Game and Choice

Everyone's bodies were frozen in place again.

Bride approached from afar and stopped in the center.

Even though they had grown somewhat used to Bride, several timid people still could not help closing their eyes.

"Who was it!"

"Who was it!!"

"Who was it!!!"

The questions were incomparably clear, as if Bride were speaking directly into everyone's ears.

"The Killer was the groom's younger sister!" Bride's mother spoke first, pointing at the groom's younger sister without hesitation.

Immediately afterward, Bride's father pointed at the groom's younger sister as well, his face taut.

Under such circumstances, even with the best man's promise, the groom's younger sister was still so frightened that tears streamed down her face.

The best man closed his eyes. "I'll definitely use the Partition Law on you tonight. I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he pointed at the groom's younger sister too.

The child followed closely behind and softly said sorry as well.

Perhaps because they had learned from the previous round, everyone made their accusations especially quickly this time.

No matter what, the outcome would not change.

Yin Ge pointed at the groom's younger sister too.

After she made her choice, Bride let out an excited, strange cry from her throat and moved toward the groom's younger sister.

The groom's younger sister's voice was full of despair. "Don't come over! Don't come over! Please, let me go!"

But in the blink of an eye, Bride suddenly appeared before her.

The abrupt visual shock made the groom's younger sister scream and immediately shut her eyes.

Everyone else stared wide-eyed at the scene. No one knew how Bride had instantly crossed such a great distance from her starting position to appear before the groom's younger sister.

But that was not important. What most of them wanted to see was Bride killing the groom's younger sister and then announcing that the game was over.

Yin Ge stared intently at the groom's younger sister, who had been scared out of her wits.

As Bride drew closer, the groom's younger sister suddenly took a deep breath and bit her lower lip hard, as if she had made some kind of decision.

Was she going to use a Law...? Yin Ge narrowed her eyes.

Bride continued forward. Half her body had already merged into the groom's younger sister's body, and the latter's figure gradually became transparent.

Everyone gasped sharply, while the best man closed his eyes in distress.

But the next moment, Bride stopped moving for some reason. Then she slowly retreated and vanished from where she stood.

Everything had happened too suddenly. The instant Bride disappeared, everyone's bodies went limp and returned to normal.

The groom's younger sister collapsed onto the floor, panting heavily. She had clearly been terrified.

She had not died!

That meant she had used the [Death Immunity] Law.

She had a Godhead!

The instant she realized this, familiar drowsiness washed over her.

Yin Ge knew she was about to lose control of her body.

With the last of her awareness, she looked at the child, silently reminding him about the new target they had discussed for tonight's investigation.

The child's gaze was resolute as he nodded slightly.

After seeing that, drowsiness swept over her, and Yin Ge closed her eyes.

Just before she completely lost consciousness, she went over all the information in her mind once more.

The groom was not Killer. The groom's younger sister was not Killer. The best man was most likely not Killer. She was definitely not Killer.

Then who exactly was Killer?

In the void, six white points of light floated in midair. Not a single one had been dyed red.

Killer had not acted, so no one had died?

No, that could not be.

Killer could not possibly refrain from acting.

The final day was almost here. If Killer did nothing, they could be exposed at any moment. It was far too dangerous.

She thought for a moment. Could she not see any red points because she no longer had the Law that could save people?

Yes, that was very likely.

With a slight sense of awareness, Yin Ge knew she only had one Law left.

Should she use Rule Disruption now?

Yin Ge considered it again and again before finally reaching a conclusion.

She could not use Rule Disruption.

If she could see a red-dyed point of light now, she might choose one among the white points and use Rule Disruption.

But with Killer's actions unknown, rashly using Rule Disruption could easily overlap with the person Killer killed. It could also harm an innocent person by mistake.

Yes, she could not use Rule Disruption!

The moment that thought appeared in her mind, the white points of light receded like a tide, and the entire world fell silent once again.

The bridesmaid had already fallen asleep, but Yin Ge was wide awake.

Once dawn came and the bridesmaid opened her eyes again, it would be December 9th.

They only had one final day and night left.

Thoughts churned in Yin Ge's mind before eventually returning to the starting point—the incident and the Godhead.

As for the incident, the groom, the groom's younger sister, and the bridesmaid had all clashed with the Bride, yet none of the three was Killer.

Among those remaining, the Bride's father was extremely indifferent toward the Bride. The Bride's mother was rather protective of her. The Bride's younger brother was close to her. The best man might have had private contact with her.

Based on everything they had experienced so far, each of these people had something strange about them, but none seemed to have a motive for murder.

