The Middle-parted Youth learned the ins and outs of the Number Plates from Huang Ji, only then realizing how foolish he had been.
The host had made it very clear: the murder-reporting system recognized only numbers, not people.
"The Prostitute gave her Number Plate to someone else... No, she's not that clever. The Magician must have helped her do it."
"He's protecting a Wrongfully Imprisoned person so fiercely. He must be Wrongfully Imprisoned too!" the Middle-parted Youth said quickly.
Huang Ji said, "At this stage, whether he's Wrongfully Imprisoned isn't important. What matters is that the Red Building can gather all the Number Plates in one place."
The Middle-parted Youth widened his eyes. "Without a number, you're invincible. If they gather all the Number Plates and vote for one of us, while we're scattered with one vote per person..."
"That would mean that as long as even one person in the Blue Building acts impulsively, their vote could kill someone."
When people were not united, they were easily exploited.
Huang Ji said, "No one can guarantee that they won't be the one voted to death, so the six people in the Blue Building must unite as well."
"Boss, you have to be the one to unite everyone. Otherwise, you and I could both get voted to death for no reason," said the Middle-parted Youth, handing his Number Plate directly to Huang Ji.
Huang Ji said, "There isn't enough time for any other method. I really am the only one who can consolidate the votes. Fortunately, I'd already united the three of us."
The Middle-parted Youth thought about it. Nine votes had killed Number Three.
That meant three votes had not been cast.
"Three people... Right, aside from you and me, there's one other person who didn't vote... Who was it?"
