After that strange and bizarre “confession” was resolved, Zhou Yi called Xu Min to join Li Xu’s Livestream and play Werewolf Kill together.
This time, vidong seemed a bit quiet. Since entering the room, he barely spoke. When Li Xu talked to him, he only replied with a couple of short sentences.
Zhou Yi and Xu Min, on the other hand, were completely the opposite.
Extremely lively.
Zhou Yi said, “We downloaded this app a long time ago and tried it several times. It doesn’t seem too difficult.”
Xu Min added, “Finally, we get to play with you, streamer. Thought we wouldn’t have the chance.”
Li Xu’s tone was calm, “Alright then, let’s see how good you are.”
Because these two actively spoke to Li Xu, she didn’t have many chances to talk to vidong.
In the small screen, vidong looked somewhat down.
He didn’t have the bright, sparkling eyes he had when playing with Li Xu yesterday.
The mom fans in vidong’s Livestream comforted him not to be upset.
But their comforting words were:
【It’s okay, it was originally a game for three, now it’s turned into a movie for four.】
【Even though there are more people and fewer chances to interact with Boss Mao Xu, she’s not only tricking you.】
【But speaking of Mao Xu not only fooling w, vw seems even sadder.】
The barrage of messages in the Livestream made vidong somewhat restless and distracted.
Li Xu proceeded with the game as usual.
Since all three were streamers, to prevent viewers from maliciously revealing each other’s roles by chatting across Livestream Rooms, all three activated the barrage-blocking mode before the game started.
This mode didn’t stop viewers from sending messages; it only prevented the streamers themselves from seeing the messages.
In other words, the audience could still talk and even communicate across Livestream Rooms, but the streamers couldn’t see what was being said.
The low pressure around vidong was almost visible to the naked eye.
However, the moment he received his role card, vidong froze—he actually drew the True Prophet card.
【Damn, the unlucky card】
【vw is going to be pissed, haha】
【Could it be Mao Xu and the other switched roles?】
Yes, vidong also thought the True Prophet was a cursed card because he had drawn it many times before and never had a good game.
Just when he was in a bad mood this time, his first reaction was to just give up.
But as he thought of giving up, he suddenly recalled Li Xu’s teaching from yesterday.
vidong felt a bit invigorated. On the first night, he didn’t hesitate and immediately checked Li Xu, which turned out to be Gold Water.
When he confirmed Li Xu was Gold Water, vidong felt like he had already won.
He thought, with Li Xu’s level, she would definitely recognize that he was the real True Prophet, and as a fellow good player, she would lead him to victory.
But on the next day’s sheriff speech, as luck would have it, Zhou Yi was the first to reveal his role in a counterclaim, and he spoke before vidong.
What’s more, he also gave Li Xu Gold Water.
Li Xu stayed silent during the sheriff phase.
Zhou Yi’s voice was pleasant, that clear youthful tone.
His last sentence was directed at Li Xu, who was silent: “Number One, find me and vote for me, okay?”
【Hello, you’re officially qualified】
【Now your speech is purely purposeful, Zhou Zhou—men seem to have an innate talent for lying, huh?】
【Werewolf Zhou Yi extends an olive branch to you】
Maybe from watching too many of Li Xu’s Werewolf Kill videos, his speech actually showed a bit of Li Xu’s calm and composed style.
So after Zhou Yi finished speaking, several players stood up, saying they thought he was the real True Prophet.
vidong knew that if he didn’t speak better, Zhou Yi would overshadow him.
So while waiting to speak, vidong grew inexplicably irritated and wondered why he had to play Werewolf Kill with this guy he barely knew and suddenly compete for Mao Xu’s favor as Gold Water.
The more irritated he became, the worse his state was.
So when it was his turn to speak, he didn’t sound like a True Prophet at all.
Although he tried hard to analyze the Werewolf layout, his low, somewhat depressed tone sounded to the good players like a Werewolf with no will to survive.
And what a coincidence, the Prophet had checked Number One as Gold Water, and vidong checked Number One as Gold Water too.
He finished his speech helplessly, seeing the time running out, and begged Li Xu once more, “Number One, vote for me. I don’t think anyone else will.”
The words sounded pitiful, like a desperate plea.
In short, after vidong finished speaking, the next two players expressed that they would not side with vidong and were more willing to support Zhou Yi.
Xu Min was the harshest on vidong, trying to stamp him into the Werewolf pit so deep he couldn’t get up.
His style was more aggressive, unlike Zhou Yi’s calm and steady approach similar to Li Xu’s.
He said loudly, “Number Nine definitely isn’t the Prophet. Why would he check Number One? A real Prophet wouldn’t give Gold Water like that.”
“He’s clearly trying to hide his perspective. I’ll save my last speech and vote for Number Four. Judging by status and layout, Number Nine is on a whole different level than Number Four. Number One must vote for Number Four. Voting for Number Nine is just giving it away.”
The viewers in the Livestream finally caught on.
