Chapter 21: The Seer: I Will Shelter All Werewolves

“Besides that, with the remaining six cards, finding three wolves should be quite easy, right?” Old Chu smiled faintly.

His demeanor was refined and gentle, like an amiable and kind elder brother who held firm to his own principles.

“As the earlier players mentioned, although Player 9 voted for Player 3, we can hold off on targeting him this round. There’s no need to eliminate him now.”

“Because today the focus has actually shifted from Player 9 to Players 5, 6, and 7. We only need to expose one of them to verify. I suggest revealing Player 5 to check Player 6. Of course, the specific flow of the sheriff’s badge is up to you to decide. Although I’m your confirmed good, I can’t control how you use the badge.”

Old Chu stroked his chin, looking as if he wanted to say more but hesitated.

Finally, as if resolute, he spoke: “Forget it. The good guys have the advantage now, so I’ll just claim the guard. After all, I’ve been confirmed good. I might be the target tonight and get killed. If I don’t claim, and a wolf in an outside position pretends to be me, it’ll be impossible to fight. If you don’t check him, he could survive till the last day.”

“The hunter just needs to stay hidden. I’m the guard. On the first day, I guarded no one. Tonight, I’ll protect you. Since you hold the badge, as long as your verifications over the next two days are effective, it won’t matter if I reveal my card tonight.”

“That’s about it. If Player 3 accuses me, it means Player 10 is a wolf teammate, which is impossible from my perspective, because I’m the guard. So Player 9, if you are good and want to accuse me and Player 10 as wolves, it’s unnecessary.”

“If I were a wolf, I wouldn’t bother claiming guard. Since I claimed it, I must be the guard. If you don’t believe me, just watch if any votes fall on me during the next voting round.”

“Of course, wolves could also stubbornly claim guard, but after this round of speeches, except for you, everyone else stands with Player 10 as the seer.”

“If I’m not the guard and Player 10 is my wolf teammate, I have even less reason to reveal myself now, making the true guard the only one on the good team. So you see, Player 10 must be the seer, and I can only be the guard who received the confirmed good. If you’re good, just trust Player 10’s judgment on who to expose next.”

“Of course, if you’re a wolf, just ignore what I said. I pass.”

Player 11, Old Chu, sniffed and calmly said he passed.

After hearing his speech, Wang Changsheng nodded silently in his heart.

No wonder he was recognized by the seer.

He indeed possessed some insight.

He understood the meaning behind Player 11 claiming the guard at this moment.

First, he held a civilian card, while the guard was Player 8 beside him.

But as Player 11 was confirmed good in the last seat and claimed first, others would naturally see him as the guard.

After all, as he said, if he weren’t the guard, there was no need to claim now.

Of course, this was the perspective of those in the outer positions.

Player 11’s reasons for claiming guard were as follows.

First, he believed a witch card was already out, so on the field were three gods and four civilians against three wolves.

He held a civilian card but claimed guard.

All seers stood on the good side.

He wasn’t afraid that the guard would think Player 3 was the real seer and get eliminated.

This allowed the guard to shield the seer.

Second, he was subtly assigning a task to the guard.

The wolves were likely to attack his confirmed good card at night.

So he might as well claim guard outright, pretending to fear getting killed and having his identity stolen.

This would greatly reinforce his guard persona in the wolves’ minds.

Even if he died, it wouldn’t matter; the guard only needed to protect Player 10 tonight and need not worry about getting killed.

He would take a hit for the guard.

And if the wolves really killed him,

there would still be three gods and three civilians left.

As long as no mistakes were made today,

the good guys would maintain their lead.

The badge voting would be far ahead.

The wolves would almost have no choice but to fold.

Even if they mistakenly eliminated a civilian, it wouldn’t matter.

From the wolves’ perspective, two gods and one civilian would be gone,

but in reality, it would be one god and two civilians.

This way, the guard disguised himself as a civilian.

There might even be a peaceful night.

Old Chu couldn’t imagine how they could lose this game.

He leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.

Though his thoughts were sound and mostly correct,

there were actually no three wolves left on the field.

Therefore, Wang Changsheng felt Player 11’s move carried little real weight.

With or without his guard claim, the good guys were leading this round.

“Fine, if he wants to claim, let him. Such an obvious guard claim won’t fool the wolves. But from their perspective, since the witch is still alive, Player 11’s move might make them think he’s a fake civilian pretending to be the first guard claim, when in fact, he’s the witch trying to shield the guard.”

In that case, the wolves might actually target Player 11 tonight.

Everyone’s perspective differs,

and so do their conclusions.

Player 11 thought there were three gods and four civilians left,

but in fact, all four gods remained!

His move might backfire.

If the wolves kill him,

the guard would protect Player 10.

Wang Changsheng could immediately use an antidote to save Player 11.

“How the hell can we lose? Heh heh heh heh heh!”

Wang Changsheng chuckled slyly in his heart.

“Ahem, wait, why am I laughing like Sister Cockroach now...” he quickly stopped himself.

“But... the gunshot was like a dragon? I think it’s more like a bug! Haha, down you go! You don’t belong in the top 24 of the top 48!”

Recalling Player 3’s various provocations before the game started,

Wang Changsheng sneered in contempt.

What kind of card was Player 3?

The wolf king?

No!

A clown!

“Player 10, please begin your speech.”

It was the seer’s turn to speak.

He carefully weighed the information from his confirmed good.

Then, in his first sentence, he revealed his badge flow.

“The badge flow is to play Players 7 and 4, checking 7 then 4 in sequence, and today we expose Player 9...”

As soon as Player 10 said this,

whether it was Player 11, who thought he could shield the guard,

or Wang Changsheng, who hoped to save Player 11 at night,

even Players 2, 4, and 12 were all stunned.

The wild laughter in Wang Changsheng and Old Chu’s hearts abruptly ceased.

???

No.

The front seats have all been analyzed for you.

Even your confirmed good advised checking between Players 5 and 6.

Checking between 5 and 6.

How did you suddenly shift the focus back to Player 9?!

Wang Changsheng was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Are you trying to give all the wolves warm shelter???
