Chapter 59: The Mathematical Betrayal

Yi Mo’s annoying attitude was truly one of a kind!

However, checking the time, there were only five minutes left before the Judgment Meeting was set to begin.

Cthulhu didn’t have the time to deal with him and rushed over to find Unrivaled instead.

“Brother, think carefully about how Sibo Daye has treated you these past few days!”

“You’ve worked so hard to please him, but have you received any benefits?”

“I am the Prophet! Trust me, and I’ll lead you to victory!!!”

Cthulhu wore a mournful expression, his face twisted in a look of desperate pleading.

Unrivaled, on the other hand, acted like a total master.

He sat with his legs crossed and his chin tilted so high his nostrils were practically aimed at the sky.

He said arrogantly, “Oh, if it isn’t Cthulhu!”

“Of all the people you could have messed with, you chose my Big Brother, Sibo Daye.”

“Did you forget how Conan died yesterday so quickly?”

“Don’t even think about driving a wedge between us.”

“My big brother and I might have had some misunderstandings before.”

“But that’s all in the past.”

“Everything has been wiped clean.”

“When it comes to survival, who cares about those trivial matters?”

“I believe in Sibo Daye. Stop talking nonsense and get back to your seat.”

Upon hearing this, Cthulhu actually dropped to his knees before Unrivaled, grabbing his leg.

“Don’t! If you follow him, you’ll definitely die!”

“I am the Prophet!!!”

“He really is a Werewolf. You saw it correctly on the first day!”

“You have to believe in yourself!”

“I’m begging you, trust me!”

Unrivaled’s eyebrows furrowed in clear displeasure.

He spoke fiercely, “To hell with this, get lost!”

“Take your filthy Werewolf hands off my pants!”

“You’re dead meat today!”

“Nobody can save you!!!”

“I am loyal to the core; I won’t be fooled by the likes of you!”

Taoqimao, standing nearby, couldn’t even listen to it anymore.

Unrivaled actually used ‘loyal to the core’ to describe himself…

It was… simply shameless…

Seeing that there was no hope with Unrivaled, Cthulhu moved to pull at Taoqimao’s skirt.

“Vote for Pikachu! Vote for Pikachu!”

“We’re both just workers, and we’re about the same age!”

“You have to trust me! I have no reason to lie to everyone!!!”

“Eek!”

Taoqimao was startled and took several steps back, but Cthulhu was relentless.

It wasn’t until Yi Mo walked over and shooed Cthulhu away that the man finally trudged back to his seat with a look of despair.

There was only one minute left before the Judgment Meeting was scheduled to start.

Yi Mo patted Taoqimao’s head and said gently, “Just feel free to vote for Cthulhu. Don’t feel any pressure.”

“Don’t vote for yourself; there’s no point in that.”

“If Pikachu gets voted out, the Good Guys might actually lose.”

Taoqimao’s face turned slightly red.

Too shy to look at Yi Mo, she simply nodded.

As the Judgment Meeting was about to begin, Yi Mo couldn’t stay by Taoqimao’s side.

He returned to Dieyu.

Before she could sit, he reached out to brush the fallen leaves off her wooden chair.

With a gentlemanly flourish, he made a gesture for her to be seated.

“Beautiful lady, please.”

Dieyu thoroughly enjoyed Yi Mo’s service.

Holding both sides of her skirt, she responded with the etiquette of a lady before sitting down with a giggle.

She looked up at Yi Mo and said, “Calling me ‘beautiful lady’ is too common. I want you to change the nickname.”

Yi Mo took his own seat and glanced at Dieyu.

“How about ‘reserved girlfriend’?”

Dieyu’s brows knitted slightly, a hint of feigned anger in her voice.

“So I’m only in the reserve pool~”

Yi Mo snapped his fingers and patted his chest.

“Hey, once the voting is over and we kick Cthulhu out, I’ll promote you to official girlfriend. How about that?”

Dieyu covered her mouth and laughed softly.

“I haven’t even agreed to that yet~”

The two of them continued their banter, flirting back and forth.

Cthulhu’s mental state was reaching a breaking point.

[Ding-dong. The Judgment Meeting has begun.]

And at that exact moment, the meeting started!

Yi Mo didn’t hesitate.

He took out his ballot and even waved it mockingly at Cthulhu.

He said smugly, “Brother, bye-bye!”

Cthulhu stared at Yi Mo with eyes full of fire, his voice shaking with impotent rage.

“If I get voted out today!”

“All of you will pay for your actions!!!”

“I really am the Prophet! What about Sibo Daye makes him look like a Prophet!!!”

“I’m not saying Sibo Daye is a Werewolf!”

“He’s the Hunter; everyone knows that in their hearts!”

“He’s just muddying the waters here, making sure anyone he dislikes gets eliminated!”

“He’s just a Hunter causing chaos.”

