Card Room

It was dawn.

[Bloody Night Watch, Round 6: Day]

[Last night, No. 21, No. 25 and No. 29 were brutally killed.]

Liu Qiao couldn’t help being stunned when she saw this. Qu Wanyue was No. 25. The wolves couldn’t have killed Qu Wanyue so she must’ve been killed by the demon hunter. Liu Qiao originally took the initiative to jump out to attract the attention of the demon hunter but they didn’t fall into the trap. Instead, they hunted Qu Wanyue?

Qu Wanyue’s performance had no obvious flaws unless…

The hunter guessed that Qu Wanyue’s flower butterfly was a fake.

In the fourth round of Christmas Eve, it wasn’t caused by Qu Wanyue hugging a werewolf. On second thought, when No. 35 jumped out to question Xiao Lou, Qu Wanyue was the first to speak for Xiao Lou. She said she was the flower butterfly and she hugged No. 35, so that the wolves couldn’t kill. Perhaps at that time, the demon hunter was already suspicious of her identity.

The most likely thing was that the demon hunter and the dead flower butterfly were teammates. So from the demon hunter’s perspective, Qu Wanyue pretending to be the flower butterfly meant she was definitely a wolf. It didn’t matter how he analyzed it. Hunting Qu Wanyue last night didn’t have much of an effect on the big picture.

Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou and the others soon calmed down. Before anyone had time to speak, several prompts appeared in their floating boxes.

[The No. 7 apostle of the bloody night has exploded so we will immediately enter night.]

[All the celestial skills will be sealed.]

The werewolves knew that Ye Qi was going to explode today but for the good people, this news was like a bolt from the blue! No. 7?! The one who analyzed and vowed yesterday that the wolves had collapsed?

He jumped out to claim the identity of grave keeper, saying that the tombstones of No. 20 and 35 had ‘werewolf’ written on them, indignantly scolding others for slandering the prophet. This No. 7? He was actually the apostle of the blood moon? Then everything he saw before was false and it was actually the opposite?

Then it was very likely that No. 20, 35 and 23 voted out by everyone were good people. It wasn’t the wolves but the good camp that collapsed… the good people who had this thought felt complicated and that they were fools.

Since Ye Qi exploded, it directly entered the night and sealed the celestial card skills. The wolves could easily kill two more to stabilize victory.

Yu Hanjiang glanced at the card wall. There were still 5, 8, 11, 12, 17, 18, 24…

The No. 24 Cupid and No. 11 Xiao Lou had to be kept until the last day. He wasn’t in a hurry to kill the No. 5 Shao Qingge and No. 18 Liu Qiao. Among the remaining 8, 12 and 17, No. 17 was the bewitcher. Who was the demon hunter out of No. 8 and 12?

He had to choose one. He thought carefully about the speeches of these two people but almost all of it was no contribution. In fact, it didn’t matter who they killed. They could kill one at night and cast one out during the day.

Yu Hanjiang made a decision. “Kill 12 and 17, vote out 8.”

Since Ye Qi’s self-explosion caused all celestial skills to be sealed, the bewitcher couldn’t find a substitute and could only die.

[Bloody Night Watch, Round 7: Day]

The others cast sympathetic gazes at him.

The man told them, “I am the demon hunter. In fact, I saw something was wrong on Christmas Eve in the fourth round. The No. 25 flower butterfly must be fake because the real flower butterfly is No. 31, my teammate who was killed by the wolves in the second round. Then I found that the prophet had been guiding everyone to vote the good people out and that the witch was also standing with the prophet… I realized that your goal was probably to slaughter the village so I didn’t expose the prophet.”

“After all, it is too difficult to bring the good camp to victory with my strength. On the contrary, the wolves can communicate with each other and you have a higher rate of winning. Later, I killed 33 and 10 and finally 25 last night in order to complete my hidden task. The demon hunter had to hunt at least three werewolves at night. This is my hidden task.”

He calmly retreated. “There isn’t much to say. Vote me out.”

Then he smiled and glanced at Yu Hanjiang. “The wolves’ commander is very great. This time, all our teams should be able to get a perfect clearance. If I guessed right, No. 1 and 11 are true lovers?”

The demon hunter was also a very good player. He killed three wolves on his own. It was just that it was too difficult to bring the good camp to victory. Everyone would question each other’s identities. They weren’t a team so there was no way to achieve absolute trust…

This was unlike the werewolves who could speak at night without any identity concerns.

In fact, in the beginning, the good camp had the advantage in terms of number of people and cards. The biggest advantage of the werewolves was unity. Some werewolves guided their teammates to their side so the wolves finally controlled the game.

No. 5 and No. 2 didn’t speak. Finally, Yu Hanjiang stated calmly, “No. 8 demon hunter, you did your best.”

He did his best. If he came forward to expose Xiao Lou’s lie then the chaotic situation would ensure that neither the werewolves nor the good camp could win. Therefore, he chose to be patient when he saw that Xiao Lou, Liu Qiao and Ye Qi were cooperating to speak nonsense. This was the smartest way.

Everyone voted for No. 8. Even No. 8 voted for himself and was out.

It became dark.

