Chapter 192 Werewolves and Witch
At this moment, the head portrait of Judge flashed again and a voice message came: “My dear players, we’re really sorry to announce that the network system has broken down, so you can’t quit the game temporarily. Our technicians are trying to repair it. Please wait!”
Everyone looked at each other. No one expected that they would encounter this kind of situation!
Hu Lei said, “I have played this so many times, but it’s the first time I’ve encountered this kind of situation! The problem is that we might have to stay in the game for a few days if they take five minutes outside to repair it! Well, after going back, I will not be a spokesman for this game! How could they trap all the players here?”
Long Xi helped Aunt Sakurako sit down and held the little girl in her arms, saying gently, “You should calm down since you have come here. It’s just a game. Let’s continue playing! It’s okay. We can go back. It’s just a matter of time. Mumu, don’t be afraid. Your sisters and brothers will protect you. Aunt Sakurako, don’t worry, we will take care of you.”
After all, the little girl was just a kid. She cried badly and could not stop.
Aunt Sakurako was also tearful and could not stop sobbing.
Long Xi felt worried about them.
Yamamoto Longsan also felt self-blame and whispered, “It’s my fault. It’s my fault! I’m sorry!”
Aunt Sakurako grabbed Yamamoto Longsan’s hands and said in a low voice, “Longsan, promise me. If anything happens or Mumu and I meet some dangers at the same time, you should save Mumu first. I beg you. Don’t hesitate to save her first. I promise to repay your kindness in the afterlife…”
Yamamoto Longsan felt more ashamed.
“Aunt Sakurako, it’s okay, you can trust me. We will be fine,” Hu Lei said.
At the end of their talk, another scream came from the distance.
The Judge on the phone said: “Werewolves have killed a player this night. Prophet can verify the identity of the player.”
Long Xi verified Hu Lei’s identity by guessing and confirmed that he was not a Werewolf.
Long Xi said, “Don’t be influenced by others. We will not get out, nor will the other players. We are all players, ordinary people, not true killers! Don’t panic!” Aunt Sakurako said,” Little girl, I think you are a wise person. Mumu and I will follow your instructions.”
Long Xi smiled and said, “In fact, the key to the game is the voting in the daytime. Only then can the Villagers have the right to fight against the Werewolves. Therefore, what we have to do now is figure out who the Werewolves are.”
“How can we verify the identity of the Werewolves? Do you have any idea?” Hu Lei asked.
“How about this? We suggest that we should be honest with each other and can share our identities,” Long Xi said.
Hu Lei said, “You can’t do that because it violates the rules of the game!”
Long Xi rolled her black eyes and said with a smile, “How about playing a game to compete on whose handwriting is the best? The winner can drink a glass of water.”
There were a porcelain pot and cups on the table with water in the pot.
Long Xi poured water from the porcelain pot into a cup, dipped the water with her finger, and wrote the word “Villager” on the table.
In fact, the character she got was Prophet, but she was still not sure about them, so she intentionally hid her real identity.
Hu Lei followed her method and wrote the word “Cupid” on the table.
Oh, he got the character Cupid!
Of course, he was also likely to hide his identity!
Long Xi smiled at Hu Lei.
The reason why she proposed to do this was to try and test someone instead of expecting everyone to be honest.
Yamamoto Longsan wrote the word “Cuiren” in Japanese, which meant “Villager” in Chinese.
Aunt Sakurako wrote “Hunter”, then wrote down “Villager” after pointing at Mumu.
“Have you ever played Werewolf Kill before?” Long Xi asked Aunt Sakurako.
“I have played the table game before instead of the real-life version,” she answered.
“The key to this game is to find out the Werewolves’ flaws through the players’ speech. We can find some clues to confirm who the Werewolves are,” Long Xi said.
Hu Lei said, “Therefore, the voting time tomorrow will be vital. We should focus on what the others say or do. Then, analyze them.”
Yamamoto Longsan said dejectedly, “It’s tough for me. Except for cooking, I know nothing! I trust others too easily and can’t tell if someone lies to me.”
Long Xi could not help bursting into laughter and said, “Don’t just analyze through what you have seen, but with your heart. Don’t just listen with your ears, but with your heart.”
“For example?” Aunt Sakurako asked.
“For example, Aunt Sakurako just lied to us. Mumu is not a Villager, right?” Long Xi became serious and stared at Aunt Sakurako.
Aunt Sakurako lowered her head and her eyes got wet.
She held Mumu and burst into crying. Her tears fell down like broken pearls.
Mumu said in an innocent tone, “I’m a Werewolf!”
“What?” Yamamoto Longsan was totally shocked.
Long Xi said, “Aunt Sakurako, it’s okay. I can understand your mood. Truly, I can. Rest assured. I will not tell others.”
Hu Lei nodded and said, “I won’t tell anyone, either.”
