Chapter 38 You just rejected him for his sake...
Fang Xingu felt so tired. What were these people trying to do today? But he was already exhausted and didn't want to care anymore. Let them cut themselves if they wanted to.
He waved his hand, letting Jing Yitong have his way.
To everyone's surprise, Jing Yitong pursed his lips, as if he was very dissatisfied with the other party's perfunctory attitude. However, it was his own decision to commit suicide, and now it was too late to take it back. He could only continue with the original plan.
So, on the first night of the fourth game, the werewolf Jing Yitong killed himself. This was actually a dangerous decision, because the witch in the previous game didn't use the antidote at the beginning. Who knew if the witch would follow suit this time? In that case, they would sacrifice a teammate for nothing, putting the werewolf camp at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the witch was very merciful this time and did not let Jing Yitong die, so the first night was a peaceful Christmas Eve.
Several people spoke in turn, with Tan Zhi being the first. After a moment of thought, he looked somewhat bewildered: "I'm a blindfolded player. Judging from the current situation, the witch must have saved someone with the antidote last night... I don't have any other information. Let's hear what the rest of you have to say."
Li Wenyu said innocently, "I'm on the good side, but I didn't get any information at night, so I can't share anything useful. Let's wait for the prophet to speak. That's it."
Wang Peiyang simply replied, "Good status, pass."
Next, Liang Jiyan and Luo Da also only said that they were blindfolded players. After more than half of the people had finished speaking, no useful information had been conveyed.
Everyone was really slacking off this round. By the time Fang Xin Gu spoke for the sixth time, no prophet had come forward yet.
Fang Xingu judged that the Seer should be either Lu Changning or Meng Hui in the later stages, as their preceding position. Fang Xingu hesitated between giving up and taking a gamble, but then he thought that this game they were playing with a Seer, Witch and Guardian configuration, which gave them more room to maneuver, and Jing Yitong had already self-inflicted damage...
After pondering for a long time, Fang Xin decided to ask Jing Yitong for one last favor, giving him a double layer of insurance.
Fang Xin said, "It's a coincidence that I'm the Seer again this round. Last night I checked number 8, Jing Yitong, and he's my 'good guy'. So far, the five people in the first position have all claimed to be good, and with me and my 'good guy', the number of good people exceeds the limit. So I tend to think that there are one or two wolves hiding among the first five people, and there might also be a wolf among the seventh and ninth people in the last position."
Furthermore, no one else has claimed to be the Seer yet. I wonder if the next three... no, I mean the next two, numbers seven and nine, intend to claim the Seer against me. If they do, I can immediately identify a werewolf, and everyone can vote for the person claiming the Seer against me. If not, it means there are three cowardly werewolves on the field, which likely means a new player drew the werewolf card and is hesitant to play. Everyone should pay close attention to Sister Hui and Teacher Tan later. Tonight, the Guardian can protect me so I can have another round of speaking.”
After Fang Xingu finished speaking, Lu Changning next to him scratched his head and said, "I'm just a commoner. I didn't get any information last night. Just now, number six gave a 'golden water' to number eight, who was in a later position. Unless they are both wolves, this behavior is quite dangerous. But no one else has claimed to be the seer yet, and number six's speech was also good, so I trust him for now. It depends on whether number nine will claim to be the seer later."
Next up is number eight, Jing Yitong. He bowed in the direction of Fang Xingu and said briefly, "Thank you, dear Seer, for giving me the 'good guy' card. I currently have the highest status in the room, so I won't say more. Now it's up to number nine to see if he will reveal himself as the Seer."
Jing Yitong's smile was genuine. To others, it seemed like Fang Xingu had given him a "good guy" card. But both he and Fang Xingu knew perfectly well that Jing Yitong was laughing at Fang Xingu for acting like he didn't care about their lives, but at the last moment, he couldn't bear to let him fight alone and jumped on the pirate ship with him.
Fang Xin raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
This undoubtedly brought Meng Hui's identity as number nine to rock bottom. Even if Meng Hui were to claim that she was a prophet at this point, people's trust in her would be greatly diminished.
To everyone's surprise, Meng Hui was a little confused: "Why should I claim to be the Seer? I'm just a villager. It seems that no werewolves have claimed to be the Seer today. So, should I just follow the Seer?"
Fang Xingu was completely bewildered. What was going on? Meng Hui wasn't a prophet either?
Was she faking it or was she serious? Could it be that the prophet was actually a pre-existing role for him, and he hadn't revealed his identity yet?
Fang Xingu felt his brain was about to shut down, while the others were happy to be relaxed. Fang Xingu claimed to be the seer, and no one had challenged him, which meant that there were indeed three cowardly wolves on the field. Everyone's eyes were turned to Tan Zhi and Meng Hui with sinister intent.
