Chapter 68: All Lies

“You venomous woman! Today I’ll vote you out, you werewolf!”

Seeing that Unrivaled not only believed him but was also excited, Cthulhu felt extremely pleased and immediately struck while the iron was hot.

“That’s right, venomous!”

“Unrivaled, yesterday Pikachu was a werewolf!”

“This Taoqimao managed to vote out her own werewolf teammate, so she must be the lover role that’s been hiding!”

“She’s so heartless! That’s why Pikachu was so abnormal and angry yesterday!”

“To win for herself, she has such a poisonous heart!”

“She knew she couldn’t kill Pikachu at night, so she forced her out during the day!”

“The lover faction should have three people, and there are only seven players in this game.”

“The remaining good guys must unite completely.”

“Let’s hurry and find the other players. I can confront them face to face!”

“Once the Witch comes out, the truth will come to light!”

After hearing Cthulhu’s seemingly sincere words, Unrivaled was completely convinced.

He glared fiercely at Taoqimao, then ignored her and quickly followed Cthulhu to find the other players.

But…

Fifteen minutes later, both of them were stunned.

It was just barely past 6:30 in the morning.

Yet now, in the residential area of the entire village, there were only three people: Cthulhu, Unrivaled, and Taoqimao!

The other four—

Dieyu, Shiba Daye, Baiduren, and Ordinary Girl Village Chief.

Had somehow disappeared to who knows where!!!

***

A simple wooden rack was set up by the small lake behind the hill, with men’s athletic pants and short sleeves hanging out to dry.

Occasionally, a small droplet of water would drip down.

Yi Mo was currently soaking in the lake, his expression somewhat haggard.

He had leaned against the cupboard all night without sleeping.

His head was dizzy from the heavy rain, and his wet clothes made him uncomfortable.

Since there was nothing to do today, he had come early to this small lake where Dieyu had brought him before.

He washed his clothes, then went in to soak.

The lake water was cold, but that was fine—it helped Yi Mo clear his head.

Right now, he didn’t want to see anyone.

He just wanted to be alone.

But it seemed that wish wouldn’t come true.

Dieyu slowly emerged from the bushes, wearing a black gauze dress like a midnight spirit, exuding a hint of allure.

The neckline was a V-shape, revealing a half-moon of smooth, fair skin.

Today, she was actually wearing high heels.

She sat by the lake, on the round stone where Yi Mo had once slept face-down.

She took off her shoes, her small feet resting on the stone, and propped her chin as she looked at Yi Mo, whose expression was very awkward in the lake.

“Sorry, I was wrong yesterday.”

“I came to apologize. Can you forgive me?”

Dieyu bit her lip, her expression troubled.

Yi Mo simply turned his back to her, refusing to look.

Dieyu shook her head helplessly and explained, “You’re not the Prophet; I know that.”

“Pikachu really is a werewolf.”

“I promised to stand by you no matter what, but I did it to save you.”

“You know that if the game is lost, we’ll die.”

“I couldn’t let you keep making mistakes.”

“Forgive me. Today I won’t hide anything or vote recklessly. I’ll discuss everything with you.”

“Mr. Shiba Daye, okay?”

Yi Mo remained silent for three minutes, then without turning to look at Dieyu, said flatly, “I won’t believe a word you say.”

Dieyu’s brows furrowed slightly, and she clenched her fists.

“But you’ve been lying to me too.”

“Mr. Shiba Daye, you’re not being honest at all.”

“On the first and second days, you said you were the Hunter. Yesterday, you said you were the Prophet!”

“But are you really the Prophet?”

“I am the real Prophet. The day before yesterday, I checked Pikachu—she’s a werewolf.”

“So I had to vote for her.”

Yi Mo said coldly, “Yesterday’s check result.”

Dieyu quickly replied, “Yesterday I checked Cthulhu—he’s a werewolf!”

“He’s probably one of the lovers, most likely paired with Baiduren. I suspect Cupid is Ordinary Girl Village Chief.”

