Chapter 110
Thief?
Lu Zixi's knowledge of Werewolf was limited to "having played it" and now he completely forgot what the Rogue card was used for. He only remembered that the Rogue did not belong to the "good guy" or "bad guy" camp in the conventional gameplay, and he didn't remember anything else.
He was stunned for a moment when thinking about this question. The handshake lasted a little long, and Fu Ruixing didn't let go of his hand, but just looked at him.
Or in other words, stare at him.
The moment Lu Zixi came to his senses, he was almost frightened by his eyes. He mobilized all his reaction ability and acting skills to not shake off his hand on the spot. Instead, he politely withdrew his hand, took a step back, and stood beside Yan Yunzhen.
Yan Yunzhen calmly stepped forward to block the attack.
Fu Ruixing shrugged innocently.
For a moment, everyone was aware of the tense atmosphere, but apart from the parties involved, no one knew the real reason. They thought it was caused by the commercial competition between Yuanhong and Tianhan. No one dared to get involved in this deadlock. Even the photographer quietly moved the camera away to film the two female guests' impromptu oral broadcast to the sponsor doux.
Yan Yunzhen kept looking at Fu Ruixing's back until he sat back in his seat.
Lu Zixi took out his cell phone and started searching what the "thief card" in Werewolf was.
Soon, he found the definition of the thief card in the encyclopedia.
The encyclopedia told him that the thief card belongs to the third camp. At the beginning of the game, God randomly draws two cards from all the cards, and the other cards are dealt normally. Then the thief needs to choose one of the two cards as his identity, and the other card is invalid. If there is a werewolf among the two identity cards, the thief must choose the werewolf. [1]
This puzzled Lu Zixi.
In this way, theoretically the identity of "thief" does not exist.
Because at the very beginning, when someone draws the "thief" card, he must choose one of the two alternative cards as his next identity, then the original "thief" identity will no longer exist, and the "villager", "werewolf", "prophet", "witch" and other identity cards he chooses will be his next identity.
unless……
Fu Ruixing had never chosen his identity, and his thief card was still valid. He could replace other people's identities at any time as long as he wanted.
Such a guess made Lu Zixi break out in a cold sweat.
He also realized a mistake in his previous reasoning.
When he found out that Lin Mu was a civilian, he easily turned the page. This inference did not cause any serious consequences, because being a civilian meant that at least he was not a "bad guy" and was not in the opposite camp of Lu Zixi.
But he hadn't considered that a host who had never encountered the God System and didn't want to harm him was also a commoner. Not all hosts were like Yan Yunzhen, who happened to have a system in the group that had once snatched a red envelope from the God System. Although Yan Yunzhen had never used the prophet card obtained from the God System, his identity was indeed a prophet.
In other words, the prophet card is only meaningful when it detects god cards, wolf cards and cards from the third-party camp. It does not mean anything when it detects civilian cards.
This inference made Lu Zixi feel a little scared.
He was now certain that Fu Ruixing was the third host in this world. So was there a fourth or fifth?
Nobody knows.
He pushed the phone to Yan Yunzhen, and Yan Yunzhen withdrew his gaze and looked at his phone.
Yan Yunzhen knew that Lu Zixi had such a card in his hand. Lu Zixi had told him before and also said that he was going to bring it here to test Fu Ruixing's identity. Therefore, when he saw the search interface of Lu Zixi's mobile phone, he immediately understood what Lu Zixi was talking about.
Fu Ruixing's identity is a thief.
Based on the fact that people like to tinker with all kinds of props in the charlatan system, it is hard to say whether there are any enhanced functions. Lu Zixi is really afraid that Fu Ruixing can use this card to travel through time and space to any person. It would be like a ghost story.
Thinking of this, Lu Zixi could no longer sit still.
He decided to ask the charlatan system himself.
Ever since the system function came into being, the two people, who already had a great understanding of each other, could understand each other's intentions with just a glance. Lu Zixi gave a slight signal, and Yan Yunzhen took the initiative to sit forward a little, blocking Lu Zixi and the phone behind him.
Although the production crew of "Heading Out to the Fields" always follows and films, since the guests are obviously busy with personal matters, they would not be so presumptuous as to secretly take pictures of other people's mobile phone screens. After seeing Yan Yunzhen's actions, the photographer took the initiative to avoid the camera and waited for Lu Zixi to finish his work.
Lu Zixi turned on another mobile phone that he always carried with him.
He has been so busy recently that he even has to rush to eat and sleep. In addition, he was very embarrassed when he failed to code in front of the Doomsday Survival System. He has not chatted with those system friends for a long time. Occasionally, he will check the group chat after he is done with his work, send some of his red envelopes to the systems in need, and then quickly log off.
Although the Doomsday Survival System was cheated every day when it was being developed and seemed very incompetent, it was truly righteous and never gave him up. It even smoothed things over for him. Therefore, when Lu Zixi appeared in the group chat again under the alias of "Eating Melon System", everyone's reaction was still very enthusiastic.
[Quick Transmigration System Red Packet Group]
[Eating Melon System]: Excuse me! @Shengun System, are you there? It's urgent!
