Chapter 31: The Ancient Version of Werewolf (Part 2)

“What?”

Liu the butcher looked at Zhao Si in surprise. He didn’t expect, didn’t expect that there would still be someone who could see through appearances and understand that Old Liu was a good person?

Wang Bokao, however, had a clearer view. He gave Zhao Si an appreciative look and thought to himself that Zhao Si’s observation was probably right. Zhao Si must indeed be a commoner.

Zhao Si turned his head to look at the row across from him. He had a little scale in his heart and had been pondering it for a while.

When Su Li asked the doctor whether to save the person, there was a slight disturbance from the right side. Wu Fei was calm, and Er Tong wasn’t as jumpy as his master, but it was probably Wu Ming, the little monk, who couldn’t withstand the situation and made some noise. It was likely that he was the doctor.

Now, the three civilians with identities had already found two people: himself as the hunter, Wu Ming as the doctor, and one immortal master. He wasn’t in a hurry, figuring that someone would likely reveal themselves soon, and he would assess whether they were telling the truth.

As for Wu Fei, Er Tong, Wang Bokao, Liu the butcher, and Chun Ya, the earlier comment about thinking two people were good was purely superficial. All five of these people were suspicious, but Liu the butcher was likely a good person since he wouldn’t have been so determined to cause trouble from the start.

When Su Li asked the immortal master, Zhao Si could feel a slight disturbance coming from the far right, the sound of a chair scraping, indicating that person was from the good side. He ruled out the players on the right, leaving Wu Fei, who could not be a good person.

Zhao Si squinted and continued to smile. Now that he was certain about the bad person, he could go all out in accusing them.

He cleared his throat. “Everyone when the host asked the werewolves to open their eyes at the beginning, I vaguely felt some movement from across from me, like someone was pointing at someone. I think the werewolf might be Wu Fei, otherwise, why would he be the only one moving around while everyone else was sitting still?”

Wu Fei widened his eyes. What? Did this person cheat? I didn’t even move! How did he know I was the werewolf?

He glanced at Chun Ya subtly, but Chun Ya was just as confused, looking at Zhao Si with a blank expression.

Zhao Si thought Chun Ya admired him, but little did he know, that the first person to take his life was Chun Ya.

“Because it’s the first round, I don’t have any other information and I don’t want to make blind guesses. That’s all. Anyway, I’m a good person, and I suspect Wu Fei!”

With that, Zhao Si reset his hourglass and placed it in front of Chun Ya.

Chun Ya appeared confused, but inside, she had made up her mind: no, Zhao Si is too clever, he can’t be left alive! She was ready to go all out!

“Everyone, I… I have some identity, but I can’t reveal it for now. I can only say it’s very important.”

Chun Ya skillfully dodged the question, saying something that amounted to nothing.

She had heard her boss talk about this many times. Sometimes, to survive, you don’t have to disguise yourself as the “weakest” presence. You can also pretend to be someone with status.

For example, in the story, her boss told her, an assassin wanted to kill a big boss. It wasn’t enough to pretend to be a normal customer—he couldn’t get close to the boss at all. Only by pretending to be a very important guest could he be personally received by the big boss.

Now, she was going to play the part of that poor but important guest, pretending to be a good person with a certain status to intimidate others.

After all, a real good person with an identity, other than the immortal master, would not reveal themselves so quickly.

And she only exposed that she might have an identity but didn’t specify what it was. Wasn’t that just perfect? It left plenty of room for others to fill in the blanks and establish her as a good person.

Chun Ya smiled “shyly,” “My identity is quite important, but I can’t reveal it. I’m afraid the werewolves will kill me. I hope the doctor can protect me next time.”

“By the way, Zhao Si was lying earlier. When the werewolves acted in the first round, I heard some movement on my left, where Zhao Si was. Liu the butcher was constantly moving, and I find that very suspicious.”

“If he weren’t a werewolf, why couldn’t he just stay in his seat? Why did he keep making noises to disturb everyone? It’s suspicious.”

“What?” Liu the butcher’s eyes widened, and he slammed the table in anger, about to defend himself, but was struck on the head by Su Li.

“Not your turn, no talking.”

Liu the butcher glared at Chun Ya, furious. He was a good person! This Chun Ya was a werewolf, slandering him!

Chun Ya patted her chest, pretending to be frightened, her eyes reddened as she said timidly, “I… I don’t know, I was just guessing. I… I’m done.”

Her acting was flawless, truly a master at it, no wonder she was the first NPC in the Western Pavilion script store.

Except for the wronged Liu the butcher and the person who knew the truth, Wu Fei, everyone else felt sorry for Chun Ya, caught between two bad people. It was truly brave of her to speak up. Even Zhao Si thought that Chun Ya was probably just scared and made a wild guess. It would be awkward to accuse others, so she could only suspect herself.

In Zhao Si’s mind, this wasn’t suspicion—it was trust! Trust in his team!

His heart was instantly filled with warmth as he looked at Chun Ya more and more gently.

Next was the furious Liu the butcher’s turn. “Oh no—now I seriously suspect that Chun Ya is the bad guy! How dare she suspect me!”

Zhao Si shot him a glare.

“I, Liu, walk the earth with integrity, never done a single bad deed! How dare she say I’m a werewolf?”

“Hmph, everyone, we’ll vote for her next round!” (Shoots another glare.)

“By the way, I want to protect someone next! That little guy, Wu Ming. I listened closely, and he’s the doctor, a good person!”

Oh, poor Wu Ming, being sold so quickly.

Wu Fei sympathetically looked at Wu Ming. His actions had already sealed his fate, and now that Liu the butcher had revealed his identity, he had no choice but to kill him. Otherwise, every night would be in vain, and he’d be left on edge. Sigh.

It was Wang Bokao’s turn. He smiled indifferently and said, “I’m the immortal master. On the first night, I verified Liu the butcher. He is a good person!”

Liu the butcher turned to look at him with tear-filled eyes. Though he couldn’t speak, his gaze was sincere. He patted his chest, almost bowing down on the spot.

Wang Bokao continued, “I’m certain Liu the butcher is a good person, and I’ll protect the people he protects. That means Chun Ya, who said he’s a bad person, must have some issues. Everyone, let’s vote for Chun Ya this round.”

Soon, it was Er Tong’s turn… and Er Tong agreed with Young Master’s words.

The hourglass soon made its way to Wu Ming, who looked nervously at everyone.

“I… I’m the doctor, Liu Uncle was right.”

?

What did you just say? Who’s the uncle?

Wu Ming was startled by Liu the butcher’s furious glare and subconsciously tugged at Wu Fei’s sleeve. He hesitated, then said slowly, “I’m the doctor. Last night, I saved someone. Zhao Si was attacked by the werewolves, and I saved him.”

Wu Fei smiled faintly and patted Wu Ming’s head, but his eyes were filled with dark thoughts, already carrying a hidden “kill” intent.

Wu Ming, to reward you, even your senior brother can no longer protect you.
