Ants on the Same Rope

The child Yin Ge pointed at shook his head and instantly choked up. "Big sister..."

"Hmph." Bride's mother snorted coldly. "Why are you still calling her that? She's already willing to do anything to stay alive."

"I've never seen such a heartless woman. That child has been following you the whole time, and you're still biting back at him. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Yin Ge frowned. "It seems you really aren't very smart."

At those words, Bride's mother's expression changed instantly. "Who isn't smart?"

Yin Ge ignored her and explained directly, "Don't forget, the child currently has the only [Son of Heaven] Godhead, and on the first day, he used Discernment Law on me and said I had a Godhead."

At that, Yin Ge looked at Bride's mother. "If I remember correctly, you were very certain earlier that the child was the Son of Heaven."

"Following that line of reasoning, if you acknowledge that the child is the Son of Heaven, then you must acknowledge that I possess a Godhead."

"If you think I'm the Killer, then why did the Son of Heaven you identified say I have a Godhead?"

"So you have no grounds to accuse me."

In just a few sentences, Yin Ge pointed out the flaw in Bride's mother's reasoning.

After speaking, she turned to the child. "I don't mean anything else by it. I'm just making a normal deduction."

The child sniffled and nodded obediently. "I know, big sister. I believe you. You aren't a bad person."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

After thinking it over a little, they knew Yin Ge was right.

If Yin Ge was the Killer, then the child could not be the Son of Heaven and was instead very likely the Killer.

But if they thought about it that way, was Yin Ge the Killer too? Was the child the Killer too?

Could there be two Killers?

No one was sure anymore.

Sensing the danger, the groom's younger sister began grasping at straws. "Th-then what if there's some Godhead Law that can disrupt the Son of Heaven's Discernment Law?"

Everyone had their doubts and turned to look at the best man, who had the most information.

The best man shook his head slightly. "I've never heard of such a Godhead Law."

The hope in the groom's younger sister's eyes instantly dimmed.

The situation was now very clear.

Yin Ge and the child were tied together. To accuse Yin Ge, they would have to get past the child first.

But the child was very likely the Son of Heaven, while only the groom's younger sister had clashed with Bride during the incident and had a motive to kill her.

Moreover, the groom's younger sister's Godhead was still unclear.

Overall, the groom's younger sister was the most suspicious and the most likely to be identified as the Killer.

This was within Yin Ge's expectations.

She knew very well that the affair between the bridesmaid and the groom was fake, but only she knew that.

If she simply told everyone, they might not believe her anyway.

So dwelling on the incident itself would only waste time. It was more efficient to quickly narrow down the suspects involved, then analyze and verify them through their Godheads.

And judging by the Godheads, she was bound to the Son of Heaven's Godhead. Anyone who wanted to accuse her would definitely have reservations.

But was the groom's younger sister really the Killer?

Yin Ge could not be certain.

After all, everyone was nervous and had not yet had the chance to discuss what happened last night.

Thinking of this, she looked at the best man and said, "No one died last night."

"That's right!" the Bride's father said with a puzzled expression. "Didn't they say the Killer would kill someone at night?"

Only then did the best man let out a breath of relief. "One less death means one more chance for us to win."

"It was most likely the Feudal Lord and Court Minister Godheads at work."

As he spoke, the best man looked at Yin Ge. "You said you're a Court Minister. Did you use your Law yesterday?"

Yin Ge stared straight at the best man and nodded. "I saved you."

At that, a faint smile appeared on the best man's face. "Last night, I used Partition Law to bring the child into my territory, because his Discernment Law might expose the Killer."

Hearing that, Yin Ge relaxed.

Because she knew the best man would no longer accuse her of being the Killer.

But the others had yet to react.

The groom's younger sister, the most suspicious person, seemed to have grabbed onto a lifeline as she seized the best man's arm.

"The bridesmaid is lying! How could she possibly save you? The Killer would definitely want to kill the Son of Heaven most!"

"The Son of Heaven is the greatest threat to the Killer! How could the Killer possibly kill you?"

"Yes, I think so too!" the Bride's mother echoed.

Although the Bride's father said nothing, he nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with that argument.

Even the child scratched his head, clearly having been confused by the groom's younger sister's words.

The best man looked at them as if they were idiots and let out a deep sigh. "Whether the Killer targeted me or the child, the bridesmaid is most likely not the Killer."

Yin Ge picked up where he left off. "If the Killer targeted the best man, then unless he used Partition Law to bring himself into his own territory, only a Court Minister could save him."

"And he just said that he used Partition Law on the child. The only person who could save him was me."

"So I most likely have the Court Minister Godhead. I'm a good person."

"Of course, there's a second possibility. The Killer targeted the child."

"And the best man used Partition Law to save the child, meaning the child is most likely the Son of Heaven."

"Then the Son of Heaven already said he used Discernment Law on me and found that I have a divine status."

"So no matter which possibility it is, I can't be the Killer."

"That's right. That's how it is." The best man nodded without hesitation.

The Bride's father wore a pained expression. "I feel like I'm growing a brain."

The Bride's mother, who had been attacking Yin Ge the whole time, stood quietly to the side, unable to say anything.

The child kept nodding. "Big sister, yesterday I used Discernment Law on the bride's father. He has a divine status."

The Bride's father said, "Haha, that's right! What an adorable child. So smart."

Yin Ge nodded. "Good. We can confirm another person has a Godhead."

The best man reached out and patted the child's head. "I'll buy you candy when we get out."

The child held the best man's hand with his left and Yin Ge's with his right, saying happily, "The Bride's father has a Godhead, and big sister isn't the Killer. We all have Godheads."

They had effectively become ants on the same rope.

This also meant that the child and the Bride's father most likely would not accuse Yin Ge of being the Killer, while the best man was supporting her as well.

Only then, once she could more or less guarantee she would not die tonight, did Yin Ge let out a slight breath of relief.

Realizing this, the other suspect, the groom's younger sister, collapsed onto the ground. "No, you... you're ganging up on me and bullying me."

"I didn't do anything. Why are you treating me like this?"

"I have the [Grand Physician] Godhead. I have a Godhead. I'm a good person!"

"Grand Physician? You're a Grand Physician?" The best man furrowed his brows and walked over to the groom's younger sister. "Do you know what your Law is?"

"Death Immunity! Don't accuse me. I-I really am a good person," the groom's younger sister blurted out without hesitation.

Hearing this, the best man turned to Yin Ge.

Before Yin Ge could speak, the groom's father asked coldly, "Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"What good would saying it earlier do? I only have one chance at Death Immunity. What if the Killer kills me twice in a row?" the groom's younger sister shouted, her emotions extremely unstable.

"If you really are a Grand Physician..." The best man took a deep breath. "Then the Killer can only be one of those two."

His gaze fell on the Bride's mother and the Bride's father.

That gaze was overwhelmingly oppressive. The Bride's mother looked terrified, while the Bride's father looked furious.
