Hu Li was dead. She should have died long ago.
As a human, she had repeatedly mocked others and harbored resentment ever since the eve of joining the Commission Mission.
As a "ghost," she had concealed the fact that she had once made a deal with a ghost and lingered on until now.
As for accusing Ji Li and digging her own grave, it was impossible to know how much had been her own intention and how much may have come from the ghost's influence.
On the surface, Hu Li had gotten what she deserved. She had brought this upon herself; it had been inevitable.
But at its root, it was still the collapse of an ordinary person driven to the brink by the crushing pressure of reality.
She was not the first person in such a story, nor would she be the last.
Ji Li personally used the Black Wood Cane Xiao Qian Duyue had given him to end the life of one of his own employees, treating her with such contempt that she was no better than grass.
At the same time, it signaled the beginning of the third round.
The moment Hu Li died, Shao Yong'an pulled a short blade from behind his back and began walking toward Wu Hao at a less than swift pace.
The theme of this third round was to gather and deliberate, but at some point, Ji Li and Shao Yong'an had already taken it upon themselves to change the theme into slaughter.
They had done so because, at the moment Shen Qingqing died, they had both realized the truth behind this game.
What came next was very simple. As long as they killed everyone except Ji Li and Shao Yong'an, they were confident they could end this game filled with lies.
