If it were possible, Qi Xia really wanted to ask the Man-Goat for clarity.

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

But if the Man-Goat survived, the “Participants” would lose this game.

In other words, there was no way he could figure out the Man-Goat’s intentions, and he didn’t know if Officer Li had received the same card.

When everyone else was excited about being able to stand up again, Qi Xia was constantly focused on another question.

“What exactly is the important information the Man-Goat is transmitting?”

Wait, the Man-Goat could lie. Was it possible he had transmitted false information?

Qi Xia still couldn’t figure out whether he should trust him.

Now that the “Liar” game had ended, if he let others know he possessed the “game walkthrough” for what came next, would problems arise?

To be safe, Qi Xia decided to temporarily follow the Man-Goat’s wishes. After all, this caused him no loss.

Even if he concealed everything, he could still lead everyone to escape this room.

Qi Xia tried his best to act like last time, leading everyone to discover the text beneath the Man-Goat’s mask.

But this time, Qi Xia also had to collect as many clues as possible that he’d missed last time.

While everyone was examining the Man-Goat’s mask, he and Officer Li simultaneously came to the Man-Goat’s side.

Officer Li looked at Qi Xia meaningfully, opened his mouth, but didn’t speak.

Qi Xia also didn’t speak. The two seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding as they began simultaneously searching the Man-Goat’s remains.

Last time they had only looked at his mask and hadn’t searched his body.

What caught Qi Xia completely off guard was that the Man-Goat didn’t even have a single “Tao” on him.

He was even more certain that Officer Li beside him remembered everything, because the handgun the Man-Goat had used for suicide was clearly lying to the side, yet Officer Li hadn’t even glanced at it.

“What’s this?” Officer Li searched out a piece of paper from the Man-Goat’s pocket. He scanned it briefly and handed it directly to Qi Xia.

Qi Xia naturally took it and read it carefully, instantly showing a puzzled expression.

This was a signed contract.

The header of the document read “Zodiac Ascension Gambling Contract.”

“This is…”

“You hold onto it for now.” Officer Li patted Qi Xia’s hand. “Look at it after we get out.”

Qi Xia also knew this wasn’t the place to talk, so he folded the contract and put it in his pocket.

It seemed this time they had truly obtained something incredible. This Zodiac had this contract on him but no “Tao,” indicating he was fundamentally different from the other Zodiacs.

When the harpoons came, everything in the room would be destroyed.

Last time, Qi Xia had only focused on considering how to escape and had overlooked these clues.

“What does ‘Bamboo Shoots After Rain’ mean?”

“And what about turning one hundred circles toward your hometown direction?”

The crowd in the distance chattered away with questions.

For Qi Xia, what he needed now was exquisite acting skills to allow him to lead everyone to escape just as inconspicuously as last time.

“If it’s too hard for you, I can give the answers in the next game.” Officer Li said in a low voice.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but you can’t handle those ‘moral experts.'” Qi Xia quietly replied. “I have no baggage, so I’m better at dealing with them.”

Qi Xia walked toward the table and slowly stood beside Qiao Jiajin.

“Master Qiao, I need your help.” Qi Xia said.

“‘Master Qiao’…?” Qiao Jiajin was stunned, then instantly showed a proud smile. “You speak very pleasantly, young man. I’ll look after you from now on. What help do you need?”

Hearing him say this, Qi Xia felt inexplicably reassured: “In a moment, give it your all and help everyone survive.”

“Oh?”

At this moment, everyone discovered that the surrounding walls were changing like putty, revealing rows of holes. Just as everyone was about to step forward to examine them, they were stopped by Qi Xia.

He turned to everyone and said:

“Everyone, don’t worry about the walls first. I’ve found the answer. Turning one hundred circles toward your hometown means finding something and turning it one hundred circles to the right.”

“To the right?” When everyone heard Qi Xia speak, they all turned to look at him. “Why to the right?”

Qi Xia picked up a piece of white paper, drew a simple sketch, and then patiently explained it to everyone.

“I see, you’re so clever.” Lin Qin nodded. “But what do we need to turn one hundred circles?”

“Could it be ourselves?” Tiantian blinked and asked. “Do we ourselves turn one hundred circles to the right?”

Qi Xia shook his head and said: “Everyone, look around this room. Besides yourselves, what else can be turned?”

Han Yimo was the first to discover that the tabletop in front of them could actually turn, and quickly told everyone this news.

Under Qi Xia’s leadership, everyone began orderly turning the tabletop to the right. Currently, everything seemed under control.

This time, Qiao Jiajin was especially energetic, shouting slogans as he led everyone in turning the table.

After one hundred circles were completed, the tabletop was once again divided into nine pieces by lasers. This time, everyone obtained their table boards nearly five minutes earlier than last time.

“Next, I’ll tell everyone what the second half of the hint, ‘Bamboo Shoots After Rain,’ means.”

He had everyone hold their table boards, then explained how to form them into a cone shape. This time he had experience and told everyone in advance that no matter what happened, they must not let gaps appear between the table boards.

Qi Xia was still somewhat worried. After all, last time the harpoons had directly led to Han Yimo’s death. If possible, he wanted to try his best to preserve this person’s life.

While everyone marveled at Qi Xia’s cleverness, they couldn’t help but feel somewhat suspicious.

Why was this person in front of them so methodical?

He had not only solved the game but also predicted in advance what would happen next. It looked as if he had designed this game himself.

“Why are we arranging the table boards like this?” Qiao Jiajin asked. “Is it really going to rain in a moment?”

“Not exactly. In a moment, after we’ve arranged the table boards, we’ll…”

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Xia inadvertently glanced at Han Yimo and found that quite a bit of cold sweat had seeped onto his forehead, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

“Han Yimo, you… are you all right?”

Han Yimo smiled and shook his head: “I’m fine… I’m just a bit scared.”

Qi Xia furrowed his brow and asked: “What are you afraid of?”

“I…”

Before Han Yimo could answer, a tremendous chime rang out from the distance.

“DONG”!!!

Qi Xia’s eyes instantly widened. This entire experience was too familiar.

Han Yimo had Echoed.

He grabbed Han Yimo’s shoulder and asked urgently in a suppressed voice: “Han Yimo, I’ve already explained all the situations to everyone in advance. What exactly are you afraid of?”

“I… I…”

“Speak!” Qi Xia was indeed getting anxious. He had a very ominous premonition.

“I’m afraid of those harpoons…” Han Yimo looked truly terrified, cold sweat sliding down from his forehead. “I feel like those harpoons will definitely pierce through me…”

Hearing this sentence, Qi Xia’s expression gradually turned stern.

“Han Yimo… when did I ever say that what would shoot out from those holes were harpoons?”