Aunt Sakurako smacked Mumu heavily and scolded her. “Why did you grab the Werewolf? Are you crazy?”
Mumu answered through tears, “How could I know? I heard that Werewolf is the most interesting character!”
Hu Lei asked, “So how did you kill a player just now? I did not see it!”
Mumu answered, “I haven’t killed anyone yet.”
Long Xi said, “It should have been another Werewolf that started killing.”
Hu Lei became more serious and asked, “Who is the other Werewolf?”
Mumu said, “I don’t know. He did not come for me!”
Hu Lei said, “If you know, you should tell us. We will help you.”
Mumu said obediently, “Okay, brother Hu Lei, I trust you.”
Long Xi said, “In fact, we shouldn’t be too nervous. This is just a game! Being happy is the most important thing while playing a game. It’s normal to win or lose! Even the Werewolves don’t truly kill anyone. Players are only killed in the game and will not really die. We should keep calm!”
Aunt Sakurako asked Long Xi, “How did you figure out that Mumu is a Werewolf?”
Long Xi said, “I always pay attention to your expressions. Sometimes, people will reveal their true expressions on their faces! Aunt Sakurako and Mumu, you should try not to expose your expressions and small gestures. If you can’t hold your mood, you should show no expressions. It’s the so-called poker face.”
Aunt Sakurako and Mumu nodded and said, “Got it!”
Long Xi said somewhat nervously, “You should practice your poker face. Otherwise, the other players can tell your identities easily during the speech tomorrow. Mr. Yamamoto, you’d better practice it, too.”
Yamamoto Longsan nodded.
Hu Lei said with a smile, “I don’t have to practice it because I am an actor! Mumu, who are you going to kill? You can’t kill anyone in this room!”
Mumu said, “I don’t know. I just heard the Judge speak in my ears and he asked me to take action at once. He said that I can tell him the player’s username if I want to kill him. The Judge will allow that one to be killed by the Werewolves.”
Yamamoto Longsan asked Long Xi, “What should we do? If she doesn’t kill someone, she will break the rules of the game and will be killed by the system.”
Long Xi said, “It will be better for us to know who the Witch is. Witch has an antidote. If the Werewolves kill her, she can save herself! However, we know nothing now. I also don’t know which account Qiuzi is! She’s our enemy…”
Mumu said with some fear, “The Judge told me that I will break the rules if I don’t kill anyone!”
Yamamoto Longsan said, “There’s no other way. You can just pick one casually. The man living in the next room is named ‘Golden Belt for Killing and Setting Fire’. Hmph, going by his name, he must be a bad guy! Just choose him!”
Mumu whispered, “‘Golden Belt for Killing and Setting fire’.”
“F*ck! Who is setting me up?” A man screamed and rushed out of the house with a knife inserted into his chest. His blood sprayed out and covered his body.
Rushing to the firewood, he fell down.
Mumu threw herself into Aunt Sakurako’s arms with her whole body trembling. Aunt Sakurako covered her eyes and did not allow her to see this scene.
Long Xi and the others were also shocked to see this.
“Horrible! It is horrible!”
Long Xi felt very uncomfortable.
She felt like she had a high fever, just like the one she had when she was young. Her forehead felt as hot as a soldering iron, while her body was trembling because of coldness, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. It was useless for her to cover herself up with many quilts.
Even though she knew it wasn’t real, she still felt uncomfortable when seeing a living person die in front of her.
Hu Lei said, “I realize that Werewolves use their minds to kill someone. But except for the Little Girl with inner eyes, no one can watch the whole process when the Werewolves kill someone.”
But then, a very dramatic scene happened!
A bottle of potion flew from the house to the man’s mouth.
The potion flowed into the man’s mouth.
Then the man woke up.
He stood up and it seemed like he was not someone who had been stabbed by a knife.
It was the Witch!
She rescued the man with her antidote.
Besides that, they could tell that the Witch was in that house.
The man woke up, seriously looking at the house where Long Xi and Hu Lei stayed, and viciously murmured, “Werewolf, I’ve figured out who you are, haha!”
Hu Lei shivered in the room and quickly closed the door tightly.
Mumu cried and twitched in Aunt Sakurako’s arms, shouting, “I don’t want to kill anyone, but I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
Long Xi sighed and said to Aunt Sakurako, “It’s been a day of tiredness. You should go to sleep first. Don’t think too much. We can figure out a method after a good sleep. Let’s call it a day.”
Aunt Sakurako wiped her tears and carried Mumu back to the room.
Yamamoto Longsan said, “How can we leave this damn place?”
Hu Lei shrugged and said, “I don’t know yet.”
Long Xi said, “Now, should we help Mumu or not? I think she’s pitiful.”
Hu Lei said, “Then you must first ensure that you are not executed by voting. I think you’re also tired and should have a rest first.”
