Chapter 33

Five minutes passed in a flash.

Guo Bing's ability cooldown ended, and he chambered a round.

"Go, you only have 15 minutes," Su Yang said.

"I know. Kill Yu Yue first, and leave the remaining one for you," Guo Bing gave a cold, sinister smile, the scar on his face wriggling like a worm as his facial muscles twitched.

"If you can't find them, you should know what to do," Su Yang said, watching his departing figure.

"Don't worry, wait for my good news!" Guo Bing waved his hand and laughed wildly: "The werewolf's slaughter feast officially begins!"

After he left, Su Yang looked at the two corpses lying on the ground.

Kong Feixue had been shot to death; he had seen it with his own eyes, so there was no doubt about that.

Cheng Yurou's death seemed to be due to a gunshot wound to the abdomen; the blood had long since coagulated, turning into black-red scabs.

Her eyeballs had already been gouged out by Kong Feixue, her skin was pale, and obvious lividity had appeared on the extremities of her limbs.

"Judging from the time Yu Yue left at night, the time of death should be 12 hours ago..." Su Yang touched the corpse's arm and found it had already stiffened.

This was the common state of rigor mortis.

He flipped the body over and pulled up the clothes to check the back, finding that due to gravity, lividity had also appeared on her back.

The bullet had struck the abdomen and exited through the back, blowing out a hole the size of a fist.

The flesh was turned outward, and the skin tissue was torn.

From the outside, this was the most normal way to die from a gunshot wound.

But as Su Yang thought back to Kong Feixue's performance when she ate the mission item, he sensed something was wrong.

"Vultures eating corpses—judging by the rules, the judgment should be made the moment they enter the mouth," Su Yang looked at the lividity on the corpse and fell into deep thought.

Kong Feixue's movements were very fast; she had completed the act before the three of them even fired their guns.

Yet the game did not end; instead, the vulture was killed.

This did not make sense.

At that moment, while feeling relieved, Su Yang had noticed this point.

"Could it be that she didn't eat the corpse of Number 3?" Su Yang frowned.

No, Zhou Han wouldn't have lied to her about this.

If Kong Feixue didn't eat Number 3, then Number 14 must be the murderer.

And their identity must be a professional assassin or a bird-eating duck.

The information Zhou Han revealed before he died could be used to infer that Kong Feixue only identified one wolf.

"Since that point doesn't hold up, where exactly does the problem lie?" Su Yang would not suspect that the game had a bug.

This was not a game created by writing code, but a world controlled by a supreme existence.

Within the rules, no one is spared.

"Hm?"

Just as Su Yang touched the wound, he suddenly heard an extremely faint sound.

This sound was very light, so light that he even suspected he was hallucinating.

Su Yang took a deep breath and held it, slowly leaning over Cheng Yurou's body, closing his eyes to listen.

"Thump..."

Sure enough!

He heard it; this was not noise coming from inside the factory, but the genuine sound of a heartbeat!

"Thump!"

It happened again!

Su Yang had not heard wrong; this was a signal emitted by a human body.

He slowly stood up, looking at the corpse in front of him in shock.

An unbelievable thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Cheng Yurou wasn't dead?

She was faking her death!

"No wonder the game didn't end after Kong Feixue ate the mission item..."

"So she wasn't eating a corpse at all, but the eyeballs of a living person!"

Everything was explained; Cheng Yurou had used some method to enter a state of feigned death.

She had tried to muddle through, letting Yu Yue trick her into coming here to be killed.

Su Yang retreated a few steps in a daze, his heart suddenly tightening.

Behind all this, there was actually an even bigger conspiracy!

The most terrifying thing was that she had actually been able to endure such long-lasting pain, and by gritting her teeth, she had let Kong Feixue gouge out her eyeballs without making a sound!

"What is her identity? Why would she do this?" Only these two questions remained in Su Yang's mind.

Obviously, faking her death must have had her own purpose and scheme.

It was certainly for the sake of victory.

A feigned death had even deceived the mandatory meeting.

This method was not impossible, just as in the Cheater's Tavern, where Guo Xiaoyun had deceived the rules by manipulating the size of her limbs.

Su Yang's heart was greatly shaken, because he now saw something very terrifying.

He saw Cheng Yurou's body bending at a strange angle, her spine arching like a half-moon, and the lividity on her body rapidly fading.

Her skin became rosy again, the wound on her abdomen remained, but her heart had returned to a normal rhythm.

"Hoo!" Cheng Yurou opened her eyes abruptly and took a long breath.

It was as if she were adapting to her body after being reborn.

"She came back to life?" Su Yang subconsciously stepped back a few paces.

He had only ever seen this kind of scene on television.

Those who were bitten to death by zombies were in the same state after turning.

Cheng Yurou took a few breaths, turned her head, and her remaining eyeball stared at Su Yang, her mouth curling into a weird smile.

The next moment, she supported herself on the ground with her legs, her upper body bent as she walked toward Su Yang.

Her posture was exactly like the walking movement of an abnormal titan.

"Are you human or a ghost?" Su Yang pulled the slide, disengaged the safety, and was about to put a bullet in her head.

But when he actually pulled the trigger, he realized.

The cooldown time hadn't ended yet!

"Me... of course I'm human." Cheng Yurou spoke in a human voice, very hoarse, like the sound of metal rubbing together.

"Don't move, I'll shoot if you come any closer!" Su Yang kept retreating.

"Stop lying, your bullets are still on cooldown, you can't kill anyone at all, right?" Cheng Yurou giggled.

Her originally pleasant voice now sounded like the sound of cutting wood.

Extremely ear-piercing!

"My cooldown will be over soon; in your current state, you probably can't make it back to the church for the meeting on time, right?" Su Yang's brain spun wildly.

Is she a werewolf?

No.

Zhou Han was a confirmed bomb wolf, and Guo Bing was the assassin wolf.

Number 14 was the werewolf who had been voted out.

A 16-person board couldn't possibly have 4 wolves.

Moreover, if she were a wolf, there would be no need to hide and fake her death to deceive people.

There was even less need to press Su Yang step by step.

"Why would I need to go to the meeting? I waited so long just for you." A 'click-clack' sound came from Cheng Yurou's body, and her bent spine miraculously recovered.

He saw her straighten her upper body, her blood-stained face looking like a ghost, extremely chilling.

Especially the smile hanging on her face, which made her look even more terrifying.

"Waiting for me? The werewolves are already in a winning position, you don't need to struggle anymore." Su Yang tried to extract valuable information from her.

"Is that so? Then stand still and don't move." The blood pumped by Cheng Yurou's heart flowed throughout her body, her muscles gradually shedding their stiffness and regaining their original mobility.

She walked a few steps toward Su Yang, her mobility no different from a normal person.

This proved that she had successfully ended her state of feigned death and returned to being a normal person!

Stand still?

Su Yang had thought of countless possibilities, but he had missed the number of people in each faction on the board!

At the beginning, everyone gathered in front of the stone tablet to check the identity introductions.

But no one knew the distribution of people in each faction.

It was just that the fat man had said there were 3 wolves and 3 neutrals, so everyone took it for granted that this was the case.

In fact, Su Yang had never questioned this either.

But now, hearing Cheng Yurou's words, he suddenly woke up.

Combining this with what Cheng Yurou had done, he reached a conclusion.

Su Yang's pupils shrank slightly, "You're the Pigeon?!"
