Chapter 6

Author: Wendy77
"Enough! Do you realize how paranoid and crazy you look right now?" Steve roared, tossing his phone at me. "You wanna check my phone? Here, go ahead! You'd better get on your knees and apologize to me if you can't find anything!"

I took a deep breath, fists clenched tightly. Those familiar words confirmed that I had indeed returned to the past—or rather, reset the game. A wave of joy and excitement surged overwhelmingly inside me.

Faced with my silence, Steve came up to me. "What's up with you

    Just then, my phone vibrated. It was Steve calling. I answered and turned on the speakerphone, giving Hayley and Chester a glance."Renee, where are you?"I could hear in his voice how he was trying to suppress his anger. At the same time, there was a hint of desperation. "Will you please come back? I don't want you doing anything reck—"I cut him off with a cold laugh. "What's the matter, Steve? Are you worried I'll kill myself first, and the police will suspect you of murdering your wife?"He suddenly choked on his words. It took him a long while before he replied hoarsely, "What are you talking about? I can't believe you'd think of me that way! We're husband and wife, Renee!"Just… Come back! I promise I'll give you all the love and sense of security—""I've already gathered Hayley and Chester together," I interrupted him, my words sharp. "We know everything you've done, Steve. Now, you have two choices. Either you apologize to our faces, or we'll quit the game and leave you a

    Back then, Hayley, Chester, and I looked at Steve in unison.He gave a bitter smile. "I'm a student union member. It's my responsibility to keep everyone safe. Besides, I'm pretty good at this game. I can give you hints. That way, we'll definitely make it out alive."At that moment, we trusted him. Hayley had always had a crush on him, so she had been the first to agree. None of us realized what was truly going on.After reading both the setup and the answer, Steve understood it was a death scenario. He wanted all of us to fail repeatedly so that he could be the sole survivor.So, while acting as the host, he also gave himself another role in the story—my character's fake husband. The so-called cheating best friend never existed. All this time, he had been guiding me into making mistakes.I even remembered asking him, "Steve, do I have a husband in this story?"He had answered, "Yes.""Did he cheat on me?""Yes."…Since Steve was the host, we had no choice but to believe him

You'd better get on your knees and apologize to me if you can't find anything!"I took a deep breath, fists clenched tightly. Those familiar words confirmed that I had indeed returned to the past—or rather, reset the game. A wave of joy and excitement surged overwhelmingly inside me.Faced with my silence, Steve came up to me. "What's up with you, Renee? Lost your mind?"I slapped him hard across the face."What the hell?" he barked, staring at me in shock. "Why did you hit me?""Do I need a reason?" I replied coldly, raising my hand and slapping him harder this time. "Cheat on whoever you want. I don't care anymore. Since you like toying with people's feelings, I'm going to make you pay this time!"Without waiting for his reaction, I rushed back into the room and grabbed a photo album. Then I stormed out the door. I called a cab an

    Steve's face was ashen. His breathing turned rapid and uneven. His lips moved frantically. There was a pleading look in his eyes, as if countless words were trapped inside him, fighting to come out.Still, nothing else was said."Go on," I taunted him with a sneer. "Why are you so quiet now? Weren't you so bold when you were framing me? What is it now? Trying to stop me?"The door was suddenly pushed open. Hayley rushed in, panicked. She immediately went to Steve and rubbed his back to steady his breathing.Then, she snapped at me, "What did you say to him? Why is he like this? Steve, slow your breathing. You're going to hyperventilate!"I watched her and couldn't help but laugh. "You're hopeless, Hayley. You still don't get it, do you? We've all been played. Aren't you curious why Steve can only answer 'yes' or 'no,' huh?"The real mystery was never whether he's Steve Manson. It's what role he was made to play."Hayley's expression darkened, as if she thought I was talking nons

    A complicated look flashed in Hayley's eyes."I used a polygraph on him. He didn't lie," she said. "I realized something was wrong the moment I saw him. The way he looked at me at the end was almost… pleading."No one else could be controlling him except you. As for your motive for killing the victim, only you can tell me the answer."I lost all rationale and slammed my fists on the table. "Hayley, you must believe me! I didn't kill anyone or hide Steve! Run a polygraph on me right now! You can even check my phone records, my messages, my location history—everything I've done recently! And—""Please calm down," Hayley interrupted me, then sighed softly. "Think carefully. Is it possible you have selective amnesia? Or maybe dissociative identity disorder?"I shook my head in panic. "No, I don't! I swear I don't have any of that!"Hayley stayed silent for a long time, then began laying out her theory."If we want to find out where the real Steve is, we can only work backward throug

    The older officer cleared his throat sharply. "Watch your words. Don't say anything you shouldn't be saying."I zipped my lips and shook my head, smirking coldly. I had nothing to worry about because I simply hadn't killed anyone. No matter how much they investigated, I could easily clear my name.What puzzled me was why the dead man had Steve's ID and who he really was.Regardless, I had to keep the fact that Steve could only answer truthfully with "yes" or "no" a secret. Otherwise, more trouble would follow me.Hayley's interrogation went on for a long time, but it wasn't fruitful.Based on the estimated time of death, if it had been a homicide, my home surveillance footage proved there was no possible window I could've committed the crime.While Hayley and the older officer went to push for the DNA results, I leaned in close to Steve's ear. "Is the real Steve dead?"He paused for a second, then answered quietly, "Yes and no.""Is everything you say the absolute truth?""Yes
