Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"The witch is really amazing. I'm begging her. If she intends to continue committing crimes, please do something that no human could possibly do, so that I can believe that this nineteenth person exists. No, I mean, I want her to believe that the witch really exists."

"...Okay, I'll tell her when I see her."

Damn it, even Lin Yan himself felt confused. He had just believed that there was a nineteenth person, then denied it; and when he believed that there were only the eighteen of them, he denied it again.

They hoped there were people beyond the eighteen, yet they couldn't be certain a nineteenth person existed. In other words, while there were more than eighteen people, including Lin Yan, there were still fewer than nineteen. The number of people in the large house was 19 x 18, meaning it couldn't be represented as an integer. However, there couldn't be a number below a decimal point. The number of people should only be represented as an integer.

But the current situation is that it's still 19 x 18, which means there will be decimals that are less than one.

No wonder.

Because this nineteenth person is an invisible being.

Therefore, this number cannot be seen in numbers that can only be represented by integers.

This witch is invisible. Beatrice has no body, so she is invisible.

Does the nineteenth person really exist? Does the witch really exist? It's still 19 x 18, the witch exists within this x.

living room.

Even after Eiwa and her husband left, the awkward atmosphere lingered.

An atmosphere permeated the living room, where thinking about who the murderer was was tantamount to suspecting someone else, evolving into an atmosphere where discussing the murder case seemed taboo.

So at least everyone stopped mentioning the murder. But the fact that they were all thinking about it and couldn't say it out loud, having to keep it all bottled up inside, must have been even more unbearable. So, at least on the surface, the living room seemed to have returned to calm.

Although everything ultimately came to nothing.

"The rain seems to have lessened a bit."

"It's raining heavily."

"Even if the rain stops, no boat will come to this island. I hope a boat will come first thing tomorrow morning. I've had enough of this villa holiday."

"Mom, what time will the boat arrive tomorrow?"

"A boat was supposed to come to pick everyone up at 3 p.m. today. I believe they called us to let us know that they would send a boat after the typhoon passed, but unfortunately we couldn't get through. But they're not children. Since we've already told them we'd be picking up and dropping off guests, I think they'll arrive early tomorrow morning, around 9 a.m.."

It was already pitch black outside. I glanced at the clock; it was just past seven, and I was starting to get hungry.

kitchen.

Xiong Ze was enthusiastically cooking in the kitchen.

A variety of different plates were arranged, and although they were clearly not as artistic as Gota's cuisine, they were still quite beautiful. This was Kumazawa's intention, hoping that the meal would cheer everyone up from their gloomy mood.

Although Kumazawa can't compare to professional chefs like Gota, her cooking skills are definitely not bad. Growing up in a fishing village, her simple dishes sometimes receive high praise.

Following Xiong Ze's instructions, Jia Yin arranged the various prepared dishes on plates.

Jiayin sometimes helps out in the kitchen, but rarely takes on such tasks, so despite her best efforts, she's still a bit clumsy.

Jia Yin realized that her plating was not good, and her expression became somewhat gloomy.

But Xiong Ze smiled and said that was fine.

"The plating is beautiful, Jiayin, your technique is excellent."

"If it were Sister Shanin, she would have arranged it even more beautifully." Jiayin paused her plating and lowered her head in silence.

Normally, when Xiongze cooks, Shanin always helps out, but tonight, Jiayin is taking her place. Then, remembering Shanin's face and her tragic death, her expression twisted involuntarily.

"Let's forget about it for now."

Genji moved a soldier's piece, speaking to comfort Kanon. It was Nanjo who had run out of the living room, unable to bear the atmosphere, demanding that Genji play Go with her.

"Yes, I'll forget about it for now."

"Well, that's good."

Genji deliberately avoided looking at Kaon when he spoke.

Because he understood that for Jia Yin right now, having someone staring into her eyes would only make her feel worse.

Nanjo understood this as well, and restrained herself from offering words of comfort.

"I wonder where Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo has gone. I hope he is safe."

“I don’t understand, but I believe that all of this was arranged as the master wished. I am just serving the master’s furniture, and it would be presumptuous of me to make assumptions.”

"Aren't you afraid, Genji-nii? I have a feeling something bad will happen tonight, and the thought terrifies me."

