Top Horror Novelist - Chapter 13-2

Ah Si didn’t say the second half of his sentence, but everyone knew what he was thinking.

When the other players heard this, they instantly exploded.

The couple on the Morning Star List are the notorious lover of massacre, and none of the people who entered the instance with them came back. Even the players who passed the level would be killed by them. They said that God only needs one sun, so only the pair of lovers were enough to pass the level.

The couple was notorious, and other players were both disgusted and fearful of them, lest they be unlucky enough to end up in the same instance as the other party.

Now when Ah Si said this, even the players who were not swayed by Ah Si at first all looked at Chi Yiyin and sized him up and down.

Li Li raised his hand, stroked his unshaven chin, and asked his companion with his eyes.

His companion is a young boy who is always unable to lift his spirits. Not only does his face looked immature, but he even has two rabbit ears on his sweater.

But Li Li trusted his companion very much, and even firmly believed in the strength of his companion.

The companion was silent, but since Chi Yiyin entered the banquet hall, he had been watching his every move.

When he looked at Chi Yiyin, he had a strong premonition in his heart.

If anyone can compete with them in this instance…

It would only be Chi Yiyin.

Ah Si is impossible, and Tong Yao is not worth mentioning.

At this time, as soon as Ah Si’s words came out of his mouth, his companion laughed, “Pfft!”

What a joke.

The companion silently mouthed to Li Li, with contemptuous eyes: If it was the butcher couple, would we not notice it? That’s the people on the Bounty List.

Li Li was thoughtful: Then who do you think is this Chi Yiyin? On the Morning Star and the Heavenly List, there seemed to be no such appearance. Could it be that a special prop was really used?

But the companion shook his head and smiled contemptuously: A group of idiots, who even said they were old players, but couldn’t even tell apart the newcomers.

He looked at Chi Yiyin with his eyes closed tightly, and then said to Li Li word by word: Chi Yiyin is a newcomer.

Li Li: ! ! !

“Impossible!”

He subconsciously blurted out.

But Li Li had forgotten about the silence in the room now.

This made his voice very eye-catching. All the players looked at him, even Tong Yao looked at him in surprise, wondering why he suddenly spoke for Chi Yiyin.

“Are you refuting my guess now, saying that Chi Yiyin and the other are not the butcher couple?”

Ah Si lowered his face unhappily: “Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, then I can only think that the four of you are all in the same group.”

Li Li: “…”

The companion rolled his eyes: You deserve it, who told you to take the initiative to provoke a fool.

But Li Li quickly regained his composure. He did not accuse Chi Yiyin as Ah Si wanted, nor did he say that Chi Yiyin was wrong.

After all, if Chi Yiyin was really a newcomer… it would be too scary.

A rookie was able to fool him from the very beginning on the train, and made almost everyone acquiesced that the rookie was actually an old player, even guessed he was on the Morning Star List…

Li Li did not dare to think about how this newcomer would grow if he was given enough time and experience.

After being reminded by his companions, Li Li slowly realized how scary Chi Yiyin was. He stepped back and found that Chi Yiyin had been using ambiguous words and actions to lead them to think that he was an old player suspected of pretending to be a newcomer.

The cold feeling gradually spread along Li Li’s back, making his hair stood on end, and he shivered uncontrollably.

His gaze at Chi Yiyin also darkened.

For this kind of person, he only had two ways to deal with it.

Either win them over, or act first and kill Chi Yiyin.

In the banquet hall, it was still quiet. All the players including Tong Yao were looking at Li Li, wanting to wait for the speech of this well-known player on the Morning Star List.

Li Li’s words may change the current situation.

Tong Yao’s hands on the table could not help but slowly tightened, her heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she began to feel uneasy.

But Chi Yiyin sent her a text message: [Thank you for speaking up for me. Leave the rest to me.]

Tong Yao glanced at Chi Yiyin. Although she didn’t understand why Chi Yiyin had to close his eyes, this did not hinder her trust in Chi Yiyin.

After receiving clear instructions, Tong Yao let out a sigh of relief and sat down again with a relaxed expression and even a smile.

The players paying attention to Tong Yao: ???

How can you be so leisurely when you are about to be cast to death?

Their eyes glanced suspiciously between Tong Yao and Chi Yiyin, and for a moment they didn’t know who was right or wrong between Ah Si and Chi Yiyin.

Because of this, they entrusted Li Li with the final decision.

The audience in the live broadcast room were onlookers and could see clearly.

[Ah Si, this fox! Goodness gracious, he’s been doing this for 10 years, right? Yet some people still believe it.]

[They can’t see what we see, so it’s normal for them to believe it? However, Chi Yiyin is in danger, and is very likely to be cast to death.]

[If all players expressed their opinion together, it will trigger a special voting session for the instance, right? The key now depends on Li Li. I feel that Chi Yiyin’s situation is over and there is nothing he can do, alas.]

[However, it’s not quite right to say it’s the Butcher Couple? Although I haven’t seen their selected instance this time, I seem to have heard that they are still preparing for the next instance.]

[What matters now is not the truth, but public opinion. And public opinion can kill, as long as everyone thinks that Chi Yiyin is the butcher, then he is, and he deserves to die.]

[It’s over! Ahhh! What is he going to do! So nervous, so nervous, it feels like my heart is beating faster.]

[I also… originally wanted to find a pastime, but I didn’t expect this instance to be so exciting. However, is he a rookie or an old player? I’m a little confused.]

[I think he’s an old player, that’s pretending to be a newcomer, tricking other people into being fooled, and then doing something. After all, have you ever seen a rookie who can trigger an entire instance’s hatred?]

