Bright red baby cat: Stew it!
『 』(empty): Indeed, it's better to confirm the participants' identities.
Noelle: Huh? Shouldn't it be better to stew the fox?
Silver-haired is the best: Poor Miss Fox~
Fallen Saint Black Cat: Your pathetic explanation doesn't hold water.
Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)_
Conan Edogawa: In a world filled with mysteries, the supernatural can exist in almost any place, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact trigger point even with a map.
Conan Edogawa: So the fastest way is to filter participants based on their identities.
Sirin Kaslana: The premise is that the game truly fits the game's logic.
Newbie just filling in the blanks: Yeah, so far I've confirmed the university near the library and the bar in the back alley.
The newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: Among the remaining people, there was one wearing a suit. The fabric wasn't exactly cheap, but it wasn't particularly high-quality either. He paid a lot of attention to his appearance, and several times when he made eye contact with someone, his posture was much straighter than usual.
Newbie here: Great, I found a malfunctioning hand grinder in the coffee shop next to the library.
Kiyohime, playing two roles: Huh?
Naya blinked, looked down, and quickly identified the man among the participants who matched the description.
He was dressed smartly and wore a subtle fake smile, seemingly very confident. But upon closer inspection, it became clear that he lacked confidence and was always intentionally or unintentionally showing off his watch, frequently taking out his brand-new iPhone to check the time.
Silver Hair is the Best: Why use a mobile phone to check the time when you have a watch?
Qipu Guiyue: What's so great about a fruit machine?
Everyone here is my wife: she looks calm and collected, but inside she's panicking like crazy.
The newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: There was another guy who smelled strongly of cigarettes, had phlegm in his throat, carried a flashy lighter, and kept rummaging through his pockets, probably looking for cigarettes.
Newbie here: There aren't any tobacco-related shops nearby, but there is a shopping mall.
Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Only two left...
Miss Fox paused for a moment, unsure how to describe it.
Of the remaining two, one was a cold-faced man who looked mysterious and had a strange aura about him. He was carrying some kind of prop and seemed to know a lot of things.
The last person was ordinary, very ordinary. Apart from being rather calm, he looked like an ordinary person in every way.
For some reason, this most ordinary person has the strongest sense of presence.

Chapter 1115 A Strange and Bizarre Situation
A strong sense of presence.
This kind of thing is not a good thing in the world of mystery and mystery.
They are easily targeted by the supernatural and also vulnerable to human malice.
Seven Returns to the Moon: Protagonist's Halo?
A seventeen-year-old girl: That's a very apt description!
Silver Hair Supreme: So, this person is the protagonist of this game?
Newbie just there to fill a spot: Probably.
After examining the boy who appeared to be the protagonist with her spiritual sense, Miss Fox thought for a moment and decided to give it a try instead.
With a thought, a stand-in: Snowman with a pixelated head!
This startled Iselin, who hid behind Kiyohime.
"You're here again! It's scary that you don't say a word!" Iselin said, clearly annoyed.
Miss Fox shrugged, indicating that she didn't mind.
Besides, Kiyohime didn't react at all, which clearly shows that Iselin is too timid.
With a cute, bouncy sound, I left the room and went downstairs.
Kiyohime glanced at Iselin, then silently shifted her focus to Naya.
◇
Lu Ren is an ordinary person who has survived to this day entirely by luck.
Yes, luck.
Although Lu Ren observed the library very carefully from the beginning, he tried his best not to touch anything, which made him seem very professional.
But Lu Ren knew that when facing those mysterious and elusive creatures, you couldn't simply avoid them by being careful; you had to know their rules in order to survive.
To ensure safety in every exploration before figuring out the rules, only luck will do.
Fortunately, Lu Ren is a lucky man who has survived to this day without losing any limbs.
But this time in the game...
I glanced at the library's now-closed doors, and then at my female college student teammate who was quite frightened.
Lu Ren took a deep breath. This game was strange in every way, completely different from his previous experiences.
"Trying to find a pattern is clearly unrealistic..."
The female college student suddenly looked at him: "You're..."
Plop!
The sound of children's shoes hitting the ground came from upstairs, and the participants instantly tensed up!
Puff puff~
Something is coming, coming down from above, coming down the stairs!
