"One more round!" Hua Jinyue was still not satisfied. He hugged Ning Xiwan's arm and shook it, his eyes shining brightly.
"Sister Ning, let's play another game! Let Brother Xinrong be the judge this time! I'm sure he won't dare to be so arrogant anymore!" She wrinkled her nose at Ye Qingliu cunningly.
Ning Xiwan was shaken to a soft spot, and looked at Mu Xinrong with a smile: "Xinrong, you be the judge? This will prevent this kid from plotting against us again."
The look she gave Ye Qingliu was one of undisguised indulgence and doting, as if his previous "massacre" was just a trick of a clever child.
Mu Xinrong was flattered and nodded quickly: "Okay! I'll try!"
He sat down in the judge's chair at the main seat, feeling a little nervous.
Duan Shuce pushed his glasses, a gentle smile on his jade-like face, but his eyes swept over Ye Qingliu with a barely perceptible... vigilance?
He deliberately glanced at Ning Xiwan, his eyes showing: Wanwan, can this game be fair?
Ning Xiwan received her boyfriend's "warning" and squeezed the back of his hand with a smile as a way of comforting him, but her eyes clearly said: Don't worry, I know my limits (but I won't tolerate Qingliu being bullied).
Hua Jinyue excitedly shuffled and dealt the cards. Mu Xinrong took a deep breath and tried to get into the role of judge.
Chao Youye looked calm, and his eyes shifted subtly between Duan Shuce and Ning Xiwan for a moment.
The role cards have been distributed.
Mu Xinrong (the judge) watched as everyone turned over their cards. Duan Shuce flipped a corner—Prophet! His gaze behind his glasses instantly sharpened, a meaningful curve forming at the corner of his lips as he glanced at Ye Qingliu seemingly unintentionally.
After Chao Youye finished looking at the cards, he nodded slightly to Mu Xinrong almost imperceptibly.
Ye Qingliu still had the look of casually glancing and dismissing the cards. His gray-blue eyes swept across the entire audience without any ripples. Only when he glanced at Duan Shuce, a very faint, almost provocative glimmer seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes.
After Bai Zhiye finished looking at the cards, his gaze fell gently but firmly on Ye Qingliu. Hua Jinyue, clutching the cards, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on her face, secretly gave Ye Qingliu a look that suggested he stir up trouble.
"It's dark, please close your eyes." Mu Xinrong's voice was a little nervous, and he tried to keep it steady.
Everyone closed their eyes. In the darkness, Mu Xinrong's voice rang out: "Werewolf, please open your eyes."
Mu Xinrong listened intently. He caught three extremely subtle, almost simultaneous sounds, like feathers falling to the ground. One came from Ye Qingliu, one from Bai Zhiye, and the other... came from Hua Jinyue!
Then, he tapped the soft carpet four times in a row with his index finger in an extremely restrained manner - tap, tap, tap, tap.
"Werewolves, please confirm your identities and choose your targets."
There was a brief silence. Mu Xinrong's heart was in his throat.
Who will the Wolf Blade be directed at? The most threatening prophet, Duan Shuce? Or...
"Werewolf, please close your eyes." Mu Xinrong announced.
"Prophet, please open your eyes."
Duan Shuce opened his eyes immediately. Mu Xinrong silently signaled him to choose the person to be inspected.
Duan Shuce had almost no hesitation and pointed his finger very clearly at - Ye Qingliu!
His eyes were sharp, with a determination that said, "Let's see where you can run this time."
Mu Xinrong took a deep breath and silently made a werewolf gesture to him!
Duan Shuce's eyes behind the lenses narrowed instantly, and the corners of his lips curled up in a cold arc that showed understanding and fighting spirit.
Very good! He closed his eyes silently.
Subsequent actions of witches, guards and other characters.
"It's dawn, everyone, please open your eyes," Mu Xinrong announced. "Last night, Duan Shuce turned over the cards. He left no last words."
"What?!" Ning Xiwan was the first to exclaim, and suddenly looked at Duan Shuce, her eyes showing real concern and heartache.
"Shu Ce! You..." It was as if he had really been stabbed.
Duan Shuce leaned back in the comfortable lazy sofa, hugging a pillow, with no expression on his face, but his eyes swept over Ye Qingliu and Bai Zhiye quietly.
Finally, his gaze fell on Hua Jinyue, the complex expression in his eyes difficult to discern—shock? Anger? And an inextricable…jealousy and grievance?
He opened his mouth, then remembered that he had no last words, so he closed it silently and just hugged the pillow tighter in his arms, looking like a resentful husband who was "murdered" by his closest relatives and loved ones.
The living room instantly fell into an eerie silence.
Hua Jinyue tried hard to suppress her laughter, her face flushing crimson and her shoulders heaving suspiciously. Bai Zhiye lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the gentle smile on her lips.
A faint smile flashed across Chao Youye's eyes.
Only Ning Xiwan was truly angry and distressed, glaring at Ye Qingliu: "Little Qingliu! Did you do this?!"
Ye Qingliu's gray-blue eyes were calm and his voice was clear: "Sister Wan, accusations without evidence are illogical. The prophet's reversal of the cards is a huge loss for the good people."
He got himself out of this situation perfectly, and even looked like he was worried about the good guys.
"Let Hua Jinyue speak first." Mu Xinrong tried hard to take charge of the situation.
Hua Jinyue sat up straight immediately, her face instantly filled with worry and confusion: "Oh my God! Brother Duan is a prophet? What a pity! Werewolves are too cunning! I'm a blind player, I don't know anything. But..."
She changed the subject and looked at Ning Xiwan innocently, "Sister Wan, you were so nervous about Brother Duan just now. Do you know something? Or... do you have a special relationship with him?"
She cleverly used Ning Xiwan's reaction to try to muddy the waters and cover up for her brother.
Ning Xiwan was choked by the question. She looked at Hua Jinyue's "innocent" big eyes, then looked at her boyfriend who was hugging a pillow and exuding a resentful air, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
