Chapter 117 Mermaid Elegy and Werewolf (7) “We are investigating…
All three of them had no objection to this proposal. They immediately sent a distress call to the camp via the intercom and reported the exact coordinates via GPS.
Then, thinking that rescuers would be coming soon, the three of them felt that there was no point in waiting here. Besides, the poisonous snake that attacked Theo and Kamien might be nearby, and they would not know it if they stayed here.
So they set off quickly, Pearl and Roderick going together, while Lorcan, who loved excitement, chose to hunt for merman alone.
This was perfect for the vampires, and twenty minutes later, Loken was dead.
As for Pearl and Roderick, the vampires, after careful consideration, temporarily let them go to avoid suspicion. Finally, Aurelio bit two more holes in Vile's neck, pretending that someone in Group A had also been bitten by a snake, in order to confuse the group.
...Actually, according to Aymeric, Vile was supposed to bite Aurelio. But since he'd sucked Theo's high-fat blood, Vile had been retching for the rest of the fight. When he heard Aymeric ask him to bite Aurelio, he immediately refused: "Don't make me chew on fat anymore! I'm going to be a vegetarian for a month!"
"Why are you making personal attacks?" Aurelio said angrily. "I only asked you to bite me, not suck me! Besides, I'm not as fat as Theo!!!"
Weilai looked at him coldly and said ruthlessly, "I've only been drinking iced American coffee this month to burn fat."
“…” Aurelio glared at him angrily and turned away.
Irene, the little mermaid who had been rescued first, burst out laughing. Aurelio glanced at her, and Irene immediately said seriously, "Mr. Aurelio, I'm not making fun of you. I think you have a strong and healthy figure, completely different from that fat and bloated human."
"Hmph!" Aurelio glared at Vile again with a "look at him" look, and his mood obviously improved a lot.
When the vampires helped Willey, who was bitten by a snake, back to the camp, the camp was in chaos. The staff were heartbroken when they heard that Willey was also bitten, but they were relieved when they saw that Willey seemed to be in good condition.
Aimeric approached them politely and chatted with them. He easily learned that the three members of Group A, whose lives were hanging by a thread, had been sent to the resort hospital for treatment. He casually asked, "Aren't we sending them off the island?"
The staff member's expression froze for a moment, then he explained, "Oh... well, given their current condition, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to move them. Once their condition stabilizes, we'll follow the doctor's orders and send them home."
"I see." Aymeric nodded with a smile.
The resort would initially delay, which was exactly what they expected.
Soon, Willey was also sent to the hospital for treatment. Hundreds of years ago, human diagnosis and treatment were fatal to vampires and would immediately expose their identities. However, in the past few hundred years, vampire technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and they have long been able to cope with various human examinations without exposing themselves.
So, only half an hour later, Willey left the hospital. The camp received the hospital's test results at the same time: "The three unconscious men are not in good condition. We couldn't detect any snake venom in their blood, but they all lost a lot of blood. We suspect it wasn't a snake that attacked them. We will maintain their vital signs for now. The plasma will probably be delivered tomorrow, and we can start a blood transfusion. The other man was lucky. Not only was he not poisoned, but he also didn't lose any significant blood. Unfortunately, he didn't see what attacked him."
It looked like none of the guests were in danger of death, and this result was enough to make the camp breathe a sigh of relief.
But in fact, this is just a prelude.
As the vampires returned to their homes, news spread about the Deep Sea Restaurant: two people were reported missing: a chef and a waiter. Although the surveillance footage hadn't revealed anything unusual, their colleagues claimed to have seen them at work that morning, only to disappear later. Even the surveillance footage couldn't find any trace of them.
In the kitchen, everyone seemed to be frightened, saying it was haunted. The restaurant had to let them rest and replace the chefs with another group to provide service, which made everyone panic for a while.
At 6:30 in the evening, the members of the Ghost Academy went out wearing masks and met at the main building gate.
The masked ball will officially begin at 7pm. Guests have already arrived to sign in. After signing in, they enter the main venue. Some people who already know each other bump into each other and immediately put on a smile, whether real or fake, to express their happiness.
Beneath these hypocritical faces, there was only one emotion that was completely genuine - that was when they discussed how to play with and torture mermaids. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement, and some people, when they were chatting excitedly, directly invited their friends into the small living room on the side of the banquet hall, and then asked someone to bring one or two mermaids, or directly used the mermaids they brought from their rooms to vent.
