The Only Way Out

For the "Demonic Path,"

The good news is that Zhong Yi's "Hidden Demon" isn't among the explicitly listed occupations.

At least in the first round of the stealth hunt, it's easy to frame an innocent person.

Zhong Yi decided to take advantage of this and take the initiative!

"Number 2, Number 2! What's your identity?"

Behind Zhong Yi, a figure with a "Five" written on their forehead suddenly tailed him.

"There's a 'Death Curse Master,' shh..."

Zhong Yi put two fingers to his lips and then looked at the other person suspiciously.

"Hey, Number Five, why are you so interested in my occupation? Could it be that..."

"No no no! I don't mean that!"

Number Five quickly waved his hand.

In a game with a "Death Curse Master," it has become a consensus among players not to casually reveal their occupations.

"Let me tell you, don't get too close to me!"

Zhong Yi continued.

The attack range of the Demonic Path is about two meters.

Zhong Yi carefully kept this distance, even though he was the one from the Demonic Path.

He had made up his mind that he must use stealth for his first attack.

This way, he could kill someone and frame someone else at the same time, which was the most cost - effective move.

"Okay, okay. You're a good guy, right? Don't worry, so am I."

Number Five now believed Zhong Yi quite a bit.

"I'm going to the money - house to do a task. Keep watch for me."

"Sure."

Zhong Yi nodded.

Seeing Number Five enter the money - house, he didn't even look back and continued walking forward.

This kind of lonely and naive guy wasn't his primary target.

It had to be a group of three or four people huddled together that would be a good target!

Zhong Yi had only walked a few steps when he heard a commotion ahead.

Five or six people were huddled together, and the name of the player in the middle had a red nameplate on his forehead.

Zhong Yi didn't care about that.

This was a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity. Even if he attacked a teammate, he'd accept it!

Thinking this, he detoured below.

The moment he disappeared from everyone's sight, he activated his stealth!

Everything around him turned black and white.

He couldn't see anything.

However,

As long as his attack skill lit up, it meant there was someone around!

Zhong Yi ran forward at full speed.

The moment his attack skill lit up, he swung his blade down!

A splash of scarlet appeared in the black - and - white world.

Without any hesitation, he quickly left the scene.

When he reached the street corner, his stealth ended.

Zhong Yi was very lucky. Neither when he activated the stealth nor when it ended was he seen by anyone.

'Ha ha, if it were Old Zhou, he'd probably be in big trouble!'

Zhong Yi thought cheerfully to himself.

In his mind, he imagined the scene where Zhou Yue was stealthing and someone came up behind him, attacked a teammate when he used his blade, and then a good guy appeared when the stealth ended.

It was simply wonderful.

Up ahead on the street, a group of people were in a complete mess and making a huge ruckus.

Zhong Yi pretended to be passing by for the first time and came to the scene of the incident.

There were three corpses lying on the ground!

"Number 6, quickly explain your identity, or I'll attack you!"

Shen Yan stared menacingly at Zhong Yi's teammate, Xiao Hongzhi, whose nameplate was red on his forehead.

"I'm a 'Knight - Errant'... At the beginning of the game, this Number 11 kept sticking to me. I told him not to, but he wouldn't listen, so I had to attack."

Xiao Hongzhi was also a little expert in this kind of strategy game. He wasn't flustered when facing Shen Yan's interrogation.

After listening to the group's discussion, Zhong Yi quickly understood the situation.

His teammate Xiao Hongzhi had been accidentally discovered when he killed someone.

So a group of people surrounded him. Just then, Zhong Yi attacked while in stealth, successfully disrupting the situation.

He had killed Number 8.

Number 10, who was closest to Number 8, instantly became the scapegoat.

Shen Yan was a good guy with a blade, so he directly regarded Number 10 as an insider and killed him.

"Forget it, everyone, don't stay together. Be careful of mixed attacks!"

Zhong Yi never forgot to disguise himself as a good guy and kindly reminded them.

"I can recognize the good - guy identity of Number 1 Shen Yan. As for Number 6's 'Knight - Errant,' we can wait and see if anyone claims the same occupation... If we stay together, it'll get even more complicated if someone uses a mixed attack later!"

Everyone thought it made sense. After noting down their respective routes, they scattered and left.

Zhong Yi "accidentally" got separated from the others and went to a secluded place to do a task.

"Hehe, this attack killed one person, framed another, and filled a demonic slot... It's such a great deal!"

Zhong Yi murmured to himself happily.

He was very satisfied with his own move!

"As long as I don't attack the Scout, I'm invincible!"

"Next, I just need to do tasks while looking for lonely good guys, or..."

Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Yo, Senior Brother Zhong is doing a task here?"

Mu Yawen walked over stupidly and patted Zhong Yi on the shoulder.

"Isn't this just coming to me on a silver platter?"

Zhong Yi smiled wickedly and didn't care about their brother - like relationship at all. He swung his blade down.

The next moment,

He appeared in the middle of the ancestral hall.

There was a brief moment of silence in the air.

Zhong Yi immediately realized that he had stepped into trouble again...

Damn Scout!!

Zhong Yi's lips twitched slightly.

Fortunately, this kind of situation had happened more than a dozen times, and his reaction was extremely fast.

"After separating from everyone on the street, I went to do a task near the farmhouse. Just when I got here, I saw the body of Junior Brother Mu, Number 3. Considering that three people had already died on the street, I thought I had to ring the wind - bell, so I called everyone here."

After briefly explaining his itinerary, Zhong Yi didn't forget to pour some dirty water.

"By the way, I remember that Number 14 seemed to have gone to the farmhouse. She's very suspicious."

Everyone was shocked that four people had died in one round.

Zhong Yi carefully observed everyone's reactions and silently memorized the information in his mind.

"I want to vote out Number 2, Zhong Yi, this round."

Shen Yan, who spoke last, smiled and looked at Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi's heart immediately rose to his throat.

"Number 11 can tell if someone has died. Just when he saw that another person had died, Zhong Yi rang the wind - bell. So I think..."

"Zhong Yi stepped into trouble, ha ha ha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

However, just then,

There was a loud "bang" from a gunshot.

Number 5, who Zhong Yi had met once, died.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense -

It was the "Death Curse Master" who had attacked!

Zhong Yi's mind was racing.

The dead Number 5 wasn't his teammate.

That meant that one of his teammates, Number 6, Number 7, or Number 9, had guessed Number 5's identity!

In that instant -

He saw a glimmer of hope!

In the room settings, speaking wasn't necessarily in order.

Anyone could speak during someone else's turn, but the current speaker could choose to mute others.

"Brother Shen, wait a minute."

Zhong Yi suddenly said.

Shen Yan nodded, indicating for him to continue: "Come on, give you a chance to defend yourself."

"Junior Brother Mu definitely isn't the Scout. Why? Because I'm the Scout."

Zhong Yi looked confident.

"Think about it carefully. Haven't I been walking alone all the time?"

"I was the one who gathered everyone together and reminded them to beware of those who might cause chaos. My identity is beyond reproach!"

"Why am I daring to reveal my identity now? Because the [Death Curse Master] is gone!"

"Player 5 was the [Death Curse Master], and he guessed Player 11's identity wrong!"

"He must have guessed that Player 11 was the [Rotten Demon] because the class panel showed the [Rotten Demon]... But I think Player 11 is the [Spirit Medium], am I right?"

Seeing the surprised expressions on Shen Yan and Player 11's faces at the same time, Zhong Yi knew...

He had won his bet!
