Jiang Ran began to analyze the current situation.
If I wanted to vote for Arceus, Ji Cangshui would most likely side with me. Jiang Yaoyao, wanting to kill two birds with one stone, would definitely give all her votes to Arceus!
The vortex birdman doesn't know which team he wants to stand on yet, so let's assume he's on Arceus's side. The current ratio is 3:2, which means Jiang Ran can most likely vote Arceus out at this stage!
Jiang Ran looked up at Arceus, unable to discern his thoughts from his expression, but he noticed something extremely strange!
Jiang Ran was unable to view Arceus's innate skills!
Could it be that his divine power also grants immunity to other people's abilities? Or perhaps it's another possibility...
Just then, Arceus walked up to the ballot box again and smiled slightly at Jiang Ran: "Jiang Ran, you should have guessed it long ago, right?"
"None of us five will be eliminated in this round."
His words attracted everyone's attention. What did he mean by not having to eliminate anyone? Did he intend to create a draw like in the previous stage?
Who among them is an ordinary person, and who would be intimidated by him?
Arceus cast all his votes into the ballot box at once, then turned directly to the host and said, "I'm casting my vote for you, host!"
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and met the fierce gaze hidden behind the Aries mask!
"What do you think, Mr. Wolf in a Sheep Mask?"
The host angrily rushed forward and grabbed his collar: "Don't be so clever, kid. This is not allowed. Your vote is now invalid!"
"Really?" Arceus's gaze slowly shifted downwards. "Then why don't you stand on the stone platform again and repeat that sentence?"
Once the host steps down from the platform, his words will lose credibility!
The host released Arceus, but he didn't go back onto the stone platform; he simply stood silently to the side.
What he said on the stone platform must be correct. He had said at the beginning that "everyone present is a player," which naturally included him. Everyone was misled by the 29 wolves and one sheep and naturally assumed that there were only 30 players.
Little did they know that even without an identity, it didn't mean he wasn't a player!
Considering that the host only said "Everyone leave here and go to the forest" after stepping down from the stone platform, this statement itself was a lie, because he himself was a player and remained in the same place!
Seeing the host back down, Arceus opened his arms to the remaining four people: "Come on, let's eliminate this guy together, and then start the final showdown."
His gaze met Jiang Ran's.
"Why? Why should we help you?" Jiang Ran rested his chin on his hands, applying invisible pressure to Arceus. "Perhaps what you say is true, and the host is also our enemy, but don't forget—you are our enemy too!"
Am I right, Mr. Sheep?
Jiang Ran's [Wolf Prophet] can query the ability information of all players who are wolves. The reason why he cannot query Arthus is probably because he is one of the 1/30 "sheep"!
"Then let me say it again: the host is not an unsolvable problem for us, but for you, right?"
The rules used to state that if a sheep kills someone who is not a wolf, the sheep will be eliminated. Therefore, Arceus cannot eliminate the host directly and can only eliminate him through voting!
“That’s right, I am the ‘sheep’.”
To Jiang Ran's surprise, Arceus readily admitted his identity.
“Jiang Ran, if you were a smart person, you would definitely vote for the host,” he continued, “because at least I am still a ‘person’.”
"And he is not a 'human.' You must understand that although he cannot lie while standing on the stone platform, he can choose not to speak. He did not directly make a move in the first two stages, but honestly, based on the methods he used to kill those Red Flower Zeroers, if he were to enter the arena in the next round, who among us could defeat him?"
Jiang Ran turned her head to look at the big black dog, who shook his head: "That guy is very strong. If we really fought, even if I and this little girl next to you teamed up, we wouldn't be a match for him."
What is the win rate?
"Zero percent, and if you decide to take action against him, I won't help you; it's just suicide."
Indeed, the reason why Arceus dared to put this matter out in the open was because he was certain that everyone would prioritize dealing with the person who posed the greater threat. In terms of threat, probably no one present could compare to the host!
None of the people who have survived to this day are fools.
“Host,” Ji Cangshui interjected at the opportune moment, “if you can stand on the stone platform now to indicate that you will not participate in the next stage, we will put our vote in front of Arceus. Don’t play any word games with me, I’m not stupid.”
The host did not respond.
"Then the situation should be quite clear now." Arceus smiled slightly. "Gentlemen, let's cast our votes."
Although Jiang Ran really wanted to deal with Arceus here, he had to admit that the host was a bigger threat. This was a shrewd move, and he had no choice but to side with the host!
"I'm voting for Arceus!"
The crowd searched for the source of the audio, only to discover that it was the host!
This guy has been secretly collecting votes from the dead ghost story masters. I'm afraid that if the five of them don't team up, they won't even be able to beat him in the votes!
"I want to vote for the host!"
Jiang Ran no longer hesitated and walked to the ballot box to cast his vote!
With him taking the lead, Ji Cangshui and the Whirlpool Birdman nodded and contributed their votes.
After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Yaoyao followed suit.
As mentioned before, there wasn't a single fool present.
The vote count has reached 123:136!
That's right, even with all five of them working together, they were still more than ten votes short!
Arceus frowned. He had considered the possibility of the five of them working together, but he hadn't expected that even a five-person team wouldn't be able to get the host's vote out!
He miscalculated; he should have taken the initiative in the previous round! But that would have put him at a disadvantage as well!
"Do any of you still have your ballots to cast? There's no next voting round, so keeping them is pointless!"
Everyone shook their heads, except for the vortex birdman who revealed a smile.
"This is when the power of bonds truly shines!"
He shouted into the forest, and the next moment, dozens of strange creatures rushed out, each holding all the remaining ballots in the forest!
