"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Hoskins casually retorted. "None of that changes the fact that you're about to die by my hand."
Hoskin had a weapon in hand, so the situation was not optimistic for Jiang Ran. Hoskin's own combat skills were not low, and some of his knives made him even more formidable.
That's why he dared to attack Jiang Ran directly, because he was confident of victory!
Jiang Ran quickly hid behind a tree. Hoskin charged forward with his knife raised, but Jiang Ran threw the stone in his hand, which hit Hoskin's instep!
Hoskins' movements slowed slightly due to the pain, and Jiang Ran took the opportunity to deliver an elbow strike to his chest while simultaneously reaching out to snatch his dagger!
After all, Hawkins is a human being. Before this, he may have killed other strange creatures in the world of ghost stories, or he may have used the phones of these strange creatures to kill other ghost story writers, but he has never personally killed a single person!
Therefore, his methods were not ruthless enough. He had the idea of killing, but he lacked the determination to do so!
This gave Jiang Ran an opportunity!
During the struggle, neither of them wanted to leave the dagger to the other, so after a brief scramble, the dagger flew out and the two quickly switched tactics to hand-to-hand combat!
Hoskins suffered a setback due to Jiang Ran's attack, which inflicted serious injuries on his instep and chest. These injuries gradually worsened during the ensuing struggle, ultimately leading to his defeat!
Jiang Ran seized the opportunity to break free from the fight and picked up the dagger on the ground. Hoskins immediately tried to run away after he noticed this, but Jiang Ran threw the dagger, which accurately pierced his thigh!
Hoskins tried to wrest the dagger back, but the intense pain caused him to fall over, making it impossible for him to react in the situation. This gave Jiang Ran the opportunity to get close!
"I'm sorry, but since you're determined to kill me, I naturally can't spare your life!"
Jiang Ran pulled out a dagger and stabbed it fiercely into Hoskin's neck!
Once Hoskin had stopped breathing, Jiang Ran sat down on the ground, panting with relief. There were too many variables in this battle. If it happened again, he really wasn't confident that he could defeat Hoskin one hundred percent!
When he looked up again, the host wearing the Aries mask was beside him and picked up Hoskins' body from the ground.
"According to the rules, I will take him to the starting line and deduct one of his red flowers. Keep up the good work, 'Wolf'."
Jiang Ran frowned and looked at the host: "Did you lie about the rules?"
Hoskin's behavior was so much like that of a wolf that if Jiang Ran himself weren't a wolf, he would definitely believe that he was the only wolf!
So is it possible that there was more than one wolf?
“What a pointless question, Mr. Player.” The host shook his head. “Don’t you ghost storytellers know this better than we do? Since the asterisked rule says I won’t lie, then I absolutely will not lie.”
"Instead of worrying about that, you should think about how to deal with your own troubles."
The host disappeared instantly.
"No, if he's a sheep, none of this makes sense. He can only be a wolf!" Jiang Ran's gaze sharpened; he seemed to have discovered the wordplay the host was playing!
“You will all be assigned one of these two identities, and the ratio of these two identities is 29:1!”
These are the host's original words!
It seems that from the beginning he only said "the ratio of the two identities is 29:1", not "the ratio of the wolf to the sheep is 29:1"!
If that's the case, then wouldn't that mean there are 29 wolves out of 30 people? I wonder who was so unlucky as to draw the sheep role; they probably thought they had a lot of teammates.
Jiang Ran wasn't entirely without doubts, but due to various factors and the lack of concrete evidence, he dared not draw any conclusions rashly.
The wolf's victory condition is to kill everyone except itself, so no matter how many wolves there are, they have no real teammates. Once you get to this point, everything before can be connected!
Why did Qi Long initially claim to be a wolf? He wasn't really scheming against anyone, although there might have been elements of scheming involved, but his true identity was that of a wolf!
And wasn't Jiang Yaoyao's confident solo actions halfway through just an excuse to get Jiang Ran away? It seems that her two "teammates" are surprisingly in agreement, neither of them intending to attack their compatriot from the start.
It seems there are no such things as remotely reducing red flowers in this forest. This was probably a dirty trick by the other wolves after they had completed their mission!
Regardless of whether the opponent is a wolf or a sheep, the three SSSs are the primary targets of concentrated fire, or even more so!
Because if most people are sheep, they will worry about whether these powerful individuals are on their side and whether they will fight each other. But if they are wolves, they will not have this concern at all, because everyone except themselves is an enemy!
This is not a game between two teams; it is a one-man battle royale where the final winner will stand on the blood of 29 people!
But the main question is why the host said "strengthen the weaker side". It can be said that it was because of this sentence that Jiang Ran believed that there was only one "wolf". After all, no matter how you look at it, the rules are in the favor of the "wolf". If there is any weakness in this identity, it is probably only the number of people.
Jiang Ran shook his head, temporarily banishing unnecessary thoughts from his mind. Since he had so many wolf companions, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
Ultimately, the one who survives to the end wins, not the one who kills the most.
