Chapter 322: Chapter 321 Return!

Translator: 549690339

Du Gang sighed, “I really didn’t expect it, you’re really bold and skilled. The high-heeled shoes actually rang at your own door….”

He hadn’t forgotten that on the first night, the first appearance of the high-heeled shoes was at door number 1.

At that time, number 1 was framed on him.

And he also thought at that time that number 1 could not be the Wolfman.

Now it seemed that he was using his own intelligence to clear his suspicion.

“Impressive!”

Du Gang lamented, “You are really not simple, a scheme within a scheme, deliberately putting yourself in the situation, causing me to mistakenly believe that the Wolfman wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Hearing this series of reasonable and evidence-based analysis, Fu Yangxia was stunned.

Du Gang’s analysis was very coherent, as if it were the truth.

Even if he himself listened, he would doubt whether he really picked the Wolfman card.

But how can this be? What he got was clearly the witch’s card!

Nie Fei, number 5, couldn’t help but applaud, looking at Du Gang with a bit of admiration, “Impressive, I didn’t expect you to be this skilled, you’re well-deserved as someone who dares to claim to be good at reasoning from the start…”

Fu Yangxia opened his mouth to speak, but was unable to utter a word. He tried to find loopholes in Du Gang’s speech, but could not find any.

The logic was too complete, as if he really did all of it.

Suddenly, he remembered the part of tricking number 6 into voting, and exclaimed, “Wait, the one who suggested to vote for each other was Liang Chu, not me…”

Du Gang shook his head, “That doesn’t prove anything, you could have just found Liang Chu privately before voting began, and told him your plan!”

“Considering Liang Chu’s character, he would definitely initiate it in the meeting room once he learns the method from you!”

Indeed, Liang Chu was like a big boss from the start, no matter what it was, he always took the lead, making this point entirely without a problem.

Fu Yangxia was stunned again.

He looked at Du Gang and then at number 5, filled with suspicion in his eyes.

Du Gang simply laughed, “What, you still suspect that the Wolfman is among the two of us?”

“Liang Chu died at night. He’s the Prophet. We both were confirmed by him to be mere citizens!”

Nie Fei, number 5, also started laughing, “Fu Yangxia, stop struggling. This afternoon, you’re done for!”

However, Fu Yangxia kept shaking his head.

“I understand now!”

“I understand now!”

He muttered to himself, filled with regret.

“I should not have poisoned him yesterday…”

“Right, you should have been unarmed yesterday, making everyone believe you were the real witch, that way you could have survived!”

Du Gang chuckled: “Too bad you were too impatient. Liang Chu cornered you, causing you to lose your composure and reasoning. Plus, you were already moving at the time, so you killed Liang Chu as soon as you got the chance…”

Nie Fei nodded, “That’s exactly right, if it wasn’t for Liang Chu fighting him to the death and causing him to lose control, he might have truly acted as if he was unarmed to prove his identity as the witch last night. Then by the time voting took place, it would likely be Liang Chu who got voted out, as the real witch had already died!”

“And once Liang Chu dies during the day, you could kill another one during the night. By day, there would only be two people left, one vote each, it surely would result in a tie, you would definitely win!”

“Such a pity!”

Nie Fei shook his head and sighed, “Being careless at the critical moment, you were too careless. You neglected the most crucial part of verifying your identity, and rushed to kill Liang Chu…”

But now, Fu Yangxia’s expression was a little strange. He looked at Nie Fei, then at Du Gang, finally locking eyes with Du Gang.

“Du Gang, it’s you, isn’t it?!”

“It’s you who’s the Wolfman, isn’t it?!”

Du Gang rolled his eyes with laughter, “Tell me, I want to hear, how are you going to pin the identity of a Wolfman on me in this situation?!”

Nie Fei was also looking at him with interest.

But Fu Yangxia just shook his head and sneered.

“Liang Chu said before that he knew Li Qing previously, right?”

“That’s correct, is there a problem with that?!”

“Ha ha!”

Fu Yangxia sneered again, slowly saying, “In fact, there is another person acquainted with Li Qing and Liang Chu, and that person is you, Du Gang!”

“Oh?”

“The three of you are friends, teaming up together…”

“After learning that you are a Wolfman, both of them were very loyal. They directly decided to sacrifice themselves to save you…”

“Friends?”

Du Gang laughed lightly: “Did you forget the rounds everyone reported at the beginning?”

“Do you think, based on my rounds, who has a deeper relationship among the two of us?”

He snorted: “Li Qing and Liang Chu are both people who have experienced 7 mission worlds, while I’ve only been through 1. Do you think my relationship with them exceeds that of friendship all of a sudden?”

Nie Fei also burst out laughing, “Fu Yangxia, stop resisting. With only three people left, the truth is out in the open. Do you still want to get my vote?”

