Star Trace Gate

In the restroom of a fast food restaurant.

Ren Ye, Xiao Shuai, and Yin Hu suddenly joined forces to attack and unexpectedly captured Captain Tan.

"Ong!"

Ren Ye raised one arm and remotely controlled the Phoenix Fire Furnace, ready to suck Fat Tan into the furnace and fuck him hard at any time.

When Fatty Tan saw this, he was shocked and said, "Damn, you guys are serious, right?"

"Captain Tan, let's be frank. You now have only two choices besides taking off your pants." Xiao Shuai said loudly: "Either the three of us will fuck you alone, or you can fuck all three of us alone. It's your choice!"

"...!"

Veins popped up on Fat Tan's forehead, and he said humiliatingly, "You are so insulting!"

"Buzz-!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Human Emperor Sword, the giant knife, and the red silk all burst out with brilliant light, and the Phoenix Fire Furnace also shone brightly. With a bang, the Heavenly Fire ignited in the furnace, emitting an intense burning sensation.

Fat Tan's pupils shrank, and he clenched his fists and shouted decisively: "Okay, I choose to take off my pants."

"You three are such idiots, this is too much of a bully."

While cursing, he began to untie his belt and shouted in grievance and confusion: "But this... why is this happening? What on earth do you want to see?!"

"I want to see the needle signs." Xiao Shuai replied seriously and elegantly.

"I stabbed you with a needle and made you unable to take care of yourself." Fatty Tan cursed angrily, "I shouldn't have saved you in Tiangong Building..."

He untied his belt in frustration, held up the edge of his pants with both hands, and cursed in an awkward posture: "You three idiots, are you really just staring at me with your eyes? This is so embarrassing...!"

"Don't let me sense that you have any magical fluctuations, otherwise we will have no more friends." Yinhu's expression was cautious and focused.

"…Today's shame will be repaid a hundredfold tomorrow."

Fat Tan gritted his teeth and undressed under the coercion of the three men. It didn't take long for him to take off all his clothes.

He covered his vital parts in shame, clamped his legs together, and turned his head away proudly.

"Go up to the side."

Xiao Shuai waved his hand and gave an order in a serious tone.

"...!"

Fat Tan gritted his teeth, walked to the far left of the toilet, stood in the corner, and remained silent.

Ren Ye took two steps towards the pile of clothes that Tan Pang had taken off, squatted down, and began to search carefully.

Yinhu and Xiaoshuai were standing nearby, staring at the captain with a scrutinizing look in their eyes.

Time passed minute by minute, and Ren Ye searched all of Tan Pang's clothes. In the end, he only found a few scattered gold coins and two bottles of ordinary pills. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

The result of this surprise inspection made Ren Ye look a little dazed.

He recognized these gold coins. They were the inheritance that everyone shared after Xiao Yuan and the woman died. As for the elixir, he opened it and smelled it. It was just an ordinary source-boosting elixir, nothing unusual.

Not far away, Xiao Shuai saw that Ren didn't say anything, so he immediately whispered, "Brother, did you find the thing you mentioned?"

Ren also shook his head and replied in private, "No."

"No?!"

Xiao Shuai was slightly stunned, and looked at Tan Pang with suspicion, looking him up and down carefully.

Soon, he ordered sternly, "Turn your back, take your hands away, and spread your legs. I want to observe the dark."

"?!"

Fatty Tan was slightly stunned, and almost laughed out of anger: "Okay, okay, come and see, closer, closer..."

Xiao Shuai stretched his neck and wanted to get closer to observe.

Fat Tan was so angry that he was shaking, and when he jumped up his nose was full of sinuses.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Shuai was stunned by the beating and immediately yelled, "You dare to fight back?!"

"You want Pi Yanzi to watch this? Do you really think I'm not a human being?! I'm going to fight you!"

"Brother Hu, beat him!" Xiao Shuai jumped up.

"Don't make any noise."

Ren Ye scolded, turned around and looked at Tan Pang and asked, "On the day that Brother Hong died, you and Yinhu were separated for a long time. Where did you go?"

Fatty Tan was stunned for a moment: "The Tiangong Building caught fire, and all the remaining souls turned into burning corpses. We were pushed away at that time, and Yinhu also knew this."

"I'm asking you, where have you been?!" Ren Ye stared at him with a serious expression.

"After we separated, I wanted to reunite, but there were too many burning corpses around." Seeing the three people interrogating him together, Fatty Tan responded anxiously, "When the Heavenly Fire was burning most vigorously, I couldn't use the ancient mirror to move, because the magic weapon would be burned by the flames, and the supernatural power was also very easy to be interrupted, so my movements were extremely slow. However, I have always been fighting from the first floor of the Heavenly Palace to the lower floors, but I am in a different position from Yinhu."

Ren Ye's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again: "Have you never been to other places?"

