"A new passerby will be generated in this round. All participants, please gather in room 4."

As the broadcast ended, the originally closed door was pushed open by a big hand, and a pair of eyes stared into the dim cabin.

The sound of waves is still heard outside the cruise ship, and white clouds are floating leisurely in the sky.

In room 4, Mingyue raised the corners of her lips slightly and looked at Lei beside her. "Do you think it was the white horse that became a passerby, or the lion that became a passerby, or someone else?"

"White Horse." Lei glanced at the door of Room 4 and saw Bourbon rushing over.

"What if he finds a chair?" Mingyue saw Bourbon's steps gradually slowing down, but his chest was still heaving violently. Her gaze moved to the pair of hands wrapped in gauze, and when she saw that the gauze was still snow-white, she withdrew her gaze.

At this point, the bunny girl begins distributing voting envelopes for this round to participants.

"Who will you vote for this round?" Lei's eyes fell on the ballot in Mingyue's hand.

Mingyue circled the letter "I" in front of Lei Yi, then put it in the envelope and said with a smile, "Of course, I'm going to vote for Mr. Red Fox."

Lei didn't say anything more and also circled the letter "I".

Bourbon walked quickly to Rye's side and happened to see this scene. Before he could catch his breath, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are you two strangers?"

"Yeah, have you hidden your chair? We saw a lot of chairs being damaged, whether they were numbered or not." Mingyue's eyes swept over the gauze on Bourbon's hand again. The gauze was clean, and the wound should not have split.

"I know." Bourbon's eyes swept over Mingyue. Seeing that she was safe and sound, his heartbeat gradually calmed down. Then he looked at Lei, "Will you follow her in the next game?"

"Hmm." Rye asked quietly when he saw Scotland appear at the door of Room 4, "Is her bargaining chip in the hands of Owl?"

Bourbon nodded, but he keenly noticed that Lei seemed to have something else to say. Could it be that Mingyue was planning something that they didn't know about?

"Where's the owl?" Lei looked around. The other participants had arrived in Room 4 one after another, but there was no sign of the evil puppeteer. He couldn't help but frown.

Scotland replied in a low voice: "Maybe it's because of the distance and he hasn't made it back yet."

"Maybe he's looking for a chair. I didn't tell him where I hid the chair." Bourbon saw the fat, bearded Lily twisting her body, pushing through the crowd and walking in, but she didn't see the baboon that had been following him.

Time passed minute by minute, and even the underworld princess Mafia Karen, holding a blind stick, had entered room 4, but the evil puppeteer was nowhere to be seen.

The parrot girl stood beside the underworld princess Mafia Karen, and her eyes met with the hedgehog-haired man on a white horse. She noticed the scrutiny in the other's eyes and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Sakakibara, wearing a white snake mask, noticed the change in the white horse man's attitude towards the mafia and slowly walked over to him.

"Participants who have not voted please vote as soon as possible." The host, the birthday boy, looked around.

At this time, the big-backed baboon hurried over. He quickly looked around, then ran straight to the bearded Lili, bent down and whispered a few words. Then Mingyue noticed that the bearded Lili's face gradually became gloomy.

"The voting is about to end." The man in the red fox mask looked at the gray wolf. "Some people didn't come. What do you think about this?"

Scotland frowned slightly and looked around. He didn't see the Sinful Puppet Master or the Apocalypse Cult's Yellow Ox Girl. A sense of unease filled his heart, and he whispered back, "I'm not sure, but I guess they might have given up the vote this round because they wanted to protect the chair."

The man in the red fox mask glanced at the brown bear Jeffrey Dahmer, who was surrounded by a group of admirers, and said in a low voice, "If he keeps wreaking havoc like this, the game will probably be over soon."

"Yeah." Scotland took a deep breath and turned to look at Mingyue beside Lei, but found that the orange pig woman in a black robe was walking towards them. His heart almost rose to his throat.

"Excuse me, did you see..." The orange pig woman suddenly paused, looked at the gray rabbit and asked, "Did you see the yellow cow? She seemed to be with you before."

Mingyue keenly sensed the hidden meaning in the orange-pig woman's words. "Didn't you call her away? Why is she asking me again? Actually, after the music started, I did meet her in the corridor, but..."

"Just what?" The orange pig woman could only feel her heart pounding in her chest.

"She left in a hurry after just a few words." Mingyue looked around and said with a smile, "She also said she wanted to talk to me alone, but she hasn't come to Room 4 yet. I was wondering what task you assigned her, and why she didn't even come to vote?"

"Don't ask too much about our affairs." The orange pig woman said and turned to leave, but the fists clenched in her sleeves were shaking slightly.

Mingyue watched the orange-pig woman's receding figure, only to notice that her steps were a little unsteady. Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She looked up and met Lei's gaze, and whispered, "It seems something has happened that we don't know about."

"Don't leave my side." Lei still had a cold face.

"Come to think of it, the raccoon didn't come back here before he disappeared." Mingyue fiddled with the chips in her hand. "If we want to avoid being eliminated, we have to find a way to get more chips. Maybe we can make a difference in the next vote."

Lei did not respond, but just looked at Mingyue calmly, but was guessing in his heart what Mingyue would do next.

Mingyue held her chin in her hand, pretending to be deep in thought. "If someone comes to you on their own or someone else comes to you to beg you, the negotiation situation will be different."

"What do you want to do?" Lei didn't think De Mingyue would tell him her whole plan.

"Of course I will give the votes to whoever gives me the chips. After all, we can only advance based on the chips." After saying that, Mingyue tugged at Lei's sleeve and motioned him to squat down.

Lei squatted down doubtfully, but kept an eye on Mingyue and the others' movements, guarding against any unexpected incidents.

Mingyue leaned close to Lei's ear and whispered, "Who do you think will be the winner of this game?"

"Owl?" Rye asked tentatively.

"He's not here. Maybe he's just like the raccoon." Mingyue glanced at Bourbon, who was standing against the wall at the door of Room 4. "Who do you think was the murderer who dismembered the body before and burned it last time? Why did he do this? He could have avoided being discovered, but he made such a big noise."

Lei still had a cold face, and even if it weren't blocked by the black wolf mask, no expression could be seen on his face.

At this moment, the host, the birthday boy, finished counting the votes and announced loudly, "This round, Brown Bear has 1 vote, Miss Lion has 5 votes, Mr. Red Fox has 5 votes, and Mr. Baboon..."
