Chapter 6: I know who the scum is!

Yang Feng's mouth curled into a slight smile.

The climax of this game was about to begin!

Because there wasn't much time left, the situation was about to descend into chaos!

"In this round, one person is lying, and the game time remaining is..."

Suddenly, Yang Feng paused, as if waiting for something.

"Alright, now there are exactly four minutes left!"

"This round was more than ten seconds faster than the last one."

The moment Yang Feng's words fell, the room became eerily silent.

Every person's face showed a look of shock, and everyone's brain began to frantically churn.

There's still one person lying!?

That means two people changed their statements in the last round!

But, the only one whose statement in the last round didn't match the first round was Li Xiang!

And who was the other person who lied in the first round but didn't lie in the second round?

And who was the person who had been lying all along?

In an instant, this game became incredibly complex, like a thick fog enveloping the entire scene, making everyone feel incredibly suppressed.

Just then, Yang Feng spoke, kindly reminding them, "Game time remaining is 3 minutes and 37 seconds."

This 'kind' reminder made everyone suddenly snap back to reality, an suffocating sense of urgency coiling in their hearts.

Everyone's eyes turned cold, the ferocity in their gazes no longer hidden, and they began to scrutinize and suspect each other.

Eight minutes ago, the seeds of 'suspicion' planted in everyone's hearts had already silently taken root and sprouted.

The atmosphere also became subtle.

Ying Lei's brain throbbed with pain from thinking, and vexation rose in his heart.

After thinking for so long, he had no clues.

He also noticed that the atmosphere in the room was off, his expression somewhat unsightly, and he slowly spoke, stating his analysis,

"Three people lied in the first round, and only one person lied in the second round."

"In the second round, only Li Xiang's statement didn't match the first round, so in the second round, Li Xiang most likely didn't lie."

"And there's another person who told a lie in the first round and the truth in the second round....."

"This......"

"This person is sick, right? Why is he being a troublemaker? I'm truly fed up with his ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"Damn it, I can't figure it out at all!"

Ying Lei completely broke down, his CPU almost overheating.

Wang Lei also had a headache, helplessly rubbing his temples, and said irritably, "You say this person is a troublemaker.... then what are we...."

"Don't worry about this disruptive person for now, first find the person who has been lying all along." Du Wanjun said with a gloomy expression, "As for that disruptive person.... I can consider him a scumbag."

She didn't say it directly, but everyone understood her meaning.

As long as they knew who the disruptive person was, they would treat him as a scumbag and kill him!

Wang Lei nodded, giving a bitter smile, "At least, we know that Li Xiang in the second round didn't lie, he's a hooligan!"

The two words 'hooligan' were emphasized heavily.

Instantly, everyone's gaze fell on Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, then spoke in defense, "But I also said in the last round that I did good deeds, often accompanying and protecting the elderly!"

"I was just forced to become a hooligan!"

Hearing this, everyone hesitated for a moment.

However, their unfriendly gazes still remained on Li Xiang.

After all, the two words 'hooligan' carried too strong a connotation, making people instantly feel that he wasn't a good person.

Ying Lei rubbed his chin and said, "When my big brother explained the game rules, he once said that there was a special scumbag whose sin wasn't particularly heavy, and he might not know if he was a scumbag."

"And as a hooligan, even if this hooligan does good deeds, he must have done some excessive actions, which also corresponds to 'sin is not particularly heavy'."

"I think Li Xiang is that special scumbag."

The others heard this and fell into contemplation, and although they didn't speak, their faces still showed expressions of agreement.

Li Xiang anxiously stood up, his face flushed with urgency, pointing at Ying Lei and cursing, "You're full of crap! I'm a hooligan, but a righteous hooligan!"

"My fists only hit scoundrels!"

"I damn well don't want to be a hooligan, if I had another way out, who the hell would be a hooligan!"

However, everyone's gaze remained fixed on Li Xiang.

Clearly, no one believed Li Xiang's words.

Unconsciously, everyone's positions shifted, silently surrounding Li Xiang.

But one person remained seated in her chair.

That was Gu Qingling!

Her gaze shifted from Li Xiang, observing everyone's micro-expressions, until it reached Bao Ning.

Gu Qingling noticed a faint, almost imperceptible smile on Bao Ning's lips.

Her gaze began to sweep over Bao Ning, finally resting on Bao Ning's hands, she paused for a moment, and then, her eyes lit up, suddenly realizing!

She quickly asked, "Bao Ning! You said you're from the countryside and were kidnapped on your way down the mountain, so does your family live on the mountain!"

This sudden question made everyone pause slightly, and their gazes shifted over.

Bao Ning was first bewildered, then, her eyes turned incredibly gloomy, and she said through gritted teeth, "Are you sick! You keep picking on me!"

Gu Qingling knew time was running out and shouted anxiously, "I'm asking you a question! Don't give useless answers! Otherwise, I can consider you a scumbag!"

This shout made Bao Ning a little bewildered; she was about to curse, but seeing that everyone was paying attention, she could only stammer, "Then... yes, on the mountain."

Gu Qingling anxiously asked again, "Do you usually do a lot of work? Does your family have many appliances? Is your family rich?"

Bao Ning was a bit confused, not quite understanding Gu Qingling's intention, but she still responded one by one, "Nonsense, my husband went out to earn money, I have to take care of three kids, if I don't work, will you?"

"Many appliances? Heh heh, you're just born well, you can use technology for everything, I, a native villager, don't have that kind of luck!"

"Your question is really funny, if my family had money, why would I go up the mountain to carry firewood?"

Gu Qingling took a deep breath, "I know who the scumbag is."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Ying Lei asked, "Who is it?"

Gu Qingling pointed at Bao Ning and said, "It's her!"

Immediately, Bao Ning flew into a rage, jumping up and pointing at Gu Qingling, cursing, "Go to hell! I finally understand, if you're not the scumbag, then you're the one disrupting the game!"

Wang Lei pondered for a second, "Gu Qingling, I know you're very anxious, but we need evidence, and based on the current information, Li Xiang is already a certainty!"

"So, let's... kill him first!"

Gu Qingling was a bit anxious, "I have evidence, listen to the evidence first! You have to believe me!"

At this moment, Ying Lei noticed Li Xiang's distraction and immediately took action.

He saw his figure sway, slide down low, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Li Xiang. Before Li Xiang could react, Ying Lei pounced on him like a hungry wolf, directly performing a takedown.

Bang—

Li Xiang's head hit the ground hard, and in an instant, it made him see stars, the world before his eyes flickering between bright and dark.

Ying Lei's thick arms tightly constricted Li Xiang's neck, "Hurry and help, don't waste time."

"Smash his head with a chair, and also, don't hit me."

At these words, Du Wanjun jogged over, pressing down on Li Xiang's struggling hands with both of hers, but the size difference was too great, having almost no effect.

Wang Lei picked up a chair and slowly walked towards Li Xiang, continuously comforting and encouraging himself in his heart.

After all, this was his first time killing someone, so he was inevitably a bit nervous.

But he knew that if he didn't kill Li Xiang, he himself might die.

Therefore, he had to be ruthless.

Bao Ning glared fiercely at Gu Qingling, then also went over to help.

As Wang Lei gradually approached Li Xiang.

Bang—

The sound of a blunt object hitting flesh.

Blood splattered.

In an instant, the scene was incredibly silent.

Everyone's face held an expression of shock.

Because.... Wang Lei hadn't made a move...
