There are twelve people participating in this round of Werewolf.
Ji Bohan brought a deck of Werewolf cards. He showed the cards and introduced the rules of the game to everyone.
Ji Bohan said that Werewolf is a turn-based game, with each turn divided into "day" and "night", and each player must speak during the day and describe his or her identity in words. Then, everyone must vote and kill the most suspicious player.
According to the results of everyone's card drawing, players will be divided into two camps - the good camp and the werewolf camp.
There are eight people in the good camp - four villagers and four gods. Among the gods, there is a witch, a guard, a prophet and a hunter.
In the good faction, villagers have no special skills. Witches can revive a player or kill a player. Guards can protect a player from being killed every night. Hunters will shoot another player after they die. And the prophet can check the true faction of a player every night.
The opposing werewolf camp includes three ordinary wolves and a wolf king. They can kill anyone at night. The wolf king can even bite a player to death at will before committing suicide.
"How do we determine the winner?" Jiang Yubai raised his hand and asked.
Ji Bohan said solemnly: "If all four villagers die, or all four gods die, the werewolves will win. If all the werewolves die, the good guys will win."
"I understand!" Lin Zhixia was the first to express her opinion.
Ji Bohan asked again: "Senior, do you understand?"
Yang Shuwen felt confused when he heard this.
Yang Shuwen was about to say that he didn't understand, but Tan Qianche laughed heartily: "Such a simple rule, there is no way we can't understand it, right, Yang Shuwen?"
Yang Shuwen responded awkwardly: "Hahahaha, yes."
"Okay!" Lin Zhixia clapped her hands, "Let's draw the cards quickly."
Ji Bohan asked the monitor of his class to be the referee of this game. The monitor took on the responsibilities of the referee. He randomly distributed twelve cards to many players and put a number plate on each person.
Twelve players sat around the stove. The flames in the stove crackled and occasionally sparks flew out, dispelling the chill of late autumn.
The squad leader held a kebab in his hand and paced back and forth: "It's getting dark, it's the first night, good people, please close your eyes. Guards, who are you going to guard tonight? Okay, I get it, guards, please close your eyes... Werewolves can open their eyes now, who are you going to kill?"
After the squad leader finished speaking, Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai closed their eyes at the same time.
Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai sat next to each other. They confirmed each other's identities and looked around to find that Lin Zhixia's roommate Feng Yuan was the wolf king, and Yang Shuwen was the other wolf.
The moment Jiang Yubai saw Yang Shuwen, he felt that this game would be very difficult. Because Yang Shuwen's eyes were blank and innocent, full of the confusion of doing evil for the first time.
Yang Shuwen pursed his lips and pointed his finger at Tan Qianche.
He wants to kill Tan Qianche.
The reason is simple - Tan Qianche is very smart. He is in the good camp, and if he is saved, there will be endless trouble in the future.
Lin Zhixia nodded to show her agreement.
Unfortunately, Tan Qianche became a living target. On the first night of the game, he was bitten to death by a ferocious wolf pack.
The squad leader witnessed Tan Qianche's demise. He sighed silently in his heart and said, "The night is not over yet. Werewolves, please close your eyes, and prophets, please open your eyes."
Yuan Wei is Lin Zhixia's roommate and the holder of the "Prophet" card. When she heard the monitor's voice, she immediately widened her eyes and looked at the other players suspiciously. She checked Ji Bohan's identity, and the monitor made a gesture to her, proving that Ji Bohan belonged to the good camp.
Among the twelve players present, Ji Bohan had the most gaming experience. Ji Bohan and Yuan Wei were on the same side, which made Yuan Wei feel that she had a sure win. She smiled with determination.
The monitor continued, "Foretellers, please close your eyes. Witches, please open your eyes. Someone died last night. Witch, you have a chance to save someone, and you also have a chance to kill someone."
Ji Bohan's girlfriend happened to draw the witch card. She nodded and saved Tan Qianche on the spot.