[Now that you say it, it seems to be correct.]

Just when everyone was worried about Chi Yiyin, he himself was extremely calm. As if what everyone was discussing now was not his life or death at all.

Feeling that everyone’s eyes were on him, Chi Yiyin smiled slightly, and said before Li Li: “I’m not going to reveal my identity, you can guess for yourself. But before making a decision…”

He hooked his lips and said softly: “Try to recall another one first.”

As soon as these words came out, many old players’ eyes widened instantly, and the rest of them were shaken again, and began to look at the people around them with apprehensive eyes.

Only Tong Yao looked at Chi Yiyin in shock, as if she knew an inside matter.

Chi Yiyin tilted his head, as if confirming Tong Yao’s guess.

Before, Tong Yao told him all the information she knew in order to confide in him. Among which she mentioned an old player in the Morning Star List.

It is said that the player is the best at manipulating people’s hearts, and made the instance into his personal game field—just like the title Carnival Game Field.

He would incite other players to fight him together, and then when the players think they had succeeded, he would laugh and reveal the mystery.

Then, those players who attacked him were all killed by him without exception.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.

Chi Yiyin had always believed that there was no worthless information. Only those who had the information did not realize the value and used the information in the wrong place.

Therefore, when Ah Si deliberately guessed his identity and made other players hostile to him, a plan of deception had already taken shape in Chi Yiyin’s mind.

——Since you said that I am an old player on the Morning Star List, wouldn’t it be a disappointment if I said that I am not?

However, since he wanted to play a game, he had to follow his own rules.

For example……

Let’s change our identity to guess.

Let’s choose—

Am I the butcher who kills everyone, or the psycho who kills only those who attacked me?

As soon as Chi Yiyin said these words, the effect was immediate.

All the players hesitated to step forward, and began to retreat in their hearts.

Even Li Li blinked, and couldn’t help but look down at his companion: Huh? Did you guess wrong?

The companion: … Scram! You idiot, can’t you see that Chi Yiyin is messing with everyone?

The companion gritted his teeth and felt that he should change to a reliable partner.

But the way he looked at Chi Yiyin changed.

To win over, or to destroy… It’s really hard to choose.

“If you have made a decision, please do it as soon as possible.”

Chi Yiyin smiled lightly, with a calm expression: “We haven’t discussed the truth about the aunt that all of you don’t know, have we?”

“The instance freeze time is limited, don’t waste it in vain.”

He bent his slender fingers, tapped the table in front of him, and called out, “System, can we start voting?”

The second before everyone started to waver, the system that had been silent all this time immediately went online. It took advantage of everyone’s unanimous voting ideas at this moment to open a special voting channel.

[The voting system has been activated. Please choose the candidate who needs to be voted out. Note that death will only take effect if everyone, except the voter themselves, votes for them unanimously.]

[I wish all the survivors good luck.]

Immediately, some players were stunned and wanted to go back on their word: “Wait! I didn’t say to vote. Doesn’t it need everyone to agree to open it?”

[Objection is invalid. Please start voting as soon as possible. The countdown starts now. Please vote within 60 seconds, otherwise the system will automatically determine that the entire instance has failed. 60, 59,…]

Players and spectators were all in an uproar, and the unbelievable noise lifted the roof.

But only Chi Yiyin had expected this outcome a long time ago, and this old god was sitting in place.

From the very beginning, he could clearly see the system’s character that likes to watch some excitement. He knew that as long as someone had this idea, the system would try its best to let the voting began.

And the vote that Ah Si originally wanted to use to kill him can just be used by him in turn…to kill Ah Si!

Chi Yiyin thought so in his heart, but smiled more gently: “Before voting, I want to say a few words.”

He looked at Ah Si and said, “Didn’t your customer already sent you the money? Ah Si, remember to cheer up after I die.”

Chi Yiyin’s words were full of meaning, and the banquet hall, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone understood what he meant.

This meant… Ah Si will definitely kill them, clear the instance, and take away the reward.

Ah Si suddenly panicked, he stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, trying to defend himself: “I didn’t! He’s lying, Chi Yiyin is lying to you!”

However, no one was willing to believe in Ah Si’s words anymore.

As the sound of the countdown became more and more tense, the players silently pressed their voting buttons.

And the people they chose…

It was Ah Si!

The system’s satisfied voice sounded: [No one abstained, unanimous vote is passed, the survivor Ah Si will be voted to death]

[Survivor Ah Si please prepare. Countdown 3, 2, 1…]

“I’m not, I don’t! You listen to my explanation!!!”

But amid Ah Si’s shouts, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist, scattering on the table.

The players all looked at Ah Si’s blurred flesh and blood indifferently. No one cared about his life, they only cared about their own safety.

Li Li, who had been sitting languidly at the end of the long table, pursed his mouth in disapproval.

Meanwhile, Chi Yiyin quietly waited for the players to calm down from the voting just now. He then spoke: “Since the person with an ulterior motive has been voted out, we can now continue.”

“What was it about again?”

He tilted his head and chuckled, “Oh, yes, it’s the aunt.”

After what happened just now, all the players’ trust and admiration for Ah Si turned to Chi Yiyin.

He sat at the first position of the long table, with a calm demeanor, and spoke with confidence.

In the live broadcast room, there was a deathly silence, and after a long while, someone asked with a shiver: [You just… just now who said he was a newcomer?]

No one answered.

But a teenager who was watching the live broadcast tilted his head in doubt: “Huh?”

If you were me, then who am I?

—Chi Yiyin didn’t expect that the master he was pretending to be…

Just happened to be watching his live broadcast.
