Chapter 184: Painted Skin!
Translator: MrJ_ Editor: Zayn_
Su Bai was slower by three seconds in checking out the list. A majority of the audience had already seen the list before Su Bai, it was the vote results.
Liu Tao was at first without a care. He felt that Su Bai definitely had the highest vote. He only wanted to check out how many votes Chen Yixin got. It should be four or five votes; it might even be higher, there was even a possibility of six.
Humans are all selfish. It’s their nature to destroy existences that pose a threat to them. If his target did not get the highest vote this time, then next time, there would be a high possibility he would continue to vote for her. Since he had taken action against her, if she was not dead, it was possible she would take revenge on him. Even though Chen Yixin did not know who voted for her.
Liu Tao trembled when he saw the vote results.
Su Bai had a high vote count, 8 votes. But there was another person who had a higher vote count than Su Bai. It was Chen Yixin. She had 9 votes.
Damn it! Su Bai’s vote count was actually lower than Chen Yixin!
How could this be!
Liu Tao took in deep breaths. He used one hand and rubbed his chin hard. He thought he had seen wrongly, but he was clear that it was impossible.
Xu Zhenzhen’s eyes went wide. She also did not believe that everything was true. Su Bai’s vote did not exceed Chen Yixin. Why was this so?
Xu Zhenzhen, in truth, knew the reason. This was because there were too many smart people… But reality gave a resounding slap to all these people including Xu Zhenzhen. There were times when it wasn’t a good thing to have too many smart people. Everyone had their own schemes, everyone had their own personal long-term consideration. When this type of group gathered together, the only outcome was that they would easily become…
Presumptuous.
Quite a number of people found the vote result to be inconceivable. Most of them chose between Su Bai and Chen Yixin. Only Qin Yang had one vote. It was unknown why Qin Yang would have a single fixed vote appear at every round.
When Su Bai slammed the table and laughed, the who atmosphere of the conference room instantly turned stifling to the level of collapse. A woman stood up.
She was Chen Yixin.
Chen Yixin’s gaze was filled with wrath. She did not vent her fury at Su Bai because she was clear that he had voted for her. It would not have turned the tides; it was those self-approbative fellas. They thought Su Bai would get the highest vote and die, it was those fellas who had not pulled out a nail and yet aimed at another nail.
Su Bai used his only arm to scratch his head, he then turned around and looked at Chen Yixin’s position in the middle. He was looking forward on how the next scene would play out.
En, which meant how would Chen Yixin die.
Towards this matter, the regulations of the story world were very creative.
A fuchsia whip appeared in Chen Yixin’s hand. She wanted to vent out, she wanted to whip someone. But when she took out her whip, she realized she couldn’t control her own body. The whip had started to fly towards her and it started to whip her.
Pain, agony!
It kept on whipping, Chen Yixin’s body started to be disfigured. Her bones started to slowly separate but the whipping continued. Very soon, Chen Yixin was whipped to death, but the whip kept on going inexhaustibly. It was using marvelous moves and was borrowing marvelous power.
In the end, Chen Yixin was still standing at the same spot but what was left was her skeleton. The flesh of her body was fully separated and piled on the floor.
This type of death was more exciting than Qian Lan’s method of death. It even caused Su Bai to faintly feel a sense of excitement. During the whipping just now, Su Bai moved his own hand imagining himself as an immature youth reigning the whip.
Some of the people couldn’t stand the scene of whipping the corpse and started to leave the conference room. The third round of voting had ended. With the addition of another corpse, the stench of blood over here grew thicker. Many people had no way of remaining there any longer.
In the end, only Su Bai and another man were still seated watching the whipping continue, slowly removing the remaining flesh on Chen Yixin’s skeleton.
There was still a little soy milk but it had turned cold. Su Bai was indifferent to it and finished it off. He then took out a cigarette and lit it.
It was as if he had received special treatment. After entering the story world, Su Bai did not see anyone else having cigarettes except himself. Every coat in his wardrobe had a pack of old style cigarettes.
Su Bai even guessed was it his prize for complete the reality task?
Dreadful Radio acknowledged his hard work in helping solve the reality task and awarded him the authority to smoke freely in the story world?
There was another person who was as psycho as himself admiring this scene. Su Bai knew this man was called Qin Yang.