When Fatty Tan heard this, he frowned and said, "...I did walk a distance away alone, but that doesn't count as going to other places, it's just on the level of the Heavenly Palace!"

"Where did you go?"

"After Yin Hu and I separated, I sensed a mysterious fluctuation in the depths of the Heavenly Palace. It was very faint, and it seemed to be there and not there." Fat Tan showed a reminiscing expression and said softly, "That mysterious fluctuation did not belong to either Yin Hu or me. It was very strange. So, at first I thought it was some special hint. I was curious... so I followed it and checked it out. But halfway through, the mysterious fluctuation disappeared. Then, I smelled a very special smell, but there were too many burning corpses around, so I ran away."

"Special smell?!" Yin Hu raised his eyebrows: "Then why didn't you tell me later?"

Fatty Tan cursed speechlessly, "It's just a fucking smell, nothing special happened. And there are so many women in the Heavenly Palace, and there are ten black-robed law enforcers, so what's wrong with a little smell? It doesn't mean anything. After I left, I didn't think much about it...!"

Ren Ye pondered for a while: "Recall what kind of smell it is?"

"It's a very special smell, but I really can't describe it. I'm not a dog." Fat Tan covered his crotch and added with a frown, "It's very light and fragrant."

"Does it smell like scented powder?" Yin Hu suddenly asked.

Fatty Tan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, yes, that's the feeling. It's very much like the smell of incense powder and spices. But if you smell it carefully, it will disappear in an instant."

Ren Ye heard this and thought in his heart: "Obviously, the smell that Fatty Tan claimed to smell should be the same as what Yin Hu smelled. So, this smell appeared in Tiangong Building a long time ago?!"

Not far away, Fat Tan covered his crotch and glared at the three people: "Now you can talk, why did you ask me to take off my pants? Huh?!"

Ren Ye slowly stood up and frowned, "If Brother Hong really died at the hands of a traitor, then what was the purpose of the traitor killing him?"

Fatty Tan looked at him and said, "I guessed that it was probably to snatch the fragments of the autobiography and the gold coins. Because the story of this star gate is about to come to an end. In the final stage, these two items can determine the final victory, so..."

When he said this, he suddenly paused, his eyes gradually emitting light: “Oh oh oh oh oh, I know, I finally know why you asked me to take off my pants!”

Ren nodded slightly. "There is a very important rule in this star gate, that is, gold coins cannot be given, exchanged, or transferred. Only the legacy gold coins of dead players can fall into the hands of others. But the legacy gold coins are ownerless before they are collected by the players into the consciousness space. This star gate contains a lot of refresh mechanisms. For example, the secret room before has to be refreshed once a day. Therefore, if personal belongings are placed in the external space, they are likely to be washed away. If they are placed in the consciousness space, the gold coin rankings can be clearly displayed."

"So, I infer that whoever killed Brother Hong may have a large amount of gold." Ren Ye said word by word: "That is Brother Hong's legacy, at least two hundred gold coins. Such a large amount, and it was obtained by killing people, so... unless it is absolutely necessary, the traitor will not hide it somewhere casually, and must carry it with him. Otherwise, if it is gone... it means that all the work is in vain."

"Fuck!"

When Fatty Tan heard this, he immediately jumped up and cursed, "You thick-browed, big-eyed sandbag! You deliberately didn't mention the traitor just now, just to let me down my guard, and then launch a surprise attack to prevent me from noticing anything unusual and secretly find a place to hide the gold coins?!"

"That's right. This kind of thing needs to be checked unexpectedly, otherwise it won't work." Ren also nodded and admitted: "I'm very happy. Because I have always regarded you as my best friend, and I really don't want you to be a traitor. Do you still remember that evening when the sun was setting, we experienced life and death together in Changsheng Temple, and walked in the golden field, as close as brothers..."

"Fuck your uncle's brotherly love!"

After Fatty Tan learned of Ren Ye's purpose, he immediately flew into a rage and said, "Stop fooling me! You brought two idiots with you to pull down my pants. This is absolutely unacceptable. These two drooling idiots dared to start a fire as soon as you fanned the wind. They have no independent thinking ability at all and don't even know that they were sold out in secret. In the eight days, I took care of you like a nanny for six days... bought you meals, gave you small gifts, and gave you emotional value and spiritual comfort at critical moments. In the end, the three of you actually teamed up to humiliate me. I really am... a cheapskate."

"You are a bunch of idiots, you still doubt me?!"

"I doubt you now too!"

"Especially you - sandbag! You set the pace throughout the whole process, secretly recruiting all kinds of idiots to be your subordinates. Aren't you suspicious?"

"When it comes to understanding Brother Hong, no one can compare to you."