The squad leader raised the mutton skewer. While chewing the delicious mutton, he said loudly: "It's dawn. No one died last night. Now it's time to run for sheriff. When all players vote to kill someone, the voting coefficient of ordinary players is 1, and the voting coefficient of the sheriff is 1.5... Does anyone want to run for sheriff?"
Ji Bohan, Ji Bohan's girlfriend, Tan Qianche, Jiang Yubai, Feng Yuan, Yuan Wei and others all raised their hands.
Lin Zhixia sat quietly on the chair, happily eating roasted chicken wings. She raised her head slightly and met Ji Bohan's scrutinizing gaze. She blinked, acting innocent and harmless.
According to the order of the number cards, Ji Bohan was the first spokesperson.
Ji Bohan frowned and said seriously, "I am a prophet. Last night, I checked Lin Zhixia and found out that she is a wolf. Tonight I will check players number seven and eight. If number seven is a good person, he will be given the position of sheriff."
Player number seven is none other than Senior Yang Shuwen.
Lin Zhixia was bitten to death by Ji Bohan and her identity as a werewolf was exposed, and Yang Shuwen was also included in the suspect list.
Lin Zhixia's heart was filled with alarm, and she couldn't help but think: Ji Bohan is indeed a seasoned player. How could he see through my disguise? Did my facial expression betray me?
Lin Zhixia had many plans, but she still didn't stop eating chicken legs. The roasted chicken legs were so delicious that they reminded her of the braised chicken legs her mother made. She bit off a small piece of chicken, seemingly unaffected by Ji Bohan.
Next, it was Tan Qianche's turn to speak.
Tan Qianche thought for a moment and said, "I'm a novice. This is my first time playing this game. From the perspective of Nash equilibrium, a wolf running for sheriff will gain more benefits. The wolf pack will definitely elect their comrades as sheriffs. If Lin Zhixia is a wolf, why didn't she participate in the election? Lin Zhixia is good at math and speaking, so she has a better chance of winning if she participates in the election."
The more Tan Qianche analyzed, the more he felt that what he said made sense.
In order to cover up the real prophet, Tan Qianche lied: "Everyone, I am the prophet. I checked number 10 last night. Number 10 is a good person and is very likely a witch... Oh, and someone died last night. The one who died was most likely a werewolf. The werewolf committed suicide at the beginning, so that the witch could no longer save people. Werewolves, this move of yours is too vicious."
When he said this, Feng Yuan's mouth twitched.
Tan Qianche's senses were very sharp. He caught the changes in Feng Yuan's facial expressions. He immediately said, "Feng Yuan, your face moved. Are you nervous? I suspect you are a wolf. You are a student in the Department of Mathematics and have studied game theory. You must know that if a sheriff emerges from the wolf pack, your chances of winning will increase. You are running for sheriff. You are too suspicious. I suggest that everyone vote you out in the first round and let you withdraw from the competition."
Feng Yuan’s breathing was almost stagnant.
She didn't expect Tan Qianche to have such a sharp vision.
As a wolf, she may not survive the first round.
Tan Qianche finished his speech. He curled his lips and smiled, full of confidence.
At this time, Jiang Yubai pretended to be fair and just, and speculated in a steady voice: "Player No. 1 Ji Bohan is not a prophet. Ji Bohan said that he has played Werewolf many times. He also said that a prophet should give a reason when checking a person. You just heard that Ji Bohan only said two sentences, and none of his suspects participated in the sheriff election..."
Jiang Yubai's target was Ji Bohan.
Ji Bohan remained calm in the face of danger and leaned quietly against the back of his chair.
Jiang Yubai looked at Ji Bohan and said calmly, "You didn't give any reason, but you believed that number seven could take over your job. Number four is a werewolf. Were you chosen by the wolf pack to be the sheriff? The wolf pack can tell who is a good person and who is a bad person. I suggest that the real prophet check your identity tonight."
