Chapter 11: From now on, this is my home turf!

"You all are beasts, none of you are human!" Guo Xiaoyun's face was full of despair; she had never felt death so close to herself.

A sincere heart was misplaced.

Just upon entering the game, she was treated as a pawn and a plaything.

She hates!

The sound of a Bullet being chambered rang in her ears, and her heart jolted.

In Guo Xiaoyun's mind, images seemed to appear, each depicting the paths she had walked.

Like a revolving lantern, they played frame by frame.

Childhood, youth, adulthood—scenes replayed.

The word "loneliness" can fully sum up her brief and dim life.

"I really... trust you..." Guo Xiaoyun closed her eyes, tears falling.

Bang!

The Bullet pierced straight through, entering her brain and splashing a Blood Flower.

Her body, weak, collapsed and crashed heavily onto the table.

Blood slowly spread, resembling a delicate flower, wildly blooming.

In the five-player game, three died.

Only two remained.

"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" Yun Peipei suddenly spoke.

"I am a materialist," Su Yang was puzzled by her nonsensical words.

"When I saw her die, I suddenly thought that these people were killed indirectly by us; if they become ghosts, they'd come after us, right?" Yun Peipei's long eyelashes fluttered.

"You seem to have mistaken; it's not 'we', it's only 'I'." Su Yang said lightly.

Yun Peipei turned her head, smiled, "Who gave you that illusion, the Magic Innate Talent?"

"Of course," Su Yang grinned.

The two stared at each other for a moment, resolve flashing in their eyes.

"I'm a bit curious; I disguised myself well, so how did you discover it?" Yun Peipei asked.

"I simply don't believe in humanity," Su Yang said bluntly.

"Don't bring up such vague nonsense; you don't look like a philosopher either," Yun Peipei sneered.

Now she had completely torn off the disguise, no longer the fragile self.

On the contrary, her demeanor was rather cold, revealing her true nature.

"At first you cried and shouted to leave, then the rules sent you back; that's one point," Su Yang extended a Finger.

"A cowardly woman doesn't want to die—what's the problem?" Yun Peipei was puzzled.

"When I played Secret Room escape games, I've seen many timid girls; their behavior was like yours, always trying to flee danger."

"But your action was too blunt, running straight for the exit; that's abnormal."

"When the cage descended, the rules were already hinted, so even the most timid or stupid could guess escape was impossible."

"Moreover, that mysterious teleportation force brought you and me to the tavern, which should dispel most doubts."

"If you were truly afraid, the first thing to do would be to discuss how to escape without playing the game," Su Yang said slowly.

"Because of these?" Yun Peipei knit her brows.

"Of course not only that; during the game, Zhao San's clash with Guo Xiaoyun drew everyone's attention, so your position naturally became a blind spot," Su Yang extended a second Finger.

"So what's the flaw?" Yun Peipei awkwardly pressed her lips.

"When no one was watching you, I observed you several times; your expression and gaze were all very calm," Su Yang tossed all the cards onto the table center and continued:

"Only when it's your turn to play a card do you show fear and hesitation, thinking of continuing the deception, right?"

Yun Peipei opened her mouth to speak, but Su Yang cut her off.

"I guess you've been waiting for the players, including me, to trigger their Innate Talent and gather information."

"During that four‑plus‑minute stare‑off... if I'm not mistaken, you were waiting for Liu Ming's Reminder."

"In the end you got it; he softened in the end."

Yun Peipei's plan, like unwinding silk, gradually unraveled.

"You're smarter than I imagined; after all these years of acting, I never fooled you," Yun Peipei said, somewhat surprised.

"Actually, up to now I remain skeptical; the point you truly exposed lies in Liu Ming's death," Su Yang said, watching the NPC collect the cards for a new round of shuffling.

Yun Peipei recalled that at that moment she indeed stopped playing the naive role.

All she thought about was how to gain Su Yang's trust.

But she never expected him to cooperate with Guo Xiaoyun, forcing her to reveal her Innate Talent.

"I see, no wonder you agreed to that flirtatious woman's request," Yun Peipei said coldly.

"Your fabricated appearance indeed easily provokes a protective instinct; your plan must be to make others clash, then reap the results and catch them off guard, right?" Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Yun Peipei gave a cool smile, not denying, "Aren't you the same? Silent, turning yourself into an external position."

"In this kind of game, the more you talk, the easier you are to see through, and likewise, the easier you become a target," Su Yang nodded without taking a stance.

"Zhao San deserved to be the first to die; he talked too much and was too flamboyant," Yun Peipei stared at Zhao San's corpse, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Indeed, had he not conflicted with Guo Xiaoyun, she would never have activated her Innate Talent to kill him.

Similarly, Guo Xiaoyun's madness also made her a focal point.

That's why Liu Ming schemed to eliminate her.

The taciturn Su Yang and the outwardly fragile Yun Peipei escaped the disaster.

No one can stay calm at all times.

Human nature is one aspect, and emotions also make up the overwhelming majority.

"Only the two of us are left, could you let me go?" Yun Peipei immediately showed a pitiful, delicate expression, evoking sympathy.

"Of course, as long as I don't lose six times, I won't die." Su Yang said with an indifferent posture.

【Deception】 Innate Talent activation successful, Bullet position Transform.

Yun Peipei carefully chewed over Su Yang's words and suddenly caught the key point.

She instantly widened her eyes, "Can you relocate the Bullet's position?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I be a magician?" Su Yang smiled confidently.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a sound came from inside Su Yang's revolver on the table.

"That's impossible, you're changing the rules!" Yun Peipei's face was full of disbelief.

"Strictly speaking it isn't a change; the Bullet still exists, and I have at most five chances." Su Yang wore an innocent expression.

"I don't believe your Innate Talent can achieve this level." Yun Peipei shook her head.

"Try it and you'll know." Su Yang held the cards, didn't even look at them, and tossed out three at once.

"Open me."

This round's Vision Perception was "Queen", and Yun Peipei saw Su Yang had not activated his Innate Talent, and even without looking at the cards he directly played three.

"Do you think I'd be foolish enough to fall into a trap?" Yun Peipei said cautiously; she would never be stupid.

If this is Su Yang's plot, wouldn't it mean getting shot?

"One 'Queen'!" Yun Peipei tossed out a card.

"Open!" Su Yang didn't think, just slapped the table.

The card flipped, and it was a Q!

"Congratulations, I lost." Su Yang laughed, raising his revolver and pointing it at his Brain.

Yun Peipei watched this suicidal method, feeling a bit bewildered, a bit excited, and a bit nervous.

The reason was none other than Su Yang's overconfidence, so great that he didn't keep life and death in his sight.

"He couldn't possibly know the Bullet's position, let alone Control the Bullet." Yun Peipei thought.

"But when the Bullet was chambered, Guo Xiaoyun didn't die; instead she killed Zhao San, could it be that…"

Before she could formulate a reason, Su Yang had already pulled the trigger.

Click!

The gunshot never sounded, and Su Yang's face showed not a hint of fear.

"Is that strange?" Su Yang placed the revolver on the table, his Mouth curled upward, "From now on, this is my home ground!"
