So she stood there dumbfounded, not uttering a word.
"Silver doped memory."
Philip picked up the memory he had just kicked away and muttered, "No wonder it's so powerful, it's a high-level memory."
"Give it back to me!" Kurumi Nanba, who had been standing there in a daze, was filled with resentment when she saw that the alcohol memory she had been longing for was in Philip's hands. She shouted and rushed towards him.
"Let's forget about it!" Shotaro immediately stepped forward to stop her and patiently explained.
"We're here to save you."
“If you use it, you will die,” Philip said quietly from the side.
"Just like Fujiwara Hotaru."
He added.
Kurumi Nanba was taken aback by what she heard.
"How...how did you know?" Kurumi Nanba asked in surprise.
"Last night, the two of you had an argument over Kagano Sora. Afterwards, you two met again by chance in the bathroom, which may have led to another argument."
Philip recounted.
"She used the memory to turn into a monster, intending to kill you."
"But the monster collapsed for some reason, and Fujiwara also lost her life."
"So you stole the memory."
"Is that so?" Philip asked.
"Yes...yes." Kurumi Nanba hadn't expected Philip's recap to be so accurate.
She felt as if she were back in that terrifying moment from last night.
In front of her, Fujii transformed into a giant onion-shaped silver dopant and slowly approached her.
She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the terrifying giant hybrid approached her.
Suddenly, the hybrid's eyes turned red, and its entire body turned red as well.
Then, it wobbled backward and fell into the bathtub with a splash.
The next moment, Kurumi Nanba saw the naked corpse of Hotaru Ariji.
Suddenly, the alcohol memory device next to Fujii glowed, and Nanba Kurumi also reacted.
Her face seemed to have mutated, with a ring-eye-like pattern appearing.
Then, as if by some strange twist of fate, she picked up the alcohol memory.
......
"What does it matter?" she immediately retorted loudly.
"I almost lost my life!"
Her words were tantamount to an endorsement of Philip's reasoning.
"I knew it!" Shotaro exclaimed upon hearing this.
“Your reasoning has once again brilliantly solved the mystery, Philip.”
"Yes, this kind of truth is truly unusual."
Philip crossed his arms, lowered his head, and slowly analyzed, "There isn't just one person with the alcohol adulterant." As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head.
His eyes are as bright as a torch.
"You mean there's more than one monster?" Kurumi Nanba asked incredulously.
“Yes.” Philip nodded, his eyes fixed intently on the two women before him.
"Namba Kurumi, you can still be considered as having failed."
"But all four bride candidates had transformed into monsters."
As he spoke, he pressed the alcohol memory button.
【ALCOHOL!】
(Alcohol!)
As the memory was activated, signs of mutation appeared on Kurumi Nanba's face, especially a pattern resembling the Sharingan.
"What? What is this?" Kurumi Nanba was immediately terrified.
Just then, another masked person, posing as Kanna Kubokura, walked over.
Her body also reacted to the activation of the memory, and it was quite obvious...
It has used memory.
“Kanna also used the memory, but you’ve completely forgotten about it,” Philip said slowly. “It says it doesn’t remember, and that’s not a lie. I guess the case went something like this.”
"Alcohol is a very dangerous memory. Although it is powerful, it can cause unconsciousness or even death if the body is not incompatible with it."
“At the banquet, Fujii and Zaizen Reki had an argument.”
"Afterwards, she wanted to get revenge on him."
"But Zaizen Reki had the memory core, so Fujii was almost killed in the process."
"But it was Zaizen Riku who lost his life."
"The toxins in alcohol were incompatible with her constitution, and she died from poisoning as a result."
Based on his reasoning, Philip could reasonably imagine the scene at that time:
Similar to the situation faced by Kurumi Namba in the bathroom.
After Zaizen Ryū's death, Arito Hotaru saw the alcohol memory next to her body.
She reacted instantly, and signs of change appeared on her face, especially a pattern resembling the shape of a ring eye.
Then, as if by some strange twist of fate, she picked up the alcohol memory and activated it.
She thus transformed into a giant, onion-shaped white impurity.
"What is this?" Fujii screamed wildly after transforming, "It feels so good!"
Then, she brought up the unconscious Zaizen Reki and screamed, "If you dare to be so arrogant and threaten me again?"
As she spoke, she crushed Caiqian Li's head.
Blood instantly stained the vast snowfield red...
“So the alcohol adulterant we’re fighting is actually Fujii,” Philip explained.
"That woman has a rather fierce personality."
"This is also why the scene gave the impression that a dopant had killed Zaizen Reki."
"Perhaps her physical condition is more suitable for the use of alcohol memory?"
"She did not lose her memory because of this."
"Unfortunately, her second transformation took place in the bathroom, where the blood flow was too fast, resulting in adverse consequences."
"You Tengying also died from poisoning."
“According to you, if it weren’t for that woman in black killing the woman in the kimono,” Kurumi Nanba said, still shaken.
“That’s right,” Shotaro replied, adjusting his hat. “Someone died in this case, but no one committed the murder.”
"All the dead died because of the hybrid hybrids," he emphasized solemnly.
“What I’m more concerned about is the manner in which the victims died in both cases,” Philip continued.
"The only thing they had in common was that both of them had dazed expressions when they died, as if they were drunk."

"Therefore, I carefully re-examined the characteristics of alcohol memory and came to a conclusion."
"The cause of their deaths was poisoning caused by the potent toxins produced by the memory cells."
"And Zaizen Riku's external injuries occurred after his death."
"Why did this happen to the four of us?" Nanba Kurumi asked after Philip's analysis.
"It must be human experimentation," Philip said quietly.
Kurumi Nanba was immediately taken aback.
“Using the customs of this village, we’re using the wealth of the rich as bait to lure you in as sacrifices,” Philip explained.
“A malicious third party is manipulating everything in the shadows.”
Shotaro Sato continued:
"This Gaia Memory is an old version that has been discarded by the museum. Only people who have a special device carved into their bodies to allow the memory to be inserted can use it."
"Since all four of you have interfaces for alcohol memory, it can only mean that someone did something without your knowledge."
Kurumi Nanba stared at Shotaro Hidari in disbelief, too shocked to speak:
