Chapter 7: Confess your sins.

Silence once again enveloped the room.

Only the night wind rustled the dilapidated windows.

Everyone's expressions were incredibly vivid, their faces showing a hint of shock, their pupils wide.

At this moment, all eyes in the room were fixed on one person.

That was Gu Qingling!

Gu Qingling held the chair with both hands, blood still dripping from its edges, her face was pale, and tears welled in her eyes.

Her gaze was somewhat unfocused as she looked at Bao Ning, who was twitching intermittently at her feet.

She had taken advantage of the chaotic situation and Bao Ning's distraction to pick up the chair and launch a surprise attack.

But her strength was too small; this blow wasn't fatal, Bao Ning was still alive, just unable to move.

Bao Ning's face was filled with pain, and she wailed, but her head struggled to twist, as if she wanted to look at Gu Qingling behind her.

However, she was too severely injured; her head could only shake slightly, and she weakly cried out, "Save me quickly... she... is scum... she wants to protect her accomplice..."

But everyone seemed not to hear, all frozen in a daze, their faces still showing disbelief.

In their eyes, Gu Qingling was a cold and frail woman; who would have thought she would dare to kill someone!

And if anyone was the most stunned, it had to be Wang Lei.

After all, he had spent a long time building up his psychological defense just to dare to kill, yet Gu Qingling was a step faster than him.

The atmosphere once again fell into an eerie silence.

Only a series of hurried breaths could be heard.

Everyone was unsure what to do next.

Wang Lei glanced at the chair in his hand, then at Ying Lei, and gave a bitter smile, "Are we still killing Li Xiang?"

Ying Lei's expression became serious, and he was also somewhat indecisive.

Du Wanjun's eyes gradually darkened; she knew that to survive, she had to be ruthless!

Better to kill by mistake than to let one go!

If Li Xiang was scum and Bao Ning was also scum, then the game would end, and she would survive!

Du Wanjun gritted her teeth and shouted, "Kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingling suddenly snapped back to reality and anxiously shouted, "You can't kill him! He spoke just now; as long as our statements are the same as the last round, at the end of this round, we'll know if he lied or not!"

Du Wanjun looked up, her eyes fierce as she stared at Gu Qingling, and roared, "This game not only has two pieces of scum but also a troublemaker!"

"Do you think the troublemaker will act as you wish?"

Suddenly, Du Wanjun seemed to realize something, she abruptly stood up, her face distorted as she pointed at Gu Qingling, "I understand! I understand! You are the troublemaker!"

"We were all going to kill Li Xiang, but you wanted to kill Bao Ning, just to deliberately cause trouble!"

"What is your purpose!"

"Could it be...."

Du Wanjun seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, looking at Yang Feng, "Could it be... Gu Qingling is your accomplice! Just to mess with us in the game!"

Yang Feng raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips.

A strong will to survive makes people selfish, and their emotions can easily collapse.

That's what makes it interesting.

But, it's not enough!

Yang Feng didn't answer her question; instead, he spoke coldly, "Game time: 1 minute 52 seconds."

As soon as he said this, a terrifying sense of urgency, like a massive mountain, weighed on everyone's hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Just then, Gu Qingling's eyes narrowed, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her right hand and shouted, "This round ends early, because I found the scum!"

Yang Feng smiled faintly, saying nothing, but instead looked at the others; he knew their expressions would be very interesting, he just needed to watch the show.

Gu Qingling's words were nothing short of lighting a fuse, directly igniting the anger in everyone's hearts.

Du Wanjun wanted to pounce on Gu Qingling, but seeing the chair in Gu Qingling's hand, she was somewhat wary and could only stand still, roaring, "By what right do you make decisions for us!"

Wang Lei's eyes also turned unfriendly, his hands gripping the chair tightly, a hint of murderous intent emanating from him.

He also suspected Gu Qingling was the troublemaker!

Ying Lei, on the other hand, had a headache; the current situation was beyond what his walnut-sized brain could handle, so he could only ask helplessly, "Tell us your reason."

Gu Qingling took a deep breath, her voice filled with a hint of despair, and said urgently, "Trust me, Bao Ning must be the scum; as soon as this round ends, we'll know if Li Xiang is scum... We can't kill innocent good people just to survive... If we do... what's the difference between us and scum!"

"Alright, I'll trust you this once." Ying Lei pondered for a second, then nodded, but he didn't release Li Xiang, just didn't hold him as tightly, giving Li Xiang a chance to breathe, and he also instructed Li Xiang, "Li Xiang, don't move around, cooperate honestly, otherwise, I'll consider you scum!"

Wang Lei and Du Wanjun heard Ying Lei agree and didn't dare to say anything more, only staring at Gu Qingling with gloomy eyes.

Gu Qingling looked anxiously at Yang Feng and shouted, "This round found the scum, end this round early!"

"Oh? I think I said that if you think someone is scum, then kill her." Yang Feng pointed at Bao Ning, smiling slightly, "But, she's not dead yet."

Gu Qingling paused slightly, took a deep breath, her eyes becoming resolute, she picked up the chair and walked towards Bao Ning, who was lying on the ground.

Bao Ning sensed Gu Qingling approaching and cried out miserably, "I'm a good person! Save me quickly! This crazy woman is the scum!"

No one spoke; they all watched in silence.

Yang Feng saw Gu Qingling's determined gaze and knew she wouldn't hesitate.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

How to stimulate Gu Qingling's brain!

A strange smile appeared on Yang Feng's lips as he slowly began to speak:

"Bao Ning, originally named Yang Qinglian, from Beiwancun, Tongta County, Xijin City, 31 years and 6 months old, unmarried, yet with seven sons and five daughters."

"Repeatedly trafficked children, repeatedly robbed homes and forcibly abducted children."

"Repeatedly kidnapped young people walking at night, sold organs, and engaged in illicit sexual trade."

Each of these sentences was like the voice of death; with each word that fell, it struck heavily at Bao Ning's heart.

It also exposed Bao Ning, who had held a glimmer of hope, from her dark world, awaiting righteous judgment.

Gu Qingling paused slightly, somewhat confused, not knowing why Yang Feng would suddenly expose Bao Ning's crimes, but Yang Feng's words undoubtedly confirmed the answer in her heart.

Her answer was correct!

Gu Qingling's eyes became even more determined, she took a deep breath and raised the chair high.

Bao Ning seemed to smell death, her face filled with terror, tears mixed with snot flowing down, as she pleaded bitterly, "Please let me go, I was wrong! I repent! I know I was wrong! I'll change! Please let me go!"

Just as Gu Qingling was about to bring down the chair, Yang Feng spoke again, interrupting Gu Qingling's action, "Gu Qingling!"

Gu Qingling paused slightly, looking at Yang Feng with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

Yang Feng smiled faintly, "At a moment like this, you have to say something cool."

Gu Qingling: "......"

This lunatic has chuunibyou.

Of course, these were her inner thoughts; she wouldn't dare to say them aloud, she could only humbly ask, "What line should I say?"

A cold glint flashed in Yang Feng's eyes as he said coldly, "Confess to your sins."

Gu Qingling breathed a sigh of relief; this line was alright, not as chuunibyou as she had imagined.

Immediately after, she took a deep breath, raised the chair high, and said coldly, "Confess to your sins."

Bang--!!

This time, it wasn't the sound of a blunt object striking flesh.

It was a gunshot!

Yang Feng's face was cold, and wisps of white smoke rose from the barrel of the pistol in his hand.
