“And my cherry tomatoes!”
"Travelers, try Terry's freshly picked oranges. They are very sweet!"
The shy girl placed a pile of fruits in front of Edward, who looked the most handsome among the group, and left with a loving look in her eyes.
Several dark-skinned young men scratched their heads, blushed, and squinted their eyes at the beautiful female players.
The seemingly well-behaved and sensible child tiptoed to give the fruit to the silent Lu Shu, calling him "big brother" all the time.
Su Mingan was still looking at the system panel when he suddenly saw a stack of the most abundant fruit plates placed in front of him. He raised his eyes and saw the mayor, who was smiling friendly, personally taking the freshest fruits from other people and placing them in front of him.
Several other players looked suspicious when they saw his special treatment.
"Dear Traveler No. 1, when the meeting is over, you can come to my house. I have some stories to tell you." The mayor said with a smile.
The bonus to favorability is too obvious.
Everyone here is a big shot who has worked their way out of various underworld dungeons. Which one of them is not wary?
No matter how simple and kind these townspeople looked, they did not move. Only Mizushima Kawaharu ate a small tomato nonchalantly.
"Everyone is a traveler from afar. Could you please introduce yourselves first? After that, I will tell you the specific rules of action in the town..." The mayor looked at the twelve players sitting at the long table, his eyes fixed on No. 1 Su Mingan, revealing a hint of friendliness:
"Let's start with Traveler No. 12, in reverse order."
Several people were stunned at the same time. Logically, number one should have spoken first, but the mayor seemed to be deliberately partial and let number 12 speak first.
"Then I'll go first?" The girl who looked almost identical to Sora Mizushima waved her hands with a smile: "I'm No. 12 Mizushima Kawaharu, the best wife of the flight attendant and Sora's perfect lover."
After hearing her words, several people did not look down on Mizushima Kawaharu.
They had learned about Mizushima Kawaharu's information. She was not as simple as she seemed, but a very smart and vicious person. In the White City dungeon, she dissected Noeliya herself, and used Noeliya's detached uterus as a price to trick the anxious Bai Xiong, and finally ruthlessly stabbed him in the back.
Compared to the calm and steady Mizushima Kawahara, Mizushima Kawaharu is a more unscrupulous and evil person who completely disregards justice.
"Is it my turn?" Number 11, Lin Jiang, shrank her body, her thick bangs almost covering half of her face. Her rustic clothes and extremely inferior temperament made her look like an outsider among the twelve people.
"I, I'm number 11, Lin Jiang..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly cried out "Ah".
At the same time, the barrage of comments also exploded:
[Fuck, what is that!]
[The underworld is dead, the underworld is dead, my god, why am I watching this in broad daylight!]
[Sure enough, this town is not some mortal town. If there is no weird stuff, I dare not do a copy!]
The twelve people simultaneously turned their eyes towards the edge of the square and saw several burly townspeople who were carrying a bloody, corpse-like "person" walking towards the edge of the square. The person did not seem to be dead yet, and although even his skin was almost invisible, he could still make faint groans.
"Exile him! Exile this bastard--!"
The townspeople, who were originally friendly, looked like they had changed their appearance at this moment, with fanatical flames burning in their eyes. The men and women formed a long queue, marching towards the long pole in the center like a parade.
They looked at the bloody man with extremely hateful eyes, as if they were still not satisfied with his miserable state and were determined to cut him into pieces.
"What are you doing?" Noel asked.
"Ah, did I scare you? Sorry, travelers." Facing this terrifying parade-like scene, the old mayor actually smiled kindly: "I believe your night guide has also told you that Trili is a cursed town... Some of us have been transformed into monsters. They are no different from ordinary townspeople during the day, but they will start to act at night and choose a town family to kill... So, every daytime, we will hold a rally in the square to push out the person everyone thinks is the most suspicious and hang that person..."
"But what reasons did you use to identify the most suspicious person?" Andre asked, "I remember that we were not allowed to go out at night. How did you find out who the attacker was?"
"So, this creates a dilemma." The mayor sighed softly: "Because of the curse, we can't go out at night to observe who the alienated monster is. Therefore, we can only guess based on our intuition..."
Adolf slapped the table and stood up. This player who was born as a mercenary still had a sense of justice that was inconsistent with his profession: "If I just hang people based on my intuition, then many of the townspeople are innocent, right?"
"We have no other options..." The mayor tapped the ground with his cane, a look of helplessness flashing across his wrinkled face. "But at least it seems to be effective. At least the townspeople's panic has been reduced a lot."
The players looked towards the square.
The townspeople, who were held high like a blood-red flag, whimpered faintly, while the fanatical townspeople cheered loudly as if they had found a beacon, as if after hanging this man, they could return to a peaceful life.
"Hang him, hang him!"
After the man was hung on the gallows, a woman volunteered to kick away the stool.
“Swish!”
"Ahh——" Lin Jiang was shaking with fear. She buried her head completely between her hands, not daring to raise her head.
Aini and the others frowned.
Su Mingan raised his eyelids.
The bloody town resident was hung up, and the noose suddenly pulled his neck, breaking his cervical vertebrae. He tilted his head, his whole body was paralyzed, but he was still dangling at the end of the rope, struggling unconsciously, like a dying animal.
And at the moment he was hung up, the townspeople cheered loudly. The fanatical emotion burned in the entire square. People raised their hands, cheered, and hugged each other, as if they were performing some great ceremony.
Judgment of the minority by the majority.
——As if they had obtained "justice" because of this.

"Okay, travelers from the outside world. Sorry to interrupt you." The mayor's faint voice called back their attention. His cloudy eyes stared at the mahogany table and he spoke in a low voice:
"…Now, you can go ahead and introduce yourselves."
