A villainous girl created by paranoia

"Old Bai, what do you think this 4v16 situation in the game represents?"

I tilted my head to the other side, somewhat not understanding what she was trying to say, but I still answered her truthfully.

"Isn't it 4 survivors vs. 16 killers?"

Seeing Phyllis's dumbfounded expression, I was even more puzzled.

Isn't that right?

"You already knew?"

"That's it."

When did you find out?

"I probably found out as soon as the game rules were released."

"Back then, you stopped me because you were pitiful and made a slip of the tongue..."

That's the reason.

Upon hearing this, Phyllis remained silent for a moment, then covered her face and began to sneer.

"Hehehehe... What am I doing... Really, how stupid am I... Hehehe."

"Phyllis?"

Suddenly, Phyllis looked up sharply and gazed at me with sorrowful eyes.

"Hey, Lao Bai, am I an idiot?"

I shook my head. I didn't think Phyllis was stupid, because...

Phyllis is not stupid.

"Old Bai...you.."

"Because Phyllis is a lazy dog."

"Damn it! Give me back my gratitude!"

Faced with Phyllis's outburst, I could only shrug helplessly.

"That's what Phyllis said herself, it has nothing to do with me."

"Ugh..."

In the end, Phyllis could only sigh helplessly and then slump onto the table.

"Tell me, what are we going to do? Are you ready to kill me right now?"

I shook my head, refuting her statement.

"Although I am in great danger, there is a way to remedy the situation."

Hearing me say that, Phyllis immediately perked up. She stared at me with wide eyes and then asked with anticipation.

"Is there any other way to save you?"

I leaned close to her ear, and then...

"We can do this and that, and then we can do that and that."

"Oh dear~ I'm so troubled, so troubled. It's really unfair that it's a 4v16 match."

He lay on the bed with his head in his hands, legs crossed, talking to himself like this.

[You are clearly a killer! But why don't you kill people?]

"No rush, no rush, there will be plenty of opportunities to kill."

[Heh, if you don't kill someone now, you might get killed by someone else later.]

"So, who do you think we should kill?"

[Kill that pitiful girl named Hanamiya; she's clearly siding with the survivors.]

"Don't kill him, don't kill him."

Why? She's already made it quite obvious, hasn't she?

“Miss Hanamiya can still fish for us. Look, Miss Phyllis was caught by Miss Hanamiya, wasn’t she? And Miss Lily, she might be a fish too.”

So, we're not going to kill anyone tonight?

"do not kill."

What about voting?

“Of course, I’d vote for Miss Phyllis.”

[Wang Sile's Perspective]

I stretched, and my bones made a 'crack' sound, which shows that I am indeed getting old.

Although I have the title of the teacher's youngest disciple, I am actually 48 years old.

I put down the pen I was holding and looked once more at the notes I had just written in the notebook.

[4 Killers vs. 16 Survivors]

[Is Flower Palace #1 a pitiful killer?]

[Number 2, Tivelle, is a survivor]

[Rain curtain over Village #3 is for survivors]

[Justin, player number 4, is a survivor]

[Zhu Yuxia, contestant number 5, is a survivor]

[Aurora, number 6, is a survivor]

Jamie (player number 7) is a survivor.

[Ling, No. 8, is a survivor]

[Number 9 was born as a survivor]

[Sakura, number 10, is a survivor]

[Number 11, Lin Shou, is a survivor]

[Hardman, number 12, is a survivor]

[Night 13th for Survivors]

[Number 14, Jeston, is the killer]

[Who is Lily on the 15th?]

[William, number 16, is a survivor]

[Number 17...]

[Zhao Botian, player number 18, is a survivor]

[Is Shiro Souji, number 19, the killer?]

[Number 20, Phyllis, is the killer]

Looking at the paper with everyone's identities written on it, I nodded in satisfaction, then tore it off, and tore it several times over until it was completely shredded.

Next, I went to the bathroom, threw the scraps of paper into the toilet, and finally flushed them away.

Perhaps I didn't quite understand before we started playing, but now I truly understand the game's 'good intentions'.

--split line--

This chapter, though 6,000 words long, feels a bit padded...

Hmm, I'll try not to include so many perspective shifts in a single chapter in the future, as it can be confusing for readers.

Chapter 18: Sisters Who Love and Hate Each Other?

[Lily's Perspective]

I...

That's really too greedy.

I don't want Hanamiya to be voted out, and I don't want anyone else to be deceived by Hanamiya.

"Lily, what are you thinking about?"

A familiar voice, a favorite voice, a hateful voice—it's Hanamichi-neechan's voice.

I remained silent in response to her call.

How can I save both sides? Ultimately, can I really do it? I'm just a kid.

'Give up. Let's just ignore everyone else and focus solely on pitying Hanamichi.'

No way, doing this... would just make me watch as other people are completely fooled by Sister Hanamiya and lose their lives.

That kind of thing... is absolutely unacceptable.

'So, what can you do?'

I...me too...
