No!

No one was born to be sacrificed.

If a Feudal Lord was identified, the Daylight Faction would lose a source of support.

Yin Ge turned her head and saw that five minutes remained. She quickly said, "A Son of Heaven and a Feudal Lord are both extremely important to the Daylight Faction."

"Moreover, both the Head Teacher and the Grade-Level Head are suspicious because of what they did during the incident, and the Head Teacher is even more suspicious."

"But no one was willing to reveal their Godhead, and no one's Godhead overlapped with theirs, so the suspicion on the two of them decreased."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"We can't identify someone with a Godhead and little suspicion!" Yin Ge declared firmly.

"I already said it was just a little sacrifice. You can still live in the end..." the sports committee member couldn't help but interject.

"That's easy for you to say!" Yin Ge's sharp gaze snapped to his face. "Why don't you sacrifice yourself? You can still live in the end anyway."

The sports committee member choked and didn't dare say another word.

Hearing this, the Grade-Level Head's body trembled slightly, as though he had been deeply moved.

The once-confident Head Teacher bit down hard on her lower lip. "What you said does make sense, but... but if we don't do that, who do we identify tonight?"

The moment she asked that question, everyone looked at Yin Ge.

"Me!" Yin Ge said without hesitation.

The others were stunned. They had never expected someone to voluntarily walk to her death.

The Principal and Grade-Level Head were both anxious and worried.

The Grade-Level Head couldn't help stepping forward, wanting to persuade her further.

But before he could speak, Yin Ge beat him to it. "I'm the Grand Physician. If you identify me, no one will die tonight."

"You, you..." The Head Teacher stared wide-eyed at Yin Ge.

The others had all kinds of expressions in their eyes—surprise, confusion—as though they couldn't understand why she had stepped forward.

Of course, Yin Ge had not stepped forward to die for nothing.

She understood that some things were more important than preserving herself, and blindly protecting herself would not necessarily lead to victory.

She wanted everyone to identify her because she wanted to protect the Grade-Level Head while revealing her Godhead, earning everyone's trust, and becoming their leader.

She had realized that there was no trust at all among them. They were like a scattered pile of sand, with no one willing to step up, lead everyone in analyzing the clues, and solve the problem.

And for the Daylight Faction, the Son of Heaven Game was absolutely a team game.

At this rate, they'd never find the Beasthood.

Besides, she already had someone in mind. If she wanted to set the pace, lead everyone in identifying the Beasthood, and make others believe her, the prerequisite was that she had to be trustworthy!

That was why she had decided to use her Godhead under these circumstances, proving that she possessed a Godhead and belonged to the Daylight Faction.

Thinking of the person she suspected, Yin Ge slowly raised her eyes and looked coldly in one direction.

The next moment, she completely lost consciousness.

Thinking of this, Yin Ge repeated herself. "Identify me!"

The moment her words fell, the clock hand pointed to the number "8."

Eight o'clock had arrived.

Everyone's bodies were frozen in place. Only their hands and heads could move, because they needed their hands and mouths to identify the Beasthood.

The next moment, the High School Student Zhang Zichen appeared out of thin air on the podium.

He wore a school uniform, his face pale and his eyes hollow. Like a terrifying doll drained of life, he stood silently where he was.

To Yin Ge, the visual impact was nowhere near as strong as the Bride's.

Just as that thought surfaced in her mind, countless invisible blades seemed to appear in the air, ruthlessly slicing across Zhang Zichen's body.

Fine wounds gradually appeared all over him. Then, spurting blood instantly dyed his entire body red.

What was going on...? Yin Ge's eyes widened slightly.

She knew very well that the current Son of Heaven Game was set during Zhang Zichen's high school years, while the Original Son of Heaven Game was set after he had grown up.

In other words, Zhang Zichen had not died in this scenario. The signal that the game had ended was merely his transfer to another school.

Then what was this bloody scene before her?

A normal person would have died dozens of times over in this condition. How could he have lived to adulthood?

No, the Son of Heaven Game could not be interpreted with normal logic.

What if the Beasthood in the game had deliberately created such a scene to shatter the psychological defenses of those with fragile minds?

Anything was possible.

Perhaps because she had experienced the Bride's Son of Heaven Game, Yin Ge was far more mentally prepared. She did not panic much at the sight.

But the others were not nearly as calm. Screams and wails rose into the sky.

Then, Zhang Zichen moved!

"Don't come over, don't come over!" The sports committee member raised his hands to cover his head.

The School Beauty squeezed her eyes shut and didn't dare make a sound.

"What the hell is that thing..." The School Bully stared at Zhang Zichen and muttered.

The Head Teacher, Principal, and Grade-Level Head stared intently at Zhang Zichen, as though trying to find some flaw in him.

Yin Ge knew there was no point observing Zhang Zichen and shouted directly, "Quick! Quick! Identify the Killer!"

The moment her words fell, Zhang Zichen, who had been moving slowly just moments ago, instantly floated before Yin Ge at an unnatural speed.

Yin Ge met his gaze and instinctively held her breath.

"Who is it!"

Zhang Zichen's voice was shrill, like someone deliberately scraping their nails across a blackboard, making everyone's scalp tingle.

But soon, Zhang Zichen instantly moved to Principal's side.

"Who is it!!!"

His voice became sharper and louder each time.

Just as he was about to move in front of the sports committee member, the latter finally broke down and blurted out, "Identify! I identify her!"

He pointed at Yin Ge.

Seeing someone make a decision, School Bully covered one ear with a hand and pointed at Yin Ge with the other.

School Beauty followed suit and identified Yin Ge.

Yin Ge's gaze swept across the three of them before gradually settling on one person.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, then looked at Head Teacher, Principal, and Grade-Level Head, urging, "Quick!"

"I'm sorry!" Head Teacher spoke quickly, then identified Yin Ge as well.

Under Yin Ge's urging gaze, Principal and Grade-Level Head also tremblingly pointed at her.

Yin Ge casually pointed at Grade-Level Head.

At that point, everyone had completed their identification.

In an instant, Zhang Zichen's voice stopped abruptly, and the entire world seemed to fall silent.

Covered in blood, he slowly floated toward Yin Ge and gradually merged into her body.

So this was what it felt like... Yin Ge's entire body went numb, as though she had been submerged in an icy lake and then rolled through a vat of boiling oil.

As her body gradually turned transparent, her consciousness entered the void once more!

Seven tiny points of light were right before her eyes!

However, one of them was turning red at a visible speed.

Yin Ge sensed that it was herself.

Death Immunity!

With a thought, a surging force poured down and washed all the red from the point of light.

At the same time, Yin Ge suddenly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Zichen's figure, not yet fully merged into her body, scatter into the air like wind.

Death Immunity had succeeded!

Principal and Grade-Level Head could barely contain their excitement. "She's alive, she's alive!"

The others also breathed sighs of relief.

Only Yin Ge slowly raised her eyes, looked coldly in one direction, and then completely lost consciousness.
