Chapter 23: Wolf: How could it be Christmas Eve?

Page 1/3

Brother Flathead discussed with the cute girl about how to speak when morning came. Although they might have eliminated a good player, the wolves were still at a significant disadvantage. They had to take down another good player to have a chance at winning. When daytime arrived, they had to go all in. Whether they could win or not depended entirely on this round.

“Seer, please open your eyes.”

“Please choose the player you want to inspect.”

The mask disappeared from Bearded Brother No. 10’s face, and his gaze immediately landed on Wang Changsheng.

“This guy is just a backup, but I couldn’t tell from his words whether he’s human or wolf, so I have to check him,” Bearded Brother frowned thoughtfully. “But he should be a wolf, right? Otherwise, why would he be the first to stand up and defend No. 9?”

He showed a hand gesture indicating number seven to the judge, then looked expectantly at the screen in the center of the round table.

“As long as No. 7 turns out to be a wolf, this game will be over!”

Bearded Brother seemed quite hopeful, but when the judge announced Wang Changsheng’s identity, he froze.

“Why is it a ‘golden water’?”

Bearded Brother was stunned. He had thought No. 7 and No. 9 were both wolves. But now, checking revealed No. 7 was actually a ‘golden water’—a confirmed good player. So what about the eliminated No. 9?

A chill ran down his spine. They had just run into a wall.

Finally, he wanted to turn back. He had no choice; otherwise, even if their side won, everyone else would gain ranking points while he only added a pitiful amount for a faction victory. Their leader would surely scold him to death.

He put the mask back on No. 10’s face.

“Witch, please open your eyes.”

“The player targeted last night—do you want to use the antidote or poison?”

Wang Changsheng quietly opened his eyes. Through the hole in his helmet, he had already seen who the werewolves had attacked.

Without hesitation, he gave the judge a thumbs-up.

“Daybreak has come,” the judge’s deep, magnetic voice rang out.

All players’ masks vanished.

The good players in the outer seats all turned their eyes to No. 7 and No. 10.

Obviously, they were all curious about what identity No. 10 had discovered for No. 7.

If No. 7 was a wolf, then he would surely self-destruct soon.

They were also waiting for the judge to announce last night’s casualty.

Both good players and wolves wanted to know if the guardian had clashed mentally with the werewolves the previous night.

“Last night was a peaceful night. Sheriff, please choose your speaking order.”

What the hell?!

Once the death news came out, both good players and wolves were stunned.

Especially No. 5 and No. 6.

They couldn’t hide the ugly expressions on their faces.

First, with the witch present, as long as she wasn’t killed and the target wasn’t No. 10, a peaceful night was inevitable.

But how could No. 11 not be the witch?

Wasn’t he the guardian who pretended to confuse us?

Why else would he claim the last position and say he was guardian?

Wasn’t that the witch trying to avoid being killed?

No. 6, the cute girl, was also confused.

No. 5 had basically targeted the kill last night.

She had even prepared to stand up and accuse No. 12 and No. 2.

But now, with a peaceful night suddenly announced, they had just wasted their effort defending a good player.

“I choose No. 11.”

No. 10’s expression was complicated.

He let No. 11, the ‘golden water,’ speak first.

In other words, he had revealed Wang Changsheng’s ‘golden water’ identity.

Except for No. 8, the glamorous big sister from the Wave Warriors team, the other good players didn’t seem too surprised that No. 7 was ‘golden water,’ as if they had expected it.

“Player No. 11, please start speaking.”

It was Old Chu’s turn.

He was silent for a while and then sighed.

“No matter how you look at it, No. 9 doesn’t seem like a wolf who should have been eliminated. And you even checked No. 7 last night...”

He took a deep breath.

No. 11 didn’t complain about No. 10 but continued analyzing:

“Since you found No. 7 to be ‘golden water,’ the faction should be pretty clear. You voted out No. 9 last night, so the wolves must have rushed the vote. I suggest looking for them among this group—like I said last round, maybe target No. 5, check No. 6, or accuse No. 8 or No. 2.”

“You can just listen to what No. 7 has to say. I’m done.”

He pointed out who he thought were wolves, then passed the mic.

After all, the seer might not listen to his advice.

“Player No. 12, please start speaking.”

“It’s my turn. Last round, I voted for No. 5 because I thought No. 11’s reasoning about the last position was quite sensible. No. 5 seems like a wolf no matter how you look at it.”

“It made no sense for the vote to go to No. 9 in that round. There was no need to target him if you could just check him. But since he’s already out, I won’t say more. I’ll vote for No. 5 now. This is a mutual wolf pit. Passing.”

Crazy Iron Cockroach Foot, though convinced that No. 10 was the seer, didn’t want to follow his lead to vote for a possibly good player.

Especially not to get someone eliminated.

That would cost points.

Big points!

They were fanatics and would never accept such a result.

“Player No. 2, please start speaking.”

“Well, I voted for No. 9 yesterday because the seer pointed at him.”

No. 2, Circle Painter, spoke with an awkward smile and then explained:

“First, I didn’t really think No. 9 was a wolf, but since he voted against the seer, there was a slight chance he was a wolf.”

“Plus, the seer voted for him, so I thought it better to let the seer’s vote decide rather than risk the wolves eliminating a good player in the outer seats.”

“That was my reasoning for voting for No. 9. Since No. 10 confirmed No. 7 as a good player, I shouldn’t have defended wrongly yesterday. This round, I’ll vote for No. 5 again since No. 5 attacked No. 7 yesterday—there’s no problem with that.”

“Passing.”

“Player No. 4, please start speaking.”

The previous speakers had been brief.

No. 4 stood with some excitement:

“Last night was a peaceful night. Looks like the guardian did something right. Not bad, not bad.”

No. 5 squinted slightly at this praise.

No one else had mentioned the peaceful night.

And this guy was openly praising it?

Could No. 4 be the guardian?

“I voted for No. 5 yesterday because he seemed like a wolf, and since No. 11, the ‘golden water,’ also suggested voting for No. 5, I agree with voting for him.”

No. 4 sincerely praised the guardian.

Turning a peaceful night around could make up for the loss of a good player last round.

As a good player, he was quite happy.

But from a different perspective, the wolves saw his joy as the guardian’s pride in protecting the right person.

No. 4 thought for a moment but decided not to reveal his identity this round, as it would be most beneficial.

“I won’t reveal my identity this round. I’ll vote for No. 5 and listen to what others have to say. Passing.”

Upon hearing this, No. 5 became more certain that No. 4’s true role was the guardian.

His eyes brightened.

He had already started planning ahead.
