Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor

Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.

The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.

Reborn, he vowed ...

Chapter 233 The Prophet

Hua Yun's speech was concise yet clearly targeted.

The Sheriff's Badge flow is a common tactic for the Seer. Since players who are killed by wolves at night cannot leave a final message and must simply shut up and leave the game, the Seer needs to grab the Sheriff's Badge in order to reveal more information about their investigation to the good guys. This allows them to use the Sheriff's Badge flow to reveal the answers to the good guys' investigations one more time.

If someone dies at night, they cannot speak, but tearing off the sheriff's badge is equivalent to implying that a werewolf was found last night, and transferring the sheriff's badge means that this person was found to be a good person last night, implying that everyone can trust this person.

Because the sheriff has 1.5 votes, he is especially important in the exile vote.

"Speaker number 6," Liu Qingling, who had also been assigned to the police force, looked at Hua Yun with a meaningful smile and said, "I am the real seer, Hua Shao. I don't know if you're trying to shield me from the wolf's attack or if you're a werewolf pretending to be one. Of course, I'd prefer the former. Anyway, now that I, the real seer, have appeared, you can back out. Otherwise, I'll start to suspect that you're a werewolf."

Liu Qingling turned her gaze to Yang Ji: "Also, the person I checked last night was number 2, and he's a good person."

The comments section was filled with: ...

—Hahaha, they clearly targeted number two Yang Ji last night!

—Liu Qingling: Lao Yang, you're a good person!

Yang Ji: Old Liu, all these years of affection have ultimately been misplaced!

—Look at how sincere and trusting Yang Ji's eyes are when he looks at Liu Qingling! He probably really thinks Liu Qingling is a prophet, doesn't he?

We promised to be each other's angels, but you turned on me first!

—Tsk tsk tsk, this has that love-hate vibe!

In the live stream room, Liu Qingling also made a statement, saying that if Huayun didn't back down, he would check Huayun No. 1 tonight.

Liu Qingling spoke so succinctly that it was difficult for everyone to discern which of the two people jumping was the real prophet.

"Speaker number 8, I am a villager or above. The reason I stepped forward is to deal with this situation. If you all find it difficult to distinguish who the real seer is, you can give me the sheriff's badge first. There are definitely werewolves among those who claim to be the seer, right? So don't give the werewolves a chance to get the sheriff's badge. If you can distinguish who the real seer is, you don't need to worry about me." After Qin Ke finished speaking, he waved his hand: "My speech is over, pass."

When it was Wei Shu's turn to speak, he looked left and right, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Well, I'm a good person, and I agree with Xiao Qinzi's statement. There must be a werewolf among the two of you who are claiming to be the seer, and it's even possible that there are two werewolves claiming to be the seer, while the real seer is still observing the situation." After a pause, Wei Shu added, "My purpose in going on the police force is the same as Xiao Qinzi's, but now I'm more inclined to believe that Hua Zi is the real seer, so I'm backing out now. Everyone, please vote among the three of you."

Broadcast: "All players who participated in the election have finished speaking. Players who are not currently on the police force, please begin voting."

Broadcast: "The results of the sheriff election are now being announced:"

Number 1 received 3 votes: 2, 4, and 5.

Number 6 received 1 vote: 3.

Number 8 received 1 vote: 7.

Number 1 received the most votes, so Number 1 became the sheriff.

Broadcast: "The following is the news of a death. The person who died last night was number 2. There were no last words. The game continues."

Staff members immediately appeared, pretended to cover Yang Ji's mouth, and took him away from the round table.

Yang Ji was clearly stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and made an exaggerated struggling motion towards the camera facing him.

At that moment, Liu Qingling instantly switched into acting mode, reaching out her hand to Yang Ji and exclaiming in an exaggerated expression, "No! Old Yang! Don't go!"

Yang Ji: "Mmm mmm!"

Liu Qingling: "Don't worry! I will definitely find all the wolves and avenge you!"

Yang Ji: "Hmm!"

The comments section was filled with "hahahahaha".

Upon hearing this, Yin Chengjue glanced at Liu Qingling, a slight smile playing on his lips, and exchanged a subtle look with Rong Yu.

They did it very discreetly, and no one in the room noticed, but the camera directly in front of them captured the whole thing, causing the live stream chat to erupt in cheers.

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I being subjected to their public displays of affection?

—That quick, fleeting eye contact, it's so sweet! I've found my way home!

—Can those of you shipping them calm down a bit? I don't think their eye contact is just flirting; it looks like they've gotten something out of each other. Was there something wrong with what Liu Qingling said earlier?

—Phew! At least someone noticed. I thought nobody realized Liu Qingling had accidentally gone viral!

—What? Why? Which sentence went viral?

—From our omniscient perspective, it might not be obvious to us, but if you put yourself in that situation and think about it, why was Liu Qingling so certain that Yang Ji was killed by the werewolf? You know, not only werewolves can kill at night, but there's also a witch who can use poison! So I think Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu must have realized there was something wrong with Liu Qingling's statement! They must have guessed that Liu Qingling was a werewolf!

Holy crap! Did the person watching the live stream bring their brain with them?! I'm currently searching the floor for my head!

