“Oh my, why is this game so brain-taxing?” Ying Lei looked depressed, slowly released Li Xiang, and smiled apologetically, “Sorry, brother! This was all a misunderstanding!”
Li Xiang's face turned beet red. He glared at Ying Lei, rubbed his reddened neck, and remained silent.
Just as Ying Lei was about to get up, a chair suddenly came down, smashing hard on the back of his head.
Immediately, Ying Lei was stunned. A severe dizzy spell hit him, and crimson blood flowed from the back of his head.
This sudden sneak attack left everyone dumbfounded.
Their shocked gazes unanimously fell on Du Wanjun.
No one had expected Du Wanjun to attack Ying Lei!
Yang Feng's lips curved slightly, as if he had long anticipated Du Wanjun's attack on Ying Lei.
He was also increasingly looking forward to the rest of the story.
Gu Qingling was slightly startled. Noticing Du Wanjun about to lift the chair again to strike Ying Lei, her face changed dramatically. She lunged forward, embracing Du Wanjun, tackling her to the ground, and using all her strength to restrain the fiercely resisting Du Wanjun.
Du Wanjun's face was flushed, her eyes fierce, and she roared, “Let go of me! As long as we kill Ying Lei, we can live!”
Gu Qingling gritted her teeth, using all her strength to hold Du Wanjun down, shouting, “Are you crazy! Why are you killing people indiscriminately!”
Du Wanjun looked at Wang Lei with a twisted expression and roared, “Go kill Ying Lei now!”
Wang Lei looked troubled and asked, “I need to know why you think Ying Lei is scum.”
Du Wanjun shouted, “From the start of the game, Ying Lei has been leading the rhythm, repeatedly directing the blame towards Li Xiang. He's doing this on purpose, trying to frame Li Xiang, and also to stall for time!”
Wang Lei showed hesitation. He felt that Du Wanjun's words made sense, but he also felt that Ying Lei didn't seem like scum. He didn't know what to do.
Gu Qingling was slightly startled, as if she had grasped something crucial!
The rhythm Ying Lei led didn't have much of a problem.
First round, three people lied.
Second round, one person lied.
Third round, one person lied, and it was Bao Ning who lied.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off.
This feeling was like it had been specifically arranged; what seemed like Ying Lei leading the rhythm was actually a pre-arranged rhythm, and Ying Lei was just following the track!
Gu Qingling's eyes lit up; she seemed to know the answer!
And just then, Li Xiang suddenly got up, tightly gripping Ying Lei's neck, and sneered, “No wonder you kept staring at me, turns out you wanted me to take the blame.”
“You scum, go to hell!”
Ying Lei's eyes rolled back, the back of his head was incredibly painful, and there was an intense feeling of suffocation, leaving him with no strength to speak or resist. He could only try to pry open Li Xiang's hands.
However, it had no effect.
He vaguely saw his great-grandmother waving to him...
He felt the breath of death, very cold....
He felt some reluctance in his heart.....
Am I going to die now.....
But he could feel his brain seemed to be excited.
He couldn't speak, so he could only complain in his mind: This stupid brain, I'm almost dead, what are you so excited about!
Bang—!!
The sound of a blunt object hitting flesh.
And Ying Lei could feel the hand tightly gripping his neck loosening.
He opened his blurry eyes and saw Gu Qingling trembling as she held a chair!
Gu Qingling saved him, using the chair to knock Li Xiang unconscious.
At this moment, in Ying Lei's heart, Gu Qingling was like a celestial maiden—no! She was the War Goddess!
Ying Lei tremblingly raised his right hand, gave a thumbs-up, and weakly praised, “War Goddess is awesome! You are the MVP of the whole game!”
Wang Lei smiled bitterly at this scene, nodding helplessly, as if acknowledging Ying Lei's words.
Gu Qingling was indeed the MVP of the whole game, but it was just unknown whether she was on the winning side or the losing side!
