Chapter 99

If possible, Qixia really wanted to ask the human sheep for an explanation.

Why did the card he received have such a sentence written on it?

But if the human sheep were to survive, the game "participants" would lose.

In other words, no matter what, he could not figure out the human sheep's thoughts, and he did not know if Officer Li had received the same card.

When everyone was excited about being able to stand up again, Qixia was always focused on another issue.

"What important message did the human sheep convey?"

Wait, the human sheep could lie, could he have conveyed a false message?

Qixia never knew whether to trust him.

Now that the "Liar" game was over, would there be any problem if he let others know he had the "game strategy" for the next round?

To be safe, Qixia decided to temporarily follow the human sheep's instructions, as it would cause him no loss.

Even if he kept everything secret, he could still lead everyone to escape from the house.

Qixia tried to act as he did last time, leading everyone to discover the text under the human sheep's mask.

But this time, Qixia also tried to collect the clues he had missed last time.

As everyone examined the human sheep's mask, he and Officer Li exchanged a meaningful glance and approached the human sheep together.

Officer Li looked at Qixia meaningfully, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Qixia also did not speak, and the two of them, as if by tacit agreement, began to search the human sheep's body.

Last time, they only looked at each other's masks and did not search each other's bodies.

What Qixia did not expect was that the human sheep did not have a single "Dao."

He was even more convinced that Officer Li remembered everything, because the gun the human sheep used to commit suicide was clearly placed aside, but Officer Li did not even glance at it.

"What is this?" Officer Li searched the human sheep's pocket and found a piece of paper. He glanced at it and handed it directly to Qixia.

Qixia naturally took it, read it carefully, and instantly looked puzzled.

It was a signed contract.

The beginning of the document read "Zodiac Ascension Gambling Contract."

"This is..."

"You keep it first." Officer Li patted Qixia's hand, "Look at it outside."

Qixia knew this was not the place to talk, so he folded the contract and put it in his pocket.

It seemed he had really obtained something significant this time. The zodiac had this contract but no "Dao," indicating a fundamental difference from the other zodiacs.

When the harpoons came, everything in the house would be damaged.

Last time, Qixia was only focused on how to escape and ignored these clues.

"What does 'after the rain, the bamboo shoots' mean?"

"What does 'turn a hundred circles toward your hometown' mean?"

The crowd in the distance asked in a cacophony of voices.

For Qixia, he now needed to act skillfully to lead everyone to escape as he did last time without showing any emotion.

"If you are too tired, I can give the answers for the next game," Officer Li whispered.

"I'm not doubting you, but you can't handle those 'moral experts,'" Qixia whispered back, "I have no burden and can deal with them better."

Qixia walked to the table and slowly stood next to Jiao Jiajin.

"Mr. Jiao, I need your help," Qixia said.

"Mr. Jiao...?" Jiao Jiajin was taken aback and instantly wore a proud smile, "You speak so nicely, I'll protect you from now on. What help do you need?"

Hearing this, Qixia felt somewhat reassured: "Later, you must put all your effort into helping everyone survive."

"Oh?"

At this moment, everyone noticed that the walls around them were changing like clay, revealing rows of holes. Just as they were about to go and check, Qixia stopped them.

He turned to the crowd and said:

"Everyone, don't worry about the walls. I've found the answer. 'Turn a hundred circles toward your hometown' means finding something and turning it a hundred circles to the right."

"Right side?" The crowd looked at Qixia, "Why the right side?"

Qixia picked up a piece of white paper, drew a simple sketch, and patiently explained to everyone.

"I see, you are so smart," Lin Qi nodded, "But what should we turn a hundred circles?"

"Could it be ourselves?" Tian Tian blinked, "Should we turn ourselves a hundred circles to the right?"

Qixia shook his head, "Everyone, find something in this room that can be turned, besides yourselves."

Han Yimo was the first to discover that the tabletop in front of him could turn, and he quickly told everyone.

Under Qixia's leadership, everyone began to turn the tabletop to the right in an orderly manner. Everything seemed to be under control so far.

This time, Jiao Jiajin was particularly enthusiastic, shouting slogans to lead everyone in turning the table.

After turning a hundred circles, the tabletop was again divided into nine pieces by a laser. This time, everyone got the table pieces about five minutes earlier than last time.

"Next, I will tell you what the second part of the hint, 'after the rain, the bamboo shoots,' means."

He had everyone hold the table pieces and explained how to form a cone. This time, with experience, he told everyone in advance not to let any gaps appear between the table pieces.

Qixia was still a bit worried, after all, the harpoons last time directly led to Han Yimo's death. If possible, he wanted to save this person's life.

While everyone praised Qixia's intelligence, they also had some doubts.

Why was this person so organized?

Not only did he solve the game, but he also predicted what would happen next, making it seem as if he had designed the game himself.

"Why are we arranging the table pieces like this?" Jiao Jiajin asked, "Is it going to rain soon?"

"Not exactly, after we arrange the table pieces, we will..."

Before he could finish, Qixia glanced at Han Yimo and noticed that his forehead was sweating profusely and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Han Yimo, are you... okay?"

Han Yimo smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine... I'm just a bit scared."

Qixia frowned, "What are you afraid of?"

"I..."

Before Han Yimo could answer, a loud bell rang in the distance.

"Clang"!!

Qixia's eyes widened instantly; this experience was all too familiar.

Han Yimo was trembling.

He grabbed Han Yimo's shoulder, suppressing his voice and looking anxious, "Han Yimo, I've already explained everything to everyone in advance, what are you afraid of?"

"I... I..."

"Tell me!" Qixia was indeed getting anxious, and he had a very ominous feeling.

"I'm afraid of the harpoons..." Han Yimo looked genuinely terrified, cold sweat sliding down his forehead, "I feel like the harpoons will definitely pierce me..."

Hearing this, Qixia's expression gradually turned cold.

"Han Yimo... I never said that the things coming out of the holes were harpoons?"
