This is…
Did it just reject me???
Big Brother, say something!
To be honest, Shiba Daye has been sulking the past few days, so it’s not like you could glean much extra information from his expression alone.
Sure, he was gloomy, but at least he still had some human presence.
But today?
Damn.
It’s like a color photo suddenly turned into a black-and-white sulk-fest. Isn’t that terrifying???
Just as Cthulhu was at a loss for what to say, Unrivaled—who had already gotten used to Yi Mo’s sulky face—stepped forward and quickly said, “Big Brother, the situation is critical now!”
“Cthulhu is the real Prophet! Taoqimao is a Werewolf!”
“Victory is right in front of us. This is the last push.”
“Taoqimao should still be Lovers. Big Brother, don’t go against Cthulhu today. Let’s all vote for Taoqimao!”
“Surviving is what matters!”
Unrivaled’s plea was sincere this time, without his usual rogue attitude.
Yi Mo nodded and said, “Let’s go. Find a less crowded place. We’ll talk alone.”
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced sideways at Dieyu, who was lying nearby staring at him.
It was obvious he didn’t want Dieyu to hear their conversation.
This made Dieyu pout with a resentful look, her lips pressed together.
Cthulhu and Unrivaled quickly nodded in agreement, then followed Shiba Daye to the Public Thatched Hut.
And just like that, only Dieyu, dressed up beautifully, was left lying on the Round Table spacing out.
About 30 minutes later, Ordinary Maiden Village Chief and Baiduren also returned.
Their situation was somewhat similar to Dieyu and Yi Mo’s.
Both came back one after the other, but Ordinary Maiden Village Chief’s expression wasn’t as bad as Shiba Daye’s.
There was even a hint of cheerfulness in her eyes.
She carried a small bundle, swayed as she walked to the Round Table, tossed the bundle onto the table, stretched lazily, bathed in the sunset, looking somewhat relaxed.
Baiduren, on the other hand, didn’t look so great.
He had lost his usual calm, his lips occasionally twitching.
He walked over to Dieyu, stood beside her, and said quietly, “Find a place to talk?”
Dieyu looked listless and nodded. “Looks like you didn’t have a smooth day either~”
“Let’s go.”
With that, the two left together.
Now only Ordinary Maiden Village Chief remained at the Round Table.
She opened the small bundle, and inside were all wild fruits, looking quite appetizing.
With no one around, a glimmer of joy flashed in Ordinary Maiden Village Chief’s eyes as she slightly curled her lips.
She picked one, didn’t bother to check if it was clean or dirty, rubbed it on her sportswear, and tossed it into her mouth.
“Heh… scheming back and forth every day.”
“So boring.”
She seemed utterly dismissive of everyone, but in the next second, her face darkened, and she frowned.
“Ugh… so sour!”
***
Behind a Thatched Hut, Dieyu leaned against the wall, looking confident.
Baiduren frowned slightly and said nervously, “That Village Chief Girl is way too clever. I’ve been played for a fool all day.”
“I thought she would be up to something, but she didn’t do anything meaningful.”
“She spent the whole day just enjoying herself, treating me like a servant, bossing me around and cursing at me…”
“Damn it!”
“If I could, I’d kill her with my own hands!”
Dieyu found Baiduren’s reaction amusing and chuckled, “I told you, just follow her to see if she makes any moves. And make sure she doesn’t contact Shiba Daye.”
“But you didn’t listen and went to approach her yourself.”
Baiduren shook his head, rubbing his nose with a bitter smile.
“She found me…”
“I’m really curious what kind of loss you suffered to make you so scared of her.”
Upon hearing this, Dieyu’s expression turned unpleasant, her eyes filled with malice.
“You don’t need to know.”
“But she has to die in this game!”
***
Dieyu first met Ordinary Maiden Village Chief on the second day of the game.
It happened while Yi Mo was asleep.
Dieyu was walking alone along the Small Stream toward the Thatched Hut in the village.
At the source of the stream, she happened to see Ordinary Maiden Village Chief sitting on a round stone, soaking her feet in the stream water.
Out of habit, she struck up a conversation: “Hey, adorable Village Chief, the stream water feels nice, right~”
“Can I sit with you for a bit?”
Dieyu bent over, her face beaming with a bright smile.
Ordinary Maiden Village Chief’s face darkened, her eyes full of disgust.
“No.”
“Don’t bother me.”
Far from being annoyed, Dieyu became even more intrigued.
She walked toward the Village Chief Girl, wearing a gentle and kind smile, and said softly, “Dear Village Chief, don’t shut everyone out so quickly~”
“This game is a voting game. If you don’t get close to anyone, you might get voted out during the day.”
Ordinary Maiden Village Chief turned her head to look at Dieyu, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
“Lumu’er, if I die, I’ll take Taoqimao down with me with my gun.”