It was a youth who looked very ordinary; ordinary looks, ordinary height, ordinary temperament. A person you would not have an impression on if you met him a second time. This type of person was the most pitiful in their careers, they were the people who would be total ignored and a character which could be done without.
“Bro, do you still have cigarettes?” Qin Yang waved at Su Bai.
Fine, he remembered Liu Tao had asked cigarettes from him last time. This time, another person turned up. Su Bai found it meaningful. Did Dreadful Radio give him cigarette bonus to use to mingle around?
Su Bai took out a few sticks and placed them on the table.
Qin Yang walked over and placed a stick on his mouth and the other two at his ear. His thumb gently scraped and the cigarette in his mouth was lit up.
“It’s still ongoing,” Qin Yang said as he turned around looked at Chen Yixin’s corpse that was being whipped and said.
“When we see her tomorrow, her skeleton will be extremely beautiful, pure, natural and sparkling just like an exquisite piece of art,” Qin Yang started describing.
Listening to this, Su Bai suddenly felt he had met a kindred spirit. Psychos and mentally deranged had many similarities in this secular world.
“I’m leaving, not going to continue watching. It’s meaningless.” Su Bai stood up and prepared to leave.
“I was overjoyed with what you did yesterday.” Qin Yang said from behind Su Bai. “That is why I purposely voted for her today and not you.”
“Thanks bro, I’ll treat you to a drink in the real world if I do not die here.” Su Bai waved his hand and walked out of the meeting room while Qin Yang continue to stand in the conference room looking at the soon-to-be art piece.
A few people were eating in the restaurant. Perhaps they simply ate a bit during breakfast. Since new food would be placed occasionally at the restaurant buffet, it was very fresh and delicious. Whoever who wanted to eat could come at any time.
Su Bai was in a good mood. He took a bottle of beer and finished it. He placed the beer bottle on the table and went back to his room without caring about the gazes of the others.
There was no one in the corridor. It could be said that they had returned to their own rooms. After escaping the jaws of death this time, Su Bai felt that it was a good thing to make full use of his time to enjoy the next day. His mental pressure had been alleviated by a lot. The probability of him going psycho in this short period was low.
The problem he had to face was that it was obvious that quite a number of people believed he would definitely have the highest number of votes, that’s why they had voted for Chen Yixin, increasing her exposure to be voted off during the next round. But the next round, these people would not make the same mistake again and would resolutely vote for him. He would be in peril during the next round, but who cares.
Su Bai walked to Chen Yixin’s room entrance by chance. His room was further ahead, but Su Bai suddenly halted his steps.
The scene where Chen Yixin was whipped to death appeared in Su Bai’s mind. Su Bai recalled the first time he met her, no, the first time he came in contact with Chen Yixin.
It was in Zhao Zhen’s room!
At that time, Chen Yixin was hiding in the wardrobe.
Su Bai’s thoughts unwittingly drifted. It was like he had caught hold of something important but it was still blurry.
He then looked around and after realizing there wasn’t anybody, Su Bai turned Chen Yixin’s doorknob and entered her room.
Chen Yixin’s room was exactly like Zhao Zhen’s. In truth, all the styles and decorations of all the rooms were the same. The only difference was the size of the clothing in the wardrobe. For example, Zhao Zhen was very short, that was why all his clothing were smaller.
Su Bai was not interested in checking out Chen Yixin’s bed, blanket or any other place. He stood right in front of her wardrobe.
After taking a deep breath, Su Bai looked at the wardrobe in front of him. He had a feeling that there would be a discovery. But he was also afraid of discovering something.
It was a contradicting emotion.
But there wasn’t a reason not to open it, right?
Su Bai reached out and pulled open the wardrobe. There were numerous clothing inside; there were men’s wear as well was female wear. This was not surprising because Su Bai’s wardrobe also had female wear. It must be the regulations of the story world taking care of the fetishes of certain people.
The problem was that the sizes of the clothing in Chen Yixin’s wardrobe was not the same.
Some of the clothes were extra large while some of them were extra small. Su Bai knitted his brow as he flipped through piece by piece. He was guessing in his heart whether this woman’s clothing, regardless of size, could be considered her style.
When Su Bai took out a dress he remembered seeing her wear on the first day, the plank his arm brushed shook. Right under Su Bai’s gaze, a piece of human skin fell from the wardrobe by Su Bai’s feet.
