[Your identity is Dream Catcher. Please select whether to activate your skill?]
After seeing the message in the floating box, Shao Qingge pondered for a moment with a headache, and finally chose to protect number 6 next door.
Most people were just going through the motions during the day, but Number 6's speech was relatively better. He analyzed several possibilities for the four deaths that night, and Shao Qingge felt he was more likely to be on the good side. Putting Number 6 into a sleepwalking state would make him immune to the nighttime damage.
He originally wanted to protect Xiao Lou, but if Xiao Lou were killed, he, as the Dream Catcher, would also be implicated, which was too risky. It would be safer to protect someone from another team.
[You are a witch. Tonight, numbers 27 and 30 were killed. Please choose: Use the antidote?]
The witch calmly pressed: No.
...
Daylight broke.
Two people died last night, and players number 27 and 30 were eliminated.
Long Sen and Lao Mo, ordinary villagers, woke up to find themselves locked in a small, dark room!
They quickly realized that they had been killed by the werewolves.
It seems that players killed at night are locked in a small, dark room and have no idea what's happening outside.
The cramped and dark environment can induce anxiety. They can do nothing but wait for the game's outcome in the pitch-black room, which is undoubtedly a form of psychological torment.
Long Sen paced around the small dark room, praying that his teammates would perform well this time; Lao Mo was also thinking that when he went back, he would learn how to play Werewolf Kill properly from his daughter.
...
In the square in the middle of the village, the surviving players gathered again.
Two more empty stone benches appeared. The village chief announced regretfully, "Last night, two more innocent Villagers were killed by werewolves. Sheriff, please lead the Villagers to find these lurking werewolves as soon as possible and drive them out of the village."
The NPCs let the sheriff make the decision, and Yu Hanjiang nodded and said, "Today, the speakers will go counterclockwise."
When others heard this, they only thought that the sheriff was taking turns speaking clockwise and counterclockwise, but Xiao Lou understood Yu Hanjiang's thinking—if it was counterclockwise, Qu Wanyue and Liu Qiao would speak before Xiao Lou, so that Xiao Lou could summarize and guide Shao Qingge to take sides.
Currently, the players who have been eliminated are: 2, 3, 4, 8, 16, 17, 22, 26, 27, 30, 35, and 36.
Speaking counter-clockwise, number 34 was the first to speak.
She had been slacking off for the past two days, but today, player number 34 finally stepped up and participated in the game. She calmly said, "Let me summarize Werewolf Faction's actions over the past few days. In the first round, there's not much to say about Werewolf Faction killing 16 and 26; they probably just randomly picked two lucky numbers to kill. During the daytime speaking phase, player number 3 had too many flaws and was a clear werewolf, so they were voted out. In the second round, Werewolf Faction killed someone but was saved by a god, resulting in a peaceful night. During the daytime, player number 22 revealed themselves as a werewolf and was voted out. Because she was Wolf Beauty who charmed player number 36, she dragged player number 36 out with her."
"The third night was the most complicated. The werewolf and God Card acted at the same time, and as a result, four people died in one night. You have many possible speculations, such as the witch using a potion, Dream Catcher connecting dreams, Cupid connecting lovers, etc., but I think that unless God Card reveals his identity, no one else can be sure what really happened that night."
"On the third day, Prophet rallied everyone to vote for player number 8. Player number 8 received 20 votes and was eliminated, leaving behind a dying message questioning Prophet's identity. Whether player number 8 was a werewolf or a good guy is still uncertain."
"The fourth night was normal. Werewolf Faction killed 27 and 30, and God Card didn't save them. Judging from their statements, 27 and 30 seemed more like ordinary Villagers, so it's understandable that God Card didn't save them. Now it's the fourth day, and I only have one question—11 clearly revealed himself as Prophet, yet he hasn't died for two consecutive nights. Don't you guys have any doubts about his identity as Prophet?"
After she finished speaking, she calmly returned to her seat.
Xiao Lou looked at the girl, who had a long ponytail and dressed very neatly.
Girl number 34 had been slacking off the whole time, clearly observing the situation. Her sudden appearance suggests she's either a Villager with strong analytical skills or the Hunter card from the God Cards.
The hunter isn't afraid to die because she has a gun and can shoot and take down a player before she dies. If she suspects Xiao Lou is a fake Prophet, she can directly confront him. Werewolf Faction will definitely kill her that night, and she can shoot and take down Xiao Lou. It's a one-for-one trade, and eliminating the enemy's core isn't a loss.
