Chapter 7 Voting Execution
Chapter 7 Voting Execution
Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room:
"666666! Brother Feng is awesome! That move was absolutely divine!"
"Holy crap! The seat change actually went through?!"
"The Importance of Having a Skill! Guys, is it too late for me to sign up for a sketching class?"
"The weird flight attendant doesn't seem so scary after all? At least you can communicate with her? She's even a little easy to coax? (Just kidding)"
"With enough courage, you can even make a monster take maternity leave! Brother Feng, go for it! We support you!"
........................
After Lin Feng settled into his new seat in the first row, Xia Ning turned around with satisfaction and posed the second riddle:
"It eats the rules, spews out death; passengers avoid it like the plague, while flight attendants smile at it. Guess the 'behavior'."
Lin Feng's brain was working at lightning speed:
"Eating the rules"... means taking the rules as sustenance or a prerequisite;
"Vomiting death"...the result is death;
Passengers avoid it like the plague, but flight attendants love it...
Flight attendants are the maintainers of order, so what do they like to see?
It's good to see someone break the rules, so that there's a reason to 'punish' them!
Therefore, this behavior itself is—
Lin Feng raised his hand without hesitation.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Ning's bloodshot eyes, then she gestured for him to answer.
"It's a violation of the rules!" Lin Feng's voice was clear and certain.
A hint of genuine appreciation flashed in Xia Ning's eyes. She had clearly not expected that this audacious human was not only interesting but also quite intelligent.
[Xia Ning's favorability with the mysterious flight attendant increases by 5!]
Current favorability rating: 35/100
"Correct answer." She parted her red lips slightly and announced the result.
Another flight attendant behind her stepped forward and handed Lin Feng a "Resistance Rules" card.
The card was off-white and cool to the touch, like the leather of some kind of creature. It was printed with a twisted and intricate symbol in a dark red pigment, like congealed blood.

Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room:
"Awesome! A lightning-fast response! That reaction speed truly befits the chosen ones of our Dragon Kingdom!"
"Hahaha, did you see that? Even the flight attendant's eyes changed! She's amazed by Brother Feng's wisdom, isn't she!"
"My favorability rating increased again! And I even got a free survival card! This is a huge win!"
"A brain is a wonderful thing! It can save your life in a critical moment! Brother Feng perfectly exemplifies this!"
"This riddle is something else! I was just wondering what it was, and then Brother Feng gave me the answer!"
"Knowledge is power! Wisdom is a weapon! Keep it up, Feng Ge! Keep it up!"
After a brief pause, the enigmatic flight attendant Xia Ning opened her red lips again, posing the final riddle:
"The third riddle: 'You can't live without it, yet it can leave you; you obey it, yet it wants to kill you. What is it?'"
"Countdown, starting in 10 seconds."
Lin Feng's brain was like a high-speed processor, rapidly unraveling the mystery.
"You can't live without it" —
On this bizarre flight, we were indeed unable to leave; we were physically confined.
"But it can leave you" —
It can easily abandon us, for example... through death, or, like Jason just now, be "dealt with" and the flight continues.
"You obey it" —
We must obey flight rules and flight attendant instructions.
"But it wants to kill you."
The ultimate purpose of this flight seems to be to hunt us down through rules, satisfying the appetite of some being.
All the clues point to one answer—
This bizarre vessel itself, this flight itself, brimming with malice and seemingly possessing a life of its own!
However, just as his fingers twitched slightly, preparing to raise his hand...
"I...I know!"
A woman's voice, trembling slightly but trying to remain calm, rang out.
The voice came from the middle of the cabin, and Aruna, the girl from the Azure Wolf Kingdom with a turquoise and red coral headdress in her hair, raised her hand.
Her face was pale, but her eyes revealed a resolute intelligence.
Instantly, all eyes were on her.
Xia Ning turned her gaze to her, nodded slightly, and gestured for her to answer.
Aruna took a deep breath and said clearly:
The answer is... "this flight" itself.
"We're trapped here, unable to leave, but it can let us 'leave' (die) at any time."
"We must obey its rules, but these rules are ultimately designed to... to... kill us."
The explanation is almost identical to Lin Feng's reasoning!
Xia Ning stared at her quietly for two seconds; the cabin was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Immediately, Xia Ning's lips curled into a smile:
"The answer is correct."
She waved her hand gently, and another flight attendant with a cold expression stepped forward and handed Aruna a beige "Resistance Rule Card" of the same material.
Aruna took the card, clutching it tightly in her hand as if grasping a glimmer of hope, and bowed slightly.
"Bayarlal (Thank you)."
………………
The Canglang Kingdom's live stream chat room instantly erupted:
"Yangha (Fantastic!)! Aruna is truly the pride of our grasslands!"
"They found the answer in such a short time! The Eternal Heaven has blessed our Canglang Kingdom!"
"Look! The chosen ones from other countries are stunned! Aruna, the jewel of our grasslands!"
"We've got a life-saving card! Like a thoroughbred horse receiving the strongest horseshoe!"
"Aruna, you must live on as tenaciously as the gray wolf!"
........................
After the guessing game ended, Xia Ning announced an even more nerve-wracking segment:
"Second stage: Execution by vote."
"The rules are as follows: Each passenger has 3 minutes to write the name of the passenger they think 'most deserving of execution' on the back of their boarding pass using the provided pen."
The person with the most votes will be "removed" from the flight!
She paused, her icy gaze sweeping across the room, and emphasized:
"Abstention is prohibited, and ghostwriting is prohibited."
"If you fail to vote within the specified time, you will be deemed to have automatically forfeited your right to survival."
As soon as the words were spoken, the strange flight attendants began to silently distribute boarding passes and odd pens, bone white in color with dark red ink seeping from their tips.
At the same time, a holographic screen lit up at the front of the cabin, displaying the portraits and names of all the surviving chosen ones, like a cold list of candidates for death.
Lin Feng held the pen, his expression solemn.
Execution by vote —
This is clearly one of the most common tricks used in ghost stories: forcing the survivors to distrust, attack, and kill each other, thereby weakening the overall strength and satisfying their perverse desire for entertainment.
Almost the instant the list appeared, the previously deathly silence in the cabin was replaced by an even more eerie restlessness.
People's gazes began to wander uncontrollably, cautiously observing others while also being wary of becoming their target.
Whispers spread like a tide.
Soon, two names were repeatedly mentioned in whispers—Lin Feng, and Jose from the Philippines.
Lin Feng could feel those gazes, some open and some hidden, falling on him.
The reason is obvious:
His interaction with the strange flight attendant Xia Ning was too "eye-catching," and the flight attendant even seemed to treat him slightly "preferentially."
This seemed extremely unusual on a bizarre flight with a murderous intent.
This will inevitably lead some people to suspect that he has reached some secret agreement with "them," or that he is simply a hidden "mole"...
