Turbid Light

The flying documents were stagnant in the old document room, people were turning the pages one by one, searching for clues in them, the bright and clean papers exuded the beauty that paper should have in the hands of the young man, both sides were always busy in waves, studying, working, and living a routine life, Qu An did not get involved in any major cases, Chen An was in the archives room, and Jiang Li was in the library.

One day in December, heavy snow suddenly fell and the temperature dropped to more than ten degrees below zero. Qu'an ushered in the coldest winter in history.

The continuous snow blocked the roads. On the main roads, snowplows worked day and night. The school made an exception and moved up the exam time. So on December 27, Jiang Li finished all the exams. When he returned to the dormitory, everyone was packing their things to go home.

He carefully walked through the open suitcase, finally stuffed a few clothes from the closet into his schoolbag, and walked into the snow with an umbrella.

The snow today was lighter than the previous two days. He had never seen such heavy snow before, nor had he experienced such a cold winter. He had no experience in winter and his neck felt empty. A gust of wind changed the destination of the snowflakes. His neck felt cold and the snow disappeared.

There were a lot of cars stuck at the school gate. Taxi drivers, wearing coats and holding cigarettes, were "enthusiastically" soliciting passengers. They had thought their target customers would only be those pushing suitcases, but it turned out that they didn't let him go either. Jiang Li quickly waved his hand and pointed ahead, "My house is just across the street!"

The driver turned to look for other targets. At a glance, he saw that the trunk of the car was completely open and filled with suitcases, which could not be closed at all. However, the driver was still reluctant to leave and greedily recruited more students.

Not long after, a police car drove over here, and the taxi driver was quick-eyed and drove away before the other party caught him.

Jiang Li muttered to himself: No wonder police cars like to park in front of the university gate.

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder. Li Ziyang was standing under the umbrella with him, pushing a suitcase. He didn't say anything, as if he was also waiting for someone.

Jiang Li tilted the umbrella slightly towards him. From his observation, Li Ziyang seemed not as lively as before. He spoke less and he didn't know what had happened.

"Who are you waiting for?" he asked.

"Waiting for my boyfriend." Jiang Li replied.

He has always been open about having a boyfriend.

Li Ziyang knew who he was talking about, so he forced a smile and said, "Happy New Year."

He was taller than Li Ziyang, and the marks on the boy's thin skin could be vaguely seen through his unzipped windbreaker. He almost instinctively grabbed the person who was turning to leave and said, "Call me if you need help." He raised his cell phone.

Li Ziyang turned around and looked at him steadily. The next second, a strong arm pulled him away from Jiang Li's umbrella of protection, and he was taken under someone else's umbrella.

The latter was still looking at Jiang Li with hostility. His cell phone happened to ring. Jiang Li answered the call immediately. Turning around, he saw Chen An leaning against the car body. His dark woolen coat fell to his knees. He answered the phone with one hand and held a light-colored scarf in the other hand that didn't match his outfit.

Jiang Li's smile was too obvious. He just said "I'm leaving first" and ran towards the man impatiently.

In a short while, the snow fell all over his head. Jiang Li raised his hand to hold the umbrella, and the other party wrapped the scarf around his neck.

"Didn't I tell you to bring a scarf this morning?"

In fact, he saw the scarf in the living room, but he was almost late and didn't have time to take the scarf. He just ran to school with a pen and student ID.

"I forgot."

This person was not right but he was very arrogant, but he couldn't do anything to Jiang Li.

Chen An pinched his earlobe lovingly and said, "Let's go home."

On the overpass, Li Ziyang watched the car go away. The person next to him pinched his shoulder, and then the umbrella handle was suddenly stuffed into his hand. His cold hand covered the residual warmth of the umbrella handle, and he looked down to see a furry head.

He stared blankly at the other person tying the knot over and over again.

Li Ziyan once said that his vision was too narrow and he could only see the person he liked. He would be happy if he got the person he liked, but if he didn’t get the person, he would stubbornly hurt himself and would not open his eyes to look at other people.

A snowfall, going up and down the overpass, holding an umbrella and riding in a car separate two completely different paths, and he is actually not alone.

Jiang Li, who stayed up all night for several days to finish his final exams, is now extremely sleep-deprived. He goes to sleep after dinner, takes a nap after waking up, takes a shower and goes to sleep again. Even though he has slept for a long time, he still can't get up the next day.

In the morning, when Chen An went to work, Jiang Li was still sleeping and showed no intention of waking up. Through him, Chen An gained a new understanding of the sleep of contemporary college students.

At around ten o'clock, there was movement in the message box. The sleepyhead at home finally woke up. Chen An replied to his message and told him that there was breakfast in the microwave.

The feeling of sleeping for a long time was so pleasant that he indulged in it and slept like crazy for several days and nights. But in the blink of an eye, the luxurious comfort made him feel uneasy, as if his brain should not relax and he should not stop. To be honest, when his left and right brains were fighting each other, he really wanted to chop off his entire brain. At this moment, he realized how authoritative Nan Jiaxu's principle of "living in the moment" was. He was still practicing.

"What about you?" Jiang Li teased Guazi while pinching a small piece of bread.

