Peeping and Suspicion

"Phew..."

After [Rule Disruption], everything in her mind fell silent once more, swallowed by darkness.

The bridesmaid had already fallen asleep, soft breaths escaping her nose and mouth.

But Yin Ge, trapped inside the bridesmaid's body, did not sleep. Her eyes were closed as thoughts churned through her mind.

She had to save the best man from being killed tonight.

When life and death were at stake, most people were selfish. If they had a way to save someone, many would probably use it on themselves.

But in the long run, saving one's own people was also saving oneself.

So Yin Ge still chose to save the best man.

The best man's knowledge of the Son of Heaven Game was the most accurate.

At the same time, Yin Ge knew that the best man, a [Feudal Lord], had not used the Partition Law last night. Otherwise, he would naturally have been invincible and would not have needed Yin Ge to save him.

She clearly remembered that on her first night, she had not entered that place where she could sense the Law of [Rule Disruption].

That was because the best man had already used the Law of Partition to protect himself, which was why he had not died.

And since the best man had not died, Yin Ge had no chance to use [Rule Disruption].

But tonight, Yin Ge received news of the best man's death and used [Rule Disruption] to save him.

That at least proved that the best man had given the Law of Partition to someone else, and the Killer had taken the opportunity to strike at him.

After sorting out those two matters, Yin Ge focused her thoughts on the Son of Heaven Godhead.

Other than the bride's mother, both the child and the groom claimed to be the Son of Heaven.

Logically speaking, the groom had died and the game had not ended, so the child had to be the Killer.

But the groom's bizarre antics were truly difficult to explain.

The bride's mother was most likely a Commoner Divinity. If the groom really was the Son of Heaven, why had he said that the bride's mother had no Godhead?

What if the groom had another identity and deliberately claimed to be the Son of Heaven in order to frame the bride's mother, with whom he had a conflict?

That seemed to make sense too.

What a mess. It was all too messy!

It was impossible to sort things out by analyzing Godhead information alone. There was still far too little information.

The main information and clues were still hidden within the events themselves.

Looks like I'll have to observe what happens during the day first, see who seems suspicious, and then analyze it through discussion... It felt as though a huge stone weighed on Yin Ge's heart.

In that torment, time passed exceptionally slowly.

Yin Ge did not know when she fell asleep.

Not until sunlight streamed through the window did the bridesmaid finally open her eyes, rousing Yin Ge as well.

What time is it...? Yin Ge looked at the clock again. Just as she had previously concluded, the body would be controlled at nine in the morning.

The bridesmaid changed into a fresh set of clothes, walked to the window, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Yin Ge's gaze lingered on the mirror, but she noticed nothing unusual.

Yet soon, the bridesmaid seemed to see something. Her gaze shifted from the mirror to the window, and she stared motionlessly at the building opposite.

Yin Ge's gaze followed hers away from the mirror and toward the building across the way.

Suddenly, Yin Ge saw the groom.

At that moment, the groom in the neighboring room was fully reflected into Yin Ge's view by the sunlight bouncing off the windows of the building opposite.

Yin Ge's heart sank.

The groom still appeared, which meant that even after he had been identified and died yesterday, it did not affect the people during the day.

That was a good thing. It meant that, aside from the bride, the other people who had appeared in this event would not vanish, which would help them assess the situation.

And yet, the bridesmaid was not at all surprised by this.

She crossed her arms and stared intently at the groom across the way.

Could the groom be having an affair with the bridesmaid...? Ripples spread through Yin Ge's heart.

After staring at the groom for so long, it was hard to say there was nothing going on between them.

However, Yin Ge also knew that, at the very least, the bridesmaid could not be the one who killed the bride. After all, she possessed the Court Minister Godhead.

But as she watched, Yin Ge discovered that the groom was not looking at the bridesmaid. He seemed to be holding someone in his arms...

The bride?

Yin Ge seemed to understand.

This room had been assigned to her by the bride, but why had the bride wanted her to stay here?

Yin Ge rapidly thought and reasoned, but every answer she came up with seemed strange.

Either the bride had a voyeuristic streak and wanted to spy on the bridesmaid's every move.

Or the bride was sick and wanted the bridesmaid to watch her every move.

Of course, there was also a very slight chance that the bride and the bridesmaid were a couple, so the bride was afraid the bridesmaid would get jealous and deliberately let her watch to show that nothing had happened between her and the groom.

But the latter possibility was extremely unlikely.

The most likely explanation was the bride's voyeurism and her desire for control.

One possibility arising from that was that the bride suspected her groom might be having an affair with the bridesmaid.

But no matter what, the bride had arranged for the bridesmaid to stay in this room for a reason.

Before Yin Ge could figure it out, however, the bridesmaid turned away from the window and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Soon, the bridesmaid emerged from the bathroom. At the corner, a small figure darted out from the direction of the bedroom.

Fortunately, the bridesmaid stopped in time. She crouched down and asked gently, "Running so fast? Did you sneak your sister's phone again?"

The child stuck out their tongue and hid the bride's phone behind their back before acting cute. "Don't tell my sister, okay?"

The bridesmaid laughed and lightly tapped the child's nose. "Got it, got it."

Having received her promise, the child happily ran toward their parents' room.

"Hey, wait." The bridesmaid pulled the child back. "Tell me, did your sister and brother-in-law make up after their argument yesterday?"

She cares that much about the bride and groom's relationship...? Yin Ge's heart sank to the bottom.

The child thought for a moment, then nodded. "They slept together and played together. They probably made up."

At that, the bridesmaid nodded slightly and said nothing more as she headed toward the room.

Almost nothing unusual happened that morning. Then, in the afternoon, the groom's younger sister showed up uninvited.

She linked arms with the bridesmaid and swayed from side to side, bringing up switching rooms again. "Sis, switch rooms with me, please?"

Unable to withstand the groom's younger sister's relentless pestering, the bridesmaid glanced back at the room's window. "Fine, we'll switch. I'll pack my things first."

That behavior immediately put Yin Ge on alert.

Why had the bridesmaid previously refused so firmly to switch rooms, only to suddenly agree? Had she realized the bride was spying on her?

And the groom's younger sister—why did she still insist on switching rooms after being refused before? Was it really only because the Wi-Fi signal was stronger?

Before Yin Ge could figure out those two questions, the groom's younger sister happily dragged over the suitcase she had packed in advance.

But just as the groom's younger sister was about to enter the room, the bride grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?!" The bride's voice was so loud that it immediately drew everyone over.

"Si-sister-in-law, we agreed to switch rooms." The groom's younger sister seemed frightened by the bride's tone, her voice filled with fear and grievance.

The bridesmaid hurriedly came out to explain. "It's just a room. If she wants to switch, let her switch."

At that, the bride frowned and shot the bridesmaid a sharp look. "No!"

That look stung the bridesmaid, leaving her unable to speak for a moment.

"Why not?" The groom's younger sister grew angry and blurted out,

" Sister-in-law, you don't want me staying next to you because you're afraid I'll find out about you and another man, so you're feeling guilty, aren't you?!"
