Chapter 421 The Confession Game (Part 2)
"Ahem... Sixth Brother, come here for a moment."
Yin joined the gang... no, his first task after joining the organization was to summon Yinzuo.
Seeing Yinzhen peeking halfway in through the doorway and beckoning furtively to Yinzhen, Yinzhen was speechless.
"Tenth Brother, what are you doing?"
"I'll go find Sixth Brother." Yin smiled ingratiatingly at his Ninth Brother. There was no other way; it wasn't that he wasn't capable, but that the enemy behind him was too powerful.
He wasn't defecting to the enemy; he was just going to scout out the way for his ninth brother.
Looking for Sixth Brother?
Yinzhen narrowed his eyes suspiciously, glancing at Yinzhen, who was clearly up to something, and then at Yinzhuo, who seemed completely unaware.
"Aren't you going to contact me?"
"I won't look for it, I won't look for it."
Yin shook his head vigorously, and only when he met Yin Tang's ambiguous smile did he realize what was happening. He awkwardly explained, "Let's not look for them for now, we'll do it one by one."
Yinzhuo didn't join their conversation, but simply got up and walked out of the hall. "Let's go, Ninth Brother, you can play by yourself for a while."
"Let's go, let's go."
Yin hurriedly followed Yinzuo away, leaving Yintang alone, seething with anger. Why was he left last? He was indignant! Was the fourth prince settling a personal score?
"Sixth Brother, is there anything you want to tell us?"
Considering Yinzhuo's age, they estimated that he wouldn't be very old even after being reborn, so the group asked in a very gentle tone.
Seeing this, Yin felt a pang of jealousy and silently complained about their differential treatment.
"What's wrong?" Yinzhu looked around, seemingly confused. "What kind of thing?"
Yinzhen pursed his lips and described in detail: "When you fell into the pond that year, did you experience any changes or feelings?"
Yinzhu blinked but didn't say anything.
Yinqi looked at him gently and said, "Don't be afraid, we all undergo this kind of change."
The others didn't speak, but they all nodded frankly.
The anxiety and unease that had plagued Yinzhuo for the past few years due to his doubts eased at this moment. His gaze swept over the faces of his brothers before him, and feeling their acceptance, Yinzhuo slowly spoke: "A new life... does that count?"
After he actually said it, Yinzhuo found that there didn't seem to be any problem.
“I always feel like I’ve died once, and it was my eighth brother who brought me back to life. I always thought it was a near-death illusion…”
Yinzhen placed his hand on Yinzuo's shoulder and comforted him in a deep voice: "It's not an illusion, Sixth Brother. You survived. You can live a good life. We are all the same."
Although the words weren't particularly moving, Yinzhuo's eyes reddened, and he calmed down completely.
He used to feel like every day he lived was stolen, filled with uncertainty. But now, knowing he wasn't the only one experiencing this, it was like the sun had come out after the rain; his world had become completely clear.
"Alright, everything is confirmed now. The nine key figures are the nine of us who have been reborn."
Breaking the slightly somber atmosphere, Yinzhi asked casually, "So what's next? Recruit people?"
They recruited others after completing this team game. While checking the points shop, they discovered a new item called "Invitation Letter".
[Invitation: The key to accessing "A Dream of Red Mansions Nightmare." Those who accept the invitation will gain access to the game. One invitation designates one person.]
"We definitely need to recruit people; now it just depends on how well Xiao Ba and Father Emperor talk."
Yinreng nodded, toying with a bright red cardboard letter in his hand, which was the invitation he had redeemed.
Yinzhen frowned slightly: "I wonder if Xiao Ba can handle Father Emperor."
"Don't worry," Yin Zhi said, as the chat screen in front of him was on, with messages constantly being sent out. "The online support has never stopped. Trust Xiao Ba."
"That's right, trust Xiao Ba."
"Um..." Yin weakly raised his hand, "Why are you pulling people?"
The group all looked down at Yin, only then realizing that the reborn person and the game player did not completely overlap.
"It's alright, we'll find out sooner or later."
After a moment of annoyance, Yinreng quickly regained his composure.
"Boss, explain this to him."
"Why should I explain?" Yinzhi habitually retorted to Yinreng, but when faced with Yinreng's curious gaze, he inexplicably softened. "It's not impossible."
"that……"
Despite the pressure from his two elder brothers, Yin couldn't help but ask, "Can't we tell Ninth Brother?"
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly everyone started coughing, looking up and down with shifty eyes. Could it be said that they had forgotten about Yinzhen?
Meanwhile, Yinzhen, still waiting in the side hall, paced back and forth with his hands on his hips, his face dark. What were they talking about? Why couldn't he listen? Were they ostracizing him? Was it because of the Fourth Prince?
"Have you forgotten about me?"
Upon finally entering the main hall, Yin Tang narrowed his eyes and questioned the others after they recognized him as a reborn individual.
"How is that possible!"
Yinqi retorted loudly, "How could we forget you? Isn't it because your identity is confirmed, so we need to confirm the identities of others first?"
"Yeah?"
Yinzhen glanced suspiciously at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Yinzhen beside him. "Tenth Prince, you speak."
“Of course,” Yin said, under the watchful eyes of his brothers behind him. What could he say, what dare he say? “Now that everything is settled, I’m here to talk to you about serious matters, Ninth Brother.”
Yinzhen snorted coldly, deciding to let them off the hook for the time being, and asked, "What important matter is it?"
Yinzhi, who was chosen as the narrator, began to recount their extraordinary adventures during this period.
10% game introduction + 90% self-aggrandizement.
Seeing the increasingly bewildered looks on Yinzhen and Yinzhen's faces, the onlookers tried hard to suppress their laughter. That's right, brothers in the same family should share both good times and bad.
After filtering out 90% of the useless information and sifting through the sand to find the gold, Yinzhen, having sorted out his thoughts for a long time, couldn't help but ask: "What is the logic behind the game's selection process? Why didn't the Tenth Prince and I, both of us reborn, go in? How did the Eighth Prince get in? Why wasn't he reborn?"
A barrage of questions left Yin even more bewildered, while the others exchanged glances. Yin Zhi spoke first: "We suspect that the return of the key figures refers to the nine of us who were reborn. In order, Yin Zhen was the last to be reborn, and the game started shortly after his rebirth."
"We are the key to the game, but we are not the participants in the game."
"As for the logic behind the selection process..."
Yinreng continued Yinzhi's words: "There is no definite answer at the moment, but I guess if the first batch of players only appears among us brothers, then they should be of age to enter the Imperial Study, or have their own courtyards."
The two children, Yinzhi and Yinbao, who were still living in the same palace as their mother, looked at each other and agreed that it made some sense.
"And why didn't Xiao Ba get reborn..." Everyone had their doubts when this topic was brought up, but they had been avoiding the question before.
Yinzhen pursed his lips, his face cold and stern, and said in a deep voice, "You don't want to, do you? Perhaps Yinsi in his previous life didn't want to do it again."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Recalling Yinzhi's sensitive "true colors" and the Eighth Prince who always wore a gentle mask in their previous life, they couldn't help but feel sad.
Thus, Yinzhi, who had fooled Kangxi, walked out of the Qianqing Palace and saw a group of princes who had fooled him and were even better to him.
Imagining things is a wonderful virtue; please continue to do so.
