Chapter 606: 606: Guess the Number

The short-haired woman blurted out, “What method?”

Bai Youwei pondered for a moment, then gave a light smile, “I think I better talk to them again. If I use that method…it would be quite embarrassing.”

Short-haired woman: “…”

She had thought herself clever enough, but after entering the game, she still felt overwhelmed. It was as if everyone else was driving a sports car, while she was only riding a small motorbike.

It was then that Bai Youwei said: “Blue Eyes is now leaderless and poses no threat. In the next voting round, Yellow Eyes will most certainly go all out against us. There are five slots to be eliminated every time, no matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to occupy all five. In other words, at least two or three of us in this group will be eliminated.”

The short-haired woman’s expression grew grave, “That means we won’t be able to fulfill the final condition of having the same eye color among the five survivors unless we can identify the X guest.”

Bai Youwei gently shook her head: “The clear conditions may seem to allow an either-or choice, but in reality there’s only one — eliminate the X guest. If we cannot eliminate the X Guest, it wouldn’t matter how many of us are left in the end. There’s no way we could have uniform eye color because the X guest’s eye color is fake.”

“Could the Doctor be the X Guest?” the short-haired woman asked, “Last time you said that Xu Fanghe’s number was either 28 or 29. As number 28 was eliminated in the third round, should we vote number 29 next round? How certain are you?”

Bai Youwei furrowed her brows. She was originally 80 percent sure, but reflecting on Xu Fanghe’s reaction just now, something didn’t feel quite right.

The reason she guessed Xu Fanghe’s number to be 29 was that he avoided numbers 28, 29, and 30 in both his numerical sections, and since 28 was already eliminated and 30 belonged to Red Eyes, only 29 was left. Only 29, really?

Did she miss something?

The number selection Xu Fanghe provided the first time:

1-5, 10-18, 24-27.

The number selection Xu Fanghe provided the second time:

3-7, 10-17, 21-25.

Both sections lacked 8, 9, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30.

Of these, 8, 19, and 28 had already been eliminated, 30 was Red Eyes, so Xu Fanghe’s number must be among 9, 20, 29.

No matter how you look at it, number 29 is highly suspected.

When the mob boss let Xu Fanghe pick from numbers, Xu Fanghe, without consulting anyone, crossed out 29 and 30.

Crossing out 30 was to spread smoke – what about crossing out 29?

He clearly had a strong desire to protect this number!

…Of course, if she looked back at all those chaotic numbers, 9 and 20 also seemed suspicious.

“Just to be safe, let’s have each of us giving two votes for numbers 9, 20, and 29,” Bai Youwei suggested.

The short-haired woman’s expression darkened as she glanced at her comrades unconsciously.

The previous round of voting, these so-called ‘comrades’ hadn’t voted according to the plan.

One of them raised his hand, confessing, “Although I also want to win, my life is more important. I don’t want to deal with the ‘Heavenly Punishment’. So, during the voting round, if the doctor is still threatening us, I may not vote according to your xplan, sorry.”

Another person also raised his hand, “Same here.”

The others followed suit, declaring they wouldn’t vote according to Bai Youwei’s request.

The short-haired woman’s expression grew even darker.

They were said to be comrades, but were merely strangers who gathered together due to the same eye color. Between them, there was neither understanding nor basic trust to speak of.

How could they ever win the game like this?
