Someone Died!

The True Martial Emperor rarely suffered from insomnia.

That was the only upside to doing manual labor; his body was strong, and he easily fell asleep when tired at night.

But last night, he'd kept his eyes open, unable to sleep, his mind constantly replaying scenarios of what if the werewolf came to his thatched hut and they fought, wondering if he could win!

The True Martial Emperor wasn't foolish; he'd already observed secretly. Aside from Old Du Liu and Pikachu, he doubted anyone else present could defeat him.

He also thought that Old Du Liu was so upright, a highly respected senior, and even had a sense of humor, so he shouldn't be the werewolf.

Pikachu also seemed straightforward, not like a werewolf!

After thinking this through, although he was still too scared to extinguish his oil lamp, he felt a little bit of relief.

He finally fell asleep at 3 AM.

Around 5 AM, his worker's biological clock habitually woke him up.

Normally, he couldn't get up on workdays, but when he didn't have to work, he woke up incredibly early!

Compared to usual, his spirits weren't good. Logically, he didn't have to work and should have slept more.

But the True Martial Emperor couldn't sleep!

So he got up, wanting to go for a run, which was also his habit.

But then he thought...

At this hour, what if the werewolf hadn't returned to its room yet, and he ran into it? Wouldn't that be the end of him?

After realizing this, the True Martial Emperor went back to his floor mat and lay down!

The True Martial Emperor's physique made sleeping on the small wooden bed feel incredibly cramped, so he had pulled the straw and bedding directly under the bed; he had slept on the floor yesterday!

He endured until 7 AM, seeing that the sky outside the window had completely brightened.

He finally couldn't resist, putting on his shorts and a tight white tank top.

Although a bit timid, he still pushed open the door and went out.

Opening the door, he spread his arms and took a deep breath of the morning air.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the air was excellent, mixed with the scent of dew, which immediately made the True Martial Emperor feel much better.

"Roar! Today I'm running 10 kilometers!"

He started running as he spoke.

But he hadn't run far before he was stunned by the scene before him!

Around a thatched hut, which was now missing its door, there was blood everywhere. Inside, a person was standing, examining a corpse within the room.

"This... this... it's the werewolf!!!"

Although scared, the True Martial Emperor couldn't help but let out a loud shout: "Ahhhhhh!!! The werewolf killed someone!!!"

"Everyone, come quickly!!!"

His loud voice startled a flock of birds from the surrounding trees, like a great bell being struck heavily in the village.

The True Martial Emperor actually wanted to run, but he was afraid the werewolf would take the opportunity to escape and not admit it later. So, he stood there trembling, staring at the somewhat dim thatched hut and the person inside!

Finally, the person heard the True Martial Emperor's voice and walked out of the thatched hut.

It turned out to be the Ferryman, dressed in sportswear and looking very refined!

He glanced at the True Martial Emperor, his eyes showing no particular expression. He touched his nose and said faintly, "Someone died last night."

It was as if he was stating a fact.

But the True Martial Emperor was not so calm. He looked at the tragic corpse inside the thatched hut and immediately roared at him angrily: "You werewolf, so well-dressed, I never expected your methods to be so cruel!!!"

"I'm not afraid of you. Don't think about running. When everyone gets here, we'll subdue you together, and you'll definitely be eliminated today!!!"

The village wasn't large, and at this time, several people arrived one after another, having heard the commotion.

Conan was the first to arrive, followed by Cthulhu.

After that, Pikachu also arrived, looking listless with an expression of impatience.

But upon seeing the pool of blood on the ground inside the small thatched hut and Boss Qian's tragic death, he immediately perked up and glared at the Ferryman with hatred, shouting: "Damn it, you werewolf, you're too brutal!!!"

"Don't think about running, let's all catch him together!!!"

Conan rolled his eyes at the True Martial Emperor and Pikachu, thinking these two lacked intelligence. Before the Ferryman could explain, he spoke up to clarify: "Everyone, calm down."

