Chapter 291 (1/2)

Chapter 291

TL: It seems some people are confused about the game . It’s a very popular game in China which is probably why the author didn’t explain all the rules . You can think of it as similar to Mafia (if you’ve played that game) although there are many extra ident.i.ty cards and skills .

Basically, every day the werewolves can kill people at night . Then during the day, every person will get a chance to speak once . If their turn is over and someone accuses them later, they won’t be able to speak to defend themselves so they have to speak well the first time . Once everyone has a chance to speak, they will vote on the person they find most suspicious and that person will be eliminated . Only the first day is different, since a sheriff is elected . The sheriff gets an extra vote and kinda controls the rhythm of the game . The process of the election is that only those who sign up for sheriff can speak and it is just once .

As for the conditions to clear the game, they just have to meet one of the three conditions and the whole team will clear the instance . However, since they couldn’t communicate with each other, they can’t decide on a unified goal and might work against each other . This might end up with none of the conditions being met and the team failing .

A total of nine people partic.i.p.ated in the election for sheriff . They were No . 1, 3, 13, 17, 20, 22, 29, 31 and 34 .

There were 27 people who didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the election and could vote .

The village chief said, “No . 34 will start speaking and then rotate counterclockwise . ”

No . 34 was a very cheerful looking young man . He stood up and cleared his throat before saying, “I am the prophet . I checked No . 6 last night . Why? It is very simple . The number 6 looks auspicious and I found he was a good person . No . 6, I can only talk to you now . You are my golden water . You are a good person so you should keep this golden water medal . ”

“There should be some adorable new people who don’t know how to play so I will explain some professional terms . Golden water is a good person checked by the prophet and can be understood as the good person card . Silver water is the person saved by the witch with the antidote . The proof of golden water is greater than silver water because the person rescued by the witch at night might be a werewolf killing a teammate or committing suicide to waste the antidote . Meanwhile, the good person tested by the prophet won’t be false . ”

“Since I am the first to speak, I can’t talk about whether someone else’s speech is good or not . I can only talk about my own logic . Tonight, I will test either 18 or 19 . It is because there is a high probability of the middle position being a wolf . I revealed myself as the prophet because there is a high probability the wolf will kill me tonight . Guard brother, please protect me tonight and let me report the result of the inspection tomorrow . ”

The real prophet Xiao Lou was sitting in the audience and watching this young man brag so much . He couldn’t help feeling amused . No . 34 was quite playful . He was either a werewolf deliberately pretending to be the prophet to confuse people or a villager or celestial making trouble . His acting skills were pretty good .

After that was No, 31, a s.e.xy beauty with blonde curly hair who spoke calmly . “I listened to No . 34’s words just now . You give No . 6 the golden water but this proof isn’t very strong . No . 6 can’t speak to certify it . I still doubt the ident.i.ty of the prophet and want to see if any other prophets appear . I am a civilian and it is my habit to run for sheriff when playing the Werewolf game . It is because I don’t like standing in the audience and voting . It is very hard if I vote incorrectly . ”

No . 29 said, “No . 34 issued a good person card to become sheriff . It is indeed impossible to tell if it is true or false but his speech is smooth and he doesn’t seem to have a guilty conscience . I will stand aside and watch the follow-up speech . As for the No . 31 beauty, I see you also have a preference for ident.i.ty . Every time I play Werewolf, I have the same mentality as you . I don’t like voting when I get the villager’s card . Voting can always end up on the wrong side which is too difficult . I want to be a sheriff’s candidate to speak . I will die if I can’t speak for a day . ”

The No . 22 girl with the high ponytail spoke loudly, “No . 34, why are you pretending? I am the prophet! No . 34, you must be the werewolf! I checked No . 20 last night and I am sure that No . 20 is a good person . No . 20 can look at your ID and pick up my golden water . I checked No . 20 because I don’t like to check neighbors . I usually skip my neighbor and checking someone in the 20s is easier to remember . I guarantee with my personality that I am the true prophet . Everyone, vote for me as sheriff . Tonight, I’ll check candidates 29 or 31 who partic.i.p.ated in the sheriff’s election . I feel that the two of them are werewolves who likely went to be a sheriff candidate to canva.s.s for votes . I’ll check in the evening . ”

Yu Hanjiang was slightly pleased in his heart . Thankfully, No . 22 was indeed a master . The werewolf who jumped out as the prophet spoke in a confident and upright manner . She was also guaranteed with her personality . Her acting skills were indeed superb . The first step was to become angry with No . 34, the next step was to send a good person to the stranger at No . 30 and pull them to stand with her . The third step was to say she would check 29 and 31 . Both of them spoke well and partic.i.p.ated in the election, which meant they might be werewolves . She verified there was nothing wrong with the logic of the two people .

