Xie Chi came to the room they were first introduced to by the servant. The old woman was still lying motionless on the bed. Xie Chi had already learned her identity. She was the real body of the tarot witch.

The dying tarot witch followed the requirements of the tarot reincarnation method and turned herself into a living dead, starting the game smoothly. Then during the game, sacrifices were offered to the heavens and earth in the death order. Once the sacrifices reached a certain number, the witch would be successfully reincarnated once the game was over. This was a complete process.

Thus, the theme was to die and to live. It was because the witch had to dedicate herself to death for the reincarnation to start.

Two crows stood on the dry branches by the window, shaking their heads back and forth and watching alertly. In his current state, Xie Chi wouldn’t be discovered.

He learned from the previous conversation with the hermit that the crows were the players who failed in the last round of the game. After they died and became sacrifices, they were turned into the crow servants at the beginning of the next game and were responsible for helping the witch monitor the players. They were also part of the rules of the game. A servant corresponded to a crow and also to a player. It was because the servants once also had identity cards.

During the time when the crows danced, the servants were arranged in a certain order. This order was the order of their identity cards in the previous game. The first servant was the last Fool, the second was the Magician and etc.

Thus, the crow in the servant’s hand flew to the actor. This meant the actor had inherited their identity card. The crow on the second servant’s hand flew to Xie Chi. The second servant was the Magician so Xie Chi’s identity card was the Magician.

This was a type of game transfer. The crows dancing was actually the handover ceremony for the next game. In the dance content, the crows were in groups or alone. This hinted at the interpersonal relationships between players in this round of the game.

Everything had a path to follow.

Xie Chi walked toward the iron fence around the bed and touched his wrist. He still remembered the tarot witch previously grabbing him and wanting to say something to him, only to be stopped by the servants who rushed in. The servants also included the beautiful and weird maid who was transformed by the witch. He couldn’t exclude the possibility of the witch directing and acting herself but there was a possibility that the old woman really had something to say.

Currently, he was in this state and couldn’t be seen by the crows. This meant the witch couldn’t come to stop him. However, the witch left two crows to guard this place. This indirectly showed how important the old woman was. If he was discovered now, the witch couldn’t kill him but she could cause a huge hindrance to his next actions. Thus, he should do this as quickly as possible.

“Brother, let’s go in,” Xie Chi instructed.

Xie Xinglan understood. He held onto the edge of the iron fence, gently flipped over it and bent down. Then he shook the old woman sleeping on the bed. The crows outside the window called out when they saw the old woman’s shoulder moving strangely.

Xie Chi’s heart sank. He turned to look at the door while the shaking of his hands increased. Not far outside the door, there was the sound of footsteps. It should be the witch rushing over. Xie Chi lowered his head. The old woman had already opened her eyes and they were staring at him. She seemed to recognize his identity. She could see him!

“Wu wu wu—” The old woman raised her head excitedly in order to talk. She opened her mouth to speak to Xie Chi only for him to find she had no tongue! According to the hermit, she was clearly the witch. After the witch joined the reincarnation game, she even cut off her own tongue! What exactly was she afraid of revealing?
