On the other side of Room 4, the man in the red fox mask frowned, and the smiling tabby cat girl stood next to him.

"Hehe, my suggestion is not bad."

"That's right." The man in the red fox mask looked the tabby cat girl up and down. "Did you come up with this on your own, or did someone instruct you to say this?"

Hearing this, the tabby cat girl immediately became angry. She put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly: "You are insulting my IQ! I am helping you with good intentions, but you actually speculate about me like this. If you don't want to, just pretend that I never looked for you." After that, the tabby cat girl turned around and prepared to leave.

The man in the red fox mask calmly asked, "Besides me, who do you think will be the one to decide this round?"

"The last round was a tie. I can find two other people. They are no worse than you." The tabby cat girl raised her chin.

"That was last round. We may not even vote this time." The man with the red fox mask looked around, finally his gaze fell in the direction of the gray rabbit. He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "Now the lion has become a passerby..."

The tabby cat girl rolled her eyes, guessing what the red fox masked man was thinking. She interrupted with dissatisfaction, "Isn't there a rule that a passerby can't be the one making the decision?"

The man in the red fox mask turned and glanced in the direction of the black-robed man. Seeing the overweight man there, he turned back to look at the tabby cat girl who was about to leave but hesitated. "It's true that there's no such rule, but the baboon doesn't seem to have returned here. Do you think he'll be the one in charge?"

"Nothing is impossible." The tabby cat girl looked meaningfully at the gray rabbit and his group not far away. "If they don't vote for you, you won't be able to become the boss, but I have a way to make sure you always be the boss."

"But from now on, I have to listen to you about which chair to delete." The man with the red fox mask looked at the tabby cat girl.

"Don't worry, I will choose the kind of chair that won't cause offense to others even if it is deleted. After all, I want you to be the winner of this game." The tabby cat girl played with the chip engraved with the letter "I".

"For example, this round, you want me to remove chair number 17." The man in the red fox mask looked at the chair in the center of the field. Lion had originally planned to sit on it, but unexpectedly, the chair was surrounded by the black-robed men. Due to the rules of the game that prohibited violence, Lion had to give up and find another chair. Similarly, the other participants began to be wary of these seemingly weak black-robed cultists.

The tabby cat girl nodded. "That Miss Lion has become a passerby, and her chair is useless. Deleting it is just a matter of a word for you, and it won't offend anyone. Why not do it?"

Hearing this, the man in the red fox mask fell into deep thought. It was not that the tabby cat girl's suggestion was bad, but that the tabby cat girl's suggestion was too good, so good that it made him feel uneasy.

However, this also confirmed that the tabby cat girl in front of him did not know what happened in Room 4 not long ago, otherwise she would have said something like "Delete chair No. 17, Miss Lion might thank you."

However, just as the man in the red fox mask hesitated, the image of the dead black goat man appeared before his eyes. For a moment, it seemed as if he were from another world, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared like smoke.

He took a deep breath and looked at the tabby cat girl, thinking that he might be able to trust her, but he said, "It's not impossible to cooperate, but I don't want the chair in my hand to be deleted."

"Okay, I'll give you three numbers later, and you can choose one of them." The tabby cat girl raised three fingers as she spoke. Her eyes sparkled, and she looked determined to win. She emphasized again, "I want you to be the winner."

The man in the red fox mask chuckled. "We don't know how many rounds this will last. Are you sure I'll be the boss every round?"

"At least, neither you nor I want to be eliminated." The tabby cat girl glanced at the brown bear Jeffrey Dahmer chewing a bloody steak in the distance and whispered, "If I have the chance, I want him dead."

"You can't kill him." The red fox masked man's voice was calm, but his nails were deeply embedded in his palms. The pain kept him calm and rational.

The tabby cat girl shrugged. "You're right. I'm afraid of him. I don't even dare to look him in the eye. Sitting next to him, I don't even dare to make a sound. But as long as he's alive, I feel uncomfortable."

The man in the red fox mask looked at the tabby cat girl in front of him, who was folding her arms. "How do you want to kill him? Using the rules, or using someone else's hands?"

"Will you help me, Mr. Red Fox?" The tabby cat girl tilted her head and looked at the man with the red fox mask. Her eyes were filled with emotions that the man with the red fox mask could not understand.

"If you just quit the game, he will probably..."

The tabby cat girl sneered and interrupted the red fox masked man, "If I quit the game and don't block his way, I can live safely to the end? If that's the case, I would have quit the game long ago, but I can't quit like this." After saying that, the tabby cat girl pointed at the white snake gentleman who had just voted.

The man in the red fox mask suddenly felt something was wrong, and a feeling of unease surged in his heart.

"I've worked with that doctor before. His style of operation is somewhat different from others." The tabby cat girl leaned over to the man wearing the red fox mask and whispered softly, "I've received intelligence that there are Japanese police officers on this cruise ship."

The tabby cat girl took a step back after saying this, putting some distance between herself and the red fox masked man. She smiled and asked, "I'm sure our future cooperation will go smoothly."

The man in the red fox mask felt a thin layer of sweat on his back. For a moment, he wondered how much information the tabby cat girl before him had mastered. His heart beat faster than usual. He didn't know how much the tabby cat knew, perhaps this was just a trivial test.

"Why are you telling me this?" The man in the red fox mask turned his gaze away from the tabby cat girl and looked around at the people around him, as if he was looking for something.

The tabby cat girl rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Nothing, I'll go vote first." After that, the tabby cat girl shook the ballot in her hand. The letter "I" on the paper was circled several times, making it look particularly obvious.

The man in the red fox mask nodded, his unease growing. He watched the tabby cat girl walk toward the ballot box, then slowly unclenched his clenched fists, leaving several crescent-shaped marks on his palms. He suddenly heard footsteps nearby, and turning quickly, he saw a familiar mask.

"What's wrong?" Bourbon walked up to the man in the red fox mask and saw that he looked serious.

"Nothing." The man in the red fox mask quickly adjusted his expression. He turned to look at the tabby cat girl who was putting an envelope into the ballot box and asked softly, "Mr. Siamese Cat, do you know that tabby cat lady?"

Bourbon followed the red fox masked man's gaze...