“Sorry, I’m not stupid!”

Fu Yangxia furrowed his brows.

He also felt Du Gang was right, how could someone who has a shared experience of 1 mission make two people who have been through 7 missions together die for him?

Soon, he came up with another possibility.

“Perhaps, you know each other in real life. The two of them are your family’s servants in the Du residence. Their families are all under your Du family’s control. You threatened them, saying that if you die, their families must die too…”

Du Gang shrugged, “Your assumptions are getting more ludicrous. You’re saying I’m from the Du family? Tell me, is there a force in the Southern Wilderness known as Du?”

“Don’t talk about divine forces, just tell me, among the royal or noble families, is there one with the name Du?”

As he said this, he looked at Nie Fei and laughed, “Coincidentally, Fu Yangxia and I entered this place from the same location and there happened to be a stalk of Gloomy Sun Grass there…”

Nie Fei nods, “So you two are both from the Southern Wilderness!”

Fu Yangxia wanted to fabricate some grand Du family, but in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

He was in despair.

He knew that the Wolfman was between Du Gang and Nie Fei.

But the only problem was, he didn’t know who among these two was the real Wolfman.

The Wolfman had concealed himself too well!

He firmly believed that one of these two was the werewolf, as well as a friend of Liang Chu and Li Qing. Everything they had done was for the werewolf to win!

Fu Yangxia abruptly sat down on the ground, his gaze circulating between the two men.

“When I die, the game won’t end. Among you two, one is a civilian and the other a werewolf. When the time comes, the civilian among you will regret it!”

“You’ll understand how I feel now!”

Du Gang and Nie Fei exchanged a glance and shrugged, “Stop struggling, it’s useless!”

Fu Yangxia realized that these two would not change their minds anymore. They were one hundred percent certain that he was the werewolf.

“Hehe!”

He gave a bitter laugh, “We’ll see! Weep when the time comes!”

Saying that, he sat down on the ground, lying down, his expression faraway, starting to recall his past life.

Upon seeing this, Du Gang whispered to Nie Fei who was standing by, “Be careful, he might lash out in desperation. You go next door and grab a dagger. I’ll watch over him…”

“Okay!”

At this life and death moment, there was no place for compassion.

If Fu Yangxia doesn’t die, then he would be the one to die!

Until Nie Fei left, Fu Yangxia didn’t make a move, as if he had indeed given up.

And so, the two of them guarded the door while Fu Yangxia lay on the ground, his gaze distant, sometimes even emitting a weird laugh.

“Du Gang, are we being too cruel?”

Nie Fei at this moment seemed somewhat reluctant, after all, they were all the same.

Du Gang sighed, “Cruel? The truly cruel one is this world, not us!”

“If you think it’s too cruel, then why don’t you die in his place?”

Hearing this, Nie Fei shrugged, “Never mind, then!”

Finally, time approached the last half hour, and the voting verdict finally began.

Du Gang and Nie Fei returned to the conference room, but Fu Yangxia didn’t come.

He knew too well that his death was certain and had completely given up.

For him, there was no difference between being voted to death and failing to arrive at the designated location on time and dying.

“Out of nine people, only two of us survived, that’s a 22% survival rate!”

Nie Fei sighed, “The death rate this time is too low…”

He wasn’t yet aware of the actual death rate in the red world.

And Du Gang, just gave a light laugh.

This death rate, compared to the 95% rate in the red world, was already quite good.

For the next while, the two of them had nothing to talk about, they just sat quietly for half an hour, finally waiting for the voting moment.

[Voting verdict begins, please vote within 10 seconds!]

Next, the machine from overhead descended again.

Du Gang and Nie Fei, both of them pressed the key number 1.

[Voting ends, the voting result is as follows:]

[Number 2 and Number 5 -> Number 1]

[Number 1, two votes. This round’s verdict is for Player Number 1. Player Number 1 is sentenced to death by gunshot!]

[Player number 1 was the witch, the game continues, all players please return to their rooms within 30 seconds]

[Countdown: 29 seconds]

“What?”

When the voting results were shown, Du Gang and Nie Fei were both taken aback.

“How is that possible!”

Du Gang looked at Nie Fei in disbelief, “Could it be… you’re the werewolf?”

Nie Fei panicked even more, “Not me, not me. Why hasn’t the game ended?”

At this moment, he remembered what Fu Yangxia had said before.

Liang Chu and Li Qing may have known Du Gang since long ago. They were coordinating with each other…

“Du Gang!”

At this moment, the ruthlessness flared up in Nie Fei’s heart, he raised the dagger and swiftly lunged at Du Gang.

“Whoosh!”

