After several trials, the Blue White Society determined that wounds would always appear as specified, but death would not.
If the target did not die after being beheaded, then it simply would not die.
However, because writing in the Death List required the participant to specify an injury sufficient to cause death, the target's ability to survive had to be recorded on the list before the method of death was determined.
If someone installed a Calculus Heart first and was then written down as having their heart burned to a crisp, the writer would have violated the rules, because the target was not someone who would die from having their heart burned to a crisp.
However, the cycle of the Death List was even more impossible to deal with than the Blue White Society had imagined.
The first round of killings was normally random. Tom's blood evaporated.
The blow's fatal effect was blocked by the Cartoon Person's trait, which could be considered good news. But immediately afterward, Franklin's Calculus Heart activated, meaning his heart was ruined.
After the Calculus Heart exempted Franklin from death, the other two people who had been beheaded also triggered their death penalties at the same time, finally causing Rijekaard's death.
It was obvious that after the Death List discovered that its target had not died, it had given the death slot to someone else in sequence.
Still, no one died, and the death penalties erupted across the entire group at once.
Mo Qiong had been deeply worried, believing that the Death List would continue launching fatal attacks against them without limit until someone died.
Fortunately, later experiments showed that after the Death List launched one fatal attack against every target, it would end that round of the chain, even if no one died.
