"So you're really going to do what he says?!" Number Four looked utterly incredulous. "Are you crazy?! Kill everyone!"
"Don't try to resist the rules." Number One appeared cold to the point of being ruthless at this moment.
"Alright, there's no point in arguing at this point," Number Two said, stopping the two from continuing their quarrel. "At least one thing is true: the most urgent thing is to find the formal rules of the game."
The six people silently surveyed the arcade.
There was no difference from before; there were no clues whatsoever.
“The mute girl is still upstairs,” Xiao Cheng suddenly said. “We need to tell her about the new game.”
"I'll go. I don't know if anything happened upstairs," Fang He suggested.
“Then I’ll go with you.” Xiao Cheng nodded, greeted the others, and then followed Fang He upstairs.
The mute girl was indeed in the room. The door was open, and the body of number five on the bed had disappeared. The mute girl was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, looking pitiful.
Hearing the two knocking on the door, she hesitated for a moment before slowly looking up.
"The Joker has announced a new trial. Only by completing this can you officially pass the test. The conditions are very strict. If you'd like, you can help me find some clues," Fang He said to her.
Then the two saw the mute girl hesitate for a moment, then take out a folded piece of paper from under her pillow, walk over and hand it to them, and then point to the bed.
"Did he appear after Number Five disappeared?" Xiao Cheng guessed.
The mute girl nodded, then gestured for them to look at the words on the paper.
"Wolf and Sheep Game? This is it. This should be the detailed rule description." Xiao Cheng nodded.
The rules seem a bit complicated, but the gist is that each of the seven people will receive an identity card. There are three types of identity cards, and they belong to two opposing factions.
They are wolves and sheep, and there is also a courier hiding among the sheep but belonging to the wolf camp.
The wolf has only one identity card and must kill one sheep randomly each day.
There are five identity cards for the sheep. They can use clues to find the wolves and vote at noon every day. The player with the most votes will be executed.
As the most unique being, the courier's identity is hidden from both the wolf and the sheep. What he needs to do is find the wolf before the sheep and help hide the wolf's identity.
Each person's identity card is not fixed and will be refreshed at midnight every day. The game will continue until only one person is left.
Finally, it must be emphasized that no one may voluntarily disclose their identity.
"Ah... things don't look good." Xiao Cheng looked at the words on the paper. "The identity cards won't be refreshed until midnight, which means the game hasn't actually started yet, right?"
“Tomorrow is the fourth day,” Fang He stated calmly. “We have enough food to last seven days since we came in.”
"It's better not to say these things directly, it's too demoralizing." Xiao Cheng patted his shoulder, turned to look at the mute girl with a worried expression, and gave her a gentle smile.
"Just pretend you didn't hear that, okay? After all, when playing games, you should try to relax and have fun to enjoy it more."
"Don't make that face, people will think I'm bullying you. But I still have to say, no matter what, you want to live, right?"
"I have a really big idea. I said before that I would help you within my capabilities, and that still stands. So, if I were to invite you to cooperate now, would you refuse?"
