Chapter 135: Wheel/Plate at Sea (13)

Su Yue led the group outside, and the captain was crying behind them, biting his handkerchief.

Of course he wasn't really crying, but his resentful expression made him look like he was about to cry.

The players all looked at the captain with a mixture of 50% amusement and 50% sympathy, then passed by him and followed Su Yue and Cang Zhi from the cabin on the underground floor, along the water trail, to the deck.

The captain waited until most people had left, and finally remembered that he was a majestic and threatening NPC.

He cleared his throat and shouted in a cold voice: "Expeditioners! I'm solemnly warning you! If you disrespect the captain, the captain——"

Before he finished speaking, there was a creaky sound and the last tightly closed hatch was pushed open.

The man in sunglasses walked out of the cabin, stretching lazily. He had obviously just woken up, with messy hair and collar.

The man in sunglasses glanced at the captain and asked, "What's the matter?"

Captain: QAQ

The captain was silent for a long time, swallowing his anger and saying: "Captain, you can wait a while before continuing."

Everyone: “…”

.

The water traces continued along the hatch to the first deck, and from the first deck to the side of the ship, with obvious signs of dragging.

At this point the answer is obvious: the missing player was dragged into the sea by something.

If you count the number of people, you will find that two people are missing, namely the two people living in the crew cabin next door.

The captain, who had fallen behind, finally caught up. Seeing the bewildered crowd gathered at the side of the ship, he said proudly, "I'm sure you've discovered by now that there are mysterious and unpredictable monsters hidden in the sea. If you..."

Su Yue interrupted expressionlessly: "What dragged them down?"

captain:.

The captain was silent for a long time, then squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Seafarer."

Everyone: ???

Is this possible?

"What is a seafarer?" Su Yue asked again.

The captain was silent for a long time and then said, "I can't tell you."

While everyone was disappointed, they also felt that this made sense.

We can't let him exploit the NPCs at will. If they pass the level by just forcing them like this, wouldn't all their previous efforts seem like a joke?

Su Yue continued to exploit the captain's limited value. He asked, "Then how can we avoid being killed by the sea guest?"

The captain was so angry that his face turned grim. After struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Don't look at it curiously when the passengers are on board. It won't be able to take anyone's life."

Su Yue: "Thank you very much."

captain:"……"

You still think you're polite, right?

.

Yu Xi...

There was a strong wind and rain outside, and the boat was shaking violently. Waves splashed from the railings to the deck, and soon the water stains covered the traces of the players being dragged away.

The sky was as gloomy as night, but it was illuminated by a bright flash of lightning. The black flag on the bow of the ship fluttered in the light of the lightning, creating a thrilling visual effect.

The captain, who had been stuck for a long time, finally remembered what he was supposed to do.

"Expeditioners, I need to tell you a piece of news," the captain said. "Because of the storm, I will not be able to provide you with any food from today on."

He spread his hands and said, "You should understand that in this kind of weather, there is no way to fish."

At this moment, bright lightning streaked across the night sky, and everyone's face turned pale.

In the game "Sea Roulette", everyone has "Corruption Disease" on their body. This debuff not only makes their combat effectiveness only 50% of the usual level, but also, from the current point of view, only eating can prevent players from dying from "Corruption Disease".

So what does it mean to suddenly have no food to eat?

The captain seemed to enjoy the players' panic and speculation. He clapped his hands leisurely and observed everyone's expressions. The feathers on the top of his pirate hat trembled in the strong wind, giving him the attitude of a superior.

Until his glance met Su Yue's eyes.

captain:"……"

Su Yue looked at the captain indifferently, raised his hand calmly, and made a "wiping neck" gesture.

captain:"…………"

The captain cleared his throat and decisively began to advance the plot: "But at the same time, I have good news for you all. That is, starting today, you can go to land to find food."

In the storm, the outline of the city can be vaguely seen at the end of the sight. In fact, that outline can be seen every day.

Sure enough, the ghost ship appeared in the storm, which meant that they could finally get in touch with the outside world and the game entered a new stage.

"Our ship will soon dock at the harbor, and the expeditioners can then go to land to find food."

"However, there are some rules that you need to pay attention to when looking for food," said the captain.

Great, the rules are back.

"Everyone must find enough food for the day before the bell rings at sunset, otherwise they will die of exhaustion at night, and any excess food cannot be saved until tomorrow."

"You cannot stray too far from the harbor on land, as you are expeditioners belonging to this ship. When you are about to step out of bounds, you will be warned not to violate them."

