"Fewer votes for number 14 than last ti. I'm glad you're all changing your minds." The woman clapped as she glanced at Neraxis. "I think you should co up again, as my partner was unfortunately eliminated."
"Sure," Neraxis replied with a fake smile as he jumped up, deciding to reveal so information.
"I'm an Oracle, and each round, I'm able to get so hints regarding this trial," Neraxis announced, earning suspicious gazes from all around. "I'm no leader, but I can, at the very least, tell you what I've seen."
He cleared his throat and began reciting the oracle ssages.
"In round four, I was notified that the Whisperer's number is in the double digits, aning you can clear all the single-digit numbers for the ti being," Neraxis stated, narrowing his eyes. "And the latest oracle I got was that in the last round, soone was lying."
—Lying? But who could it be?
—It's obviously number 14. Just look at him!
—But what if it's the Warden...?
He caused so conflict, just as he intended.
During that conflict, it would be much easier to extract information and double-check whether or not his suspicions were correct.
And like he thought, except for the few people who were relatively calm, the others were freaking out.
Of course, the calm ones in question were Liam and two others who were both single digits.
"You know... that announcent puts in a bad spot because of how you worded it," the woman whispered, causing Neraxis to shrug.
"It's almost like I didn't intend to make it sound like that," he replied flatly and looked directly into her golden eyes. "It's you, isn't it? You're the Whisperer?"
"I'm not," she said, shaking her head. "But I can tell you one thing—you're making a mistake."
Neraxis raised a brow, amused. "I guess we'll see in a few monts."
Finally, the panic was interrupted by the ssages.
"Well, well, well." A playful voice rang out behind him, belonging to number 25.
He turned around and was t with her crazed look.
But it wasn't directed toward him; instead, it was directed at Liza.
"You're the Warden, right? I'm sure you can start the vote now. It's obvious who the Whisperer is, isn't it?" she said, her tone sounding convincing.
After all, from an outsider's perspective, Neraxis did just slaughter everyone here to save his own ass.
"Y-You're right... I can start the vote." Liza nodded sheepishly as she began clicking in the air.
In the next mont...
Not even half a second later, he already had his first vote.
It was none other than number 25.
Just as he noticed Liza reaching for the button to vote, Neraxis stepped in front of her.
"Wait a second."
"M-Move!" Liza tried pushing him aside but couldn't.
Sadly, there was no tir, so he couldn't hold her hostage until then.
Instead, he had to figure out a way to convince her.
"Liza, I..."
