Chapter 671: Coercion and Temptation! 3D Projection Screen?!
The last time such a helplessly threatening situation appeared seems to have been a long time ago.
If he hadn't said it, Su Yang would even have forgotten what it's like to be restrained by others.
He really hates it!
"It seems, Miss Liang, that she used Innate Talent to find some extraordinary information on the dead," Su Yang said slowly.
"This is a Personal Action, unrelated to anyone else!" Huang Zhenzhong said righteously, glancing at Liang Kaiqi, and continued:
"Moreover, there's a murderer here; making everything public would be exactly what he wants?"
"I now seriously suspect you, Su Yang, of being the murderer, deliberately stirring emotions and forcing us to comply!"
"On the surface it's for Collective Interest, but in fact it harbors malicious intent!"
Su Yang raised an eyebrow, not expecting to be turned around.
I must say, the later game players' quality is indeed impressive.
It's been a long time since I've felt a worthy opponent.
"May I ask everyone, within this Ancient Castle and its courtyard and rear stables, have any substantial Luoshi about the murderer been found?" Su Yang looked at the group.
"So far, none," Li Zhenhua shook his head.
"Then do you have other channels to obtain Luoshi?" Su Yang asked again.
"…None." Tang Youning, though reluctant to admit, said the fact is so.
"At this point, the only one on the field who can receive Intelligence is Miss Liang, and only her."
"The other players, including myself, wander the Ancient Castle aimlessly like headless flies."
"I said yesterday that I'd check the Letter's contents again today to see if anything was missed."
"The situation has been forced to this point; if no one steps forward, we will all muddle through and waste the remaining time."
"I understand Brother Huang's Personal Action, and fully grasp the selfishness behind your unwillingness to share."
"But ask yourself, can just the two of you, using this Intelligence obtained from the corpse, locate the murderer?"
"If you could, you would have spoken up during breakfast, no need to stubbornly deny."
"Since you're at a loss, why not share the Intelligence, letting everyone help find the murderer?"
"The rules also state that players may not act, and even if the murderer knows they're the murderer, they cannot kill to silence, nor destroy Luoshi."
"After all… this Ancient Castle has nothing of value."
"If you still persist alone, no one can hope to clear the game smoothly."
"As the saying goes, many gather firewood, the flame rises; your unilateral concealment only brings endless suspicion and stalled progress."
"You say we can't do anything to you… grossly mistaken!"
Su Yang slowly walked behind Huang Zhenzhong, his deep red eyes flashing a glint, "You don't simply think there's no way to deal with you besides the Voting Mechanism, do you?"
As soon as the words fell, Tang Youning immediately raised his index finger and placed it on his Mouth.
In an instant, Huang Zhenzhong felt a bone stuck in his Throat, no matter how hard he tried he could not speak.
He clutched his Throat with both hands, his face turning a bruised blue, his Pupil violently vibrating.
Su Yang, seeing this, smiled wryly, "I will not allow any individual who undermines Collective Interest to exist peacefully; you hold the Intelligence tightly yet refuse to disclose it, the only ones at a loss are yourselves."
"Moreover… even if you claim to have found the murderer, your current behavior makes it hard to earn trust."
"Again, don't think having rules on your side lets you rest easy."
"I have thousands upon thousands of ways to deal with you!"
"Don't underestimate the Ascend God Seed!"
At these words, Liang Kaiqi felt an inexplicable panic rise within.
Just as…
Su Yang's words, mixed with demonic tones, seized the heart!
She clenched her fist, blue veins bulging, her gaze wildly conflicted, as if making a hard choice.
Huang Zhenzhong saw what was in her mind, his palm lunged toward her.
"You dare?!"
Li Zhenhua seized Huang Zhenzhong in one grip, the force enough to seem to twist his wrist off.
"The choice is yours: make it public, or persist alone," Su Yang said calmly.
Liang Kaiqi looked up at Su Yang, seeing a faint, ambiguous smile at his mouth corner.
She turned to look at Huang Zhenzhong again; he kept shaking his head, and having been subjected to 'Silence', he was almost about to have the words 'Don't speak' carved on his forehead.
The situation outweighs the people; the burden of speaking or not rests solely on her shoulders.
At this moment Su Yang said nothing, simply waiting quietly.
Compared to being overbearing, he prefers to wear down with patience.
Having said as much, he has done all he can.
The others firmly restrained Huang Zhenzhong, preventing any interference.
Although they cannot kill or hurt, they didn't say they couldn't 'bind' someone.
After a while, Liang Kaiqi, having thought hard, flashed a resolute look, determined!
She resolutely opened her mouth, "I speak!"
"Very good," Su Yang's face regained a smile, "You will in the future be pleased with your wise decision today."
At these words, Huang Zhenzhong instantly lost all strength, his eyes turning grim.
She…
In the end, she still couldn't twist Su Yang's wrist.
"No rush, speak slowly," Su Yang said softly.
"The reason I went to the stables is simple; as you said, there are the Talent Activation Prerequisite I need," Liang Kaiji said in order.
"Everyone should still remember the whip marks on the victim's back, right? When I first saw them, I immediately thought of the Horse Whip!"
"It so happens that the Count's residence has a stable, so I went to the stable several times to look for the Murder Weapon."
"But to no avail; however, after Gu Jun died, the Horse Whip miraculously appeared."
As she was about to continue, Su Yang suddenly interrupted, "Wait, your Talent Activation Prerequisite is a Murder Weapon?"
"To be precise, it's an object that has harmed a human, not limited to a Murder Weapon," Liang Kaiji explained.
"So, in that case, that Small Knife that stabbed Diana to death..."
"I've already verified that it wasn't the fundamental cause of Diana's death!" Liang Kaiji said.
"What?!"
"Not that knife?"
Before the crowd could be alarmed, Liang Kaiji added, "My Innate Talent can reconstruct the injured scene through a harmful weapon, recreating it in the Dream as a D Projection."
"Precisely because that knife only pierced Diana's heart after she died, I cannot see the process."
"And the Horse Whip is a known Murder Weapon; after the voting was finished, that night I, together with Huang Zhenzhong, went to the stable to try our luck."
"We didn't expect it, but we actually found it!"
Su Yang's mind flickered, "First-Person Perspective?"
"Yes, it's exactly First-Person Perspective!" Liang Kaiji solemnly nodded.
"What did you see?" Su Yang asked further.
Liang Kaiji took a deep breath, then said seriously, "From the victim's final moments, I learned that the murderer who killed her was more than one person."
"Accomplices?!" Li Zhenhua's face changed.
"More than one accomplice."
Liang Kaiji's gaze grew heavy, and slowly said, "And it's..."
"Seven!"
