Earth-Rabbit touched the burn scars on his body, gritted his teeth, reached out to unlock the door, then slowly pushed it open.

But the next second, the cold sneer on his face froze in place.

“The ‘Zodiac’s’ turn has ended. Now please have the ‘Participants’ begin their action.”

Chen Junnan’s laughter, which he had been holding back for a long time, finally came out. Even if human hearing was poor, it was enough to hear that “Room Sixteen” hadn’t been opened by anyone. This bold gamble had used Old Qi’s favorite method. Who would have thought that a small lie could carry through to the very end?

“Finally fell for it, damn it…”

Chen Junnan reached out to push open the door, bringing everyone inside the room together.

This was the game’s endpoint—”Room Sixteen.”

On the door not far away hung two bright red Eight Immortals couplets, and below the couplets was a ventilation opening with the words “Display Divine Powers.”

“Rabbit boy big brother, you’re really something. Having fun in ‘Room Thirteen’?” Chen Junnan took various “magical artifacts” from everyone’s hands and threw them all at once into the ventilation opening. “So when you said at the beginning that you’d get lost, you weren’t lying to us, huh?”

At this moment, everyone accompanied Jiang Shi’s miserable scream, pulled his head off, took out the final iron crutch magical artifact, and handed it to Chen Junnan.

Earth-Rabbit’s ear twitched, clearly hearing Chen Junnan’s words. Shocked expressions continuously appeared on his face.

He kept looking around the “Room Thirteen” he was in, completely unable to figure out where the problem lay.

He had already avoided all obstacles and seen through all of their schemes. Why did he still end up in “Room Thirteen”?

“Room Thirteen” and “Room Sixteen” were the lower left and lower right corners of the entire board, quite far apart.

Exactly when had his sense of direction been confused?

The ventilation opening—some unknown device—was identifying the various magical artifacts. Within seconds, two doors clicked open. The foul air from outside drifted in, echoing with the rotting smell inside the room.

The broadcast also transmitted a burst of static as the wooden doors opened: “The ‘Participants’ have opened the escape door. Please have the ‘Zodiac’ respond quickly.”

“Oh.” Chen Junnan sneered coldly. “You heartless rabbit boy are full of schemes, aren’t you? There’s even this kind of hint?”

The ice-cold broadcast seemed like a taunt, making Earth-Rabbit’s expression, though separated by a great distance, look exceptionally ugly.

Never mind the next round—even if given two more rounds, he couldn’t reach “Room Sixteen.”

He laughed bitterly. His enormous body suddenly lost strength and collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

What exactly was going on?

Clearly he had already started using his brain, clearly he was no longer relying on the powerful body he was so proud of, yet he still couldn’t win.

“So tired…” Earth-Rabbit leaned backward and lay on the ground with a relieved expression. “It’s been so long since I’ve been this tired… Can’t win in a fight, can’t win in a contest of wits… Really don’t have any way at all, hahahaha.”

He coughed a few times, touched the wounds all over his body, then looked up and said: “Not playing anymore. I admit defeat.”

The broadcast on the ceiling once again made a static sound at this moment, except this time the sound lasted longer than any previous time. Only after more than twenty seconds did a cold voice sound above everyone’s heads: “The ‘Zodiac’ voluntarily admits defeat. The ‘Participants’ are victorious.”

As soon as the words fell, all the room doors opened simultaneously. The broadcast made a few more sounds before completely going silent.

Chen Junnan turned his head and directly saw Earth-Rabbit in “Room Thirteen” through the opened doors. He was currently lying comfortably on the ground, looking very fatigued.

“Hey, rabbit boy big brother, we’re leaving now?” Chen Junnan shouted.

Earth-Rabbit, lying on the ground, turned his head back. Only then did everyone discover what a perilous battle he and Song Qi had engaged in. His upper body, legs, face, and ears were all covered with fresh blood and scorch marks, as if he had walked through flames.

Hearing Chen Junnan’s question, Earth-Rabbit turned his head expressionlessly to look at everyone, then took a deep breath, got up from the ground, and approached Room Sixteen step by step.

“Idiot leader…” Jiang Shi looked at Earth-Rabbit with a sense of foreboding, hugged his own head, left the group, and walked forward a step. “I feel he hasn’t given up. Do you all want to leave first? Good and evil will eventually be repaid, the righteous path of humanity is vicissitudes. This time I can still block him.”

“Stop with the opening poem. You don’t need to worry.” Chen Junnan reached out and patted Jiang Shi’s shoulder. Jiang Shi also turned around at this moment, but still had no head. Chen Junnan sighed and said, “I almost forgot you’re a headless man.”

“You…” Jiang Shi wanted to be angry, but didn’t know what point to be angry about. He could only ask quietly, “What exactly is a ‘headless man’?”

“Forget it.” Chen Junnan waved his hand. “What’s the use of knowing this? Anyway, don’t worry. That rabbit can’t make a move.”

“Hm? Why?”

“You rarely participate in games so you might not be too clear. Under normal circumstances, the ‘Zodiac’ will only kill people during the game phase. Now that the game has ended, he can no longer actively kill us.” Chen Junnan said, “This time we won. No need to be nervous.”

Earth-Rabbit walked step by step to everyone. His build was extremely tall, and the ears on his head stood up high, causing him to have to bow his head slightly every time he entered a door.

“Rabbit boy big brother’s body is quite good, quite robust, right? With this physique of yours, you’ll definitely live until you die.”

Hearing Chen Junnan’s words, Earth-Rabbit didn’t care at all. He just looked at him seriously and opened his mouth to ask: “What kind of trick did you pull? How exactly did you make me lose my sense of direction?”

“Ha…” Chen Junnan laughed. “Why don’t you guess first? I’d also like to see how much skill I learned from Old Qi.”

“Old Qi is…?” Earth-Rabbit asked.

“A really good person.” Chen Junnan said without hesitation. “It’s just that he has the talent to be a con artist, so I also learned a couple of moves from him.”

“Con artist…” Earth-Rabbit nodded and thought seriously before saying, “Then I understand… The scheme you just used should have been right after Song Qi and I fought. You sent someone to whisper in my ear, and deliberately wrote ‘All Maintain Silence’ in ‘Room Ten,’ which I shouldn’t have passed through, making me cleverly choose the opposite direction. That should be the moment when you deceived me. While I was advancing toward ‘Room Thirteen,’ you led the remaining team members toward ‘Room Sixteen’ in the opposite direction. This way, even if I learned the truth, it would be completely too late, since we were heading in opposite directions. Am I right?”

Chen Junnan listened for a long time, slowly blinked his eyes, and said: “What the hell are you babbling about? You didn’t get a single thing right.”
