Chapter 619: 619: The Biggest Winner

The man in glasses laughed wildly.

Ya Chaohui was furious. He forced himself to rise, intending to teach the man a lesson.

The short-haired woman blocked his path, saying, “Violence is forbidden in the game. If you want to beat him up, wait until the game is settled!”

Ya Chaohui’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the man in glasses.

The man in glasses, however, didn’t care. He laughed loudly as he stepped out of the voting booth, insolently urging the Inspector, “Hurry up and announce the results! Let these stupid ones disappear and give their tools and puzzles to me! All of them belong to me!”

Ya Chaohui felt even more furious, his teeth gritted, “So you are the traitor! You used us!”

“Isn’t using you guys pretty standard?” The man in glasses didn’t stop laughing, “What do you think this place is? It’s a game of puppets! Did you think it’s a mutual aid society?! If I don’t use you, how can I win the game?! Ah, and that dumb doctor, what a laugh thinking he’d save the world hahaha…”

“If you call him a fool, don’t you see that you are one too?” Bai Youwei rolled her wheelchair forward slowly, her tone ice-cold, “If you weren’t, why would you follow his every word and suck up to him? You two are cut from the same cloth.”

Hearing this, the man in glasses turned to Bai Youwei, adjusted his glasses and sneered, “You might not understand if I tell you. I was treating him, got it?”

Bai Youwei narrowed her eyes, “Oh… treating him?”

“Exactly, curing the doctor’s ailment.”

The man in glasses smirked arrogantly.

“He likes to play the doctor, so I pretended to be a patient. He enjoys controlling people, so I pretended to be under his control. Whatever he wanted his patients to turn into, I would pretend to become. Blindly following, mindlessly trusting, unduly flattering – that’s what he wants to see! I satisfied all his psychological needs and in turn, he gave me everything I desired! Just like a doctor pays more care for his patient, the more dependent the patient becomes on the doctor, and the more dependent the patients are, the more obligated the doctor becomes towards them! Do you see? He naturally looks after me! Protects me! Because—I am his precious patient!”

“Hahaha, you bunch of fools! Do you understand now? Human relationships are about reciprocal influence and interaction! While a doctor can control his patients, patients can also control their doctors! I am the puppeteer of this game, I am the grand winner!”

Bai Youwei looked at him with cold indifferent eyes, her voice flat, “Given that emotional relationships are about mutual influence and interaction, won’t patients find it hard to survive once they’ve lost their doctors…”

“Are you joking? I’ve already won!” The man in glasses laughed arrogantly, “I’ve won! Hurry up and announce the voting results!”

Bai Youwei closed her eyes, not saying another word.

The Inspector glanced at Bai Youwei, the man in glasses, and the others, then finally announced:

“Now I’ll announce the numbers and votes from the fifth elimination round!”

“Number 6, 1 vote.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Number 7, 1 vote.”

“Number 14, 2 votes.”

“Number 24, 2 votes.”

“Number 29, 2 votes.”

The man in glasses looked stunned, questioning whether he had heard wrong, “How… how could this be? Where is number 11? Why isn’t number 11 here! Didn’t he press number 11 earlier?!”

After a moment of silence, the ball said, “He did press it.”

“Then why isn’t it there?! Number 11 should at least have 1 vote! And what about you all! What happened? Why didn’t you vote as I instructed you?!”

The man in glasses was thrown into confusion, scanning each face of the participants, “Who voted for number 29?! Who?!!”

Bai Youwei looked at him calmly, “Well, of course… that’s what I told them to do.”
