After a brief moment of chaos, the second round of speaking began.
The atmosphere on stage had become subtle. The three civilians were now looking at Sparkle with complicated expressions.
Tingyun was the first to speak. Only her smiling eyes were visible above her fan as she spoke slowly:
"Her usual behavior can be described as quite mischievous, but because of that, she has also offended quite a lot of people."
Her words were watertight — they could be referring to a specific person or summarizing an entire type of person.
Art. Pure linguistic art.
[As expected of Tingyun. She really knows how to speak.]
[Indeed. The number of people Sparkle has offended could probably stretch from Penacony all the way to Jarilo-VI, with a detour through the Xianzhou Luofu.]
[A female brat is the same. That kind of attribute makes people both love and hate it — impossible to resist.]
Next was Robin, who thought for a moment before saying:
"I remember… Mr. Sampo seems to be quite afraid of her."
[Hahaha, don't even mention it. Sampo's pain is our entertainment.]
[Robin's follow-up is way too precise. It looks gentle, but it goes straight for the core!]
[Sampo, who's currently eating melons off-stage: Achoo! Who's talking about me? I feel a chill down my back!]
It was Silver Wolf's turn. She still looked completely uninterested in everything around her and simply added in a flat tone:
"Her physique is petite. Compared to me, she clearly lacks a mature aura."
As she spoke, she unconsciously straightened her back and puffed out her chest.
This subtle movement was instantly captured by the quick-witted director and given a large close-up, which was then projected onto the big screen.
"Pfft—! Cough, cough, cough!"
Su Chen had just taken a sip of water and nearly choked it straight into his windpipe.
The live chat instantly exploded.
[??? Wolf Lord, speak with your conscience! Say that again? Doesn't your conscience hurt?!]
[Did I see that right? Silver Wolf is comparing maturity with Sparkle? What kind of ultimate "pot calling the kettle black" moment is this?]
[Hahahaha, but Silver Wolf, you don't really have the right to say that either!]
[Is this the confidence of a flat chest? I love it! I love how Wolf Lord says outrageous things with a completely straight face!]
[She's gone crazy. This round is literally gods fighting each other. Everyone is attacking, and everyone is getting attacked!]
The camera finally cut to Sparkle.
The smile at the corner of her mouth stiffened for a split second before beginning to twitch wildly.
Sampo?
Petite physique?
Less mature than Silver Wolf?
The clues had already connected.
The answer had never been clearer!
She was the spy.
And the civilians' keyword was "Sparkle"!
Oh? How interesting!
The production team really knew how to play, and the contestants knew how to play even better!
They were using her own name to play a riddle right in front of her, and they even dared to mock her figure?
Especially Silver Wolf daring to say she was "not mature"?
Sparkle took a deep breath. The anger in her heart flared up for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by an even stronger excitement called "entertainment."
It was the kind of joy a hunter feels when they find the perfect prey.
Self-destruct now?
No. That would be too boring.
Boredom was the one sin this world could never tolerate!
The fun had only just begun!
Since they wanted to play, she would play along — and play big.
She would use the most fitting description for "Sparkle" to describe a "female brat." She would let them put the crown of victory on her head with their own hands while thinking they had already won!
And so, Sparkle once again wore that naive yet mischievous smile and said:
"That's right! She just loves charging in and waiting to get completely destroyed!"
Her voice was crisp and clear.
[Haha, for a moment I couldn't tell if Sparkle was describing the female brat or herself… There doesn't seem to be any difference?]
[Holy shit, I can tell Sparkle is definitely shallow grass. (A type of plant)]
[That's right, take her down! Let her know what cruelty really is!]
[Does she even know she's the spy? If she doesn't, then this is the most accurate self-assessment in history. If she does… then she's way too bold. She's even willing to humiliate herself? What kind of top-tier Among Us player is this?!]
[I declare that Sparkle is the real entertainment enjoyer! For the sake of the show's effect, she'll do anything!]
[Is this professional spirit? I love it. I'm a fan now!]
Down in the audience, Su Chen had already laughed so hard he had no strength left. He slumped in his chair, feeling like this show had used up an entire year's worth of his laughter quota. His abs were starting to hurt.
"Alright, the second round of speaking has ended!" Owlbert said while barely holding back his laughter. He walked onto the stage and announced, "Now, we will move on to the voting phase!"
Tingyun was the first to speak. She looked around with a gentle smile:
"After carefully listening to everyone's statements, there don't seem to be any problems. This only proves that the keywords for the civilians and the spy are simply too similar. Since that's the case, I'm not very knowledgeable, so I won't make any rash judgments. I abstain from voting."
[As expected of you, Tingyun. You're perfectly balanced and never offend anyone — always standing in an undefeated position.]
[This is the high-EQ way to play. I've learned something. I'll use this in meetings from now on.]
Robin thought seriously for a moment before turning her gaze toward Sparkle.
"Everyone's statements are indeed quite similar. However… I feel that Miss Sparkle's description was a bit too deliberate, as if she was intentionally trying to guide something. Therefore, I vote for Sparkle."
It was Silver Wolf's turn. She simply shook her head. "I vote for Robin. Throughout the entire game, her statements were the most vague and best fit the logic of a spy trying to hide their identity."
Now, the pressure fell on Sparkle.
All the spotlights and the gazes of millions of viewers in the live chat were focused on her.
She first pretended to stroke her chin thoughtfully, glancing back and forth between Silver Wolf and Robin. Finally, she grinned.
"Originally, I was planning to vote for Silver Wolf. After all, her description has almost nothing to do with the keyword she received! How can someone who can't even see themselves clearly identify others? Right, Wolf Lord?"
She playfully winked at Silver Wolf.
"But today, the great Sparkle is in a good mood, so I'll be the bigger person and not hold a grudge against a petty person! Besides, voting is way too boring. It's not 'Sparkle' at all.
True Elation should be an unexpected, grand explosion that leaves everyone stunned, don't you think?"
"So, I choose — to self-destruct!"
"I am the spy. My keyword is 'Female Brat'!"
"And their civilian keyword is — 'Sparkle'!"