[Bloody Night Watch, Round 8: Night]

There were nine people left. Five wolves and four good people. The four good people were Shao Qingge, Liu Qiao, Xiao Lou and Cupid.

Yu Hanjiang ordered, “Kill No. 5 and No. 18.”

[Bloody Night Watch, Round 8: Day]

[Last night, No. 5 and No. 18 were brutally killed!]

[The No. 1 wolf king chose to explode and shot to take away No. 24. No. 11 died for love.]

[The good people are gone and the game is over.]

The wolf king self-destructed to kill Cupid and the prophet died from love. The couple lived with Cupid until the eighth day and the hidden mission was successfully completed.

***

All the people locked up in the small black rooms were released by the keeper. A prompt appeared on each of their floating boxes.

[The werewolves successfully slaughtered the village and killed all 24 good people. They reached the perfect clearance conditions.]

[You will leave the village in 10 minutes.]

Once again, everyone gathered in the village’s central square. This time, everyone’s chests contained their identity cards and they could clearly see everyone’s identities. People returning from the small dark rooms were stunned by the result.

No. 6 and 16 who were out of the game on the first day said, “We were too comfortable lying down and winning, right?”

No. 26 who was killed the next day said, “I am the elder. I didn’t have time to play when I was killed the next night… is my luck good or bad?” It was bad but then he got a perfect clearance? There were so many people yet the wolves blindly killed him on the first night. After losing his immunization, he was killed on the second night?

No. 20 stared at Xiao Lou. “You really are the prophet! Then why send a knife to me? I am a good person. How did you check that I am a werewolf?”

His teammate next to him patted his shoulder. “Don’t you understand? The prophet and wolf king are lovers. Lovers just want to be together. The prophet has long been in the arms of the wolf king.”

There was a burst of laughter around them. Then No. 10 said, “I am the werewolves’ prophet but I feel that No. 11 was more like the werewolves’ prophet. He helped the werewolves so much.”

The No. 28 fire wolf joked. “No. 11, I was really convinced by your acting skills. What was that about the fire wolf’s rage permanently making you lose your skills? My god, I hadn’t done anything to you. Your ultimate act of trying to scam me made me stunned! By the way, did you graduate from an acting school?”

No. 35 walked up to Xiao Lou in a dumbfounded manner. “I was wondering why it was so strange. Why do your votes always get good people out? I thought you were a fake prophet. As a result… you and the wolf king were lovers and you were helping the wolves!”

The people around them joked, “No. 11 says that my love is a werewolf. All you good people must die.”

Someone told the No. 24 Cupid, “Your Cupid’s arrow is really magical. You not only helped the werewolves win the game but all of our teams managed to pass the level perfectly!”

The group had a lively conversation.

Xiao Lou was surrounded by everyone and was a bit embarrassed. He shook his fist at them apologetically.  “Sorry everyone, I couldn’t do anything else. Cupid connected the wolf king to me on the first day and I could only help the wolves.”

People recalled the many details of what happened. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that the command of the wolf king, the logic of the prophet and the cooperation of the other werewolves and some celestial cards was really too magical.

There was a discussion and the players selected the most outstanding players in this game.

First place at opening his eyes and speaking nonsense: No. 7 Ye Qi. That righteous indignation and vowing. He pretended to be a good person only to blow himself up?

The reversal king: Yu Hanjiang. Obviously, he was the wolf king but he became the sheriff of the good camp. No. 23 and 21 questioned him and he stared at them for a few seconds. On the contrary, the two people felt a strong sense of guilt and that they were at fault?

Fishing in troubled waters: Witch Liu Qiao. When speaking, truth and lies were mixed and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the lies. Many people listened in a daze.

The strongest logic: Xiao Lou. This was the first time they had seen a prophet who could persuade people with every ‘wrong’ theory.

The most helpless person: No. 8 demon hunter. He had long seen that the group of people were acting but there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation. He could only accompany them in their acting.

The luckiest person: Cupid.

It was a magical arrow. Not only did he complete the hidden task, he also allowed all teams to get the perfect clearance achievement.

Seeing that the 10 minutes were almost up, the strangers who gathered together said goodbye to each other. The No. 24 young man came over and shook hands with Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang respectively. He said with a smile, “As a couple shot by my arrow, the two of you have a tacit understanding that is even better than a couple. It surprised me!”

Other people also came over to shake hands with them. “Thank you, you are the best prophet I have ever seen.”

“We passed the level perfectly thanks to you.”

”I look forward to meeting you again in the future. Good luck!”

”Jiayou everyone, I hope you complete the level perfectly!”

After these goodbyes, the people gradually disappeared from in front of them. The first time they entered the Werewolf instance, everyone was afraid they would be eliminated. In the end, after everyone’s analysis and reasoning, the unanimous goal was quickly achieved: the wolf team had to slaughter the village.

It wasn’t only the credit of Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang that they could pass the level perfectly. There were also great players such as Cupid, the demon hunter, the gargoyle, etc. Although it was the first time many of them had met today, Xiao Lou believed that the blessings they gave when they parted were true.

‘Whether or not we see each other in the future, I hope you can also get the perfect clearance results. Good luck.’
