Ai ShuQiao and the black holy infant's voices could be heard through the speakers.
"The effective voting time is five minutes." The black holy infant reminded us again. Then, it hid itself on the screen and replaced it with a countdown timer that kept decreasing.
"Choose me." I repeated the words I said before the glass cover came down, hoping they could read my lips.
The class leader closed her eyes as if she already had an answer in her mind. I reckon the class leader would vote for me since she was always full of sacrifice. Even if she had two votes, she would definitely vote for me both.
Ai Mi glared at Xiao Qin because she didn't get along with Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin glared back at Ai Mi, but she was afraid I would misunderstand, so she quickly turned around and said something to me. Unfortunately, I didn't learn lip-reading, so I couldn't read her lips.
My shouts couldn't reach Ai Mi's ears. She stared at Xiao Qin and refused to look away. In order to save me and herself, she might vote for Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin probably thought of this as well. She first looked at me, then at Ai Mi, then at the class leader, and finally at the decreasing number on the screen. She was in a dilemma.
"Hurry up and choose." Ai ShuQiao's voice came from the speakers, "There's only two and a half minutes left."
I suddenly had an idea — — we could talk to Ai ShuQiao right now, and Ai ShuQiao wasn't wearing headphones or a microphone, which meant she was communicating through the black holy infant's voice transmission system. The four of us couldn't communicate with each other, not only because of the soundproof glass cover, but also because the black holy infant was filtering in the middle. Otherwise, our voices would be transmitted back and forth through the speakers while we were talking to Ai ShuQiao.
Since that was the case, the two guards in the conference room could hear us. If I shouted a bit louder, Huo Jiangdong, who was standing guard outside the conference room, could also hear me.
Thus, I used a loud voice that almost tore my vocal cords and shouted at the top of my lungs: "Huo Jiangdong, don't be a coward! I know you're standing outside! "
"Xiao Qin is about to be injected with the black angel drug! You know how terrifying that drug is! Are you going to watch your sister get killed? Fuck! Are you even human! "
My sudden action made Ai ShuQiao reveal a surprised expression, she did turn her head to look outside the door, but she didn't seem worried.
"I, I don't, I'm not …"
Huo Jiangdong's hoarse voice came through the door slit. I could feel the pain in his voice. I cheered him on in my heart, hoping that he could overcome the power of the love potion.
"There are only two minutes left!" I roared. "If you don't come in, your sister is going to die!"
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Then, Huo Jiangdong's voice disappeared in my ears. The sudden silence made me feel an indescribable fear.
Ai ShuQiao turned her head back and smiled, "Did you hear that? Even though Huo Jiangdong is struggling in his heart, he would rather commit suicide than betray his love for me."
It's over! This was their last hope!
Although Xiao Qin couldn't hear me, she could hear the gunshots and Ai ShuQiao's words. She knew that her brother had probably died because of her. It was as if a part of her strength had been sucked away, and her soul became weak.
"One more minute." Ai ShuQiao coldly reminded, "If anyone gives up, then the person who dies is Ye Lin."
I saw the class leader move her lips and say two words. I knew it could only be her own name.
Ai Mi said a lot of worrisome things, and I didn't know who she chose.
Since Ai Mi stared at Xiao Qin fiercely when she voted, Xiao Qin received the double blow of Ai Mi and her brother's death. She looked at me, then at the class leader. Finally, when there was only one second left on the countdown, she closed her eyes and said a name as if she was guilty …
After everyone made their choice, the soundproof glass cover rose up. Ai ShuQiao seemed to be in a good mood, which gave me an ominous feeling.
The countdown on the screen reached zero, then it changed to the voting table. From top to bottom, it was me, Ai Mi, the class leader, and Xiao Qin. Our respective votes had not been added yet.
As if it was purposely torturing us, the black holy infant used a very slow animation to reveal the contents of the vote. But I wasn't worried when the panel behind my name flipped.
'Ye Lin's' vote was' Ye Lin ', I knew I voted for myself.
Next, Ai Mi's vote flipped open, and I sadly saw my worries become reality — — Ai Mi chose Xiao Qin.
"Not bad." Ai ShuQiao praised, "In order to save yourself and your brother, you must learn to sacrifice others. Otherwise, how will you continue my rule in the future?"
Ai Mi's entire body trembled, she lowered her head and gasped for breath. Her captain hat also fell to the ground. She didn't dare look at my eyes, nor did she dare look at Xiao Qin. Cold tears began to form in her eyes.
The victim, Xiao Qin, did not express any surprise, as if she had already predicted this situation.