Everyone instinctively held their breath, their eyes fixed on the stairwell. The first floor was completely silent!
Lu Ren secretly glanced at the markers of the game participants, but as at the beginning, there was nothing there.
There were no prompts or rules; it was just a blank page.
Lu Ren felt his head buzzing and was extremely confused about the game.
What on earth is going on...!
puff!
A snow-white doll arm gently rested on Lu Ren's shoulder, bringing a touch of warmth...?
What...thing!?
Lu Ren forcibly suppressed the urge to turn his head to look, stubbornly maintaining his original posture and refusing to feel the sensation on his shoulder.
Calm down, stay calm, don't panic, Lu Ren.
As long as he's not dead, there's always a chance...
The mysterious creature had already arrived behind him, but it didn't kill him immediately. It was clear that it needed him to make a reaction that violated some rule before the mysterious creature would kill him.
It is safe for the time being.
However, it doesn't mean that as long as you don't respond, everything will remain peaceful. Previous teammates had used such clever tricks, which Lu Ren learned from and seized the opportunity to survive.
Therefore, we must start thinking! We must think about how to provide feedback in a way that doesn't violate those unknown rules!
Think quickly, Lu Ren! What are the general rules for libraries?
"Oh!" Miss Fox gently patted Lu Ren.
Lu Ren's eyes widened instantly, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to scream, but he held it back, only letting out a strange sound from his throat.
Library rule: No loud noises!
Lu Ren, suppressing his fear, asked in a low voice, "Is there something you need...?"
Do you know who started this game?
The pixelated doll-like face slowly approached Lu Ren. The flat face wore a silly-looking smile, but Lu Ren didn't find it cute in the slightest.
I was sweating profusely, and my heart was beating at its limit.
Lu Ren's fearful gaze drifted to his teammates this time, but those whose eyes met his took a few steps back.
Lu Ren understood.
He's probably doomed.
puff!
A fist grazed Lu Ren's face and struck Miss Fox hard across the face.
The chubby doll wasn't heavy, so it was sent flying and crashed onto the bookshelf with a thud, knocking several books off.
Things happened so fast that the participants didn't have time to react.
The cold-faced man who had unleashed the punch shouted sharply, "Go! Upstairs!"
Upon hearing this, the stunned participants immediately sprang into action, rushing towards the stairs in a chaotic mix of crawling and running.
At the back of the line, the cold-faced man quickly grabbed Lu Ren, who was still in a daze, and ran off.
"..."
"What are you doing, Ah Hu?" Naya Li picked up the fallen book and put it back.
She floated over to Miss Fox and helped the doll up.
"Hmm..." The pixelated face was deep in thought. "If someone saves you at a crucial moment, does that count as the protagonist's halo?"
"...Probably?" Naya was unsure.
Theoretically speaking, the cold-faced man who decisively punched Miss Fox in the face could also be considered a protagonist.
After all, this person is quite special among the participants.
"It carries a mysterious aura, but it is human."
Miss Fox's spiritual sense was still intensely examining the cold-faced man.
For some reason, although the cold-faced man had a mysterious aura and his physical fitness was much higher than the average person, he did not have any special powers.
They checked it inside and out, but still couldn't find the cause.
"Could it be someone from inside the game's organizers?" Naya Li guessed.
It's possible, but unlikely.
Miss Fox thought about it, but still had no clue.
However, it's not like we haven't discovered anything at all.
"I just got a close look at them and realized that these people weren't brought from another world, but are from this world."
Naya: "This world? So it really is the future that was pulled back to the 19th century!?"
Miss Fox: emmmmmm...
"No, it's not that... It just feels very strange. They are not only people from this world, but also people from the current timeline, not people from the future."
Sirin Kaslana: Like the pig that Qipu caught, she was instilled with memories of the "future"?
Qi Pu Gui Yue: Huh? So it's a pig?
Kiyohime, playing two roles: Hmm?
Newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: No, I can still tell whether their memories have been modified or implanted.
『 』 (empty): Things are getting interesting.
Conan Edogawa: ......
A seventeen-year-old girl: It sounds like something's wrong with the world Kiyohime lives in.
Newbie just there to make up the numbers: I think so too.
This situation is very strange.
The game participants, in terms of their values, perceptions, and temperament, are indeed people who came from the 21st century.
