Chapter 607: 607: Let's Analyze

Bai Youwei looked at them incredulously, “Are you serious… I thought players who could enter the preliminaries would have some understanding of the game and the props. Do you really think that the game system would give players a prop that can be used without any restrictions?”

Everyone exchanged glances.

Of course not.

The game system values fairness the most. The harder the game, the more powerful the rewards, and the more powerful the rewards, the more demanding the conditions to use them are!

Usually, use is limited by number of times, or time, or otherwise restricted to certain targets.

One way or another, players are never allowed to use props recklessly.

As for the so-called “Heavenly Punishment”, Bai Youwei was completely unfazed, saying clearly:

“If the prop in his hand really is that powerful, why would he need to wait until the voting stage? Since the Inspector can’t determine that he’s cheated, he could easily kill us all, then win the game with Yellow Eyes~

He didn’t do that – why not? Because his prop is limited, he couldn’t do it.”

A simple principle, understandable to everyone. It was only due to the horrifying scene of those giant black moths crawling out of people’s bodies that left such a strong impression in their minds! Fear affected their judgment!

One of the men frowned, saying gravely, “You’re not wrong, but… I still don’t want to take the risk. No one can be sure that the ‘Heavenly Punishment’ won’t befall them.”

After the man finished speaking, another two or three people with Red Eyes nodded in agreement.

For a moment, even the short-haired woman who was in the lead was hesitant.

Bai Youwei looked at them coldly.

This wasn’t cowardice, but a conservative choice after a comprehensive evaluation of the risk and reward – also known as conservatism.

Usually, once there’s one such person in the group, a second will appear, then a third… a fourth… eventually influencing the majority’s decision.

Bai Youwei sighed silently in her heart.

– Not having compatible companions in the game felt like a chef without a suitable knife, unable to make the best use of her abilities~

“I’ll brief you one last time.”

She carefully chose her words, before speaking again.

“The second round of voting was at 2 o’clock in the morning, Xu Fanghe was betrayed by Blackie, and then they didn’t see each other again. By the time the third round of voting came around, which was around 9:30 in the morning, Blackie was in trouble. From that, at least two pieces of information about the prop can be inferred.”

The short-haired woman was a bit confused, wasn’t this something everyone knew? How did it reveal two pieces of information?

The others also looked at Bai Youwei puzzled.

“What are the two pieces of information?”

Bai Youwei lowered her eyes, continuing, “Firstly, this prop can only afflict one person at a time.

Blackie and his white friend have always been the leaders of the Blue Eyes, yet Xu Fanghe only killed one of them, then eliminated the white man by voting. Did he suddenly have a change of heart? No, the most likely possibility is that his prop can only target one person at a time.

Therefore, there is no reason to worry too much. If Xu Fanghe is going to act today, his target will certainly be me—you all will be safe.”

After saying this, everyone’s faces visibly relaxed.

Indeed, as Bai Youwei had said, if Xu Fanghe’s prop is so powerful, he certainly wouldn’t use it carelessly. Even if he were to use it, he would target prominent leaders like Bai Youwei or the short-haired woman.

The short-haired woman asked Bai Youwei, “What’s the second piece of information?”

“Time,” Bai Youwei calmly replied, “Moths don’t just appear out of thin air. From egg to larva, then from pupa to moth, the entire process takes time. This also perfectly explains why Blackie wasn’t attacked until the next day.

Put simply, if Xu Fanghe wants me dead by the next round of voting, he needs to act against me now. This brings us to the third piece of information—

How did he attack Blackie?”
