The administrator was a man of his word. He had really poisoned them.

Besides, this was too sudden. As soon as the young man and the old man ate the food and drank the water, their throats started hurting. They covered their throats, unable to believe that the administrator would poison them.

Wei Huo watched from the side. In reality, he had seen through everything. The administrator had indeed poisoned the food and water, but this was not lethal poison.

The young man and the old man covered their throats and struggled for a while before recovering. However, they covered their throats with ugly expressions. Their eyes were filled with anger. They wanted to curse, but they could not.

Their voices were hoarse, and they could not speak.

At that moment, the administrator said, “You’re quite lucky to have escaped this calamity. We were planning to mute the three of you. Alright, let’s announce the rules of the next round.”

The young man and the old man’s faces were very dark, but they could not speak. Their anger for the administrator had reached an irreversible level, but the administrator did not care. He knew very well that the prisoners sent there were all unforgivable evildoers. There was no need to care about morals when dealing with these people.

The administrator said, “Take note. Next, you will participate in a Battle Royale game with over 60 people. This game will only end when there is only one team left. However, you should note that there is another rule in this game. I will assign a leader, a betrayer, and a loyal subject to each team. Please note that if the leader dies, the loyal subject will die as well. If the leader is not dead by the time the game ends, the betrayer will die. This rule seems disadvantageous to the betrayer. In addition, there is a favorable condition for the betrayer. The betrayer does not belong to a team. As long as the betrayer is killed, the game will end.”

At that moment, another small box descended from the sky. The moment it landed, it opened up by itself and three cards flew out. The three cards automatically flew into their hands. Then, the administrator said, “Each card represents your identity.”

Wei Huo picked up his card and flipped it over. There was a single word on it: Betrayer.

Wei Huo lifted his head. It seemed like he had to kill the leader of the team.

The cards disappeared after they glanced at them. The young man and the old man immediately became vigilant. They did not know who was the leader, the loyal subject, and the betrayer.

At that moment, both their throats were hoarse from the poison, so they could not distinguish each other through their voices.

Meanwhile, the administrator said, “The game will begin in five hours. Get ready!”

The young man and the old man each occupied a corner and sat down to rest. Wei Huo walked over to the pile of food and checked the food and water carefully. In the end, he realized that only the topmost layer of food and water was poisonous. The rest of the food and water were normal.

However, now that the administrator had poisoned them, no one dared to touch the food and water anymore.

That was the purpose of this deathly game. It was to collect people’s despair and fear and strike them when they were the most relaxed. The game made them feel despair, anger, and fear.

Wei Huo thought about it. Perhaps this method could create an Epic-ranked expert with an imposing aura of fear or despair.