Even before the ball officially began, the mermaids' lamentations had already been heard several times in the small living rooms. Once the ball officially began, with so many guests, these "experienced" and lamentations spread like a virus, reaching more and more people. Some quickly went wild with excitement, brazenly attacking the mermaids in public. The other guests simply laughed, and some even offered the attackers, even though they weren't very sharp, Western-style knives, urging them to let the mermaids sing.
Each of them was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and any piece of jewelry on them was enough for an ordinary person to earn a lifetime. But they enjoyed themselves in such a heinous way, and the ghosts felt layer upon layer of disgust in this absurd scene.
"Humans are much scarier than ghosts." Bai Ma murmured softly.
Si Ling stood aside silently, feeling a little regretful.
When she just entered the banquet hall, she set the activation time of the [Werewolf Killing Box] to 19:30. If she had known that the scene would be so brutal, she would have chosen not to set the time and could turn it on manually at any time.
However, this also has its advantages. Excessive joy can easily drive people crazy. Let these people get excited first, and then kill them suddenly by surprise. Their performance in Werewolf will probably be more "exciting".
.
"Oh, look at her!"
"Quick, give him another knife!"
"Oh my god, this merman is dumb! He can neither speak nor sing! He's a defective product, haha!"
After three rounds of drinks, the noise at the ball reached its peak. The expensive masks on the faces of the guests seemed to have an additional shame-covering effect, allowing them to act recklessly with peace of mind.
At 19:30, in the lively atmosphere of pearls and blood, everyone heard a "ding dong" sound at the same time, and then rows of blue subtitles visible to everyone began to dance on the dance floor in the center of the hall.
"[Vacation Werewolf] has been activated."
"No one is allowed to leave this resort until the game is over."
"During the game, everyone is prohibited from attacking non-players."
The people who were originally having fun were attracted by the subtitles, and gradually quieted down and looked at the subtitles at the same time.
Someone asked in confusion: "What is this? A new game?"
"Interesting."
More subtitles continued to pop up:
"This round is: White Bear Round."
"Identity settings: Werewolf*40, White Bear*10, Hunter*10, Witch*10, Prophet*10."
"The rest are civilians."
"Werewolves can kill up to 20 people per night."
"Voting takes place from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM every day. Each player can cast up to 5 votes, which can be cast for one or more players."
"Any player who receives 25% of the total votes will be eliminated."
"If the game is not over after 72 hours, 10 wolf breeders will be added to the werewolf camp."
"Game ending methods: ① All werewolves (including wolf breeders) are eliminated, the civilians win, and the game ends; ② All civilians and clergy (including: white bears, hunters, witches, and prophets) are eliminated, the werewolves win, and the game ends."
"Now, you will receive your character card and item card (only available to priests)."
After the last line of text, the screen pauses for 10 seconds, as if waiting for everyone to finish reading.
Then all the subtitles disappeared, and three huge numbers popped up one after another: 3, 2, 1!
Then, each person's identity card appeared before their eyes, visible only to that person. The "Civilian" identity had a simple wording, displayed in the player's native language. Other identities had detailed descriptions of their functions and an item bar.
Some people began to feel something was wrong: "The ID card is only visible to me, right? How is this done? What technology is used?"
"Is it really only me who can see it?" Someone waved at the words hanging in the air before their eyes and asked their companion, "Can you see this 'commoner' in front of me?"
Besides being surprised, they were also largely confused about the situation, and the waiters present felt it was even weirder.
…because they also saw the identity information.
Si Ling originally didn't intend to classify them as players. At that time, her idea was "money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat, so there is no need to make things difficult for the workers." But after landing on the island, she saw several waiters who were full of malice towards the mermaids, and she realized that those who came to apply for this job were not good people, and there was no need to be kind to them.
"Main Service, does anyone know what's going on with Werewolf?"
"Project Department, is Werewolf a new project?"
"Operations Department, what are the arrangements for Werewolf?"
The waiters pressed their headsets, trying to figure out what was going on.
However, no matter which department they asked, everyone said they had never heard of this activity and that they had all received ID cards.
About three minutes later, the front desk issued an instruction: "We are investigating the cause. Please keep the guests stable first."
Upon hearing the news, the head waiter immediately turned on the radio and announced, "[Werewolf Killing] is our company's pilot project, offered free of charge as a special Easter egg for this holiday. Everyone is welcome to try it out and have a great time. Afterward, we welcome feedback from guests!"
