I played the devil's game with Yang Shou, and I got into the soul with one shot!

Shen Meihua's words fell.

Everyone's heart tightened.

At midnight,

This moment full of ominousness and death has quietly arrived once again.

In the courtyard of Tianji House,

The green light of the seven stone lanterns had long gone out,

Instead, there was an increasingly thick blood-red mist that seeped in from outside the door.

The air seemed to solidify and was so sticky that it made it difficult to breathe.

"Same as before."

"Hand in hand!"

Everyone quickly formed a circle and held hands with each other.

"what!"

There was a cry of surprise.

Su Yi couldn't help but groan.

Because when Su Yi held her hand, he felt a burning sensation...

This blood mist... doesn't allow them to hold hands?

This is the environment... it helps me hunt...

I told you...you should always give yourself some preferential treatment!

Otherwise, what's the point of playing!

"No getting too close, no physical contact."

"Don't move, stay where you are!"

Jiang Mingyan's voice broke the silence. It was obvious that the previous idea was no longer valid.

His tone was more serious than ever.

He was the first to sit down against the wall, holding the gun tightly in his hand.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the ground at an angle, and the brim of his hat was pulled down so low that one could not see his expression clearly.

Yang Biao and Shen Meihua looked at each other.

They also followed his example and sat down next to each other, forming a triangle where they could take care of each other.

Zhou Qizhen and Huang Jing were leaning against the wall on the other side.

Although Zhou Qizhen's face was still pale, his eyes no longer showed the discouragement as before. Instead, they revealed a focused and alert concentration.

Du Wei found a corner, cursing.

He leaned against the wall, the muzzle of the gun swaying uneasily in front of him.

Su Yi did not move, standing firmly among the crowd.

Instead, he became the most obtrusive point in this makeshift defensive formation.

A center that is monitored by everyone consciously or unconsciously.

"Su Yi, sit down."

Jiang Mingyan's voice came.

Su Yi did not answer.

He just sat down slowly, keeping a distance from everyone that was neither too far nor too close, yet just enough to be seen by everyone.

he knows,

Tonight, his every move will be magnified infinitely.

The blood mist became thicker and thicker, and visibility dropped sharply.

At first, I could still see the outline of the person opposite me.

But soon, even things one meter away from me began to become blurry.

"Damn, there's something wrong with this fog!"

Du Wei's voice was a little nervous.

No one answered him.

Outside the entire Tianji residence,

There was a dead silence, only the blood mist was silently surging.

It was like a living creature, licking every inch of space.

Su Yi's heartbeat became unusually steady at this moment.

He knew that the opportunity had come.

He took a deep breath, and the strange power surged in his body again.

Darkness is about to fall.

suddenly,

A cold wind blew into the yard without warning.

The wind was bitingly cold.

The blood mist rolled violently, swallowing up all the people in an instant.

"careful!"

Huang Jing exclaimed.

In this pitch-dark chaos, Su Yi moved.

His body turned into a shadow that could not be captured by the naked eye. Without the slightest hesitation, his target was clear - Zhou Qizhen!

The last attack was a test.

This time, too.

He wants everyone to

Including Jiang Mingyan, everyone has a fixed mindset.

That is, the hunter must follow the instructions of the Faceless Statue.

This is both a constraint and his best disguise.

The shadow passed through the thick fog silently and appeared behind Zhou Qizhen in an instant.

The black mist on the fingertips condensed into the sharpest spikes and pierced straight into his heart.

however,

Just when his fingertips were about to touch Zhou Qizhen's clothes.

"Buzz!"

A golden light, brighter than before, burst out from Zhou Qizhen's arms.

The talisman from Tianxuan’s house automatically protects its master!

The golden light was like the scorching sun, instantly piercing through the thick blood mist.

Attack, failed again!

But Su Yi's goal has been half achieved.

The other half requires a more sophisticated layout.

Just at that moment when golden light burst out and illuminated the entire courtyard.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the dazzling light.

However, Su Yi did not retreat immediately when his attack failed.

The shadow he turned into was stretched out into a long shadow under the reflection of the golden light.

Simultaneously,

He mobilized the strange power in his body and urged another weak black mist to condense into a vague, fleeting shadow at the other end of the courtyard.

"Double Shadow!"

Zhou Qizhen's horrified voice rang out in the golden light.

He saw it,

A shadow attacked him, and at the other end of the yard, there was another shadow, which quickly disappeared into the corner of the wall the moment the golden light came on!

Stab it!

The golden light faded and the blood mist enveloped the place again.

everything,

Darkness and silence returned.

Su Yi had already returned to the same place, as if he had never left.

But this time,

There was a storm in everyone's heart.

Two shadows...

What exactly is that?

"Did you...see it?"

Yang Biao's voice rang out in the dead silence with an uncontrollable tremor.

"Two, there are two shadows..."

Shen Meihua's voice followed closely, full of fear.

Du Wei didn't say anything, but his rapid breathing revealed his inner unrest.

In the darkness, Jiang Mingyan slowly stood up.

He did not light the candle.

It just stood there quietly, like a sculpture blending into the darkness.

The pair of eyes hidden by the brim of the hat, at this moment, flashed with an unprecedented sharpness.

Zhou Qi was being supported by Huang Jing.

He gasped for air, "Yes... one attacked me, and the other... was on the opposite side. It was very fast, and disappeared in a flash of golden light."

This news,

Like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, it completely disrupted all of Jiang Mingyan's previous deductions and plans.

A shadow,

He can identify the suspect.

Painting by Su Yi, Du Wei and Shen Mei.

even,

He has placed the greatest suspicion on Su Yi.

He had just let Su Yi enter Tianji's house as a coercion and a test.

Although Su Yi's response was clever,

But in Jiang Mingyan's opinion, he has not yet cleared himself of suspicion.

But now, two shadows.

what does this mean?

Weird, more than one?

Or, the so-called "hunter",

It wasn't any of the eight of them, but two real monsters lurking in the village?

If the hunter is one of them, how can he differentiate into two shadows at the same time?

This is illogical.

unless……

Jiang Mingyan's mind was working rapidly, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant.

Su Yi sat where he was, but his mind was clear.

What he wants is this effect.

With an unexplainable phenomenon,

To break a seemingly perfect logical loop.

When everyone is stuck in the mindset of "who is the insider?"

He was going to break out of this pattern and muddy the waters completely.

Now, Jiang Mingyan is facing a dilemma.

If he continued to insist that the traitor was among the three of them,

He would have to explain the origin of the second shadow.

If he overturned his previous conclusion and admitted that the hunter might be an external weird creature,

Then all his previous actions,

Including targeting and testing Su Yi, they will lose their position and even cause disgust from others.

dilemma.

And...he also wanted to confirm something...

"Maybe... that thing isn't one of us at all."

Su Yi's voice sounded at the right time.

He stood up and lit the candle in his pocket.

The faint light of fire,

It dispelled the small darkness around him and illuminated his face, which also looked full of confusion and fear.

"Detective Jiang, what do you think?"

He threw the question back to Jiang Mingyan.

This time,

It is not a questioning, but a discussion that is almost equal.

Jiang Mingyan was silent.

For the first time, he didn't give an answer right away.

"Could it be... an accomplice?"

Huang Jing suddenly spoke, her voice somewhat uncertain...
