Chapter 289
After leaving the Music Labyrinth and returning to the main city, the expressions of the team members were a bit complicated . Everyone thought this case was a murder due to love but they didn’t expect that the murderer who killed the family would be a woman .
Ye Qi exclaimed, “This is a pair of lilies!” (Lily = girl’s love)
Long Sen, Old Mo, Qu Wanyue and Liu Qiao also had expressions of disbelief .
Yu Hanjiang wasn’t surprised . He had seen many murders due to love in reality, including h.o.m.os.e.xual murders . The murderer could be either male or female . Yu Hanjiang a.n.a.lyzed, “In the beginning, we found the jewelry box treasured by the heroine and inferred that there was a white moonlight in her heart . Therefore, we focused on the two men . This type of conservative thinking is actually a big taboo when it comes to reasoning . No one stipulated that the white moonlight in a woman’s heart must be a man . We shouldn’t ignore other possibilities . ”
Xiao Lou nodded . “Thankfully Xiao Ye discovered the secret of the architectural model . ”
Shao Qingge smiled and looked at Ye Qi . “Xiao Ye’s credit in this maze is very big . ”
The other team members all agreed . Ye Qi was very happy and scratched the back of his head as he asked, “The Diamonds secret room only took an hour and we aren’t hungry . Do you want to go to the next level?”
Yu Hanjiang wondered, “The next level is 9 of Spades . Don’t you need to rest?”
Everyone replied that they didn’t need it . The Diamonds secret room didn’t consume energy and they didn’t feel tired . Yu Hanjiang simply proceeded to pull the 9 of Spades playing card from the wall . The familiar black vortex was generated from the card and everyone’s vision darkened for a moment . A few seconds later, Xiao Lou found that he had appeared in an unfamiliar place .
A huge red full moon was hanging high in the sky . Half of the moon was stained a blood red so the entire environment was extremely dim and the ground seemed stained with blood . There were many dry branches around him and a large number of crows flew by, making harsh sounds .
Xiao Lou had never seen such a big red moon . Obviously, the background of this secret room wasn’t an ordinary modern city . He looked around and didn’t see his teammates . Everyone had been separated again after entering the secret room .
The mechanical, icy voice of the keeper of Spades entered his ears . “Welcome Xiao Lou to 9 of Spades, b.l.o.o.d.y Night Witch . Please take your number and ident.i.ty card . ”
Two brand new cards appeared in Xiao Lou’s hands out of nowhere . The first was a number plate that said 11 .
The second was an ident.i.ty card with the back of the card painted with a b.l.o.o.d.y full moon . Xiao Lou flipped it to the front and saw a curly haired woman in a dark purple lace dress, a magic ball-shaped object in her hand . There was also the word: Prophet .
The moment the ident.i.ty card was turned over, the voice of the keeper, A of Spades once again entered his ears . “The number card you are a.s.signed in this secret room is ‘Number 11’ and the ident.i.ty card is ‘Prophet . ’ The skill of the prophet is that every night, you can check the ident.i.ty of a player and know if they are in the good camp or the werewolf camp . ”
Xiao Lou immediately understood the background of this secret room .
It was a variant of the killing game, similar to ‘Werewolf’ or ‘Close Your Eyes When it is Dark’ . The survival room 9 of Spades was actually similar to the variety show in 9 of Hearts that the stand-in shot in order to help the murderer .
There was an ident.i.ty card in the Werewolf game that can check the ident.i.ty of other people . Xiao Lou was very interested in this type of language reasoning game and often played it in reality . He knew the general rules .
A of Spades continued, “This type is the Werewolf killing game survival secret room . All the challengers have come to a strange village . Every time the blood moon rises and night falls, the werewolves will come out and hunt civilians and celestials . You are the prophet of the celestial . Your teammates can be werewolves, civilians or other characters in the celestial camp . ”
“Please note that unlike traditional Werewolf games, the rules for determining the outcome of this game aren’t based on the three camps of werewolves, villagers and celestials . It is based on your team . ”
“Your clearance condition: Survive 8 days in b.l.o.o.d.y Night Witch and the number of survivors in the team must not be less than four . ”
“During the game, players killed at night and players voted out during the day will leave the village and enter the exile zone . They can only be rescued after clearing the game . If the game time is up and the number of survivors in the team is less than four, the team will be eliminated and enter the Nightmare Room . ”
“No other cards can be used in this secret room . You can only use the skills of your ident.i.ty card . ”
Xiao Lou listened to the rules and couldn’t help being nervous .

In this game, the conditions for clearing it were different and was based on the team .
The thing that gave Xiao Lou a headache was that the eight of them weren’t necessarily in the same camp! Xiao Lou’s ident.i.ty card, the Prophet belonged to the celestial camp . What if a teammate drew a werewolf?
Based on the information disclosed by the keeper, it could be seen that their team wasn’t the only challenger for b.l.o.o.d.y Night Witch . There were also other teams . In a big melee of several times, how to ensure that at least four teammates survived to the end was the headache .
Xiao Lou asked the keeper, “How many challengers are there in this secret room? What ident.i.ty badges are there?”
A of Spades replied, “You’ll know when the game starts . ”
Xiao Lou continued to ask questions . “Are the other rules consistent with the Werewolf game? For example, people who are voted out during the day can express their last words and those killed at night can only say their last words on the first night . Someone will run for sheriff on the first day?”
A of Spades replied, “Yes, the game process is the same as the Werewolf killing game . There will be a village chief to guide you through the game process . However, many new ident.i.ty cards are added to make it more interesting and challenging . ”
Xiao Lou told him, “Understood . Let’s enter the game . ”

Meanwhile, Shao Qingge was looking at his card in a dazed manner .
“The number card you are a.s.signed in this secret room is Number 5 and your ident.i.ty of ‘Dreamer’ belongs to the celestial camp . ”
“Your special skill is: every night, choose a player to become a ‘sleepwalker’ . The selected player doesn’t know they are sleepwalking . The sleepwalker is immune to all damage during the night . However, if you are killed at night then the sleepwalker you choose will die with you . People who are selected as the sleepwalker for two consecutive nights will also die immediately . ”
Shao Qingge had never played the killing game and it was also the first time he saw the ident.i.ty card of ‘Dreamer . ’
He looked carefully at the description on the card . Choosing a person was equivalent to putting a no-injury s.h.i.+eld on them . Dreaming of the same person for two consecutive nights could kill them .
He could attack or defend . This card was very useful . The disadvantage was that if he died, the chosen sleepwalker would also die . It seemed he couldn’t easily choose his teammate . If he died, his teammate would also die .
He looked thoughtfully at the comic-style image on the card and asked, “Are all my teammates celestials?”
“Not necessarily . ”
Shao Qingge raised his eyebrow with surprise . “In other words, some members of my team might be werewolves?”
The keeper nodded . “Yes . ”
***
The three minutes where the ident.i.ties were a.s.signed pa.s.sed and everyone entered the village together .
Warm light shone through the gaps of the leaves and the small wooden houses were arranged in a staggered manner . If it wasn’t for the murder game regarding life and death, this must be a beautiful and peaceful village .
