They can initiate a vote even without being present?
No one noticed that Tan Ming let out a cold laugh, a hint of subtle calculation hidden within that smile. The messengers who had yet to appear were ultimately exposed.
A chilling voice continued to echo: "Due to the failure to construct the Execution Ground, the execution cannot proceed; therefore, this vote is invalid and no Disciplinary Action will be taken."
The onlooking messengers included the Prophet, the Wizard, the Traveler, the Spellcaster, the Artisan, the Werewolf, the Doctor, and the Mage.
Wasn't the Traveler already dead? The Master Ban asked in confusion, his brows tightly knitted together. So many people in Fountain Square had witnessed He Zhengwei's death; how could there still be a Traveler?
Tan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep. It’s the Traveler's card! The person who took his card has replaced him.
Can messengers really be substituted?
Everyone was puzzled at first, but considering that the Traveler was dead and his card was lost, this seemed to be the only explanation that made sense.
Then who is that Werewolf? Shen Jianghuan inquired, curiosity evident in his eyes.
And who is the Wizard? The Master Ban followed up with another question.
One of them is me, Tan Ming replied nonchalantly.
Zhang Liu found a piece of paper and carefully divided it into several sections, writing down a few names before placing it in front of Tan Ming. Here, we can confirm all our Wolf Messenger Identities; only your Wolf Messenger Identity remains unverified.
Tan Ming understood and reached for one of the cards. Everyone saw that he picked one labeled "Wizard."
The remaining unverified messengers included Destruction, Traveler, Werewolf, Sorcerer, and Thief; thus, the murderer likely existed among these individuals. Shen Jianghuan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
That makes things easier; when we can vote again, we’ll just go through them one by one. Five people against hundreds alive—this is already the best plan we have, Master Ban stated.
His Wolf Messenger Identity was Jiang Shi, ranked Meizai with Messenger Gear and Umbrella Shield, lasting fifteen hours with three uses.
Zhang Liu recognized him at first glance and immediately stated his identity.
Tan Ming stood up straight, his posture tall. "You all continue discussing; I’ll step out for a moment." His expression was calm, but he inadvertently cast a glance at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing belatedly stood up as well. "I’ll go with you."
The two of them exited together; the corridor lights were dim, elongating their shadows as they walked away.
Tan Ming said nothing more and lowered his voice, "First floor."
"The first floor? Aren't we going to the restroom?" Yan Qing asked, puzzled, but he quickened his pace to follow Tan Ming.
Upon reaching the first floor, Yan Qing noticed that Tan Ming was deliberately lightening his steps, moving cautiously to avoid making any noise. He instinctively mirrored Tan Ming's careful movements.
They quietly approached the monitoring room on the first floor. Tan Ming reached for the doorknob and slowly opened the door.
Inside, a person sat in a chair beside a computer, wearing headphones and leaning forward, completely engrossed in the screen, oblivious to their entrance.
Their sudden intrusion startled the person, who jolted in surprise and nearly fell off the chair.
Tan Ming reacted swiftly; he dashed forward in a blur and quickly restrained the individual.
"What are you doing?" the person exclaimed, eyes wide with anger and humiliation.
The headphones slipped from his head and crashed to the floor with a loud thud.
"Destruction," Tan Ming said firmly, his gaze piercing as he locked eyes with him.
His voice was identical to that of the boy who had spoken "Destruction" in the Time Rewind scene, leaving Tan Ming utterly convinced of his identity.
