Chapter 196 The Death Game Gives You Endurance and Deep Affection is Over
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Didn't the witch use the antidote last night?" the short man asked loudly, "Why did someone still get killed by a werewolf?"
Asayama Hui sighed.
"You all misunderstood," she said. "My husband was not killed by a werewolf."
She was about to say something when a familiar hoarse voice reminded everyone that the next day's game had officially begun.
Everyone sat in their seats with shock and doubt.
On the field, the two empty seats were particularly eye-catching.
"Congratulations, everyone! You've successfully spent 12 peaceful hours." The voice chuckled. "Last night was Christmas Eve."
"Let's follow yesterday's order. Everyone, please begin your speeches."
He offered no explanation or comment on Asayama Onto's absence.
Amuro Toru took a deep breath. "Everyone... I'm sure you all would prefer that Mrs. Asayama speak first, rather than me."
"I'd also like to know more details about Mr. Atsuto Asayama's death."
"How did he die? Was he killed by a werewolf, or poisoned by a witch? Or was there some unexpected incident outside of the game?"
"Mrs. Asayama just said that Mr. Asayama died in the morning. If he was killed by a werewolf or poisoned by a witch, it should have happened at night, right?"
"According to the rules of the game, the period from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM is considered 'daytime', while the period from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM is considered 'nighttime'. If Mr. Asayama truly died this morning, I think we should determine whether his time of death was before or after 8:00 PM."
"Let's first analyze the two scenarios in which Mr. Asayama died at night. The first is that he was killed by a werewolf. In other words, the werewolves voted for him on the first night and for some reason voted him out, and the witches chose not to use the antidote. According to the rules of the game here, witches can save themselves, so I think we can rule out the possibility that Mr. Asayama himself is a witch."
"Why didn't the witch use the antidote? There are two possibilities to discuss here. One is that the witch hoped that the werewolf would commit suicide because of what Mr. Shin Kamijou Tsuji said yesterday, so she chose not to use the antidote. There is another possibility-" Toru Amuro glanced around, and Asayama Kei lowered her head slightly when she met his gaze.
"—The real identity of Kamijutsuji Shin, who was eliminated yesterday, is a witch. So when the werewolf killed Asayama Onto at night, the witch didn't use the antidote because he had already been eliminated during the day."
"As for the second scenario, Mr. Asayama was poisoned by a witch. I think this is less likely than the previous one. Unless the person who obtained the witch's identity had a personal grudge against Mr. Asayama and killed him. In this case, the witch could only be someone who already knew Mr. Asayama, in other words, an acquaintance of Mr. Asayama."
Everyone who heard what Amuro Toru said couldn't help but turn their gaze to Asayama Kei, Asayama Rika, and Mizutani Sayuri.
Aren’t these the acquaintances?
However, some people also glanced at Toru Amuro subtly.
Everyone saw his confrontation with Asayama Onto yesterday.
Lin Xi also glanced at Amuro Toru subtly.
Okay, okay, if she didn’t know that one of them was a witch and the other was a werewolf, it was impossible for Atsuto Asayama to die from poison or knife. She would have been convinced by Toru Amuro.
"This scenario is much less likely than the first one," Amuro emphasized. "As for the specific cause of Mr. Asayama's death, I think we'll have to wait and see what Mrs. Asayama says when she speaks later."
"As for my own situation—after eight o'clock last night, Sayuri and I locked the door. Even though we knew it was useless, and that if the werewolves wanted to kill us, they could just break in, and the lock wasn't strong, the locked door still gave Sayuri and me a sense of security."
"But thankfully, we made it to morning." Amuro Toru sighed. "I'm fine. Sayuri is a prophet... the werewolves are definitely eyeing her. Tonight, perhaps the witch's antidote protected her, so she's safe. But what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"
"If possible, I hope I can die before her at the hands of a werewolf."
Toru Amuro finished his speech and motioned Lin Xi to continue.
Lin Xi covered her mouth with a fan to hide the twitching corners of her mouth.
Toru Amuro, I have given you my endurance and deep affection.
How could she respond?
"I...it's just as Ayang said. After dinner, we stayed in the room and didn't come out."
"After eight o'clock, I used the bracelet to test a person's identity."
Having said this, she deliberately paused.
"It's...Mrs. Asayama," Lin Xi said. "The test results show that she's a good person. Please don't misunderstand! I did this not because I once doubted Mrs. Asayama, but because I felt deeply saddened by the result of Kamijutsuji Shin's exile yesterday. So... without knowing who to test, I chose you, who had voted for him."
