Chapter 611: Blind Investment

Bai Youwei emerged from the voting booth.

Her wheelchair was parked outside the booth, and she seemed to suddenly remember something, letting out a high-pitched “Oh my!”

All thirteen people outside stared at her, puzzled.

“Oh no! I think I’ve forgotten something!” She brought a finger to her chin, pretending to be deep in thought, “What was it… Ah! I remember now, I left my prop inside!”

Everyone else: “…”

Bai Youwei gave everyone a slight smile: “But to prevent delaying everyone’s voting time, I won’t go in and retrieve it. No need for anyone to fetch it for me either. My prop is a bit special. If anyone else touches it, it’ll trigger a Thunderstorm Electroshock. Sorry for the inconvenience~”

Everyone else once again: “……”

Xu Fanghe kept his face serious, silent, seemingly considering whether Bai Youwei’s words were true or false.

The Inspector on the roof curiously peered out halfway from the sphere, asking Bai Youwei, “Did you really leave your prop inside?”

“Yes~” Bai Youwei tilted her head and smiled, “I accidentally left my prop inside. That doesn’t violate the game rules, does it? Even if someone gets half roasted from setting off the prop effects, it has nothing to do with me, does it? After all, I did warn them~”

Sphere lowered its voice: “All forms of violence are prohibited in this game…”

“I didn’t do anything.” Bai Youwei spread her hands, “I’m not capable of doing much damage, anyway~”

Sphere: “…”

Sigh…

Another one…

This was supposed to be a mystery game involving intelligence, but these players turned it into a violent mess. Sigh, how frustrating.

The sphere rolled back.

In the crowd, Xu Fanghe asked, “I’m curious, would there be a prop in the game that disrupts the balance like this?”

As soon as he opened his mouth, others looked skeptical too, as if Bai Youwei was just bluffing.

“Compared to props that can incubate moths inside someone’s body, mine is far less potent~” Bai Youwei humbly said, “Moreover, using it has many restrictions. Although it can roast someone to perfection in one shot, it’s very inconvenient if the battery runs out. It’s so hard to find a place to recharge these days~”

Dr. Xu Fanghe cracked a smile, “So… your prop may not have enough battery left, is that it?”

Bai Youwei tilted her head to size him up, her lips curved in a smile, “You can try it if you want. If you’re worried about the risk, you can always ask someone else to– you’ve got so many followers after all. Losing one or two shouldn’t matter, should it, Dr. Xu Fanghe?”

Xu Fanghe didn’t say anything.

No one else said anything either.

As Bai Youwei rolled her wheelchair, she spoke in a relaxed manner, “The game only requires us to vote. It doesn’t ask us to put our lives on the line. So why must we attempt to outdo each other? Confrontation only leads to tragedy and regret. I’m saying all this for everyone’s welfare…”

Xu Fanghe’s expression grew increasingly grim.

It was pure mockery. Those words were exactly what he had said during the last round of voting.

Bai Youwei returned to Red Eyes’ group.

Those who needed to vote, no matter how they felt, had to go cast their votes.

Everyone who came out after voting cast a complicated glance at Bai Youwei.

The bespectacled man kept asking: “Did anyone vote for number 11? Did you? Did anyone vote for number 11?”

“No… I couldn’t vote for number 11, so I randomly voted for number 16.”

“Damn! I’m number 16! What the hell were you thinking?!”

“Well, did you vote for number 11 then? How the hell else was I supposed to vote?!”

“I voted for number 13! Didn’t the Doctor say that the X guest’s number is between 10-14…”

…

The voting… It was a total mess.