After player #34 finished speaking, player #33 next to her immediately disagreed: "I think player #11's identity as Prophet is real. Don't forget that two Prophets jumped on the first day, #17 and #22. Everyone thought one of them was fake, and it turned out that #22 was indeed fake. She was Wolf Beauty, and she was voted out while taking a good player with her. It's very obvious. Since #22 is fake, then #17, who also jumped Prophet, must be real. And #11 analyzed that there should be two Prophets in a 36-player game, which I think is a very reasonable analysis. So far, no one else has jumped Prophet. Who else could be the remaining Prophet besides #11?"
He scanned the entire room and calmly said, "If there's still a real Prophet, he should step forward as soon as possible and expose Number 11's disguise. It's already the fourth day, and there are only three days left in the game. Prophet can't possibly have been hiding until now without revealing himself. If Prophet doesn't reveal himself, the good guys can't play at all."
"Isn't that right?"
Number 33's speech was logically clear. But Yu Hanjiang knew that his true identity was actually a werewolf.
Because Prophet sided with Werewolf Faction, number 33 was able to speak up for Xiao Lou.
The next three, 32, 31, and 29, were all left hanging. When it came to number 28, the man said in a deep voice, " Werewolf Faction rarely lets a Prophet live for more than two days, but number 11 survived two nights safely after revealing his identity. Either the God Card was protecting him, or there's something wrong with his identity. I personally lean towards the God Card protecting him because he's the only Prophet on the field right now, which is very precious. If the Witch, the Guard, and the Dream Catcher were all present, and the Witch used the antidote, or the Dream Catcher dreamed about number 11 to prevent him from being harmed, and the Guard protected number 11, then even if Werewolf Faction tried to kill him, he wouldn't die. It makes sense that he survived for two nights, doesn't it?"
After player number 28 finished speaking, since players number 27 (Long Sen) and 26 had already been eliminated, it was player number 25 (Qu Wanyue)' s turn.
Qu Wanyue said, "Everyone's analysis has its own logic. There are too many players this time, and there are duplicate identity cards, so we can't judge it like a traditional 12-player game. In a traditional game, a witch can't use the antidote again after using it. But this time, there might really be two witches, two Dream Catchers, two Prophets … So, whatever happens is possible. I think we can decide whether to believe him or not based on what No. 11 said today."
Qu Wanyue's statement wasn't clearly biased; it was a neutral statement that sounded like that of an innocent Villager.
Numbers 24, 23, 21, and 20 all indicated that they would listen to Prophet's speech today before deciding which side they would stand on.
When it was number 19's turn, a boy suddenly said loudly, "It's been four days of the game, and some God Cards should reveal their identities. I am the Gravedigger, and some of you may not have heard of this role. Let me explain it to you—the Gravedigger's ability is that every night, you can open other people's gravestones to see whether the people who were voted out during the day are actually good guys or werewolves."
"I didn't speak out in the previous few days because the number 3 who was voted out on the first day and the number 22 who was voted out on the second day were both clear wolves, and I had no need to expose myself. I'm speaking out today because the situation has been completely messed up by some people, and I need to quickly clarify the logic for everyone and get the good guys back to normal!"
"Number 8, who was voted out yesterday, was actually a good person. Number 11, Prophet, confidently claimed that he had investigated and found Number 8 to be a werewolf, urging everyone to vote out the werewolf. But why, when I, the Gravedigger, looked at Number 8's tombstone, did it say he was a good person? Framed as a werewolf, Number 8 must be dying with regrets!"
"This shows that Prophet #11's identity is definitely questionable. I strongly suspect that he is either a werewolf pretending to be Prophet, or he is the real Prophet, but Cupid designated him as a werewolf's love interest, and he chose to side with the werewolf."
"Number 11, your logic on the second day was sound, and your speech was excellent; I believed you then. But on the third day, you called on everyone to vote out Number 8, which was a mistake. You probably didn't expect the [Gravekeeper] role to be among the God Cards. I can examine the gravestones of the dead and immediately expose your lies. Today I'm standing up, prepared to be killed by the werewolves tonight, but even in my dying moments, I'll drag this troublemaker, the Prophet, down with me. I hope everyone believes me—Number 8 is indeed a good person, and Number 11 was helping Werewolf Faction!"
Xiao Lou: "..."
He underestimated the players present. Many of them had been slacking off in the previous days, but their insightful comments at the crucial moment were truly incisive.
