Cultivation Kill

Shen Zige cannot touch the watch, otherwise he will become the one who reported the crime, be the first to speak at the meeting, and then all the other people will speak. He will definitely be voted out.

He needs to get away from here. According to the position rules, as long as he is farthest from the location of the report, he will speak between the third and eighth positions, regardless of whether the person reporting the case chooses to go clockwise or counterclockwise!

Thirty seconds later.

Shen Zige heard the rustling sound of someone stepping on the fallen leaves ahead. After judging the distance and angle of the sound, he hid behind a tree to block the other person's line of sight.

There is a 15-minute cool-down period after surgery, so he avoids it whenever possible.

Because the tree trunk is not large, it provides a wide field of view for others, making it easy for ordinary people to slip out and be discovered.

"I am Avenger One, who are you?"

This person immediately revealed his identity, but he was clearly not as clever as the one with the pipe in front of him, and could not guess Shen Zige's identity at a glance.

However, if he continues to hide, he will eventually deduce that it is Shen Zige who is hiding, since none of those sent to ambush and kill Shen Zige are fools.

Behind them was the crime scene, so going back was definitely not an option. With no other choice, Shen Zige could only slowly emerge from behind the tree, keeping her distance from this Avenger Number One.

"Hello, Avenger One," Shen Zige greeted politely.

He observed the fallen leaves around him, but there were no footprints. This old man walks very lightly!

The Avenger One in front of him was an old man who looked to be over sixty years old. His actual age was hard to determine, but Shen Zige estimated that he had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

"So it was you, Shen Zige! You're dead!" the old man, Avenger Number One, said angrily.

Even if he has no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he still has several decades of lifespan left. Who would want to die several decades earlier?

Therefore, he harbored great hatred for Shen Zige, believing that Shen Zige had ruined him.

"Do you want to live?" Shen Zige said. "If you want to live, you have to play the game seriously. If you want to die, you can play however you want."

“What do you mean?” Revenge One said. “Don’t try to fool me with sweet talk.”

"First of all, let me state that I did not harm you, because I don't even know you, so how could I have harmed you?" Shen Zige's first sentence indicated that she was not an enemy, thus increasing the other party's trust.

Revenge Number One thought Shen Zige's words made sense and the logic was sound, so he lowered his guard a little and asked, "I was pulled into the Immortal Cultivation Killing Secret Realm because of you. If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?"

“Of course it was the True Artifact Sect that sent you here,” Shen Zige retorted. “Why didn’t they send someone else, but instead sent you? It’s because they know you’re the most useless, and it doesn’t matter if you die.”

Shen Zige's tension eased slightly. Although he was talking, he would leave immediately if he sensed anything was wrong, because he didn't have any special skills right now. Fortunately, the other party did not cautiously approach him and was not an assassin or someone carrying a knife.

The truth is the most hurtful thing, and the old man turned pale upon hearing this.

"So what if it's not you? I still have to make you lose the match to survive," the old man, using the pseudonym Revenge Number One, shouted. "I'm casting my vote for you this round."

“If I’m on your side and you vote for me, won’t you still lose?” Shen Zige said. “You only have one chance to live, which is to find out my identity first, and then figure out the next strategy. As long as you can achieve a win-win-lose outcome, you can live. If you vote randomly for me now, you will most likely lose.”

Shen Zige stood in the old man's position and analyzed the situation for him. The old man thought it made sense and his trust in Shen Zige increased.

"Why did you lose?" The old man was starting to believe Shen Zige, but he was still refuting her.

In dangerous places, everyone is afraid of revealing their true thoughts to others, and everyone tries to pretend that the other person is wrong.

“We’re both good people, and if I lose, won’t you lose too?” Shen Zige said. “So you can’t let me lose; you need to protect me.”

"Why are you on my side?" the old man, Vengeance Number One, said. "Can you tell who I am?"

"We've been talking here for so long and no one has fallen yet, which means we're both good people, not bad people!" Shen Zige explained. "You must be a good person who doesn't carry a knife, right? If I were a bad person, I wouldn't need to waste words with you; I would just kill you with one stab!"

Shen Zige's skills are actually on cooldown, preventing her from attacking.

“Even if we’re on the same side, and you win, I’ll still die when I get out.” The old man believed Shen Zige’s words. “I can’t win.”

“Let me tell you a secret. I learned from the Star Realm Corporation headquarters that there are all sorts of items in the Spirit Condensation Immortal Cultivation Killing Secret Realm,” Shen Zige said. “There’s one item that can change your identity, you know what I mean. Then you’ll have a different identity from me.”

"Then you'll know my identity, won't you?" the old man said, coming to his senses. "Your real purpose is to deceive me, to prevent me from voting for you, isn't it!"

“Yes, that’s my goal. This is a win-win situation, so why do you insist on going to your death?” Shen Zige admitted directly. “Think carefully about what I’m saying. Does it make sense for you to do this?”

After Shen Zige finished speaking, she walked away into the distance, leaving the old man from the True Artifact Sect still pondering in place.

He used the same words on everyone he met on the road, and several people, like the old man known as Vengeance Number One, fell into deep thought.

He killed the pipe-smoking detective in a somewhat secluded spot, and it wasn't until twenty minutes later that someone noticed and reported it to the police.

"Unfortunately, I only encountered five people," Shen Zige sighed.

Eight people appeared around a roaring campfire, without chairs.

"Everyone has arrived. First, please let the person who reported the incident speak," the Secret Realm System's voice came out mechanically.

Beside the campfire, a middle-aged man dressed in True Artifact Sect attire spoke up: "I am Revenge Number Three. The body was found in the northern part of the Birch Forest. I didn't see anyone else around at the time. Everyone, report your location information. Let's all vote to send Shen Zige flying first, then we're done!"

Please select the order in which you will speak.

Clockwise.

Revenge Number Three figured that since he was going to knock Shen Zige out of the ring this time, the order in which they chose didn't matter.

Shen Zige was overjoyed. If it went clockwise, he would be the second to last to speak. In the Immortal Cultivation and Killing Secret Realm meetings, the later you speak, the more advantageous it is.

“It’s my turn to speak. I’m from the Wuding Business Alliance, and my pseudonym is Revenge Number Six. We’re all here to take revenge on Shen Zige.” A middle-aged man in a gray shirt and a top hat said, “Let’s vote to send Shen Zige flying. As for my location, I was born in the east of the forest and I was with Revenge Number Four and Number Seven the whole time. I guarantee that the three of them won’t be harmed. Pass.”

Shen Zige thought to herself, "What a load of rubbish! You were just chatting with me a moment ago."

"It's my turn to speak third. I'm Revenge Number Four. I was with Number Seven the whole time. I can't guarantee Number Six's safety. He left for two minutes in the middle, but he left in the South Forest. It's impossible for him to kill someone in the North Forest and run back in two minutes."

The young man dressed in the robes of a True Artifact Sect disciple said, "I think the same as the previous two. First, we'll all vote to send Shen Zige flying. I'm really unlucky. My nephew Liu Gui stole the sect's magic artifacts to sell, but I found out and stopped him. He held a grudge and threw this revenge mission at me. Pass!"

"I am Revenge Number Seven. I was indeed with Number Four the whole time, just as he said. I guarantee that the three of us will not be operated on." The man wearing the uniform of Wuding Business Alliance said, "Also, the one who died was our Wuding Business Alliance's top reasoning expert. He was specially hired by Manager Wu at a high price. He had resurrection chances. Unanimously vote to send Shen Zige flying. Pass."

After reporting the incident, they spoke in order of distance from their location to the reporting point. Since the three were together, their speaking order was also adjacent.
