Chapter 676: Who is the undercover agent? Discrepancies in testimonies
"Wait, something's not right!" Feng Wang suddenly realized there was a problem.
"You said before that you have morning grumpiness and would get very angry if woken up."
"Then if you were almost killed, naturally you'd still be woken up, right?"
On Sloth's mask, the positions of the two eyes had already turned into those spiral mosquito coil shapes, spinning round and round.
"Ah, really? Did I say something like that? I'm too sleepy."
"Hmm, seems like I did say that, but that was just to trick them."
"After all, there were so many people, it was dangerous. If I got killed while sleeping, then I'd really be dead."
Feng Wang stared at him blankly, even forgetting about the time. This game day after day really made her emotions soar and plummet dramatically.
After reacting for a few seconds, she hesitantly asked:
"In other words, your powerful strength like this comes at the cost of very obvious side effects.""Your drowsiness, falling asleep easily, that's the price."
Snap.
Sloth snapped his fingers, saying with great approval:
"Hmm, your thinking is quite good, that's exactly it."
"So, when I'm asleep, I'm actually very fragile."
Feng Wang once again felt a bit dizzy, but now, she also found it quite reasonable.
For him to have strength at this level, it made sense that the side effects would be powerful too.
After all, she also knew that those [Gods] would suppress any strong individuals who stood out.
"Is this... a curse on you..."
"Something like this, you actually told me just like that?"
Even now, she still found it hard to believe that the other party could speak to her with such frankness.
"Because you're a teammate, of course I trust you."
"When they were here before, I needed to put on an act. Actually, I'm very weak, I already want to sleep again now."
"I really owe you a lot from before, I'll have to trouble you more later."
"I believe you'll be fine, right?"
Feng Wang fell silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"I'll do my best..."
......
In another room, the hero who was the first to disengage from the fight with Lu Ce and return early had also told Xie Antong everything.
"...These are the exact words, but I don't think they have much meaning. That guy sometimes doesn't make much logical sense when he talks."
But Xie Antong didn't react much, just calmly replied:
"No, Xue Zou, you did very well. This is enough."
Yes, her partner was named "Xue Zou."
Xue Zou looked at the mysterious person before her, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Also, how many people were there tonight?" Xie Antong asked.
"He and his partner were both there. Besides that, including me, six people went in total."
"Six?" Xie Antong repeated, the corners of her mouth slightly curling up.
Good, there definitely were smart people in this game.
If all seven people had really gone, there would be almost no room for maneuvering the next day.
With one less, there was still something to discuss.
"Do you know him? Does he have any weaknesses?" Xue Zou said, still feeling somewhat apprehensive at this moment.
"If that's the case, wanting to kill him might really be difficult."
"Oh?" Xie Antong turned her head to look at her. "Are you so certain he must be the Troublemaker?"
Hearing this, Xue Zou was immediately stunned.
After a long while, as if just remembering, she said somewhat speechlessly:
"Isn't that what you said during the day?"
"Heh, right." Xie Antong nodded, not saying anything more.
Only she herself clearly knew that what she said during the day was...
—Vote for him, no explanation!
All seven people said they investigated him, but their opinions weren't consistent, such a big problem...
Xue Zou was, after all, the strongest from one world.
......
[Alright! The night has passed, day has broken!]
The Arbitrator's voice sounded again. Sixteen people once again appeared beside the round table.
Everyone immediately turned their eyes toward Sloth's direction, but at this moment, he had actually fallen asleep again.
—Every time he made a move consumed a great deal of energy, causing him to fall asleep even earlier, not even lasting ten minutes.
But now, all the eyes looking at him held not the slightest trace of contempt or doubt, only fear and dread.
They all knew now that there lay a sleeping beast, not some low-ability player from who-knows-where.
Moreover, in the air at this moment, there was faintly a hint of the smell of blood.
[Ah, it seems something happened last night.]
[However, everyone is still alive so far, so it doesn't matter.]
[Next up is the second daytime mini-game—Who's the Undercover, everyone please enjoy the game.]
The game rules quickly entered everyone's minds. The players all began to observe.
Actually, the rules were very simple: each player received a common piece of information, a word that the [Troublemaker] did not have.
Everyone had to take turns speaking, using three words to describe the information they received, and finally vote to mark out the [Troublemaker].
Xie Antong looked at the information she received and immediately felt a bit speechless.
[The Arbitrator is the most impartial existence in the world.]
What kind of information was this?
And, wasn't the personal bias a bit too obvious?
The game had already begun. The eight, no, seven players looked at each other's expressions;
their expression management all seemed normal.
A marker light lit up above Xie Antong's head, indicating she would speak first.
"My opinion is, we can ignore this game's rules for now," Xie Antong began.
"Using this opportunity to speak, let's first finish sharing the information in our hands, then play that unoriginal, stupid game."
"First, last night I sent my partner to attack 'Sin.' In the end, there were only seven 'Heroes' there;
one didn't go."
"Everyone, first discuss whether you sent out your partner and whether you were attacked. Let's find that person."
Hearing Xie Antong's voice, everyone nodded slightly, including the eight partners, who also looked over.
This indeed seemed like a good judgment, even clearer than the game itself.
"As for my three descriptive words: narcissistic, boring, questionable."
After Xie Antong finished speaking, she directly closed her mouth, passing the descriptive power to the next person.
The next was Tu Shan. He indicated he had sent his partner to attack "Sin" and had no other information.
Then, he also said three words: "referee, one sentence, subjective."
Then, it was Sun's turn.
Sun curled his lip and opened his mouth to say:
"My turn, huh? Let me ask something first."
"What if my partner doesn't listen to my commands? That's not right, is it?"
"Last night I told him to go kill that Tu Shan for me, but he made excuses there, and in the end, it seems he didn't go either!"
Everyone: ???