Dieyu froze, murderous intent flashing in her eyes for an instant before she suppressed it.
She pretended not to understand, covering her mouth with one hand and asking, puzzled, “What… are you saying?”
“Are you the Hunter?”
“But Mr. Shiba Daye claims to be the Hunter.”
Though her mouth said that, Dieyu’s heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down.
What unsettled her wasn’t that Ordinary Maiden Village Chief claimed to be the Hunter, nor that she said she would shoot Taoqimao after death.
It was…
She actually knew her real name!!!
She had changed her appearance—how could she know her real name?
In the Death Game, having your real face or real name known was extremely dangerous.
Not to mention she was a fairly famous actress and model!
She absolutely… could not be allowed to live!
Ordinary Maiden Village Chief let out a “tch” and said, “No need to put on an act in front of me.”
“Are you thinking you have to kill me?”
“Hehehe… You’re not qualified.”
“No one in this game is qualified.”
“Lumu’er, your… chest… seems like it wasn’t this big on the outside, was it?”
“How boring. You’ve turned the Death Game into some porn game.”
“Only those self-righteous, wannabe-cool, brain-dead Chuunibyou would play house with you.”
Dieyu’s face instantly changed.
She couldn’t hold it together anymore.
The murderous intent in her eyes fully exposed as she said, “Even if you are the Hunter, if I kill you, you still won’t win.”
“The Victory Reward from a game win isn’t shared with dead players.”
“And you might not even be the Hunter!!!”
“What gives you the right to threaten me?”
“Because you’re not afraid to die?”
In the real world, her chest really wasn’t that big—at most barely a B cup.
Logically, using Points to enlarge her real appearance wouldn’t cost much.
But.
She was a model and actress with some fame.
If her chest suddenly got bigger, the media would go crazy, saying she got a boob job.
So she could only enjoy the joy of a big chest in the game.
Now that Ordinary Maiden Village Chief not only knew her real name but also mocked her most sensitive point, Dieyu couldn’t hold back anymore.
She dropped the act and fired back.
But Ordinary Maiden Village Chief didn’t care at all.
She directly pulled out a golden, glittering card: “Because I have an SSR Card. If I die in the game, it puts me in a Fake Death State. As long as my camp wins within 24 hours, I can enjoy the Victory Reward.”
“So even if I die, I still have a chance to win.”
“But you’ll be buried with me.”
“Of course, you can also show a powerful Game Card.”
“But… do you have one?”
Dieyu carefully examined the card in Ordinary Maiden Village Chief’s hand.
The effect was exactly as she described.
She could only grit her teeth and say hatefully, “If you’re the last to die, even the Hunter can’t use their gun!”
Ordinary Maiden Village Chief nodded at that.
“Oh, that’s right!”
“But… is the Hunter me, or is it Shiba Daye?”
“Hehehe…”
“Don’t bother me. Go play house with those people.”
“It’s not your turn yet, nor mine.”
“I’m too lazy to play along with your scheming.”
Of course, Dieyu wouldn’t tell Baiduren about such an embarrassing encounter.
Besides, she still wasn’t sure whether Ordinary Maiden Village Chief was the Hunter or Shiba Daye was.
Shiba Daye had a Hunting Rifle that perfectly fit this game.
The way he acted cocky every day did make him look like the Hunter.
As for Ordinary Maiden Village Chief?
She wasn’t afraid of Shiba Daye at all, didn’t contact anyone, and just stirred the pot.
She voted for Shiba Daye every day and could sit on the gun claim.
Dieyu was from the Third Party Faction, meaning she had to kill all players from other camps.
If she misjudged whether Shiba Daye or Ordinary Maiden Village Chief was the Hunter and the Hunter got eliminated first, she’d be doomed.
Unless the Hunter’s shot after death didn’t take out a Third Party Faction player.
But at this point, it was practically an open hand.
It was still uncertain whether Cthulhu and Unrivaled could fully identify all three members of the Third Party Faction.
But Ordinary Maiden Village Chief and Shiba Daye definitely knew.
“Still, today we’ll get Cthulhu out first.”
“It’s not someone else’s turn yet.”
Baiduren frowned.
“Why are you so confident? Our situation is very dangerous right now.”
“If Cthulhu, Shiba Daye, Unrivaled, and Ordinary Maiden Village Chief all team up, we’re done for!”
“Or if the Village Chief Girl still votes for Shiba Daye while the other three unite, we’ll still be out!”
“Did you actually get Shiba Daye’s vote?”
Dieyu shook her head, then suddenly curled her lips, her eyes glinting with amusement.
“No. In fact, I’d say it was a total failure. He completely ignored me.”
Baiduren: “Then why are you still so confident???”
“No, I’m going to claim Witch and say I saved Taoqimao, then try to win Unrivaled’s vote!”