Du Gang’s attention was completely on Nie Fei. He naturally saw this attack coming and quickly retreated, avoiding the knife.

“Don’t act rashly!”

Based on Nie Fei’s reaction, as well as the current situation, Du Gang finally understood.

His deduction was built upon a false model!

Nie Fei didn’t care about any of that, his eyes red, he again raised his dagger and slashed at Du Gang.

Du Gang, quick-eyed and agile, slapped his wrist, while his other hand swiftly moved up, pressing it against Nie Fei’s neck.

[Countdown: 25 seconds]

The sound of impending death echoed once again.

Du Gang, however, surprisingly felt a moment of disorientation.

After he had overturned his entire deduction, he came to a shocking yet logical conclusion.

At this time, Nie Fei was unwilling to concede. Taking advantage of Du Gang’s momentary distraction, he raised the knife once again and stabbed straight at Du Gang.

Seeing this, Du Gang avoided his vital parts and received the stab with his back. At the same time, the dagger pressing against Nie Fei’s neck left a mark.

“Stop, listen to me!”

At this moment, Du Gang’s brain was running at high speed, and soon he had a set of words to say.

“If I were the werewolf, I could kill you now, but I’m not!”

“Nie Fei, we were both fooled. Player Number 8 is not the hunter, it’s Player Number 6, he faked his death!”

“Faked death, do you understand?!”

[Countdown: 15 seconds!]

“Go back, go back to your room for now. We still have a chance!”

“Huh?”

Nie Fei was a little confused, not knowing if what Du Gang said was true or not.

But then again, Du Gang had indeed not killed him.

Not only that, but Du Gang had also put down the dagger in his hand and quickly left the meeting room, running for his own room.

Subconsciously, Nie Fei followed him out.

“Go back to your room, we still have a chance. Number 6 is not really dead, understand?!”

Hearing this, Nie Fei was filled with a renewed hope for survival and quickly followed.

Soon, he reached his own room, number 5, and hurried inside.

Meanwhile, Du Gang quickly returned to room number 2.

Just as he laid down on the bed, the electronic voice above his head started to speak.

[Eyes closed, it’s nighttime!]

[Wolfman, begin your moves!]

“Should be okay, right?”

“He should be the one to die, right?!”

At that moment, Du Gang was somewhat frantic.

He completely ignored the door crack, lying flat on the bed, his eyes wide open staring at the ceiling.

Time slipped away bit by bit. It took a full three minutes for the electronic voice to speak again.

[The Wolfman chose his target]

[Witch, please act, the Wolfman decided to kill him, do you choose to use the antidote? Or the poison?]

Right bet!

Du Gang sighed in relief.

“So, is Nie Fei dead?”

He muttered, but his heart was still in his throat, daring not to make a sound, waiting for the next announcement from the electronic voice.

[The Witch’s turn ends!]

[Prophet, please act, choose the player you want to check the identity of!]

[Prophet’s turn ends, all night activities end, goodnight!]

Finally, after four to five minutes, all the announcements from the electronic voice ended.

“I survived!”

At this moment, Du Gang smiled.

This time, he had truly survived!

When Fu Yangxia died, the moment the game didn’t end, all his previous deductive reasoning was overturned.

All of these speculations were built on the premise that this game was being played fairly.

But if the game wasn’t fair from the start, no matter how you play, there’s nothing you can do!

So, at that instant, everything became clear to him.

Why everyone’s game number was arranged according to the order they entered this world, while his was the exact opposite of number one.

Why didn’t the game end even though the wolfman was locked down and the remaining players were all good guys?

All of this was because the wolfman was never any of them to begin with!

The wolfman… was the will of this world!

The world’s will set the rules of the game, but it hid a crucial detail.

That is the wolfman was it itself!

Therefore, their fighting and killing each other inside was useless.

“I am number 2, and Fu Yangxia is number 1. Is this a hint from the Heavenly Court?”

“Telling us that after entering this world, the rules of the game are not as it has told us?!”

Many thoughts crossed Du Gang’s mind in an instant.

“This game, it’s not a detective game!”

“It’s an… escape game!”

The real task given to us by the Heavenly Court is to escape!

While Wolfman Kill is the task that the will of the world gives us, pretending to be the Heavenly Court and even reiterating…

But of course, the Heavenly Court is not entirely helpless. The rules of the Wolfman Kill are actually the room for maneuver left by the Heavenly Court, it’s time given to them.

The world’s will can only kill one person with the form of wolfman at night.

At other times, it can only spectate or manipulate things around, but it cannot kill!

That’s why he lied to Nie Fei to return to his room at the end.

If Nie Fei hadn’t gone back, he would have died from the rules.

Which means that the wolfman would still be able to kill another person at night.

By then, with only Du Gang left, he would have nowhere else to go.

