In the solemn atmosphere of the forbidden book library, a quiet silence pervaded.
Everyone fell silent, leaving only Rem's painful panting echoing in the air, gradually filling the entire forbidden book library.
Finally, it was Ram who spoke first.
"Why is Lady Beatrice so certain that the Curse User is in the village?" Ram asked softly. "People who can frequently come into contact with Rem are not limited to the people that are living in the village."
Ram's words made everyone present focus their gaze on one person's body.
That person was Fang Li, who was leaning against the door.
And it was only natural that they did so.
Who else could frequently come into contact with Rem every day besides the village she had been visiting recently? It could only be the people in this mansion.
However, who in this mansion would curse Rem?
Undoubtedly, it could only be Fang Li.
It was precisely because of this that Ram directly approached Fang Li, and her emotions were so stirred up.
So, it was a reasonable suspicion.
However, this very reasonable suspicion was directly denied by Beatrice with a disdainful expression.
"That man wouldn't use such complicated means," Beatrice said with extreme disdain. "If he truly wanted to kill someone, Betty would rather believe that he would charge up and slash him or her directly, which would definitely be more accurate than any method."
The overly convincing reason left Ram speechless.
Although she didn't know about Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, with her keen sense of smell, Ram could still perceive the aura emanating from Fang Li's body that could prick the skin like a sharp blade.
That sharp aura, like a blade, was definitely not something a Curse User who quietly cursed from the shadows could possess.
"I agree with that sentiment as well," Pack chimed in. "Although I don't know much about Fang Li, he doesn't seem like the type to hide in the shadows and curse his targets. Conversely, he seems like the terrifying character who can plunge his targets into a sea of blood."
"Don't be so rude, Pack," Emilia warned Pack, then looked at Fang Li with a firm nod, saying, "I also believe it wasn't Fang Li who did it."
In other words, in this mansion, besides Ram, Emilia, Beatrice, and Pack all stood on Fang Li's side.
And Roswaal shared the same thoughts as well.
According to the display in the Gospel Book, Fang Li is a person who "can kill everything."
If this "can kill everything" refers to the Curse Technique, then it would be too downgrading.
A mere Curse Technique would never receive such an evaluation.
"Let's not dwell on the matter of the Curse User for now," Roswaal glanced at Rem lying in Ram's arms and said to Beatrice, "Is it impossible to help Rem remove the curse?"
In fact, besides Beatrice, Roswaal also knew how to remove Curse Techniques.
After all, Roswaal was the strongest magician in the Kingdom of Lugnica.
If even a Curse Technique couldn't be lifted, then he wouldn't deserve such an evaluation.
As the Great Spirit who controls the fire mana, Pack also knows how to remove curses.
However, when it comes to removing Curse Techniques, no one in this mansion can match Beatrice.
Because Curse Techniques are generally Yin Attribute.
And Beatrice is the embodiment of Yin Attribute Magic reaching its peak.
If Pack is the Great Spirit controlling the mana of fire, then Beatrice is equivalent to the Great Spirit controlling the mana of Yin.
Therefore, when it comes to removing curses, no one can compare to her.
This also implies one thing.
If even Beatrice cannot touch the Curse Technique on Rem's body, then no one else can remove it either.
And indeed, this is the case.
"If we were to remove them one by one, by the time we're done, this maid's corpse would have already turned cold," Beatrice said, crossing her arms and sounding uninterested. "Once the Curse Technique is activated, it cannot be stopped unless we can immediately identify the Curse User and defeat them."
"Immediately?" Emilia noticed the keyword and quickly asked, "How much time do we have to solve this problem?"
"At most, one night," Beatrice stated, revealing Rem's date of death. "By the time the sun rises tomorrow, this maid will have succumbed to the immense curse, both physically and mentally."
This harsh reality lay before everyone.
"Tomorrow..." Ram's body began to tremble.
"And it's already dark outside, isn't it?" Pack said helplessly. "Time is running out."
"With the current situation, trying to find an unknown Curse User and defeat them in just one night is extremely difficult," Roswaal shook his head and asked Beatrice, "Is there no other way?"
Beatrice fell silent.
After a while, she lifted her gaze and looked at Fang Li.
Sensing Beatrice's gaze, Fang Li's expression remained unchanged as he spoke.
"Do you want me to make a move?"
Upon hearing Fang Li's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
Did Fang Li's statement imply that he had a way to save Rem?
As this thought arose, Pack, sitting on Emilia's shoulder, slapped his palm forcefully.
"That's right," Pack said. "Fang Li mentioned that he can kill anything, including Curse Techniques, right?"
"Indeed," Beatrice said somewhat displeased. "That man has more than once destroyed my magic, so he should be able to destroy the curse within the maid's body as well."
"Hohou..." Roswaal's eyes flashed slightly as he chuckled. "So he's capable of this as well?"
"Really?" Emilia looked at Fang Li with hope in her eyes.
Finally, even Ram reached out, grabbing Fang Li's clothes, biting her lip, and making a plea.
"Please, please save Ram's Little Sister, save Rem."
Hearing this, Fang Li turned his gaze to Rem's body.
"Ha... Ha… Ha..."
Rem continued to breathe heavily, her face filled with pain.
At that moment, Fang Li slowly crouched down, reaching out a hand toward Rem's.
That hand was extremely cold.
Feeling the icy touch, Fang Li closed his eyes.
The next moment, Fang Li slowly opened his eyes.
His ice-blue Mystic Eyes appeared.
"That is..."
Emilia, Roswaal, Beatrice, Ram, and Pack all saw Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
However, Fang Li paid no attention to their reactions.
He only lowered his head, his ice-blue Mystic Eyes gazing at the girl lying in front of him.
Cracks of Death Lines appeared on her body's surface.
