Although 6 hours is a long time, the time passed before I realized it. Without any development, your team has no choice but to choose..
With a few minutes left, the players began to put their ballot papers in the voting box. Slowly but surely, it made me even more tense.
The teeeeeeeet!
"Time's up!" The Dealer concludes this second half. "Now we will calculate the result of the choice!" The Dealer exclaimed, several employees began to arrive to count and put the ballot paper on the board. At that moment, I remembered Daniel's words at the beginning of the second half.
If the difference in the outcome of the next round is also the same, 4 to 6, then this means that this is the worst case scenario.
Maybe that's what Daniel said at the beginning of the round more or less.
"Yes....! Then... No...! No...!"
"(Worst case scenario? No way!)" Alice muttered anxiously, unconsciously as she thought for too long, the count of votes had been completed. "Counting is done!"
"4 to 6, yes it has become a minority!"
"(I-It's like Daniel said.!)" Inner Alice did not expect that it would actually happen. Not only Alice, but on a different side Daniel was also surprised that his prediction of it was true.
"Players who choose not are now asked to come out." Slowly the player who became the majority in this second half started to leave this room.
"(W.X..! It turns out he did something!)" Daniel's mind is shocked and worried about what plan or strategy X has.
Now our team is just Aiko and Daniel. The factory manager and I have lost.
Daniel.... Aikou... Please win this game!
I didn't say anything, all I did was walk away looking at them with a look like I was saying that. Yes, although it may not be exactly the same as what I say in my heart. As if understanding Aiko smiled faintly.
"(Give it to me!)"
So, when I walked out, what do you think I saw? Tak Pain is an unpleasant figure number 15. Somehow he got back to winning.

Now, overall the only remaining players:
- participant number 15
- Jordan
- Aiko
- Daniel
"Today's game is over. The next round is scheduled to start at 8am, as it is today. You are the only four participants. Until then, enjoy your visit." The dealer's words ended the game today. Is walking out of this dark room as well as just the players.
"Hey, X's still here." Aiko whispers to Daniel who is beside her, they walk behind 15 players and Riordan with a distance far enough. Daniel responds just nod.
"Hm.."
In short, now that Daniel has arrived in his room, is immediately going to the bathroom to clean himself because he feels bad with his body. While taking a shower and thinking about something, suddenly a phone voice sounded..
Hmmmm?
Daniel decided to answer it after he finished bathing. Once it's done, it turns out the phone still sounds and vibrates. While wiping the body parts and hair that was still wet Daniel lifted it.
^^^"Hello....? Oh, it's you.." ^^^
"Thank God! I thought I couldn't reach you." Alice said in the phone with relief.
^^^ "My phone is always with me, except in games." Clearly Daniel at once remembered Alice based on what the DGT employees had said. ^^^
^^^"So where are you now?" ^^^
"Home. I just got there."
^^^"What does DGT pay?"^^^
"Not yet to this day. Daniel, the last round ended as you predicted, 4 to 6, which means X.."
^^^"Yes, it's not wrong, X has been working behind the scenes." Daniel grunts. ^^^
"That's it..." Alice looked down sad, afraid that the X had a more powerful plan than Daniel's.
^^^"Sorry, but can I call you later? I have something to take care of. If I don't act now, then we'll lose the game tomorrow morning, for sure." Realizing that he called, Daniel put on his shirt in a bit of a hurry. He didn't let himself shut up just because of a phone call. ^^^
"Was he??! Sure?!" Feeling that it was urgent, Alice was surprised. However, not asking further, Daniel immediately hung up the phone.
^^^"Well, see you later."^^^
.
.

"Wine! What am I supposed to do?!"
Again, I was attacked by fear. But no matter how much I worry, there's nothing I can do at this point!
Unable to hold myself back, I decided the next day to return to Wisma (a building)
.

Pov: Daniel
Daniel walks out of the room and down the long hallway to the lobby, hoping that the person he is looking for is there or not he will be troubled to find "that person" all over this building.
And sure enough, when he reached the lobby and opened the door, he saw the participant Daniel was looking for was participant no.15, Daniel immediately rushed to his standing leaning.
"Hey, you wanna talk to me for a second?" Ask Daniel and open the subject. He only glanced at Daniel with a face so flat, crossing his hands on his chest was the hallmark of player no.15
"What are you doing?"
"Look, I'm going straight to the point. I know you're working with and teaming up with 3 participants."
"...?" Of course, 15 participants were surprised by that, but he still had to behave as usual as if the statement was not true.
"You've been lied to by participant 3."
"What do you mean?"
"Huh, there's no need to pretend anymore, I already know everything, it's just that I need to do something."
"How can you be so sure that I'm working with participant 3, don't you have no proof and I might lie."
"Simpel, because we are both the aggrieved side later. And it was done by 15 participants. He's a traitor."
The 15th participant raised one eyebrow at the meaning of Daniel's words.
"If you join me and work with me, we can win... It's just, let the current conditions and I guarantee you will be played by participant 3."
"One more time, as a guarantee, I'll give you my sign, but in exchange you'll have to give me the information on your team." Without a second thought, Daniel gave his signboard to 15 participants. Of course, it made him a little confused and surprised.
"(Hmm, I don't think there's a problem if I tell this team, after all it'll only have a slight effect.)" Inner 15 participants momentarily thought about what to do. But, in the end he received the nameplate.
"Well, I'll work with you."

Next morning..
^^^"What?? You back?" Daniel shouted in surprise at the statement coming from his mobile phone. ^^^
"Yes.." I replied quietly because I felt guilty, I called Daniel to just give the news that he had come back and had arrived in front of the guesthouse.
^^^"For what?! Now you can't do anything!!" ^^^
"But.. I'll just be more worried at home."
^^^"Stay with it! Back to where so far?!"^^^
" well... You know, I'm not the only one coming back. I met the number 1 player just now. She must be as worried as I am and go back to check things out." I tried to explain what he met before he called Daniel, for Daniel it was very important information.
"?!" Daniel was surprised, stunned for a moment to digest what Alice said. Daniel believes that Alice did not lie about it. Even unconsciously when Daniel arrived² was silent, the sound of knocking on the door was heard many times. The knock was definitely a DGT employee to warn the participants that the game was about to begin.
"Number 22?? We'll start the next round in a minute. Please come to the reception room." The employee's orders commemorate Daniel from outside the room. Daniel responds by slightly raising his voice to be heard.
"Well, in a minute."
"The game's about to start, I'll call you back when it's done." Daniel told Alice he was about to end it, not yet saying the phone had been switched off.
...
Stupid me... I'm doing unnecessary things, right..?
Seriate..
