Chapter 679: A Fierce Battle for Votes? Everyone Wants to Vote for Themselves!
After hearing the Arbitrator's response, Chiyo Eine's eyelids twitched as she said,
"So that's how it is. Another game that's easy to clear, huh."
"So, clearing the daytime game is very simple. Even getting more than five victories is simple."
"Therefore, the Troublemaker's desire to kill would be relatively strong, wanting to quickly reduce the number of players."
"Is that right?"
If before she had been speaking normally, as if conversing with everyone,
these last few sentences were spoken directly while looking at Xie Antong, as if conveying her own judgment to the other party.
Xie Antong looked into her eyes and smiled slightly, offering no particular response.
The Arbitrator also gave no indication regarding her judgment, acting as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Like an emotionless machine, he opened his mouth and said:[Player "Chiyo Eine", time is almost up.]
[Please quickly give your descriptive judgment.]
"Is it even necessary?" Chiyo Eine sneered.
"With the situation already like this, the focal point of this round is one of the three of us."
"After all, that guy who's been sleeping the whole time probably won't wake up either. When his turn comes, he likely won't say anything."
"So, I don't need to give any description to prove my identity regarding your sentence. Let's just do this and vote directly in the end."
Arbitrator: ?
[Wait, I feel like the later it gets, the more perfunctory your descriptions become.]
[Player Chiyo Eine, you have ten seconds left for your description. Please hurry.]
Chiyo Eine no longer paid him any mind. She slowly closed her eyes, began regulating her breathing, and started healing her injuries.
Being attacked for two nights in a row, she was truly the only one.
Just like that, she used up all her time and truly gave no description at all for that sentence!
......
"What do you think?"
This time, it was Xie Antong who took the initiative to speak, asking the Xue Zou beside her.
Xue Zou: ?
She was still somewhat immersed in her own thoughts and didn't expect this teammate to speak up proactively.
After pondering for a moment, she said:
"It's... somewhat reasonable. Judging from her perspective, it really does seem like a very logical explanation."
"Really?" Xie Antong neither agreed nor disagreed. "But, those words are built on one premise."
"That is, before the game started, the Troublemaker already knew it would be very easy for players to clear the game, and that it would be very difficult for them to prevent the clear."
"Why... is that?"
Xue Zou's expression didn't change in the slightest. She spoke almost without needing to think:
"That must be because, for the [Troublemaker], the game provided extra mission information. That's the only explanation."
"This kind of thing isn't hard to understand, right?"
Listening to Xue Zou's words, Xie Antong nodded but still didn't say anything.
......
While they were conversing, the game time outside continued. To put it simply, everyone was just watching "Sin" sleep.
What Chiyo Eine said wasn't wrong; it could even be called an accurate prediction.
Sloth was in the last speaking position, which should have been a very good spot, but he wasted it wantonly.
Under everyone's gaze, he showed no intention of waking up, no plan to describe the sentence, and not even the Arbitrator reminded him.
Beside him, Feng Wang frowned, raised her hand, placed it on his shoulder, and exerted a little force.
She wanted to wake him up.
Because according to her time calculation, the ten minutes were up!
He should be awake by now!
But the reality was, no matter how much force she used, the other party remained motionless, like a human-shaped rock, hard to an unimaginable degree.
It was unclear whether he was pretending to sleep to cause trouble or genuinely needed more sleep time because of his nighttime actions.
In short, he didn't wake up.
[Alright! Speaking time is over. Player "Sin" has refused to give a description.]
The Arbitrator directly announced the result. Then, light shone above everyone's heads.
[Alright, voting time has arrived. Everyone, based on today's game situation, choose the Troublemaker you suspect and mark them!]
Everyone's speaking function was unlocked, allowing free communication and arguments for the final choice.
Everyone chose to ignore "Sin." The mark would last for two rounds, and the current vote had nothing to do with him anyway.
Sun was the first to speak, immediately placing his vote on Tu Shan's head.
"I don't know what you all mean, but I just don't like this guy."
"You can vote however you want, you can even vote for me directly. But I'm voting for this guy called Tu Shan."
Even a clay figurine has a temper of its own. Several veins bulged on Tu Shan's forehead at that moment.
He didn't quite understand why this lunatic had been targeting him from the very beginning of the game.
Somewhat irritated, he spoke up:
"You're the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, right? Have I offended you in some way?"
"How the hell are you talking to me? Want to fight, huh?!" Sun instantly started cursing. Flames erupted all over his body, heavy armor materialized on his torso, transforming him into a three-meter-tall giant.
He lunged forward, directly jumping onto the table, actually intending to start a fight right here!
[Players are not allowed to fight during game phases. Please calm down, Player Sun!]
The Arbitrator's voice appeared very timely. A layer of light membrane enveloped Sun, pressing his entire body down, preventing him from fighting here.
Sun sat back down, cursing and grumbling. Over there, Tu Shan also had an ugly expression on his face as he completed his vote.
Dark Clown watched the tension in the room, the smile on his face gradually widening as he said:
"Heh, everyone, there's no need to be so angry."
"Today's vote is mainly focused among you three who had conflicting statements."
"So, would everyone like to do some last-minute vote solicitation or something?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the faces of Chiyo Eine, Sun, and Perfect Life.
Chiyo Eine snorted coldly, shook her head, and said:
"I don't care. No matter who votes for me, I'll definitely still be attacked anyway."
"Who you choose to believe is your own business."
Perfect Life, however, nodded and, looking at Dark Clown, said:
"You're right. Today's choice is among the three of us."
"Then let me say something."
"Everyone, vote for me this round."
Dark Clown: ?
Wait, that's not what I meant by vote solicitation!?
