After she finished speaking, the tense atmosphere slightly eased.

Indeed, as long as you describe clearly in this round, you can clear all suspicions. Getting angry now wouldn’t help at all.

Bai Youwei said, “In any case, I hope everyone pays close attention to Number 6 and Number 9’s statements later. Of course, I’ll also pay close attention to what everyone else has to say. As for who the Ghost is, I believe we will have a verdict soon.”

Sparks quickly flashed in the eyes of Number 6 and Number 9.

The corners of Bai Youwei’s mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a hint of triumph — she easily threw the contradiction directed towards her back at Number 6 and Number 9, causing them to suspect each other.

This was mainly because there were not many astute people among those chosen by Uncle Zhao; hence, she could get her way this easily.

“Alright, I’m about to start describing…” Bai Youwei paused for two seconds, then said, “This thing, it’s small.”

Whether it was chewing gum or bubble gum, neither was large in size.

She was confident that this description would not cause any problems.

The Inspector said, “Number 4, please describe your phrase.”

Shen MO thought for a moment and said, “Its packaging is small, but its actual size will change.”

Bai Youwei smiled inwardly.

Of course the size of bubble gum would change once it’s blown up.

Yes, perfect-

It was now Number 6’s turn.

Because Bai Youwei had singled him out, he was particularly nervous at the moment, his face as pale as a sheet and covered with sweat.

“This object… this object…” He stammered, unable to speak coherently. The Inspector voiced a reminder, “Number 6, please describe your phrase.”

The Inspector’s voice startled Number 6, causing him to sweat even more. Since his youth, he had been reliant on others and never had a proper job even in his thirties. After the doll invasion, he ended up on Sanshan Island, living aimlessly. When Uncle Zhao chose him to go to the safe base, he was quite pleased at first, he never expected to be forced into the game.

Fearing that the Inspector would implement some sort of compulsory measure if he continued to procrastinate, Number 6 stuttered, “This object… it’s soft.”

Number 7 was Wu Lili, who immediately retorted, “Number 4 said earlier that it was elastic, and I said it was a bit sticky, so of course it’s soft! Your description is no different from not speaking at all! You’re definitely the Ghost!”

Number 6’s face turned beet red as he quickly shouted, “I’m not!”

“You are the most suspicious!” Wu Lili huffed, adding, “My description is that it’s damp.”

Number 8 said, “It’s not too damp… it’s dry when it’s in its packaging.”

Number 9 agreed, “I concur with Number 8’s description and shall add a point. There are commercials of it on TV.’

The Inspector gazed at them with a smile, “After two rounds of description, I suppose everyone has a clearer judgement. Now, please vote for who you suspect—I’

Almost everyone voted for Number 6.

Number 6, panic-stricken, did not vote at all.

Shen MO voted for Number 1.

As Bai Youwei found it strange, she witnessed Number 1 and Number 6 disappearing before her eyes. Simultaneously, the Inspector’s voice rang out:

“The third round of descriptions now begins.”

Bai Youwei’s mind worked quickly, understanding the situation.

Shen MO was trying to decrease the number of opponents.

Since each round eliminates two people, it’s not necessary to focus all the votes on one person! …But this strategy could easily make him a target for Number I’s teammate in the next round.

Now there were five people left in the field, excluding her and Shen MO, they were Numbers 7, 8, and 9.

Numbers 8 and 9 seemed to be on the same team, while Number 7 might be on Shen Mo’s side. Now, she had to win Number 7’s trust and form an alliance, which meant they could secure a win with a 3-against-2 advantage.

However…

She really didn’t like Number 7.

“Number 3, please describe your phrase,” the Inspector reminded.

Bai Youwei furrowed her brow.

This round was crucial.

Numbers 8 and 9 had already teamed up. If she couldn’t win Number 7’s vote in this round of statements, she was likely to be voted out.

She thought for a moment, then said, “I now know who my friend is..”