But when Shu Sha's vote was revealed, Xiao Qin revealed an indescribable panic. She cried out: "Class leader, how can you not choose me? How can you continue to pretend you're not a bad second female character in a moment of life and death! I'm your rival in love! I even thought about sacrificing you on Angel Island! "
The class leader did not answer Xiao Qin. She closed her eyes like before, as if she had already accepted her fate.
The fact that Xiao Qin was panicking meant she was only half right. Ai Mi did choose her, but the class leader did not betray herself at a critical moment like the second female characters in shoujo manga.
The last blank space in the table was filled, and Xiao Qin's vote read 'Shu Sha'.
The class leader received two votes! I felt like my heart was about to split open — — how could I let the class leader die for me?
"Shu Sha, you could have been my daughter-in-law." Ai ShuQiao walked behind the class leader with a syringe in her hand, "Do you have any last words before you inject the Black Angel drug and die like Zheng Weizun?"
The class leader still had her eyes closed. When she heard her fate from Ai ShuQiao, she did not feel sad, nor did she complain. She only felt a sense of calmness without regret.
In the end, only the class leader and I chose ourselves in this game of torturing people's hearts. Does that count as tacit understanding?
"I'm sorry!" Xiao Qin tried to apologize to the class leader while she was tied to a chair, "I knew Ai Mi would choose me, but if I voted for Ai Mi, Ah Lin would hate me for the rest of his life regardless of whether Ai Mi received two votes in the end."
As she spoke, tears began to stream down her face.
"But if I voted for myself, I would be willing to sacrifice myself for Ah Lin. But then, you and Ye Lin classmate would become a family! I wouldn't be able to rest in peace even if I died! And I thought, I thought … even if you pretended to be friendly towards me all these years, at a time like this, you would at least be the second female character with bad intentions! "
"I don't blame you." The class leader opened her eyes and saw Xiao Qin crying her eyes out. Instead, she comforted her, "It doesn't matter even if you don't choose me. As long as no one gets two votes, Ye Lin will die."
The class leader paused, then she looked towards the direction of the conference room door and said: "I'm sorry about Huo Jiangdong. Xiao Qin, you definitely can't remain calm after losing a loved one."
"No! No! "Xiao Qin cried loudly," It has nothing to do with Huo Jiangdong! Even without him, I would still choose the class leader! I'm the second female character with bad intentions! Class leader, scold me! I'll feel better if you scold me! "
"Mom." Ai Mi asked with a trembling voice while holding onto a glimmer of hope, "Are you really going to inject drugs into Katyusha? You're just messing around with us, right? "
"No." Ai ShuQiao replied happily, "I never joke around."
Seeing that Xiao Qin was already crying to the point where she couldn't speak, the class leader looked towards me and said:
"Ye Lin … I can only entrust you to finish what I haven't finished yet. Please apologize to my parents, I haven't even been able to repay them for raising me. I've also asked you to take care of my brother, didn't you say you would make it up to him? "
"Isn't that …"
I was interrupted by the class leader. There were tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth had an indescribable smile mixed with shyness and pleading.
"Also, my pain tolerance might not be better than Zheng Weizun's. If I die in a very unseemly manner, please don't laugh at me …"
Why would I laugh at you? I'm about to cry right now!
"Mom, can you not kill her?" Ai Mi pleaded with fear in her blue eyes, "I'll continue to work like a horse for you, I won't eat cola or chips anymore! You can use me as a reward to entertain your important generals! My brother will never despise me! If Katyusha dies, I'm afraid my brother … "
Ai ShuQiao glanced at Ai Mi sternly, which made her daughter shut her mouth in fear.
"I didn't let you participate in this game to teach you the bullshit spirit of sacrifice! All of my subordinates love me madly, they won't be interested in other women! Klinger is currently researching how to disable your and Ye Lin's pheromones, that way neither of you will be able to 'convert'. "
"Execute Shu Sha!" The black holy infant urged with malicious pleasure, "She's the original personality of the virtual class leader. Other than Ye Lin, she's the second person I hate! Also, don't give her a tool to commit suicide, I want her to suffer and die in an extremely ugly manner in front of Ye Lin! "
The class leader raised her neck with a calm expression. Her long black hair swayed gently under the breeze of the air conditioner, as if she had stood at the window countless times.
"Ye Lin already promised not to laugh at me, so I'm not afraid. Also, you just reminded me that I still have a virtual personality on the top floor of the monarch building … she'll accompany Ye Lin in my place. "
"Are you done with your last words?" Ai ShuQiao lifted the class leader's hair impatiently and planned to inject the Dark Angel Poison into her neck.
