Night fell quickly. This time, Sun Yong was gone from the west room, but Xia Xiaoxiao was there.

But Lin Chuqiu obviously didn't want to stay in the same room with Xia Xiaoxiao, so she went to the main house to sleep.

Gu Chang also tried to persuade Lin Chuqiu, but the other party still insisted.

Sometimes, the power of plot is strong.

Only the heroine can survive to the end.

That night, no dark shadow appeared outside the west room door.

Day .

Lin Chuqiu died in the main house, her neck brutally cut, blood all over the floor. The door of the main house was also open.

Xia Xiaoxiao was the first to stand up and suspect Gu Chang.

But last night, Ruan Tang had no intention of sleeping and stayed awake the whole time.

If Gu Chang tried to kill Lin Chuqiu, she would not be unaware of it.

In the main hall.

The three of them sat around the square table, waiting for twelve o'clock.

During this period, Xia Xiaoxiao kept persuading Ruan Tang to vote for Gu Chang.

But Ruan Tang pursed her lips and ignored her.

"I'm so fed up with your love-brainedness. You like Gu Chang, can't he see it?" Xia Xiaoxiao was furious, no longer holding back when she spoke. "It's true that you and Gu Chang grew up together, but does Gu Chang have feelings for you? He just treats you as a younger sister. Why can't you figure it out?"

"Stop talking, Xiaoxiao." Ruan Tang frowned unhappily. Her secret feelings were exposed just like that. She hated Xia Xiaoxiao's behavior.

"Why don't you let me speak? Why do you think Tang Zhixue is targeting you? It's because the Tang and Gu families are getting married. If Tang Zhixue becomes Gu Chang's fiancée, won't you be a thorn in her eyes?"

Xia Xiaoxiao said what had been pent up in her heart for a long time, "The Tang family is rich and powerful. If Gu Chang marries Tang Zhixue, all the wealth of the Tang family will be his."

"That's enough! I told you to stop talking!!!" Ruan Tang's voice was sharp, completely different from her usual soft and innocent look. She glared at Xia Xiaoxiao with red eyes, "Xia Xiaoxiao, don't think you are sincere to me. You obviously like Sun Yong, but you deliberately told him about me. I told you that I don't like him."

"But you still keep betraying my privacy in front of him!" Ruan Tang said breathlessly, her tears streaming down her face.

During the days in the dungeon, she was always in a state of panic, as if she was a lone boat in the vast ocean, and everything around her was suffocating her.

Sooner or later she would be overcome by fear.

Only when she looked at Gu Chang could she recall the good old days. She consoled herself with the knowledge that at least she had someone she had grown up with by her side.

Now, Xia Xiaoxiao not only tore through that veil, but also accused her of being love-brained. She had originally wanted to confess her feelings to Gu Chang on that day.

But a car accident changed everything.

Death is always around, and the only way to survive is to find the murderer. But she is too stupid to figure out how to reason, so she can only follow the others.

"Tangtang..." Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and soon her eyes turned red. "I didn't mean to tell Sun Yong about your privacy. Only by telling him about you will he talk to me more... I'm sorry."

"I hope you will trust me again this time and vote for Gu Chang, okay?" Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Ruan Tang with hopeful eyes.

But it was broken by a voice.

"That's enough, Xia Xiaoxiao. Listening to you makes me want to sleep." Gu Chang pinched his eyebrows, and the little sparrows chirped and jumped above his head.

Xia Xiaoxiao's face turned cold.

"You are the illegitimate daughter of the Tang family." Gu Chang placed his hand on the table and tapped the table lightly with the tip of his index finger.

"I've been thinking that maybe you don't even know it, but there's always some jealousy and hatred in your eyes when you look at Tang Zhixue." Gu Chang said as he spread out the rolled-up scroll on the table.

"This painting shows Tang Zhixue's father, but Tang Zhixue doesn't look like him at all. It's you, with similar facial features. Xia Xiaoxiao, your original surname should be Tang, right? Xia is your mother's surname."

Gu Chang learned from the original owner's memory that Xia Xiaoxiao approached Ruan Tang on purpose.

At that time, Ruan Tang was targeted by Tang Zhixue, and Xia Xiaoxiao appeared beside Ruan Tang when she was most isolated and helpless.

Many times, the original owner had noticed that Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Zhixue with a strange look in her eyes. Furthermore, Xia Xiaoxiao looked very similar to someone, but the original owner hadn't thought much of it at the time.

It was not until Lin Chuqiu talked to him alone on the afternoon of the fourth day that Gu Chang learned that Tang Zhixue was going to the hospital to get the paternity test results that day.

Because Tang Zhixue had always suspected that Xia Xiaoxiao's identity was not right, she knew that her father had cheated on her over a decade ago. However, Tang Zhixue's mother did not find out the person Tang's father had cheated on her with at that time. She only knew that the other person's surname was Xia, and the matter was gradually forgotten.

