My Tokyo Love Game Has Big Problems

Chapter 167 Which one do you want to believe?

The spilled blood dyed the Golden Rose dress red. The witch who used to be calm and composed in the past showed her embarrassment several times today.

Tamaki Hikaru subconsciously held Aitaniti's body, as light as if there was no weight.

"Are you okay?"

Although for ordinary people, being shot in the chest is basically close to death.

But Aitaniti is a witch after all, and now she is in a so-called board game, so it is difficult to judge how serious the injury is.

"If she is really a witch, this kind of harm will be fine."

Ling Shijie seemed to have won the victory and walked towards this side.

"But she will soon cease to be a witch."

If it were not a witch but a human being, such an injury would undoubtedly mean death.

As if he was worried that Yu Chengguang might misunderstand something, Ling Shijie immediately answered.

"It's not that I want to kill her, but after losing the disguise of the witch, her reality is as unreal as a phantom."

"The real her died a long time ago that night in the snowstorm. The she in front of you is just an empty shell pretending to be a witch."

Looking at Aitaniti who seemed to be on the verge of death, Tamaki Hikaru was a little in disbelief.

This little witch has always looked calm and calm, never showing any nervousness.

But today, a sudden board game exposed her weakness so obviously that she was even weak and on the verge of death.

Is this the witch's weakness?

Tamaki Hikaru subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at Aitaniti in his arms.

Blood oozed from the corners of her lips, and her jade-like face was a little pale and colorless at the moment.

Realizing that Tamaki Hikari was looking at him, he tried his best to smile.

"She's right, but don't worry, she hasn't been able to completely checkmate me yet."

"She hasn't fully revealed everything yet. Maybe she's just being blinded?"

This statement is a bit too self-consoling.

Yu Chengguang shook his head and looked at Ling Shijie.

"Is it okay to stop now? There is not necessarily only one truth. Since you have already made up your mind, why do you have to say it out loud?"

No matter what, Tamaki Hikari couldn't watch Aitaniti die like this.

Even if she was actually dead a long time ago.

Ling Shijie sighed.

"Do you know? You are just like the relative and friend of the person who was beheaded and didn't know he was dead."

"Obviously you already vaguely know the truth, but you still lie to yourself."

"This is not called self-deception, it is just believing what you see in front of you."

Tamaki Hikaru retorted that he was curious about Aitaniti's past, but if the price of this curiosity was to directly let Aitaniti die.

"After all, the truth you get is just what you think. If you don't confirm it with others, what's the difference between you and a witch?"

Ling Shijie shook his head and rejected Yu Chengguang's request.

"Then if I kill you now? Can this end your game?"

Tamaki Guang's hand shook, and an extra knife appeared, pointing at Ling Shijie's throat.

The practice during this period was not in vain.

He made something out of nothing, which made Ling Shijie stunned for a moment and looked down at Aitaniti.

The pale-faced Aitaniti also opened her eyes in surprise, and even started to cough up blood again in excitement.

"You haven't learned the witch's tricks without a teacher, have you?"

Ling Shijie murmured suspiciously, looked at it before continuing.

"It's useless, even if you use it to pierce my body, it's useless. What we are fighting for now is truth. If force had been useful, she would have broken my neck long ago."

Although he didn't have high expectations from the beginning, Tamaki Hikaru was still a little disappointed.

If he had known that this kind of thing was the witch's weakness, he would have found a way to deal with Ling Shijie from the beginning and would not have given her a chance to get close to Aitaniti.

But his trust in Aitaniti made Tamaki Hikaru not wary of a child like Ling Shijie who was as big as a brat.

Even at the beginning, he was more in the mindset of wanting to protect the other party.

But the result was that Aitaniti's weakness was caught, and she is now so weak.

"Do you really want to go to this extent?"

"She is just a false phantom. Tamaki-kun, why should you linger on a false phantom?"

Ling Shijie sighed, but his immature face revealed a somewhat mature feeling.

"Tamagi-kun, don't worry, let's listen to her conclusion first, and it's not like I don't have any backup plans."

Aitaniti whispered, pulling Tamaki Hikari's collar to tell him not to be impatient.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Tamaki Hikaru asked dubiously.

