I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 791. Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

The space was dim, and one by one, the lights on the nine pillars on the platform lit up, revealing all the figures.

When Jin Shiyin and Jin Yangtian saw the light also appear on platform number nine, and the black-robed figure appeared, their expressions slightly tense.
This guy actually survived.
Jin Yangtian had actually noticed something was wrong during the initial settlement phase. The absence of the first kill reward indicated that the Spade Man had faked his death.

It was not swallowed up by the Evil Land formed by the Evil Mist Card.

Therefore, it seems highly likely that the Spade Man escaped the detection of the two Saint-level beings through some special concealment method.

Jin Yangtian looked thoughtfully at the number nine platform. He had to admit that this rat not only had excellent camouflage skills, but its concealment skills were also unexpectedly brilliant.

"Fine, as long as they're alive, they're alive." Jin Yangtian shook his head, his eagle eyes narrowing as he surveyed the crowd: "So, who is in the Unsinkable Sea?"

A moment of silence followed.

"Your Excellency, do I recall that you fled towards the Unsinkable Sea just now?" Madam Mi's delicate lower face curved into a faint, intrigued smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention quickly focused on the six-winged angel on platform number 4.

Juphallus's expression was indifferent, but his golden pupils shone with a divine light. A card was unleashed, transforming into an image that emerged and magnified from his right pupil.

[Level 0 Recording Card: All images you see within one hour will be recorded and cannot be faked by any means]

"This is what I saw when I first arrived at the Unsinkable Sea."

In the scene, he saw the Spade Man standing on the beach and the turquoise treasure chest suspended in the sea.

Everyone turned their attention back to platform number 9.

Xia Feng narrowed his dark eyes, wanting to curse. This bastard was trying to drag me into this mess.

"So, one of you two must be the Red King, huh?" Kim Si-in casually leaned against the control panel and chuckled.

"Everyone, guess who it could be?"

"Guess? Guess my ass!" Zong Yue cracked his neck, a bloodthirsty smile spreading across his lips. "Everyone gather in the Unsinkable Sea later, and we'll kill the birdman and the black-robed man together!"

"Don't be impatient."

The Black Moon Pope's aged and slow voice came from the shadows, "Everyone, first tell us where you are, and whether there are any other people who can vouch for each other."

"My presence at Blood Thunder Heavenly Sea with Her Highness the Imperial Concubine can serve as mutual testimony."

As the Pope finished speaking, the remaining people reported their locations to each other. Zong Yue and Ms. Mi acted together, while Jin Shiyin, Jin Yangtian, and Tu Lin of the Burning Heaven Path acted together.

Both can be used for mutual verification.

Jin Yangtian nodded: "In that case, let's make the identification. It's a 50/50 chance."

[Identification Rules]

Each player has one vote. Voting results are not public, and the true identity of the player with the most votes will not be revealed.

If the player with the most votes is the Red King, then the Red King's gains from all Ember Stones in this round will be halved, and his entry into the Sumeru Realm will be delayed by three minutes.

[If the candidate with the most votes is not the Red King—the candidate with the most votes will have their entry into the Sumeru Realm delayed by three minutes.]

Seeing that these people were convinced that the Red King was between him and the birdman, Xia Feng had no choice but to tap the table and say coldly, "Don't you all know that seats are tied to spirit artifacts? Wherever the spirit artifact is, that's where your position will be."

"Oh?"

"Are you saying that the Red King deliberately placed the magical artifact in the Unsinkable Sea to frame you?"

Jin Shiyin pondered, “But Lord Spade, unless one is highly divine, even in the Saint Realm, the range of a spiritual artifact leaving the body is at most one hundred kilometers. The area where the seven of us are located is far more than one hundred kilometers away from the Unsinkable Sea.”

One hundred kilometers? Xia Feng's eye twitched slightly. No, your magical artifacts have a limit to their range of movement away from the body?
But if it wasn't a spirit artifact leaving his body to frame other players, could it be that Jufell really is the Red King? Xia Feng was puzzled and looked at the six-winged angel opposite him.

Yufeller's expression was indifferent, but he suddenly spoke: "Gentlemen, at the moment the Red King's location appeared, I had only escaped Ms. Mi's pursuit a few minutes ago. Even if I were fast, it would be difficult to reach the Unsinkable Sea." As he spoke, he looked at the shirtless, muscular man, "Zong Yue, you witnessed my battle with Ms. Mi in the end, didn't you?"

The burly man nodded casually.

"Therefore, it is quite obvious who the Red King is."

As Yufeller finished speaking in a cold and indifferent tone, everyone's gaze was completely fixed on Xia Feng.

Xia Feng sighed inwardly, "Fine, fine, Red King, you're awesome."

Beneath the spade mask, he chuckled softly: "Please feel free to do as you please. If you are truly certain that I am the Red King, you may submit your 'guessing results' directly."

Voting for the Red King is divided into designated and guessed.

Designation is a public voting process during the settlement phase, where the candidate with the most votes will be penalized.

"Guessing" refers to players privately guessing who the Red King is, submitting their guesses, and receiving a huge reward for a correct guess, but they can only guess once.

Therefore, 'designation' in a sense is not about guessing who the red king is, but about voting on who should be punished.

These players may not actually be 100% certain that Xia Feng is the Red King, but given the prevailing trend and all indications, they might as well go with the flow.

As long as they aren't punished on their own, that's a good thing.

Everyone is looking down at the panel to operate and vote, but the voting results are not made public.

[The designated Red King phase has ended—]

[You received eight votes, becoming the designated Red King for this round. You are not the Red King and will not be subject to the penalty of halved rewards, but your entry into the Sumeru Realm will be delayed by three minutes.]

[You haven't guessed yet, do you want to guess? (You can guess at any stage of the game, but only once)]

[Note: If you guess correctly in the first round, you will receive a reward of 100 Ember Stones. The reward will decrease with each subsequent round.]

From his perspective, everyone else has an alibi, so Juefeller is most likely the Red King.

But Xia Feng felt something was off, so he didn't choose to guess.

After all, you only get one chance to guess correctly, and you can't afford to take that risk.

[Returning to the Sumeru Realm soon, entering the second round of the game. Three-second countdown, 3—]

【21--】

On the eight tall pillars, the figures of the eight people vanished simultaneously, disappearing from their original positions.

Xia Feng remained standing on platform number 9, unable to leave for the time being. He would be able to return in three minutes to continue the game.

Three minutes may not seem like much, but on the battlefield, sometimes just a few seconds can drastically change the course of a situation.

For example, at this crucial moment when we're vying for the basic airdrop crate, there's less than half a minute left before the crate is opened!

After Juphale's soul returned to his body, the dazzling light of the sapphire chest flooded his eyes.

Without hesitation, he released his Daoist domain to accelerate the breaking of the formation, while simultaneously glancing at the black-robed figure in the distance.
The man in black robes stood there with his head down, not yet returning.

Yufeller ignored the ant and flapped his six white wings, causing the transparent light layer on the outside of the treasure chest to crack with a loud bang!

"Click—" The lock opened, and the box suddenly flipped up.

Inside the box were eight cards, their light radiating brilliantly.