“Yesterday, to protect Baiduren, she actually shot you!”

“I was really worried about you!”

“Is your hand okay? Don’t soak the wound in the water; it’ll get infected!”

Dieyu’s tone carried a hint of concern and anxiety.

Yi Mo said indifferently, “If I win this game, the wound will heal naturally.”

“If I can’t win, what does a little injury matter?”

“You say Cthulhu is a werewolf, right?”

“Heh…”

“Since you’ve confessed your identity, I’ll tell you mine.”

“I’m the Witch.”

“The idiot Witch who didn’t save anyone for two nights and even poisoned one person.”

“Last night, Cthulhu died, and I used the Antidote to save him.”

“You say the Cthulhu who died at night is a werewolf?”

“Are you joking?”

“He’s the real Prophet. You’re the werewolf!”

Hearing this, Dieyu looked at Yi Mo’s back and fell into thought.

After a moment, she couldn’t help saying, “You’re lying again!”

“If you were the Witch, you wouldn’t have saved Cthulhu!”

Yi Mo snorted coldly.

“Hah… I changed my mind.”

“Rather than letting him be voted out, I now want you and your team out.”

“In the end, setting aside those ridiculous personal relationships, only players truly on the same side belong to one team.”

“As long as I survive, that’s enough.”

Dieyu bit her lip.

“Mr. Shiba Daye, you’ve changed!”

“Are you really so heartless as to let me be voted out?”

“You’d rather believe Cthulhu than trust me?”

“If you’re willing, I can give you everything I have to prove I’m innocent!”

“Let’s win this game together. After we get out, I’ll come find you, stay with you, make it up to you.”

“Isn’t that possible?”

Yi Mo shook his head.

“Go back.”

“Only one of the two of us can leave here alive.”

“Or we both lose this game and go to hell together.”

Seeing that Yi Mo was unmoved, Dieyu didn’t give up or leave.

Instead, she lay down on the stone, quietly studying Yi Mo’s back as it emerged from the lake water.

His skin was very pale, even paler than most girls’, which made Dieyu envious.

She even suspected that he might originally be a girl who changed his appearance to look like a boy.

He was really delicate and handsome.

Especially when he was serious, that eerie Blood Moon in his left pupil.

It seemed to have a magical pull, deeply attracting her.

She couldn’t help but want to get closer to him, to approach him.

To dig out all his secrets, to explore them all.

But right now, it felt like a dating game.

She was the player, and Shiba Daye was the one to be conquered.

She had chosen one wrong option, causing their relationship to spiral straight toward a bad ending.

The kind that couldn’t be explained no matter what.

But that’s okay.

The harder it was, the more interested Dieyu became, the more she wanted to touch him.

Was he really the Witch?

Dieyu wasn’t sure if it was true or false.

Shiba Daye might be the Witch, or he might be the Hunter.

But actually, that didn’t matter to Dieyu now.

Because today during the day, she would definitely get the majority of votes.

She knew better than anyone.

Even if Mr. Shiba Daye didn’t side with her, it didn’t matter.

“Hey, can I stay here with you?”

“I’m not at ease leaving you alone. I won’t talk anymore, just watch you quietly.”

“If you’re really angry, you can scold me a few times, and I’ll take it.”

“But think carefully about whether I’m really the Prophet.”

“I’m not in a hurry.”

“I did something wrong yesterday, so I deserve your treatment today.”

Dieyu pinched her small earlobe, leaning against the round stone, quietly watching Shiba Daye.

At that moment, Yi Mo was still in the lake, watching the sky gradually turn blue.

Watching the birds skim across the lake and circle among the trees.

Watching the occasional fish surface to breathe, blowing bubbles under the lake’s surface, creating ripples.

They slowly spread outward, then slowly disappeared without a trace.

Finally, he sighed and muttered in a voice only he could hear.

“All… lies…”

Up to now, that SSR+ card of his.

Was still in its unactivated state.
