Chen Junnan knew that no matter what, his coordinate was “-1.” He wasn’t far from this round’s questioner.

Only four people separated them.

In other words, more than half of the remaining people would be affected by his question.

Wasn’t this a good thing?

As long as he could work together with the questioner this time to kill that “3,” then Xu Qian would fall into the trap and call Earth-Snake over, and his plan would proceed to the next step.

“Finally getting interesting…”

Before long, Yun Yao called, but her tone was off.

“Chen Junnan…” Yun Yao called out. “Something seems wrong…”

“What?”

“This… this time’s question is very strange…”

“What’s strange about it?”

Yun Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, “This time the question is ‘Does a week have six days?'”

“What?”

Chen Junnan finally understood why Yun Yao felt so uneasy.

Based on previous deductions, this round’s question should have been “Should it fall?”

But why had it become this question?

“Do you think we guessed wrong… or did someone change the question?”

Chen Junnan lowered his head and carefully thought about the current situation, somewhat puzzled.

Previously, the third and sixth questions had both been “Should it fall?” but the ninth question had changed.

Could the pattern be different?

“Wait…” Chen Junnan suddenly thought of something. “Speaking of which, for the sixth question, since everyone chose ‘no,’ we also don’t know if the iron ball would actually fall.”

“This…” Yun Yao also remembered that experience. “So you’re saying… we were misled by someone at that time?”

Chen Junnan didn’t dare make a definitive conclusion, since everything came from speculation.

“Big star… I still trust my intuition.” Chen Junnan decisively stopped thinking. Sometimes the more you think, the more troublesome it becomes. “I think this question is still ‘Should it fall?’ It’s just that the person about to be crushed doesn’t want to die, so they changed the question.”

After hearing this, Yun Yao also nodded. “That makes sense. This ‘Does a week have six days?’ is clearly meant to make us choose ‘no,’ so they can survive.”

“Exactly.” Chen Junnan nodded in agreement. “This young master said before, all tactics don’t work on me. After all, I’ve already used this question-changing strategy several times myself.”

“Chang… changing questions?” Yun Yao was startled. “Chen Junnan… did you just change the question?”

“Cough cough cough cough…” Chen Junnan coughed awkwardly a few times. “How could that be, big star? I just polished the question a bit.”

Yun Yao sighed helplessly. “Alright… this time… have you decided to kill someone?”

“That’s right.” Chen Junnan smiled. “Everyone who comes to ‘The Land of Endings’ could die at any moment. Even if I don’t kill them, they’ll die here anyway. So I’ve long since lost any sense of guilt.”

“I… I understand…” Yun Yao hung up hesitantly.

Chen Junnan turned back and chose “yes,” then sat in his chair and lowered his head.

He was thinking about how to make all the remaining people choose “yes.”

What method could unite the remaining people?

A moment later, he revealed a sinister smile and pressed the dial button.

After more than ten dial tones, Xu Qian picked up the phone.

“Go ahead.”

“Sister Qian… this time’s question is interesting.”

“Interesting?”

“Yeah.” Chen Junnan smiled. “The time for us to unite is coming.”

“What… is the question?”

“The person ahead of me said… ‘Will the final chips to be divided double?'”

“Huh…?”

Xu Qian was clearly shocked by this question, but before she could raise a question, Chen Junnan spoke first.

“Sister Qian, you don’t think this is a lie, do you?” He asked.

“This…” Xu Qian on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned for a moment, then asked, “What did you choose?”

“Of course I chose ‘yes.'”

“You chose ‘yes’ without even knowing if anyone changed the question?”

“Yeah. Although I don’t know if anyone changed the question, I have nothing to lose by choosing ‘yes.'” Chen Junnan sighed. “Everyone came here to earn ‘Dao.’ Don’t you want to try?”

Xu Qian thought for a moment and felt Chen Junnan’s words made quite a bit of sense.

“You’re right… even if it’s a lie, there’s no loss in choosing ‘yes.'”

The corners of Chen Junnan’s mouth slowly curved up. Fortunately, the iron ball hadn’t fallen during the sixth round. Right now, most people were still in an ambiguous state regarding the rules. They only knew that someone had died from “sitting down” during the third question. It was currently very difficult to find a pattern.

“Exactly, Sister Qian.” Chen Junnan said. “Anyway, I’ve told you. We’re all risking our lives to participate in this game—if we can earn a bit more, that would be best.”

“Okay, I understand…” Xu Qian thought for a moment and hung up.

Chen Junnan returned to his seat and sat down. Next came a long waiting period.

Taking advantage of the free time, he made another bold hypothesis.

This time, only four people separated him from the questioner.

One of these people had changed the question.

The person who changed the question probably wasn’t Yun Yao, because doing so would have no meaning for her. In other words, the “question changer’s” range was concentrated among the remaining three people.

They were respectively the “Impatient Girl” on Yun Yao’s right, “Muffled-Voice Man,” and the person on “Muffled-Voice Man’s” right.

Chen Junnan looked at the diagram he had drawn again. For convenience of analysis, he drew a square for the person on “Muffled-Voice Man’s” right. The iron ball was suspended right above this square’s head—he was also this round’s lucky winner.

“One of these three people lied…?”

But a few seconds later, he discovered the problem—no, there was one more person.

He drew a triangle to the right of the square, then circled the triangle.

“‘Triangle’… you’re the ‘first person’ this round. You might also have modified the question the moment you received it… right?”

Just then, the screen lit up.

Chen Junnan stared intently at the words on it.

“The final answer to this question is—’Yes.'”

“BOOM—!!”

Even before finishing reading this line, a tremendous sound suddenly exploded.

Not far from Chen Junnan’s right side, a person whose appearance he didn’t even know had died.

This murder didn’t even know who the other party was—there was no motive nor any prejudice.

Killed was killed.

Chen Junnan slowly revealed a smile.

He had thought one wrong step would lead to every step being wrong.

But this step had turned out exactly right.

As expected, being human means you can’t be too cautious. When you should trust yourself, you must trust yourself.

“‘Square,’ go home early. We’ll meet again next time.”

Chen Junnan stood up and slowly walked toward the phone.
