Chapter 275: How to Trigger the Eternal Night Early!
"Don't hold back, just say it!" Su Yang asked, pressing on.
"All you need is to find someone with a blood relation to Wei Zeming and perform a Sacrifice at night, and you can trigger the Eternal Night early." Lai Siyao said.
"The back mountain?" Su Yang's mind flickered.
"Hmm, the Sacrifice method is also simple: just like Wei Zeming, jump down from the building." Lai Siyao nodded.
Speaking of that, Su Yang suddenly recalled that Ruan Ziliang had once said that in recent years people had been jumping to their deaths from the old administration building.
The signs were completely blown up, and the school had no choice but to Blockade that side.
"So jumping off the building is the Sacrifice method for the third Checkpoint..." Su Yang furrowed his Brow.
"Not that day, right? We could just come tomorrow." Li Zhangge said.
"No! It must be tonight, and it has to be tonight!" Su Yang said in a low voice.
"What's the difference?" Li Zhangge asked, puzzled.
The game lasts a full five days, and it's only the second day now.
Their time is very ample.
"It's all about the Information Gap! Before the Guardians understand this piece of history, we must act, or we'll miss the opportunity," Su Yang said gravely.
Having played so many Death Games, he knows the Information Gap is the most crucial factor.
Not even one!
The more we know than other players, the greater the advantage.
That's why Su Yang can deploy early; he knows there are still two Checkpoints ahead.
Similarly, the Guardians only know that Treasure hunters cannot obtain the Treasure outside the Eternal Night period.
But they are unaware of this story and do not know the weak point of the strange artifact.
Precisely because of that, they won't risk coming down.
They will only use the school rules as an excuse outside.
Especially after each develops a trust crisis, the Guardians cannot achieve Information sharing.
Su Yang's conversation with Dong Ya also bought them enough time for the later delay.
Otherwise, how could Xue Yong enter the Passage so smoothly?
"So what do we do next? Where do we look for someone with a blood relation to Wei Zeming?" Li Zhangge said helplessly.
Wei Zeming died young, leaving no descendants.
Those with an indirect blood link to him are either descendants of his direct relatives or younger members of his extended family.
At this critical moment, they have neither leisure nor time to search.
"We don't need to look for them," Su Yang suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Li Zhangge was startled.
"We release the information, letting the Guardians hunt for them!" a spark flashed in Su Yang's eyes.
Upon hearing that, Li Zhangge instantly understood.
Following the usual logic, the game lasts five days, and the Eternal Night only opens on the third day.
During the other times, they cannot enter the final Checkpoint.
If he is a Guardian, he only needs to hold the Passage at all costs on the night of the third day, and the Treasure hunter will have no recourse.
At other times, even doing nothing, the Treasure remains undiscovered.
"Where is Wei Zeming from?" Su Yang asked.
"Luoshui Tujia Slope," Lai Siyao replied.
Su Yang chewed over it carefully for a moment, his gaze inevitably shifting to Ruan Ziliang, who was being scolded harshly by Qin Weiyang and dared not speak.
"Where is Luoshui No. 10 Middle School?"
"Not sure."
These past two days, he had vaguely heard in class that the two seemed connected.
Moreover, he sensed that Ruan Ziliang was an important figure.
From the start, he was curious about this seemingly ordinary boy.
The other not only knew all the school's urban legends, but also was aware of the Sacrifice.
"Wait... Wang Qi?!" Su Yang suddenly snapped awake.
He hurried to Ruan Ziliang's side and asked, "You said before that Wang Qi was your good friend, right?"
Ruan Ziliang, who wore a look of guilt from Qin Weiyang's scolding, was startled by the question and replied, "That's how it is, but we broke up when summer vacation started."
"Where is he from?"
"Tujia Slope."
Li Zhangge and Lai Siyao, who had followed, turned pale at the words!
"Who is Wang Qi?" Li Zhangge hurriedly asked.
Qin Weiyang didn't understand why the two reacted so strongly, but explained, "A person who doesn't know life or death, that's the butcher he Summons."
"Where is he?"
"He died yesterday."
What?
The three, including Ruan Ziliang, were all shocked.
"Wang Qi died?" Ruan Ziliang's face changed dramatically, "Didn't he go home?"
Su Yang also wanted to know the answer to that question.
But obviously, this farce was intentional.
Someone behind the scenes is fanning the flames, trying to hide Wang Qi's important identity.
At the same time, they also intend to use this method to eliminate Su Yang and Qin Weiyang.
"What a move, killing with a borrowed knife!" Su Yang sneered inwardly.
So it seems the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is now clear.
It must be the one with the greatest power among the Guardians.
The bewildered Qin Weiyang had no idea what they were talking about.
When Li Zhangge explained the matter once, they finally understood.
"So Wang Qi has a blood relation with Wei Zeming?" Qin Weiyang looked as if discovering a New Continent, face full of disbelief.
"The possibility is huge; if it spreads by village units, after a hundred years there would be at least three generations continuing."
"According to the algorithm, at least thirty percent of the whole village has some blood connection with Wei Zeming," Su Yang said.
Direct line, collateral line, distant relatives.
Regardless of which, any can become a condition for pre‑emptively triggering Eternal Night.
Wang Qi is one of those discovered.
"Are you also from Tujia Slope?" Qin Weiyang looked at the bewildered Ruan Ziliang.
"Um…"
As Qin Weiyang's gaze grew colder, he hurriedly added, "Our family moved here later, we have nothing to do with Wei Zeming."
"Can't be sure; what if your ancestors once intermarried with their clan?" Su Yang said.
Ruan Ziliang's face turned ashen, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"The scope is too broad, and the verification method is too difficult for us students," Li Zhangge frowned.
"That's why I said let the Guardians look for it; the administrative building must store the students' file information," Su Yang said slowly.
"Then what about our previous plan..." Qin Weiyang hesitated.
"The plan remains unchanged; the Guardians must kill!" Su Yang's eyes showed murderous intent.
This is a necessary condition for Clearance!
Even if they don't act on their own, the Guardians will still strike.
So far, the dormitory manager's hands haven't been stained with blood.
Su Yang knows deeply that if they keep waiting like this, their situation will only become more passive.
"We can't wait for tomorrow; we must act tonight!" Su Yang reminded again.
Li Zhangge, fully aware of the seriousness, took a deep breath and said, "You tell me, what should we do?"
Su Yang took Qin Weiyang's hand and glanced at the watch—10:40.
"You still have to go to the monitoring room, but this time you must arrive 40 minutes early and put this on the table."
As he said, he handed over two pages of diary.
"Isn't that a bit too rushed?" Li Zhangge asked.
"Not rushed at all; we need to leave time for Dong Ya to buffer," Su Yang's mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, he finally understood why Tang Hui went to the back mountain late at night.
"This Clash..."
"It's time to bring it to a conclusion!"