“I’m not saying he’s definitely a Werewolf, but you have to believe I’m the Prophet!”

“I verified Pikachu as a Werewolf! Get her out today!”

Cthulhu wanted to fight for his life, but hardly anyone gave him the time to do so.

Dieyu, the Ordinary Girl Village Chief, the Ferryman, Unrivaled, and Pikachu didn’t hesitate.

Without listening to a word Cthulhu said, they had already cast their votes.

Cthulhu’s expression grew increasingly desperate as he looked at the Ferryman beside him.

“Help me!”

“You can talk, say something for me!”

“You are my Gold Water! You’re on my side, so how can you just sit there and watch???”

The Ferryman rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“I’ve already worked hard to help you.”

“If you die, it can only be said that the Werewolf Couple on the field is too united. I’m afraid nothing I say would help.”

Cthulhu suddenly felt as though he didn’t have a single teammate…

It felt as if everyone was targeting him.

Even the Ferryman’s help seemed to only serve the purpose of sending him to the Judgment Stage more effectively!!!

Now, only two people had yet to vote.

Himself and Taoqimao.

Cthulhu quickly cast his own ballot and then roared at Taoqimao, “Vote for Pikachu!”

“Taoqimao, don’t be stupid!!!”

“Vote for Pikachu!”

Cthulhu’s manner had turned into a blatant threat.

Pikachu let out a loud shout and stood up.

“Get lost!”

“You Werewolf! You’ve been pretending to be a Good Guy these past few days, and now your tail is finally showing.”

“Just hurry up and die!”

After saying that, she turned to Taoqimao.

“Little Taoqimao, although I always call you a bitch, you know I don’t actually hold that much malice.”

“I wasn’t really targeting you. I’m a Good Guy, and Cthulhu is the Werewolf.”

“Vote! Let’s win together!”

Taoqimao was under immense pressure.

Her head was lowered, her face completely flushed, and she looked caught in a desperate struggle.

If she voted someone out, it would be no different from being a murderer!

She… didn’t want to kill anyone…

“Ugh… I don’t want to…”

“I don’t want to be a murderer…”

Yi Mo knew Taoqimao’s personality.

Although she was cowardly, she was kind and had a strong sense of justice.

He couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Taoqimao, be good.”

“Think about the miserable deaths of Boss Qian and Great Emperor Zhenwu.”

“You aren’t murdering someone; you’re just punishing a murderer.”

“You are standing on the side of justice.”

Upon hearing this, Taoqimao actually began to cry.

She wiped her eyes repeatedly, looking like she was on the verge of a breakdown.

She whispered a soft mumble.

‘I… am not… on the side of justice at all…’

As she spoke, her face was clouded with shadow.

Gritting her teeth, she pulled a ballot from the System.

Under Cthulhu’s desperate gaze, she was the last to cast her vote.

Seeing her finish, Pikachu finally let out a sigh of relief.

She looked at Yi Mo with a happy, sincere expression.

“Thank you.”

However, just as she finished speaking, a beam of white light enveloped her.

[Ding-dong.]

[Judgment Meeting concluded. Announcing the results.]

[Sibo Daye: 1 vote (Village Chief)]

[Cthulhu: 3.5 votes (Pikachu, Sibo Daye, Unrivaled)]

[Pikachu: 4 votes (Cthulhu, Baiduren, Dieyu, Taoqimao)]

[In this Judgment Meeting: Pikachu is out.]

[Punishment Time: fifteen minutes.]

[The punished player cannot leave the Punishment Platform within the round table. Restrictions on attacking the punished player are lifted for other players. Kill them within fifteen minutes.]

[If the punished player has not died when time expires, the punished player wins the game individually, and all other players are declared losers.]

[14:59…]

***

As the results of the Judgment Meeting were announced, Pikachu was stunned for a moment before being teleported onto the Judgment Stage.

Her body was tied tightly to the bronze pillar in the center.

Her expression was distorted, her eyes wide as she glared at Taoqimao and screamed, “You…”

“You really are a Werewolf!!!”

“You hid it so deeply!”

“Ah!!!! I will never let you go, never!!”

Taoqimao held her head in her hands, shaking it continuously as she sobbed.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

“I’m truly sorry…”

Seeing the results, Cthulhu nearly wept with joy.

His mournful face suddenly transformed, and he clutched his head while laughing loudly.

“Hahaha… Hahaha…”

“Whew… haha… whew… haha…”

“Is this… the feeling of walking along the edge of death…”

“It’s… simply… beautiful!!!”

“Hahaha…”

He was breathing heavily, his eyes completely bloodshot, fully exposing the bloodthirsty light within them.

Before the Judgment Meeting began.

Taoqimao had been called out of the Thatched Hut by Cthulhu.

In a dark corner, he had suddenly dropped to his knees, clutching Taoqimao’s legs as he wailed loudly, “Taoqimao! Taoqimao!”
