The Final Choice

The words were like thunder from a clear sky, instantly setting everyone off.

The bride's mother and the groom's sister stared at the best man in disbelief, quickly backing away from him.

Shock first crossed the best man's face, followed by sudden realization. "It was you. So it was you!"

He pointed at the child, his voice brimming with resentment. "No wonder nothing felt right no matter how I thought about it. You're the real killer."

"Now it all makes sense. Everything makes sense!"

As he spoke, he strode toward the child, visibly agitated.

The child hid behind Yin Ge in fright.

Seeing this, the best man looked hopefully at Yin Ge. "You know. You know I'm not the killer!"

"During the incident, I barely had any contact with the bride. And I have a Godhead!"

"Who says there's no problem with that?" the bride's mother spoke up again. "What if the groom is the [Feudal Lord], and you stole his identity?"

"And all the game information we know came from you. What if you deliberately fed us false information?"

"Or maybe there was never a [Feudal Lord] Godhead at all! Maybe you made it up to deceive us!"

The best man seemed to laugh in anger. "What kind of joke is that?"

"On the second day, the bridesmaid personally said I'd been killed. She used the [Court Minister] Godhead to save me! Can that be faked?"

Before Yin Ge could speak, the groom's sister quickly said, "What if you killed yourself to gain our trust?"

"I knew it. You were the first one to suggest identifying me and verifying whether I had a Godhead. You were leading everyone along and trying to use up my [Death Immunity] rule."

"You even had the nerve to pretend you wanted to use the Partition skill on me. Disgusting!"

"Pah!"

Under her account, all of the best man's previous actions suddenly seemed clear. Things that had appeared normal at the time now carried a different meaning.

When the matter of Partition was brought up, the best man's eyes flickered.

"I really do have the [Feudal Lord] Godhead. I may not be able to prove it, but think about what happened during the day. I didn't do anything at all, so where did this suspicion come from?"

His voice was rapid and urgent, filled with grievance. As he spoke, he looked at Yin Ge. "You know I'm not."

A trace of conflict appeared on Yin Ge's face. "There's no way to verify whether you have a Godhead, but you're not entirely free of suspicion in this incident."

The best man looked utterly bewildered. He stared at Yin Ge as though she were someone who had used him and then cast him aside.

Yin Ge patiently explained, "On the first day, we all knew that the groom and bride had a conflict, and that it was because the bride had cheated."

"But what no one knew was that the person messaging the bride was the best man."

As soon as she finished speaking, the child nodded in agreement. "That's right, I saw it too. It was you!"

"H-How is that possible? I didn't send anything!" the best man flatly denied it.

The child ran over to the groom's sister and tugged on her hand. "Big sister, since you saw the messages, you must have seen the sender's profile picture too, right?"

"I saw on the bride's phone that the person who sent the messages had a little dog as their profile picture."

The groom's sister thought for a moment, then nodded sharply. "That's right. It was a little dog!"

Hearing that, even the best man found it hard to believe. "The profile picture was a little dog, that's true, but I never saw the phone! I didn't know anything about this!"

"Hmph!" The bride's mother snorted coldly. "Would a killer admit to having a conflict with the bride? Would a killer admit to being the killer?"

"We trusted you for so long, and you'd been deceiving us the whole time!"

Hearing this, the best man hurried to explain himself, but he could not explain anything clearly.

Yin Ge gazed deeply at him, countless doubts rising in her heart.

Indeed, all of their Son of Heaven Game information had come from the best man.

It would have been easy for him to fabricate a Godhead or a Godhead rule.

Second, there was a chance that the best man had killed himself to obtain Yin Ge's [Rule Disruption] rule.

Finally, the relationship between the best man and the bride was indeed a mystery. A crime of passion was also highly possible.

As for the other suspects present... Yin Ge looked at the bride's mother.

During the incident, the bride's mother had almost no conflict with the bride aside from the bride price. There seemed to be no motive for her to kill the bride.

Second, the bride's mother most likely had the [Commoner] Godhead, because no one else had claimed to possess it.

The most extreme possibility was that the groom had the [Commoner] Godhead.

But if that were the case, when the bride's mother revealed that she had the [Commoner] Godhead, how could the groom have allowed someone else to take his Godhead while stubbornly insisting that he had the [Son of Heaven] Godhead?

That clearly made no sense, so the groom definitely could not have the [Commoner] Godhead.

All things considered, the bride's mother was most likely a commoner.

That meant the groom was actually far more suspicious than the bride's mother.

There was one other suspicious person... Yin Ge glanced lightly at that person, but in the end, she turned away and fixed her gaze on the best man, her expression unreadable.

Suspicion, excitement, impatience—the others wore different expressions as they looked at the best man.

The child spoke clearly. "Big brother doesn't have a Godhead. As long as we identify him, the game will definitely end."

"What are we waiting for?"

Hearing this, the groom's sister and the bride's mother made up their minds and did not look at the best man again.

Only Yin Ge—no one knew what she was thinking, because she lowered her head.

"Time's almost up," the child could not help reminding her.

Yin Ge did not want to miss any clue. Even as time ran out, she was still thinking.

It was not until 7:58 that she finally raised her head.

This time, there was no hesitation in her eyes.

The child tightly held Yin Ge's hand. "Big sister, who will you identify later?"

Yin Ge shook her head slightly. "I haven't decided."

The child frowned deeply. "Big sister, big brother has no Godhead. He's definitely the killer. You have to identify him."

Yin Ge gave a faint, ambiguous smile. "Whether I identify him or not doesn't seem to affect anything."

After all, the child, the bride's mother, and the groom's sister had now become new "grasshoppers tied to the same rope." They had united and were all going to identify the groom.

"Of course it matters!" An innocent smile appeared on the child's face. "Big sister, we'll succeed."

"I know. We'll successfully find the killer," Yin Ge replied. Then, unwilling to say more, she simply stared at the clock on the wall.

Finally, it was eight o'clock!

Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats, but the bride did not appear for a long time.

This was clearly different from the previous days. Yin Ge frowned slightly.

The next moment, a face smeared with red and white liquid suddenly appeared right in front of her.

A jump scare right in her face!?

If Yin Ge had not entered this game, she might have been afraid.

But after enduring so many trials, little fear remained in her heart. All that was left was an intense desire to survive.

So, after the child and the others voiced their intention to identify the best man, Yin Ge ignored the bride before her and once again steeled herself.

She slowly raised her hand and pointed at... the best man!
