Emma immediately sprints toward the other players, screaming, "HELP! HE WANTS TO KILL ME! PROTECT ME, PLEASE!"
Alex laughs. "She's such an insane, bad actor. She's finally gone mad! She just tried to extort me and manipulate you into letting me stay a bit longer so she can profit even more!"
Despite his confident tone, Alex is doubting himself. Shit, I just missed my chance. I shouldn't have said I could do it—I should've just killed her. Will I get another chance? She has a wall of flesh surrounding her!
Emma screams, "Number 7, I order you to give me your weapons!"
Alex shrugs and flips her off. "Go to hell, bitch!"
The other players exchange confused looks. Emma, equally baffled, screams toward the cameras at the top of the building. "SEE? HE REFUSED MY ORDER! DISQUALIFY HIM!"
Amused, Alex talks down to her. "Are you stupid? The rules are clear. You can't force me to give you stuff! You can only order me to stop eating, clean the room, or do other things related to the room. No way in hell am I giving you any of my possessions. Well, if you want, I can spit in your face, you vile, manipulative bitch, but that's sure as hell all you're gonna get."
One of the rougher-looking candidates bursts out laughing, drawing a malicious glare from Emma.
"See? The guy who just laughed—you'll be next on her list to be eliminated. Just look at her! Is this someone you can trust?" Alex continues, trying to sow discord in the group.
"I FORBID YOU, NUMBER 7, FROM SPEAKING!" Emma suddenly commands, a smug smile spreading across her face.
Shit, Alex thinks. I think I'm gonna have to swallow that order. It shouldn't be against the rules.
Alex grabs a bottle of water, takes a swig, and then spits it directly in Emma's face. He flips her off again before sitting down in a corner. Openly holding his sword and shield, he makes a throat-cutting gesture toward Emma, who looks utterly bamboozled and terrified.
Emma, steaming with rage, and the other candidates huddle together, whispering among themselves and silently discussing the situation.
Meanwhile, Alex contemplates his next move. What do I do? Should I go for the kill? This is hopeless... I have no idea how to get out of this situation. I should just give up... It's not like I have a system to tell me what to do. The only response I'll get from Mustrano is to kill—which is smart, but it'll get me disqualified immediately!
Then it hits him. WAIT A MINUTE! There is something that can tell me what to do!
Alex pulls out his [Destiny Watch] and carefully examines its third effect.
[Destiny Watch]
World: Hunter x Hunter
Quality: Light Purple
Type: Trinket (pocket watch)
Required Stats: LUK - 10
Effect: Increases LUK by 1 (If LUK is below 10, just carrying this item will reduce your LUK by 1, and the other effects will remain inactive, displaying random information instead.)
Effect2: Always shows the current day, weekday, month, year, temperature, humidity, and contains a 100% reliable compass. Works in any world—circles may adjust in worlds with alternative interpretations of days, months, or years.
Effect3: Once per mission, you can activate this item to give you a random hint. Following the hint always leads to a good outcome!
Note: All-knowing, mysterious, and magical, this watch holds powers that provide accurate information regardless of location. However, if the wearer's LUK is low, it won't work at all and even decreases the wearer's LUK.
Note2: If you look carefully at this watch, you may discover the source of its mysterious power.