When Tang Zhixue saw Xia Xiaoxiao, she immediately realized that she looked 60% like her father, and that she also had the surname Xia. She asked someone to get Xia Xiaoxiao's hair, and then took Tang's father's hair to the hospital for identification.

But no one expected that a car accident would happen that day.

"Tang Zhixue is dead. All you have to do is get Ruan Tang to join me, and then kill Ruan Tang who has no power to resist. You will win this game. Besides, the Tang family has only one heir, Tang Zhixue. When she dies, you, an illegitimate daughter, will come out to acknowledge her father and pretend to be filial to your dying father. Then all this wealth will be yours." With every word Gu Chang said, Xia Xiaoxiao's face became uglier.

"This painting is the clue you made, Gu Chang, you have such a vicious mind." Xia Xiaoxiao said with gritted teeth. Her unwillingness to admit defeat was obvious in her eyes.

"You'd better use your brain." Gu Chang mocked calmly.

Xia Xiaoxiao stared at Gu Chang intently.

For a moment, the scene became surprisingly quiet.

In the lamp placed on the wall, the bright candlelight flickered slightly.

The smell of corruption is growing in the dark corners.

11:49.

Ruan Tang wiped her tears with her sleeve and pointed at the painting. "Sun Yong and Brother Gu found this painting together. If Brother Gu wanted to forge it, wouldn't Sun Yong be able to find out?"

"Haha, Ruan Tang, you keep calling me Brother Gu. It really makes me sick." Xia Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and her hand hidden in her sleeve moved slightly. "Obviously, the first person you met was me."

Ruan Tang:!

Gu Chang reacted quickly and pulled Ruan Tang away.

"Xia Xiaoxiao, are you going to kill me?!" Ruan Tang looked at the iron rod in Xia Xiaoxiao's hand in shock.

"Yes, I found this in the kitchen." Xia Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her lips and said in a flat tone.

Gu Chang took the time to check the plot progress, which was already 90%.

If Xia Xiaoxiao kills the heroine, it will be a waste of time and effort.

Xia Xiaoxiao was afraid of Gu Chang. She knew very well that she could not be stronger than Gu Chang.

But now that she has a weapon in her hand, the other party will be somewhat cautious.

However, it turned out that Xia Xiaoxiao was overthinking it.

She rushed over and stabbed Gu Chang with the sharp part of the iron rod.

Amidst Ruan Tang's screams, Gu Chang kicked Xia Xiaoxiao's wrist, which was holding the iron bar. The kick was so fast that Xia Xiaoxiao could only barely see a flash before her eyes, and then she felt a sharp pain in her hand.

Gu Chang took advantage of Xia Xiaoxiao's pain and kicked her calf again.

"Ah!!!" Xia Xiaoxiao fell to the ground in pain, her eyes wide open, trying to pick up the iron rod that had fallen to the ground.

However, Gu Chang stepped on her hand. Xia Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to hit Gu Chang's ankle with her other hand.

However, she didn't expect that the other party was one step faster than her. His foot had already left and kicked the iron rod far away. He even had time to say to the frightened Ruan Tang: "Go pick it up."

However, Ruan Tang was trembling and couldn't even stand steadily, "Brother Gu... I..."

Gu Chang: He overestimated the heroine.

Gu Chang picked up the scroll on the table. He controlled the strength and only knocked Xia Xiaoxiao unconscious.

Ruan Tang watched this scene and even forgot to breathe.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao had fainted, Ruan Tang sobbed again and sat on the chair, "Brother Gu, I didn't expect Xia Xiaoxiao to really want to kill me."

Gu Chang complained in his heart: The supporting actress likes to be impulsive when she meets the heroine, there is nothing you can do about it.

The system applauded from the side, "The host is so handsome!"

Little sparrow: "Chirp chirp!!"

"Just now, Xia Xiaoxiao said something. She said that she was the first one to know you. Do you have any impression?" Gu Chang thought of what Xia Xiaoxiao said just now.

Ruan Tang shook her head at first, as if she thought of something, and then she looked at the silver hairpin on the table.

"I...seemed to have met a little girl when I was a child. She was being beaten by her mother at the time. I remember that I waited until her mother left before I went over to talk to her and comfort her. I also gave her a...hairpin." Ruan Tang recalled the long-lost memory. She looked at Xia Xiaoxiao who had fainted on the ground in disbelief.

Could it be that the little girl is Xia Xiaoxiao?

As soon as it's twelve o'clock, voting starts on time.

The voting was quick this time, and Xia Xiaoxiao's paper and pen had been taken away by Gu Chang.