The somewhat weak Aitaniti smiled brightly, giving her a somewhat different sense of beauty.

"Of course not. Have I lied to you?"

"That's not necessarily true. For example, I remember you lied to me about your parents."

Tamaki Hikaru's words left Aitaniti speechless, and a trace of blood appeared on her pale face.

"You still remember this so clearly, you are such a stingy man."

"If I don't remember clearly, why do you fool me every day? Seriously, didn't you say you love me? It's not like you to die like this."

"Of course I'm not going to die. Didn't you ask for the notary? As long as"

Aitaniti bit Tamaki Hikaru's ear and whispered a few words.

Tamaki Hikaru's originally anxious look stopped and he asked subconsciously.

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, so just feel free to let her talk."

Aitaniti blinked her eyes. Although she was penetrated by the wedge of truth, if she went by what she just said, she was indeed invincible from the beginning.

"Okay, then I have no objection, you can continue."

Tamaki Hikaru helped Aitaniti to her position and then returned to his seat.

Ling Shijie looked at the two of them, as if he didn't know what they had just said.

"Then shall I continue?"

After clearing his throat, Ling Shijie began to explain his truth, or in other words, the truth of the entire Saurensburg family murder case.

"First of all, the identity of the real murderer, that is, the true body under your witch shell, is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Solons family master and his lover."

"ridiculous."

Aitaneeti interrupted her reasoning and sneered.

"She had died long before the blizzard, and both her body and others can prove it."

"As I said, you rely too much on wordplay and narrative trickery."

Ling Shijie didn't panic.

"The body can be fake, and the death can be just an illusion. In fact, before the blizzard came, you just faked your death, right?" The bullet shot into the body turned into a wedge of reality, and gradually grew out, like a wooden nail.

Aitaneeti endured the severe pain and continued to retort.

"Okay, then it is true that she faked her death, but at the time when the road was blocked by the snowstorm, she was able to return to the castle to complete the murder. How to explain this?"

"Or do you think she also used magic to get through a blizzard that even a snowmobile couldn't get through?"

During those three days, there were only seventeen people in the castle. This was a fact that had been established in the previous games.

Naturally, Ling Shijie would not overturn this argument.

"I've also said this before. People who think they are dead are actually living people, and among the living people, one of them is dead."

Ling Shijie raised his hand and fired a shot, hitting the old man with a withered face among the seventeen people.

He is the head of the Solons family, followed by his three children and their respective families.

"It was mentioned in the board game, right? The head of the family is seriously ill and bedridden. Except for his confidant butler, not even his apparent heir, his eldest son, can see him."

"So the corpse burned in the boiler room was actually him who died of illness, and you pretended to be the bedridden head of the family and dominated everything."

Ling Shijie talked calmly, reorganized the whole story and brought it to the surface.

The first is Aitaniti, or in other words, the real culprit in this case according to Ling Shijie.

She is an illegitimate daughter of the head of the Solons family. The head of the family is obviously in his seventies or eighties, but he has an illegitimate daughter who is more than ten years old.

Perhaps because of face issues, this illegitimate daughter was imprisoned in the castle by him and never stepped out of the castle.

But perhaps out of inner debt or inner remorse, he treated his illegitimate daughter very well.

But no matter how good it is, it can't change the fact that this illegitimate daughter is just a caged bird.

And after he became seriously ill, things began to take a turn for the worse.

Property division is always a problem that big families cannot avoid when they have three children.

Whether it was due to illness or because he felt that he owed too much, the head of the family left most of his property to this illegitimate daughter in his suicide note.

If he were a few years younger, perhaps there would be no problem in doing so.

But at that time, he was seriously ill and bedridden. After making this will, conflicts naturally arose among his children.

The will cannot be tampered with. After writing the will, the ring representing the identity of the family head has been lost.

Therefore, in order to legally possess the inheritance, a vicious plan appeared in the mind of the eldest son of the Solons family.

That is to get back this huge inheritance through marriage.

Only the Solons family knew the identity of their illegitimate daughter, so as long as they didn't tell them, who would know that they were actually bloodline?

