GBP Chapter 23 Execution
Chapter 23 Execution
Not only Lin Zhi and Jiang Lin, but Zhang Xu'an was also deeply disturbed. Because in Zhang Xu'an's deduction, number 10 was more like a wolf than number 5.
If Ji Xingyi were a bad guy, he should have stuck to Number 5's story and denied Crow's existence to have a chance of protecting Jiang Lin. Instead, the handsome young man in front of him stepped forward to corroborate Crow's existence.
Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?
Zhang Xu'an looked at him in disbelief: "You're actually a good person?"
Ji Xingyi: "Of course I'm a good person."
Zhao Wei's face darkened, and he gave Jiang Lin a reproachful look.
"Time is running out, who should we vote for?" Lin Zhi crossed her arms and scanned the three people.
Xu Lina met Lin Zhi's scrutinizing gaze and her eyes immediately reddened: "I'm not a crow, I'm not a ghost, I'm scared, I've never been outside, you have to believe me!"
Xu Lina had helped Linzhi in the previous round, so the short-haired girl hesitated before turning to numbers 5 and 9: "If it's not her, then it's you two. 59, the Twin Wolves?"
“If you say I’m a crow, then produce the evidence!” Zhao Wei was not a crow to begin with, and he replied with a straight face.
Xu Lina grabbed Zhao Wei's hand, nervously saying, "Brother Wei isn't a ghost! We've always been together! He's definitely not the crow you're talking about! I swear!"
“56 two-round mutual insurance? Then…” Lu Xiaohu looked at Jiang Lin nervously: “Then… number 9?”
"Heh," Jiang Lin glared coldly, "What, you said I made the first cut, and now you want to pin the second one on me? These two women shed a few tears and you think you can fool them?"
“Wait, I have some information that can prove that number 5 is not a crow.” Just then, number 1, Wang Weiwen, who had been silent all along, spoke up. Under everyone’s gaze, he took out a brass-colored Sinan from his system pocket.
(Sinan: Select a player and track their location for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 90 seconds.)
"When I heard you mention the crow, I used Sinan to locate player number 5. Player number 5 didn't move quickly, so according to the rules, he shouldn't be the crow, right?" Wang Weiwen was sweating profusely with nervousness. He didn't want to wrongly identify a good person, not out of guilt, but out of fear—fear that wrongly identifying a good person would lead to the game's failure.
Zhang Xu'an's lips curved into a wider smile, and even his black-rimmed glasses couldn't hide the amusement in his eyes: "Number 9, stop making excuses and think about how to leave your last words!"
Faced with the encirclement and attack of the crowd, Jiang Lin simply watched Ji Xingyi quietly, while Zhao Wei's heart was in his throat.
Just when everyone thought Jiang Lin would give up, a prop appeared in the young man's hand.
This prop instantly wiped the smile off Zhang Xu'an's face.
This is a bronze candlestick, and the red candle on it has gone out.
(Ghost Candle: On Scarlet Night, if the Ghost Bride is within 10 meters, the candle will turn blue; if within 3 meters, the candle will go out.)
"Why would I leave a will? Whether there are crows or not, I'm not going to be the one to be operated on this time," Jiang Lin said, toying with the ghost candle in his hand and looking at Zhang Xu'an with a mocking expression. "Number 8, you seem quite disappointed?"
Zhang Xu'an's lips twitched with anger. In order not to lose his composure in front of Jiang Lin, he forced a smile, but it was an ugly, insincere one: "You... are very good!"
The group exchanged bewildered glances. The ghost candle would only extinguish when the Scarlet Night approached the Ghost Bride, and the item was not tradable. There was no stronger proof of innocence than the ghost candle.
Wang Weiwen looked embarrassed: "If it's not number 9, then number 6 is the crow?"
Zhao Wei, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was startled again and his face changed drastically, because suspicion on Jiang Lin instantly shifted to Xu Lina.
"I'm not... You have to believe me, I really am not!" Xu Lina cried bitterly. She wanted to explain, but didn't know how. She grabbed Zhao Wei's arm in fear: "Brother Wei, believe me, I'm not Crow!"
Zhao Wei glared fiercely at Zhang Xu'an and Ji Xingyi: "There were no crows at all! You're framing us!"
“I didn’t see any crows, but I heard their cries, so I’m sure I’m not mistaken.” This time, Wang Weiwen firmly stood on Zhang Xu’an’s side, looking at Xu Lina warily.
Zhao Wei was stunned. He had initially thought it was a conspiracy by Number 8, but now that four of the five surviving innocent people had confirmed the existence of Crow, it meant it was real. Zhao Wei's eyes involuntarily turned to Jiang Lin.
In other words, after the crimson night ended and he used his skill to rewind to the maid's room, Jiang Lin also used her skill to turn into a crow and fly towards him.
But why would Jiang Lin do this?
When Zhao Wei met the young man's smiling gaze, all the color drained from his face, and he instantly understood what was going on.
This was indeed a setup, not by Zhang Xu'an, but by his teammates!
Jiang Lin transformed into a crow and deliberately exposed herself to Zhang Xu'an's view, leading everyone to suspect the wolf pit in room 569. Finally, she used the ghost candle prop to push Xu Lina off the cliff.
One wrong step and Jiang Lin would have been dead!
A daring and incredibly brilliant move!
"Number 5, did you see Number 6 the instant the crimson ended, or after some time?" Lin Zhi asked again, feeling pity.
Crows need time to fly. If No. 5 can meet No. 6 at the moment of dawn, then Xu Lina is not a crow, and there may have been a problem in another aspect.
Seeing that Zhao Wei remained silent, Xu Lina anxiously tugged at the man beside her, saying, "Zhao Wei, say something!"
Sweat dripped down Zhao Wei's temples. He dared not look the woman in the eye any longer: "I...I didn't see her right away, I don't know..."

Xu Lina felt all her strength drain away, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
At that moment, she finally understood that she had been abandoned, abandoned by the man she loved most.
Xu Lina angrily pounced on Zhao Wei, scratching and clawing wildly like a lioness.
"He's lying! He's the devil! He's the murderer!"
Several bloody scratches appeared on Zhao Wei's face, and he grimaced in pain. The guilt in his eyes vanished instantly, and he slapped the woman, sending her sprawling to the ground: "Get out of here! You're the ghost! What are you still trying to say! See who believes you?"
Xu Lina couldn't help but look down at the audience. The cold gazes of the crowd were like blades tearing at her flesh, slowly torturing her.
"It wasn't me, number 3, it wasn't me..." Xu Lina scrambled towards Linzhi for help, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"It wasn't me!" The woman pounded on the ground frantically, tears mingling with blood, her cries filled with anguish: "Please, let me go!"
"Don't believe her, she's a ghost!" Zhao Wei looked panicked. Only he and Xu Lina were nominated, and everyone could only vote between the two of them. If he wanted to live, he could only push Xu Lina to her death.
[Voting Ended: Player #6 is Executed.]