In the first round of voting, Meng Hui, a novice player who was the last to speak and was trampled on countless times, was unfortunately eliminated, leaving behind only the last words, "I am really just a commoner," before leaving the stage.
The game continued, and when Fang Xin opened his eyes that night, he saw Li Wenyu winking at him, and even Jing Yitong couldn't help but smile.
Fang Xingu was also amused. What was going on? How could he, a werewolf, now hold the position of seer? Where did the real seer go?
Furthermore, judging from Meng Hui's last words, she was indeed not a prophet, so there is only one possibility now—
Fang Xin squinted at Tan Zhi and made a gesture to his werewolf teammate: "Tonight, kill number one Tan Zhi. He's the seer."
Li Wenyu looked completely bewildered, tilting her head blankly, not understanding why Tan Zhi was called a prophet.
Fang Xin was disappointed in her, wondering how she could not understand such a simple truth.
He then turned to look at Jing Yitong, who was nodding and winking mischievously, clearly agreeing with his point of view.
Fang Xingu was finally satisfied. Although he had never played Werewolf with Jing Yitong, they were still in sync and communication was much easier.
He knew that some new Seers would hide their identities after discovering a positive outcome, in order to save their lives. But in this game, they were playing as Guardians, so the Seers didn't need to be so conservative. It turned out that Tan Zhi, the newbie, had probably forgotten about this.
Fang Xin and Jing Yi were too lazy to explain to Li Wenyu, so Li Wenyu had no choice but to blindly follow suit and directly stated that she wanted to kill Tan Zhi, number one.
Another night passed, and Yan Tu announced: "Number one died last night, and the leftists are starting to speak."
Li Wenyu pretended to be serious: "Hiss, what's going on? Last night, it was Teacher Tan, number one, who died? Oh right, did the werewolves think the Guardian would definitely protect the Seer, so they didn't kill him at all, but instead randomly killed Teacher Tan? It's basically certain that at least one of the two new players is a werewolf. Since it was Teacher Tan who died last night, it also confirms that Sister Hui is indeed a werewolf. Currently, I, the Seer, and the Seer are the three good guys, and Brother Lu's speech in the last round was also good. I think his identity is also good. Now I think the remaining two werewolf positions should be among Xiao Pei, Sister Jiyan, and Brother Da."
After that, Wang Peiyang and Liang Jiyan gave their statements, and then Luo Da said, "At present, I also think that Sister Hui is a werewolf who left, and I am the witch. I saved Yitong on the first night, and he is my silver water, so now Yitong, Xin Gu, and I are definitely good people. The remaining two werewolves should be among Wenyu, Xiao Pei, Jiyan, and Changning. The seer will definitely die tonight. If the guard does a good job, I can live for another round. I will use poison depending on the situation... Uh, Brother Tan is not the guard, is he? I tend to think that he is a villager who left."
Hearing this, Fang Xingu almost laughed. Now the identities of the prophet and the witch were clear. In addition, Meng Hui was a commoner. If they were lucky, they could take a gamble and end the game tonight.
After the last three people finished speaking, because Fang Xin Gu, the fake seer, protected his werewolf teammate Li Wen Yu, everyone voted out Liang Ji Yan, whose speech was mediocre.
That night, Fang Xin opened his eyes. To everyone's surprise, it had been three nights already, and the three wolves were still alive. The other players who had already been eliminated were furious at the sight of them.
Fang Xin looked at his wolf teammates, then skipped over Li Wenyu, who was excited but didn't know what she was excited about, and directly asked Jing Yitong: Tonight, will it be Wang Peiyang or Lu Changning?
Jing Yitong shrugged: "No matter who it is, we're guaranteed to win."
At this point, Luo Da was completely convinced that Fang Xingu was the prophet, and therefore believed that his Jinshui, Li Wenyu and Jing Yitong, were good people. He also thought that Meng Hui and Liang Jiyan were wolves. Therefore, in his eyes, one of Wang Peiyang and Lu Changning present must be a wolf. It wouldn't be a loss to poison either of them. If all else failed, he could just vote out the other one tomorrow.
Even if he plays it safe and doesn't use poison tonight, as long as the werewolves don't kill themselves tonight, the worst-case scenario tomorrow is three against three. If the vote doesn't produce a result, the werewolves will kill first tonight, and in the end, the werewolves will still win.
Jing Yitong's gaze shifted between Lu Changning and Wang Peiyang, but in the end he pointed at Lu Changning.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xingu frowned again: Why are you still not giving up? Why are you chasing after people with knives?
