Identification

Everyone saw what was happening, but no one could do anything!

Another gust of cold wind swept through. The groom's sister's sobs mixed once more with the screams of the bride's mother and the child.

Realizing she could speak again, Yin Ge swallowed.

She clearly remembered what the bride had just said.

Who was it?!

The bride was asking who the Killer was!

Realizing this, Yin Ge immediately looked at the clock. The hour hand pointed at "8."

It was eight o'clock at night.

Their bodies had been controlled at nine in the morning, returned to normal at six in the evening, and the bride had appeared at eight at night.

After briefly running through this information in her mind, she shouted at everyone, "Stop making noise! The bride wants an answer from us. She's asking who the Killer is!"

But most of them had been frightened senseless by the bride. How could they possibly listen to Yin Ge?

Yin Ge had no choice but to raise her voice again. "Anyone who wants to die can keep crying!"

As soon as she said that, the bride's mother and the groom's sister covered their mouths. Everyone else looked at Yin Ge in horror.

Yin Ge quickly repeated herself. "The bride is asking us who the Killer is!"

"H-how could that be? Isn't there still time?" The groom's sister's pupils widened, her eyes bloodshot.

"Yeah, didn't you say there was still time? Why did the bride suddenly appear?"

Hearing that, the bride's mother immediately turned on Yin Ge. "You! It was you! You told us there was still time! This is all your fault!"

Her words instantly ignited everyone else's fury. Aside from the best man and the child, everyone glared at Yin Ge with resentment.

The child sobbed as he clutched the hem of Yin Ge's clothes.

Yin Ge's mind raced.

How could this be?

Why would the bride give them only one day to find the Killer?

What could they possibly do in one day? That wasn't right!

Just as Yin Ge was thinking, the best man suddenly shouted, "I remember! I remember now!"

"We're supposed to find a Killer every day! We're not supposed to identify the Killer on the final day!"

"Every day?" The bride's father was frantic. "Are you kidding me? What if we pick the wrong one? This game doesn't want us to survive!"

"No, this is our chance!" the best man said again. "Think about it. There are still three days left, which means we still have three chances to find the Killer."

"If we waited until the last day to identify the Killer, we'd only have one chance. So... so this is actually good for us!"

The bride's mother asked in a shrill voice, "T-then what happens if we identify the wrong Killer?"

The best man pressed his lips tightly together. "I don't know. I've never read anything similar."

In other words, everything was unknown... Yin Ge gritted her teeth. "Isn't the time too short? Based on only what happened during the day, who could possibly determine who the Killer is?"

"Even if we can't be sure, we still have to pick someone! Otherwise, who knows what will happen?" the groom's sister said fearfully.

The bride's father spoke in despair. "Best man, why didn't you tell us after we were dead? If you'd said it earlier, we'd have had some time to discuss it. Now the fire's at our feet. What are we supposed to do?"

The best man gritted his teeth. "I only learned about the Son of Heaven Game. I've never played it. I had no idea how these steps were carried out, much less that the bride would come straight here! Can you blame me?"

That was understandable.

After all, in a place like this, everyone was facing a life-or-death crisis. Their nerves were indeed stretched to the limit, making it easy to forget or confuse things.

"Enough!" Terror filled the groom's face as he demanded furiously, "Damn it, tell me first. What happens to the person chosen as the Killer?"

He was utterly uneasy, because he was currently the most suspicious person.

The best man's lips moved. "The person chosen as the Killer will die, whether or not they're the real Killer."

At those words, everyone's pupils trembled. Tension and fear crawled into their hearts, wiping out all reason.

"Die? I don't want to die! Groom, he's the Killer!" The bride's mother squeezed her eyes shut, panicked beyond measure.

The groom instantly raised his voice. "I'm not the Killer! You bitch, all you know how to do is talk nonsense. I think you should be the first one to die!"

The bride's mother shouted, "If I die, I'll drag you down with me first!"

The groom opened his mouth, but did not dare say anything else. The living room fell silent.

The bride stood in the center, seemingly waiting for an answer.

After a long while, the bride's father finally asked the most crucial question. "Then who do we identify?"

After saying that, he stared fixedly at the groom, as if he had already decided that the groom was the Killer.

Noticing this, the groom panicked and snapped viciously, "I'm the Son of Heaven! You can't identify me!"

The bride's mother hurriedly said, "You're definitely not the Son of Heaven. You kept saying you used Discernment and saw that I had no Godhead. That's impossible. You're lying!"

"That's right! It's you!" the bride's father said viciously. "You couldn't stand being cheated on, so you harmed the bride. It was you! It was you!"

His tone was incomparably resolute.

The groom's sister also spoke tremblingly. "I-I don't know, but since everyone says it's you, then I-I think it's you too. There's no one else but you."

"Unless... unless another Commoner Divinity appears."

Hearing that, the groom grew even angrier. "Idiots! You're all idiots! Whether there's a second Commoner or not, I'm still the Son of Heaven!"

Yin Ge frowned.

Strange. The groom's way of thinking was far too strange.

What the groom's sister had just said was actually sound logic.

The groom claimed to have used Discernment to identify the bride's mother as the Killer, yet the bride's mother had admitted to having a Commoner Divinity.

That made the groom the most suspicious person.

But if a second Commoner appeared, his suspicion would indeed plummet.

If the groom had truly used Discernment to identify the bride's mother as the Killer, then that meant one of the others was hiding a Commoner Divinity.

In that situation, if he wanted to survive and reduce suspicion, shouldn't the groom's instinctive reaction have been to search among the remaining people for the true Commoner?

But he had not done that. Instead, it was as if he had tacitly assumed that no second Commoner would appear among them.

Yin Ge thought back again. Earlier, when she had tried to confirm whether there was a second Commoner, the groom had not shown any urgency to find one either.

Combined with what had happened before, the groom's identity was indeed full of doubts.

As Yin Ge pondered, the bride standing in the center seemed to lose patience. Her voice grew louder and louder.

"Who is it?!"

"Who is it?!?"

"Who is it?!?!!"

The shrillness of her voice made everyone cover their ears.

The best man spoke again. "We can't delay any longer. If this continues, the bride will only grow more impatient!"

"What if she kills all of us if we don't give her an answer?"

Yin Ge quickly asked, "Can there only be one identified Killer?"

"If three of us point to the groom, three point to the bride's mother, and one points to themselves, would that mean there are two Killers?"

At those words, the bride's mother objected. "The Killer is right in front of us, so why identify me? You're deliberately targeting me!"

Before Yin Ge could speak, the groom flew into a rage. "Pah! Why should you identify me?!"

Yin Ge could not be bothered with either of them and stared straight at the best man.

The best man immediately understood Yin Ge's intention and answered at once, "No. You can't identify yourself!"

In other words, they had to send one person to die now!

Yin Ge closed her eyes, tormented inside.

Realizing things were going badly, the groom tried to explain again. "I really am the Son of Heaven! I just couldn't stand that bitch, so I said she was the Killer!"

"Men are all scum. Stop trying to deceive us. You're the Killer!" The bride's mother's voice was vicious. Then she raised her hand and pointed directly at the groom.

"I identify you as the Killer!"