“I have nothing to fear, because all I need to do is serve the Ushiromiya family wholeheartedly.” Nanjo sighed deeply and made a well-thought-out move.

Nanjo was a little puzzled.

He thought to himself that perhaps Genji thought he wouldn't get involved.

Nanjo couldn't fathom what was happening inside the mansion, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was all orchestrated by Ushiromiya Kinzo.

Ushiromiya Kinzo used this island as a chessboard to play chess, and as a result, six of his pieces fell over.

Nanjo wondered if Genji thought he was the only one who could stay outside the chessboard and wouldn't be in any danger.

He thought to himself that perhaps everyone was the same, that everyone had been placed on this chessboard as a pawn, and that no one was an exception.

Even Genji, who was most trusted by Ushiromiya Kinzo, no, even himself, who was arrogant and considered his only friend, was perhaps just a pawn on the chessboard.

"Brother Genji, I'm really afraid something will happen tonight. I sincerely pray that we can live to see tomorrow morning."

The bedroom of Eiha and her husband.

The Huiyu couple arrived at their guest room. Before the guesthouse was built, guests were supposed to stay in the guest rooms in these large houses, so until a few years ago, they actually stayed in this familiar room every time they came to hold a family meeting.

This room is just like a hotel room, with a bathroom in addition to the sleeping area. Since you're confined to your room, it's much more comfortable than the living room.

"It's only when you're with your own family that you can really relax. Everyone should do what we do and lock themselves in their guest rooms."

"What can be done? The eldest sister-in-law, Consort Xia of the Right Palace, arrogantly told everyone not to leave the living room, and who dared to object? She has been neglected all these years. After her elder brother died, she was finally able to step up, which is why she is so arrogant. If you can't stand it, there should be a limit to how thick-skinned you are."

"Don't say that. Your sister-in-law, Princess Natsumi, works very hard, so why do you have to make trouble for her in everything? Like that invoice incident just now, saying it like that was going too far."

"They were thinking that if they didn't say it then, they wouldn't have the chance to say it later."

Eba puffed out her cheeks cutely and sat down next to Hideyoshi, who was lying on the bed watching TV.

"However, it's been a long time since we've had time alone like this."

"Looking back now, you've gotten old. Time has flown by since Rangzhi was born."

"It really feels like time has flown by. Are we in such a rush to have children?"

Huiyu gazed into the distance; indeed, at that moment, she believed she had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Because Ushiromiya Kinzo was unable to conceive at the time. He had been married to Ushiromiya Natsumi for six years without any sign of pregnancy, which greatly displeased Ushiromiya Kinzo.

Eiha initially thought that since she would lose her place in the Ushiromiya family after marriage, whether Ushiromiya Kurausu gave birth to an heir to the family headship was none of her concern. That's what she thought at the time. Then one day, she heard a revelation from heaven. Or perhaps her greed led her to hear the whispers of the devil.

She thought that if she gave birth to an heir first, she might be able to stay in the Ushiromiya family, and might even have a chance to become the head of the family herself.

She consulted with Hideyoshi, who agreed without hesitation.

Hideyoshi agreed not out of greed, but because, for Hideyoshi, who had suffered hardship since childhood, this was an opportunity to rediscover the warmth of family.

So he readily agreed, not caring who would take the other's surname after marriage, and agreed to marry into the Ushiromiya family.

Persuading Ushiromiya Kinzo was no easy task, but Ewa, having been his daughter for many years, knew his personality intimately. Therefore, she seized the moment when Kinzo's dissatisfaction with Natsumi Ushiromiya reached its peak, successfully getting him to agree to marry into the family. Perhaps Kinzo saw a reflection of his younger self in Hideyoshi, who rose from humble beginnings; he quickly became very satisfied with Hideyoshi and agreed to marry into the family.

She rigorously trained Jōji, hoping that he would become the head of the Ushiromiya family in the future.

Her efforts paid off, and Osamu has become an outstanding young man who can be presented to any public. Therefore, Eiha has never been able to forgive him for falling for a character like the maid, Sanon.

When she learned of Shanon's death, which rendered the engagement invalid, she was deeply shocked by the cruelty of the event. However, she also felt relieved that her beloved Ryo hadn't been taken away by a lowly servant.

