Well, what if
Erika and Bern believe in Shkanon? I think some of their suspicions could actually arise from this possibility, but there's no evidence one way or the other that Bern, Lambda, or Erika believes or doesn't believe in Shkanon. They don't ever really seem to address it until Erika gets desperate against Beatrice.

Nobody knows. It's obvious from the narration that Erika doesn't intend to be trapped in that room. And it's obvious there is an "Erika" body of some sort that eventually enters the room Battler is in, so "Erika" isn't anyone stuck in that room, whoever they may be. She asks that Battler exclude Kinzo from the definition of "all other persons," so what Battler says should at the very least not actually mean
everyone, unless he was bluffing and Kinzo's body really
was in that room. But that's not relevant.
One suggestion is that if Erika has no body, it doesn't matter where she is. But we know that if Erika doesn't exist, "Erika" still does, so that isn't very profitable. I think it's more likely that what Battler acknowledged was that, discounting Kinzo and anyone obviously already stated or depicted to be outside the room, "all other persons" were inside.
