Reincarnation Paradise-Chapter 936: National Soccer MVP
However, on the first night, nothing happened to Catwoman; instead, Su Xiao was attacked. This left the little detective puzzled, realizing her initial suspicion was wrong. She thought the Boss of National Soccer swapped numbers to stay close to his brothers, so she shifted her suspicion to Catwoman. The little detective was indeed smart, as her suspects were all related to Alice.
The results of the second night were quite interesting. Alice felt her suspicion had been cleared, and the suspicion on the three National Soccer brothers had moved to the back, making her feel safe hiding among them.

Due to personal grudges, Alice chose to give up enjoying the game and focused on killing Su Xiao. She quickly "crippled" the highly skilled little detective's reasoning ability, limiting her to short bursts of reasoning, which only served to mislead others.
After that, Alice entered the rooms of Pipa, Glasses Man, and Second of National Soccer, using force to eject them, making them violate the rules. This was to create confusion. She then killed Catwoman and switched back her number. On the fourth day, she planned to make herself suspicious, luring everyone to verify her. At that point, Alice would be Number 5 (previously Catwoman's number), but to everyone's knowledge, Alice was Number 6. Verifying Number 6 would verify Catwoman.
On the following night, Alice would swap numbers again, becoming the already verified "Number 6," and commit suicide. This would mean "Boss of National Soccer" and Catwoman both died. Since Catwoman would be verified, and she wasn't Alice, the connection between Boss and Catwoman would be broken. Both Numbers 5 and 6 would have been verified, so no one would check them again. Essentially, everyone would verify Catwoman twice, after which Pipa and Glasses Man would become the main suspects.
Alice's plan was sinister. However, the "O+*" clue provided by the Boss of National Soccer was incredibly precise, both avoiding game rules and providing clear information.
In retrospect, the Boss of National Soccer's behaviour led the three brothers to "slack off," avoiding suspicion. The little detective's constant reasoning also diverted attention.
The little detective was too erratic to be replaced. Su Xiao was a target to be killed and couldn't be replaced. Pipa didn't meet Alice's aesthetic standards, so pass. Glasses Man was too mediocre, pass. Catwoman was part of the plan, pass.
The boss of National Soccer was the best choice, as he could influence the opinions of the Second and Third.
From the start, the Boss of National Soccer's remarks were like this:
"Doubting ourselves is risky and may not be effective.""We'll follow the majority opinion.""So we'll win soon?"
In discussions about who was Alice, the disguised Boss said only these three things. Due to the unconscious cover by Second and Third, others didn't notice his few words. Everyone, including Su Xiao, saw the three brothers as a whole, so Boss's few words went unnoticed.
His first statement was to disrupt, to avoid starting with Third and quickly reaching him. The second statement shows the favourable situation for Alice's doppelganger, making the brothers slack off together. The third statement was to mislead, as Alice thought the contractors were doomed, soon ready to use Catwoman.
Looking back, Boss's words were suspicious, but at the time, they were easily overlooked, partly due to the little detective's continuous reasoning.
The truth was clear: Number 5, the Boss of National Soccer, was Alice's disguise.
In the hall, Su Xiao sat on the sofa, receiving a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.
[Game over, the Hunter successfully passed the third game.] [Prompt: The Hunter receives the Pandora's Box.]
A fist-sized square box appeared in Su Xiao's hand, with a button on each of its six sides, and an unknown way to open it.
Pandora's Box
Quality: GoldType: Rare ItemEffect (One-time use): Upon opening, may receive equipment, materials, recovery items, bloodlines, fierce curses (debuffs), undead (debuffs), etc., ranging from white to gold quality.Note: Opening Pandora's Box carries great danger and unpredictability, recommended to open within Reincarnation Paradise.Score: 360 points (Gold item score ranges from 310 to 400 points)Description: Unknown represents opportunity, also danger.Price: 157,000 Paradise Coins
Seeing the attributes of Pandora's Box, Su Xiao's eyes lit up. This item was unique, capable of bestowing rewards or curses, or even summoning powerful undead.
Su Xiao stored the box, planning to open it within Reincarnation Paradise for safety, imagining a scenario where he releases a demon or undead lord, who then realizes they are trapped in Reincarnation Paradise, a hopeless situation for them.
Su Xiao leaned back on the sofa, beside the bewildered Third of National Soccer.
"So Catwoman was Alice, huh? Looks like my guess was right."
Third adjusted his hair, making Su Xiao understand why Alice released him. Third couldn't advance the game, and not being a hindrance was his only contribution. However, this time, his clue about the "broken egg" was crucial.
Weak reasoning didn't mean Third was weak overall; he had other strengths.
Creak—
The upstairs door opened, and Pipa, Glasses Man, and Second of National Soccer walked out.
A white light filled the hall as the Boss of National Soccer was transported back.
"So, did my clue help?"
The boss looked around.
"It was crucial."
"Haha, I knew it."
Boss signalled Second and Third, who quickly gathered. Holding hands, they formed a triangle with Boss in the centre.
"The National Soccer team is here, MVP belongs to us!"
With the game over, the three brothers began to mess around again.
"We were played by Alice," Glasses Man lamented, leaning on the sofa, one lens missing, a remnant from the broken glasses.
"I knew I'm not good at reasoning games," Pipa sighed, chewing on food.
"We underestimated the room number swap. But... why did Alice attack you on the first night?"
The little detective had recovered and looked at Su Xiao, seemingly not ready to let go of the game.
Nine participated in the Castle of Devil Fruits game, and seven survived, a high survival rate compared to past games.
Click, click, click...
The sound of high heels approached. Hearing it, the little detective turned pale, hugging herself instinctively.
The door to Room 5 opened, and Alice's doppelganger, dressed in a white dress, stepped out. According to her plan, she should have been the first to rush out on the fourth day to conceal her presence in Room 5, but it was unnecessary now.
As Alice exited, the room door slowly closed, showing a room like a storm had hit. A rope hung from the ceiling, suspending Catwoman, her neck bruised and lifeless for some time.
Catwoman died due to a lack of strength and bad luck.
Only those who survive hardships can be called strong. The moment you aim to become strong, you must be ready to die at any time.