Afterwards, Jiang Yubai analyzed Tan Qianche's remarks. He said that the positions of Tan Qianche and Feng Yuan were questionable. Finally, he claimed to be a hunter. If the prophet did not investigate Ji Bohan, Jiang Yubai would take Ji Bohan away after his death.
Jiang Yubai's logic is clear and well-organized.
He also drew a clear line between himself and Feng Yuan.
Ji Bohan's girlfriend, however, thinks that Jiang Yubai and Tan Qianche are not good people.
The first thing Ji Bohan's girlfriend said was: "Jiang Yubai's logic is so smooth. Why are Tan Qianche and Jiang Yubai targeting Ji Bohan?" She paused before saying: "I am a prophet. Someone died last night..." She glanced at Tan Qianche subconsciously.
Lin Zhixia noticed her look.
Lin Zhixia finished her chicken wings and took a napkin to wipe her hands. While she was wiping her hands, Feng Yuan also made a statement. Feng Yuan's performance was quite standard, neither like a good guy nor a werewolf.
After Feng Yuan, Yuan Wei, as the last player to run for the position of sheriff, spoke generously: "Ji Bohan is a good person, and his girlfriend is also a good person. I'm not lying to you, I'm really a prophet, I checked Ji Bohan last night..."
Yuan Wei said a lot. She thought that Tan Qianche and Feng Yuan were the most likely to be in collusion. She also suspected that the person who came back to life last night was Tan Qianche. Tan Qianche and Feng Yuan were probably ordinary wolves. Tan Qianche claimed to be a prophet and sacrificed a wolf teammate to confirm his fake identity.
Yuan Wei repeatedly emphasized that the guards must protect her tonight and she would test Tan Qianche.
After this round of elections, the people vote.
To Yuan Wei's surprise, Tan Qianche was elected with a high vote and became the police chief.
Yuan Wei was completely confused.
Feng Yuan, however, showed a happy smile.
Then, Feng Yuan did not hesitate and blew himself up on the spot: "I am the Wolf King! I want to commit suicide and take her away!"
Feng Yuan extended his index finger and pointed at Ji Bohan's girlfriend.
The wolf king's self-destruction is equivalent to automatic withdrawal from the competition.
Before the Wolf King retires, he can bite any player to death.
Ji Bohan's girlfriend was forced to leave.
Unfortunately, the good guys lost a witch.
Feng Yuan chose to self-destruct and quit the game without consulting any of her wolf teammates. She killed the witch, which meant that her three wolf teammates had to find the real prophet, hunter, and guard as soon as possible.
The situation on the field became tense, and the squad leader said in a deep voice: "The sheriff election is over, and the second night has arrived."
In this round of killing game, Lin Zhixia, as a member of the werewolf camp, took the lead without hesitation and pointed at Yuan Wei.
Yang Shuwen wanted to stop Lin Zhixia. He shook his head vigorously and gestured silently - tonight, Yuan Wei would be protected by guards, and guards could keep a player from being killed, so the werewolves could not bite Yuan Wei to death.
Jiang Yubai was a little hesitant. He clenched his left hand and did not express his opinion.
The squad leader urged: "You still have ten seconds to discuss."
Lin Zhixia grabbed Jiang Yubai's wrist. She looked at him for three seconds, and he followed her opinion. There were only three members left in the wolf team. Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai reached an agreement. Yang Shuwen's objection was ineffective, and the wolf pack began to attack Yuan Wei.
That night in the game, the cold and suspicious Guardian chose to protect himself.
In the cold autumn wind, the monitor announced with a sigh: "Alas, Yuan Wei is gone."
Yuan Wei was even more confused.
Yuan Wei stood up in a trance and slowly backed away.
She was forced to withdraw.
Her eyes swept through the people present, and finally focused on Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia looked at her steadily, not like a vicious wolf, but more like a wolf cub.
A new round of speeches has begun.
Player No. 1 Ji Bohan once again pointed out that Lin Zhixia must be a wolf!
