"Blizzard Mountain Villa…"

Hearing Fujiwara Chika's exclamation, Amamiya Natsuki pondered for a moment and realized it truly seemed to be the case.

An empty ancient castle.

A raging blizzard.

Players trapped in the ancient castle, isolated and helpless… It fit perfectly, a super standard example.

The so-called Blizzard Mountain Villa is a very common subgenre in detective novels, where a group of unlucky people are trapped in a closed environment, unable to contact the outside world due to irresistible forces or human factors, and then a murder occurs.

For example, an isolated island without transportation.

A villa with roads destroyed by a flash flood.

A hotel where people are not allowed to leave due to epidemic monitoring, and so on.

To this day, there are countless detective novels in the Blizzard Mountain Villa subgenre. Many classic cases are captivating and even admirable, but unfortunately, becoming one of the unlucky people in a Blizzard Mountain Villa is not fun at all.

Other players, hearing Fujiwara Chika's words, quickly caught on.

"Yes, it really is a Blizzard Mountain Villa."

"They said it was a horror game, so how did it suddenly turn into a detective game?"

The atmosphere quickly became tense.

Several lone players, who didn't know each other, cautiously kept their distance.

Anyone who has watched "Detective Conan" knows that in Blizzard Mountain Villa cases, people will definitely die, and the culprit is often someone close by.

At the crucial moment, Fujiwara Chika stepped forward.

"Everyone, don't be like this, we should help each other and clear the game together." The pink-haired girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, her tone sincere. "The game is already very dangerous. If we can't be honest with each other and trust each other, being alone will only be more dangerous."

So dazzling!

Is this the brilliance of humanity's shining stars!

Unfortunately, what you said is meaningless. Knowing that there might be 'werewolves' among them, no one can be honest unless they can prove their identity.

"Everyone, let's display our game panels and see each other's main quests, how about it?"

A strange player suddenly suggested.

"Can't do it." Amamiya Natsuki shook his head. "I tried it just now, the display function of the game panel is sealed, so I can't show it to others."

On the way to the ancient castle, Amamiya Natsuki had tried to view main quests with Kaguya and Chika, but it was impossible.

The player who spoke couldn't help but frown: "…So, it turns out some people's main quests are different from others?"

"Um, I have a way." Takanashi Rikka raised her hand and pulled out a small mirror from her pajama pocket, introducing, "This is a magic mirror I got from a Blind Box a few days ago. It can detect lies, and it's super accurate!"

"Eh, eh?" Fujiwara Chika widened her eyes, looking over in surprise. "Snow White's magic mirror?"

"It's clearly the Queen's magic mirror, what does it have to do with Snow White?" Amamiya Natsuki said with narrowed eyes, "Besides, this magic mirror is too miniature. Is it for practicing finding faults?"

The "magic mirror" in Takanashi Rikka's hand was only half the size of a palm. For anyone with a slightly larger face, it would be difficult to see themselves clearly.

"Take a look."

Takanashi Rikka revealed the attributes of the magic mirror.

Amamiya Natsuki looked over curiously, surprised to find that Rikka wasn't being chuunibyou; it really was a magic mirror.

Item: Magic mirror

Origin: Land of Honesty

Attribute: When you look at yourself in the mirror, you cannot tell a lie.

Note: This is something a certain Gray Witch gained during her travels. She then solidified 'honesty' magic onto the mirror. Every morning, she would wake up and ask the magic mirror, 'Who is the cutest person in the world?'

That's right, it's me!

Whether it's cute or not, narcissism is definitely number one.

"I've tried it, and I really can't lie." Takanashi Rikka looked at the mirror, her cowlick gently swaying. "I like to eat tomatoes the most…"

Under the gaze of all the players, the cowlicked girl's mouth suddenly drooped: "I, I hate eating tomatoes the most!"

"See, that's how it is." Takanashi Rikka raised her right hand, placing it over her eyepatch, her tone serious. "Tomatoes are super scary. All those seeds inside are monster eggs. If you eat them, they'll hatch in your stomach…"

When you dislike something, you can find a million reasons, but your reasons are too far-fetched!

"Rikka-chan, let me try." Fujiwara Chika was eagerly interested.

"Here, for you."

Takanashi Rikka handed over the magic mirror.

Fujiwara Chika took the magic mirror, looked at herself in it, blinked, and then quickly said, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, I hate eating ramen…"

Before she finished speaking, her words suddenly changed: "I love eating ramen!"

"Sure enough, it's true. How could anyone hate something as delicious as ramen?" Fujiwara Chika's eyes sparkled. "Kaguya-chan, you try it."

Shinomiya Kaguya's elegant brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the magic mirror in her hand: "What should I say?"

A question suddenly surfaced in her mind, causing Miss Ice Princess's heart to stir.

This magic mirror could be used to see one's true heart when feeling lost.

"I would never like the boy next to me…"

Shinomiya Kaguya almost blurted out the statement in her heart.

No.

Must hold back.

What if, after saying it, her reflection in the magic mirror didn't deny it?

Wouldn't that be tantamount to a direct confession?

Surrendering and giving up, absolutely not!

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, I like to eat cilantro…"

"No, I don't like cilantro."

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Shinomiya Kaguya in surprise: "Cilantro is so delicious, you actually don't like it?"

"I can't find anything delicious about it at all." Shinomiya Kaguya crossed her right arm over her chest. "I absolutely can't eat it."

"That's a shame, you're missing out on the taste of the human world."

"I don't feel sorry at all."

"…"

"Here you go."

Shinomiya Kaguya handed over the magic mirror.

Amamiya Natsuki took the small round mirror. It looked like an ordinary mirror in every way, with no special features. He quickly said:

"I hate eating cilantro… I love it!"

Shinomiya Kaguya: "…"

For fairness, other players came forward one after another to verify the magic mirror's truth-telling effect.

"I like math class… I hate it."

"I believe the national football team can win… I don't believe it from the bottom of my heart."

"I hate Tifa… Tifa in the 3D area is the best in the world."

"I'm not a loli-con… I really am a loli-con!"

For some reason, some strange questions got mixed into the magic mirror's answers.

"Everyone saw the effect, right?" Fujiwara Chika said, "Everyone, tell your quests to the magic mirror… I'll go first."

"Main Quest: Survive. Sometimes, the one who laughs last is not the winner."

"There's also a strange countdown after that. The time is four hours and twenty-three minutes, decreasing every minute and second."

Fujiwara Chika said the above words to the magic mirror, and the 'Honesty' mirror had no reaction.

Next was Amamiya Natsuki.

"Main Quest: Survive… The countdown is five hours and thirty-four minutes."

Once someone takes the lead, the rest becomes simple.

Other players also stated their main quests.

Shinomiya Kaguya: "Survive… Countdown three hours and fifty-eight minutes."

Takanashi Rikka: "Survive… Countdown is three hours and twenty minutes."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Survive… Countdown three hours and forty minutes."

A moment later.

All players had stated their quests.

The content is simple: survive.

The only difference is that their respective countdowns are not the same.
