I’ll handle Wei Guan’s body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followers of [Order] are always reliable.

If you have any ideas, you might as well share them with me first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ni lifted her slightly drunken eyelids slightly, signaling him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to lose two teammates on the first day, and I don’t want you to die so foolishly, like that overconfident follower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi’s words were blunt—he was terrified his teammates would charge forward confidently and end up dead on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t doubt Yun Ni’s intelligence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it—he just didn’t trust her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he could tell this Assassin Miss already had a plan; she might act tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether her action would help or hurt the trial, he couldn’t judge without knowing her intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ni smiled, ignored him, drained her glass, and left alone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi watched her go, then turned his gaze to the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The empty glass Yun Ni had slammed onto the counter still trembled; a barely visible crack was slowly spreading toward the three o’clock position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph—an interesting invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inn’s first floor closes at two a.m.—clearly intending to do something “unseen” during the quiet night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi chuckled silently, downed his drink in one gulp, and returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep night had fallen. Though the inn was full of guests, most had chosen rest now, no longer the lively scene of early evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The innkeeper was clearly skilled—he, at this late hour, had arranged several servers to patrol the corridors on each floor, ensuring guests slept more peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi lay on his bed, unable to sleep. He listened to footsteps pacing back and forth in the corridor, his mind racing for a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he furrowed his brow in thought, the familiar breathing sound came again from behind the wooden wall beside his bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it three o’clock?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at his watch—the breathing from the next room vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi, as if receiving a signal, immediately rolled out of bed, opened his door, and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stepped out, he saw Du Xiguang and Fang Jue opening their doors simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men’s gazes moved in perfect unison past Cheng Shi, fixing on Yun Ni’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more bizarrely, at the end of the corridor, a burly man lying in the shadows had woken and stood up silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems everyone’s thoughts are on the Assassin Miss’s move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m awake because Yun Ni invited me—what are you big guys doing, listening at walls in the middle of the night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment was fleeting; Cheng Shi had no time to overthink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men silently skipped the awkward greeting and followed Yun Ni’s trail up to the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Wei Guan’s death had served as a warning, she hadn’t erased her traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the four men trailed behind her, erasing her footprints as they went, guessing what this [Annihilation] assassin intended to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t have long to speculate. When they reached the door of the last room on the third floor, the answer revealed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint scent of [Annihilation] leaked from the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ni has moved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men froze, dodged the patrolling servers, and slipped into the room quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the room was in utter disarray; the guest who should have been there was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ni had vanished again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Freak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Jue instantly understood Yun Ni’s plan. He cursed bitterly and dashed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Xiguang followed right behind—he too had grasped Yun Ni’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi stared at the empty room, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without doubt, Yun Ni had “killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followers of [Annihilation] used His granted special ability to send the room’s occupant to “another plane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These planes were often dying worlds on the verge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending living beings into unraveling space was an offering to Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, a life vanishing from its original place was not unlike death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poor guest might still be alive—but what torment awaited him under [Annihilation]’s gaze, no outsider could know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crude method, but effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Assassin Miss’s idea was simply to search room by room, forcibly, without alerting other guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like her personality—decisive and direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was still one problem: if she directly confronted the killer, she might become the next Wei Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This simple, effective method wasn’t unthought-of—no one just wanted to be the second Wei Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yun Ni didn’t care at all; she willingly became the players’ spearhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Cheng Shi couldn’t help but sigh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, skill makes one bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are all these high-scoring people so confident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is their score just built on raw talent and brute force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found this notion utterly contemptible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brute force can’t solve everything—the mind is the key that unlocks the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the deed was done; dwelling on it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed helplessly and began searching the messy room, hoping to find some useful clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew well—the Assassin Miss wouldn’t bother with careful searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dirty work still fell to all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, the Grand Inquisition is on its way—why stir up this inn now?
