Rule Disruption!

As she spoke, the bride's father quickly pointed at the groom as well.

The groom's sister followed suit, raising her hand to point at the groom.

"Y-you..." The groom's lips trembled, but he still pointed at the bride's mother. "She's the Killer! Women are disasters, disasters!"

"I'm the Son of Heaven, not the Killer! Not the Killer!"

Under such circumstances, any defense seemed especially feeble.

The bride standing at the center continued urging them on, her voice growing louder each time.

It was as if she would go berserk if they failed to identify the Killer.

Under that pressure, the best man and the child both raised their hands and pointed at the groom.

Yin Ge slowly raised her hand and pointed at the groom as well.

She had no choice. Yin Ge still had doubts deep down, but it seemed that her choice no longer mattered.

Most of them had identified the groom. The outcome was already decided.

And after the last person—Yin Ge—pointed out the Killer, the bride's voice abruptly stopped.

The groom flew into a rage. "Idiots! You bunch of idiots! How dare you accuse me? I'm the Son of Heaven! I'm the Son of Heaven!"

"You've been tricked! That bitch tricked all of you! Fuck, what a bunch of brain-dead morons! Damn it! Damn it!"

The groom's curses rang on without end.

The bride's mother stared at the groom, excitement in her voice. "At a time like this, you still won't admit it? You're obviously the Killer!"

Hearing that, the groom glared furiously at the bride's mother. Just as he was about to start cursing, the bloodstained bride suddenly moved.

The moment the bride moved, everyone fell silent and instinctively held their breath.

The bride moved straight toward the groom!

Her body was walking, yet it made no sound at all, like an image projected by a projector. Yet the blood on her body and the patterns on her clothes proved that she was real.

No one dared even breathe, all of them staring fixedly at the bride's movements.

No one was more desperate than the groom. He watched helplessly as the bride approached. He wanted to run, wanted to fall, but his body seemed trapped by some Law, like an insect struggling in amber.

"Get away! Don't come closer! Don't come closer!"

As the bride drew nearer and nearer, the fear in the groom's voice became increasingly obvious.

Finally, the bride stood before the groom.

The overwhelming sight utterly broke him. He no longer had the strength to curse or scream, and the living room was left with only his helpless sobbing.

"It wasn't me. It really wasn't me. I'm the Son of Heaven."

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. Please, spare me..."

Yet the bride made no visible move. She merely stepped forward and directly merged into the groom's body.

The next moment, as if erased by an eraser, the groom slowly vanished together with the bloodstained bride.

Everyone could clearly see the groom's terror and the way he wildly flailed his arms, yet not a single sound came out.

This horrifying scene was like a giant hand suddenly gripping everyone's heart.

No one spoke, but their pupils had contracted violently. Some had nearly forgotten how to breathe.

Yin Ge bit her lip hard and could not help closing her eyes. Yet the next second, she opened them again. After taking a deep breath, her gaze became calm.

The bride had vanished, as though nothing had happened.

Yin Ge shifted her gaze from the corpse and swept her eyes across the crowd, taking in every expression.

Fear, confusion, lingering dread...

If the bride had brought bloodshed, slaughter, and death, it might have provoked anger and resistance in a few people.

But this kind of strangeness, uncertainty, and silence brought fear to everyone's heart.

Wait... When Yin Ge's gaze met someone's eyes, she suddenly paused, then quickly looked away.

The bride's mother noticed Yin Ge's gaze and hurriedly spoke. "The K-Killer is dead. The game is over, right?"

Her voice still trembled, carrying a nearly imperceptible trace of hope.

But on closer listening, that trace of hope had clearly turned into despair amid the tremor.

"Hmph!" The bride's father forcibly snorted. "I-it must be over. The groom actually laid hands on his own wife. He deserved to die!"

"Y-yes, you're right. He deserved to die. He deserved to die." The groom's sister stared blankly ahead, repeatedly echoing everyone's words, as though doing so could lessen her guilt.

The child had only just broken free from his fear when tears immediately began to fall. "D-dead... Someone died! Mom, I want Mom!"

But no one paid him any attention.

However, what was unsettling was that neither the best man nor Yin Ge spoke for a long while.

Yin Ge sighed. "The game... continues?"

The best man raised his head and glanced at Yin Ge. There was no joy in his eyes, only confusion and bewilderment.

The groom was dead.

Yin Ge's heart sank to rock bottom, only for her to forcibly pull it back with reason and calmness.

Then, amid darkness and nothingness, an indescribable sensation suddenly appeared in her mind, as though guiding her to focus her attention.

Godhead?

Yin Ge froze, then concentrated. Information about the Godhead immediately appeared in her mind.

Only, this information seemed somewhat different from before.

Or perhaps it could not be called information.

It was an image, a space, a scene.

The feeling was indescribable, like a dream, like a stream of binary digits inside a computer, and like the void after general anesthesia...

As all these things converged, Yin Ge sensed a patch of nothingness.

Not darkness, but nothingness.

Within that nothingness floated tiny white specks of light. One of them had already been dyed red.

Personhood!

Or rather, these were the other people who, like Yin Ge, had been drawn into this incident!

"This feeling..."

Yin Ge stared at the red-stained speck of light.

She did not spend much time considering how she had "sensed" these things.

Instead, she considered the information she had gained after sensing those specks.

That red-stained speck of light was the best man!

The Killer had acted. The best man was dead. It was that simple.

After identifying the groom, we fell asleep. Then it became the time for those with Godheads to act, and also the time for the Killer to act... Yin Ge frowned in thought.

She needed to summarize the rules and gather information before she could make a judgment.

And now, combined with some details she had noticed, she could be almost certain that the best man possessed a Godhead, while the Killer was someone else.

And the Killer must have known how important the best man was.

The best man knew the most about the Son of Heaven Game among them. His death meant that much crucial information would be lost.

"The best man is dead... Then should I... Mm, he can't die."

Her consciousness focused on the red-stained white speck. Yin Ge pondered it repeatedly before reaching a conclusion.

She had to save him!

How?

With a single thought from Yin Ge, a powerful Law descended from the void and washed over the red-stained speck of light.

White and red collided violently, like two enormous stars crashing together—soundless, yet magnificent.

But in an instant, the Law Yin Ge had invoked crushed straight through it, while the Law on the other side fell silent.

The red on the speck rapidly faded. Moments later, it shone as brightly as before, just like the other specks.

Yin Ge, meanwhile, felt that she had lost some kind of Law.

But knowing the effects of the [Court Minister] Godhead, she did not mind.

This was [Rule Disruption]!
