Chapter 21

“I’m definitely not giving you my vote. You want to be Village Chief?”

“Wait until 9:00 PM!”

At 9:00 PM, the system would automatically end the voting period.

Yi Mo didn’t continue chasing the conversation.

He simply felt this girl was interesting.

It was as if she weren’t playing a Death Game, but a normal game instead.

After standing up, he scanned the people around him.

When he looked at Dieyu, he felt her somewhat resentful gaze and couldn’t help but shake his head.

This was the first time he had been looked at like that by a beautiful girl.

He didn’t dwell on it and clapped his hands.

“Everyone, since you’ve accepted me as the Village Chief, I’ll take responsibility and find the Werewolves.”

“Now, don’t be in such a hurry to explore the Village. Why don’t we sit down and let those who haven’t spoken much introduce themselves?”

Following Yi Mo’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Under his leadership, they headed toward the circular table in the center of the Village.

The circular table looked a bit like a conference table, but there were differences.

It was made of solid brown wood and looked very artistic.

There was a diameter the size of half a basketball court left empty in the center, allowing people to walk inside.

However, no one seemed willing to enter.

This was because the stone platform in the center and a copper pillar nearby looked like instruments of torture used to punish criminals, or rather, to deal with Werewolves.

This… was a Judgment Ground!

For some reason, Yi Mo subconsciously thought of Joan of Arc.

Framed, then burned alive at the execution ground.

He stared at the copper pillar, thinking to himself.

I wonder how many people executed here later will actually be those who held a Werewolf card?

Or, even if they held a Werewolf card, should they be put to death like this?

Yi Mo thought not!

This was absolutely abnormal, even insane!

But…

A red light flashed in the eyes hidden beneath Yi Mo’s fragmented bangs.

I will definitely not let anyone kill me!

Compassion did not mean he would sacrifice himself.

Yi Mo never considered himself a good person.

Or rather, a so-called good person was only a relative term.

It depended on who you were good to!

As everyone took their seats, they waited for Yi Mo to speak first.

Yi Mo nodded and looked around.

Finally, he looked at Ordinary Maiden.

After a moment of thought, he pointed at her and said,

“Ordinary Maiden, do you want to introduce yourself?”

Hearing this, Ordinary Maiden, the current Village Chief, glared at Yi Mo.

“Tch, you damn arrogant, gloomy man. Who are you calling ordinary?”

“You’re exactly the type I hate the most.”

“Heh… though the others don’t look like much either. Everyone’s about the same.”

“I’m a 16-year-old Village Chief, a shut-in, and an otaku. But unlike a certain someone, I’m not a piece of trash.”

“Hmph… my specialty is hacking. If someone annoys me online, I hack their computer.”

As Ordinary Maiden finished her self-introduction, everyone fell silent.

This…

For some reason, compared to her, did Shiba Daye actually seem to have a decent personality?

Yes, such an illusion had been created.

There was truly no comparison without a gap.

It made Old Six Du unsure of how to smooth things over.

He even felt that Shiba Daye and Ordinary Maiden, both with their gloomy dead-relative faces, were actually quite a good match.

Of course, he would never say that aloud.

After Ordinary Maiden finished, Yi Mo actually nodded.

Well, she’s certainly more impressive than me!

Hacking computers was quite powerful, wasn’t it?

When Yi Mo encountered internet trolls, he usually just looked at them and used a bit of Ah Q spiritual victory logic.

It was actually quite helpless and sad.

After she finished, he pointed at the arrogant-looking girl, Pikachu.

“Introduce yourself.”

Hearing this, Pikachu stood up with her hands on her hips.

“Pikachu, 25 years old, restaurant owner. Hobby: handsome guys.”

She then glanced at Yi Mo.

“Shiba Daye, even though you do look quite good by my standards, you’re way too gloomy. You’re not my type.”

Hearing Pikachu’s self-important words, Unrivaled couldn’t help but laugh.

“Haha… haha!”

“That’s hilarious… You really think you’re some legendary beau—”

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body for some reason.

He instantly froze.

Following his instincts, he turned his head and noticed Yi Mo watching him with a cold gaze.

Pikachu was also looking at him angrily, even beginning to curse him out.

“Uh… Big Brother…”

Unrivaled felt like he could still be saved.

Perhaps he could get a heal.

“You’re done. Shut up,” Yi Mo directly issued his death notice.

Then, he turned to Pikachu and said,

“Continue. I don’t like my type either, but this personality can’t be changed. My apologies.”

Hearing this, Pikachu looked closely at Yi Mo.

She suddenly felt that if she squinted a bit, he was actually quite handsome, especially when he was shutting down Unrivaled.

He had quite a bit of masculinity, didn’t he?

She felt like he was viable again.

Her face suddenly flushed, and she grew fidgety.

“That… um… this is my second Death Game. I’ve played Werewolf Kill before, but I wasn’t good at it and just ended up arguing with people, so I deleted it!”

“That… that’s it!”

After saying that, Pikachu hurriedly sat down!