It seemed she would need to observe carefully on the final day... Yin Ge's thoughts gradually settled, only for another guess to emerge. Who would Killer kill tonight!?

One face after another flashed through her mind, until the bridesmaid's face finally remained.

What if the Killer chose to kill her tonight?

A faint ripple stirred in Yin Ge's heart.

The best man had said he would use the Partition Law on the groom's younger sister.

That meant Yin Ge herself was very likely the Killer's target tonight.

But Yin Ge was not overly nervous. Her thoughts remained calm.

She did not know whether the best man had understood what she meant, but she was not afraid now.

Death was not frightening.

Still, she believed the best man would make his choice.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a click, and glaring lights illuminated the entire room.

The body controlled by the bridesmaid opened its eyes.

When Yin Ge saw the clock on the wall again, she finally let out a breath of relief.

A new day had begun, which also meant she had not been killed.

I'm still alive... Yin Ge steadied herself inwardly, knowing that the best man had indeed understood her meaning.

But she quickly thought of another question: how had yesterday's daytime events been resolved?

Bride and bridesmaid had fallen out so badly, yet they were still staying in this room?

However, Yin Ge had not experienced the events of yesterday, so naturally she did not know how they had been handled in the end.

At that moment, the bridesmaid got up as usual and stood beside the mirror, her gaze falling on the building across from them.

Even Yin Ge was curious about the groom and Bride's situation, so she followed the bridesmaid's gaze.

After things had gone so badly yesterday, what were Bride and the groom doing now?

Could their actions reveal any clues?

With that in mind, Yin Ge focused all her attention on the reflective window.

The bridesmaid stared at the window, trying to see something within it.

Yin Ge did the same.

The window clearly reflected the situation inside Bride's room as well.

A blank space? Yin Ge frowned.

Yet she sensed that the bridesmaid was still staring, and that she lightly moved her lips.

"You disappoint me..."

The bridesmaid's voice was extremely soft, faint as a mosquito's buzz.

But Yin Ge could naturally hear it.

No, it wasn't blank. Bride should be across the way... Yin Ge realized.

Bride did not appear during the daytime scenes, which was why Yin Ge could not see her when the bridesmaid and Bride looked at each other through that window.

Had these two best friends completely fallen out...? Yin Ge wondered inwardly.

However, at that moment, Yin Ge suddenly felt an inexplicable discomfort.

It came from her eyes!

The discomfort in her eyes came from the window across from them!

What is that!! Yin Ge wanted to cry out, but immediately felt as though something had drilled into her eyes.

The strange sensation was like a large, slimy, slick tongue wriggling through the gap between her eye sockets and eyeballs.

Then her brain sank heavily.

Yin Ge's thoughts immediately became incomparably chaotic, as though she had stayed awake for three days and three nights straight.

What is this?!

Yin Ge was shocked, but the next instant, everything before her went black.

An endless torrent of information became a waterfall crashing through her mind.

This invisible information was like one bubble after another. Each bubble contained scenes, people, and things unfamiliar to Yin Ge.

"No!!!"

Yin Ge wanted to clutch her head and scream, but trapped inside the bridesmaid's body, she could not even move a finger.

"Pfft..."

With a soft sound, the capillaries in the bridesmaid's left eye socket ruptured, turning into a bloody tear that ran down and dripped onto the floor.

And more and more blood continued to flow.

The bridesmaid was no longer staring at the window. Instead, she turned and entered the living room.

"The bridesmaid is especially beautiful today!"

"Big sister, big sister, want some candy?"

"This girl is so poised and graceful, better than my own daughter, haha."

"They're getting married soon. What is that brat still doing?"

Everyone in the living room was talking, discussing the approaching wedding.

Bang!!!

Another cracking sound rang out.

The bridesmaid's entire left eye suddenly burst apart, becoming a mixture of blood and flesh that flowed down her face.

Yet the others around her still looked festive and cheerful, as though they could not see anything wrong with the bridesmaid.

The bridesmaid wore a smile as she chatted with people all the way through. Sometimes, when gossip or something funny came up, she would even cover her mouth and giggle.

Only, her eye socket had long since become a bloody, mangled hollow, while a mixture of white and red liquid and solid matter flowed from her nose.

The eyeball in her socket had vanished, yet a blood vessel and nerve connected to it still dangled limply from the hollow, hanging over her lower eye socket and dripping blood.

Looking into that pitch-black hollow, one could vaguely see pale, pulsating cranial nerves, as well as the brain that had just been blown to pieces and reduced to brain matter.