This was a joint attack on vidong. Zhou Yi and Xu Min were clearly on the same side, working together to kill vidong.
***
At the same time, they were both vying for Li Xu’s favor as Gold Water.
Though it seemed like Werewolf Kill, it was actually a thrilling and intense palace intrigue—they were all fighting for Li Xu’s attention.
【Is this Love and Werewolf Kill?】
【Poor vw queen, looks like the noble consorts Zhou and Xu teamed up to bully her. Emperor, say something!】
【Mao Xu, Mao Xu! Hurry and back ₩ up, wahh】
During the voting phase, vidong’s heart raced as he stared at the screen, eager to see who Li Xu would vote for.
—Li Xu would vote for her mom.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi in the other Livestream also stared fixedly at the screen, looking somewhat nervous.
Soon, the voting results were announced.
Everyone except the sheriff voted for Number Four—Li Xu included.
Zhou Yi was unanimously elected sheriff.
Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, while vidong looked like a defeated rooster, his eyes and expression drooping.
Had Li Xu been fooled by Zhou Yi too?
Was he really playing that badly?
That thought made vidong feel terrible.
Even when he had been bought out by teammates or targeted by all the good players before, he never felt this bad.
In his memory, Li Xu was a godlike presence.
She had said before that votes don’t lie.
But Li Xu had indeed been checked as good by him and yet ended up voting for Zhou Yi.
That meant, as a good player, she believed Zhou Yi was the real True Prophet.
It was hard to imagine that Li Xu’s judgment was wrong.
So the only possibility was that his speech was so bad even Li Xu couldn’t recognize him as the real True Prophet.
Thinking this, vidong really wanted to give up… the feeling was awful because he felt like he was overshadowed the moment he met his competitor.
He had never experienced such interpersonal setbacks before.
In the new round of speeches, the entire room targeted vidong.
And this time, vidong really had no will to survive: “Go ahead and vote for me. I don’t want to play anymore anyway.”
“Believe it or not, I really checked Number One. I don’t have the sheriff badge, no need to play the sheriff badge strategy.”
After saying this, vidong cut off his mic, the low energy making people lose the desire to argue with him.
But Xu Min still kept hammering him.
After Xu Min’s speech, people really wanted to follow him and vote vidong out on the first day.
Even the barrage seemed to think Li Xu trusted Zhou Yi and not vidong.
Only Li Xu’s Livestream viewers knew she was the Witch and had saved vidong on the first night.
She even told the viewers in the Livestream, “Witch doesn’t go on sheriff, just hide your identity well.”
But vidong didn’t know that; he was just caught up in feeling bad.
When it was Li Xu’s turn to speak, vidong held out hope: maybe Li Xu voted wrong, maybe she recognized him as the True Prophet.
Sadly, Li Xu said immediately, “Four is Prophet, Nine is Werewolf.”
At those words, many fans in vidong’s Livestream felt heartbroken.
【Did she really not recognize him? Wahh】
【Don’t worry! I just checked Mao Xu’s Livestream; she’s the Witch, she gave the Silver Water on the first night!】
【?? What, some moves?】
【So now, is Mao Xu lying or lying to Zhou Yi?】
【Maybe she’s lying to both and we’ve been fooled too.】
【Remember what she told Zhou Yi before? She said it’s a guaranteed lie.】
Her voice was as cold and beautiful as ever, but what she said made vidong feel miserable.
“I am double Gold Water, the highest good role in the entire game,” Li Xu said.
“Number Eleven is an ironclad Werewolf. Vote him out.”
Xu Min was secretly pleased that Li Xu sided with Zhou Yi, but the next second he heard Li Xu point at himself.
Yes, Number Eleven was Xu Min.
He felt his hair stand on end. Why was he suddenly targeted?
“I trust Number Four’s analytical ability. He must have recognized Number Eleven as the substitute Werewolf.”
“So if I vote out Number Eleven today and Number Four overturns the vote, then Eleven is definitely a Werewolf. Witch can poison directly.”
When she said this, some players gasped.
Such confidence from Gold Water, even more arrogant than two Prophets.
But there was nothing they could do. She was double Gold Water, a solid good player, and her logical analysis of Eleven was clear and flawless.
When her focus landed on Number Eleven, everyone automatically ignored the “fake-claim Werewolf” vidong who had been attacked all game.
After her speech, the good players all believed Eleven was indeed an ironclad Werewolf.
No matter who was the Prophet between Four and Nine, Eleven was a Werewolf.
And Li Xu said to keep vidong alive.
Because as long as vidong survived, her magnificent Prophet Four wouldn’t die.
She also instructed the Guard to protect the cards that had exploded in the outer positions and told the Witch to freely poison among Numbers Five and Eight.
Her speech sounded like a completely clueless Villager card, not like someone who knew vidong had been targeted the first night as the Witch.
The viewers in Li Xu’s Livestream were already getting goosebumps.
【Feels like the boss is playing a huge game of chess.】
Zhou Yi wasn’t sure if Li Xu really believed he was the True Prophet.
