Chapter 51 A Perfect Match, Too Perfectly Matched

Hou Wu's expression went blank for a moment, then his eyes widened as he glared at her angrily: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Liyue looked at him with a smile on her face, her eyebrows curving, but she didn't say anything.

Ma Lulu, Yuan Le, and Peng Shan, who had just run down and was unaware of the situation, did not say anything, but simply took two steps back.

Ji Lin's expression didn't change much, and she didn't seem surprised. She was already some distance away from Hou Wu.

Everyone kept their distance from him as if avoiding something dirty.

Hou Wu noticed this as well and looked at the crowd: "What do you mean? Do you all believe her?"

His tone was somewhat incredulous.

"Have you forgotten that she just confidently said that no one would die during the day, and that she deliberately made us search for information separately?"

"She clearly intended to lower our guard so she could kill us one by one, and you actually believed her?"

He became somewhat hysterical towards the end, but his expression seemed much more genuine than before.

He seems to be a kind person who feels particularly wronged after being wronged.

Even Peng Shan, who had the most volatile temper, hesitated, glancing at Hou Wu, then at the composed Jiang Liyue and Zhou Yulin.

On one hand, they are arguing their case logically, while on the other hand, they seem nonchalant, as if they're really on vacation at the Blood Moon Villa. People are always prone to sympathizing with the mentally challenged.

After a long pause, Peng Shan spoke first: "Well, Miss Jiang, why don't you explain why you think Hou Wu is a monster?"

"Because I lied to you when I said the monsters wouldn't kill people during the day," Jiang Liyue said, shrugging. "That's exactly why the monsters attacked."

She admitted that she had noticed something was wrong with Hou Wu a long time ago, but she didn't have more evidence to support it, so she deliberately released Lu Zhuokai as bait.

Lu Zhuokai will definitely act with Hou Wu, and he will be the most likely to be killed.

As expected, Hou Wu made his move.

Good heavens, I actually fell for Yueyue's trick too!

[That Hou Wu was acting strangely from the start, didn't you guys notice? He was there every time a monster appeared, wasn't he?]

I sensed a kindred spirit in him.

[Yeah, he always carries around that beat-up camera, snapping away, as if he's not that scared.]

Wasn't it he who previously urged Lu Zhuokai to keep quiet and stay at the Blood Moon Villa?

Hou Wu wanted to say something in his defense.

Jiang Liyue looked at Ji Lin, who was silently standing beside her: "You've been following him, you've noticed, haven't you?"

“Miss Ji, you’ve been with me the whole time, you should be able to prove my innocence, right?” Hou Wu seemed to have found a lifeline and looked at Ji Lin expectantly.

Ji Lin ignored him, crossed her arms, and finally smiled slightly: "We were indeed searching together."

A glint appeared in Hou Wu's eyes.

“But,” Ji Lin paused and continued, “I saw it. When they were searching the room next to Lu Zhuokai’s, you took the camera and left for thirty seconds.”

"I didn't. You're definitely in cahoots with those two," Hou Wu stubbornly insisted.

His performance was indeed very good; he was the best actor Jiang Liyue encountered in both instances.

Newcomers like Yuan Le and Ma Lulu were almost completely fooled by his acting skills.

Ma Lulu was more inclined to believe Jiang Liyue.

Moreover, "If the three of them are monsters working together, then the four of us might as well just give up resisting..."

After all, everyone saw how ruthless Jiang Liyue and Zhou Yulin were in dealing with "Zhang Yuan" last night.

And how Jiang Liyue kicked someone several meters away.

There was a moment of silence after Ma Lulu said that.

Hahaha, that's so convincing!

Even Hou Wu was speechless. There were only so many people in total, and he had put three of them in the opposing camp, so there were even fewer who could stand on his side.

"Even if I really went out for thirty seconds, what could I do in thirty seconds?" Hou Wu was still being stubborn.

“Thirty seconds is enough for you to kill Lu Zhuokai.” Jiang Liyue tilted her head. “Or, would you be willing to show us the camera footage of what you filmed after arriving at Blood Moon Villa?”

Upon hearing this, Hou Wu hugged the equipment in his arms tighter and took two steps back.

Noticing that he wanted to run, Jiang Liyue immediately tried to rush forward again, but this time Zhou Yulin wrapped one arm around her waist.

Jiang Liyue subconsciously turned her head to look at him: "Husband?"

"I promised I'd protect you." Zhou Yulin looked at her with displeasure.

Jiang Liyue scratched her head and smiled at him coquettishly, "Instinctive reaction, instinctive reaction..."

She just can't stand seeing people run away in front of her.

Turning around, I saw that Hou Wu had already knelt on the ground, as if some unknown force had broken his legs out of thin air.

The camera in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

Before Ji Lin and the others could react, they watched as his eyes widened, his face contorted in pain, and he clutched his own neck with both hands.

Blood began to seep from his eyes, and his eyeballs were wide open, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

"What, what's going on?" Peng Shan didn't really understand what they were saying for a long time, but he knew that Hou Wu was most likely a monster.

Then I saw him inexplicably fall to the ground, which looked somewhat bloody and terrifying.

"Is he going to go berserk?" Ma Lulu was also a little scared.

"He should be fine." Jiang Liyue, who hadn't been able to make a move, was a little itchy and peeked out from Zhou Yulin's arms. "His strength should be very weak, otherwise he wouldn't have disguised himself among us."

If a monster has the strength of Zhou Yulin, would it still need to disguise itself? Wouldn't it be better to just start killing right from the beginning?

This was also Jiang Liyue's guess from the moment she entered the instance.

The fact that the instance says the monster is among them only means that the monster needs to disguise itself as a human to barely kill anyone.

Zhu Ming and Lu Zhuokai both happened to be acquainted with Hou Wu.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liyue patted Zhou Yulin's arm and whispered in his ear, "Husband, don't kill him yet, I still have some questions for him."

Zhou Yulin nodded, and the next moment Hou Wu collapsed to the ground, his hands no longer uncontrollably gripping his own neck.

Jiang Liyue gave him a kiss as a reward, jumped off his lap, and strolled leisurely to Hou Wu.

She smiled and leaned slightly forward: "Actually, I'm quite interested in your killings. Why don't we talk about it?"

Hou Wu lay on the ground, his face contorted, with two long streaks of blood under his eyes.

He stared at Jiang Liyue in disbelief.

No, this woman is crazy!

He turned his head with some difficulty to look at the others: "So what makes you think she's a better person than me?"

Let's compare the two of them now and see who is more like the bad guy!

Doesn't Jiang Liyue look more like a pervert?

From everyone's perspective, Hou Wu lay on the ground, covered in injuries and looking disheveled, his face filled with grief and indignation.

Jiang Liyue stood in front of him, looking down at him.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, and her fair skin was accentuated by her elaborate red Lolita dress.

A smile graced her exquisitely beautiful face, like that of a pretty doll, which seemed rather cruel in contrast to Hou Wu lying on the ground.

Well, it does have a somewhat perverted feel to it.

"But, Sister Yueyue is pretty..." Ma Lulu muttered softly.

Especially when she saw Zhou Yulin standing not far behind Jiang Liyue, looking at her profile with a sticky, infatuated expression.

They're a perfect match, so perfectly matched.

Hou Wu almost fainted from anger when he heard her nagging.