"If the Ferryman were the werewolf, why would he stay here and let everyone catch him red-handed?"

"I think it's a misunderstanding. Everyone should listen to what the Ferryman has to say."

The Ferryman looked at Conan, touched his nose, and smiled, "It seems there are still some people who understand reason."

"I came out for a morning run and discovered Boss Qian's body, so I came to take a look."

Hearing this, the True Martial Emperor scratched his head and suddenly felt like what the two of them said made sense!

It was like that.

If he had killed someone, he would definitely be afraid of being seen and would have run away long ago!

After figuring it out, he said with a bit of embarrassment, "Sorry, Ferryman. You look cultured, don't hold it against a rough person like me."

"You must be a good person. I misunderstood you."

"But who did this! The method is too cruel!!!" His voice was loud and filled with obvious anger, "And the Witch, why didn't she save them!!!"

Yes, just outside the thatched hut, one could see Boss Qian's miserable and unsightly corpse, and blood everywhere.

Pikachu narrowed her eyes. She had always been prejudiced against hypocritical people like the Ferryman and subconsciously disliked him. She couldn't help but say, "Maybe he deliberately didn't leave, just to make everyone think he's a good person!"

Although Pikachu said this, everyone still didn't press the issue and continued to question the Ferryman.

After all, what Pikachu said was just a guess, not solid evidence that could definitively convict someone.

The Ferryman, looking like a manager but speaking in a friendly tone, said, "Everyone, since you're all here, let's call over those who aren't here yet and confront them face-to-face. Maybe we'll gain something!"

Following the Ferryman's words, the very enthusiastic True Martial Emperor felt that he had wronged the Ferryman earlier and was a bit embarrassed. He quickly volunteered.

"I'll go call everyone!"

Without waiting for the others present to say more, he ran off to call people.

Although Pikachu was tall and strong, she felt a chill in her heart looking at the corpse and ultimately didn't enter the house.

Cthulhu was similar; his face turned pale, and he clutched his stomach, seemingly on the verge of vomiting.

Conan walked into the house and looked at Boss Qian's corpse, thinking, "His entire spine is broken. This is too brutal. It seems the person who did this has a rather gloomy personality."

The Ferryman didn't look back and said faintly, "You're still suspecting Siba Jungler."

Conan adjusted his glasses frame, "He's always been the biggest suspect."

"Of course, I don't think highly of you either. I always feel like you're making yourself seem exceptionally innocent, but in reality, you're just a Werewolf trying to stir up trouble."

Ferryman: "Likewise. Speaking of gloomy and arrogant, but completely unsupported by others, you have anger. It's normal for your actions to be a bit ruthless."

"However, Siba Jungler is still the biggest suspect. We agree on that."

As the Ferryman said this, he remembered the scene from last night. He glanced at his score, which was less than 50, and a hint of playfulness arose in his heart. He wanted to truly compete with Siba Jungler.

He could tell that Siba Jungler was definitely not that simple!

At least, he was smarter than this Conan!

Conan adjusted his glasses frame, and the lenses flashed with a white light. "I hope we're on the same side."

At this moment, except for Yimo.

Supreme One, Naughty Cat, and Dieyu also arrived one after another.

Supreme One looked dispirited, nowhere near as lively as yesterday. Naughty Cat, seeing the blood from afar, was so scared it hid in Dieyu's arms.

Dieyu pulled Naughty Cat and moved a little further away.

Those who hadn't arrived yet were the Ordinary Girl Village Chief, Yimo, and Old Du Liu.

Conan thought.

Could it be that more than one person died tonight...?

However, his thoughts were indeed confirmed.

True Martial Emperor's loud voice, filled with immense rage, startled the birds that had been flying for a long time and had just found a branch to land on!

"F*** his grandma!!!"

"Who is that idiot Witch? Not only did she not save them, but she also poisoned one of them to death!!!"
