Chapter 125 Mermaid Elegy and Werewolf (15) “Don’t listen,…
The shootout had been sparked simply by one player's suspicion that another was a werewolf. The other player wasn't, and the logical response would have been to attempt to prove it through logical analysis. But everyone was pushed to the brink of collapse. The mere suspicion of one player's demise in the next round of voting led them to immediately attempt to drag others down with them.
Such sudden conflicts occurred several times in the following hours. The scale of each conflict was not large, but several people were killed.
The remaining people almost entered a state of resignation to fate after a series of bloody conflicts, but this resignation to fate could be seamlessly switched to "collapse and killing". Once the sensitive nerves were touched, a new bloody conflict would immediately break out.
By seven o'clock in the evening, more than half of the people had been killed.
Many people spontaneously stayed in the banquet hall for a long time because they were all better able to cope with things when they were together. As long as they didn't arouse suspicion of each other, they would be relatively safe and could just remain silent.
People maintain a delicate balance in tacit silence.
At 7:30 PM, everyone saw a pop-up message simultaneously: "This game has been played for 72 hours, the game is not over yet, and the [Seed Wolf] status has been activated."
"[Seed Wolf] has a total of 5 people, converted from players with the original [Civilian] status."
"[Seed Wolf] belongs to the Werewolf faction and can infect up to 10 players each night."
"If civilians, witches, prophets, or hunters are infected, they will transform into werewolves and switch camps."
If a white bear is infected, it will also transform into a werewolf and switch sides, but will roar every morning.
The system briefly introduces the function of the wolf breeding identity, and the pop-up content for most people ends here.
Only five players had an extra line of words on their pop-up windows: You are a [Seed Wolf]!
During the years when Werewolf was the most popular game in the world, Si Ling had also played Werewolf in Fengdu. In the Werewolf-breeding game, everyone would usually start to become suspicious after the first night, trying to figure out who was the werewolf while suspecting that other civilians and even clergy had been infected by the Werewolf.
But now everyone is very suspicious, and all kinds of "analysis" have been triggered within a minute.
"Why did you take so long? Do you have more clues than us?"
"Your expression is wrong. Have you been chosen as a breeding wolf?!"
Many people jumped up nervously and questioned the people around them.
The person being questioned immediately countered: "I just read slowly!"
"How do you know there's more to a wolf breeder? You're a wolf breeder yourself, right?"
"How can my expression be wrong? Are you crying thief?!"
In every corner of the banquet hall, groups of people started arguing. Some of the more vigilant players immediately remembered the constant gunfights that had occurred that day and began to evacuate.
This immediately triggered new questions: "Where are you going? What are you hiding from? Are you wolves?!"
Fortunately, these people's counterattack was quite powerful: "Are you sick? Look how many people are walking out? There are only five seed wolves!"
Although the quarrel ended unpleasantly, no new gunfight broke out in the banquet hall.
...because the suspicious people chose to act in the early morning.
In Mammon's system, everyone would fall unconscious at midnight, allowing the werewolves and priests to start their activities. The wake-up time was unified at 7:30 a.m., but people would first see the kill list from last night, and then wash up, etc., making it almost impossible to leave the house immediately at 7:30.
After two days of playing, many players had figured out this pattern. Therefore, when everyone was suspicious and wanted to take down a specific target, this period of time became the perfect opportunity. They only needed to ask the waiter for the target's address before taking action and then leaving quietly. Since the villas were designed with the residents' privacy in mind, there was basically no need to worry about exposing their whereabouts.
The waiters, who had also become players, no longer had any interest in protecting the residents' privacy. As long as they could save their own lives, everything could be negotiated.
So before people went out one after another, gunshots were heard from several villas.
Since the system announced "The White Bear Howled" at 7:30, several white bears that had previously self-destructed and their upstream and downstream families were basically killed. Because no one knew whether the roar this time was because the white bears were infected or there were werewolves in their upstream and downstream families, killing them all was the simplest and most effective method.
In the next two hours, people gradually discovered that the actual death toll did not match the number announced on the panel, and then found that many people died from gunshot wounds, and the wounds looked "very fresh", obviously they had not been dead for too long.
There was almost no discussion during the morning session. The banquet hall was deserted and almost everyone stayed in their residence for fear of being shot if they went out.
But when it came to 12:00 noon, the voting mechanism that had been ineffective in the past few days due to the lack of effective information discussed suddenly became extremely lively. The ghosts saw through the panel that everyone had cast all 5 votes they held, and the vast majority chose to cast their votes for a single target, and the higher the number of votes, the easier it was to get more votes.
"It's just another form of indiscriminate killing." Ah Zhui looked at the panel with a complicated expression, "They just want to eliminate as many people as possible to protect themselves. They completely ignore logical analysis."