“I’ve always disliked my brother, Ushiromiya Zangusu. He was always arrogant and bossy, boasting that he would soon become the head of the clan, so I’ve always wanted to get back at him. I know it was just a childish tantrum, but in the end, this kind of emotion has dominated my entire life. If it were just that, it wouldn’t be so bad. But I’ve dragged you and Joji into this, disrupting your lives.”

"Huiyu, don't blame yourself so much."

Hideyoshi stood up and hugged Eba's shoulders, a warm and comforting feeling washing over him.

“I’ve lived more than half my life, but I’ve never regretted it. Never. I think I’ve had a very happy life with Eiha. No other man has ever had the chance to experience such a life. You made me, who lost my support because of the war, realize the warmth of family again. So I am full of gratitude to the Ushiromiya family, and I think I only have this family. You have come this far, and not a single step in this life has been superfluous. Even today, I have lived a very happy life.”

"Husband, thank you."

Eyu lowered her head and buried her face in Hideyoshi's arms. No one in the living room could have imagined that Eyu would show such a vulnerable side.

"I am the one who should thank you. I have never regretted living with you until today."

"Me too. I'm so glad I can be with you."

“Rang Zhi has grown up and can handle things on his own. He can manage without me watching over him. I suggested we go to the Maldives or somewhere similar around the New Year for a nice vacation, just the two of us, no one else to bother us. What do you think?”

"No way. Every year you complain that you don't have time to sleep because you're writing so many New Year's cards."

"I'm not writing any more next year. I won't look at the New Year's cards, I'll only look at the lottery numbers at the bottom. This year, I'm going to win at least a color TV."

"Seriously, nobody wants to look at lottery numbers in the Maldives."

"Then let's not watch any of them. Just the two of us, continuing our honeymoon from when Rang Zhi was about to be born?"

"Hmm, that's not bad."

"I've heard that the Maldives is a great place. There's nothing on the island except for beautiful coral reefs and overwater bungalows."

"When did you start saying you wanted to continue living like newlyweds?"

"I'll go as soon as my work is finished. I'll have to ask the travel agency for details, but I think it should be before the Chinese New Year."

"No, I want it now."

Eiha asked for a kiss in a manner that sounded like both a complaint and a pout. The only sounds in the room were the news broadcast that Hideyoshi had left on and the sound of rain tapping on the window, which seemed to lack any romantic understanding.

living room.

I don't know how much time passed.

Genji knocked on the door and came in.

"Madam, dinner is ready. Would you please dine here?"

"Yes, bring it this way. Is Dr. Nanjo still in the kitchen?"

"Yes, he said he wanted to think carefully about his next move. The other servants are with him too, so please don't worry."

"After all, Genji-no-haku's chess skills are already good enough that he can play with Grandpa. I heard he's even better than Dr. Nanjo."

"Is that so? I once asked Genji to play with me, so it turns out he was deliberately letting me win."

"Maria, it's almost time to eat. But you really have a way of watching TV all day without getting tired of it."

"Maria watches TV all the time, so she never gets tired of it."

"So Maria loves watching TV."

"It's time to eat, so we need to clean the table first."

They had just torn out several pages from Maria's notebook and were doodling on them; the remnants were still on the table. Zhu Zhixiang quickly cleaned up the scraps. Lin Yan was quite surprised by how well everyone could draw.

"Genji, go and talk to Aunt Eyu and the others, and ask them if they want to at least eat with everyone, although I think they will most likely refuse."

"As ordered."

"First it was my father-in-law, and then it was my aunt, Eiha. The Ushiromiya family's dining table can never be fully attended."

Princess Natsumi Ushiro started having a headache again, gently pressing her temples. The corridor in front of the guest room of the Eiwa couple was not far from the kitchen and living room, so Genji went to report alone, but the guest room was a little further away.

Princess Natsumi Ushiro repeatedly warned him not to act alone, and Nanjo had just warned him to be more aware of potential dangers.

So Genji, along with Kanon, went to the guest room of Eiwa and her husband. Genji knocked on the door and said...

"Miss Eiha, Mr. Hideyoshi, dinner is ready."

He waited for a while, but there was no response.

"Chief Steward Yuan, this is..."