Seeing that he was about to refuse again, Jing Yitong immediately became unhappy, and even the smile on his face faded. He gave Fang Xingu a look: Are you going to protect him like this? You just rejected me once for him...
Seeing his aggrieved look, Fang Xingu thought he had done something to him. Fang Xingu sighed silently. Oh well, it was a game they were sure to win anyway. Let Jing Yitong play it however he wanted.
So the third night passed, and dawn broke. Yan Tu cleared his throat: "Last night, number three Wang Peiyang and number seven Lu Changning died. The game is over. Congratulations to the werewolf team for winning."
"yeah!"
Li Wenyu sat up abruptly, wanting to celebrate with her wolf teammates, only to see Fang Xingu and Jing Yitong sitting opposite her both stand up and even give each other a high five over Lu Changning, completely ignoring her as their teammate.
Li Wenyu: ...
"It's supposed to be a movie for three people, but I don't even deserve a name?" Li Wenyu, who had won without lifting a finger, said resentfully.
The most devastated person present was Rhoda. He really thought the game would end when dawn broke, but it did end, but how come the werewolf team won!
He looked at the excited Fang Xingu and Jing Yitong, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, belatedly glaring at Fang Xingu: "You're not a prophet?!"
Tan Zhi weakly raised his hand: "I'm the prophet..."
Rhoda was shocked: "Then why didn't you say you were a prophet on the first day?"
Tan Zhi explained a few things, and just as Fang Xingu had predicted, the group groaned in despair. How could this happen? They had been completely outmaneuvered by Fang Xingu the whole time and hadn't even managed to kill a single wolf!
Wang Peiyang accused Luo Da: "Brother Da, you're the worst. On the last night, I was the guard, and I was on guard for you, but you actually poisoned me to death!"
Rhoda was on the verge of tears: "Who knew it would turn out like this!"
The viewers in the live stream were laughing out loud.
"Oh my god, this is too much for the show!"
"Watching this is giving me a bout of aversion to stupidity. Tan Zhi isn't just bad, he's just stupid!"
"Holy crap, we just gave Xin Yuan a high five like that, with Lu Changning in the middle too. I can't believe I'm laughing so hard."
Lu Changning: You think you can fool me? [Clown]
"Who understands? I vaguely sensed a kind of Shura field... It was Fang Xin, Gu Jingyi, and Lu Changning. The atmosphere was so strange."
"Is Jing Yitong targeting Lu Changning? He used the identity tokens four times, and every time he attacked Lu Changning."
"Jing Yitong wanted to kill Lu Changning twice, but Fang Xingu refused both times. He was so aggrieved, hahaha. Fortunately, Fang Xingu finally agreed to let him do it."
"What's going on? Do Jing Yitong and Lu Changning have some old or new grudges? This is so dramatic, I love watching it, hehe."
"Really? Actually, Jing Yitong should really like NB. He even went to see NB's disbandment concert in person before."
"What juicy gossip did I miss?"
"Can't you at least use some logic when spreading rumors? When NB disbanded, Jing Yitong was still filming 'Green Water River' in Yan Province."
"However, on the day the event ended, Jing Yi did indeed take a flight between Yan Province and Shen City."
"Holy crap, is this for real?"
"Really? It was just revealed this morning: [Li Tao, did Jing Yitong actually attend the NB disbandment concert?]"
"How outrageous... So Jingyi traveled across most of China, even if it was only a day trip, to see Fang Xin's concert?"
"There are pictures to prove it. Someone said they saw someone resembling Jing Yitong at the NB disbandment event [multiple angle pictures] ×3"
"Let me emphasize, this is Nb's concert, not Fang Xin's..."
"Uh, what's the difference?"
"What if Jing Yitong likes the Nb group? He might not have come specifically to see Fang Xin Gu."
"Finally, it's the CP fan's turn to say that! Solo fans can fool others with these kinds of statements, but don't fool yourself too [tongue out]"
“I confessed that I am a solo fan of Fang Xingu, but during this period, I did not participate in any of the fights between our fans and Jing Yitong's fans, or between solo fans and CP fans, because there is something I have kept hidden for a long time and have never dared to say... Actually, on the day of Nb's disbandment concert, Jing Yitong was sitting next to me. At that time, he asked me, ‘Do you also like Fang Xingu?’ I said yes, and asked him if he also liked Nb. He thought for a long time and replied, ‘I guess so.’”
At the time, I didn't understand what "I guess so" meant. It wasn't until later, when I got home and reviewed the video I'd recorded that day many times, that I noticed he initially asked me if I "also" liked Fang Xin Gu. You can guess what that "also" means.