He definitely overlooked the Gravedigger card. If Xiao Lou votes for a good person to be eliminated, the Gravedigger will immediately expose him. But if he votes for a werewolf to be eliminated, he will waste the daytime voting opportunity and it will be difficult to achieve the perfect condition of eliminating the entire village to complete the game.
The biggest challenge in this escape room is the lack of trust between strangers.
For example, from the perspective of this tomb keeper, he definitely needs to complete his own task and won't follow Xiao Lou's lead. His intervention at this point is tantamount to stabbing Xiao Lou in the back. How will Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang coordinate now?
If everyone suspects Xiao Lou and votes him out, Yu Hanjiang will immediately commit suicide for love!
If the sheriff and Prophet are both out of the game, wouldn't the situation instantly descend into chaos?
In retrospect, Cupid's connection with Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang strongly suggests that he realized they were teammates on the contract book. Cupid didn't want to carry them to victory; rather, he wanted to eliminate them together, helping Cupid's teammates survive longer and complete more levels.
It's more likely that [ Cupid ] and [Gravekeeper] are teammates, and they have their own synergy. Otherwise, why would Gravekeeper immediately jump out and try to kill Xiao Lou as soon as Cupid connected with Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang?
Xiao Lou took a deep breath to steady his heartbeat and carefully considered his next words.
After speaker number 19 finished speaking, speaker number 18, Liu Qiao, followed.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang had already guessed that she was the God Card; they were just waiting to see what she would say this time.
Liu Qiao stood up, her gaze sweeping over the entire room indifferently, and said, "Number 19, I truly admire your ability to lie through your teeth."
Xiao Lou: "..."
Little Liu is quite audacious! Number 19 should indeed be the gravedigger; Liu Qiao is the one who's blatantly lying.
Liu Qiao said, "You want to analyze the logic? I'll analyze the logic for you too. First of all, let me clarify that I am a witch."
The crowd: "..."
The witch and the gravedigger started arguing, leaving onlookers completely bewildered.
Liu Qiao said, "I've been giving you a detailed analysis since day one."
" The werewolf kills occurred in the order of nighttime first, then daytime. On the first night, 16 and 26 died, and I received news that they couldn't be saved because..."
"The werewolf will definitely be playing blindly all night, and the chances of hitting a key target are very low. With so many people present and only one antidote, I don't want to waste it."
"On the second night, werewolf killed players 17 and 35. At that time, player 17 had revealed himself as Prophet during the sheriff election and gave player 5 a positive answer, and player 5 also proved that he was a good guy. At night, Prophet player 17 was killed. Logically, I should have saved him, but I didn't, because there must have been a guard or Dream Catcher on the scene. I felt that if the guard or Dream Catcher were smart, they would have protected Prophet who spoke better on the second night. If I had used the antidote, I would have 'protected and saved him together' and caused a misunderstanding."
"The other person killed, number 35, didn't run for sheriff on the first day, nor did he speak; he was basically just a nobody. Why did he get killed on Christmas Eve the second night?"
"There are two possibilities. First, there was another witch present who used the antidote to save Number 35. Second, Number 35 was a Guardian who protected himself to survive another round. It's unlikely that the witch blindly saved him, but it's a common tactic for a Guardian to protect himself, since he can only protect more people if he survives. Judging from Number 35's explanation of the God Card's identity, I'm more inclined to believe that he was a Guardian who used his shield to protect himself on the second night."
"On the second day, the 22nd chat exploded and was voted out. Enchantress took away 36, there's not much to say about that."
"The third night was the most complicated, with four people dying in succession. The actual situation is that the information I received indicated that Number 2 and Number 35 were killed. From my perspective, Number 2 was just a Villager who wasn't really doing anything, so there was no need to use the antidote. Number 35 was very likely a Guard. Werewolf Faction has some skilled people who probably deduced that he was a Guard before continuing to kill him, because a Guard cannot guard the same person for two consecutive nights. He guarded himself on the second night, achieving a peaceful night, so he couldn't guard himself on the third night, and Werewolf Faction could take the opportunity to kill him."
"35 got stabbed again. This time it was my mistake. I hesitated and didn't save him. My thought was that there was still a witch on the scene, so I should save her. I should save my antidote to save the crucial Prophet. But it was a blunder. We didn't save him, and 35 was eliminated."