At this moment, Yi Mo slapped his forehead, feeling like he shouldn’t have let her introduce herself.

But internally, he felt the decision wasn’t bad.

Because during the voting phase, he felt he could secure Pikachu’s vote!

Voting rights were the capital of this game during the day!

The next person to introduce himself was Cthulhu, a refined young man.

Yi Mo remembered very clearly that when Unrivaled started attacking him, this man was the first one to subtly chime in!

“Cthulhu. This is my second Death Game. I don’t have any special skills; I’m just an office worker, clerical type.”

“Let me state this first: I pulled a Villager card.”

It was a very simple introduction.

He stood up properly, bowed first, and spoke with a very respectful and polite tone.

But because of this, he lacked any distinguishing features.

Among the crowd earlier, he had been quite inconspicuous.

That was why Yi Mo had asked him to introduce himself to gain some understanding.

However, he didn’t obtain any extra information.

Yi Mo said,

“If everyone just gives a standard introduction, it’ll be boring. Let’s just communicate more and get to know each other slowly.”

“However, there is still one person who hasn’t spoken a word. The friend standing behind everyone, would you like to come out and introduce yourself?”

Following Yi Mo’s words, a boy even more inconspicuous than Cthulhu stood up.

He was less than five feet seven inches tall, had a bowl cut, and wore glasses as thick as bottle caps that covered half his face.

He was dressed in jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt.

“I am Conan. This is my fifth Death Game. I’m a college junior and the president of a tabletop game club.”

He adjusted the frame of his glasses, causing a white glint to flash across the lenses.

“I am a veteran Werewolf Kill player with experience in over 3,000 games, both offline and online.”

Information.

Claiming: In Werewolf Kill, stating what your hidden card is is referred to as claiming.

Claiming you are a Villager is claiming Villager.

Saying you are the Hunter is claiming gun or claiming Hunter.

Saying you are the Prophet is claiming Prophet.

Yi Mo’s behavior was claiming Hunter.

***

To be honest, just his nickname alone made people feel he was quite powerful, didn’t it?

The surrounding players immediately turned their gazes toward him, sizing him up.

Yi Mo was also quite interested.

He said to him,

“So you’re an expert. My apologies!”

“Then, Comrade Conan, tell us, who looks like a Werewolf right now?”

Hearing this, Conan stepped forward.

“The game has only just begun. It’s too early to talk about who looks like a Werewolf.”

After saying that, he specifically glanced at Qian Laoban, who had used a game card to verify Yi Mo’s identity.

In Conan’s view, there was a high probability that Qian Laoban and Yi Mo were Werewolves.

He couldn’t rule out the possibility that both of them were.

When Yi Mo was being suspected, Qian Laoban had specifically come forward to verify his identity.

As for why the real Hunter didn’t come out, Conan believed it was normal not to reveal oneself so early to avoid becoming the center of attention.

After all, the Werewolves knew who their teammates were, while the good people did not.

Being able to support teammates during the voting phase was a natural advantage for the Werewolves.

“Everyone, this Cupid Thief Variant Werewolf Kill setup is slightly more complex.”

“It’s only the first day. Since Shiba Daye has come out as the Hunter, the other God Positions should stay hidden. Don’t expose your identities.”

“Especially the Prophet. You can learn whether one player is a good person or a Werewolf each night. You are the identity the Werewolves will choose to kill first.”

“If you verify a good person tonight, you can contact that person privately and tell them your identity to prevent the Werewolves from impersonating the Prophet after your unexpected death.”

“If you verify a Werewolf, I suggest enduring for one more day. The chances of being found and killed by the Werewolves among so many people aren’t that high.”

“Come out after two more nights. Let the good people you already know take the lead to drag the Werewolves out!”

“The Witch can save a killed player at night or poison a player.”

“I saw in the description that it doesn’t say the Witch can’t save themselves.”

“I suggest the Witch shouldn’t be selfish. You must use your potion to save someone tonight.”

“After all, in a Death Game, I don’t think a Werewolf would commit suicide just to trick a Witch who won’t come out to testify for them.”

“Cupid can make two players a couple, but he himself doesn’t belong to the God cards or Villager cards.”

“The Werewolves won’t kill him, so he can come out and tell everyone his identity.”

“This can also ensure his own safety and help everyone narrow down the targets when searching for Werewolves.”

“As for the Thief, I suggest you also come out and state which two identity cards you were assigned, which one you chose, and which one was discarded.”

“If you don’t come out by then, I will default to the assumption that the Thief didn’t do anything good and took a Werewolf card!”

In the Cupid Werewolf Kill variant, there are a total of fourteen identity cards.

Specifically: three Werewolves, two regular Werewolves and one Wolf King.

Four God Positions: Prophet, Witch, Hunter, and Idiot.

Five Villagers, plus the special Cupid and Thief cards.

However, there are only twelve players.

For the person who receives the Thief card, the system randomly assigns them two identity cards.

They choose one of the two to become their identity.

In other words, the Thief identity and the card that wasn’t chosen will no longer exist in this game.