Tan Pang's mouth was foaming with white foam, and he yelled hysterically: "You have to take off your pants now... What if you have gold coins on you? What if you are crying thief?! You are the best at taking the initiative to lead the trend and divert the blame!"

As soon as the words came out, the whole bathroom fell silent.

“You don’t have to bite back in anger. My two brothers are here. You can’t just sit there and do nothing…” Ren Ye sneered and was about to refute.

"brush!"

"brush!"

After Yinhu and Xiaoshuai pondered for a while, they both looked at Ren Ye sincerely with ambiguous expressions.

Ren was slightly stunned, his eyes full of defensiveness.

"Brother, to be honest, I also want to see your acupuncture skills." Xiao Shuai's expression was full of curiosity.

"Take it off, so he won't have anything to say and we can still be friends in the future." Yinhu also spoke.

"...!"

Ren Ye looked at the two guys in shock, and after a long pause he said, "He's right, you two... are really Shabi!"

……

ten minutes later.

All four of them took off their clothes and handed them to each other for inspection. In the end, they confirmed that no one had any extra gold coins on them and there was nothing unusual.

Fatty Tan stood barefoot in the toilet, still cursing indignantly: "You really all have pig brains! Even if you want to suspect someone, you shouldn't suspect me first! If I'm a traitor, why would I kill Brother Hong first? Think about it carefully, if the traitor kills people in order to snatch the fragments of the autobiography and the gold coins, then there must be a priority, right?!"

Ren also listened quietly: "That's right."

"Brother Hong is pursuing Song An's line, and the fragments of the autobiography in his hand are all centered on Song An. And what about me? I have Pan Lianrong's!" Tan Pang was very angry: "If I am a traitor, then I will definitely kill Xiao Shuai first! Why? Because after Xiao Yuan died, he and I are the only ones on the same line. Only if I kill him first and get the missing part of the autobiography fragment in my hand, can I possibly complete Pan Lianrong's line and get the final large reward, thereby widening the distance between us. But what's the point of killing Brother Hong?"

"Even if he dies and I get the fragments of Song An's autobiography, there is still an old cadre on Song An's side. Having two lines in hand seems to be a great advantage, but it is actually a stupid operation. The more people you kill, the greater the chance of being exposed. Can I ensure that I can successfully kill the old cadre later? If not, I may not be able to complete the two lines, and I will end up with nothing."

"If I have to kill someone, I must kill Xiao Shuai first, and directly hold the Pan Lianrong clue in my hands, ensuring a one-third guaranteed chance. This is what a smart person should do!" Tan Pang pointed at Xiao Shuai excitedly and said, "But I saved this Sha Bi! If it weren't for me, his photo would have been placed in the mourning hall. So, if I am a traitor, even if I don't kill him, I definitely won't save him. Isn't it better to wait for him to die? After the inheritance is exposed, I will discuss with everyone to divide it equally. Is it difficult to secretly get the missing fragments of my autobiography?"

"Oh, it's certainly hard for you three harpies."

He cursed loudly, "On the other hand, if Brother Hong dies, who will benefit the most?!"

The three of them were slightly stunned, and they all had the answer in their hearts.

"Is there any need to think about this? He must be an old cadre! All the people on his line are dead now. As long as he doesn't die and just completes the mission, the worst-case scenario is that he will hold Song An's line alone." Fatty Tan looked at Ren Ye: "Do you think you have a great advantage? Once he has Song An's line... he may be ahead of us by a large margin in an instant!"

Ren Ye thought for a long time: "Of course I am more suspicious of the old cadre. But the problem is... he was not at the scene on the day of Brother Hong's death. He was with me. How did he kill someone remotely? Moreover, I was the first one to arrive at the scene, so how did he take away Brother Hong's belongings?! This doesn't make sense. I can't figure it out."

"I thought about it and came up with a possibility."

After Fatty Tan replied, he immediately raised his hand and called out, "Mirror Reproduction - Scene Restore."

"brush!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Ren Ye and the other two suddenly saw a drastic change in the scene in the toilet. A very clear shadow was reflected in the ancient mirror, which was the scene of Brother Hong's death that day.

Fatty Tan said, "When you were inspecting the scene that day, I reproduced the scene there and studied it at night... Do you still remember what kind of miracles the old cadre showed when Shabao was beaten by countless bald men in Fulai County?"

"The power of thunder."

Xiao Shuai immediately responded.

"Okay, let's take a look at the scene." When Fat Tan raised his hand, he was ready to enlarge the shadow.

"Squeak!"

At this moment, a cleaning lady suddenly pushed the door open and saw four men of different ages huddled together, naked facing each other.

The aunt was stunned for a moment.

When the four of them looked at her, they instinctively covered their faces and turned around abruptly.

"You...get out!!!" Fat Tan yelled.

"…Old Na Na has her period now. It really opens my eyes!"

The aunt murmured with her three views shattered.
