[Did Ah Si really take the money? How did he know?]
[Who knows. But Ah Si’s forfeit is not important for the others. What matters is the distrust in their hearts.]
The phone vibrated.
Chi Yiyin typed blindly with his eyes closed, and answered Tong Yao’s question.
He was still smiling, and wasn’t able to see himself sitting on a gambling table without any cards, but won the gamble of life and death with two lies in succession.
——Even sent the dealer to die.
After what happened just now, all the players thought that Chi Yiyin was “Pope” on the Morning Star List, and were subconsciously in awe.
But Tong Yao knew the inside story.
She casually told Chi Yiyin the information about “Pope,” and Ah Si’s evidence was a lie that exploited people’s hearts
 Then, who is Chi Yiyin’s real identity?
Looking at Chi Yiyin who was smiling, Tong Yao felt a chill on her back.
[Don’t worry, miss. Whoever I am, they already think we’re companions—it’s hard to dispel suspicions that have taken root. But rest assured, I will take you out of this instance alive.]
The phone vibrated.
Tong Yao hurriedly looked at it, and her pupils dilated.
She looked at Chi Yiyin in disbelief, wondering how he could tell what she was thinking.
But Chi Yiyin tilted his head, as if signaling to her.
——I know about all the ideas in everyone’s head and am happy to cooperate. However, if you want to harm me in turn, you must think twice.
He smiled casually, even though the female ghost’s rules temporarily deprived him of his vision, he had already quickly scanned the place’s entire layout when he entered the banquet hall, and built a three-dimensional model in his mind.
With subtle audio feedback, he could grasp the situation of the audience.
Even though the system happily announced that the countdown was reduced by one more day, the players no longer cared about it. Compared to time, the loss of one person who would stab them in the back is more important.
“I know that everyone has suspicions about the aunt’s identity. Although Ah Si has said something, unfortunately, he seems unwilling to share the really valuable information with you.”
Chi Yiyin’s smile gradually disappeared, and his expression became solemn: “Like everyone, I also made some small preparations before coming here.”
False.
All the news he had was told by the others themselves.
Chi Yiyin said, “But if you want to fulfill the instance boss’ wish, the key to family harmony lies in the elder sister—that is, the role we play. But have you ever thought about it, no matter how much the elder sister dislike this family, she still rushed home after receiving the telegram. But after returning home, her temperament changed drastically, and she even killed her three younger siblings, and even the whole family in some plot branches.”
The expressions of the players gradually became serious. While nodding in recognition of Chi Yiyin, their gazes at the aunt also became inquisitive.
“The elder sister’s change is due to the arrival of the aunt. Perhaps, she came as a matchmaker for her, and it was this blind date that caused the Ma family to be disharmonious.”
Chi Yiyin said meaningfully: “After all, the NPCs have been constantly reminding us that the elder sister has reached the age to marry.”
Half true and half false.
He knew how to tell a lie—a good and honest boy wouldn’t survive in an orphanage.
Chi Yiyin didn’t say that, in fact, the reason he discovered that what happened to the aunt was abnormal because he triggered the most critical part of the hatred value in the whole instance.
“Revenge of the Ghost.”
The female ghost’s hatred for him, which was so high that it was almost full, came from the time he protected the aunt. The female ghost wanted to kill the aunt who was very close to the “elder sister,” and even the system secretly gave a hint.
“Her Wedding Dress.”
On the floor of the boudoir
 there were a few huge gilded wooden boxes placed abruptly, which was not in the style a young miss would use.
Rather, it’s more like a dowry gift.
Chi Yiyin thought that maybe what the aunt brought was not a blind date, but a marriage, but the female ghost hated it so much that she even wanted to kill her aunt after she died.
And, he has another doubt.
From the time he walked into the garden, he discovered that this mansion
 was too similar to the haunted mansion he had explored before entering the game field.
If you destroy the scenery in the garden, make it overgrown with weeds, dilapidated and messy, it would be exactly the same.
Although Chi Yiyin did not explore the entire haunted mansion, he still remembered the general structure, and the more he compared it, the more he suspected the connection between the two.
The story that made that mansion famous, may be different from the one provided by the system

Chi Yiyin remembered that Tong Yao had told him before that the system would use the art of language to “lie.”
Could it be that the system distorted their understanding when he didn’t realize it?
He turned the pen in his hand thoughtfully.
“You mean, as long as we kill the aunt, we can pass the instance?”
Li Li was the first to raise his own doubts: “An instance where no one has ever passed in 12 years, can it be so simple?”
It was Chi Yiyin who hinted that he knew the identity of this aunt and additional information that made Li Li voted for Ah Si instead of Chi Yiyin. Now he wanted to get back the information he deserved, otherwise

A stern look flashed in Li Li’s eyes.
But Chi Yiyin spread his hands regretfully, and said, “I really want to explain more, but the time freeze is up.”
The moment he finished speaking, the second hand of the clock skipped one frame.
Then, the whole mansion immediately came back to life.
At the same time, Chi Yiyin took advantage of the fact that the instance had just restarted, and immediately wrote down his guesses about the housekeeper, female ghost, and the aunt in his notebook.
Both the housekeeper and aunt were successfully included in the notebook, allowing him to further control the housekeeper to do things for him.
But what he wrote about the female ghost turned into powder and dissipated the moment it was written.
The female ghost behind his back returned to her usual state, and Chi Yiyin was finally able to open his eyes.
He stroked the place where the handwriting disappeared with an imposing expression. How could it be
 all the guesses about the female ghost were wrong?
But there was no time left for Chi Yiyin.
The aunt walked towards the long table with a smile, and all the players stood up to greet her, and the three younger siblings who had just been frozen also rushed towards her with a smile.
The faceless servants appeared as silently as wandering spirits, and quickly cleaned up the flesh and blood left by Ah Si, removed the chairs, and replaced the carpet, as if nothing had happened.
But Chi Yiyin noticed keenly that the younger sister glanced at him triumphantly and viciously, as if she knew something.
—It might even be planned by the younger sister.
And those faceless servants

The smile on Chi Yiyin’s lips disappeared, and he frowned slightly and looked at the servant who bent over to change the carpet.
He noticed that when the servant squatted down, he picked up something from the ground. It was thin and flesh-colored, like a human face that had been peeled off intact.
And among the servants without facial features, there was one who had a face.
Chi Yiyin had seen this face before, it should have belonged to a player.
The player is dead, but the face appeared on a servant’s.
Chi Yiyin rubbed his slender fingers unconsciously, doubt had formed in his heart.
Before the live broadcast, the teenager with a lollipop in his mouth looked at Chi Yiyin without blinking, and dialed his phone: “I want to enter [Dear Home].”
“!!!”
The other person suddenly woke up: “How is it possible? The instance will be completely offline soon, and the last run has already started
”
The other person suddenly realized something, and raised his voice: “You, don’t tell me you are watching a free live broadcast? You want to use the free live broadcast rule that randomly grab viewers and put them into the instance?”
“Why not?”
The teenager smiled and looked at Chi Yiyin before the screen, his voice full of malice: “I want to know who dares to pretend to be me. The one who survives is the real one.”
Things are getting more interesting! The connection between reality & game field, the truth about Ma Yuze, and Chi Yiyin has accidentally provoked someone?? lol