Broadcast: "Sheriff, please decide on the order of speaking."

Hua Yun raised her left hand, "Police officers will speak in the left-hand order."

To Hua Yun's left was number 2, Yang Ji. Now that Yang Ji has been asked to leave, the order has moved to number 3, Lei Miao.

To make the analysis easier for everyone, paper and pen were prepared in front of each person for taking notes. Lei Miao had been writing furiously since the beginning, and on the first day, he had already filled an entire page with notes.

Now it was his turn to speak. Lei Miao directly picked up his work and summarized his analysis: "First of all, I am a good person. Just now, there were two prophets claiming to be the police, and in my opinion, Teacher Liu is more inclined to believe that Hua Shao is the better one. So I just voted for Teacher Liu. However, it seems that most people think that Hua Shao is the better one."

Lei Miao: "Hua Shao got three votes, namely numbers 2, 4, and 5. Assuming Hua Shao is a werewolf, then there must be one or two werewolves among these three people. Now number 2 has already been killed, and we have a white wolf in this round. The white wolf does not open its eyes at night and does not have the right to kill people. So only two werewolves can kill people. We can basically rule out the possibility that the werewolves killed themselves last night to trick the witch for the antidote, because that would be too risky."

Lei Miao: "So, I also favor Teacher Yang's identity as number 2. From my current perspective, the suspects are between Brother Yin and Xiao Yu. In addition, Hua Shao gave Brother Yin a 'golden water' (a positive result) at the beginning, so Brother Yin's identity is not good to me now. He might be a werewolf. I hope Brother Yin will make a good statement later."

The right to speak fell to Yin Chengjue. He fiddled with his pen, which was still capped, and the sheet of white paper in front of him was spotless.

Yin Chengjue: "I am a civilian or above. Since Lei Shao suspects me, let me explain properly. First of all, Lei Shao, you made your reasoning based on the premise that 'Teacher Liu is the real seer,' while I reasoned based on the premise that 'Hua Shao is the real seer.' Based on your reasoning, you suspect that there are werewolves among those who voted for the sheriff, and my line of thinking is the same as yours. In fact, your reasoning is clearer because you were the only one who voted for Teacher Liu. If Teacher Liu is a werewolf, then aren't you also a werewolf?"

Yin Chengjue twirled his pen: "But don't be in a hurry. Your reasoning was that there were wolves among those who voted for sheriff. I was just following your line of thought. It doesn't mean I suspect you are a wolf. I believe you are a good person who has been blinded by wolves."

Yin Chengjue: "The above is my explanation to Young Master Lei. Next, I will explain my reasoning."

Yin Chengjue: "I will vote for Hua Shao as the sheriff, not only because he gave me a positive result, but also because his investigation approach is consistent with that of a true prophet."

Yin Chengjue nodded slightly: "Because he checked me on the first night, which means he needs to know whether I am a good guy or a werewolf so that he can adjust the way the game goes."

Yin Chengjue: "If I were the prophet, on the first night, I would also choose to check among Xiaoyu, Huashao and Teacher Liu."

—Hahaha! Mr. Yin, are you bragging? Right? Right?

—I laughed so hard I cried. President Yin was practically saying outright that anyone who didn't investigate me on the first night must be a fake!

—Liu Qingling: I miscalculated! I messed up! I shouldn't have said I investigated Lao Yang. Why would I investigate him on the first night? It would have been more believable if I said I investigated myself!

—Mr. Yin looks so handsome even when he's being narcissistic! If I were there, I'd agree with whatever he said!

“I think Brother Yin is right,” a clear voice rang out, expressing what the viewers in the live chat wanted to say.

Now it was Rong Yu's turn to speak. He rested his chin on his hand, smiled, and looked in Yin Chengjue's direction. He said, "Let me be frank. I am a god, a powerful god. I voted for Hua Shao for the sheriff because I agree with his statement. Actually, I don't recommend that Hua Shao test me tonight, because it would waste your opportunity. Of course, if you are really worried, you can test me and then test Teacher Liu as well."

Rong Yu turned to look at Liu Qingling, who was sitting to her left, and said, "My current suspect is Teacher Liu. The reason is actually quite simple."

Rong Yu sighed, "I wonder if everyone remembers what Teacher Liu said to Teacher Yang when he left just now?"

Rong Yu: "He said, 'Don't worry! I will definitely find all the wolves and avenge you!' Don't you guys think that after Teacher Liu said that, he actually accidentally went off the rails?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, pondered carefully, and gradually began to understand what it meant.

Rong Yu then explained, "How could Teacher Liu be so sure that Teacher Yang, number 2, was killed by the werewolf's knife? And last night was the first night, so the witch must have had poison. Therefore, there are three possibilities for the four deaths last night. First, the werewolf killed one person, the witch saved him, and then poisoned another person. Second, the werewolf did not kill anyone, but the witch used poison. Third, the werewolf killed someone, but the witch did not use the antidote or the poison."

Rong Yu: "There are so many possibilities on the first night, so why was Teacher Liu able to confirm that Teacher Yang was killed by a wolf's knife, and not poisoned by a witch?"
