Chapter 666: You can want to die, but don
But doing so is meaningless.
After all, voting for oneself is merely a formality, with no substantive result.
To truly achieve a certain Achievement, Su Yang believes one must vote for oneself while also being voted out!
"Hang Execution!" Su Yang furrowed his Brow.
Not long ago he personally witnessed Gu Jun being hanged, the outcome was extremely tragic, and he had no ability to fight back.
If he truly were the murderer, after being voted out he would obtain a Hidden Achievement, but what meaning does that have?
When a person dies, everything is gone.
Upon this thought, Su Yang lay back on the bed, pondering how the side of justice could obtain the Hidden Achievement.
Obviously, the theme is here; to reach a certain threshold, one most likely has to start with the voting stage.
"Finding the murderer and successfully voting them out can only serve as a Clearance Method, it does not explain anything else."
"Could it be... to find the murderer in the Final Round?"
"No, the Time Card is too rigid; following this timeline, no one can be guaranteed to last until the Fourth Round."
"That means, if the murderer isn't found in the earlier rounds, the Third Round becomes the Final Ultimatum!"
Su Yang rubbed the corner of his Brow and suddenly felt a headache.
He felt as if he were trapped in a Vortex, with no way out.
Even the most basic way to win the game is beyond his grasp, let alone raising the Scoring.
If he hadn't opened the situation with Deception, proactively causing the Evidence chain to surface, this game would inevitably be very difficult.
Hints are essentially zero, starting only from the Luoshi provided by the Letter.
Additionally, the Old Era Remnant Faction and players skilled in Lie Detection watch keenly from the side.
On top of that, Tang Youning, the guy who swore to take his life.
"Time is running out..."
A strong sense of urgency suddenly surged in Su Yang's mind, as if he wanted to dash out the door right now to search for Luoshi.
"Dong—"
"Bedtime has arrived, all players please rest immediately."
When the broadcast sounded, the lights in the room went out instantly.
The only remaining light was the moonlight streaming in through the window.
"Given the situation, let's sleep first," Su Yang stretched lazily, covered himself with a soft, skin‑tight blanket, and crossed his hands on his abdomen.
Just as he was half‑asleep, a sudden noise suddenly reached his ears.
Su Yang furrowed his Brow, opened his eyes, and slapped the wall hard to signal the neighbor to quiet down.
But not long after it quieted, the noise sounded again.
"Damn, it's already annoying, who the hell lives next to me?" Su Yang pushed the blanket aside, swearing as he got up.
He prided himself on excellent quality, yet being woken by someone in that half‑asleep state is the least forgivable thing.
Su Yang climbed down from the bed, drank a sip of water to calm himself a bit, and knocked on the wall with his Finger.
A moment later, a knocking sound came from the other side of the wall.
It seemed like a response, or perhaps…
Provocation!
"Could it be that Tang Youning fellow?" Su Yang felt doubt in his mind.
No, he clearly remembered the one surnamed Tang went to the room on the right side of the Master Room, while he was on the left.
Now the room where the noise came from is also on the left, judging from the positions before entering…
It seems to be Yu Meng?
"What is this woman doing staying up all night?" Su Yang felt displeasure.
He clearly remembered the rules stating that players may not disturb others' rest.
And deliberately making noise has already crossed the Fire line.
Why wasn't she punished by the rules?
Just as Su Yang was baffled, a louder roar sounded.
"Buzz—"
The wall in front of him suddenly opened, and a Qianying appeared, water‑spirit‑like, into his sight.
The moment they locked eyes, both froze, big eyes staring at small eyes, rooted to the spot.
"What are you doing?" Su Yang blurted out.
"I thought the oil painting on the wall looked a bit sickening, so I wanted to take it down, and while doing so, it ended up like this..." Yu Meng was stunned, pointing at the frame lying on the floor.
Su Yang stared, and saw the oil painting depicted a man with only half a face, one eye bright and piercing, his gaze seeming able to pass through the frame.
It was filled with eeriness!
"So behind this frame is a hidden mechanism that connects the two rooms?" Su Yang asked.
"Seems that way, I guess I didn't cause any trouble, right?" Yu Meng said, still trembling.
She made such a big noise, fearing the rules would deem it a violation.
Su Yang waited a moment, the imagined tragedy did not occur, so he said, "It seems fine, probably judged that you had no subjective intent to interfere."
"That's good," Yu Meng let out a long sigh and patted her Chest.
Su Yang looked her up and down, noticing that the girl with a ponytail carried a demeanor different from other girls.
It seemed aristocratic, with a hint of a young lady's aura.
Moreover, judging from her usual standing and sitting posture, she must have received excellent family upbringing.
Their speech is also rather outstanding.
It is estimated that before being "kidnapped" she was a wealthy girl who received countless pampering.
Being stared at by Su Yang, she lightly pursed her Mouth, subconsciously brushed the messy hair at her temples behind her ear, revealing a smooth, fair Neck.
White with a flush of red.
Su Yang glanced, then averted his gaze, and asked, "Does the room you live in have any new Luoshi?"
"So far none have been found; from the living traces it appears to be a Guest Room," Yu Meng said.
"My room is also a Guest Room, overall very clean, not even a single Footprint left," Su Yang explained.
"Don't you find it strange? There's a Passage here that can lead to two rooms?" Yu Meng asked.
"Guest Rooms also have Passages, then the Master Room…" Su Yang suddenly turned his head, a flash of brilliance flashing in his eyes.
"I'll help you find it!"
Saying that, Yu Meng made a move to step into the room where Su Yang lives.
"Stop!" Su Yang shouted loudly.
Yu Meng's just‑raised Foot froze in midair, neither falling nor staying still.
"What's wrong?" Yu Meng asked.
"You can want to die, but don't pull me in," Su Yang said in a low voice.
Yu Meng, hearing that, immediately realized and, terrified, pulled her leg back.
During rest periods, players may not leave their residing room; once she follows the Passage in, the rules could Judgment that the two rooms are actually one.
Thus not only would she die, but Su Yang would also be punished!
"Thanks for the Reminder, I was just confused," Yu Meng immediately gave a gaze mixed with apology and gratitude.
"You stay here and don't move, I'll find it myself," Su Yang instructed.
Having said that, Su Yang immediately turned and walked to the opposite wall to grope around.
From this perspective, this Ancient Castle is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
The Bookshelf hides a mechanism leading to the Cellar, and the Second Floor also has a mutually accessible Passage.
The thing Yu Meng inadvertently discovered could very likely hide a huge secret!
At this moment, Su Yang suddenly felt a hard object behind the wallpaper.
"Hmm?"
It really exists?!
Su Yang instantly became energized, with a nervous heart, and pressed down forcefully!
"Boom……"
