Everyone had never been so eager for the sound of the system.
The voting results were announced: the Ruler was voted to be killed by the King, the Werewolf, the Doctor, the Prophet, the Jiang Shi, the Chef, the Destroyer, and the Thief. The King received the most votes, and disciplinary action would now commence!
All eyes were filled with anticipation.
However, the Ruler was defeated. The reason for the defeat: the King was already dead. The game continued!
This outcome was unexpected.
How could this happen? Qi Qiuluo shouted.
Could it be that Li Yan activated the King? But wasn't Li Yan dead? Li Jianping was puzzled.
No! Tan Ming and Yan Qing said in unison.
Li Yan didn't have time to activate the King.
The Red Card doesn't belong to Li Yan, Tan Ming asserted confidently.
His assumption was wrong.
If the card belonged to Li Yan, how could he have buried it so deep?
Li Yan couldn't do that.
Then, there was only one possibility left.
Whose Red Card is it? Fan Xiaonan asked.
Yan Qing and Tan Ming exchanged glances. Yan Qing said, "The Red Card belongs to Wang Xiaoyan; she is the true King!"
But Wang Xiaoyan is already dead! The system also stated that the King was dead; how could we proceed with voting? Fan Xiaonan was anxious.
Yan Qing looked at Mei Cheng Shu; perhaps Wang Xiaoyan still...
Before he could finish his sentence, a thud echoed through the air.
Mei Cheng Shu trembled, dust swirling around.
The fragrant scent of plums wafted in.
The roots, half-exposed after being unearthed, spread up from the ground like agile ropes, twisting and extending in every direction. It angrily questioned, "Are you trying to harm me?"
Mei Cheng Shu spoke, and the voice belonged to Wang Xiaoyan.
Fan Xiaonan was momentarily stunned. "Can you understand what we are saying?" Yan Qing asked.
Mei Cheng Shu was furious, declaring that there was not a single good thing about humanity! Its roots lashed out like long whips, striking them forcefully.
"Ah!" Qi Qiuluo cried out in pain as she was hit.
"Wang Xiaoyan, you are Wang Xiaoyan!" Yan Qing shouted loudly.
Mei Cheng Shu paused its movement. Just then, the system's voice echoed once more. "Detected the King; proceeding with disciplinary action!"
In the next moment, Mei Cheng Shu ignited in flames.
"No! No!" A woman's voice cried out in anguish. The tree seemed to writhe in pain, its roots thrashing violently against the ground. Tan Ming and Yan Qing were closest and nearly got injured; they both stepped back but unexpectedly, Yan Qing got entangled by a tree root and hung suspended in mid-air. Tan Ming tightly grasped Yan Qing's hand, both of them dangling helplessly above the ground.
"Yan Qing!"
"Tan Ming!"
Qi Qiuluo thought to herself that Mei Cheng Shu wouldn’t die without taking two more with it, would it?
Smoke dissipated! Mei Cheng Shu did not passively wait to be burned alive; it was capable of self-rescue. However, this time its messenger tool had the opposite effect—the flames on its body blazed even fiercer.
But as she spoke those words, everyone affected by the Messenger Tool collapsed to the ground. Their memories became jumbled. Before Tan Ming fainted, he touched the ground and chose to replace Mei Cheng Shu with the Red Card. However, Tan Ming's Messenger Tool also malfunctioned. He replaced Mei Cheng Shu but was in turn replaced by someone else. After replacing Mei Cheng Shu, Tan Ming also took on her Disciplinary Action, and the memory chaos caused by the Messenger Tool left him with a severe headache.