Thinking of this, Wang Lei was also a little worried, because time was running out, and the game was about to end!
Du Wanjun stood up with a gloomy expression, looked around, and found that the chair she had just been holding had been taken by Gu Qingling. There were no chairs around her. She then saw that Wang Lei still had a weapon in his hand and rebuked:
“You coward, you're not even as good as a woman! Quickly kill Ying Lei, and we'll win!”
Wang Lei sighed, just about to say something, when Gu Qingling spoke, “Everyone shut up, I know who the scum is!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Qingling, anticipating her next words.
But when the answer came out, everyone was somewhat incredulous.
They saw Gu Qingling looking at Yang Feng, her trembling finger pointing at him, and she said in despair, “You are the scum!”
“There's no way out of this game!”
“You want to deliberately toy with us, to make us die in despair!”
Everyone's eyes became dull, filled with despair.
If Yang Feng really was the scum, then this game could not be won at all.
After all, the game rule was, 'If you think he's scum, then kill him,' and only after your chosen target dies can it be determined whether they are scum.
But Yang Feng had a gun, who could kill him?
Thinking of this, a suffocating despair entangled everyone's hearts. The drive they had felt dissipated, and everyone felt incredibly fatigued, as if all their strength had been drained.
Immediately after, they sat on the ground, numb and helpless, not knowing what else they could do, as if they could only wait for death.....
Yang Feng pushed up his glasses with a finger, looked at Gu Qingling, and smiled slightly, “Is this the sixth sense again?”
Gu Qingling curled up helplessly, rolled her eyes, and ignored Yang Feng. Anyway, they were all going to die, so why waste energy talking.
Yang Feng seemed to have sensed her thoughts and smiled, “Everyone, there are many strange things in this world. You need to let your imagination run wild; perhaps there will be an unexpected outcome.”
Gu Qingling thought for a moment, intending to give it a try, what if there was an unexpected outcome?
So, she spoke, “This time it's not the sixth sense, but calculated.”
“In the first round, three people lied, in the second round, one person lied, and in the third round, one person also lied.”
“And Bao Ning is scum, so she lied in all three rounds. In the first round, Li Xiang also lied, so who else lied in the first round?”
“At that time, we all thought there was a troublemaker in the team, but no one noticed that you also introduced yourself in the first round!”
“So, you lied in the first round, and in the next two rounds, you didn't speak, which is why the number of liars returned to normal.”
“Moreover, the game rule states there are two scum in the room, and you are also in the room, within the game's scope.”
“Most importantly, your sins are very obvious: kidnapping seven of us, illegal detention, and murder.”
“Therefore, you are the scum!”
After listening, Yang Feng nodded in satisfaction, clapped softly, and smiled slightly, “Not bad, what you said is very correct. I wonder if you felt a wonderful sensation?”
Gu Qingling frowned, somewhat confused, and shook her head slightly, “I don't understand what you mean.”
Yang Feng was silent for a moment, a little regretful, “It seems the stimulation wasn't enough, but there's still one more chance. Whether you can seize it depends on your fate.”
Suddenly, a piercing siren sounded outside the window.
Wah-er—!!
Wah-er, wah-er—!!
Red and blue police lights flashed outside the window, and the police's voice came through.
“Yang Feng, you are surrounded. Please put down your weapon and stop threatening the hostages.”
Yang Feng showed no sign of panic, glancing at the phone on the table behind him.
'3:46'
Three minutes and forty-six seconds.
According to Yang Feng's estimate, the police would enter the room in three minutes and forty-six seconds.
For Yang Feng, there was still plenty of time. He spread his arms and smiled:
“Congratulations on surviving.”
“The game ends here!”
“As for the judgment of my sins, everyone, don't worry.”
“First, I'll answer the question Ying Lei asked earlier.”
“Why did I go to such lengths to kidnap you all!”
“Because you were once witnesses!”
