Chapter 642: Wild Boar Tooth? They're All Dead!

~6 min read 1,192 words

Lie?

Su Yang's face remained unchanged, while ripples rose in his heart.

He guessed correctly; Tang Youning indeed knows something.

In front of the crowd he pointed out his background, but he didn't make it especially explicit.

It's easy to see that if Su Yang truly is that hidden Easter Egg, then Tang Youning doesn't want others to lay claim to him.

At the same time, he used this seemingly unintentional manner to warn others—

Be careful of being deceived!

"Lie is human nature; ask yourself honestly, could Brother Tang really have never told a lie?" Su Yang said calmly.

"You know what I'm saying; stop playing dumb—any player qualified to sit here isn't a fool," Tang Youning said bluntly.

"If you don't want to hear my nonsense, why not just force my Mouth shut?" Su Yang said with a half‑smile.

Their gazes burned like torches, sparking.

What seemed like ordinary verbal clash secretly revealed a wealth of information.

This pre‑game Reminder undoubtedly sent many signals to the other players.

Su Yang's Innate Talent is related to Lie.

Tang Youning's Innate Talent is linked to keeping silent.

The listening players' eyes flickered as they silently recorded this crucial information.

For them, they hoped the two would tear apart more secrets.

It would be best to strip the opponent's underwear, so they could be warned in advance.

No one expected that in a Death Game, they could encounter a pair of foes.

Of course, some still didn't fully trust.

What if this is a scene staged by the two themselves?

Saying it deliberately to lead them to a preconceived notion.

Truth and falsehood intertwine, falsehood and truth intertwine.

Suspicion is an inevitable human habit.

Especially as Su Yang said—Lie is human nature!

"Hehe…" Tang Youning let out an odd laugh, then rose and left his seat.

Before leaving, he waved his hand and said, "Then let's see the true proof in action; our grudges will finally be clarified."

Bang!

The main door slammed shut; Su Yang glanced at his upper body, already dry, grabbed his clothes and left.

The remaining six sized each other up, and the Countess spoke up: "This game is mixed with personal grudges, so the situation is easily swayed by those two's emotions."

"I hope everyone can analyze rationally; after all the game has a time limit, and voting incorrectly will compress the players' Survival space."

The middle‑aged Security Guard with a national‑character face nodded: "Especially the voting stage, it's most prone to emotional sway."

The dark‑skinned Coachman said, "These two clashed from the start; they might deliberately fabricate false information later, so everyone should keep a Heart Eye."

The pony‑tailed Maid glanced toward the main door and said, "Another possibility… they teamed up to act, deliberately using this method to confuse us."

"Regardless, when the game officially starts, please keep your eyes sharp; this game will shape the future landscape. You've all seen the rules, and Looting Dependents is no small matter," the Countess said.

—————

A room on the first floor of the Ancient Castle.

Su Yang stood before the display window, appraising the Treasure Collection inside.

"Deer Head, Tiger Skin, Pangolin…"

Under the dim yellow light, the animal carcasses revealed a pre‑life vitality, especially the Deer Head's eyes, bright as black gems, captivating the soul.

"This is the Count's Loot Treasure Collection room, clearly showing his fondness for hunting,"

"Given that, it suggests this Ancient Castle likely hides hunting rifles…" Su Yang mused.

Yet he hadn't found a single Luoshi about firearms along the way.

There are twelve rooms on the first floor, including an enormous kitchen, a Reception Hall, and a dining area.

The overall layout is fairly orderly.

Although the game hasn't started, these ten hours are golden time.

Once it begins, all layouts will inevitably change.

Then players will need to spot differences through the before‑and‑after changes.

A gameplay similar to "Spot the Difference".

Remember every detail.

Tang Youning did the same, but he first went to the Second Floor, so the two didn't meet.

Su Yang was too lazy to entangle further with him.

In a game where you can't kill directly, Brain and Mouth are the keys.

Tang Youning also seized on this point, daring to speak boldly.

Otherwise, what if you met Su Yang in the Seven-Day World for a test?

One punch could turn him into a fish swimming in the sea.

Just as Su Yang prepared to leave the room, a flash in the Corner of Eye suddenly caught a strange sight.

"Hmm?"

He turned his head, stared, and saw a Tooth lying conspicuously in the wall corner.

Su Yang stepped forward, picked it up, and examined it in his hand.

This tooth is about two centimeters long, and from its shape it appears to be a sharp tooth of some beast.

The tip shows irregular concave‑convex marks, clearly broken off by a hard snap.

Su Yang looked around, his gaze fixing on a display window.

In the light, a huge Wild Boar Head hung there, its black hair exuding a wild aura.

Leaning forward and looking up, he saw a missing segment in the Wild Boar's mouth teeth.

"Wild Boar tooth?" Su Yang furrowed his brow.

How could a beast's head tooth stored in a showcase end up on the ground?

In any other game, Su Yang would not have questioned it at all.

But this game's theme is to find the murderer, and he cannot miss any suspicious clue.

Lacking sufficient means of proof for now, he had to pocket the tooth and wait for further discoveries.

So far, he has obtained a Silver Coin and a tooth.

Other players surely have found things too, but information isn't shared, and Su Yang cannot yet complete the puzzle.

"Squeak—"

At that moment, the room door opened.

The square‑faced Security Guard walked in, saw Su Yang's slight start, and immediately nodded.

Su Yang, without showing any emotion, brushed past him; a sudden sound came from behind, "Have you checked the kitchen?"

"I'm about to go," Su Yang replied.

"That place has a bit of evil nature; you'd better keep an extra eye on it," the Security Guard reminded.

Su Yang turned his head and saw him openly open the display case, reaching in to touch what lay inside.

Seeing this, his brow knit, "Evil nature?"

"It's like a haunting, very scary; the few players who went in with me didn't want to stay even a moment."

"You're a Cook, so you should see the place where you work," he said.

Su Yang felt a stir in his heart and asked, "Thanks for the reminder, what should I call you?"

"I am surnamed Li, given name Zhenhua."

Li Zhenhua took the Deer Head off, examined it closely, then looked up and laughed, "The older generation names people like that; in our village there are many called Jian Guo and Jian She."

"I am Su Yang."

"'Ascend God' Seed that young is rare; it seems your parents cultivated you quite excellently," Li Zhenhua said.

"Parents?" Su Yang's eyes showed doubt, but he quickly returned to normal.

"They are both dead."
