Qi Si sat on the edge of the bed, idly turning the black character card over in his hands.
Scenes involving Hansen flashed before his eyes, matching the card's description one by one.
[He didn't fit in...]
Hansen was the only one who excelled in brute force and did not use a pen to record information.
[He was detestable...]
From the start, Hansen had lashed out and bitten at everyone indiscriminately. His words had been anything but polite; there was truly nothing likable about him.
[He died hastily and absurdly...]
Yes, Hansen had not been given much room to struggle before the Players voted him to death without question. No one listened to his defense, no one felt sympathy for him; almost everyone wanted him dead.
Qi Si believed that inciting the Players to focus their fire on Hansen had entirely been his own will, a choice he had made of his own accord. Yet now, a "Cannon Fodder Card" had suddenly appeared, claiming that this had been a predetermined ending. It really rubbed him the wrong way.
"It can't be ruled out that this character card was generated according to the plot only after Hansen died. But if the words on it were truly written in advance, then things get interesting."
"Every player's identity in this Instance is a role. Hansen's role was 'cannon fodder'—does that mean there are also protagonists, supporting characters, villains, and the like?"
Qi Si rubbed his chin, a faint sense of foreboding rising within him.
It was known that this Instance was a play. And every play necessarily had a script.
Though he did not know where the script for this play was or what it contained, according to conventional dramatic theory, the final ending was nothing more than "the protagonist defeats the villain
