One suggestion from Ren Ye left everyone silent.
To be fair, inheriting the entire "estate" of the two deceased really did touch on everyone's interests. And if everyone gave way, Comrade Sandbag would have far too great an advantage.
The current situation was this: Ren Ye and Yin Tiger had Song Mingzhe's Autobiography Fragments; Tan Pang, Xiao Shuai, and Xiao Yuan had Pan Lianrong's Autobiography Fragments; the woman, Old Cadre, and Brother Hong had Song An's Autobiography Fragments.
Eight people, three paths, and completely different directions of investigation.
None of them were rookies, and they all knew perfectly well that these Autobiography Fragments absolutely had a bearing on the final outcome. Moreover, the fragments could be duplicates, because when they were at the Taoist Temple, Tan Pang had triggered a mission on that path and received a Song Mingzhe fragment as a reward too.
In other words, if Ren Ye now inherited all of Xiao Yuan's and the woman's fragments, he would have all three paths firmly in his grasp.
What did that mean?
It meant he could piece together the complete autobiographies of all three characters!
What had the Star Gate said?
"Players must participate in or lead the reconstruction of the contents of three 'Autobiographies.' If you can reconstruct the Autobiographies independently, each successful reconstruction will count cumulatively, and the rewards will be extremely generous."
Clearly, the words "extremely generous" were steeped in bloody competition. The Autobiography Fragments were probably the key to deciding the final outcome, so if Ren Ye secured all three paths now, his advantage would be enormous.
Everyone understood this, so they all fell silent and simply stared at one another.
That was human nature. When people faced certain death, all they thought about was how to survive and who could save them; but
