Chapter 595: 595: Yellow Eyes becomes severe (Added more for this quite dumb~)

Is this damn thing broken?

Bai Youwei knocked mildly annoyed on the screen, causing a knocking sound.

When pressing the number 9 key, a prompt pops up:

[Confirm Vote? ——9]

Bai Youwei stared at the line of text, slowly realizing…

The other numbers are not selectable, very likely because the vote count for 1 and 9 is equal now. To avoid a tied ranking situation in the case of only one vote left, players have to choose from these two numbers.

Bai Youwei thought for a while.

Earlier, Xu Fanghe presented nineteen numbers for them to eliminate. Among these numbers, 9 was not included, but 1 was, suggesting a high probability that the Yellow Eyes player is number 9.

So, should she pick 9 now?

After weighing her options, Bai Youwei eventually chose to press the number 1 key and confirmed her selection.

She didn’t want a vast difference in numbers between the Red, Yellow, and Blue-eyed players. Gradual attrition is what could force the X guest to reveal themselves…

As Bai Youwei stepped out of the voting hut, everyone outside turned to look at her.

The last person has cast their vote. This signified that the voting results were about to be announced.

The stone ball on the roof rotated once, with the child’s voice ringing out clear and bright, exuding an enthusiastic joy—

“We are now announcing the elimination numbers and vote counts for the first round!”

“Number 1, four votes.”

“Number 8, six votes.”

“Number 18, four votes.”

“Number 19, five votes.”

“Number 27, six votes.”

As the Inspector called out the numbers, figures on the field vanished one after another.

Two individuals had disappeared from both the Red Eyes and the Blue Eyes teams, while the Yellow Eyes team had lost just one.

The team numbers were as follows:

Red Eyes: 10 (including 1 Blue Eye),

Yellow Eyes: 8 (including 1 Red Eye),

Blue Eyes: 7.

The Red Eyes still held a slight advantage in terms of numbers.

The crowd hummed with speculation:

“The votes were very concentrated…”

“Those people might not have hidden their numbers properly, they got seen by others…”

“If your number is seen, of course you’re likely to be targeted. It seems that at least two teams had vote overlap, that’s why the votes are comparatively concentrated.”

“The next round probably won’t be the same as this, right? The numbers that were seen were basically all eliminated this round…”

“…”

The stone ball announced cheerfully: “The first round of voting has ended! Everyone can go back to their rooms to rest now. The second round of voting will take place in 8 hours! Don’t oversleep~”

Bai Youwei scoffed inwardly.

In a place like this, how could anyone possibly oversleep? Not being able to sleep would be the real deal.

The twenty-five people scattered.

People didn’t return to their rooms, instead, they all spontaneously gathered at their leader’s residence to discuss the strategy for the next round of voting.

The Yellow Eyes team was no exception.

The atmosphere was tense, as their situation was the most severe.

By the correct color count, the Yellow Eyes team only had seven people. They were the smallest team of the three!

“It seems that… we have to form an alliance with the Blue Eyes team…” Dr. Xu Fanghe looked around at everyone, analyzing carefully, “Their situation isn’t optimistic either, so they shouldn’t reject us. Only by forming an alliance with them can our vote exceed the Red Eyes.”

Everyone exchanged glances, all remained silent.

The game has a total of five rounds of voting, leaving the last 5 people with the same color to pass. Yet, they were only in the first round and their numbers had been dwindled down to 7. There are still 4 more rounds of voting… If their number decreases in the next round, they might actually lose.

“Everyone, relax.” Xu Fanghe’s smile remained gentle, reassuring everyone, “Trust me, in the second round, not a single Yellow Eye will be eliminated.”