"And how did 4 and 17 die? You speculate that Cupid killed people, the witch used poison, or Dream Catcher used continuous dream-capturing... I didn't use poison, and I don't know about the other witch. That's for Dream Catcher, Cupid, and the other witches to explain."
"Last night was the fourth night. The truth is that No. 27 and No. 11 were killed, and I saved No. 11, Prophet, with the antidote."
"I can vouch for it with my witch identity: Prophet #11 is most likely real. He was killed by the werewolves the very second night he came forward. From your perspective, 27 and 30 were killed by the Werewolf Faction last night, but actually, it was 27 and 11 who were killed by the Werewolf Faction. I ended up saving #11. Why did 30 die? It's possible that 30 and 27 were a couple linked together and committed suicide together."
Yu Hanjiang: "..."
Xiao Liu is full of lies; everything before that is true—but the most crucial part, last night, was all made up.
Clearly, when Liu Qiao saw Long Sen and Mo Xuemin eliminated at the same time, she had already figured out the logic to win the game. She guessed that her teammates were sabotaging each other, so she decided to protect Xiao Lou and help him advance to the final round.
Xiao Lou was indeed pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected Liu Qiao to be such a wewerf kill expert. With Xiao Liu jumping to the witch's side and strongly siding with Prophet, the words of the gravedigger earlier would be questioned by the other players present.
Liu Qiao looked at the boy next door, number 19, and calmly said, "I highly doubt the identity of the gravedigger next door. Number 19, you claimed to be the gravedigger, saying you checked number 8's tombstone and that number 8 is a good person, therefore concluding that Prophet is a fraud. But I noticed a detail: yesterday, number 8 received 20 votes, and 7 other votes were not cast for him, including yours. Yesterday, you hadn't even checked number 8's tombstone yet. Did you have precognitive abilities and know in advance that number 8 was a good person? But you also said that you believed Prophet at the time, and only questioned him after checking the tombstone last night. If you believed him then, why didn't you vote for number 8 with Prophet, but instead abstained? Isn't that a contradiction?"
Liu Qiao concluded, "I believe that number 11 was the only Prophet present. Last night, Werewolf Faction wanted to kill him, and I saved him. Numbers 8 and 19 were Werewolf Faction's allies. Therefore, yesterday, number 19 abstained from voting for number 8, and today he suddenly wore the gravedigger's clothes and said that number 8 was a good person, in order to slander Prophet and try to get everyone to vote Prophet out. Is my logic correct?"
Number 19: "..."
The boy was speechless after Liu Qiao's words, and had no way to express his suffering!
Xiao Lou was very pleased; Xiao Liu's acting was indeed very good, and she almost believed him. Yu Hanjiang had killed Lao Mo and Long Sen last night, and Xiao Lou had figured out the team's strategy, so she started helping Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang today.
Now, both the witch and Prophet sided with Werewolf Faction. Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao working together were more convincing than the gravedigger's one-sided statement.
Those still wavering at the scene, due to Liu Qiao's clearer logic and the tomb keeper's apparent contradictions, mostly favored Xiao Lou. Some of Prophet's doubts have been put aside, while others are still hesitant, preparing to listen to Xiao Lou's statement or the witch's subsequent remarks.
Just then, a notification popped up on the scene: "Due to the self-destruction of Blood Moon Apostle No. 7, the Blood Moon has risen, and night will immediately fall. All God Card skills will be sealed tonight."
Everyone: "..."
Ye Qi had only spoken halfway through his turn when he suddenly revealed something himself?!
When Xiao Lou saw this, he gave Xiao Ye a thumbs up in his heart.
There are likely two witches present. Liu Qiao is playing the witch, fabricating the story of the fourth night to side with Xiao Lou and protect him. If Prophet's identity is revealed, Liu Qiao's lies could very well be exposed by the second witch once she steps forward.
Ye Qi's self-destruction at this time has several advantages.
First, from an outsider's perspective, the Blood Moon Apostle's sudden self-destruction was to seal the God Card skill, allowing Werewolf Faction to immediately deal with the witch.
Secondly, the Blood Moon Apostle's self-destruction to enter the night was to prevent Prophet ( number 11) from continuing to speak and finding the werewolves.
Ye Qi is helping Liu Qiao and Xiao Lou establish their true identities.
Seeing this, Shao Qingge finally understood the team's strategy.
He always thought Dream Catcher was going to protect the good guys, but now it seems he should be on Werewolf Faction's side and spend two nights dreaming about killing the good guys!
