Bai Youwei felt frustrated.
She was number 3, which meant she could only receive a maximum of two clues!
The Ghost identity seemed advantageous, allowing alliances with any team. However, it was actually the most dangerous. Without a word, it was easy to become the target of a vote-out due to an inaccurate description.
Number 1 was a slovenly old man, the kind of idle, good-for-nothing who shirked work and chores, preferring to wander around bragging and living a muddled life.
These types could usually talk about anything and everything when they had nothing to do, but clammed up the moment something important arose.
The Overseer said, "Number 1, have you figured out how to describe it to your friends?"
Number 1 stammered, "Uh… this, this… it's often used at home."
—Ding!
A clear chime suddenly rang out, like the confirmation of an Enter key after inputting text. A line of words floated above Number 1's head: "Often used at home."
Everyone stared at him.
Number 1 jumped, startled. "Wh-what are you all looking at me for?"
He looked up and then touched his head, finding nothing.
"Number 2, please describe the phrase on your card," the Overseer said.
Number 2 was a thin, frail woman, the type who endured abuse from her in-laws and husband, yet lacked the courage to resist. When neighbors or friends offered help, she would blame them for making a big fuss and harming her, then return to her family to wallow in self-pity.
Uncle Zhao had a sharp eye; the people he chose were mostly detrimental to social harmony.
Number 2 was terrified, her frail body trembling. She stammered, "…Used more in the summer… it's… it's… something you can hold in your hand and wipe…"
Her voice abruptly cut off.
Number 2 suddenly vanished! Right before everyone's eyes, she disappeared without a trace!
The Overseer announced, "Number 2 violated the rules by revealing the word and is automatically eliminated. The words will now be reassigned. Please confirm the new phrases you have received."
Bai Youwei furrowed her brow, flipping over her card and looking at it again.
Bai Youwei: "…"
She looked at the Overseer in speechless silence.
He still wore that same fake smile, his blue eyes full of mischief.
She suddenly wanted to ask if the game rules allowed the Overseer to target players like this.
Why was her card still blank?! Was she the Ghost for two rounds in a row???
The Overseer said, "Number 1, please describe your phrase."
Number 1, with a mournful face, opened his mouth and said, "It's something to eat…"
He paused, then added uncertainly, "But you can't actually eat it."
—Ding!
Two lines of words floated above Number 1's head:
"It's something to eat."
"But you can't actually eat it."
Bai Youwei: "…"
The Overseer looked at Bai Youwei and said cheerfully, "Number 3, please describe your phrase."
Number 2 had been eliminated, so after Number 1, it was Bai Youwei's turn.
Bai Youwei pursed her lips.
Number 1's first sentence, saying it was something to eat, indicated that his first association with the word was food. As for the second sentence, it was likely meant to cover a loophole and prevent misunderstanding.
For example, eating a coconut was actually drinking; eating betel nut was actually chewing.
Regardless of the word, they all shared a common characteristic—
Bai Youwei calmly stated, "It can be bought in many supermarkets."
—Ding!
A line of words floated above Bai Youwei's head:
"It can be bought in many supermarkets."
Of course, she couldn't see these words.
She had been observing everyone's reactions.
After noticing that the people present didn't react much to her description, she knew her deduction was correct.
Very good…
Next, she just needed to calmly listen to the remaining seven descriptions. With her intelligence, she wasn't afraid of not being able to deduce the phrases.
After all, she had played similar games before.