The rules up to this point are still very normal, and everyone goes to the harbor to find food by themselves. But precisely because it is too normal, people are completely uneasy, because there must be other designs behind it that make "finding food" not so simple at all.

Sure enough, the captain continued:

"We will give each expeditioner a food bag. You can put any food you collect into the bag. Only the food in the bag can be brought on board. Once the food is in the bag, it cannot be opened again. You can only eat after the bell rings and we gather on deck."

"However," the captain suddenly raised his voice, "two of the expedition members will not be able to gather food. Instead, their ability is 'stealing.'"

The scene, where some people were originally whispering, suddenly became silent.

"A thief's ability is to see the contents of other people's food bags and switch their own food bags with others. Only thieves know each other's identities. Thieves cannot gather food. They can only survive by getting close to other expedition members, using skills, and stealing their food."

"Before dinner in the evening, we will sit together for a meeting and ultimately vote for a 'thief'."

"If you choose correctly, the thief will be punished."

"If the wrong choice is made, a random member of the expedition who is not a thief will be executed."

"Or, if no one votes, tonight will pass peacefully, and those who have nothing to eat will have nothing to eat."

"As long as the execution is completed, an extra meal will be awarded. In addition, the meal of the executed person will be distributed to those who have no food. In other words, no one will die except the executed person."

"There's another expeditioner who's a 'physician.' A physician is definitely not a thief. Before the evening meeting, the 'physician' can pre-select an expeditioner for 'healing.' The healed expeditioner will automatically receive a meal. If the expeditioner is executed, the quota will be transferred to another random person. Do I understand?"

.

In other words, the second stage is similar to Werewolf.

Among the 11 people, 9 are good guys and 2 are wolves, but unlike the rules of Werewolf, the key to this game lies in the meeting time in the evening.

If no one votes, that is, no execution is carried out, two people will die, and if execution is carried out, one person will die. Therefore, in order to avoid the outcome of "not voting and people without food will starve to death", the thieves will definitely use stealing skills, and in order to avoid the death of one person, the expeditioners will definitely vote at the end of the meeting.

Because an extra meal will be delivered to the meeting, it is calculated that no one else will die except the person who is executed.

Therefore, the key to being a good person is to figure out the wolf's identity. Otherwise, if you choose the wrong person, you may be killed indiscriminately.

The wolves not only have to steal things, but also have to hide themselves, otherwise they will die immediately if they are thrown out.

The real cheat is actually "doctor". It can be imagined that anyone who can obtain the identity of a doctor will use it for himself, because it is equivalent to a golden medal of immunity from death on that day.

But the problem with the doctor's identity is that due to the randomness of the execution, everyone who gets this card will definitely protect themselves, but they may not be the one who has no food to eat or is executed that day.

In other words, the probability of missing a skill is actually very high.

In fact, if everyone cooperates well with the Physician card, a perfect ending should be achieved. However, in such a situation where there is no trust, it is possible that everyone will lie in order to deceive the Physician's skills, and then this card will simply be a life-saving card.

.

"Come here and draw your identity cards." The captain smiled and took out a box, and everyone walked up one by one to draw the cards.

Su Yue drew the most common Expeditionary ID card. As soon as the person behind him took the card, he shouted loudly, "Doctor, just protect me! I'm a thief! After protecting me, just vote for me. No one else has to die! Do you hear me?"

"Don't believe him!" someone shouted immediately, "He's just trying to trick you into thinking you'll be spared from death! If you really vote for him and make the wrong choice, who knows? He won't be executed anyway, so don't be fooled!"

There's already a lack of trust in this kind of game, so the atmosphere becomes tense as soon as two people start arguing. However, because everyone else is busy looking at their own cards, no one has time to pay attention to them, so soon even the argument becomes boring.

After the identity cards were drawn, everyone dispersed and stood apart.

Because no one knew how the thief stole things, and no one trusted each other's identities, everyone kept their distance.

As long as the good guys vote out the thief during the meeting, they will not die. As long as the thief misleads the good guys, he will not die. In this way, the 11 people are naturally divided into two camps.

Su Yue, Cang Zhi and Su Chen still stick together. They revealed their identities to each other at the beginning. All three of them are ordinary people explorers.

"How are we going to play?" Su Chen asked.

"Let's not talk about Werewolf for now." Su Yue said, "Werewolf doesn't affect the main storyline."

Su Chen then realized that he had been led astray by the captain and asked hurriedly: "Then what should we do with the main plot?"

"Since we can't find any information on the ship, we can only look under it," Su Yue said. "Let's be careful to keep our distance from everyone and go to the harbor to ask if anyone knows the legend of the ghost ship."
