Yuan Mu Ye was a bit confused. What was with the two spotlights?

Were they afraid others wouldn't know they were the main characters?

"The man next to you killed his girlfriend."

The puppet spoke again, dropping this bombshell.

Yuan Mu Ye was stunned, but he quickly calmed down. He had already sensed something was off, but hearing someone else say it still made it hard to accept.

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

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

"What do you want to say?" Yuan Mu Ye asked directly.

The puppet chuckled and said, "If you can get him to admit that he killed his girlfriend and pay the price for it, I will release Liang Sencheng."

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

It was like asking a murderer to confess, which was possible, but unlikely.

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

The puppet didn't respond, perhaps too lazy to.

The man became even more anxious, 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 blathering, 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 and naturally wouldn't challenge the puppet's patience easily.

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

After saying this, the puppet fell silent.

Half an hour, not too long, not too short.

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

The man was afraid that Yuan Mu Ye would misunderstand him, and immediately stepped forward to explain, "I really didn't kill my girlfriend. She was killed by an evil spirit. That person is just trying to keep me here, that's why he's saying that."

This was a test of humanity.

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

Yuan Mu Ye 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 Mu Ye 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 Mu Ye was a little confused. Could it be that he was wrong?

But he didn't trust the man because of this. After all, it's hard to know a person's heart, especially in this world where people are sometimes more terrifying than ghosts. Lying without blushing was probably standard practice.

Yuan Mu Ye 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 a little, but he quickly regained his composure and said casually, "Isn't my oath to the heavens enough?"

"What, are you scared? If you're scared, you can say it directly. I won't force you," Yuan Mu Ye said lightly.

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

Seeing that the man didn't react, Yuan Mu Ye 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 see it in their dreams.

Soon, the man felt sleepy and began to yawn.

"So sleepy."

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

Yuan Mu Ye then entered the man's dream.

Entering the dream, Yuan Mu Ye only saw a quiet street.

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

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

"Help!"

It was a woman's voice.

Yuan Mu Ye immediately ran towards the sound. In the dark alley, two figures were running this way.

It wasn't until the two of them ran closer that Yuan Mu Ye could see them clearly. 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. Just as they were about to reach the intersection, the woman suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.

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

The woman 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, just as he put the woman on his back, the evil spirit caught up.

When he saw the evil spirit, Yuan Mu Ye was also stunned, because he knew this evil spirit.

Yuan Mu Ye didn't expect this evil spirit to be Chen Ning.

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

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

Hearing this, a trace 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 the two could live, which meant that he and his girlfriend would be separated.

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

The man was also stunned, 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 Mu Ye was also a little surprised. The man 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 glared 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 calmly.

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?"
