Most of the games in this Instance were unfair, and that unfairness became increasingly apparent over time.

The initial unfairness was that Hansen clearly wasn't the most sinful or least valuable person, yet he was the first to be voted out because of his outstanding combat ability.

The existence of character cards was another layer of unfairness.

Without their knowledge, the Players had been assigned various roles. Roles like cannon fodder and supporting characters couldn't obtain their own character cards and could only lie flat and wait to die, while protagonists and Villains had the chance to come back from the dead.

A protagonist's resurrection was unconditional, while a Villain's resurrection depended on the protagonist remaining alive. The Players had been divided into ranks from the very beginning; their odds of survival and the order of their deaths had long since been decided.

After that, games like Catch the Fox and Blackjack were inherently incapable of being absolutely fair. The odds could only be balanced through repeated rounds...

Qi Si looked at Cynthia. "This round, we'll vote for Dong Xiwen together. Once he dies, we'll each rely on our own abilities."

Cynthia nodded and succinctly spat out a single word: "Fine." Her already dim eyes seemed even darker at first glance.

"Hey! Is it really okay for you two to discuss this right in front of me?" Dong Xiwen looked like he was about to cry, but there was nothing he could do besides voice his dissatisfaction.

Two votes against one—the outcome had already been decided. No matter what, he had to die once.

What was even more frightening was that after Hansen had been voted to death, he seemed to have truly died. If Dong Xiwen was voted out, would he truly die as well?

"Let's begin." Qi Si
