Chapter 147: The Twelfth Round Then I bet that you will be the one who escapes...
“…”
"The sheriff has already got it. Who should I vote for today?"
"Except for Wanshu and your mother, it's up to you to decide."
"Then let my mother decide?"
"good."
“…”
“…”
"Hey, Liu Hui, what's going on between you and Wan Xiang?"
"Um?"
"Didn't you reject her this morning? Why do we have to come and have lunch with her at noon?"
"Because I need to discuss cooperation with her."
"No, but aren't you two embarrassed?"
"It's not embarrassing."
"But, but I'm so embarrassed! Wanxiang isn't eating, she's just sitting across from us staring at us. I feel like my brain is going to explode from all her staring!"
"…She didn't eat?"
"You, you, you! Liu Hui, you didn't even dare to look up at her!"
“…”
"Hey, come on, don't be silent. It makes me look like a psychopath talking to myself! Also, Wanxiang isn't looking at us anymore. She's looking at your mother. Can we bring the food to the table and eat?"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure! My legs are almost numb from squatting. Liu Hui, please be kind and loosen my pants!"
"Oh, I thought you were staying here with me because you were a nice person, but it turns out it's because..."
"No, no, no, I don't care about pants. I'm just a nice person. I saw you were lonely here, so I came here to keep you company!"
"I see."
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"
"Then let's stand up quickly, wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Bang!"
"Fuck you, you're crazy! You hit me when I ask you a question!?"
"I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean it!!"
He Yuezhe stared in amazement at Ban Weile and Ba Ergou who collided with each other. The bowl in his hand shook and was steadily caught by Wanxiang who was sitting across the table.
"You didn't mean to? You stood up and bumped into me as soon as I came over. How could that not be intentional?!"
"I, I didn't see you. I really didn't mean to. I'm sorry!!"
"Huh? Boy, I think you're just looking for—"
"Alright, Ba Ergou," He Yuezhe patted the man who was grabbing Ban Weile's collar and swinging his fist, "If you still want that thing, stop it right away."
"Liu Hui, oh, right, I came here to see you," Ba Ergou clapped his hands and stood in front of He Yuezhe nonchalantly, looking straight at her. "When will you give me what you promised to give me?"
"Liu Hui, when did you start working with him again?" Ban Weile, who had escaped the disaster, approached He Yuezhe and asked in a low voice.
"secret."
"Our cooperation isn't complete yet," He Yuezhe said, pushing away Ba Ergou's outstretched hand. "It's not good to rush."
"But I can't bear it anymore!!!" Ba Ergou stared at He Yuezhe fiercely with his blood-red eyes that seemed to be dripping with blood, his voice hoarse, "Do you want to kill everyone?!!"
"You guessed right." He Yuezhe smiled.
"Liu Hui!!" Ba Ergou leaned closer to her. "I fucking know what you want to do, and I promised to cooperate with you, but can't you just act a little better in front of others?!"
"...You're smarter than when you first got here."
He Yuezhe's knee hit the man's lower abdomen. As soon as he exerted force, the man curled up on the ground in excruciating pain.
"Also, don't get too close to me. I don't like mad dogs." She kicked the man in the face, "especially smart mad dogs."
"So, don't come looking for me again until 'Ba Ergou' comes back."
"You'll have three seconds, get out of here."
Watching the man endure the pain and escape before the countdown, He Yuezhe rarely found this place interesting.
"Miss Wan," she turned around and grabbed Wan Xiang's hand that was holding the bowl, "As you can see, I already have a new partner. Our relationship ends here."
Wanxiang, you really know my plan, right? He Yuezhe smiled and put a note in her hand.
"Liu Hui." Wan Xiang's face was gloomy. This was the face Liu Hui was most familiar with.
"No, it's not so much 'the end' as it is—"
"You were abandoned by me."
——[Help me, help me kill Wanxiang, and I will give you what you want.] [Woman]
The note that He Yuezhe slipped to Wanxiang contained a conversation between her and Ba Ergou. The conversation consisted of only two short sentences, but it was terrifying to read.
"Ban Wei Le, let's go."
"Wait wait wait I haven't finished eating yet!!!"
"Then I'll go, you can eat slowly."
"No no no no, I'm coming right now!!!"
…
…
"Liu Hui."
"Um?"
"Liu Hui!"
"What's wrong?"
"Liu Hui..."
"Looking for a fight?"
"No, no, no! Hehehe, I just think you're amazing. You can break up with someone like Wanxiang so easily!"
"What kind of person is Wanxiang in your eyes?"
"Well, scary, horrible, like the judge in hell!"
“…”
"Hey, it's true, don't you think? She just stands in front of you with her hands on her hips. If you don't say anything, she won't speak. If you do speak, she'll just reply with 'um', 'oh', or 'ok'. It's like she's judging you!"
"No? She was pretty normal when she spoke to me."
"That's only when I'm talking to you."
"...How many words did you exchange with her?"
“…”
“…”
"...Uh, uh, a, a sentence or two?"
"So you're pretty good at understanding people? Why don't you take a look at who I am?"
“No no no no no no no no no no no!!”
