[Please have Blue Team No. 1 state their position: ten, nine...]

Blue Team No. 1, which is the Xiaoxiao Conan.

But Conan didn't answer immediately; instead, he pondered how to break the deadlock.

Because no one else can speak during a person's presentation, everyone can only look at Conan.

Just as the countdown was about to end, Conan's glasses flashed, and he pointed at Ling Yi, saying, "Brother Ling Yi is a blank card!"

[Please have Blue Team No. 2 state your position: ten, nine...]

Duan Yu had finally gotten into the swing of things and was experiencing the game, or rather, he was drawn into the atmosphere.

He glanced at Conan, only to see Conan make a shrugging gesture.

Duan Yu understood Conan's meaning: instead of continuing with meaningless explanations, it would be better to directly point out the blank card that he thought was most likely.

Duan Yu looked around, then at the opposite side, and felt a bit overwhelmed.

He couldn't figure out who the blank card was. Before, he didn't see anyone as a blank card, but now everyone looks like a blank card.

He didn't understand why Conan thought Ling Yi was a blank card; in his opinion, Ling Yi was the least likely to be a blank card.

Ling Yi's statements were all correct, or rather, apart from themselves, the statements made by the Blue Team were all correct.

On the contrary, the opposing red team's statements were increasingly problematic.

One used corpses to make medicine, another used corpses to make puppets, and yet another used corpses to exchange for Beli. The only one whose description seems relatively serious is Li Jing from Chentang Pass.

In his view, it was Conan's accusation against Ling Yi that was problematic.

2 seconds left on the countdown!

" Conan is a blank card!" Duan Yu said quickly.

[Please have Blue Team No. 3 state the numbers: 10, 9...]

Ip Man didn't know who the blank card was at this moment, but he had a similar idea to Duan Yu.

Ling Yi did a great job, both in his explanation and his performance just now, even if the blank card represented Miss Huang, Duan Yu, or Conan...

Ip Man frowned and glanced at Conan.

Why can't it be this little guy?

These two games clearly demonstrate that this child possesses extraordinary intelligence.

If Conan is a blank card, then it makes sense for him to cast a blank card for Ling Yi.

This little guy is the one who poses the greatest threat to him on the field.

Thinking of this, Ip Man didn't hesitate and said directly, "Sorry, I also choose Conan as my blank vote!"

Conan, who was in position No. 1, also noticed the problem.

He chose Ling Yi because Ling Yi posed the greatest threat.

Based on the two games, Duan Yu was too conservative, Ip Man was just a slacker, Lü Shouyi very intelligent but still had weaknesses, and Huang Rong was also intelligent but easily swayed by emotions and not very steady.

Ling Yi is the only one Conan can't figure out.

Moreover, throughout the two games, Ling Yi seemed to do and say little, but at every crucial moment, Ling Yi was able to control the pace of the game.

Furthermore, in the previous game, Ling Yi gave up using the Hunter skill to save Lü Shouyi's life, a performance that was highly commendable in the eyes of others.

If Ling Yi simply saved Lü Shouyi, that would be one thing. But if everything was done intentionally by Ling Yi, then in Conan's view, that's terrifying.

He wasn't sure if Ling Yi was a blank card, but if Ling Yi was, Conan feared he wouldn't be able to control the situation and would still be led astray by Ling Yi, ultimately leading to his defeat.

Take Duan Yu and Ip Man as examples.

After casting a blank card for Ling Yi, the two immediately switched their votes and cast their own.

The more Conan thought about it, the more powerless he felt.

If the others are blank cards, he can try one or two more rounds and be confident he can find out who is. But if it really is Ling Yi, then it will be troublesome.

[Please have Blue Team member No. 5 state the numbers: 10, 9...]

Ling Yi was unaware that in Conan's eyes, he had become a Devil King king-like figure.

Ling Yi was somewhat surprised when Conan threw out his blank card, but he quickly understood Conan's purpose in doing so.

However, this is ultimately just a game, and games have winners and losers.

After a moment's thought, Ling Yi slowly said, "I believe the blue team doesn't have any blank cards. The blank card belongs to the red team's No. 2. I'll explain later!"

After Ling Yi finished speaking, it was Huang Rong's turn.

At this moment, Huang Rong didn't know who to choose. She looked at Conan, then at Ling Yi, and finally chose to vote for Ling Yi.

Then it was the turn of the red team.

Just like in the first round, the red team's pace remains fast.

Cool and handsome Dai Mubai blindly guesses Conan's blank card, Yao Lao votes for Ling Yi's blank card. Who told Ling Yi to vote for his blank card?

Among the newcomers on the red team, only Nami and Bai Xiaofei showed any interest in the game's treasure chests.

Dai Mubai, Yao Lao, Ji Ziyue, and Li Jing didn't care about the game treasure chests at all.

Ji Ziyue also voted for Conan, for no reason, just randomly.

After that, both Nami and Li Jing chose to follow Ji Ziyue.

[Both sides, please summarize your points. You have three minutes. Voting will follow after three minutes!]

