Chapter 137: Wheel/Plate at Sea (15)
I don't know when a brass bell appeared on the table.
It's a bit like the school bell, which makes a dinging sound when you ring it.
The captain rang the bell to announce the start of tonight's meeting.
Everyone knows the rules of Werewolf, and the meeting process is similar to that of Werewolf. Speaking cards are very rigid, and you must speak in order. You cannot speak out of turn. The only exception is during the voting process.
There is no unified voting time. If you feel someone is suspicious at any time, you can vote for him directly. You will be able to speak after voting, but you can only vote once per game, so you must be cautious.
If a person gets more than half of the votes at any time, he will be executed directly.
However, because choosing the wrong person means death, everyone is extremely conservative. Furthermore, most people go it alone, and it's even less likely that they would actively accuse others when speaking.
Even Su Yue himself spoke, pointing at Cang Zhi and Su Chen, and said, "The three of us have always been together, and we can guarantee each other's good status."
This kind of speech continued until halfway through. When it was someone's turn, he suddenly stood up, pointed excitedly at the person two seats away from him, and shouted, "Vote for him! He's a thief! Hurry, vote for him! He came straight to me right after the identity drawing to discuss how to steal people! Trust me!"
The whole audience was in an uproar, except for the person who was accused, who turned pale. He probably never expected that he would be accused by his accomplices, but he had no way to refute it.
The speaker continued emotionally, "We have the same identity and can see each other's identity. This person discussed with me what to do, but how could I have known what to do? We're all in this together. I can't betray my brother, can I?"
He pointed again at the accused man: "Vote for him! Brothers! Vote for him!"
The meaning of this person's speech is very clear. He and the accused are two wolves. As long as one of the two bad guys is voted out, all the good people can survive. So there is no problem in voting for the accused person.
However, if you vote wrong, one of the good people will die randomly, and once the vote is cast, it cannot be changed, so everyone still remains cautious at this time.
The speaker saw that no one had taken any action and that there were only 30 seconds left. He became even more anxious and pointed at the young man with a ponytail: "At the beginning, he said he was going to look for you! Did you see him at the beginning?"
The young man with ponytail's expression changed.
It seems that what he said came true.
"Then he said he was going to check on you two because you were a pushover!" Seeing his effect, the speaker pointed at the couple and asked, "Did you see him behind you two?"
The young couple lowered their eyes.
Obviously, it came true again.
"Look, I even know his whereabouts. Don't you believe me? Hurry up and surrender to him. If you can't surrender, anyone whose things he steals will die!"
As the spokesperson finished speaking, there was a "ding" sound, and a red light lit up in front of the accused player.
This means being voted for.
This vote was most likely cast by the spokesperson himself in order to incite others, because in this case, as long as someone votes first, it will be easier for others to follow suit.
Sure enough, after this ticket lit up, another one soon followed.
Now there are only 11 people in total. As long as they get 6 votes, the accused player will be eliminated and punished.
Now only four votes remain for execution.
The accused player was not an expert at Werewolf, and he was almost going crazy, but it was not his turn to speak, so he couldn't even defend himself.
The voting came to a brief standstill because others were not sure whether they should vote in this way. After all, casting the wrong vote could have fatal consequences and would cause the death of a random person in the good camp, and this "random" person might be themselves.
Just when the player who spoke was about to bring another wave of votes, suddenly, there was a "ding" sound, and someone voted again.
The player was delighted, but then he discovered that the vote did not appear on the player he accused.
Instead, it appeared under his own name.
His expression froze instantly, with surprise, bewilderment, fear... appearing on his face at the same time, making his expression look hideous.
The player was about to argue for himself when, at the other end of the long table, the man in sunglasses slowly stretched out his finger and poked the bell on the table.
The shrill ringing drowned out the player's voice and interrupted his words.
The captain tried to stop him feebly: "Players are not allowed to touch the bell..."
The man in sunglasses looked at the captain.
Captain: "But we can make exceptions, QAQ"
The man in sunglasses ignored the aggrieved skull and looked at the embarrassed player standing alone. He curled his lips and said, "I just voted. According to the rules, the one who voted gets to speak, right?"
This isn't a question for the players at all.
The captain replied obediently, "Yes."
The man in sunglasses laughed again and snapped his fingers: "Let's discuss it now."
"You want us to vote for him." He pointed at the accused player. "Let's assume you know his identity. If he's a thief, as you said, then he'll be punished if we vote for him. If he's not a thief, then if we vote for him, a random good person will be punished."
"You're asking us to vote for him, which means you'll survive in both scenarios. So, regardless of whether he's a thief or not, it's already been established that you're a thief."
The man in sunglasses ignored the speaker's horrified expression and continued, "Is it possible that you didn't know his identity and just made it up? Of course it's possible, but in that case, we have to get rid of you first. Because in a game that requires logic, a madman who bites people randomly appears. Who knows who you'll bite tomorrow?"
The speaker's face turned purple, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he roared at the top of his lungs: "I think you're the one who bit—"
"bite"
"bite"
"bite"
The voting sounds rang out one after another, and in an instant it reached 6 votes. Except for Su Yue, Cang Zhi and Su Chen, all the remaining votes were instantly given to the person who first accused his teammates of stealing.
His defense came to an abrupt halt, as if he was tied by an invisible rope. His eyes widened in extreme fear and he struggled desperately but to no avail.
"The number of votes has reached the requirement, let's start the execution." The Skeleton Captain said with a smile.
The next second, the flap under the cabin rose up with a "click". The executed player only had time to let out a last scream before he and his chair were thrown into the ferocious deep sea.
.
The scene was silent.
Even Su Yue was no longer in the mood to bully the Skeleton Captain. He didn't stop the person from dying, but just bullied the Skeleton Captain, which seemed very incompetent.
Although this player wanted to harm others today but his methods were too low-level and he was retaliated against, and he deserved it, Su Yue couldn't think of any suitable way to reduce casualties in this process, which was still quite annoying.
It was rare for the Skeleton Captain to win the game against the player at the end of a certain day. The key point was that he was still alive. An obvious look of joy appeared on his skull, but after being glared at by Su Yue, he quickly put away his expression.
——
That night, there was also a violent storm, and seafarers were rustling past the room. The next day, the ship docked at a new port and the identity drawing began again.
After drawing their identities, the three of them gathered again, but this time, Su Yue noticed that Su Chen's expression looked a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Su Yue asked.
"Boss, I'm the thief this time." Su Chen whispered.
Cang Zhi: "What a coincidence, me too."
Suyue:.
Su Yue:...?