"Okay, don't be afraid. I'm not trying to scold you, I just want to remind you that Wanxiang is not as scary as you think. If you have the chance, you can also try to make friends with her."
"Then why did you reject her this morning?"
“…”
"oh?"
"I'll promise her after I get out alive."
"Tsk, why do you say that as if I can get out alive? If even someone as smart and capable as you can't get out, then I'm definitely going to have to stay here with you."
There was a gleam of innocence in the boy's eyes. He looked at He Yuezhe, and He Yuezhe also looked at him.
The light from the fluorescent lamp in the room shone between the two people and onto the gray ground, like a dividing line, separating the two people into two worlds.
Ban Wei Le, I think I understand.
"Would you like to make a bet with me?" He Yuezhe stretched out his hand. "Let's bet on who can escape from here alive."
"Okay," Ban Wei Le also stretched out his hand, "Then I'll bet that you'll be the one who escapes!"
"Well, I bet you can escape from here alive."
"Xiaohui, Xiaohui!"
Their fingers hooked together.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations, you've unlocked the side quest: Be the One Who Escapes! Completing this side quest will fulfill one of the conditions for saving Ban Weile, the target of the salvation quest, and speed up the salvation process!"
"Hey, your mother is calling you." Ban Weile's gaze passed He Yuezhe and looked behind her.
He Yuezhe then turned around and waved towards the figure: "Mom, I'm here!"
"Um, Xiaohui, come here for a moment. Mom has something to tell you." The figure approached quickly.
"What's wrong, Mom?" He Yuezhe supported her and found that her forehead was covered with sweat.
"Ouch," Liu Zhaodi tapped her waist, waved her hand, and said, "Xiaohui, come with me. I have something to tell you."
…
"Mom, what's going on?"
He Yuezhe followed Liu Zhaodi towards the restaurant. They walked around the restaurant and the kitchen and arrived at the secret base of He Yuezhe and Ban Weile.
"Xiaohui," Liu Zhaodi gently raised her hand, "Mom doesn't know what you like to eat, and I'm worried that you might not be used to some of the dishes, so I took the initiative and made some of our favorite dishes."
"Here's the key. The food is locked in a big box in the haystack over there." A key was placed in her hand. "If you're hungry, go and eat. Go and eat. Don't starve yourself."
The familiar cold texture, sharp and rough edges, and the slightly pungent smell of alcohol.
——This is a key carved from beer bottle fragments.
"mom……?"
"Xiaohui, I've noticed you haven't been eating much these past few days. Even though you haven't complained about being hungry, I'm still worried about you," Liu Zhaodi smiled, her eyes wrinkling together. "I was worried you'd be embarrassed to come see me, so I made some for you. You can come get it yourself."
"Also, that's...ah, Xiaohui, what happened with your dad this morning..."
"Mom, I'm fine." He Yuezhe hugged her.
"Ah! Ah, ah, that's good, that's good," Liu Zhaodi froze for a moment, then hugged He Yuezhe back, "Mom is still worried, worried about you..."
"Mom, I know everything. I know everything. Although Dad is dead, we are still alive. We must live bravely."
"Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, we have to survive." Liu Zhaodi's hug tightened. "By the way, Xiaohui, the wall of your room is broken. It's very cold when you sleep at night. Otherwise, Mom will help you fix it?"
"……don't want."
"No, forget it, um, forget it," Liu Zhaodi patted her on the back. "Then Xiaohui, the quilt in Mom's room is thicker. I'll give it to you later. Cover yourself with it and you won't catch a cold easily."
"Look at you, you're wearing so little and your injuries haven't healed yet. You should pay more attention to keeping warm."
"Also, you and Xiaoban shouldn't stay up all night chatting. You've got dark circles under your eyes, and you can't even eat."
"This is bad for your health, Xiaohui. In this place, whoever has the best health is the most powerful. You have to take good care of yourself and strive for it..."
"The once-a-day voting session has arrived! Everyone, please return to your rooms as soon as possible!"
"Mom, I have to go." He Yuezhe let go of Liu Zhaodi.
"..." Liu Zhaodi smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go."
"Mom isn't leaving?"
"Mom, I'm here to help digest the food. I'll be leaving soon, leaving soon."
…
"Ding ding ding ding! The third round of voting officially begins!"
"[Organizer] has used the 'Everyone Mute' power!"
"Unfortunately, the deceased last night was the former Sheriff No. 3. Please, the current Sheriff, choose whether No. 4 or No. 2 should speak first!"
But mom, why didn’t you tell me?
“I, I…”
Liu Zhaodi lowered her head, her voice trembling: "I am a wolf, please, please vote for me!!"
Why didn't you tell me that you were planning to die?
"Oh hahahahahahahahahahaha this is so interesting!! The [Sheriff] actually chose to let himself into the [Identifying Werewolves] segment!!"
"So now—"
"Attention! The reason for this [Speech] is [Acknowledging Werewolves]. Therefore, after No. 7 finishes his speech, the voting phase will immediately begin!!"
"If number 7 receives more than half of the votes in the voting session, she will be executed immediately!!"
But mom, I don’t need your willful sacrifice.
I just want you to be alive.
I just want you to live...