【Eating Watermelon System】: [Lucky Red Packet]
[The red envelopes from the [Eating Melon System] were all claimed in one second, and the [Flirting Man System] was the lucky one]
【Shen Gun System】:
【Flirting System】: Is the melon coming?
【White Moonlight System】: Welcome!
【White Moonlight System】: No, melon!
【Seduction System】: Oh, typo
【White Moonlight System】:???
[White Moonlight System]: [You're about to get beaten.jpg]
【Apocalypse Survival System】: Stop making trouble, just listen to melons
【Shengun System】: Line
【Seducing System】: ...
[White Moonlight System]: ...Sage, is your system stuck? Your response speed is so slow.
[Eating Watermelon System]: ...How about we chat privately?
【God stick system】: No
[Eating Watermelon System]: Okay then... Well, I want to ask you, do you still remember what the Werewolf Rogue Card you gave out does? I think I've met another host...
【Apocalypse Survival System】: ??? Another one?
[Seducing System]: Do you know something, old man?
[Apocalypse Survival System]: [Angry] I told you not to call me Lao Mo!
【Shen Gun System】: If you have any trouble
【Apocalypse Survival System】: ...
【Apocalypse Survival System】: I suggest we all be quiet and wait for the charlatan to finish speaking
Lu Zixi waited for at least a quarter of an hour before the long paragraph from the divine system finally arrived.
[God-like System]: My apologies, I've been working on a red envelope that adds a slowing debuff to the enemy host's system, kind of like the Frost Watermelon in that Plants & Zombies game. I tried it out on myself and it was pretty cool. [Smile] If anyone laughs at my slowness again, I'll give you a system-based one! Anyway, back to business, Melon, long time no see! I still have the Werewolf cards in my database, but since I moved away from Werewolf as a main focus, I haven't updated them anymore. The Rogue cards are even more marginal, having only updated them for one generation. Unlike human board games, I can't set up two more cards to choose from, so it simply takes the ID card of the nearest person, with the side effect of being able to use them anytime you want. So, if the closest host is a civilian, the host will only get the civilian's card. Since it was so useless, I quickly put it aside. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?
[Eating Watermelon System]: In other words, in theory, there is no host holding a thief card, because it will be used after it is taken apart, is that right?
【Shen Gun System】: Yes
【Eating Watermelon System】: But my host encountered such a person today, the host holding the thief card
【Shengun System】:?
【Godstick System】: Impossible
[Eating Watermelon System]: Besides you, are there any other systems that study the Werewolf card game?
【God stick system】: No
Lu Zixi waited patiently for a long time, confirming that the divine stick system meant no, and was not going to respond with an "I don't know", before replying -
[Eating Watermelon System]: Do you have any guesses about this phenomenon?
This time, the Shengun system was silent for a long time before replying with one word.
【Shen Gun System】; None
【Apocalypse Survival System】: I have a guess...
[Apocalypse Survival System]: On the premise of eliminating bugs, according to the charlatan, this red envelope can be used immediately after it is opened, and it will take the identity card of the nearest person. If the card is taken successfully, the thief card will disappear and be converted into the identity card of the person who took it. So can we guess that if the card fails, the thief card will continue to exist?
【Sage System】:!
[Apocalypse Survival System]: However, we do not know under what circumstances the scheme will fail and what the consequences of the failure will be.
After a long while, the charlatan system sent another long paragraph of text.
[Shengun System]: I just checked with other systems that received this red envelope from me. In most of these systems, the host instantly took the card of someone on the same side as them. Nothing changed in the host's body at all, effectively creating a duplicate of the civilian card. However, there were exceptions. One host, originally a good character, took the werewolf card. More crucially, the card they took was the leader of the "bad" team, resulting in a soul swap between the good and evil bosses. In theory, the copying shouldn't fail; if it were to fail, it would likely only fail during the "swap" phase. Of course, there haven't been any cases of failed swaps.
[Apocalypse Survival System]: I'd like to point out that you missed a point. All cards require eye contact. This means that to swap or copy a card, your host must be able to see someone. What if the host is alone? What's the closest thing to them?
【Melon-eating system】: ...It’s a system.
[Apocalypse Survival System]: Yes, it's a system. There haven't been any cases of failed human soul swaps, but no one has reported this to the charlatans. What happens if the host is alone, with no one around to monitor their system's use of red envelopes?
[Melon-eating System]: Will the system and the host...interchange?
【Shengun System】: I don’t know
【Apocalypse Survival System】: What will happen if the exchange fails?
[Flirting System]: That's the problem... Hey, your analytical skills have improved! Did you change the plugin?
[Apocalypse Survival System]: Get lost! I've always been efficient, okay?! The one who screwed me over was the host! The one who screwed over the host even more!
The group continued to argue lively, while Lu Zixi sat outside the screen, holding his phone in his hand, a little dazed.
"Old Yan," he nudged Yan Yunzhen with his arm and asked quietly while the cameras were away, "Although I know this is difficult... do you have a way to investigate Fu Ruixing's growth process since birth? I want to know if there is anything wrong."
