Chapter 195: Shocking secret! You are now

"The second round officially begins."

"Please, player 'Jiang Hua', begin selecting a partner. Time limit is 20 minutes; overtime will be considered a forfeit." The Minotaur spoke.

As the words fell, people's spirits were lifted.

The real main event...

Had arrived!

"Since the previous round was evaluated based on the choice on the covered bridge, then this round should be based on each person's partner information, right?" Jiang Hua scanned the room.

No one responded.

Everyone was digesting this nearly absurd piece of information just now.

How was this any different from exploiting a bug?

What the predecessor did had nothing to do with him.

Yet he could inherit what the predecessor had obtained.

This was too shameless.

Just based on the fact that he couldn't be selected, he was already in an invincible position.

No matter who chose him, it was a waste of an opportunity.

Then even if he did nothing, he could clear the stage.

The only difference was the number of achievements unlocked.

"Why is everyone silent?" Jiang Hua teased.

He cast his gaze toward Su Yang, who was lost in thought, "What do you think, this 'highly intelligent' player?"

Su Yang came back to his senses and said calmly, "Naturally."

"Where did your composure and confidence from just now go? Why are you wilted now? This doesn't look like you." Jiang Hua joked.

"I was thinking, since it's 'one body, two personalities,' and you two are independent existences, then you also can't select other people, right?" Su Yang said.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked up, a flash of brilliance in their eyes.

"You want to try?" Jiang Hua said with his usual expression.

"If I remember correctly, you two are not only independent existences, but your memories also cannot be shared." Su Yang said slowly.

Jiang Hua's expression stiffened slightly, "Who told you this?"

"Judging from your performance and reaction just now, you are nearly a stranger to the players here. Apart from Wang Ning, whom you've dated, you know nothing about the others." Su Yang said.

"Me?" Wang Ning pointed at herself.

"During the last date, your boyfriend wasn't the original Jiang Hua, but him." Su Yang nodded slightly.

Wang Ning recalled carefully, looked up at Jiang Hua, and couldn't merge him with the him from that day no matter what.

"That's not right, although Sister Ning hasn't seen Jiang Hua's first personality, she also learned from our mouths what kind of person he is, so she shouldn't be unable to distinguish him." Xu Yutong asked in confusion.

"The key isn't what he says, but what he does." Su Yang raised his eyes slightly and continued:

"To be precise, he retains some consciousness of the first personality, but the main body is still controlled by him."

"So during the date, Sister Ning must have felt a discordant sense of fragmentation."

Wang Ning frowned; she had indeed felt strange places and had kept an eye on them, but she hadn't thought in this direction at all.

Who could have imagined that a sunny big boy had a second person living inside his body?

No matter how active one's brain was, one wouldn't infer such a possibility.

Now hearing Su Yang say this, she immediately sensed something strange.

"So the person who dated me yesterday was actually the current Jiang Hua?" Wang Ning felt a shock in her heart.

"To be precise, it was a date completed by the two of them together." Su Yang's mouth curved into an unfathomable arc.

Immediately, he turned his head and asked, "Am I... right?"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Jiang Hua's gloomy brows, "Because of the drunkenness yesterday noon?"

"Beer isn't enough to make one drunk, and your first personality vaguely guessed your existence; he wanted to use this method to leave a retreat for you." Su Yang said.

"You don't understand him at all!" Jiang Hua said sharply.

"I don't understand, nor do I need to." Su Yang touched his shoulder, which was aching faintly, "But I know human nature; he didn't want to die, and he wanted even less for the person who had always protected him to die."

"So he came up with this desperate move, letting you also have a chance to participate in the game."

"It can also be considered as taking out an insurance policy for himself."

"Even if he dies, he can still leave some embers."

"Shut up!" Jiang Hua scolded loudly, took a deep breath, and his body trembled slightly, "If it weren't for you, how would he have fallen to that point?"

Su Yang shook his head: "He must have felt that he was sick, sometimes unable to control his own behavior; perhaps he noticed this long before the death game."

"A person who harbors kindness, yet has survived four death games, this in itself doesn't conform to common sense."

"It's you who have been helping him, lifting him to a height that doesn't belong to him."

"Although your memories cannot be shared, there will always be subconscious memories of what you've done. The brain can lie, but the body won't."

"So he drank, to a large extent, to verify this point."

"Coincidentally, you appeared."

"And signs of competing for control of the body appeared."

The more Jiang Hua heard, the gloomier his face became, "I've discovered that you are truly first-class at making up stories."

Su Yang watched the blue light flickering in his eyes and smiled, "Eyes won't lie."

"Lie Detection"?!

The crowd suddenly understood, and their backs couldn't help but be soaked with sweat.

How could they have imagined that a pervert was hidden in this game?

"How did you see all these things?" Xu Yutong asked in astonishment.

Su Yang clasped his hands and continued: "On the morning Huangfu Shu died, I asked Jiang Hua and confirmed that he wasn't the killer, nor was he an accomplice."

"But the logic didn't match up; I judged that at least five people participated in this murder case."

"Brother Ning alone couldn't have killed someone silently, and the room was so tidy, without a trace of struggle."

"There were only three people in the boys' dorm; excluding my participation, only Brother Ning and Jiang Hua remained."

"On the girls' side, the only ones who could participate were at most Lin Shuyu and Sister Lei, so where did this fifth person come from?"

"Men and women can't meet outside of dating hours, so this fifth person must have come from our side."

"Sister Ning once heard Jiang Hua arguing with Huangfu Shu, and the words 'betting life' were also said when Jiang Hua changed his face."

"Either Jiang Hua secretly brought someone in, or he hid someone inside his body."

"And this person also possessed a talent."

Tang Youning's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't refute this.

Things were already a foregone conclusion; lying now was meaningless.

Because everyone who participated in the murder plan, except for Lin Shuyu, was present.

"I did it, so what?" Jiang Hua admitted frankly.

"Then things are easy to handle. You were an accomplice in killing Huangfu Shu; in a sense, you can also be considered a part of the game." Su Yang said.

"Are you saying the rules counted me in?" Jiang Hua seemed to have heard an absurd joke, so he asked back:

"Then why didn't it calculate performance points for me?"

The crowd looked at each other, thinking this layer of logic was wrong.

"Him killing Huangfu Shu can only count as a personal act, it has nothing to do with the date itself, right?" Xu Yutong asked curiously.

"The key point lies in 'three people traveling together'; who was the first person to enjoy this treatment?" Su Yang said faintly.

"Jiang Hua?" Zhao Huaillei and Xu Yutong said in unison.

"I initially thought this was a bug in the game, because Huangfu Shu's death caused a female player to lose her matching partner, forcing her to squeeze into a date."

"But after the incident of him being drunk, I realized things weren't that simple."

"Because he killed Huangfu Shu and participated in the game, he replaced Huangfu Shu's position and arranged the originally matched female player for himself." Su Yang raised his eyelids slightly.

Immediately, his fingertips tapped the table lightly, "You aren't unable to be selected."

"Your role now is no longer 'Jiang Hua'."

"But 'Huangfu Shu'!" ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
