Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Doctor Xu Takes the Abstract Approach

"An animal wedding?"

Listening up to this point, Liang He already knew she was the undercover agent. She wanted to find her teammate, but there wasn’t a single clue to go on.

"Before this event happens, it’s best to write something down."

Huo An’s statement was quite clever. A funeral required a will, whereas a wedding required vows.

After one round, other than the undercover agents themselves, there was surprisingly no clear target.

"Everyone is being very cunning this round."

Determined to win a round back, Xu Yi curled his lips. His gaze was fixed on everyone, trying to observe from their facial expressions who the undercover agent was. "I think Silver Shuttle’s statement was the vaguest. We should vote for him!"

Since there was no clear target, he might as well pick a random unlucky guy. Silver Shuttle was that unlucky guy.

"Are you kidding me? You guys are going too far! I’m a commoner!" Silver Shuttle, who had originally wanted to make a beautiful comeback, was immediately displeased. "Well, I don’t think Doctor Xu’s statement was accurate either. Why don’t you guys pick on him?!"

As a veterinarian, Xu Yi had saved many animals, but he had also experienced situations where he couldn’t save them. It seemed perfectly reasonable for him to hold a funeral for dead animals. But an animal wedding didn’t seem completely impossible, either.

"Hey! Little Shuozi, don’t drag me down with you just because you think you can’t escape, okay?" Xu Yi wasn’t having it; he still wanted to make a comeback himself!

In the blink of an eye, the allies who had shared a common enemy in the last game became enemies biting at each other in this one.

"Whatever! Let’s vote out Silver Shuttle first, and then vote out Xu Yi in the next round!"

"Agreed!"

Just like that, despite his futile protests, Silver Shuttle became the first one eliminated.

Next was a new round of statements, still starting with Liang He.

"Doing this requires throwing a banquet for guests."

No problem there. Next.

"Before this event, I need to bathe and burn incense."

As the Holy Daughter, she naturally had rules to follow when presiding over a funeral. Very good. Next.

"Whenever participating in this kind of event, everyone’s emotions are very consistent."

Weddings were joyous, and funerals were sorrowful. Hoder’s words were actually a bit ambiguous, too.

"Formal attire is required."

In the interstellar era, both weddings and funerals required formal attire, except weddings didn’t have color requirements for the suits. Lan Zhuo was actually being a bit evasive as well. If he was the undercover agent, he was hiding it well.

"My turn? Hehe, my parents once almost had to plan this for me."

"Huh?"

As soon as Xu Yi said this, most of the people present fell silent. They didn’t know whether to say his parents were open-minded, or that it was pitiful he had almost lost his life. Oh, there was another possibility—he was the undercover agent!

"My parents would not plan this," Huo An spoke coldly, his eyes downcast. There was an indescribable sadness about him, but it flashed by so quickly that no one noticed except Liang He.

The second person eliminated was Xu Yi. He couldn’t blame anyone else; he could only blame himself for being too abstract.

"The game isn’t over yet?"

As eliminated players, they could check both the undercover agent’s word and the commoners’ word to determine if the game would continue. Restricted by the rules, they couldn’t reveal whether they were undercover agents or how many undercover agents were left. They could only tell them the game wasn’t over.

"Tsk, this is tricky now. Could it be Lan Zhuo or the Holy Daughter?"

Hoder scanned the room. Unable to find the next target to attack, he was already starting to guess randomly. In the end, after he led the charge and colluded with Liang He and Huo An to eliminate the other two, the game announced its end.

"Game over!"

The moment he heard the game was over, Hoder jumped right up. "Awesome! I really am the smartest!"

"...The undercover agents win!"

Silver Shuttle immediately grabbed Hoder, leaned in close, and roared into his ear to wake him up.

"Huh? Didn’t we win?"

Even at this moment, Hoder still hadn’t realized what happened until Liang He and Huo An revealed their cards.

"Holy crap! You two are the undercover agents?!" So everyone he had just voted out were actually his teammates?!

"I told you we weren’t! But you guys just had to vote us out. Are you stupid?!" Silver Shuttle furiously started scolding Hoder for blindly accusing people and letting the undercover agents win.

And Xu Yi, who had been dragged down by him, wasn’t pleased either, rolling his eyes at Silver Shuttle. "Who are you getting an attitude with? If you hadn’t accused me just now, I wouldn’t have been eliminated so quickly."

"Hey! Xu Yi, I have to stand up for Silver Shuttle on this one. Your elimination had absolutely nothing to do with him."

Who would have thought that Xu Yi, after drawing the word ’funeral’, would actually talk about how his parents almost held a funeral for him?!

"Well, I really almost died when I was little. I clearly said ’almost’!"

Unconvinced, Xu Yi started bickering with Hoder. While they argued enthusiastically, Liang He and Huo An, the two victorious undercover agents, happily faded into the background and started eating.

They had originally planned to ask if anyone wanted to play Werewolf, but the argument dragged on too long. Seeing that the fluffy little ones were starting to doze off, Liang He led them back to the dormitories to rest first.

"I’m tired today too. I’ll go back to my room and rest first."

With Liang He gone, Silver Feather found it boring to stay with a bunch of men, so she simply returned to her room.

After Xu Yi and the others finished bickering, they grabbed Huo An and Lan Zhuo, refusing to let them leave. With exactly five people, they teamed up to play video games.

"Alright, everyone stand nicely. Let’s wipe your faces and paws clean before getting into bed."

Although Liang He loved snuggling up with the fluffballs to sleep, that didn’t mean she could accept them getting into bed while filthy. Especially since they had been playing like crazy outside all day. The little guys had also gotten quite involved when they were burning firewood in the activity room, so it was inevitable that they were covered in soot.

"Cedriel is so good! Alright, you can go pick your spot now."

Liang He capitalized on the fluffballs’ desire to snag a good spot. The earlier a fluffball cooperated, the earlier they could choose their position.

"AWOO~"

Compared to the other fluffballs who were afraid of water, the Mojin King Tiger unapologetically became the first good boy to get wiped clean and hop into bed. Seeing the Mojin King Tiger pick the spot closest to Liang He, the other fluffballs grew anxious. They scrambled to line up, terrified that if they were late, they would only get to sleep on the edge.

"MEOW~ MEOW!"

The Mengji Snow Leopard, who was the fastest to react, was originally standing first in line, but the fast-flying Canglan Hunting Eagle cut him off. He shrieked in anger.

"Alright, alright, don’t be mad. Both Kuang Ye and Lanton are very good boys." Liang He had already grown accustomed to the fluffballs’ occasional ’open and secret rivalries’. They were all her darlings, so she couldn’t show favoritism and could only coax them. "How about this? You two can pick your spots at the same time, okay?"

Cedriel had only taken one of the spots near her, so Lanton and Kuang Ye still had room to choose.

"MEOW~"

"SCREECH~"

The fluffballs very sensibly agreed to Liang He’s arrangement. After she finished cleaning up the Mengji Snow Leopard and the Canglan Hunting Eagle, the two of them each claimed a spot.

Seeing that they hadn’t started fighting again, Liang He breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she wiped the faces and paws of the Platinum Giant Lion and the Iron-eating Beast.

"Good thing our Jiao Jiao has a peaceful personality, otherwise I really wouldn’t know what to do."

The last spot at the foot of the bed was taken by the Platinum Giant Lion, leaving the Iron-eating Beast to just find a random place to lie down. To comfort him, Liang He would snuggle into his embrace for a while before going to sleep.

"Wow, Liang He, you look like you’re lying on a giant plushie!"
