Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

In the real world, there's a game called "Who's the Spy," similar to the Friend Game, where players use descriptive words to identify the outsider.

The slight difference is that in "Who's the Spy," there's usually one spy hidden among seven or eight players. The Friend Game, however, divides players into two balanced teams, making information more confusing and increasing the difficulty.

Regardless of the rule variations, one thing must be remembered: concealment is far better than exposure.

Accurately describing your own word is secondary. The most important thing is to quickly guess the words held by the other players, so you can adjust your description according to the situation.

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

Shen Mo glanced at Bai Youwei and said indifferently, "Inedible, elastic."

Ding!

Two lines of text floated above Shen Mo's head.

Bai Youwei: "…"

Did he put "inedible" first to hint to her that his word was different from Number 1's?

So, when it's time to vote, should she join him in eliminating Number 1?

Bai Youwei gritted her teeth.

No…

Her order was Number 3. Number 2 was already out. If Number 1 was also eliminated, she would be the first to speak in the next round, which would be very disadvantageous for her.

She had to protect Number 1 in this round of voting, at least.

The Overseer: "Number 5, please describe your word."

Number 5: "Uh… available in supermarkets, the price… isn't too expensive."

Next—

Number 6: "We occasionally buy it at the supermarket."

Number 7: "…a bit sticky."

Number 8: "It's white… oh, no, there are other colors too."

Number 9: "This thing… can change shape."

Finally, Number 10, Zhang Qi, looked at Number 5 with gloomy eyes: "My word is different from Number 5's. There are many types of this thing, some cheap, some very expensive."

Bai Youwei: "…"

She was getting irritated.

The Overseer: "The first round of descriptions is over. Please designate the person you want to vote for."

Swish, swish, swish Several arms raised.

The scene of mutual accusations was truly spectacular.

Number 1 and Number 5 voted for Number 10, Zhang Qi.

Number 6, Number 7, as well as Shen Mo and Bai Youwei, all voted for Number 5.

Number 8 voted for Shen Mo.

Number 9 abstained and did not vote.

Two people were eliminated each round, so Number 5 and Number 10 were both voted out.

Without even a chance to make a sound, their bodies instantly vanished.

The Overseer: "Now we begin the second round of descriptions. Please pay attention to the descriptive words above each player's head. Second-round descriptions cannot be repeated from the first round; otherwise, you will be immediately eliminated."

Bai Youwei suddenly understood. So that's what the floating words meant.

There were now seven players on the field, with corresponding descriptions:

Number 1 — A type of food, but not real food.

Number 3 — Can be bought in many supermarkets.

Number 4 — Inedible, elastic.

Number 6 — Occasionally bought at the supermarket.

Number 7 — A bit sticky.

Number 8 — White, but also other colors.

Number 9 — Can change shape.

Bai Youwei furrowed her brows in frustration. Excluding her own information, the remaining six pieces of information contained two sets of words, and there was also a piece of false information because there was still a ghost.

If Number 1, Number 6, and Number 7 were describing the same word, she could guess it was chewing gum, bubble gum, or something similar.

The descriptions of Number 4 (Shen Mo), Number 8, and Number 9 combined suggested bubble gum, rubber cement, or something like that.

But Number 8 voted for Shen Mo, indicating they weren't on the same team.

Then Shen Mo and Zhang Qi both voted for Number 5. Zhang Qi said there were different types, some very expensive. Was there such a thing as expensive bubble gum?

Bai Youwei was a bit confused.

This was so annoying… She had to confirm Shen Mo's word quickly; otherwise, how could she continue playing with her brother?

At this point, the Overseer announced the start of the second round:

"Number 1, please describe your word. Remember, do not repeat the first round's description."