Si Ling smiled: "If this continues, the game will soon be over."
——The game is indeed almost over.
Players start killing indiscriminately before the wolf breeders enter the game. At this time, the number of civilians and clergy is far greater than that of werewolves, and the people killed in the indiscriminate killing are likely to be civilians.
Not to mention that there is a small and insignificant problem, that is, if the good camp wants to win, it needs to eliminate all the werewolves, but except for showing up on the first day, Johnson has been hiding in his own residence since then, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, and everyone almost forgot about him.
Moreover, since everyone in the game has to live on the island for the next few days, many people subconsciously do not want to kill the owner of the island, even though he no longer has any power here.
After the wolf breeder entered the game, while the players continued to kill indiscriminately, the werewolf's power was expanding rapidly with the help of the wolf breeder.
...Even if the ratio of good people and werewolves killed by "indiscriminate killing" is 1:1, the breeding wolf can at least infect more werewolves at night, while the good camp will decrease rather than increase.
At the same time, werewolves are in the open and good people are in the dark. Good people will attack their own people indiscriminately during the day, but werewolves will not accidentally hurt their teammates at night.
.
Two more days passed in completely unrestrained chaos. As a new gunfight raged, a message suddenly popped up in front of everyone: "All civilians and clergy are eliminated. The werewolves have won. Game over."
Everyone was stunned. The people who were fighting with ferocious faces a second ago put down their guns and were a little confused for a moment.
Then, the joy of surviving the disaster came roaring. Some people rushed back to their residence as fast as they could, shouting that they were about to leave this damn place; some people fell to the ground with their legs going weak, and burst into tears in a mood that was difficult to tell whether it was relief or fear.
but--
In the woods not far from them, hidden ghosts were watching everything with a sinister look.
You can't run away.
[Werewolf Killing Box] They couldn't kill people at will during the run, but now the game is over!
Although their main target was only members of the Fisher family, and the only survivors of the Fisher family now were Johnson Fisher himself, his brother and nephew, no one on the island deserved to die.
Since you are here!
The ghosts immediately dispersed to the residences of the survivors of each game. Si Ling and Xuan Chi took a few mermaids and went straight to Johnson Fisher's residence.
Johnson was in his penthouse suite, uncorking champagne. Even though communications hadn't been restored, he was still alive, and the joy of escaping death was enough to celebrate.
As for the aftermath, although it was bound to be endless trouble, that was all a matter for the future. Now he just wanted to celebrate the joy in front of him.
He was drinking alone in the bedroom, holding a wine glass in one hand and a bottle in the other. The pressure that had been bothering him for many days suddenly disappeared, making him cry and laugh at the same time. The two bodyguards guarding outside the bedroom door looked inside from time to time with very complicated expressions.
After drinking half a bottle of wine, Johnson burped. He frowned, put the bottle and glass in his hands on the table, and got up to go to the bathroom.
The alcohol content of the champagne was not high, but the sudden relaxation of the mind made all the fatigue of the past few days come back, and the alcohol became particularly effective.
Johnson staggered into the bathroom, whistling, and then walked to the sink to wash his face and wake himself up.
The cool water splashed on his face, and Johnson rubbed it twice happily. Suddenly, he felt a thin hard object on his hand rubbing against his skin. He subconsciously moved his hand away and squinted his eyes to take a look.
It is a piece of fish scale with a faint blue light.
Johnson didn't think much about it, washed off the fish scales with the water, and continued washing his face.
A faint smell of blood drifted over, but was masked by the alcohol on his breath. When Johnson noticed the abnormality, the last pool of blood in the washbasin was flowing down the drain.
Johnson was startled, then looked up at the mirror. The face in the mirror was covered in blood.
He gasped, but before he could finish his breath, the scene in the mirror returned to normal.
There was no blood on his face, only drops of water dripping down.
He looked down at the pool again, and there was no trace of blood in it.
Johnson frowned, thinking he was just drunk. He grabbed a face towel and wiped away the water droplets. He tossed the face towel on the sink and returned to the bedroom.
Xuan Chi, who had hidden his figure, followed him closely, and the soles of his shoes, which had been stained red with blood, left two rows of bloody footprints behind him.
Farther away, several mermaids also became invisible with the help of Si Ling. They were either standing or squatting, watching Xuan Chi's movements with great interest.
Ai Lin turned her head and looked at Si Ling with sparkling eyes: "So this is how ghosts scare people? I won't be afraid of ghost stories anymore."
"..." Xuan Chi turned his head to look at her with a twitching mouth.
Si Ling burst out laughing: "Don't listen, it's a bad review."

The author has something to say: Si Ling: It’s a bad review.
Johnson: These are fake comments.
