How exactly did you guess that?
Kawaishi was still unwilling to give up; if he didn't find out the reason, his mind would be in turmoil!
"Guess? Why should I guess?" Qi Long waved his hand. "I didn't really care what you were saying. I don't know where you lied. Maybe you're a transgender person?"
"What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean, 'maybe I'm a transgender person'?" Kawashiro grabbed his hair angrily. "You're concluding I'm lying based on such an outrageous guess?!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter what you say. If you don't say anything beforehand, my chances of guessing correctly are only fifty-fifty. But it is precisely because of your unnecessary action that I am certain that you will lie."
"Because people would never entrust their fate to an enemy. Besides, if you really wanted to tell the truth, wouldn't it be enough to just say 'I am human'? The reason for revealing so much information at the same time is simply to use several correct pieces of information to cover up one lie."
"As for farming red flowers? Do you think a world of legendary horror stories would leave such a loophole?"
"If you want to do it, find someone else to do it, don't drag me into it."
Qi Long stood up from the stone chair and slowly walked into the depths of the forest.
"By the way, referee, I'm going to deduct one of his red flowers."
With Kawaishi's face ashen, only one red flower remained on his life tablet!
Jiang Ran still accompanied Jiang Yaoyao. He had to admit that this seemingly quirky girl showed no nervousness at all; she looked around as if she were on vacation.
Are you really not afraid at all?
"Haha, isn't it because Brother Jiang is here to protect me?"
Jiang Ran covered his forehead, deciding to put aside other things for the time being and focus on things related to himself.
First, there's the talent draw in this world. Jiang Ran entrusted it to fate and drew three SSS-level talent cards!
The first talent is an offensive one, targeting bizarre creatures. In other worlds, this would be a good choice, but unfortunately, this is clearly a battle between ghost storytellers, and such a talent is not suitable for this world.
The second one is a talent that verifies rules. This world is called a rule-based mystery, but it's more like a game. The only rule is marked with an asterisk, so choosing this kind of talent is completely useless!
That means there's no choice at all; we can only choose the third one!
[SSS-Rank Talent: Dragon's Treasury]
[Effect: Creates a treasure vault in your mind. The vault requires a four-digit password to unlock. Hints to the password will appear in the world. Unlocking the vault will grant you items within (these items will definitely be crucial for completing this world).]
Hopefully you won't collapse before opening the treasure vault.
A very standard late-game ability, which is almost useless before the treasure vault is opened, but don't forget that Jiang Ran's identity is a wolf, which means that as long as he doesn't attack frequently, his survival rate is very high!
"It's not as good as I imagined, but it's passable."
Having finished selecting his talents, the next step concerns Jiang Ran's privilege as a "wolf"—what conditions he needs to meet to kill remotely.
Fluctuation.
Only those two words were the prompt in my mind.
Volatility? What kind of volatility?
The hints from those two words were so vague that even Jiang Ran himself was a little confused about what the host was trying to do. He thought that this method was the core of the wolf's killing, but it turned out that even the wolf itself didn't know what it was supposed to do?
Directly killing the others is too risky! Not to mention whether he can avoid being discovered, he doesn't have a weapon that is independent of the others. In other words, even if he launches a sneak attack, he may not be able to defeat some of the strong and powerful men!
Because everyone is on high alert, and many of them are acting with fellow countrymen who specialize in ghost stories, it's really difficult to make a move!
As Kawai Sekisuke said, the wolf identity is almost guaranteed to lose under the current rules!
Jiang Ran decided to play it safe. The host said that the rules for the next stage would be announced in three hours, and the solution might lie within them. Therefore, he did not intend to kill anyone within those three hours.
Using this time to find the password to the Dragon's Treasure Vault or to increase your red flower count at the gambling table is currently the most cost-effective option.
If Jiang Ran can open the Dragon's Treasury within these three hours, it will be the best possible outcome for him!
"Hey, Brother Jiang, look, isn't that the betting table?"
A similar stone table and two stone chairs appeared before them. Jiang Yaoyao stepped forward with interest, patted them, and then waved to Jiang Ran: "Didn't the host say that this thing can help us increase our red flowers? Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, let's try it!"
"The betting table..." Jiang Ran approached. "This thing is definitely not as simple as it seems to increase our number of red flowers. 'Gambling' comes at a price. The host only says that the winner can increase their number of red flowers, so what happens to the loser?"
In the world of SS-rank, there is no room for the slightest slackness!
"Ah—I understand! So, if you bet with me, Brother Jiang, we'll only end up killing each other?" Jiang Yaoyao sat down on the stone chair on the left. "Then let's avoid killing each other. Brother Jiang, you continue searching for clues. I'll sit here and wait for the right person to come!"
Are you confident?
"It's okay! If we're talking about fighting, I might actually be the worst out of these 30 people, but if it's about brains, I'm still very confident."
"Okay, then be careful."
Jiang Ran himself is a "wolf", so relatively speaking, even if Jiang Yaoyao acts alone, it is not very dangerous, because a sheep must risk its own life to kill its companion.
Moreover, as a "wolf," Jiang Ran preferred to act alone. Although Jiang Yaoyao was his teammate on the surface, he did not want her to know too much.
He could guarantee that he, as a wolf, would not harm Jiang Yaoyao for the time being, but he could not guarantee that Jiang Yaoyao would not harm him after she knew he was a wolf.
Watching Jiang Ran leave, Jiang Yaoyao's smile faded. She played with her hair, waiting for her destined partner to sit opposite her.
About ten minutes later, Kaneki Shui, an A-rank ghost storyteller from South Korea, arrived at the scene.
"Hey, little girl, are you alone?"
"Yeah, buddy, wanna make a bet?"
Jin Mushui first looked around to make sure no one else was hiding, and Jiang Yaoyao could clearly sense that he seemed to be getting nervous.
"What are you so nervous about, buddy?"
"You must be joking, little girl." Jin Mushui's dangerous gaze met Jiang Yaoyao's. "We're here alone, just the two of us—if you were a wolf, wouldn't I be in grave danger?"
