Player 18 showed no change in expression, raising his hand first to select the black ball.
The countdown hadn't ended, yet Player 95 continued pleading desperately. The key to the game was who was randomly chosen, and the only one capable of affecting the outcome was Player 18 across from him.
Regardless of whether he was kowtowing or crying, Player 18 remained silent. Finally, at the host's reminder, he had no choice but to crawl over and choose the black ball.
Then the projection spheres on both sides began to flicker alternately, stopping on the black sphere on Player 95's side five seconds later!
"Congratulations to Player 95 for landing the black ball task!"
