Chapter 615: 615: Manipulating (Additional update for no progress)

Bai Youwei mused on the interesting choice of words the short-haired woman used. “You mentioned manipulation…”

“Isn’t that the truth?” The short-haired woman shrugged helplessly. “Those Yellow Eyes, utterly controlled. It’s unbelievable. This is the preliminary round, yet so many clueless people have appeared.”

After saying this, she continued thoughtfully: “But, I once heard a concept that humans have an innate nature to role-play. For instance, when dealing with a doctor, one might unconsciously put themselves in the position of the patient—the inherently weak and dependent role—hardly rejecting the doctor’s requirements.”

Bai Youwei said indifferently: “In this world, everyone is naturally playing various roles. In fact, some can only be that role. Few can be their true selves.”

The short-haired woman nodded with a sigh, “Yes, for someone to be their true self is truly a blessing…”

Seeming to have fallen into her own thoughts, she paused for a moment before abruptly ending the conversation-

“It’s getting late, time to go back and rest.”

The short-haired woman gently patted Bai Youwei’s shoulder, and teased:

“You’ll have to crawl out of bed for the vote in the middle of the night, don’t oversleep.”

Bai Youwei asked, “Have you decided who you’re voting for?”

The short-haired woman was taken aback. “Have you decided?”

“Mhmm.” Bai Youwei nodded.

The short-haired woman’s eyes widened in surprise, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner!”

“It just came to me.” She said lightly, pulling out the short-haired woman’s hand and writing a number in her palm…

…

Two in the morning.

It was voting time again.

The nine of them gathered in the plaza, Bai Youwei still the first to arrive.

When the others saw her standing at the door of the voting booth, they showed disdain, thinking Bai Youwei was underhanded.

Her bunny was completely blocking her number, making it impossible for them to vote even if they wanted to!

The most annoying part was that the Inspector didn’t even bother to stop this blatant cheating!

If they can’t eliminate the X guest, they lose regardless; they might as well vote randomly!

Almost everyone had this kind of thinking.

After Bai Youwei left, the short-haired woman was the second to vote.

Then it was the turn of the white-skinned man with Red Eyes.

Followed by the man in the suit with the number 14.

When it was Ya Chaohui’s turn, the man in glasses asked him to wait. “Wait a moment…I, I have something to say to both of you.”

Ya Chaohui and Fang Yu looked at each other, both puzzled.

The two followed the man in glasses aside and asked, “What’s up?”

The man in glasses fumbled with the frames, stammering, “Well…I was thinking… as everyone already knows, the X guest… is the woman in the wheelchair. If we just eliminate her, the rest of us can win this game…”

Ya Chaohui shook his head. “That’s impossible, we can’t even touch her number.”

Fang Yu frowned, “Tell us your plan. You wouldn’t have asked us over if you hadn’t found a way, right?”

Ya Chaohui looked at Fang Yu, “Let it go, Fang Yu, if she wants to win, let her win…”

“I want to win.” Fang Yu said.

Ya Chaohui was taken aback, “You…what are you saying? She and Officer Shen…”

“I want to win.”

Fang Yu repeated.

He remained stern, with a determined look: “The world is already like this, where is there room for any officer? All this time, did he help us? Did he look for us? Did he save us?! Chaohui, I want to save everyone! The teammates who died in the game! I want to save them! Only by becoming the King can I achieve this, do you understand?!”

Ya Chaohui looked at Fang Yu blankly and said nothing.

Fang Yu didn’t pay him any more attention, instead continuing to question the man in glasses, “Tell me, what’s your method?”

The man in glasses grinned pleasingly, pulling out a white porcelain cup from his pocket, “It’s simple… Block your hand with an insulator, swiftly brush off the rabbit and press number 11 as fast as possible…”
