Yuan Munye was a little confused. What was the deal with shining two beams of light?

Were they afraid others wouldn't know they were the protagonists?

"The man next to you killed his girlfriend."

The puppet spoke again, dropping that bombshell.

Yuan Munye was stunned, but he quickly calmed down. He'd had a hunch earlier, but hearing someone else say it, he still found it hard to accept.

Was the puppet telling him this to let him know he'd saved a liar?

But even if he'd saved a liar, he wouldn't regret it, because his initial intention wasn't to save this man, but to save Liang Sencheng.

"What do you want?" Yuan Munye asked directly.

The puppet chuckled. "If you can get him to admit he killed his girlfriend and pay the price for it, I'll let Liang Sencheng go."

It sounded simple, but it wasn't simple at all.

It was like asking a murderer to turn himself in. Although it was possible, the likelihood was slim.

"Stop slandering me! When did I ever kill my girlfriend? Show me the evidence!" the man said angrily.

The puppet didn't respond, perhaps because he couldn't be bothered.

The man became even more agitated, grunted, and said, "Why aren't you talking? Is it because you don't have any evidence, so you don't know how to respond to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man was slapped by an invisible force, his face turning red.

Then, the puppet reminded him, "If you keep chattering, I'll sew your mouth shut."

Hearing that his mouth would be sewn shut, the man immediately shut up. He knew he was no match for the puppet, so naturally, he wouldn't easily test the puppet's patience.

"Yuan Munye, I'll give you half an hour. If you can't get him to confess, then Liang Sencheng will be the one punished."

After saying that, the puppet fell silent.

Half an hour wasn't much, but it wasn't little either.

But for Yuan Munye to get the man to confess in half an hour was really difficult.

Afraid that Yuan Munye would misunderstand him, the man immediately stepped forward to explain. "I really didn't kill my girlfriend. She was killed by an evil ghost. That guy is just trying to keep me here, that's why he's saying that."

This was the ultimate test of human nature.

Even if the man didn't admit it, Yuan Munye wouldn't find it strange.

Yuan Munye looked at him calmly and said, "I'll ask you one last time, did you kill your girlfriend?"

"No!" the man replied without thinking. Probably afraid that Yuan Munye wouldn't believe him, he even swore to the heavens. "I swear, I didn't kill my girlfriend. If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

Seeing the man's sincere attitude, Yuan Munye was a little confused for a moment. Could it be that he was wrong?

However, he didn't trust the man lightly because of this. After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart, especially in this world, where people are sometimes more terrifying than ghosts. Lying without blushing might be standard practice.

Yuan Munye looked at the man thoughtfully and said, "I have a way to verify whether you're telling the truth or lying. Do you want to try it?"

Hearing this, the man panicked, but he quickly regained his composure and said with feigned nonchalance, "Isn't my oath to the heavens enough?"

"What's wrong, are you scared? If you're scared, you can say so directly. I won't force you," Yuan Munye said calmly.

The calmer he appeared, the more flustered the man became. He was afraid that Yuan Munye wouldn't believe him.

Seeing that the man didn't react, Yuan Munye knew that he definitely wouldn't admit it, so he directly used Dream Manipulation on him.

If you want to know if someone is lying, you can tell from their dreams.

Soon, the man felt sleepy and started yawning.

"So sleepy."

"Then sleep!" As soon as Yuan Munye finished speaking, the man fell directly to the ground.

Yuan Munye then entered the man's dream.

Entering the dream, Yuan Munye only saw a quiet street.

There were only a few lonely streetlights on the street, and not a single person in sight.

Yuan Munye searched for the man's figure on the street. Suddenly, a cry for help came from an alley not far away.

"Help!"

It was a woman's voice.

Yuan Munye immediately followed the sound and ran over. In the dark alley, two figures were running towards him.

It wasn't until the two of them ran closer that Yuan Munye could see what they looked like. It was the man and a woman.

This woman should be the man's girlfriend.

The two held hands and ran quickly towards the outside. Seeing that they were almost at the intersection, the woman suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.

The man pulled the woman up and said anxiously, "Hurry! The evil ghost is about to catch up."

The woman had sprained her ankle and couldn't run at all.

"No, I can't run anymore. You should just leave me."

"How could I leave you alone?" The man carried the woman on his back, wanting to run with her.

Unfortunately, as soon as he carried the woman on his back, the evil ghost caught up.

When he saw the evil ghost, Yuan Munye was also stunned, because he knew this evil ghost.

Yuan Munye didn't expect this evil ghost to be Chen Ning.

"Please, let us go!" The man looked at Chen Ning with a pleading expression.

Chen Ning looked at them expressionlessly. After a long time, he finally said, "Seeing that you didn't leave her behind and run away alone, I can give you a chance to live."

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across the man's face, and he quickly asked, "What do we have to do?"

"Only one of you can live."

As Chen Ning's words came out, the two of them froze in place.

The hope on the man's face turned into despair.

Only one of them could live, which meant that he and his girlfriend had to separate.

Hearing the evil ghost say this, the woman immediately stood in front of the man and said to the evil ghost without hesitation, "Let him go, take my life."

The man was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the woman to make such a big sacrifice for him.

"No, we'll go together, we'll die together. I won't leave you alone."

The man held the woman's hand, his tone serious.

Seeing this, Yuan Munye was also a little surprised. Looking at the man's appearance, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would kill his girlfriend.

"Tsk, tsk, how touching!" Chen Ning clapped his hands and looked at the two of them coldly.

The man looked at Chen Ning angrily and said through gritted teeth, "If you want to kill us, then hurry up and do it."

"I said, I'll only kill one person," Chen Ning said indifferently.

Obviously, this was a very interesting thing for him.

Although the man was angry, he was helpless.

"Xiao Qiang, I don't have any relatives anymore. It doesn't matter if I die, but you're different. You still have parents to take care of, and your younger brother is still young. What will they do if you die?"
