Chapter 122
After Wang Bo left, Yuan Miaomiao was also dragged away, leaving only the few of them sitting on the sofa staring at each other.
Normally at times like this, the only e-person Jiang Tao would come out to liven up the atmosphere, but he was preoccupied today and wasn't in the right mood. There was an eerie silence in the corner of the sofa.
Jiang Zhinian chewed the cherry tomatoes, looked left and right, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.
At this moment, Yuan Miaomiao, who had just been pulled away, came back over. "It's still early. Wang Bo will probably be doing some business networking for a while. You guys are getting bored just sitting there. It just so happens that a few of my friends want to play Werewolf. Do you want to join us in the study?"
Many of her friends are young people from the 2D world, and they like to play board games when they get together.
The three people on the sofa all focused their eyes on Shi Ye, waiting for his decision.
Shi Ye looked at Jiang Zhinian and raised his eyebrows to ask what she meant.
Jiang Zhinian just stuffed a cherry tomato into her mouth and nodded with puffy cheeks, like a hamster.
She had never played Werewolf before and thought it was a mobile game. She thought that since everyone had nothing to do, it would be okay to play the game together.
It was not until she entered the study and listened to the rules that she finally understood that this game actually required role-playing.
"Yes, it's this little program. I'll open a room and invite you guys. Just follow the system's instructions."
"Everyone is here, get ready, let's start distributing identities."
There were 12 people in the room, and we booked a standard room with 4 civilians and 4 wolves, including a female hunter.
"Watch your identity carefully, don't let others see it."
Jiang Zhinian looked at the big words "Civilian" on her phone and swallowed nervously. She looked quietly at Shi Ye beside her, only to see that he calmly read the ID card and then put the phone on the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay...it's just that this is my first time playing, so I might not be very good."
"It's just a game."
"Okay, everyone has checked their identities. It's time to start. Listen to the system prompts."
"It's dark, please close your eyes—"
Jiang Zhinian slowly closed his eyes.
…
There are currently 4 people left alive on the field, namely No. 8 Shi Ye, No. 9 Jiang Zhinian, No. 3 who has switched to the identity of a hunter, and No. 6 who has recognized himself as a civilian.
Shi Ye said, "The game can still continue, which means there's only one wolf left on the field. Otherwise, the werewolves would have already won. In other words, the last wolf is between number 6 and number 9."
Jiang Zhinian was a newcomer and had been lying down with Shi Ye all the way until now. When he heard what the other party said, he suddenly became nervous.
"In this game, listening to the speeches and watching the votes, number 9 has been following my votes since the first round, and his speeches have not been aggressive, so I think the last wolf is number 6."
He looked calm and spoke in a firm tone. In addition, his speeches from the first round were clear and logical, which made it easy for people to be convinced by what he said.
After hearing this, boy No. 6 quickly raised his hand to defend himself: "I'm not a wolf, I really am not. No. 8, I know you're a good person, but you fell for the honey trap. Don't you think No. 9 was trying to lower her presence the whole time? She could easily be a wolf."
Jiang Zhinian wanted to explain after hearing this, but she remembered the rule that she couldn't speak unless it was her turn to speak, so she had to hold the words in her throat and looked at Shi Ye anxiously.
I'm really not a werewolf, Shi Ye, please believe me.
Shi Ye lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Zhinian's nervous expression and smiled faintly: "Do you want to win?"
Jiang Zhinian is usually a somewhat Buddhist person and rarely shows such a strong desire to win or lose.
Even Jiang Zhinian herself was shocked. It was just a game, but at that moment just now, she really had a very strong desire to win.
Hunter No. 3 on the other side is expressing his opinion, and he also tends to think that No. 6 is like a wolf.
"Come on, No. 8 and No. 9, let's hold hands and throw out the wolf No. 6 together..." Before he finished speaking, a self-destruct animation appeared on everyone's mobile phone screen.
This is a function of the wolf revealing its own identity.
"Wolf No. 8 self-destructs. Game over. The good guys win."
Jiang Zhinian looked at Shi Ye in disbelief: "You, you are a wolf."
Shi Ye smiled and hugged Jiang Zhinian in his arms.
"Tsk tsk, I told you that the beauty trap works. In ancient times, people would risk their lives for the love of their beloved. Today, there are werewolves who explode themselves for their wives."
Because it was a casino for friends, winning or not was not that important. The other werewolf companions who were eliminated early were all laughing when they saw Shi Ye self-destruct. No one thought there was anything wrong with losing the game for his wife.
After all, games are not as important as making your wife happy.
Zhou Hongsheng, the first one to be eliminated, was finally able to speak: "I'm dying of holding it in. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time that the first person to stab me will definitely be Shi Ye."
Jiang Tao, Shi Ye's wolf companion, laughed and said, "Were you all fooled by Shi Ye's icy face, thinking he was calm and reliable? Haha, you didn't expect that he is actually a great actor."
Jiang Zhinian had doubted everyone present, but she had never doubted Shi Ye. It wasn't because of some kind of couple filter that made her blindly believe him, but simply because Shi Ye gave her the impression that he was such a good person.
Even when his wolf companion was suspected, he did not save him. Instead, he ruthlessly pointed out the other party's wolf-like weaknesses and trampled his wolf companion into a mud pit.
He remained calm throughout the whole process and did not feel any guilt for betraying his companions.
"Why, are you mad that I lied to you?"
Jiang Zhinian shook his head: "It's just a game, it's not a lie, there's nothing to be angry about."
Moreover, Shi Ye could have clearly won in the end, but he chose to self-destruct, obviously to make her happy.
Shi Ye pulled Jiang Zhinian to stand up: "You guys play, let's take a break."
Jiang Zhinian followed him to the balcony: "Why don't you play anymore?"
Shi Ye leaned his hands on the railing and looked back at her: "I don't want to lie to you."
He recalled the look in Jiang Zhinian's eyes when she looked at him, full of trust and dependence. Although he knew that she had accidentally brought her real-life emotions into the game, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Just stop playing.
Jiang Zhinian leaned against him: "It's okay, I'm not angry, really."
"That won't work either. If you tell the story of the boy who cried wolf too many times, the wolf will no longer be trustworthy."
Jiang Zhinian hugged him: "No, you are with me, and my trust is always full."
Shi Ye turned around, hugged the back of Jiang Zhinian's head and gently pressed it against his chest. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone clearing their throat.
Jiang Zhinian looked up and saw Jiang Tao standing at the balcony door: "Um, sorry to bother you, I have something I need to talk to Shi Ye about."
Jiang Zhinian gently pushed Shi Ye's shoulder and turned to leave: "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys chat."
Just as she reached the bathroom door, she found someone inside, so Jiang Zhinian leaned aside and waited politely. However, the person in the bathroom didn't look like she was using the toilet, but rather seemed to be putting on makeup and chatting.
