Chapter 216
Thunder roared and the entire castle shook.
The dim candlelight caused a mottled yellow light to appear on the wall. After the black tower announced the rules of the game, the 17 players stood around the long table and no one spoke. After a long time, a white woman said, “There are only 12 chairs but we have 17 people.”
Yes, there were 17 small dolls in the centre of the table. The black tower also said that there were 16 players and a black tower monster in the castle. However, there were only 12 chairs.
Andrei opened his mouth. “There are names on the chair. The black tower has divided us into groups.”
Everyone immediately went up to look at the chairs.
Under the dim lights of the candle, they could see distorted names carved on the backs of the quaint chairs. Everyone’s name was in English. The black tower was humane enough to help players hide their identities. Tang Mo looked around and his eyes narrowed when he saw the name on the last chair.
The only black woman present sneered. “Is there any need to use English names? It will be exposed anyway since you know each other.”
Among these 12 chairs, there were four that weren’t engraved with the name of just one person. There were three chairs engraved with the names of two people and one chair had three English names.
Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo… and Bai Ruoyao.
The baby-faced youth blinked with surprise. “Wow Tang Tang, Major Fu, I’m actually in a team with you.”
Tang Mo’s heart sank as he looked at the chair next to him. It had ‘Mu Huixue’ and ‘Andrei’ written on it. Another chair belonged to two foreign men and the last chair belonged to a foreign man and woman.
The black tower had obviously decided that the nine people knew each other and the information was disclosed to all players.
In fact, it was well understood that there were 17 players in the game. The seventh rule of the game stated that in the last minute of every day, they could use the right to vote for a target considered to be a monster. The target of the vote was restricted and all abilities and items wouldn’t be available.
There were 17 players and everyone had equal voting rights, but Tang Mo, Mu Huixue and the others knew each other. Once they worked together, they would vote for a certain player and win the majority vote, making it unfair to other players. The black tower took these measures and directly teamed them up to forcefully reduce the number of votes.
The other players stared at the owners of the four chairs. The nine of them looked calm and not embarrassed at all about their relationship being exposed.
Boom!
There was another roar of thunder and the candles in the castle started shaking. The candlelight cast shadows on the building and Tang Mo suddenly became alert due to the strange sound of a gear turning. Every player grabbed their weapons and looked around.
They saw that in the middle of the long table, one of the 17 dolls seemed to have its gears activated as it moved forward on the table. The players stared coldly as the little puppet swayed and moved before saying in a strange and ethereal voice, “Stephen Teslav looked at me and pulled out his dagger.”
The words finished and the puppet suddenly pointed to a blond foreigner. The foreigner’s expression changed and he put away his dagger.
There was another loud sound and the group looked behind the small puppet. They saw a second small puppet move forward before stopping in front of a black woman. “Lena Jokel looked at me and wanted to kill me.”
