Next, Xu Fanghe took out another piece of paper and according to the original method, he let everyone choose the numbers to be eliminated in the second round.
"The number 2 we chose in the last round wasn't eliminated, so this round, number 2 counts as one, and there are two other numbers. Everyone should choose, please."
With his calm demeanor, he wrote a string of numbers on the paper, crossed out two of them, and then passed the paper to the man in glasses standing beside him.
"Here are eighteen numbers, we have eight people, each crossing out two numbers. In the end, there will be two numbers left. These, then plus number 2, are the numbers for the next round of votes."
As he said this, as if suddenly recalling something, he looked at Bai Youwei, "Right, at the last vote, which number did you choose? Why wasn't number 2 eliminated?"
Bai Youwei replied, "When I went into that room, I found out only number 1 and number 9 could be selected, so I chose number 1."
