The End of Ten Days
Author: NovelBin
Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 3
Qi Xia silently repeated the word a few times in his mind. After confirming his identity, he nonchalantly placed his card face down.
Just a minute ago, he had fantasized about the idea that
But now, things were different.
Although he didn’t know any of the eight people sitting before him, there was no doubt in his mind—
The goat-headed figure pointed to the sensual girl seated to Qi Xia’s left.
The girl was startled, then pouted her lips.
Qi Xia glanced to his left. Starting the storytelling clockwise from the girl seemed unfavorable to him—he would end up being the last to speak.
Under intense tension and pressure, people usually only remembered the first speaker and the last speaker.
However, raising an objection now would make him stand out too much, so he decided to wait and see.
The girl furrowed her brows, her large eyes darting around anxiously before she sighed and said,
The others didn’t say anything, simply sitting in silence as they listened.
The girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her slender fingers and began,
Only now did everyone notice that this girl, Tiantian, was dressed scantily in a dirty low-cut mini-dress that barely covered what needed to be covered.
But she didn’t seem to care about her appearance at all.
Tiantian seemed ready to continue complaining about the client, but her eyes accidentally drifted to the dead body on the table. She shivered and took a deep breath before continuing,
At the mention of "earthquake," everyone’s expressions subtly shifted, as if recalling something.
Tiantian said, pointing above her head as her voice trembled.
She let out a long sigh and added,
Tiantian made a pitiful expression, clearly a practiced look designed to tug at men’s heartstrings.
The tattooed man sitting next to her paused for a moment before saying,
The man in the white coat looked confused.
the tattooed man declared confidently.
Tiantian exclaimed, visibly startled.
The tattooed man gave her a cold look and said,
Hearing this, Tiantian’s face turned bright red.
she protested. Looking around nervously, she added,
The group began to ponder this, while Qi Xia’s expression grew serious.
From Tiantian’s story, Qi Xia couldn’t detect any sense of dishonesty. Her storytelling was steady and conversational, like chatting with friends.
Such a natural delivery suggested two possibilities: either she had rehearsed the story many times, or she was telling the truth.
But now, the tattooed man had introduced a new angle:
Lying about a name didn’t require logical consistency or coherence, making it hard to spot. After all, none of the participants knew each other, and names were only conveyed through personal claims.
Qi Xia recalled the goat-headed figure’s words:
The rules didn’t specify that the lie had to involve a false story—it could also involve a false name.
Tiantian, now accused, looked nervous and panicked.
Hearing this, Qi Xia shook his head silently.
This woman wasn’t as clever as she seemed.
This meant she couldn’t have planned such a detailed lie in advance, nor could she have come up with the "name deception" strategy on the spot.
The goat-headed figure said there was "only one liar," and that liar could only be Qi Xia himself.
If no one else caught onto the significance of Tiantian’s "name issue," Qi Xia had found a foolproof method to win.
To craft his own lie, Qi Xia decided to avoid attention-grabbing details. For instance, using the surname "Qi" wasn’t ideal—it was uncommon enough to be memorable.
Instead, he decided to call himself
As for the rest of his story, he would keep it straightforward. This way, no matter how sharp the others were, they wouldn’t find any inconsistencies.
The game was about to end.
