A wolf...?
Jiang Ran immediately scanned the crowd with his eyes. Although this was just a simple team division exercise, people would subconsciously show a different expression when they drew the "wolf" card.
Jiang Ran noticed the subtle changes in the expressions of several people. If he could, he would have preferred that these idiots weren't his teammates.
Most people remained expressionless.
"Alright, everyone, please open your eyes. Now we're going to explain the rules of the game!"
The host snapped his fingers, and nothing happened in the real world, but the live stream chat exploded!
All live stream feeds were shut down at the same time, leaving only one line of text: "Do Not Spy!"
There are no consequences for killing inside, no signals can be transmitted from the outside, and now even the contents inside are not open to the outside world?
Isn't this just a huge "secret room"?
"As you know, my game is called Wolf and Sheep." The host paused. "Each of you will be assigned one of these two roles, and the ratio of these two roles is 29:1!"
29:1?!
That means one of them has to fight against the remaining 29 people? Are you kidding me?!
"The sheep have to find a way to eliminate the wolf, while the wolf has to kill everyone except itself!" The host chuckled. "Of course, since the ratio between the two sides is very uneven, our rules will be strengthened to favor the weaker side."
Everyone received a card with two red flowers and two black flowers on it.
“These are all your ‘fate cards.’ When all the flowers on your fate cards turn black, I will personally kill him, which will be considered as elimination.”
"If you are killed by someone else during the process, the red flower on your life card will turn black, and most of your memories will be erased. You will not know who killed you."
This is how wolves are protected! No wonder the world doesn't allow observers to give any hints this time, because that would practically spell defeat for the wolves!
"Besides causing death through physical means, a wolf can also refresh an event in its mind. Once this event is fulfilled, it can directly designate a person and turn one of their red flowers black!"
Is it like a mission? You can kill people remotely as long as you complete the mission!
"And every time a wolf eliminates someone, one of his black flowers turns red." The host continued, "It should be noted that once a sheep kills someone, as long as the target is not a wolf, he will be eliminated immediately, regardless of how many red flowers he has left."
The announcement of several game rules all favored the wolf, but is that really enough for a wolf to defeat 29 sheep?
Jiang Ran is a wolf, so now everyone on the field is an enemy to him, including the two people next to him.
He has to kill everyone to survive!
"I have a question," Ji Cangshui of Huoluo Kingdom stood up, "Wolves have a way to replenish their safflower, can sheep do the same?"
He knew this was a bit of a bluff. There was only one wolf, but the sheep were a pack of 29. If each sheep could replenish its own roe, how long would it take for the wolf to kill all 29 sheep?
Surprisingly, the host actually nodded!
"This method doesn't just apply to sheep, it applies to everyone here!" The host pointed to the depths of the forest, "There will be more than 10 'betting tables' inside, you can think of it as a mini-game."
"Two people can participate in this game each time, and the winner can get a red flower, with no limit on the number of times."
Jiang Ran controlled his expression to keep it from changing. If the previous rules still gave him some hope, the current rules had almost driven the wolf into the abyss.
If there are two "sheep" who trust each other and keep using the gambling table to win, then he can only kill them by physical means. There is no other way!
If a sheep kills the wrong person, it will be eliminated. This can make it easier for the wolf to act in the early stages, but as soon as the wolf shows any clues, the sheep will attack it as a group!
"The rules for the first phase of the game have been announced. Everyone can now head into the forest. Three hours later, all survivors, please return here. I will then announce the rules for the second phase."
The host stepped down from the stone platform, went to the side to drink a glass of water to relax, and then said, "Oh right, I forgot to mention earlier, no player can return here during the game; it can only be done after three hours."
"Alright, let the game begin!"
The ratio of 29:1 is simply too outrageous, so many people are taking a chance, thinking that people from my country shouldn't be wolves, right?
"Listen up, everyone!" Kawashiro from the Sakura Kingdom shouted, drawing everyone's attention. "There's only one wolf! In that case, we don't need to go through all this trouble. We can clear the level right now!"
Everyone was watching him at that moment.
"I urge that Wolf to step forward; it would be better for everyone." Kawashiro began his analysis. "If we can be the first to eliminate the Wolf, it means that a total of 29 of us will receive the full SS-level reward, and each country will receive three times that amount! Do you know what that means?"
"This means that Blue Star's technology has exploded! This is a great feat that benefits all mankind!" Kawashiro became more and more excited as he spoke. "On behalf of the Sakura Kingdom, I make a promise that no matter who that wolf brother is, as long as he is willing to sacrifice himself, the Sakura Kingdom is willing to take out one-third of the reward as compensation."
"With such deeds, he will become a hero!"
Everyone was staring at him, but no one answered.
"Why don't you answer? You know, the wolf has no chance of winning! How are you going to kill all 29 of us? Why bother participating in a game you can't win?"
Kawaishi looked worried about that wolf, but the people in the audience weren't fools. Did he represent Japan? Who did he think he was to represent his own country?
No one will believe his nonsense.
"Is it possible that the reason no one is stepping forward is—" A ghost storyteller from the land of the setting sun pointed directly at Kawashiro, "You are the wolf in sheep's clothing."
"That makes sense. It seems like a good tactic for the wolf to step forward and clarify its identity so that it can become the leader of the sheep, right?"
Kawaishi's face darkened: "That's slander! I think you're the wolf! Stop making futile struggles and just self-destruct!"
The atmosphere on the field immediately became tense.
Here, no one can trust anyone.
