Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Her words slightly eased the tense atmosphere. Indeed, as long as they described their words well in this round, they could clear their suspicions. Getting angry now was pointless.

Bai Youwei said, "In short, I hope everyone pays close attention to the statements of Number 6 and Number 9 later. Of course, I will also pay close attention to everyone else's statements. We'll soon determine which one is the ghost."

Sparks practically flew between Number 6 and Number 9.

The corners of Bai Youwei's mouth curled up slightly in satisfaction. She had easily deflected the conflict that Number 6 and Number 9 had directed at her back onto them, making them suspect each other. This worked mainly because few of the people Zhao Shu had chosen were particularly astute.

"Alright, now I will begin my description…" Bai Youwei paused for two seconds and said, "This thing is small."

Whether it was chewing gum or bubble gum, neither was large.

She was certain this description wouldn't cause any problems.

The Overseer: "Number 4, please describe your word."

Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "The packaging is small, but the actual size can change."

Bai Youwei smiled inwardly.

—The size of bubble gum, of course, changes when it's blown up.

Yes, perfect.

Next was Number 6's turn.

Because Bai Youwei had singled him out, he was exceptionally nervous, his face pale and his forehead covered in sweat.

"This thing… this thing…" he stammered, unable to speak.

The Overseer prompted, "Number 6, please describe your word."

The Overseer's voice startled Number 6, and he sweated even more. He had been a freeloader his whole life, living off his parents well into his thirties without a proper job. After the doll invasion, he went to Sanshan Island and continued his idle life. He had been quite happy to be chosen by Zhao Shu to go to the safe base, but he hadn't expected to be forced into this game.

Fearing the Overseer might resort to some coercive measure if he delayed any longer, Number 6 stammered, "This thing… is soft."

Number 7, Wu Lili, immediately retorted, "In the last round, Number 4 said it was elastic, and I said it was a little sticky. Of course, it's soft! You're stating the obvious! You must be the ghost!"

Number 6's face flushed crimson. "I'm not!" he yelled.

"You're the most suspicious!" Wu Lili snorted and added, "My description is, it's wet."

Number 8: "It's not that wet… it's dry when it's in the packaging."

Number 9: "I agree with Number 8's description. I'll add that it's advertised on TV."

The Overseer smiled at them. "After two rounds of descriptions, I'm sure everyone has a clearer judgment. Now, please designate the person you wish to vote for—"

Almost everyone voted for Number 6.

Panicked, Number 6 didn't vote.

Shen Mo voted for Number 1.

Bai Youwei was puzzled, then she saw Number 1 and Number 6 vanish before her eyes. At the same time, the Overseer's voice rang out:

"Now commencing the third round of descriptions."

Bai Youwei's mind raced, and she understood.

Shen Mo was reducing the number of opponents.

Since two people were eliminated each round, there was no need to concentrate all the votes on one person! …However, doing this also made it easy for him to be voted out by Number 1's teammate in the next round.

Now there were five people left. Besides her and Shen Mo, there were Numbers 7, 8, and 9.

Numbers 8 and 9 were likely a team. Number 7 might be on Shen Mo's side. Now she had to find a way to gain Number 7's trust and form an alliance. That way, 3 against 2, they could win for sure.

However…

She really disliked Number 7.

"Number 3, please describe your word," the Overseer reminded.

Bai Youwei frowned.

This round was crucial.

Numbers 8 and 9 had already teamed up. If she couldn't secure Number 7's vote in this round, she was very likely to be voted out.

She thought for a moment and said, "I already know who my friend is."
