Those with keen minds glanced into the room after Earth-Dog finished speaking, feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

At this moment, four people were fighting and killing each other. To get all four “Earth-level” beings completely drunk would require an enormous amount of alcohol, but there clearly weren’t that many bottles in the room.

Standing behind the crowd was a tall Earth-Rabbit completely wrapped in bandages. After seeing the fight break out inside, he kept leaning sideways to look into the door, as if observing something.

Earth-Dog felt that the person before him looked somewhat unfamiliar, so he simply didn’t bother with him anymore. He just said to everyone again, “In any case, there’s no need to gather here. I guarantee no one will die tonight. It’s just a fight—haven’t you seen one before?”

Although it was “just a fight,” this was after all a battle between “Earth-level” beings. Generally speaking, “Earth-level” Zodiacs valued their lives more than any other “Zodiac.” How could they possibly get into a group brawl for no reason?

The last large-scale conflict like this was between Baiyang and Earth-Snake. At that time, Earth-Snake had multiple bones broken and spent months recuperating.

Now with four people fighting together, wouldn’t the outcome be even more worrying than that time?

“Um…” The tall Earth-Rabbit called out from behind the crowd. “Do you need help breaking up the fight?”

“No need.” Earth-Dog smiled slightly. “Right now is ‘off-duty time’ for all of you, isn’t it? Rather than waste time here, you might as well go eat something good. I’ll handle things here.”

After casually brushing them off with a couple of sentences, Earth-Dog turned around to close the door, but suddenly felt a powerful force holding the door open.

It was still that Earth-Rabbit.

“What?” Earth-Dog turned his head back and discovered that Earth-Rabbit had already pushed through the crowd to stand before him. Instantly becoming cautious, a trace of displeasure showed in his eyes.

“Do you need help breaking up the fight?” Earth-Rabbit asked again.

“No need, thank you very much.” Earth-Dog answered expressionlessly.

“Are you sure…?” Earth-Rabbit frowned, and the ears on top of his head also twitched. “I am ‘Earth-Rabbit.'”

Only then did Earth-Dog understand what Earth-Rabbit meant.

This tall gray-white rabbit had already heard his conversation with Corporate Slave Mouse just now. Although his hearing was limited and couldn’t serve as the ears for the entire “Train,” at such a close distance he should have been able to accurately capture all the information.

Earth-Dog slowly opened the door wider and looked Earth-Rabbit up and down, feeling somewhat strange.

He was clearly a very strong Earth-level being, yet the places wrapped in gauze on his body were all seeping blood—he had obviously been beaten and injured.

Recently there hadn’t been any reports of fights breaking out between other “Zodiacs.” Could it have been done by a “Participant”?

At this moment, Earth-Dog kept wondering in his heart—this was an Earth-Rabbit injured by a “Participant”?

“What exactly do you want to do…?” Earth-Dog confirmed again.

After all, situations where four “Earth-level” beings fought were extremely rare. Normal “Zodiacs,” in order to avoid getting caught up in trouble, would naturally avoid it at all costs. Yet this person not only eavesdropped on his conversation but even insisted on forcibly getting involved.

“I said before, I want to break up the fight.” Earth-Rabbit’s palm was on the door. He looked very insistent and didn’t intend to back down.

Earth-Dog narrowed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, feeling that if the other party wanted to expose this matter, he could have said so directly long ago.

Yet he had been deliberately concealing it. Could he also be a “seed” that Baiyang planted on the outside?

Thinking about it carefully, to be able to force an Earth-level Zodiac into a desperate situation and cover him with injuries, this “Participant” must definitely not be any ordinary figure. Explained this way, it seemed very reasonable.

But how exactly did Baiyang do it?

Why could he participate in so many “Earth-level” games in a single day and then shake people’s hearts?

Could there be a powerful “Baiyang Team” outside?

“You… since you’re not afraid of death, come in then.”

The two exchanged glances, then walked into the room and closed the door.

Corporate Slave Mouse was naturally somewhat puzzled when he saw this scene. His intention was for Earth-Dog to go to the door to disperse the onlooking Zodiacs to prevent other people from getting involved, yet he directly brought an “Earth-level” being inside.

Now a not-very-large room had gathered a full seven Earth-levels.

Four of them were fighting to the death, while the remaining three just watched quietly.

“Leader Dog, what’s this about?” Earth-Mouse asked.

“I don’t know either.” Decadent Dog sat to the side with a completely unconcerned look. “He looks like he came looking for death. I couldn’t stop him, and I couldn’t drive him away either.”

Earth-Rabbit, covering the bandages on his body, nodded slightly to the two in greeting, then said, “Today I promised someone that if I discovered any other ‘Zodiacs’ acting strangely, I would follow and take a look.”

“That’s it?” Decadent Dog thought for a moment and asked, “Is the person who asked you to do this a serious, meticulous-minded young man?”

“Uh…” Earth-Rabbit thought back after hearing this, and Chen Junnan’s arrogant face floated up in his mind. “If you say ‘meticulous mind,’ that might barely count, but to say ‘serious’ is really too far-fetched… His words could be numerous enough to annoy me to death…”

“This… could there be other people doing this?” Earth-Mouse looked at Earth-Dog and asked.

After hearing this, Earth-Dog shook his head. Too many coincidences naturally weren’t coincidences.

He was more inclined to believe his own deduction—it wasn’t that other people happened to be doing this, but that Baiyang had organized a team and was systematically and organizationally inciting the “Zodiacs.”

“So you also heard our conversation…” Earth-Dog said. “What is your choice?”

Earth-Rabbit lowered his head and after a few seconds of silence said, “I want to ask, did Baiyang really not ascend to ‘Heaven’ at that time? Do you have any actual evidence?”

“No.” Earth-Dog shook his head. “All our evidence comes from Pei Qianhu’s speculation. This is a huge gamble for us.”

“What…?” Earth-Rabbit frowned and looked at the two. “Betting your lives on ‘speculation’?”

“Originally we all thought it was speculation, but tonight too many ‘Zodiacs’ have stepped into this room. Your arrivals are gradually making this matter a certainty.” Earth-Dog answered.

While several people were talking, not far away Black Sheep and Earth-Horse were once again both sent flying. After the two landed, they didn’t get up for a long time—they had probably reached their limits.

Before long, Earth-Sheep used his hand to prop himself up off the ground, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, then picked up a broken metal table leg from the ground. Subsequently, as if manipulating a piece of paper, he tore it open with his hands, creating an extremely sharp edge.

“Don’t take me too lightly…” Earth-Sheep extended a thumb to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, walking step by step to Earth-Horse’s side and raising the table leg in his hand. “Not a single ‘Sheep’ in this place is easy to provoke.”

Seeing the situation turning bad, Earth-Mouse hurried forward and pressed down on Earth-Sheep’s hand. “Leader, listen to me… the crime of ‘Zodiac killing Zodiac’ is no small matter. Have you thought this through?”

“After all, I’m also Brother Sheep’s student. How could I be that impulsive?” Earth-Sheep sighed and pushed Earth-Mouse’s hand away.

“That’s good, you—”

Before Earth-Mouse could finish speaking, Earth-Sheep thrust the metal table leg in his hand toward Earth-Horse’s ankle with lightning speed, directly nailing her calf to the ground.

A heart-rending scream instantly exploded forth.

“Brother Sheep told me that when you can’t kill an enemy due to propriety, find a way to cripple them instead.”