As soon as the system notification sounded, Conan stood up from his chair again and said seriously, "I vote for Ling Yi, not because I'm sure he's the blank card, but because I'm worried that Ling Yi might actually be the blank card."

"How could Ling Yi be a blank card? If he really were a blank card, he wouldn't have made Lü Shouyi Self-Destruct his undercover identity," Duan Yu retorted.

"Brother Lü Self-Destruct his undercover identity voluntarily, so how could Ling Yi stop him? Does that mean he's just a blank card?" Conan countered.

"Do you think game warnings are fake? And do you think game warnings are just for fairness?"

Isn't that so?

"No, the purpose of the game warning is simply to tell us that a game is just a game," Conan said seriously, adjusting his glasses.

Everyone seemed lost in thought.

Conan pointed at Duan Yu, then at the red team's direction. "If the game is only meant to warn everyone against cheating, why wasn't Brother Duan warned?"

"What did I do wrong? I didn't break any rules, why are you warning me?" Duan Yu, puzzled.

"Did Brother Ling Yi break the rules? In the Werewolf game, there's no rule requiring the Hunter to fire the final shot, right?"

"In this round of the 'Who Is the Undercover ' game, the rules didn't say that Brother Lü couldn't Self-Destruct his own spy identity, right? These are all within the rules of the game."

"If we're really going to issue a warning, then you and the Red Team's slacking off should have been warned too, but they weren't."

Therefore, game warnings are simply telling us that games are just games, and we shouldn't let personal feelings get mixed in.

Everyone understood Conan's meaning, and upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

"But I still don't understand why you voted for Ling Yi with a blank ballot," Huang Rong said.

At this moment, Ling Yi spoke up, " Conan wants to vote for me, probably because I have the greatest influence on the game's outcome. I actually agree with Conan's approach."

Duan Yu and Huang Rong both looked at Ling Yi with confusion.

Ip Man, however, seemed lost in thought.

Conan smiled wryly. Ling Yi's move of retreating to advance and being frank was very clever.

With the added Lü Shouyi, it became easier to maintain his identity.

However, this only made Conan more certain that Ling Yi was the blank card.

"Let me explain why I chose Yao Chen, the Yao Lao!" Ling Yi said slowly.

"Anyone with an undercover identity or a blank identity will inevitably try to set the tone."

"And after we finished our first round of presentations, the red team probably already knew what our standard cards were, thanks to Duan Yu."

Duan Yu scratched his head sheepishly.

"In the first round of statements, Dai Mubai's statement was fine: the enemy must die, and those who are destined to die naturally become corpses."

" Bai Xiaofei's self -Self-Destruct goes without saying, and Nami's statement is also correct."

"Why?" Huang Rong asked.

Let Nami explain it herself!

Nami glanced at Ling Yi and asked, "You seem to know me very well? Why?"

Ling Yi nodded. "I do understand."

But Ling Yi didn't explain why he knew.

Nami frowned; Ling Yi's answer clearly did not satisfy her, but she did not press the matter.

"The One Piece and the World Government generally have bounties on pirates. You can use One Piece's corpse to exchange for Beli with the Navy."

"What is Beli? Is it money?" Duan Yu asked.

Ling Yi explained, " Beli is the unit of currency in Nami's world, so Nami's statement in the first round was correct."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Jing again.

"General Li's statement is not problematic. After all, General Li lived in ancient times, and in his mind, a Plague caused by a corpse was a terrible thing."

"So, who on the red team is actually setting the pace? Clearly, it's only Yao Lao and Miss Ji Ziyue."

Ling Yi stopped there and didn't say anything more.

He only needs to smooth things over and play a guiding role.

Ling Yi wasn't trying to lead the crowd to administer the Yao Lao or Ji Ziyue; Ling Yi's actions could be summed up in three words: setting the pace.

"Are you really a blank card?" Dai Mubai asked Yao Lao.

"What kind of question is that? Even if it's a blank card, who would admit it!" Nami said speechlessly.

Yao Chen then looked at Ling Yi and asked, "Young brother, are you also aware of my identity?"

" Xiao Huohuo, the ring!" Ling Yi slowly uttered the two words.

The Yao Lao's pupils contracted, and he fell silent.

Nami looked at Ling Yi and asked, "You don't know anything about our origins, do you?"

That's a really good question, Ling Yi thought to himself, giving Nami a thumbs up.

Even if Nami doesn't ask, he'll guide others to ask the question.

Ling Yi needed to test the Game Space.

Ling Yi glanced at the members of the red team, smiled faintly, and nodded again.

"Why?" Nami, puzzled.

"If we meet again in the next game, I'll let you know."

[Please all players vote for the player with the blank card, 10, 9, 8...]

Then, the game's audio started playing again.

On the blue team's side, Duan Yu, Ip Man, and Huang Rong all voted for Conan, Conan voted for Ling Yi, and Ling Yi voted for Yao Chen.

If we're talking about setting the tone, they think Conan is the one setting the tone.

Only Nami voted for Yao Chen, but everyone else voted for Conan, including Yao Lao.

Conan 8 votes, Ling Yi got 1 vote, Yao Chen 1 vote.

Conan was sealed away, looking utterly dejected.

[The game continues!]