Ji Bohan's girlfriend had just been taken away by the wolf king, and Ji Bohan was a little excited. He seemed to be completely immersed in the scene of the game, and he wanted to eliminate the remaining evil wolves and avenge his innocent girlfriend.
Ji Bohan said that Tan Qianche, Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia are the remaining three wolves!
Of course Tan Qianche disagreed. His identity was so innocent and pure, just like himself when he was 18 years old. How could he allow Ji Bohan to slander him?
Tan Qianche coughed and said calmly, "Ji Bohan, you only talked about the conclusion but not the process. If you write a lab report like this, you will definitely get zero points. I reasonably suspect that you are a wolf. Jiang Yubai is also a suspect. He won over the sheriff and pointed fingers at you. Either you two are two wolves, or there is a wolf between you."
Tan Qianche and Ji Bohan were irreconcilable. His eyes were as hot as fire, locking onto Ji Bohan. The female students beside Ji Bohan blushed, but Ji Bohan's hair stood up like a hedgehog.
The flames in the furnace danced seductively, like the scarlet eyes of countless wolves.
The squad leader shuddered and stopped them, saying, "Don't stare at me, don't stare at me."
The monitor maintained order and let each player speak. When it was Jiang Yubai's turn, he still pretended to be a good guy. He also imagined in his mind, if he was really a good guy, and Lin Zhixia was a werewolf, what choice would he make?
In other words, if Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai have different positions, how should Jiang Yubai respond?
Werewolf is just a game.
Jiang Yubai, however, jumped out of the shackles of the game. He thought about how he and Lin Zhixia had been together for many years, and Lin Zhixia had never had any disagreements with him on matters of principle.
If they have disagreements in the future, Jiang Yubai must first consider Lin Zhixia's perspective and get her thoughts. After all, she can't forget the sad memories, and he can't let Lin Zhixia have negative emotions because of him.
However, does his level of concern go beyond the scope of friendship?
Jiang Yubai sorted out his thoughts and tried his best to protect Lin Zhixia: "Lin Zhixia has never said a word so far, has not participated in the police chief election, and has done nothing except eating chicken legs. I do doubt her and want to hear her statement."
Lin Zhixia was holding a string of chicken legs, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She held the plate in her left hand and tightly grasped the bamboo stick in her right hand.
However, most players pointed the finger at Lin Zhixia. They all knew that Lin Zhixia was extremely smart, and if she was really a wolf, the good guys' camp would be doomed sooner or later.
Everyone had originally decided to vote for Lin Zhixia this round and force her to withdraw from the competition.
Lin Zhixia defended herself: "So many people doubt me, I can only tell the truth. My identity is a witch. On the first night, the group of werewolves killed Ji Bohan, and Ji Bohan was saved by me. Listen, is my speculation correct? The werewolves killed Ji Bohan first, probably because Ji Bohan introduced the rules of the game. After playing hundreds of werewolves, he had already become a high-level player. Tan Qianche said that Ji Bohan might be a wolf. He committed suicide and tricked me into saving him in exchange for my trust... Tan Qianche's words make sense..."
At this point, Lin Zhixia paused for a moment and then said, "Ji Bohan, you always think of me as a wolf. Is it because I often see you? You are the one I rescued, and I can't help but observe whether you are good or bad. There is another possibility, you know I am a good person, so you want to frame me. Last night, Yuan Wei was killed by a werewolf, and I thought the guards would protect Yuan Wei... Yuan Wei must be a good person, otherwise she would not be killed by the wolf pack. But she may not be a prophet. It was also very strange that Feng Yuan blew himself up just now. Have you thought about it? When Feng Yuan blew himself up, he took a good person away. What is the identity of that good person? Is he a prophet?"
Lin Zhixia appealed to his emotions, explained the reason to him, spoke sincerely, and was ready to die tonight.
She said that she was a witch and had a bottle of poison in her hand. She hoped that everyone would let her make full use of it and at least kill a wolf, otherwise her poison would be wasted.
