BGM - Resurrected ReplayerErika didn't seem to lose her cool, maintaining her possible inner frustration at how this was starting to turn up to be. At this rate, she could be cornered if all of these earlier said Red Truths would further contradict her later theories. It all had to make sense, she was defending her master, the witch Bernkastel, after all, so it had to be made possible for a human to do so, in this case the culprit would be Niv. "Of course, I wouldn't be caught empty-handed in this case," Erika smiled innocently, as if she were silently teasing him,"There is a solution to this strange arrangement of events that led to this. Let's see. When I put the seals on, it was at a time between when the six people entered and when the murders happened through the strange "bomb" method. However, even if it's in Red through my familiar's confirmation, there is one contradiction which would had been noticed if he did say it in red himself. When he said "there was no need to enter the chapel," I can definitely say that *the culprit did need to enter the chapel early on, and set up the so-called bombs for the indirect murders, and finished doing so and leaving before I would even put up the seals.* That would be the case if our culprit is a human." As soon as Erika stopped her new theory that would go in with Niv's theory, Dlanor added in,"Allow me to speak. Let it be said that *the time of events is the CULPRIT preparing the murders with the bombs, left sometime before the six victims entered the chapel, and right after they entered, the detective sealed the doors and windows. Sometime after the seals being placed, the murders occurred, then the culprit rushed back to see if they are dead, breaking the seals. That is the timeline of events that is the most probable. If there is any obstruction to this timeline, then that is a VIOLATION to Knox's 9th.*" It was pretty clear if Crimson or Niv made one wrong move that would violate the Knox's Decalogue, Dlanor was sure to make her first attacking move, especially when she had a broadsword made out of the energy of the Red Truth in her hands. "Oh, there's more to this too! The reason for why the chapel was sealed with people inside, it's to see if someone from the inside was the culprit, but since they clearly died at the same time, that scenario ceases to exist," Erika said, adding her reason to it. From this point, she was starting to clean up all of the possible contradictions in her Red Truths, and wondered what their next move against her would be.
Well.... Niv thought, unable to think of anything that could top that.
