vidong felt like he had truly become Li Xu’s plaything.
He thought to himself that this time, if he still couldn’t detect any problem with Li Xu’s statements, he’d have to try harder to listen.
But the harder he tried, the more unlucky he became.
This time again, he couldn’t find any fault in Li Xu’s words.
As for the other player who was trying to duel Li Xu over the Prophet role, it was even worse—completely unskilled.
So in the end, vidong very timidly cast his vote for Li Xu once more.
Watching the shining badge above Li Xu’s avatar, vidong only felt dizzy and dazed.
He had never suffered such misery in the game before.
When it was his turn to speak as Gold Water, he spoke with a slight sense of resignation: “First, I’m on the good side. Second, I think Player Six is lying to me, but I can’t find her flaw. Third, I have no other way.”
A mere commoner, he had completely lost all will to survive.
Live chat:
【w don’t wanna live anymore】
【When have I ever suffered like this】
【Mao Xu! Bad woman!!】
【Hahaha, Mao Xu really is so bad, but I like it】
【vw: What else do you want from me? Do you want me to forgive you like a father?】
Fortunately, Li Xu’s statements remained steady.
vidong really didn’t want to believe her, but every time she spoke, he felt she must be his unmatched Prophet.
When it was Li Xu’s turn to speak, her first sentence was: “My Gold Water thinks I’m lying and says he can’t find my flaw.”
Her tone was calm, as usual, impossible to tell if she was lying or not.
But there was a trace of puzzlement in her voice as she addressed Player Three: “How could I have no flaw? Player Three.”
vidong felt that Li Xu’s words put him in a bind; he was even curious how she planned to expose a flaw herself since, by all logic, it didn’t fit her style.
【What flaw?】
【Didn’t Mao Xu say: only the True Prophet has flaws?】
However, Li Xu’s next sentence shattered vidong completely: “You are my flaw. You, are, my, flaw.”
【“Flaw”】
【I’m dying laughing, who noticed vidong’s face just completely fell】
vidong’s face dropped, and it seemed like a dark aura was rising from the few strands of messy hair on his head.
Yet Li Xu’s next words twisted the scene once more: “But it doesn’t matter. He really is my Gold Water. Even if he doesn’t vote for me and tries to point me out, he’s still my Gold Water.”
“No way around it—once you’ve verified your Gold Water yourself, you can only forgive him no matter what.”
【T_T So touched】 @Infinite Good Stories, only on Jinjiang Literature City
【What a way to win hearts】
She finished the joke and then continued the dialogue with Player Three.
“Player Three, listen carefully why I am the Prophet.”
What followed was a smooth, flawless analysis.
She openly named four Wolves, including a certain Deep Water Reverse Wolf, whose hair instantly stood on end, doubting if all his hundreds of attempts at reverse wolf play had been in vain.
If Li Xu was fabricating baseless logic when playing the Wolves, when playing Prophet, she was like a great detective, pointing out every connection and loophole in everyone’s statements, then thoroughly sorting out the relationships.
vidong’s remaining doubts vanished once more.
Especially after analyzing the entire round’s relationships, Li Xu said: “Now do you understand, Player Three?”
Her words were obviously meant for all the good players, but as soon as she said them, it felt as if they were spoken directly to vidong alone.
In vidong’s mind, Li Xu was the image of a cold-faced goddess.
This feeling of being “specially addressed” and “specially taught” lifted vidong’s spirits.
He didn’t even know why, but on the small screen, vidong’s originally downcast expression instantly brightened.
He stared at the screen, and when he heard Li Xu ask “Now do you understand?” his eyes lit up.
【Kids are like this, just need a little coaxing】
【Do you now completely believe Mao Xu?】
vidong: “Now I believe her, she’s definitely the True Prophet.”
【You believe again】
【But seriously, Mao Xu is unbeatable even if a celestial comes】
【vw: Even if deceived, it’s fine as long as she puts thought into me】
Seeing the chat flood with “Even if deceived, it’s fine as long as she puts thought into me,” vidong surprisingly didn’t get angry.
Instead, he quietly started a “prize guessing” game, asking: —Do you think Mao Xu is the True Prophet? Please choose “Yes” or “No.”
Just two minutes after opening the poll, the red bar representing “Yes” had already crushed the blue “No” bar into a thin line.
vidong sneered: “You said I was being fooled, then why are you all choosing the left side?”
“What are you stubbornly denying? You obviously can’t tell if she’s lying! Words can deceive, but voting patterns cannot.”
vidong’s words landed with authority, causing the Livestream Room viewers to burst out laughing.
