The four men hid inside a house, killed the owner, and then confirmed that there was no danger inside.
They gathered together, and Bai Shuang shared her earlier speculation.
She had to give these people a reasonable explanation.
After all, killing Chen Zhi and killing Ma Rui are two completely different things.
Chen Zhi was a teammate and didn't make any mistakes.
If she killed Chen Zhi, then in the eyes of others, she would kill anyone at any time.
Therefore, she still needs to provide an explanation.
Whether you believe it or not, this is indeed the truth.
I would never kill Chen Zhi; I have no reason to do so.
I'm not crazy, and if I wanted to kill someone, I have plenty of ways to do it; I wouldn't even spare you all."
Yang Hua said directly, "Miss Bai, although I want to believe that you wouldn't do that, there is no evidence whatsoever for what you're saying."
Someone is manipulating all of this behind the scenes? How is that possible? Are there any other people in the Instance besides us?
Besides, who else would use that method to kill someone?
I really can't think of anything, so I would appreciate your guidance.
"It's Ma Rui," Bai Shuang said. "I can confirm it's him; he's not dead!"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, not expecting Bai Shuang to pin all of this on a dead person.
They witnessed Bai Shuang kill Ma Rui using that method, and now they want him to take the blame.
That's really too much; they're treating them like idiots.
Bai Shuang said, "What you see may not be the truth. After all, we are all Ability Users, and none of us know exactly what abilities he has."
Although we all thought he was dead, this might just be what he wanted us to see.
He didn't actually die; he was controlling everything from behind the scenes.
He's so cunning; he started scheming the moment he entered. That's the kind of person who's truly terrifying.
Bai Shuang's words do make some sense, but they are not enough to convince others.
However, Li Qu said, "Miss Bai, I believe you."
Although Li Qu said this, he didn't actually believe it at all. He was just worried that Bai Shuang might kill them all in a fit of rage.
So let's just pretend to believe it.
That crazy woman is capable of anything.
Li Qu gave the other two a wink, and they realized what was going on.
Indeed, they shouldn't argue with a madman.
You're crazy, whatever you say is right.
"Yes, Miss Bai, you're absolutely right, and we believe you."
Bai Shuang looked at the three people, feeling a surge of anger welling up inside her, but she didn't know how to vent it.
These three people clearly didn't believe her, yet they pretended to, which made it impossible for her to explain.
These three people are currently intimidated by her and dare not resist, but when the time comes, they might do something drastic.
But she was truly wronged; she really didn't kill anyone, she did nothing.
She's not that crazy.
Unless this matter is clarified, their team cannot truly cooperate.
She has no choice but to complete this task on her own.
Although she thought the task was simple, it would still be difficult to complete alone.
Bai Shuang felt it was necessary to explain further.
But these people were still the same as before; they agreed with everything she said, which almost drove her crazy.
How did I end up with such a group of teammates?
If these people actually raised questions, she could still try to defend herself, but since they all said they believed her, she was left with no options.
She couldn't even explain herself anymore.
"It really wasn't me, believe it or not!"
"We believe, we really believe!" the three men said.
Bai Shuang felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger; it seemed these people were determined not to believe her.
She now somewhat regrets killing Ma Rui. Although she successfully established her authority, it seems she went a bit too far, causing these people to completely turn against her.
Now that Ma Rui is in the shadows while they are in the open, she is at a disadvantage.
But now it's all too late. These people don't believe her anymore, and her image has completely collapsed.
She could already guess what these people were thinking about her.
But it doesn't matter. As long as these people don't dare to rebel against her, she can still use their strength for the time being.
"What's that?" Li Qu suddenly pointed out the window and whispered, "There's someone there!"
Everyone hurriedly looked over and saw a person standing outside the window.
He was a burly man whose figure seemed familiar to everyone.
"It looks... it looks like Ma Rui!"
"It's him? Could he really still be alive?"
When Bai Shuang saw that figure, she was somewhat excited; she felt that she could finally clear her name.
This also proves that her guess was correct; Ma Rui really did not die.
He was indeed the one who orchestrated all of this.
This is a very cunning and scheming person, a very terrifying person.
But why did he choose to show up on his own initiative?
Shouldn't he have stayed hidden? And how did he know they would be here? Hadn't they already burned his body?
"Be careful," Bai Shuang said, "He must be plotting something!"
The three of them completely believed this. If Ma Rui had really been faking his death, then he was truly terrifying.
Such a deep and calculating mind; every action of such a person is absolutely purposeful.
"So what should we do now?" Li Qu asked Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang didn't answer. Suddenly, she used her mental power to shatter the glass, and the figures outside clearly appeared before their eyes.
It was indeed Ma Rui, who had already passed away.
His face was deathly pale, and his body was covered with countless tiny, dark wormholes. Just looking at his body sent chills down one's spine.
Especially for people with trypophobia, one glance at it will leave a huge psychological scar, and they will never want to look at it a second time.
At that moment, a buzzing sound entered everyone's ears.
The sounds were coming from the wormholes in Ma Rui's body.
It looks like something is trying to crawl out of there.
Finally, they saw it: tiny, black things, as small as mosquitoes, crawling out of Ma Rui's body.
They flapped their wings, making a "buzzing" sound.
They finally saw what the insects that ate Ma Rui and Chen Zhi actually looked like.
Countless insects flew towards them, like a black curtain.
Looking at the dense swarm of insects, everyone felt a chill.
They certainly knew the consequences of being parasitized by these insects.
No one wants to suffer such an outcome.
Everyone looked at Bai Shuang, hoping she could come up with a solution.
After all, these were her insects.
Bai Shuang also frowned deeply, her face looking very pale, because she didn't have any good solutions either.
These insects were similar to hers, yet quite different; hers were nowhere near as good as these.
The difference is too great.
But if she was the owner of these insects, why was the other person so much more powerful than her after obtaining them?
This was unacceptable to her.
Now she finally realized that she had encountered an extremely formidable opponent.
Not only is she cunning, but her methods are just as cruel as hers.