So, at the time, he tricked Nie Fei into going back to his room. His purpose was to have Nie Fei take the hit for him.

“I made the right bet!”

When he realized and understood all this at that moment, he began to think of ways to survive.

Ultimately, he just felt that he might be luckier than Nie Fei at night, and may not necessarily die, so he chose to deceive him.

Indeed, he was right!

“The world’s will is probably killing based on strength, or maybe based on the order of entering this world…”

“More likely, it just wants to see me breakdown!”

Du Gang believed that the most likely reason was that this world’s will was sadistic, amused by their internal fightings, it found joy.

The greater the emotional turbulence of humans, the more pleasure it derives.

So, to save him, the con-man, for last!

Just like a child with a load of toys, keeping the best toy for the last after getting them all.

Because he was scared, he played with the best first, and the others could not give him pleasure.

As it turned out, he made the right bet, whether it was luck or something else, he survived.

The dead one was Nie Fei!

So, when there was only Du Gang left in the Wolfman Kill game, he suffered from insomnia!

All night, he pondered on how to escape from here.

“Dawn has arrived, all players are free to move!”

“All players, huh?”

Du Gang shook his head with a bitter smile.

Nine people entered, and currently, he was the only one left!

“It’s time to leave!”

The dead are gone, the living must continue to live, any more melancholy is useless.

After Du Gang left Room 2, he took a last look at the corridor, then headed upstairs.

He went straight to the balcony on the second floor, faced the strong attraction inside, and pushed open the door that looked like a demon to others.

“Boom!”

As the door opened, the original situation of the sky full of red light suddenly changed.

Endless purple radiance pierced through all the red light that was suppressing him at that moment.

“Buzz!”

Just in a moment, Du Gang was enveloped in this purple light.

The next second, he was transported back to his own independent Heavenly Court space with the pull of that force.

“The task is being settled…”

“This mission is a survival mode, reward 1 Merit Point!”

“Your basic reward is 1 Merit Point!”

“Congratulations, you have received a grade above D for evaluation, beginning data analysis…”

“Successful grading, your mission completion evaluation is A grade, receiving an additional 90% Merit Points reward…”

“Your final rewards total: 1 Merit Point and 9000 Merit Points.”

“The mission is over, you will have an hour to linger in Heavenly Court, please complete the exchange within an hour.”

“The next mission release time will be between three and six months, please accept the mission promptly and enter the Heavenly Court.”

“It’s over!”

Du Gang sighed.

He survived, but eight people were left there forever!

Not just their physical bodies, but also their souls, and even their gods!

“Phew!”

He breathed out deeply, let out the stifling feeling in his heart, adjusted himself a little, and started checking his merit points.

“Ding, your Merit Points balance is: 22397”

“Enough for two level ups!”

What Du Gang lacks now is not other practices, but his cultivation level!

If he had time, he could naturally practice slowly, but what he lacks is time.

“Heavenly Court, convert my Merit Points to Merit, I want to upgrade my cultivation level!”

“Ding, your current cultivation level: Third Tribulation God Spirit, you can spend 2 Merit Points to upgrade to Fifth Tribulation God Spirit. Do you want to upgrade?”

“Yes!”

With his affirmation, the entire Heavenly Court space sparkled.

A purple radiance descended from the sky, directly hitting him.

“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!”

“Swipe Swipe Swipe!”

At this moment, Du Gang seemed to see the whole world revolving as if he was embodying the Heavenly Dao.

He peered into the mysteries of the whole world!

Cosmic truths floated before his eyes….

Unfortunately, this feeling did not last long, and he quickly came to his senses.

Looking again, his cultivation level had reached the stage of the Fifth Tribulation God Spirit.

“Finally reached the Fifth Tribulation!”

Du Gang smiled again.

The Fifth Tribulation God Spirit, this means that his basic limit of Divine Power reached 1500 Naer Divine Power.

Multiplying by his 4% cultivation advancement, his basic limit of Divine Power reached the level of 6000 Naer!

If, with the Jie-Character Secret ten-times combat power increase, his combat strength will reach a terrifying 60,000!

Of course, it can only last ten seconds.

But these ten seconds are enough for him to deal with most enemies at the God Spirit stage!

“This is not the end!”

“After eating the Gloomy Sun Grass, the progress ceiling for my God Spirit Level cultivation method can reach up to 6%!”

“In other words, there can be more bonuses….”

“I wonder, how far is my current strength compared to the strong ones on the Human Ranking?”

There will be a day….

After the cultivation level upgrade, Du Gang chose a few cheap but practical items in Heavenly Court’s exchange box, then chose to leave.

He didn’t forget that outside, there were still five people waiting for him….

“Yin-Yang Five, I’m coming!”
