Chapter 602: Chapter 602: The Large Black Moth
Bai Youwei wasn’t surprised. She’d merely spoken to deter herself from changing her mind at the last minute, but she hadn’t anticipated…the real scenario.
At nine-thirty in the morning, half an hour before the third round of voting, everyone gathered early in the square.
Initially, a black member from the Blue Eyes camp suddenly collapsed. His Caucasian companion rushed forward, shouting his name, while curious onlookers surrounded them.
The muscular black man lay sprawled on the square with the white sunlight shining on his ashen face.
Anxiety spread amongst the crowd like a plague. Remembering Xu Fanghe’s comments about “Heavenly Punishment” the previous night, everyone instinctively looked towards him.
Then, the black man on the ground suddenly twitched and everyone recoiled in fright.
Immediately after!
The black man’s throat began to undulate frenetically, as if something were trying to claw its way out!
–His cheeks bulged and his lips stretched apart as a big, fluffy black moth crawled out of his mouth!
Everyone retreated in shock!
Even the Caucasian companion of the black man stepped back in horror, staring at his fallen friend.
But it wasn’t over!
After the first moth emerged, another appeared, followed by a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh…countless!
The black man’s body was quickly covered in large, fluffy moths!
His companion, unable to bear it, ripped off his shirt and flung it at the moths!
A swarm of moths then scattered into the air, disappearing instantly, leaving nothing but a shriveled corpse.
“It’s you!!!” the Caucasian man glared at Xu Fanghe, “You did this!”
“How could it have been me?” Xu Fanghe stood unmoved, his voice devoid of emotion. “This is Heavenly Punishment. Betrayers and schemers will inevitably face divine retribution.”
The Caucasian man turned his gaze towards the sphere poised above them, furiously shouting, “Isn’t the Inspector going to do anything about this?! Violence is forbidden in the game! Anyone who harms others in the game should be immediately eliminated!!!”
“Violence?” Xu Fanghe finally showed emotion, the corners of his mouth curving slightly into a smirk. “I’d like to know, I never even touched him… could that be considered violence?”
Sphere: “…”
How troublesome…
Always dealing with these players who exploit the game’s loopholes.
This was inevitable. Precisely because the majority of the system’s rules were too rigid, there was a need for an Inspector, to supervise every game, provide a more “humanized” interpretation of the rules, and timely patch any loopholes and bugs.
“That doesn’t count.” The sphere responded in a neutral tone, “In this game, only physical altercations and direct attacks that aim to physically harm others are prohibited. This current situation, erm… it doesn’t fall within the violation of game rules.”
“This is unfair!” The Caucasian man cried out in indignation.
The sphere audibly huffed, “Where is the unfairness? You could also arrange a similar death! Make someone commit suicide! Or fall into the sea, die from food poisoning, suffer a heart attack, whatever works. Being bitten to death by bugs also counts. If you can make it happen, the game will judge it as an accidental death! Hmph~ In essence, you’re just not capable enough. Instead, you blame my game for being unfair!”
The sphere squarely washed its hands of any responsibility: “My game can’t be unfair!”
A chill settled over everyone.
It was not possible for these black moths to spawn out of nowhere. It was clear that Xu Fanghe was responsible, likely possessing a powerful tool, and yet they were helpless to do anything about it!
Even Bai Youwei, after deep contemplation, couldn’t determine which of her own tools could challenge Xu Fanghe.
None of her tools were strong enough to kill him instantly, while the stronger tools were off-limits, as using them would violate the game rules.
Xu Fanghe then reached into his pocket, withdrew a piece of paper, and handed it to the Caucasian man saying, “In this round, please vote according to the new number. Thank you for your cooperation.”
