Chapter 47: The Quota Competition (Part 4)
“Hmph, I told you Liu Tuhu had bad intentions all along. Whether he’s a werewolf or not, I’m still a good person. He’s just jealous of me and doesn’t want me to make it to the finals!”
Player B looked furious, yet there was a hint of schadenfreude in his expression. Look, everyone fell for Liu Tuhu’s trick!
Liu Tuhu lazily opened his eyes and sneered, “I did it on purpose. What are you going to do about it?”
The sound of cracking knuckles filled the air, fists clenched in anger—everyone’s fists were tight!
Damn, how could they have believed Liu Tuhu earlier? It’s over, it seems everyone has forgotten what Liu Tuhu was like when he played his first script, “The Past of Huai Tree Village,” a big villain, the mastermind, the boss. He played that role so convincingly, and now they’re believing him?
Everyone was livid, their stomachs churning with frustration.
“You… you lied to us!” Wan Niang also scolded him angrily.
The others couldn’t help but feel sympathy. They had just thought Liu Tuhu was genuinely trying to protect Wan Niang, but it turned out he had only used her as a shield, a way to make everyone believe him.
Wan Niang’s face turned red with fury.
Zhao Si coughed lightly, “Dead people don’t talk, show some professionalism!”
Liu Tuhu and Player B both turned their heads away and stopped speaking.
Another round of night fell, and when it was time to open their eyes, Zhao Si announced another player had been eliminated.
Hiss—there were only four lives left, and they didn’t even know how many werewolves were still in the game!
They had to be extra cautious now.
Just a moment ago, Liu Tuhu and Zhao Si had rambled on for a while, and no one could still figure out their identities—how frustrating!
No one had mentioned having an identity earlier—there had been no sign of the Priest, the Healer, or the Hunter!
Everyone felt uneasy. This round was tough. They had to use all their skills to figure out who among the remaining players was a werewolf.
In the end, the group exchanged looks, narrowing their eyes as they decided to vote out the quiet, reticent player. This person hadn’t said a word throughout, which was strange.
Could he be a newbie? But Wan Niang and Zhao Wen from the adjacent table had been verbally sparring with the rest of them. A newbie should have spoken up by now!
Unless there was another possibility—this person wasn’t just a newbie but a werewolf! Only under this circumstance would he sit there and claim he was a good person without offering any further explanations.
With that thought, everyone’s gazes hardened, and they voted to eliminate him.
Zhao Si exchanged a glance with the others and, without expression, announced, “The game continues.”
Hiss—this felt off. Let’s think this through.
If there were still two werewolves alive, and the person they just voted out was indeed a werewolf, then there was still one left among the remaining three players.
And the Hunter was probably still among them. After all, many players had been eliminated, but the Hunter’s ability hadn’t been triggered yet.
They could only hope the werewolves made a mistake tonight and attacked the Hunter. If the Hunter managed to retaliate, the good side would still have a chance to win!
No matter how they felt, Zhao Si remained expressionless as he announced, “Night falls, please close your eyes. Werewolves, close your eyes.”
At this moment, with Liu Tuhu’s massive form no longer blocking their view, the audience, even the noble guests in the second-floor private room, stood up to confirm who the werewolf was.
Meanwhile, Wan Niang, who had been brainstorming the whole time, opened her eyes.
A gentle smile spread across her face as she locked eyes with the audience, causing a collective gasp.
What?! Was Niang a werewolf? How did this happen?!
Listening to the commotion behind her, Liu Tuhu couldn’t help but smirk. This was his plan with Wan Niang—to blindside them all, hahahaha!
They wanted to target him, Liu Tuhu? Well, he wasn’t someone to be trifled with. With his acting skills, once he became a werewolf, it was like child’s play.
Even if he was eliminated in the first round, so what? He was a werewolf! Couldn’t he just self-destruct?
That’s right—he used his identity to gain the last bit of value. It wasn’t for the good side’s victory, but to protect Wan Niang, to clear the way for her to make it to the final round!
Hahahaha! Wang Qingmu, you’re nothing compared to this!
Liu Tuhu lost himself in his fantasy, imagining Wang Qingmu’s jealous, twisted expression, feeling triumphant, his smile stretching to the back of his ears.
Opposite him, Wan Niang looked at him with a helpless expression. However, Liu Tuhu had done so much for himself, and she was sure to seize every opportunity to win the game!
The Hunter, a pale young man, also heard the stir behind him, but he dared not make a judgment on who the werewolf was.
After all, at this critical juncture, it seemed like anyone who became a werewolf would stir the crowd, and the murmurs were growing louder.
“She… it’s her?”
“We’ve all been tricked!”
“That damn Liu Tuhu! I’ll never trust her again!”
The Hunter’s heart was in turmoil. Why did it feel like the remaining two players fit the crowd’s suspicions?
But before he could think further, Wan Niang had made her move.
She didn’t know who the Hunter was, but with only two good people left, she could kill anyone. There was a 50% chance of striking the Hunter. But even if she killed the Hunter, the game wouldn’t end since the Hunter could retaliate, leaving her with another 50% chance.
This meant that there was only a 25% chance of her being caught as a werewolf if she played her cards right. As long as her acting skills were up to par and she fooled the Hunter, she could still win the game!
With this thought, Wan Niang smiled, casually nodded at one player to indicate her decision, and then closed her eyes, preparing for the final moment.
Zhao Si had complicated feelings. Wan Niang, who had usually been a quiet character in the stories of Wang Qingmu and Liu Tuhu, turned out to be such a formidable player. He realized he shouldn’t mess with her—Spring Bud at home was far more adorable.
“Day breaks, please open your eyes. Wang Wu has died.”
Wang Wu, the Hunter, heard the news and, as expected, realized the game’s outcome rested on his choice.
It was win or lose, all up to him.
He opened his eyes, looking at Wan Niang and the other player.
Both of them looked terrified, even casting glances at each other as if saying, I can’t believe you’re the werewolf.
But Wang Wu observed closely. The male player kept glancing at him and then at Wan Niang, silently urging him to kill Wan Niang.
As for Wan Niang? She bit her lip, eyes brimming with tears, gazing at the Hunter with an expression full of shame as if she knew the game was about to end.
At this moment, Wang Wu understood everything.
Wan Niang was with him!
The male player was the werewolf!
Damn, he had been trying to trick him, making signals to eliminate his competition!
He couldn’t hesitate any longer!
Wang Wu decisively aimed his rifle at the male player, fired, and took him down, proudly walking toward… the path to defeat.
“I declare the third round of the game is over. Congratulations to the werewolf team for winning!”
“Damn! I didn’t expect Wan Niang to make it to the end. The werewolves are getting tougher and tougher!”
Wang Wu’s eyes widened as he looked at the now smiling Wan Niang. Did he still need any explanation?
He had been fooled, spun around like a fool!
His breath caught in his throat, and he collapsed, fainting from anger.
