Chapter 179: This Murder Plot... And a Sixth Person!

Linshuyu listened, bewildered, and couldn't help asking, "Is all this arranged by Tang Youning? Did they already intend to kill Huangfu Shu?"

Su Yang nodded slightly, "At least from the timeline, they harbored the intent to kill earlier than you."

"No…" Linshuyu's thoughts suddenly tangled, "Why would they kill Huangfu Shu before the Partner Information appears?"

That doesn't make sense.

Although this is indeed a Death Game.

But not every game centers on killing.

Random killing might cause the game's progression to change.

"Didn't you already mention—three people act together." Su Yang retorted.

Linshuyu's pupils trembled at the words, "Is this part of the game's mechanics?"

"Correct!" Su Yang snapped his fingers.

"He has figured out the game's mechanics, intends to use it to disrupt the game's order, prearrange a room for Huangfu Shu, and eliminate him…" Linshuyu looked as if discovering a New Continent, face full of disbelief.

She didn't expect anyone to be so scheming!

Linshuyu suddenly felt that the greatest threat was changing again.

From Jiang Hua to Su Yang, then from Su Yang turning into Tang Youning.

That seemingly honest, simple man who never even knows how to date.

Who turned out to be the most terrifying existence.

"Did Jiang Hua receive his instruction?" Linshuyu asked.

"Rather than instruction, I lean toward a hint," Su Yang said.

Linshuyu's eyes widened, "I get it, Tang Youning already knew they had Dual Personality, planning to use a knife to kill!"

Su Yang nodded, "Even if you don't propose, Jiang Hua would speak up on their own."

"Is this a coincidence?"

"I never believe coincidences exist; don't forget, Huangfu Shu's room happens to be exposed within visible range."

"How does Tang Youning know my Innate Talent?"

That is also the point Su Yang is puzzled about.

He has disclosed so much to Linshuyu, just to find an answer.

If this unknown node can be cleared, all Information Gaps will vanish.

"Have you ever told anyone your Innate Talent?" Su Yang asked after a while.

"Of course not, I'm not stupid."

"Then have you ever had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?"

"Definitely…"

Linshuyu felt Su Yang's question was odd, and just as they were about to deny it, a strange feeling sprouted inside.

"Sure enough…"

Su Yang looked at her bewildered expression, understanding in his heart.

She fell for it.

Linshuyu stared at the Small Knife in Su Yang's hand, whispering, "I think… I actually did that."

The memory seems to have become scrambled.

She tried hard to recall, but had no way to start.

But intuition told her something had happened before, and it involved a weapon!

"Even if I told a girl my Innate Talent, how could Tang Youning know it immediately?" Linshuyu asked.

"You know I'm an old acquaintance of Xu Yutong, right?"

"I know, she mentioned it after the first date."

"The chance of meeting acquaintances in a Death Game is tiny; at least for me it's the first time so far." Su Yang, seeing her growing solemnity, continued:

"The number of players in the cage is decreasing, but with a huge base number supporting it, the probability of meeting acquaintances remains low."

"But it doesn't rule out that two pairs simultaneously hit the jackpot."

Linshuyu, upon hearing this, suddenly realized, "Tang Youning and…"

Su Yang interjected, "Suppose, I mean suppose—"

"At the very start of the game, a player would stop at nothing to pry out the other players' Innate Talents and inform someone they know."

"That acquaintance used the Innate Talent to pass through thick fog, delightedly meeting another familiar person, and learned of this murder plan from them."

"An operation targeting an Unlucky Egg begins now!"

Linshuyu's heart raced, breath suddenly halted, "How could it be so coincidental?"

Su Yang spread his hands, "I told you, it's just a hypothesis."

Although it sounds absurd, applying it to the current scenario's logic does make sense.

Zhao Huaillei possesses the ability to traverse the void.

And Linshuyu indeed has a sense of déjà vu.

If she had already known her Innate Talent and informed Tang Youning.

The latter could fully arrange a room for Huangfu Shu based on the current situation.

After that, he only needs to give a hint, letting Jiang Hua's Second Personality handle it.

Thus, Linshuyu would naturally become involved.

And all this was initiated by her voluntarily, with others merely cooperating.

On the surface she appears as the planner, but in fact she is merely a pawn set up by others.

At that thought, Linshuyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cavern, and a sudden sense of helplessness rose in her heart.

This as well…

Too terrifying!

That night she was still smug about having killed Huangfu Shu.

Looking back now, the one who should be snickering the most is probably Tang Youning?

"Then how do you plan to drive away wolves and swallow tigers?" Linshuyu asked anxiously, wanting to know the answer.

"Why should I tell you?" Su Yang said with a slight smile.

"We could cooperate; they have long been twisted into one rope, so why don't we do the same?" Linshuyu said urgently.

"I'm curious… why do you believe everything I say?" Su Yang asked.

"Because it makes a lot of sense," Linshuyu replied as if it were obvious.

"What if these are all stories I fabricated, intending to use you?" Su Yang said with a smiling tone.

Linshuyu opened her Mouth, speechless.

She certainly couldn't say this is a woman's first?

Su Yang's Reasoning, though flawed in logic, overall matches the mindset of a schemer.

She now knows she is a pawn and anxiously wants to extricate herself.

"I have my own judgment," Linshuyu said, lightly biting her lower lip.

"A triangle possesses sharpness; that point is indeed correct," Su Yang's Smile on his face deepened a few more degrees.

"If I'm not mistaken, if the other three girls went on a date with me, they certainly wouldn't bring a Sharp Blade, nor would they think of dragging me into the water."

"Only you… were terribly unlucky to have run into me."

"And you even thought you could cleverly get rid of me."

"Your relationships are indeed solid, but they are smarter than you."

Linshuyu remained silent, her fists clenched tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly.

At that moment, a flash of Sharp Blade wrapped in Cold Light appeared before her eyes.

Linshuyu looked up and saw Su Yang pointing the handle of the Small Knife at her, "The wisest decision you made today is that you didn't act rashly."

"You should thank your own rationality."

She slowly secured the knife, stared for a moment, and sluggishly placed it back into her bag.

"But you don't need to worry too much; Jiang Hua at least isn't on their side," Su Yang said.

"You intend to use Jiang Hua against Tang Youning?" Linshuyu asked curiously.

"Beyond that, I'd rather have the one hiding in the darkest corner reveal themselves," Su Yang said slowly.

"Who?"

Su Yang stroked his chin, "I wonder if you remember how Huangfu Shu died."

"Of course, I was the one who killed him."

"Based on the information you just gave, I thought it over carefully again; it seems we never knew what his Innate Talent was from start to finish."

"Perhaps he never had a chance to use it?"

"That's possible, but I lean toward the idea that he already used it, escaped successfully, yet someone who didn't want him alive tried to kill him again."

"What?!" Linshuyu's heart jolted.

Su Yang crossed his hands, a flash of brilliance flashing in his eyes, "This murder scheme…"

"…and there's a sixth person!"