The players listening were a bit confused . Both 34 and 22 claimed to be the prophet . Who was real and who was false . Xiao Lou heard this and was very clear . Both were false . Still, the No . 22 girl was quite clever . She sent the golden water to No . 20 who happened to be running for the election .

Sure enough, No . 20 immediately followed up . The man smiled and said, “I will accept 22’s golden water . I am indeed an ordinary villager who joined in the election . The 22nd beauty, you said you checked me last night . Maybe you really are the prophet who happened to find me or maybe you are a wolf . Seeing that I can talk, you deliberately sent me the golden water to pull me to your side . I’m not so naive . In my opinion, the two who jumped out as prophet aren’t particularly credible . I’ll see what the following people say first . ”

No . 20 was quite sensible . The most taboo thing about Werewolf was to get a golden water card and then brainlessly stand in support of this person . In fact, a werewolf had a clear perspective . Apart from their werewolf teammates, all others were good people . The werewolf couldn’t make a mistake when sending the golden water .

The feminine-looking No . 13 refuted it . “Friend 17, your speech is too subjective . What expression? He was confident and smiling? He spoke calmly? Don’t you know that in addition to many logical reasoning Werewolf experts, there are also experts in Werewolf who have exquisite acting skills? You can judge by expression and speech alone but I don’t agree . In addition, you said that 34 is very confident while 22 is a bit excited? If 22 is the prophet, can she not be excited if someone else is pretending to be the prophet? Excitement is normal? Based on the logic of their speech, I believe in 22 . ”

The players present had a headache . No . 17 supported 34 while No . 13 supported 22 . Why don’t they team up for a fight?”

The next to speak was the sweet-looking No . 3 . She said weakly, “h.e.l.lo everyone, I don’t know how to play Werewolf that well . I went back to the wooden house last night and saw the 36 cards on the card wall . I only got three minutes to see the skill and I was dizzy reading them . Please forgive me if I don’t speak well . I’m an ordinary villager and just wanted to join in the fun . I will stand with the No . 34 brother . I think he speaks better . I will return the water later . ”

Xiao Lou, “……”

The girl’s voice trembled slightly and she seemed a bit nervous . She emphasized that she couldn’t play and was pretending to be weak to gain sympathy . Then she stood by No . 34 . Yet she knew the professional term ‘return the water’?

Returning the water referred to the practice in which someone raised their hand to partic.i.p.ate in the sheriff’s election only to abandon the campaign . The No . 3 girl could definitely play . She probably had the habit of saying ‘return the water’ and was too nervous so she didn’t pay attention to the details of her words .

Finally, the No . 1 Yu Hanjiang spoke .

Yu Hanjiang stood up . His eyes swept over the audience as he spoke calmly . “I am an ordinary villager . I stood up to run for sheriff just to speak my opinion on the first day . The key to this game is to learn from the language of other people . Final the logical loopholes to a.n.a.lyze if the speaker is a good person or a werewolf . If you are dizzy and can’t judge the ident.i.ty of the other person then you can also abstain during the voting phase . ”

“Let me a.n.a.lyze the few people who spoke just now . ”

“First is No . 34 . In my opinion, 34’s speech is clearly organized . He sent the golden water to No . 6 . No . 6 isn’t partic.i.p.ating in the election and can’t speak or prove his ident.i.ty . The credibility of 34 as the prophet is compromised . However, the prophet verifies people in advance after all . He doesn’t know if the person he checked will partic.i.p.ate in the election the next day . By chance, he checked on No . 6 . It is understandable and he isn’t just sending the golden water to pull people to his side . Therefore, the logic of 34 has no problem . ”

“The logic of 22 is also complete . She sent the golden water to 20 and 20 says he is a good person, but didn’t stand with her . This is the more sensible approach among the good people . Judging from the speeches, 20 and 22 don’t seem to be teammates who have met each other before . From the perspective of 22, 34 is a wolf who jumped out to be the prophet . There must be two werewolves who came to the election to help him speak . It is also normal to test two sheriff candidates, 29 and 31 tonight . ”

“The speeches of both prophets are fine, regardless of whether it is true or false . The logic is clear and I won’t stand on a team for the time being . ”

“Then let’s talk about No . 3 . You can see that No . 3 is very nervous and didn’t pay attention to the details of her speech . You said you can’t play but in the end, you used the professional Werewolf term ‘returning water’? I hope you can speak better next time . At the very least, No . 3 doesn’t have an ordinary villager card . She either has a celestial card or a werewolf card . ”

“Taken together, it is hard to distinguish between the two prophets . I am an unskilled villager . If everyone can’t determine who is the real prophet then you can vote for me and let me lead the team . I have some experience playing Werewolf and I will try my best to help the good people win . There are 24 good people and we have the advantage in number . As long as there is no infighting, our chances are still very good . That is all I will say . ”

The village chief smiled and touched his beard . “The people partic.i.p.ating in the election have expressed their opinions . Next is the voting session . If you want to give up on the election then please put your hand down . ”