Today is the last day of December and also the New Year's Eve that young people are looking forward to. Major satellite TV stations have prepared New Year's Eve programs. The two teams that are not staying behind finally don't have to spend their time in the bureau eating melon seeds and watching boring programs.

In addition to providing meals, the private room also offers drinks and games. There is still some time before midnight. Xun Muke suggested choosing a game from the games provided by the waiter to kill time. The most voted game was Werewolf. The minority obeys the majority, so everyone plays rock-paper-scissors to decide who will be the judge.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

Only Xun Muke and a young girl from the technical team, Zhang Qiuchi, were left on the field. Rock-paper-scissors was her weak point, but she really didn't want to be a judge. "Qiuqiu, please let me go. I really don't want to be a judge."

"How about this, I'll treat you as such from now on." Zhang Qiuchi was understanding and happily took on the role of judge.

Zhang Qiuchi took count and found nine players. After eliminating some unsuitable characters, she began to officially lead the game.

"Now, looking at the rules in your hands, the game is divided into two camps, the good camp and the werewolf camp. The rules are to be slaughtered. The configuration is three civilians. The civilians have no skills and belong to the good camp."

"The three priesthoods are: the Prophet, who can examine one person each night. The Judge will give you instructions based on their identity. If a Hidden Wolf is detected, you are on the Good side. The Witch has two bottles of medicine, one poison and one antidote. If a player is attacked that night, the Witch can choose to use the antidote to save the person, or they can choose to use the poison on one person at night. The Hunter, if voted out during the day, can shoot and take one person away. If killed at night, there will be no last words. The above three also belong to the Good side."

"There are three wolves, two visible wolves and one hidden wolf. The visible wolves meet at night and can choose whether to attack others that night. The hidden wolves do not meet at night and do not have the ability to attack others until the visible wolf is eliminated."

"Do you understand the rules of the game?"

Zhang Qiuchi was a veteran Werewolf player, having played through larger factions than this one. Unfortunately, when he looked up, he was met with confused faces. "Any questions?"

Chen An was the first to put down the rule board and said, "You'll understand what's going on when you start playing."

"Yes, you'll know when you play it."

The identity cards were shuffled and everyone drew one. When checking, everyone consciously kept their distance. The dining table immediately turned into a game table. Jiang Li's eyes went dark when he flipped over the cards.

Zhang Qiuchi said: "The game officially begins. Please close your eyes before it gets dark!"

"Werewolf please open your eyes."

Xun Muke opened his fingers a little, looked around and found Cheng Xiaoxiang beside him, and the two confirmed their identities.

"Please select the player you want to knife."

The two were standing very close to each other. Xun Muke made a "two" gesture with his hand. Starting from the position where Zhang Qiuchi was standing, the next positions were Chen An, Jiang Li, Bai Shuo, Lu Yuyao, Cheng Xiaoxiang, Han Ming, Xun Muke, Wang Jia, and Xiao Cen.

Cheng Xiaoxiang made a negative gesture, pointed to his eyes, and then pointed at Jiang Li, meaning: His reaction just now was not right, he might be with us, don't kill him yet!

Xun Muke had a headache again. They had to take Hidden Wolf into consideration when killing people.

After a round of shopping, I finally chose Knife No. 6, Han Ming.

"Werewolf, please close your eyes. Prophet, please open your eyes. Please choose the person you want to examine."

"Her identity is..." Zhang Qiuchi gave a thumbs down sign, and the prophet understood.

"Prophets please close your eyes, witches please open your eyes."

The witch opened her eyes.

"He's the one who's going to die tonight. You have a bottle of antidote and a bottle of poison. Do you want to save him?"

The witch nodded, and Han Ming was saved.

"Witch, please close your eyes."

"It's dawn. Last night was Christmas Eve," Zhang Qiuchi said. "Next, we'll proceed to the first stage: the Sheriff election. We've stated that anyone can run for Sheriff. The Sheriff is crucial to the good side, leading everyone to find the werewolves when they're at a loss. The Sheriff has the right to return votes, and each Sheriff vote is worth 1.5. Now, the election begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, four people raised their hands: number two Jiang Li, number four Lu Yuyao, number six Han Ming, and number nine Xiao Cen.

"Okay, now please deliver your campaign manifestos in turn, starting with number nine."

Xiao Cen said, "I'm a civilian and above. I know there are many new players here, but I'm not a new player. It's a wise choice to let an experienced player lead the team at this time. I already have a suspect for the werewolf, so everyone should vote for me."

Han Ming learned his words and said, "I am also a member of the people and above. I am definitely a very strong person. It is right for good people to vote for me."

Lu Yuyao was a little confused. She thought many people would report to the police, but in fact, there were only four of them. "I... I'm a good person, a pure civilian. If the other two have higher status than me, they can be given priority. Pass."

Compared to them, Jiang Li's reason for going to the police was much simpler and more crude. "I don't want to vote, so I'm going to the police. Of course, you can vote for me too."

"The campaign players have finished speaking. Does anyone want to withdraw?"

Lu Yuyao raised his hand and said, "I will retreat."

"Please ask the other players to vote for the Sheriff."

Apart from the four players who were on the police, most of the other players gave their tickets to...
