[Time for the first round of group discussion is here. Players, please discuss and vote on the Ghost race based on the clues.]
Su Deng had just strolled around the village twice with her props when she heard the World Broadcast.
After the announcement, everyone was teleported directly into a large hall.
The environment is magnificent, with gold carvings and jade decorations, and three very thick pillars arranged in a triangle.
The pillar on the left is resplendent in gold, and the carved patterns exude divine power.
The pillar on the right is entirely gold and black, with various ghost faces floating in the black mist.
The middle one is carved with a few ordinary people.
It represents gods, ghosts, and humans.
In the center is a triangular table with fifteen chairs.
At this moment, all fifteen players were standing in front of the chairs, with two black cards on the table in front of each of them.
It was only when they gathered here that Su Deng realized that Yina and Lutai were both there.
The name above Lu Tai's head was still blood-red, and his gaze swept over her indifferently, as if he didn't recognize her.
Ina sat opposite her, winked at her, and silently mouthed, "Didn't expect to be alive, did you?"
Su Deng raised an eyebrow. "Then I can kill you again."
Before Ina could say anything more, the game system's voice rang out.
[Fifteen players are requested to deduce the identity of the Oni player based on the clues gathered in the first round. A vote will be held in fifteen minutes.]
[Note: Each round of voting can involve more than one player, and the two players with the most votes will be eliminated.]
If both are of the Oni race, they will be eliminated by the game rules.
If none of them are of the Oni race, the one with the highest number of votes will be eliminated.
If all the Ghosts are voted out before the end of the final round, the Gods and Humans will win if they each have one survivor.
If the Oni race remains unscathed before the end of the final round, the Oni race wins, and all other players are eliminated.
In the voting phase following each round of self-verification discussion, players can abstain from voting, but at least one player must vote for each player in each round. If all players abstain and no player is voted out, one player will be randomly eliminated.
The system's voice, ringing out from above, made the players' expressions darken with each word it uttered.
The first round is meant to familiarize oneself with the material and verify one's identity.
The village dislikes outsiders; anyone who forcibly enters a house to search or steal will be punished according to the game rules.
They have to put in a lot of effort to help the villagers with their work, solve their problems, and make them happy.
Some people, even after being appeased, didn't actually receive the quest items.
Su Deng's performance attracted a crowd and wasted some time. By the time they came to their senses and wanted to imitate Su Deng's method to complete the task, the system issued a new rule prohibiting it!
At least half of them haven't verified their identities, let alone provided any other evidence.
Some have already agreed not to vote in the first round.
As a result, the rules of the game directly dashed their hopes.
There wasn't enough room for everyone to sit down. They looked at each other and immediately started observing each other's expressions, trying to glean something from their faces.
In short, the rules of this game are that someone has to be thrown out every round, and someone has to die every round!
Of the fifteen players, only one is a Ghost.
However, only one player from the Ghost Clan knew about this.
The rules not only offered no hints, but the rule allowing multiple people to cast their words also made players believe that the Oni race was definitely not a single person...
Unfortunately, this ghost was Su Deng.
Fourteen gods and humans—the odds of getting them should be pretty high no matter what, but she just happened to target the demon race first…
Is it a coincidence?
no.
It is the main body of God.
Su Deng squinted, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts.
One person against fourteen.
If she wins, all fourteen people present will die, and their real world before entering the game will collapse.
If she loses, all these people and their world can live.
She won't die; even if she's thrown out and eliminated, she won't die.
Therefore, winning or losing probably has no impact on her; it's simply a choice between sacrificing herself to save others or watching so many people and the world die and be destroyed...
This wasn't a game for a group of people; it was just her alone.
Because the lives and deaths of these people were entirely in her hands.
Su Deng sat on the chair opposite the Ghost Clan pillar, his gaze sweeping over the fourteen players around the triangular table, his eyes dark.
Based on these people's perception of her, they probably wouldn't care what race she was, as long as they could die, they would all flock to her first.
Please take your seats and turn over the cards in front of you.
The system begins to advance the game.
Even after everyone sat down, their eyes were still scanning the faces of other players, even when they were completely hiding their faces while flipping cards.
Su Deng, expressionless, casually flipped over the cards.
One card is blank.
One of the cards has the number 12 written on it.
[We will now begin the discussion. You have two minutes.]
After a ten-second silence, people in the hall began to speak.
"Black Whale, did you find the Magic Mirror in the first round...?"
"What does the magic mirror look like?"
Has anyone found the skill item?
Who got the item?
"I am a human!"
"..."
The noise and confusion all stemmed from a dialectic devoid of concrete evidence.
Su Deng leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs.
Chenchen was sitting to her left, one seat away.
Chenchen kept looking at her, thinking about what she had said not long ago. The more she thought about it, the more complicated her feelings became, and finally her gaze turned mournful.
Su Deng had no intention of participating in the discussion or proving her identity. She sensed Chenchen's gaze but acted as if she hadn't seen it. She took out the jade pendant that the headmistress had put on her when she was found.
