Chapter 94 Probability of 67

Chapter 94 Six out of seven probability

"Not necessarily," Fibel said coldly. "The witch's abilities and your identity card abilities don't necessarily conflict. In fact, in my opinion, this is the perfect ability for a witch."

Emily can make a potion to help others become immune to voting executions, but the rules don't say she can't use it on herself.

She can also make herself a special potion, and the two do not conflict with each other. In other words, she can completely make herself immune to two votes of execution.

Even if her identity is exposed, she can still win the game by stalling for time, making her an ability perfectly suited for a witch.

The same applies to Sherry. Although Sherry is more capable than Emily, no one is willing to suspect her because of her overly eccentric personality.

"I—I really am not—" Emily's voice choked with emotion.

Lilith reached out and took her hand. Their fingers intertwined, supporting each other as if encouraging one another.

"I'll prove it." Lilith raised her head, a hint of courage in her eyes.

"Tonight I will use my abilities to investigate Emily. If she is a witch, I will tell you. If she is a judge, I will tell you too."

"And what about yourself?" Isabel's voice rang out again, sharp and direct. "Who's investigating you?"

Lilith fell silent.

"What if a witch isn't afraid of detection?" Sherry suddenly asked, deep in thought. "For example, what if a witch's power is that no other ability can reveal her true identity?"

"In this way, no matter who Lilith investigates, she will be the judge and will never be able to find the real witch."

Hearing her say that, Lilith's face turned even uglier.

If that's the case, then my abilities are completely useless and just for show.

"Personally, I think that's unlikely," Li Ang said. "If the witch really has such abilities, then this game has never been fair from the start. We don't need to investigate or vote; we can just wait to be killed off one by one by the witch."

Judging from the current trajectory of this game, there is at least a general, relatively fair set of rules at play.

Based on what Helena said earlier, it can be inferred that unless the president himself plays in his place, everyone must follow the rules, including the witch herself.

Therefore, it seems that Lilith's Miss Truth ability cannot be fake, and the witch would not have the ability to block detection.

From a certain perspective, Sherry couldn't possibly be a witch. Because if she were a witch, it would conflict with the rules of voting to find the witch.

But he didn't tell everyone what Helena had told him; he simply went through the logic, presenting the possibility to everyone and letting them judge for themselves.

"Li Ang is right." Eloi's voice came from the head of the table, neither too loud nor too soft, like a judge striking a gavel.

"If we can't even trust our verification capabilities, then there are no rules in this game. So, until new evidence is found, I choose to trust Lilith for now."

At this moment, Shirley raised her hand, her expression full of curiosity, "Um—I have a question, what exactly does Emily's potion look like? Can we see it?"

Everyone stared at Emily as she pulled a small, dark brown glass bottle from her pocket. The bottle's mouth was sealed with black wax, which had no markings on it. The bottle itself was opaque, making it impossible to see what was inside.

She placed the bottle on the table and gently pushed it to the center of the round table with her fingers.

"This is what suddenly appeared in my cell last night. I can sense it. The only thing to do is drink it."

"Sigh." Li Ang looked at the brown bottle and sighed.

Unfortunately, this thing only provides immunity to execution, not immunity to being killed; otherwise, it would definitely be a crucial tool. Now, it's just a useless item—tasteless to use, but a pity to throw away.

"So Lilith's suspicion is temporarily ruled out?" Boudica asked.

"For now," Isabel said, her tone still cold and hard.

"That narrows down the suspect pool even further." Boudica leaned back in her chair.

"But there are still a lot," Fibel said.

Even if we temporarily rule out Lilith as a suspect, there are still eight people who can vote, and the probability of choosing the witch is still one in eight.

"So we need more information." Aloy turned to Leon. "Leon, you and Charlotte were gone for so long, and you even called Helena out. You didn't just go to the bathroom, did you?"

Looking into Eloi's eyes, framed by silver-rimmed glasses, Li Ang instantly realized that Eloi was testing him to see if he had taken any other actions.

"I was trying to see if I could bribe the staff, but unfortunately I failed," Li Ang said, spreading his hands in feigned helplessness.

"Really?" Fibel asked, somewhat skeptical.

She had noticed something amiss when the three entered, especially the woman named Helena, whose gaze towards Li Ang seemed strange.

If at the beginning, the other party's gaze towards Li Ang carried a hint of reluctance and helplessness, then at this moment, the other party's gaze towards Li Ang carried a hint of impatience.

She is very confident in her judgment.

Despite being in this prison and having her memories all jumbled up, she could still discern the general thoughts contained in other people's micro-expressions and eyes at a glance.

"Yes. Don't believe me? Ask her." Leon gestured for Helena to speak.

"I am a neutral unit, and I am only responsible for counting your votes. Even if you come to me, I can't help you escape from here."

Helena was telling the truth. She couldn't directly help Li Ang escape from here, but she did have the ability to help him.

For example, the voting process is anonymous, and no one knows who others voted for, but she does, and she can tell Li Ang that.

"Heh." Fibel chuckled and fell silent.

"Since everyone is unsure who to vote for, I have a suggestion." To divert everyone's attention, Li Ang changed the subject.

"Since the witch's card doesn't have a label, and there are so many other suspects besides Lilith, how about we vote for Sherry today?"

"Huh!?" Shirley was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening, before she realized, "Sure! Anyway, I'm a free citizen, I won't be executed for voting."

"9

"No way," Caltacia retorted immediately. "If the vote is invalid for you, what's the point of voting?"

"The point is to eliminate one option," Eloi said after a moment's thought. "Sherry won't die if she's voted out, and theoretically, the witch is chosen through voting. In other words, if she is the witch, the game is over, but she won't be executed."

"

"Then we might as well exclude her too and choose from the remaining people," Caltacia said, looking annoyed.

"I disagree," Isabella immediately retorted. "That means the probability of drawing the witch is one in seven, and the probability of drawing the innocent is six in seven. Are you going to sacrifice someone for such a small difference in probability?"

Her words caused everyone around the round table to fall silent.
