Just as the two were about to reach the perimeter of the Thatched Huts, they discovered that the other Players had already gathered together, seemingly waiting specifically for them.
However, their expressions were solemn, carrying a hint of hostility.
It was as if Yi Mo and Pikachu were the Werewolves themselves.
Before they could even speak, Taoqimao ran over in a panic.
She looked at Yi Mo, hesitated for a moment, and then grabbed his hand.
“Brother Shiba Daye… the Prophet has come out…”
“He said Pikachu is a Werewolf…”
Chapter Forty-Four: The Prophet
Yi Mo was stunned by the news.
Before he could say anything, Pikachu beside him had already exploded in rage.
She glared intently at Taoqimao and roared at her, “Damn it, you bitch! Who are you calling a Werewolf!”
“I think you’re the Werewolf here!!!”
“All you know how to do is play the victim and cry all day long. Now that four people are dead, you’ve finally decided to show your face, haven’t you?”
“See if I don’t beat you to death!!”
As Pikachu spoke, she no longer cared about the Game Rules.
She reached out her hand, intending to slap Taoqimao.
Taoqimao was so frightened that the corners of her eyes grew moist again.
She instinctively leaned toward Yi Mo, hiding herself in his arms, and explained with a lack of confidence, “Sister Pikachu… it wasn’t me… I wasn’t the one who said it!”
“It was… the Prophet who said you were a Werewolf…”
“Ugh…”
One had to remember that attacking other Players was not allowed during the day in this game.
If the rule was violated, there would certainly be a corresponding punishment.
Yi Mo did not want to see Pikachu directly erased by the System, so he immediately pulled Taoqimao back a few steps and said to Pikachu, “Calm down! Calm down!”
“Don’t violate the Game Rules!”
Seeing Yi Mo actually protecting Taoqimao, Pikachu’s anger did not dissipate; instead, it grew even stronger.
Her fist was raised high as she looked at the two of them, her face somewhat contorted.
Ultimately, she did not strike.
She turned and walked toward Baiduren and the others.
With an air of being ready for a massive fight, she roared at them, “Damn it! Which Werewolf is claiming to be the Prophet!”
“Come out and face me! See if I don’t beat the life out of you!!”
“I am a Villager! I’m a good person!!!”
“You bunch of idiots!”
Pikachu looked at everyone present, one by one.
Dieyu did not look at her, instead staring at Yi Mo and Taoqimao.
The Ordinary Girl Village Chief didn’t seem to have much interest either.
She yawned and moved to the side, distancing herself from everyone else.
Unrivaled wanted to step forward and act tough, but seeing Pikachu’s fist—which was the size of a sandbag—and recalling his experience of being ruthlessly slapped in the face by Yi Mo over the past two days, he felt his face ache even now.
He pulled back his neck, whistled, and took a few steps back.
He adopted an air of ‘it’s none of my business.’
Hah, Unrivaled had figured it out.
Whoever stood out to act smug now was the real idiot!
On the contrary, Baiduren looked straight at Pikachu, showing no intention of looking away.
Pikachu and Baiduren’s gazes locked.
She frowned and ground her teeth, walking toward him in a rage.
She grabbed his collar and barked, “You heartless bastard, was it you!”
“Was it you who said I was a Wolf!!!”
“You were acting like you didn’t know anything before, making me think you weren’t a Wolf!”
“After all that, you really are that idiot with the Chain Witch card, aren’t you!!!”
“Damn it, you waited until I wasn’t around to call everyone over just to get me out!!!”
“Even if I’m eliminated, I’ll definitely kill you!”
“I’ll definitely kill you!!”
Baiduren did not fight back.
He held both hands out to show he wouldn’t resist, then tapped the bridge of his nose and said calmly, “I don’t know if you’re a Werewolf or not, but you’re certainly stupid.”
“I am not the Prophet, nor am I the Witch, nor am I a Lover or a Werewolf.”
“Cthulhu found us after the rain stopped and said he is the Prophet.”
Pikachu shot a deep look at Baiduren, her hostility completely undisguised.
She loosened her grip slightly and looked at Cthulhu, who was standing calmly 5 meters behind Baiduren.
The fury in her eyes had seemingly turned into tangible flames, wanting to completely envelop him and burn him to ashes!
“You… said I… am a Werewolf?!!!”
Pikachu spoke every word through gritted teeth.
Her voice was very loud, like that of a fierce general.
Her sheer aura alone was enough to make an average person flinch.
Cthulhu instinctively took two steps back upon hearing her.
His expression looked a bit troubled, and his tone weakened as he said, “I am the Prophet. On the first day, I checked Baiduren. He’s a good person.”
“On the second day, I checked you. The result was… was a Werewolf!”
His voice rose slightly.
“I know you probably didn’t want to be a Werewolf.”
“But there’s nothing that can be done. It’s all assigned by the Game System.”
“However, as the Prophet and a good person, I was afraid of dying these past two days, so I didn’t dare come out.”
“There aren’t many people left now. Since I’ve discovered a Werewolf at this time, I must stand up and tell everyone!”
“You, Pikachu, are a Werewolf!”
“Everyone, you must vote this Werewolf out today!”
Pikachu grew even angrier upon hearing this and roared at Cthulhu, “Nonsense!”
“I am a good person! You’re clearly the Werewolf! You’re claiming to be the Prophet just to get me out!”
After finishing, Pikachu looked at everyone present and yelled, “Are you all idiots?”