Moreover, if Feng Yuan blew himself up and took a prophet away, the witch Lin Zhixia would die again, and the good camp would suffer heavy losses.
A senior from the quantum computing group spoke impatiently, "Lin Zhixia still has a bottle of poison. If she is really a witch and tells who the dead person is, she will definitely die tonight. If we kill her now, wouldn't that be a waste of a spot and a bottle of poison? I think Tan Qianche and Jiang Yubai are the most suspicious! Let me ask you, when did Feng Yuan blow himself up? When Feng Yuan saw that Tan Qianche became the sheriff, he blew himself up with a smile on his face! Sacrifice the small self for the greater self! In this round, we will kill Tan Qianche!"
Yang Shuwen retorted: "I am the prophet. I checked Tan Qianche last night. He is a good man. He probably wants to protect me. Where is the guard? The guard will guard me tonight."
The situation has become very delicate.
There are nine players left on the field.
The monitor was amazed at everyone's acting skills. He calmed down for a moment and said, "Okay, now let's start voting. Whoever gets the most votes will be killed!"
After the squad leader finished speaking, the players pointed their fingers at the person they were most suspicious of.
Ji Bohan got 1 vote, Tan Qianche got 2 votes, Jiang Yubai got 2 votes, and Yang Shuwen got the most votes, with 4.5 votes!
Yang Shuwen was stunned: "Why, why do you want to kill me? I don't look like a wolf at all."
Tan Qianche said coldly: "Feng Yuan blew himself up because he saw me as the sheriff. I am a good man and the wolves have taken advantage of me. You suddenly stood up for me. Without criticizing others, you are the most suspicious."
Yang Shuwen's brows were furrowed.
The monitor reminded him at the right time: "Senior Yang, stop talking. You are a dead man now."
Yang Shuwen took a deep breath and looked at Tan Qianche silently. His facial expression was full of doubt, confusion, grievance, and anger of being betrayed.
Tan Qianche was shocked and thought to himself: These evil wolves are so cunning! They are simply relying on him!
In fact, Tan Qianche misunderstood Yang Shuwen.
The reason why Yang Shuwen stood on Tan Qianche's side was simply because Tan Qianche often tutored Yang Shuwen in his studies without any effort. Yang Shuwen wanted to repay him, so he helped him clear his name!
He never thought that Tan Qianche would bite back at him!
Yang Shuwen felt extremely aggrieved. He slowly shrank to the wall, sat on a small stool, and ate roasted sweet potatoes, like a little wolf abandoned by the wolf king.
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Tan Qianche.
Tan Qianche has no excuse.
That night, a pack of wolves appeared - this time, the only vicious wolves left on the field were Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai.
Lin Zhixia stretched out her finger and made the number "1".
She wants to kill Ji Bohan.
Ji Bohan had expected this. He revealed his identity as a hunter and took Lin Zhixia away on the spot.
A hunter can kill a wolf before he dies.
Lin Zhixia had to leave. She placed her hopes of victory on Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai clenched his fists.
Lin Zhixia pulled his fingers apart, and she stretched out her fingertips and gently poked his palm.
His heart seemed to soften and turn into a pool of spring water, rumbling and merging into the clear water in the distance.
In the next round of competition, no matter how much Tan Qianche argued, more than half of the people insisted that he was a wolf. He was voted out, and the class leader immediately clapped his hands and said, "The game is over! The werewolves have won a great victory!"
"What?" Several seniors in the quantum computing group were shocked.
Tan Qianche stood up and threw out a glasses cloth. While wiping his glasses, he said calmly: "I am a guard, everyone, can't you see that I am a guard? Hey... I guarded Lin Zhixia on the first night. I was afraid that she was too smart and would be killed by the werewolves. I am an idiot."
Opposite Tan Qianche, Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai high-fived in perfect harmony.
Tan Qianche shook his head and said accusingly, "You two little wolves."
Lin Zhixia said proudly: "Games are fun to play."