[The voting results are out: Xia Xiaoxiao 2 votes]

[Murderer Xia Xiaoxiao is out, game over]

[The winning player will leave the dungeon after 30 seconds]

【30-second countdown begins...】

Ruan Tang felt a mixture of emotions. Xia Xiaoxiao was indeed the murderer. She quickly put these emotions aside. She couldn't pity Xia Xiaoxiao. The other party was about to kill her, so why should she still care about Xia Xiaoxiao?

"Brother Gu...we..." Ruan Tang turned to look at Gu Chang, and saw a black figure gradually appearing behind him.

Gu Chang noticed that Ruan Tang looked unwell and quickly left the place.

Blood-red eyes opened from the black figure.

Ruan Tang stood there in a daze. What kind of monster is this?

Gu Chang took out a peach wood sword and looked at "Xu Yingkang" coldly.

【27 seconds...】

Blood-red eyeballs flooded towards Gu Chang. Ruan Tang collapsed on the ground, looking at Gu Chang surrounded by the terrifying eyeballs with fear on her face.

【23 seconds...】

The sharp sword shadow broke the encirclement in the blink of an eye.

However, the main hall was already filled with black air, except for the area around Ruan Tang where there was no black air at all.

【18 seconds...】

The peach wood sword in Gu Chang's hand had been corroded by the black air and could no longer function.

A huge hand made of blood-red resentment grabbed Gu Chang.

In a flash, a little sparrow stood in front of Gu Chang regardless of everything.

【12 seconds...】

"You're looking for death!!" Gu Chang looked at the little sparrow that was consumed by resentment, and his emotions fluctuated violently.

Seeing Gu Chang rushing towards Xu Yingkang, the system quickly called out, "Master Host! Thunder Talisman! Thunder Talisman!"

The blood-red resentment cut several wounds all over Gu Chang's body, but Gu Chang ignored the pain and continued to move forward.

【5 seconds...】

Gu Chang's eyes were crazy and cold, and he punched directly into "Xu Yingkang"'s mouth.

The next second, dazzling lightning exploded from the black shadow's body.

The rumbling thunder, accompanied by a sudden burst of white light, engulfed everything around.

Ruan Tang endured the pain in her eyes caused by the strong light. She tried hard to open her eyes, determined to see if Gu Chang was still alive.

But nothing is left...

------

In a ward of the City Central Hospital.

"Wake up, wake up! Go and call the family members outside in!"

Someone was talking happily in her ear.

Ruan Tang felt like she had had a very long dream. She opened her hazy eyes and subconsciously looked at the person who came to the bedside.

"Tangtang! You finally woke up!" It was her mother crying.

The father wiped his tears beside his mother: "It's good that he woke up, it's good that he woke up..."

"Where is Brother Gu..." Ruan Tang asked softly. She was eager to know the news about that person.

However, her mother gently stroked her face and said, "I'll tell you when you feel better, okay?"

Ruan Tang closed her eyes, pursed her cracked lips, and cold tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

She was the only one who survived the car accident.

------

"A small extra"

One winter afternoon, Ruan Tang, wearing a warm black coat and a gray and white scarf, walked into a library in the city.

After she found the book she was looking for on the bookshelf, she went to sit by the window on the first floor and folded her scarf and placed it on the table.

Three years have passed since that game. The youthfulness and immaturity of Ruan Tang has long disappeared, replaced by fatigue and haggardness in her eyes.

Ever since she survived the copy, she had the same dream every night. In the dream, the dead people kept questioning her over and over again, asking why she was the only one who survived.

Ruan Tang also consulted a psychiatrist, but it was of no use. No one would believe what she had experienced in the dungeon.

Out of a sense of guilt, she would go to mourn the dead every year.

During the three years of being tormented by dreams, Ruan Tang's heart had become numb, and she even thought it was a mistake for her to survive.

But when she saw her parents, she felt that she shouldn't give up on herself.

So she began to look for all the information about the copy, and while she was searching intently, she no longer had those dreams.

Ruan Tang flipped through the book, her index finger running across the yellowed pages.

Suddenly, someone sat opposite her.

"Long time no see, Ruan Tang." The familiar voice made Ruan Tang stunned.

She opened her eyes slightly and slowly looked up at the person sitting opposite her.

It is a face that I have seen countless times in my dreams, and a person that I can never forget.

Gu Chang, whom she thought was dead, appeared in front of her again.

"Is this a dream?" Ruan Tang murmured in disbelief.

"It's not a dream, I finally found you, Tangtang." The person opposite stretched out his hand and covered the back of Ruan Tang's hand.

Ruan Tang took a deep breath. The other person's palm was icy cold. She pulled her hand back, tears welling in her eyes, but she stopped herself from moving them.

Ruan Tang looked at the person in front of her and said slowly: "You are not him."
