Mirror

Yin Ge felt a searing pain tear through her brain, and instinctively, she was about to let out a scream of agony.

But the next moment, the bridesmaid's brain was shredded, and Yin Ge's pressure immediately eased.

The excruciating pain turned into a crushing weight.

It was like a running chainsaw that should have continued churning through her brain after sawing open her skull had instead been switched off and left resting on her head.

To Yin Ge, it felt as though she had been splashed with a bucket of cold water after staying awake for three days and nights. Her whole body was numb, heavy, and cold.

Th-this is... Yin Ge's once-clear and calm mind could no longer even turn over properly, like a rusted machine.

What was Bride doing...

What was Bride's father doing...

And the mother, and the best man...

Yin Ge forced herself to pull herself together and tried to observe everything around her through the bridesmaid's peripheral vision.

The bridesmaid was taking out a small compact mirror to do her makeup, preparing for the upcoming photo shoot.

Makeup?

That meant they would still be able to gather with the best man and the others later. Perfect—she could observe their expressions and demeanor... Yin Ge forced her brain to start working.

However, at that moment, she suddenly saw something strange in the bridesmaid's compact mirror.

The mirror should have reflected the bridesmaid's face, but instead, it showed the best man chatting with the groom's younger sister!

Th-this is... Yin Ge's spirits lifted.

Why could she see the best man in there? Why the best man instead of the groom?

Yet in the very next instant, the groom's image appeared in the compact mirror.

Yin Ge was stunned again.

She tried calling out to the others in her mind, and the mirror began switching through images of them.

Some were eating, some were playing games, and some were chatting...

Other than Bride, Yin Ge could see everyone!

When she thought of Bride's father, the image in the compact mirror suddenly changed.

This was... Bride's parents' room?

And Bride's father was angrily speaking to the invisible Bride before him!

Bride's mother was quietly sobbing at the side.

Afterward, the three of them broke into a fierce argument. The mother even knelt before Bride, seemingly begging her to agree to something.

Yin Ge watched more and more closely, but the next moment, waves of needle-like pain pierced her brain.

Yin Ge's right eye immediately turned bloodshot, faintly showing signs of bleeding.

No, she could not keep watching!

Yin Ge seemed to understand something. She stopped thinking about it and no longer focused her attention on the mirror before her.

She had a premonition that if she kept watching, she would die!

But this act of Peeping had instantly revealed everyone's condition to her.

This abnormality did not match the rules of the Son of Heaven Game, but... I know now. Yin Ge forced herself to calm down.

She stopped looking at the compact mirror through the bridesmaid's eyes and even avoided looking at anything reflective.

Instead, she unfocused her eyes and stopped observing, while inwardly calculating her next move.

Until, at a certain moment, her body relaxed.

Yin Ge knew it was time for everyone to communicate.

"Ahhh!!!"

"Y-you, your eye!!"

"What the hell happened?!"

The others cried out in alarm. The child's body trembled, clearly terrified by Yin Ge's miserable state, yet the child still moved closer to her.

The best man looked worried. "H-how did this happen to you?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

Seeing this, the child tightly gripped the corner of Yin Ge's clothes.

Yin Ge raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

She looked around. After noticing that someone was absent, she frowned slightly and spoke meaningfully. "It was probably the price of using the Law."

"Y-you used the Law? Who did you kill?" The Bride's mother's eyes widened.

Yin Ge did not answer. The others had already caught on and immediately looked around.

"The Bride's father—the Bride's father is gone!" the groom's younger sister cried out.

Everyone had been distracted by Yin Ge's awful condition. Only now did they realize that the Bride's father was gone!

"Why did you kill him?" The groom's younger sister looked at Yin Ge suspiciously.

Yin Ge quickly organized her words in her mind, then spoke calmly:

"From my observations over the past few days, I found that the Bride's father was extremely cold toward the Bride. And during the day, I heard them arguing."

At those words, the Bride's mother's gaze darted away.

Yin Ge caught that immediately and asked, "Tell me, what were you arguing with the Bride about today?"

"I vaguely heard the argument, but I did not catch the details."

"What? You had an argument?" The groom's younger sister looked astonished, clearly knowing nothing about it.

The Bride's mother pressed her lips together, looking nervous. "It had nothing to do with me. It was the Bride's father—he, he wanted to take all of the Bride's betrothal gifts for himself."

Hearing that, the best man could not help asking, "But the Bride's father was not the Killer. Was he the only one who argued with the Bride? What about you? What were you doing?"

"I-I was obviously trying to stop the argument!" The Bride's mother suddenly raised her voice, as if afraid no one would believe her.

Yin Ge spoke again. "Really? Are you sure you had no designs on the Bride's betrothal gifts? That is not what I heard."

The Bride's mother swallowed. "N-no, I really did not. It was the Bride's father. He kept pressuring the Bride. I really was not involved!"

As she spoke, she turned around and accused Yin Ge instead. "You have the nerve to talk? You just killed someone with a Godhead. How are you any different from a useless teammate?"

"I am really unlucky to have run into someone like you!"

Compared to her, Yin Ge remained exceptionally calm. "Even if I had not acted, the Bride's father would not have survived."

"I suspect the Killer killed the Bride's father last night too."

At that, everyone fell silent again.

That speculation was actually possible.

Only the best man glanced at Yin Ge.

The Bride's mother became extremely agitated. "Even so, what makes you think I am the Killer?"

"I never said you were the Killer." Yin Ge frowned. "Everyone here is suspicious. It is only a matter of how suspicious each person is."

"If you want to clear yourself, then honestly explain the matter of the betrothal gifts."

Hearing that, the Bride's mother said nothing more and began thinking seriously instead.

Yin Ge's thoughts were very clear. At present, she and the groom's younger sister were confirmed to possess Godheads.

As for the remaining best man, the Bride's mother, and the child, it was impossible to determine whether they had Godheads.

Although she already had some guesses about who the Killer was, she still needed more information to prove whether those guesses were right or wrong.

Therefore, it was necessary to sort through the events once more.

Soon, the Bride's mother spoke. "During the day, the Bride's parents really did want the Bride's betrothal gifts because they wanted to buy the child a new home."

"But the Bride refused, so the Bride's mother... used death to force her hand. The Bride had no choice but to agree."

At that point, the Bride's mother pressed her lips together. "That is all. I really do have a Godhead."

Yin Ge gave the Bride's mother a thoughtful look. She did not dwell on the matter any longer and instead turned to the child.

"Who did you use Discernment on yesterday?"

The child grabbed Yin Ge's hand and timidly glanced at the best man. "I-I used Discernment on Big Brother."

"He does not have a Godhead!"