She lowered her eyes slightly, seeming a little guilty: "Fortunately, you are a good person, I am really relieved."
"Ah, everyone might be curious why I didn't use my prophetic powers on Ayang first—because getting the answer is meaningless to me," Lin Xi said. "Even if there's a one in ten thousand chance that the person sitting next to me is deceiving me and is actually a well-hidden werewolf—I still believe he would never harm me."
"Can love really transcend death? Haha... I don't know, but I'd rather take a gamble while I'm still alive."
"I don't have much time left to live anyway. I'll probably be killed by the werewolf tonight. Ah Yang, after I die, you must not avenge me. You must stay calm and think, find out who the real werewolf is, and then try your best to survive to the end."
"At least in the end, there is still someone alive who once loved me."
"Please allow Mrs. Asayama to speak."
Lin Xi is still pretending to be a prophet and has no intention of revealing his identity.
After two days of acting, she was exhausted. If she wanted to find the real mastermind behind the scenes, it was no use just hiding here and playing games with this group of people. She had to find a way to get away as soon as possible.
If the prophet later reveals his identity and votes her out for lying, that would be exactly what she wants; if that person still hides and refuses to come out, Lin Xi also plans to run away tonight.
The bomb locked in his hand was never a problem, Lin Xi could throw it into the system space at any time.
But to get access to the bombs in other people's hands, you still have to find the hiding place of the mastermind behind the scenes.
She had to find that person before Werewolf was over. Otherwise, the mastermind who was seeking revenge in the name of the game might kill everyone he wanted and then explode Toru Amuro in a fit of rage.
In addition, Toru Amuro himself must survive to the end.
Lin Xi was not too worried about this - Toru Amuro was a great actor, and he also had the werewolf card. As long as no one voted him out during the day, he should be able to survive to the end.
Next to her, Asayama Hui spoke slowly, "Mr. Konggu's guess just now is very reasonable and very realistic."
"But unfortunately... my husband did not die at the hands of a werewolf, nor was he killed by a witch's poison."
"You may have guessed it from yesterday's speech. We are here for an item in the auction. Yes, it is the elixir that is said to be able to cure stubborn ailments and save lives."
"My husband's health has always been poor. When he gets emotional, his heart aches. Sometimes he becomes unsteady and faints. We've been to many hospitals, but they couldn't find anything wrong with him. They just said all his indicators were very low, but they couldn't find the cause."
"That's why we thought the elixir might be useful, so we came to this auction."
"Who could have imagined... Even though we won the item, the auction was unexpectedly interrupted. Before we even got the elixir, we were forced into this game."
"My poor husband... The hope of survival was right before his eyes, but he still died from overthinking the game. Woohoo... Even I didn't expect this. I thought he was just tired and needed to rest as usual... I thought he could sleep a little longer, and it didn't matter if he didn't eat breakfast, and get up later... I didn't expect that when I went to call him again, he was already..."
Asayama Hui's reserved expression finally collapsed. Big tears rolled down her cheeks, and she tried hard to suppress her broken sobs, but her soft sobs made her even more sympathetic.
She couldn't stop crying and cried for a long time.
Perhaps the words she used to scold Kamijouji Shin yesterday were still ringing in her ears. Apart from Lin Xi giving her a sympathetic glance, no one paid any attention to her.
Her crying gradually stopped and she wiped her tears with the handkerchief she carried with her.
"That's what happened. My husband didn't die at the hands of a werewolf or a witch, but at the hands of fate."
"My husband was just unlucky. He didn't get the elixir and treatment."
"Everyone..." She looked around with red eyes, "I'm tired of this damn game."
"I cannot blame anyone here for my husband's death. But I must remind everyone here that his death ... bought us a precious opportunity."
"I remember the rules saying, 'During the day, one person must be eliminated, otherwise, a random human will die.' That's why we have to vote during the day."
"But the rules also say, 'The period from 8am to 8pm is 'daytime,' and the period from 8pm to 8am is 'nighttime.'" Death means elimination.
"I'm quite sure my husband died after eight o'clock. In other words, he died during the day. In other words, according to the rules of the game, he was eliminated during the day."
"This means that we won't have to eliminate anyone in today's vote. Because someone has already been eliminated, even if we all abstain, the host won't randomly choose someone to eliminate."
"Last night was Christmas Eve. Today should also be a peaceful day."
"Next, whoever votes during the voting phase... is the werewolf who hopes the good guys will be reduced in numbers so they can win."
Asayama Hui said this.