As long as they control her through marriage, they can easily take back the inheritance. As for the "little sister" who was originally cared for and cared for by them?

In the face of a huge inheritance, this kind of family affection is not important at all.

Except for the family head's confidant butler, the three children were all insiders, so the brothers and sisters argued with each other over the final share.

The resentment of being a caged bird once had false family ties as comfort.

But when this incident began, the brothers and sisters tore through the pretense of warmth and revealed their greedy and complex human nature.

The illegitimate daughter was forced to accept the cruel reality, and she was even crueler than them.

With the cooperation of the confidant housekeeper left behind by the family owner, she threw the body of her so-called "father" who died of illness into the boiler room and burned it to coke.

Then she disguised herself as the seriously ill head of the family, and since the charred body was unrecognizable, she could naturally continue to disguise herself as her original self.

Then, after moving to the dark place, she took advantage of the fact that she was already dead and began to plan extremely brutal revenge.

The coming of the blizzard gave her a great advantage at the right time and place.

Unable to escape and unable to be rescued by the outside world, in this closed cage city, the legend of the murderous witch was born.

It's just that this revenge is too cruel, as it removes her father who has been imprisoned for decades, and her greedy brothers and sisters.

Even the servants of the castle and several other people's children, ranging from children to teenagers, all died tragically in the witch's revenge.

Finally, in the snowstorm, the entire castle collapsed, and no one survived.

"The above is the truth about the massacre of seventeen people in Solens Castle. Miss the real culprit, do you have anything else to argue with?"

As Ling Shijie concluded, the wedge of reality nailed to Aitaniti's chest continued to grow, gradually nailing Aitaniti to the ground.

Aitaniti's face, as delicate as porcelain, was now broken like porcelain, as if it would disintegrate at any time, revealing the true appearance of a human being under the mask.

Raising her head with difficulty, Aitaniti still managed to maintain a smile on her lips.

"No, your reasoning is impeccable and all logic is consistent. I have nothing to argue with."

"Then this game is my victory."

Ling Shijie raised his gun, preparing to give the witch the final blow and completely shatter her disguise as a witch.

"Wait a minute, it's not up to you and me to decide whether we win or lose, right?"

Aitaneeti suddenly called her to stop, her pained brows still smiling.

"Your truth is irrefutable, but so is my truth."

"You are just standing from a human standpoint and straightforwardly believe that magic is an illusion in disguise. But you are a chess player, not a referee."

Aitaniti's words reminded Ling Shijie of her little actions at the beginning of this reasoning game.

"What are you"

"Haha, only the perspective of a bystander can tell whose truth is more trustworthy, right? Tamaki-kun?"

Aitaniti smiled, and Tamaki Hikaru finally stood up.

Now, everything is ready for the cat box. The detective and the witch have each brought the two realities of witch theory and human theory to be placed in it.

But standing outside the cat box, able to open it and observe the real person inside, there was only Tamaki Hikari at this time.

This was the reason why Aitaniti asked him to be the notary in the first place.

The devil's proof, though merely sophistical, holds true in this case.

As for Tamaki Hikari's choice?

【ding~】

The system beeped, but Tamaki Hikaru had no time to pay attention to it at the moment. Instead, he exhaled and stated his choice.

"Aitaniti Mana is an undoubted witch. The murder of the family in Saurens Castle was also caused by a witch using magic."

This is not only for Aitaniti's life, but also the fact that he hopes for more.

The witch's ability can change everything, when Hikaru Tamaki admits.

The possibility that Aitaniti was just some vengeful caged bird was also eliminated.

Rather than living a life full of conspiracies and hypocrisy, it would be better to be an evil and mysterious witch.

At least that's what Tamaki Hikari thinks.

Because he didn’t know any of the caged birds of the Saurons family, he only knew the witch Aitaniti Mana.

The wedge of truth that penetrated her chest disappeared with these words, and the injuries on Aitaniti's body quickly disappeared, restoring the witch's composure.

"It seems that I won in the end."

There was no frustration on Ling Shijie's face. Instead, he felt relaxed as he looked at Aitaniti.

"Yeah, you win, mother."
