- "Yui-onēsama, your vision was obscured by the handkerchief, so
- you probably didn’t see it, but my eyes did. The hotel flipped over
- with the surrounding ground."
- "Flipped over?"
- We turned back to the original location of the hotel, and found
- that there was a very small gap between the footing of the hotel
- perimeter wall and the ground. According to her, the entire hotel
- was originally located on a piece of something similar to a thick
- board, and in the center of this board, there was a rotation axis
- that ran through the entire thing, and so, the board rotated 180
- degrees like a stage, becoming an empty space. That was the
- mechanism of it. The walls were used to cover the cracks in the
- ground.
- "When the locked room murders occurred in the hotel, Yuionēsama once suspected that the walls might be able to rotate.
- But in fact, the walls weren’t what can rotate, but the entire
- hotel."
- Shinsen unfolded the handkerchief in front of my eyes to
- temporarily hide this mechanism, which is a common blinding
- technique used by magicians and illusionists.
- "To make an object of that mass flip smoothly without making a
- single sound requires a device of unimaginably large scale. Maybe
- the buildings related to the ‘Black Challenge’ are all able to
- instantly disappear from sight through a variety of methods, and
- usually they are hidden, only appearing when the game begins."
- "Then how do you explain the fact that everything around them
- fold up and disappear?"
- "I think they just fold up and disappear too. They are basically
- things like set boards or paper models that can be recycled at any
- time. The ‘Black Challenge’ is essentially a kind of show, so it's not
- surprising that everything is a stage set including the
- background."
- Despite what Kirigiri said, I still found it unbelievable. The Crime
- Victims’ Relief Committee offers all kinds of crimes in all kinds of
- places. Does it all require the large-scale installations and setting a
- backdrop? It feels like no amount of funding would be enough for
- that.
