After killing Yu Longguo, Lin Yu felt a sense of relief.

This most troublesome "Soldier"... was finally dealt with by himself.

And so easily too!

But Lin Yu didn't completely let his guard down.

Because Xia Yue was also a troublesome character.

Lin Yu didn't let his guard down just because he had killed Xia Yue last time.

After all, last time, he was killed by Yu Longguo, and this time, Yu Longguo didn't die by his hand.

This time facing Xia Yue, without the terrain advantage and Xia Yue's natural underestimation of him...

Killing this seemingly frail girl wouldn't be easy either.

After all, she had a knife in her hand.

And Lin Yu's gun was out of bullets.

However...

Lin Yu still aimed the muzzle at Xia Yue.

Just as "Teacher" Xu Xiumei had said in the previous round – a gun barrel could calm people down.

Xia Yue, who had already drawn her knife and was preparing to charge, had stopped her advance after the gunshot and seeing Yu Longguo's lifeless corpse.

After being aimed at by Lin Yu, she didn't dare to move at all.

But...

Lin Yu delayed firing.

Although Lin Yu himself knew he wasn't firing because he had no bullets, Xia Yue didn't know this.

Time ticked by, and under the pressure of "death," Xia Yue couldn't help but speak first.

"Why was it me who made the deductions and judgments just now... and you shot the 'Soldier' first?" Xia Yue asked.

Hearing this, Lin Yu naturally replied, "Oh, that's because I felt he might have been persuaded by you."

"His profession, 'Soldier,' and his real-life experiences determined that... as long as he 'might' be hostile towards me, the priority of killing him between you two would be infinitely high."

"Even if I was 100% sure you were hostile towards me, I would still kill him first," Lin Yu said calmly.

"So I'm being underestimated," Xia Yue frowned. "And aren't you indirectly admitting it... you're definitely not the 'Administrator'."

"I am indeed not the 'Administrator'," Lin Yu nodded in acknowledgment.

"Tsk, I've been outplayed," Xia Yue sighed. "But why haven't you killed me yet?"

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Could it be that this gun of yours... only has one bullet?"

Lin Yu chuckled upon hearing Xia Yue's words.

She finally...

Brought the conversation around to this topic.

He was relieved.

Although Xia Yue had never suspected that the gun only had one bullet before, because Lin Yu hadn't "deceived" Xia Yue and made her reach this conclusion through his own "deception," it was merely Xia Yue's misjudgment. It couldn't allow Lin Yu to activate the "Deceiver" ability to make the fact that there was a second bullet in the gun come true.

"It's only natural for a revolver to have a limited number of bullets, isn't it?" Lin Yu said, chuckling. "Do you want to bet... bet that my gun is empty?"

Xia Yue stared at Lin Yu, gripping her dagger tightly.

"Honestly, because you kept delaying firing, I've started to suspect... if you really only have one bullet."

"You have absolutely no reason to let me live until now..."

"You hit Yu Longguo's vital spot with a casual shot just now, proving your marksmanship is good, and you don't need to aim too cautiously."

"Even based on 'curiosity' about how I saw through your disguise, I've already explained all the reasons to you..."

Xia Yue said this and took a step forward.

"So... I now suspect that your gun only has one bullet."

Lin Yu looked at the approaching Xia Yue and smiled.

His smile was confident and composed.

"Your deduction is indeed brilliant... Xia Yue, you've truly exceeded my expectations!"

This beautiful, frail-looking girl was truly the smartest one in this game!

But... it was a pity.

Lin Yu still aimed his gun at Xia Yue, calmly stating, "But unfortunately, your deduction was only half correct."

"This gun doesn't have many bullets, but... the number isn't one, it's two."

"I was just debating whether to save this last bullet for you or the 'Otaku'!"

Lin Yu said coldly.

He didn't need to kill the "Otaku" from his own faction to clear the game.

But Xia Yue, naturally, couldn't grasp this.

In her subconscious... Lin Yu had gone to such lengths to make them kill each other, so the victory condition was implicitly to kill everyone else.

This also fit her perception that Lin Yu had "more advantages" than any other participant.

The victory conditions for the strong were always harder, weren't they?

But even facing Lin Yu's words, Xia Yue still took another step forward.

She met Lin Yu's eyes.

"I don't believe you—your pistol must be some kind of 'Item'... Items like that either have a full magazine or just one bullet..."

"Two bullets, that number is just too strange!"

Xia Yue spoke again.

But...

The young man's eyes before her held a playful and calm demeanor, as if he were looking at a dead person.

And there was a strange, chilling aura about him.

But it had come to this, whether the other party had bullets or not...

She could only bet that he didn't!

Xia Yue raised the dagger in her hand!

"Bang!"

The next moment, a gunshot rang out, the muzzle of the revolver blooming with a magnificent, firework-like flame.

Xia Yue suddenly felt time slow for an instant—she saw a metal bullet shoot out from the fire, heading straight for her.

"So there really was a second shot..."

This was the last thought that flashed through Xia Yue's mind.

Then...

The bullet diagonally pierced her upper abdomen, and a few seconds of heavy bleeding stole Xia Yue's consciousness.

She fell heavily to the ground, her dagger clattering to the side.

Lin Yu walked over, lowered his gun, and looked down at Xia Yue, whose pupils had already dilated, sighing.

"Even though you said you didn't believe it... you actually believed I had a second shot."

"But, I can't blame you."

"After all, my acting was just... too good."

Lin Yu put away his pistol, saying with emotion.

His tone of voice just now, and even his expression and demeanor at the moment of firing, were entirely within Lin Yu's "performance state."

Anyone would have believed he fired with the conviction of "certain kill," rather than bluffing.

So...

The moment Xia Yue doubted and proactively brought up the "number of bullets"...

She was already doomed.

A few seconds later, Xia Yue on the ground completely lost her breath.

"Veterinarian" has died.

This was also the second time Lin Yu had personally killed Xia Yue.

However, this time...

[Werewolf Faction Wiped Out!]

[Game "Who is the Outsider?" -- Ended!]

Lin Yu gently closed his eyes.

The next moment, he fell into the endless [Void].