【Sigh, we’re just making the classic mistake all women make】
【I never said I think Mao Xu isn’t the Prophet (side-eye finger)】
【Ahem ahem, so what?】
【Lost is lost, Werewolf Kill is a game of listening to statements. Although she gave Gold Water to vw, I trust my intuition this time. If I’m wrong, I admit I suck (sliding kneel)】
Zhou Yi’s Livestream Room fans were also watching.
Seeing vidong and the chat’s lively exchange, they couldn’t help but feel moved:
【I knew it, Mao Xu is truly a streaming genius. Playing with anyone makes the stream fun】
【Mao Xu tames everything, huh】
【She really has charisma, I can’t criticize even though she ditched Zhou Zhou】
【Wuwu, suddenly I feel that Zhou Zhou and her as a CP wouldn’t be bad. Why was I blind then?】
【Can Zhou Zhou join their Werewolf Kill? A triangle is the most stable relationship】
Zhou Yi read these comments and felt a little strange.
He wanted to join too, but he had just sent Li Xu a message and she hadn’t replied.
Soon, this game ended again under Li Xu’s leadership.
Clearly, although players who played with Li Xu previously were suspicious of her, they basically chose to side with her under her textbook-level statements.
Just like vidong—no choice but to believe, and if you lose, it’s because you’re bad.
Both the Witch and the Hunter sided with her.
Li Xu perfectly survived to the end and pushed out the last remaining Wolf.
***
Daytime game ended, good side won.
Seeing the eight characters appear on the screen, vidong and the Livestream Room viewers were so moved they nearly cried tears of joy.
【Won! Finally won!】
【Who understands the feeling of getting more nervous the better she speaks?】
【Damn it, holding it in all game, I want to shout loudly: Mom, I’m not a coward, I guessed right!】
This round ended, and ten out of twelve people in the game were paying attention to Li Xu.
“Damn, first time having such a smooth game.”
“This Prophet, this way of speaking, if I dared to expose her, I’d be the first to go.”
“No way, being a Wolf and getting hit with such a downgrade strike…”
“How’s Player Three? Player Three was Gold Water for two rounds, hahaha, do you two know each other?”
Li Xu replied: “Friends, but don’t worry, no identity exchange.”
“Hahaha, seeing Player Three’s confused vibe, doesn’t look like you two swapped identities.”
Just as vidong was about to say something, Li Xu left the room.
Then, vidong immediately received a new room invitation—Li Xu invited him again.
“Too many people in the previous room, want to say a few things privately.” Li Xu’s tone was calm.
vidong felt a bit nervous, recalling his earlier “paranoid” attitude, scratching his head awkwardly.
“Did I play kind of sloppy this round?”
Li Xu said honestly: “A bit.”
【Lies are not a blade, truth is the sharp knife】
【w: Face looks pale】
“So you invited me in to start another game?”
Li Xu: “Too tired, don’t want to play anymore, no fun.”
Hearing those words “no fun,” vidong’s eyelids twitched.
He hurriedly asked: “Are you annoyed that I’m bad?”
Li Xu: “No, after playing many games it’s always the same routine. When speaking time gets long, player quality varies. Although I can win, I have no patience for things without challenge.”
【Though I can win, no challenge means no patience, bking is too heavy, I’m dying】
【vv: Then what am I?】
vidong: “Alright then……………….”
Li Xu: “Next time when playing with others, if you get fooled, just remember this—In this game, don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do.”
“Words can lie, but votes don’t, got it?” @Infinite Good Stories, only on Jinjiang Literature City
“Also, how do you feel about me giving you Gold Water today?”
vidong thought seriously, then said: “You’re terrifying.”
He scratched his messy hair, speaking sincerely.
Hearing this, Li Xu laughed.
Listening to the girl’s faint laughter transmitted through the electricity into his ears, vidong felt a little stunned.
Perhaps because she never showed her face and everyone only heard her voice during speaking, her already pleasant voice sounded even more beautiful.
In fact, the viewers had added even more filters to her image—in spite of having seen Li Xu on stream as chubby, at this moment they still imagined the person behind the mic as a tall, slender, fair-skinned beauty with sharp features, just as described in novels.
“Terrifying? Good.”
“Panic is the best calm.”
“Once you get used to being terrified, your brain will come back to life… you won’t be dragged along by whatever someone says.”
“Understand?”
vidong’s mind buzzed.
He asked somewhat dumbly: “So you really are teaching me.”
“Of course, I said it from the start.”
“You learn how to play this game, and next time when you’re playing alone, you won’t be bullied.”
The girl’s voice remained calm as always, but perfectly normal. @Infinite Good Stories, only on Jinjiang Literature City
Not bullied, huh?
At that moment… vidong suddenly felt his heart race a little.
Luckily, the Livestream Room’s image was blurry and filtered, so no one could see his ears turn red.
