a "Rebuttal" as a condition for teleportation. Thus, his ability wasn't even "teleport to a double room," but rather "can only teleport to a double room where one Anomaly and one Participant are present."

Furthermore, it required coordination on their part...

In a sense, replicating this operation was unrealistic and didn't make much sense. After all, the Peeper was very likely to start checking single rooms next.

Obviously, the teleporting Anomaly couldn't live in a double room, because he would likely be discovered by the other person.

If your roommate vanished for a while and then reappeared out of thin air, and you also knew one of the Anomalies had teleportation abilities... a simple logical deduction would follow.

In short, if they encountered a double room now, they could just handle it themselves.

Player 1 somewhat timidly extinguished his candle and handed over his speaking rights, looking very unsure of his own speech.

However, quite a few people around the table wore thoughtful expressions.

Next, the right to speak was transferred to Player 12, Lord Cha.

Lord Cha's task today was very simple, consisting of only one word: hooking.

The so-called "hooking" meant that the Anomaly faction would disguise themselves as good people, siding with the good faction's logic and following their lead without showing off too much, so as to avoid becoming the center of attention.

As for the reason, it was exactly what was just mentioned: "members in double rooms can be temporarily excluded from being the teleporting Anomaly."

Therefore, as someone with a better-established identity, he just needed to coast along.

As for whether they should have another person claim to be the "Peeper" to counter-claim the current one, that was Lu Zihan's responsibility later in the rotation...

Of course, whatever he said would definitely be from the script Ren Yi and Zhang Qiuqiu had written for him.

However, since Player 2 had already been completely misled by Ren Yi, it didn't seem particularly necessary.

For these reasons, Lord Cha's speech was very relaxed.

"Well... I think Player 1 has a point."

Lord Cha's puppet said, puffing out its chest.

"This Anomaly with special abilities is undoubtedly a huge threat for the next two days. I think the Locksmith might need to pay attention and protect the double rooms when appropriate."

Lord Cha subtly categorized Lu Zihan as the "Anomaly with special abilities," then added a few random sentences to make his half-hearted speech seem more complete.

"As for the voting, I am undoubtedly supporting Player 2's decision."

"We can't vote out Player 3 today, but since Player 3 has been cleared, we can choose between the remaining two Lost Souls."

"I'll wait to hear the situation later before choosing between Player 7 or Player 9. Pass."

Lord Cha finished his speech with a serious face. After the candle went out, he puffed out his chest and sat upright—actually, it was because sitting straight made it more comfortable for Lord Cha inside the hat.

Inside the hat, Lord Cha was lying in the puppet's unique, bird-nest-like hairstyle, crossing his legs... don't ask how a Cha crosses its legs.

The light inside the hat was somewhat dim. Lord Cha squinted his eyes, feeling a bit drowsy.

The light source moved, shifting to the front right of the hat—where that girl, Player 11, was sitting.

Yesterday, Lord Cha had stayed with Player 11. Unfortunately, Lord Cha was just a Cha, so they had naturally been perfectly respectful to each other.

But given his gentlemanly behavior, Player 11 should have a pretty good impression of him, right?

Lord Cha thought smugly in his half-asleep state.

Then, Player 11 spoke.

As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice trembled, and she spoke as if on the verge of tears.

"Everyone, Player 12 is that Anomaly!"
