Xiao Cheng did not continue speaking.

Fang He raised an eyebrow with interest: "What did you discuss with her behind my back?"

"To confirm a hypothesis, if it succeeds... this is what I mean by a truly extraordinary idea." Xiao Cheng's eyes shone brightly.

"More than one person will survive, believe me, Fang He."

"This so-called trial will not allow more than one person to survive."

From afternoon to evening, nothing happened; the silence was eerily calm. Almost to everyone's surprise, the wolf didn't make a move, and in the end, everyone stayed in their rooms, no one venturing out.

At 11:30 p.m., a sharp, piercing ringtone sounded over the loudspeaker, urging everyone to gather in the lobby downstairs.

Xiao Cheng had just taken a light nap and was feeling refreshed. When he opened the door, he ran into the two brothers and greeted them warmly and friendly.

"Ah, they're all still alive, that's great."

Number Three: "..." That was a nice greeting. Don't say anything next time.

In the lobby on the first floor, seven people were either standing or sitting, each with a different expression.

Number One had just taken medication, and the bloodshot eyes hadn't gone down yet. Number Two held the medicine bottle in his hand, looking at her with great concern.

The mute girl remained huddled alone in the corner. Hearing Xiao Cheng approach, she calmly raised her eyes to meet her gaze.

Xiao Cheng tacitly averted her gaze and walked straight towards Fang He, casually reaching out to pat him on the shoulder.

The two brothers stood very close together. Number Four was staring blankly into space, while Number Three was thoughtfully staring at the almost forgotten teddy bear on the ground.

Time ticked by, but the electronic display screen still showed only those three sentences.

It wasn't until Number Two broke the silence that he spoke first: "The wolf didn't kill anyone."

"According to the rules, he violated them."

Everyone knows the consequences of breaking the rules. Whether this wolf is unwilling to cross the line or is truly unable to take action, there is only one outcome awaiting him.

"Then...do we still need to vote?" Number Three asked in a low voice, clinging to a sliver of hope.