“You’re believing whatever he says!!!”
“What has he been doing these past few days?”
“He didn’t dare speak at all, acting like some kind of nice guy!”
“Now it’s the third day and his Wolf tail is finally showing, and you believe him???”
“You believe him!!!?”
“No wonder Shiba Daye told me Cthulhu looked like a Wolf!”
“Damn it, he really is a Werewolf!!!”
“Vote him out today!”
Pikachu’s shouting didn’t achieve a good effect; instead, it caused the others to distance themselves from her even further.
Baiduren showed no fear.
Tapping the bridge of his nose, he said, “Pikachu, it’s only natural that we believe him.”
“It’s already the third day, and no other Prophet has come forward.”
“While you and Shiba Daye were away, everyone else present confirmed their identities. None of them are the Prophet.”
“Shiba Daye is the Hunter, not the Prophet.”
“The deceased Conan and Great Emperor Zhenwu were certainly not the Prophet.”
“The identities of Qian Laoban and Old Six Du are unknown. If Cthulhu is a fake, the Prophet would have to be one of them.”
“The probability exists, but it’s not high.”
“Cthulhu has been very humble and cautious these days, which fits the profile of a Prophet who’s afraid of dying and wants to confirm more people’s identities.”
“Pikachu, doesn’t your current violent behavior look exactly like a Wolf?”
Upon hearing this, Pikachu suddenly swung a fist, striking Baiduren directly on the nose.
Thud!
With a sound loud enough for everyone around to hear clearly, the fairly sturdy-looking Baiduren was actually knocked back 2 meters.
He tumbled to the ground, blood immediately streaming from his nose.
Pikachu heard the System notification that her Points had been deducted.
She saw that her Points were already low, but she still continued toward Baiduren, pinning him to the ground and roaring at him, “I think you two are clearly in league!!!”
“You’re two Werewolves!!!”
“See if I don’t beat the life out of you!!”
Seeing this, Cthulhu didn’t step in to stop them.
He only tried to persuade her from where he stood.
“Stop fighting. Even if you’re a Werewolf, there’s nothing you can do once you’ve been discovered and voted out.”
“There are still a few hours left. Why don’t you reconsider and reveal your teammates? Maybe we won’t vote for you today!”
Pikachu looked at the hypocritical Cthulhu nearby, then looked down at the extremely rational and expressionless Baiduren beneath her.
“Tell me, are you in league with Cthulhu!”
“The two of you are Wolves!”
“Otherwise, with your brain, don’t tell me you can’t see that Werewolf is lying!”
After landing that one punch on Baiduren, some of Pikachu’s anger was vented.
Noticing her remaining Points were low, she calmed down significantly.
She stared directly at Baiduren, trying to see through him.
Baiduren’s expression remained unchanged.
He pulled a handkerchief from his suit jacket pocket and wiped the blood from his nose.
“I believe there is a high probability that you are a Barbed Werewolf hiding beside the Hunter.”
“Furthermore, someone can prove you are a Werewolf.”
Pikachu was stunned.
She immediately asked seriously, “Who is it!”
“I’m not a Wolf at all! I haven’t done anything! How could anyone prove I’m a Wolf???”
“Isn’t this total nonsense!”
Baiduren replied, “Unrivaled.”
Unrivaled was recognized as the person with the fewest principles in this game.
He would be incredibly arrogant the moment he had even a slight advantage, but would instantly turn into a sycophant the moment his opponent showed strength.
Because he was so unprincipled, had such a poor personality, and acted like a clown all day, people actually felt he didn’t seem like a Wolf.
Hearing this, Pikachu ignored Baiduren and looked toward Unrivaled.
Her gaze was like a sword, making Unrivaled shiver.
He instinctively hunched his shoulders, not wanting to talk to her.
“You… say I’m a Wolf? You’ll prove it?”
Being stared down by Pikachu, Unrivaled knew he had to face her no matter what.
He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.
He actually took a step forward and looked Pikachu in the eye.
“That’s right! You’re definitely a Werewolf!”
“Conan said he was the Hunter and then didn’t fire his gun!”
“Then he was definitely a Werewolf without a doubt!”
“Yesterday, you, Conan, and Great Emperor Zhenwu were the closest!”
“I saw Great Emperor Zhenwu looking for you in a panic. He stayed in your room for a long time before you two went out to find Conan together.”
“Then the three of you talked for ages!”
“You wouldn’t even let us get close!”
“After hearing Cthulhu’s words today, it all makes sense!”
“The two of you Werewolves conspired to deceive Great Emperor Zhenwu alone!”
“In the end, you actually tricked his identity out of him and then killed him last night!”
“You… are so cold-hearted!!!”
“And to think Great Emperor Zhenwu trusted you so much!”
As Unrivaled spoke, he even rubbed his eyes, pretending to be bullied and pained for Great Emperor Zhenwu, looking as if he were about to cry.
However, he had no actual intention of crying.
It was incredibly fake.
Most people noticed his small movements of occasionally peeking at Pikachu.
Pikachu was completely stunned.
Yesterday, Great Emperor Zhenwu had indeed come to find her.
But that was because his identity had been discovered by Conan and Shiba Daye.
He regretted what he had said and went to her to complain.
Afterward, the two of them went to find Conan together, but that was mainly because Pikachu suspected Conan was a Wolf, so she had taken Great Emperor Zhenwu to confront him.
