I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 823 - 791. Okay, okay, okay, so this is how we’re playing, huh?
The space was dim, and one by one, lights lit up on the nine pillars, revealing all the figures.
Jin Shiyin and Jinyang Tian saw that Pillar No. 9 also lit up, and when that black-robed figure appeared, their expressions slightly tightened.
This guy is actually still alive....
Jinyang Tian had actually realized something was wrong during the small settlement phase earlier; there was no first-kill reward, indicating that the Black Spade Man was faking his death.
He was not swallowed by the Calamity Land formed by the Calamity Fog Card.
In this light, the Black Spade Man most likely used some special concealment method to escape the investigation of the two Holy Realm beings.
Jinyang Tian looked at Pillar No. 9 thoughtfully and had to admit that this rat not only had excellent disguise methods but also unexpectedly high-level concealment techniques.
Well, alive is alive, Jinyang Tian shook his head, his eagle eyes squinted as he scanned the room: "So, who was in the Unsinking Sea Domain?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
"Your Right Wing, my lady remembers that you seemed to have been fleeing towards the Unsinking Sea Domain just now." Lady Mi's delicate cheeks curved with an amused smile.
At this, everyone's eyes quickly focused on Pillar No. 4, on the Six-winged Angel.
Yophiel's expression was indifferent, his gleaming golden pupils lit up with a holy glow, and a card flicked out, transforming into an image emerging from his right pupil, magnified.
[Level 0 Recording Card: Within one hour, all images you see will be recorded, and cannot be falsified by any means]
"This is the scene when I just arrived at the Unsinking Sea Domain."
The screen showed him seeing the Black Spade Man standing on the beach, as well as the magnificent blue treasure box suspended above the sea.
Everyone turned their eyes again, looking at Pillar No. 9.
Xia Feng's dark eyes squinted slightly, wanting to curse, this bird man insists on dragging me down with him.
"So you're saying that one of you two must be the Red King, right?" Jin Shiyin leaned casually against the control panel, chuckling softly.
"Everyone, take a guess, who could it be?"
"Guess? Guess my ass!" Zong Yue twisted his neck, a bloodthirsty grin spreading across his lips, "In a moment, everyone gather at the Unsinking Sea Domain and just kill the bird man and the black robe together!"
"Calm down."
The aged, deep voice of the Black Moon Pope emerged from the shadows, "Everyone, first state your locations, whether there are others who can testify for each other."
"I was with Her Imperial Concubine in the Blood Thunder Sky Sea, we can vouch for each other."
As the Pope's words dropped, the remaining people also reported their positions, Zong Yue and Lady Mi acted together, Jin Shiyin, Jinyang Tian, and Tu Lin of the Burning Heaven Sect acted as a trio.
They can all vouch for each other.
Jinyang Tian nodded: "In that case, let's make our accusations, it's a fifty percent probability."
[Accusation Rules——]
[Each player has 1 vote, the voting results are not disclosed, the true identity of the top vote holder is not disclosed.]
[If the top vote holder is the Red King——the Red King's Ember Stone earnings this round are halved, and entry into the Sumeru Realm is delayed by three minutes]
[If the top vote holder is not the Red King——the top vote holder is delayed entering the Sumeru Realm by three minutes]
Seeing these people genuinely convinced that the Red King was among him or the bird man, Xia Feng had to tap the tabletop, speaking coldly: "Doesn't everyone know that the seat is bound to the Spiritual Artifact, and wherever the Spiritual Artifact is, the position is naturally there."
"Oh?"
"You're saying that the Red King deliberately placed the Spiritual Artifact in the Unsinking Sea Domain to frame you?"
Jin Shiyin mused, "But Black Spade, unless there is high Divine Authority transformation, even a Holy Realm being's Spiritual Artifact can only be separated to a distance of at most a hundred kilometers, the regions we seven occupy from the Unsinking Sea Domain exceed a hundred kilometers by far."
A hundred kilometers? Xia Feng's eye twitched, isn't it, you guys have a limitation on the distance your Spiritual Artifacts can travel?
But if it wasn't the Spiritual Artifact leaving the body to frame other players, could it be that Yophiel is really the Red King? Xia Feng was puzzled, looking at the Six-winged Angel opposite him.
Yophiel's expression remained indifferent, but he suddenly spoke: "Everyone, at the moment the Red King's location appeared, I had just escaped Lady Mi's pursuit by a few minutes, even if I were faster, it would be difficult to reach the Unsinking Sea Domain."
Speaking, he looked at the bare-chested strong man, "Zong Yue, you were the last to witness my fight with Lady Mi, wasn't it?"
The strong man nodded casually.
"So, who the Red King is, is very obvious."
As Yophiel's cold indifferent voice fell, everyone's eyes were firmly set on Xia Feng.
Xia Feng sighed secretly, alright, alright, Red King, you are impressive.
Under the Black Spade mask, he laughed lightly in a cold tone: "Feel free, if you truly believe I am the Red King, you may directly submit the 'guess result'."
The vote against the Red King divides into designation and guessing.
Designation refers to the public voting during the settlement phase, whoever holds the most votes receives the punishment.
Guessing means players privately speculate who the Red King is, submit the result, and if correct, receive a substantial reward, but you can only guess once.
Therefore, in a certain sense, 'designation' is not about guessing who the Red King is but voting to punish someone.
These players might not truly believe that Xia Feng is 100% the Red King, but given the overwhelming trend and evidence pointing to Xia Feng, they just go with it.
After all, as long as they don't suffer the punishment themselves, it's a good thing.
Everyone lowered their heads to operate on the panel, voting, but the result of the voting pattern would not be disclosed.
[Red King designation session ends——]
[You received eight votes, becoming the 'designated Red King' for the round, you are not the Red King, so no half earnings penalty is applied, but you are delayed in entering the Sumeru Realm by three minutes——]
[You have not yet made a guess, do you want to guess? (You can guess at any stage of the game progress, only once)]
[Note: If the first round guess is successful, a reward of 100 Ember Stones will be granted, each subsequent round will award progressively fewer Ember Stones——]
Though from his perspective, everyone else had alibis, Yophiel was most likely the Red King.
But Xia Feng felt something was off, so he didn't choose to guess.
After all, the opportunity to guess is only once, it's not a risk worth taking.
[About to return to the Sumeru Realm, entering the second round of the game, three seconds countdown, 3——]
[2...1——]
On the eight tall pillars, the eight figures simultaneously dimmed and vanished. Text acquired from M|V|LEMP&YR.
Xia Feng still stood on Pillar No. 9, temporarily unable to leave, he must wait three minutes before returning to continue the game.
Three minutes isn't long, but on the battlefield, sometimes just a few seconds can cause the situation to change dramatically.
For example, at this critical node of vying for the Basic Airdrop Treasure Box, with less than half a minute left, the treasure box will open!
Yophiel's soul returned to his body, the dazzling blue light of the treasure box flooded into his vision.
He did not hesitate, using Dao Thought domain to accelerate the array breaking speed, at the same time, he glanced at the distant black-robed man,
The black-robed man stood with his head down in place, yet to return.
Yophiel no longer cared about this ant, his pristine six wings flapped vigorously, and the transparent light layer outside the treasure box shattered with a crisp crack!
"Click——" the lock opened, and the box lid flipped up suddenly.
Inside the box, the light from eight cards flared freely.
