Chapter 652: Are You Playing Me? The

The nearby Security Guard and Coachman sensed something was wrong and hurried forward to check.

"This... what kind of ghost thing is this?"

"It's neither English nor Chinese characters; how could this happen?"

The two were utterly baffled; this was the first time they'd encountered such a situation.

Normally, even in the most ancient and novel Death Game, the concrete text would appear in Chinese characters.

But this time there was no 'Hanization'?!

Su Yang calmly slipped the photo into his bag and said lightly, "Brother Tang, no need to thank me. If you have the ability to decipher the content above, why should I ask about it at all?"

"Are you playing me?" Tang Youning said in a deep voice, his face extremely grim.

He arrived one step later than Su Yang, and the initiative was snatched away.

For a player, this is a major taboo!

Especially in this kind of Death Game that relies on solving cases.

The information each side obtains is unequal.

The same Luoshi leads to different conclusions when viewed by different people.

"You've labeled me again; I don't have such great ability," Su Yang said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders, and continued:

"Actually I only just learned that the Photo Frame hides a Letter; rather than conceal it, I should thank you for uncovering this big secret."

Tang Youning clenched the Letter in his hand tightly, almost crushing it into a ball.

But he quickly calmed his emotions, looked toward the Passage Su Yang used to enter, and the books stored on the Bookshelf involuntarily flashed in his mind.

"Brother Su seems to have missed a point... just one dictionary, and I could decipher this secret."

"Dictionary?" Su Yang raised an Eyebrow, scoffing aloud, "Did you also learn from the dead to eat Rotten Meat and become confused? How could a dictionary contain Chinese characters?"

"Could it be... Brother Tang has a powerful Learning Ability, able to master a brand-new language within a day?"

"If you truly have such great capability, then I, Su, apologize for my earlier remarks."

Tang Youning's complexion changed slightly, his heart filled with countless anger.

He was once again dismissed by Su Yang!

"Then let's keep things as they are; everyone, big fellow, don't solve any puzzles, just play like headless flies," Tang Youning said, throwing his hands up in defeat.

"The Letter's content may be inconsequential; instead of focusing on it, better to spend more time searching for the dead's identity information," Su Yang said calmly.

Just as the two's gazes collided, sparks flying, a sound suddenly came from above.

"Did you find the dead's residence?"

The four all looked up together and saw the Countess with one hand pressing her lapel, leaning down to look.

"Just found it; someone here knows but didn't report, deliberately set off a smoke bomb to delay time, trying to conceal the news," Tang Youning said.

From above, the four jumped down in turn; they looked around, all surprised and sympathetic at the poor condition of the dead's living environment.

"Who discovered it first?" Liang Kaiqi asked curiously.

"Besides our most adept liar Su Yang, who else could it be?" Tang Youning said in an odd tone.

Liang Kaiqi was startled, turned her head toward Su Yang.

"Right after you left, I found the mechanism in the area you were responsible for," Su Yang spread his hands.

"The mechanism is on the Bookshelf?" Liang Kaiqi asked.

"The dead did not die peacefully; her gaze fixed on the Bookshelf. At first I suspected she wanted to hint at the deeper meaning of the Silver Coin, and by a twist of fate I accidentally found the mechanism," Su Yang explained.

"So this place is the key!" Zhai Sixin said.

"The key point doesn't stop there; there's also this Letter in my hand," Tang Youning displayed the crumpled Letter.

"What does the Letter say?" Li Zhenhua asked hurriedly.

"Unfortunately, I'm shallow in talent and learning, and can't understand the content above," Tang Youning feigned regret, shaking his head.

"Let me see," Zhai Sixin extended her slender hand.

Tang Youning pondered for a moment, then chose to hand it over.

Zhai Sixin spread the Letter, smoothed its wrinkles, lowered her gaze to read, her slender eyebrows tightly furrowed.

"This is not a diary," she said.

"Where does that come from?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"There's no timestamp above; the content is roughly written in a dialogue form," Zhai Sixin explained.

Upon hearing this, the seven people were all startled.

"Can you understand it?" the Coachman breathed heavily, his face slightly flushed.

Zhai Sixin did not respond immediately; her lips moved slightly as if she were translating.

The others neither disturbed nor pressed further, but waited with great patience.

They also inspected the Cellar here, finding no substantive Luoshi.

From the dead's final pose, it was clear she must have hidden some crucial evidence here, to help later seekers find the murderer!

Then...

If Su Yang, who arrived here first, hadn't tampered.

This Letter is the top priority!

After a quick read, Zhai Sixin let out a long sigh, "I won't hide it from you; my Innate Talent is 'Interpretation', enabling me to discern deep meaning from things and texts."

What?!

Everyone, including Su Yang, was stunned.

To think such an Innate Talent exists?

Noticing the others' confusion, Zhai Sixin explained, "This Innate Talent is rather useless in other Death Games; I usually use it to interpret the rules."

Now it's just the right time to use it, and it counts as making full use of it.

How do we know whether you can truly interpret? Tang Youning expressed strong doubt.

In other words, even if you really can interpret, how would I know whether you deliberately fabricated false content.

When the others cannot access the Letter's true content, basically whatever Zhai Sixin says is what it is.

No one can Vision Perception it, therefore no one can refute it.

If Zhai Sixin maliciously fabricates that the Count has always harbored malice toward her…

Then Tang Youning would have to be subjected to Hang Execution tonight, wouldn't he?

All content leaves traces; whether I Lie, I trust that the big guy's intelligence and experience can Vision Perception it.

Moreover, if I fabricate a non-existent fact out of thin air, the only one harmed would be myself.

Of course, you can also not believe it; just treat this Letter as if it never existed, Zhai Sixin said.

Upright does not fear a slanted Shadow; I actually want to hear your interpretation, Su Yang said with a half‑smile.

No, I disagree! Tang Youning voiced opposition.

Brother Tang, is there a ghost in your heart? Why does Zhai Xiaojie arbitrarily target you, or perhaps… did you discover something, knowing that her interpretation would lead to a terrible fate? Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Hmph, joke, I just think it's unfair; who can guarantee complete fairness and openness in this unmonitored process? Tang Youning said coldly.

Both you and I have the ability to discern right from wrong; I believe everyone present has it, a Lie and such can Vision Perception it at a glance, Su Yang said.

I'm just afraid that truth is mixed with falsehood; you often do this, so you should understand the stakes best. Tang Youning retorted.

Just as Su Yang was about to make a yin‑yang remark, Li Zhenhua stepped forward and said:

Let's cut the talk, I'll supervise!