He had analyzed Li Xu’s Werewolf Kill videos frame by frame and was almost certain she could find the real Werewolves.
But vidong’s speech was just so bad.
Maybe—Li Xu really trusted him.
The thought made Zhou Yi’s heart pound with excitement.
He had to make Li Xu completely trust him and push Xu Min—his Werewolf teammate—out!
So, confident Xu Min was pushed out in the first game.
And unanimously voted out.
Because Li Xu’s speech was too good, his Werewolf teammate didn’t dare vote against the plan.
He angrily messaged Zhou Yi: 【Are you crazy??】
Zhou Yi: 【Hold on. Pushing you out will make Mao Xu trust me completely.】
Xu Min: 【One less round won’t matter? You infected with Mao Xu? Crazy.】
Zhou Yi: 【Too small-minded (shh).】
Though vidong wasn’t voted out, he was already deflated.
That night, not knowing whom to check, he followed Li Xu’s pointer and checked one of the two cards she highlighted.
He ended up checking Number Five—who was a Werewolf.
***
The next morning, Zhou Yi and vidong were both alive, while Numbers Three and Eight were double dead.
Because a Prophet hadn’t died, the Werewolves didn’t dare target the other Prophet.
Zhou Yi, who thought victory was in hand, frowned at the death of his Number Eight Werewolf teammate.
vidong wasn’t stupid; he noticed something wrong—Li Xu didn’t fully side with Zhou Yi.
She hadn’t pushed him out and deliberately targeted Numbers Five and Eight, seemingly to guide him to check their identities.
A vague suspicion gradually clarified in vidong’s mind.
Thinking this, vidong felt goosebumps all over.
When it was his turn to speak, his entire demeanor changed:
“Number Eight’s Witch poison was right. Number Eleven was indeed the Werewolf who left, and Number Five is my check kill. The last two Werewolves are Four and Five.”
“My Gold Water, Number One, you’ve known I’m the Prophet for a while, haven’t you?”
At this moment, his eyes sparkled like a lively, arrogant little dog finally leashed by its master.
When Li Xu spoke, her tone was calm: “I thought you couldn’t tell, Number Nine.”
“I told you, this game is about speech and disguise. Why speak like a beaten dog?”
Though scolded, vidong wasn’t upset at all.
His guess was right! Li Xu was actually on his side.
She just pretended to vote for Zhou Yi because of the situation.
“Number Eight was poisoned by me; I am the Witch.
Number Nine was my Silver Water Prophet on the first night.
To avoid revealing my Witch identity, I temporarily support Number Four because I know that as long as the sheriff phase players feel okay, they will vote for Four.
“After two rounds of speeches, the Werewolf pit is Four, Five, Eight, and Eleven.
Last night they thought Number Three was the Witch and killed him—too bad, I’m the Witch.”
Her voice was calm and cold; to vidong’s ears, it sounded like heavenly music.
He had thought he was “isolated” by those two guys and Li Xu, but now he realized Li Xu had been silently helping him all along.
Though she called him a Werewolf, she had been protecting him with her actions, even telling him where to check.
In the end, she led the team to vote out the two who bullied her.
His heartbeat quickened, and his mood soared.
Previously, vidong hated when people turned competitive games into social games.
Now, he suddenly understood those players.
Being carried by a pro player, protected, guided, and taught while scolded felt amazing.
He even felt this was better than the highest identity of false Gold Water in the first game.
This game was a thrilling rollercoaster, and he was directly protected and schemed by Li Xu.
It felt insanely good.
Flushed with excitement, vidong’s face felt a bit hot.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi, hit by a last-minute reversal, was dumbfounded and then smiled bitterly.
He’d wondered how Li Xu so easily trusted him.
Turns out it was all a disguise.
Why wasn’t he the one on the same team as Li Xu?
Thinking about how vidong was protected by Li Xu in so many ways made Zhou Yi feel uneasy.
“Next time I won’t dare target Boss Mao Xu.”
“Sigh, I really am Werewolf. No choice. Number One is too strong. Just vote me out.”
He had barely finished when his Werewolf teammate Number Five self-exploded.
At this point in Li Xu’s speech, the real Prophets were all alive, two Werewolves were dead, and the remaining two Werewolves openly on the field could no longer win.
Li Xu’s identity and logic were so strong that even if she sided with Number Nine as a Werewolf, the good players would still follow her charge.
Number Five’s final words: “Can’t win. Really can’t. Number One played too well.”
【Feels like vw became the heroine of a romance drama, and Mao Xu is vw’s loyal knight, wahh】
【Zhou Yi: I’m really stupid, really】
【w wins big. The more emo at the start, the happier now】
【LOL, little brat’s cocky now. This time Mao Xu has your back, or you’d be done for】
【vw: The game for four has finally become a game between me and vv】
【Childhood friend (V), sudden arrival (x)】
【Ahhh, this ship is killing me!】
As soon as the game ended, Li Xu received a flashy Moyin number one gift.
“Thanks to vidong for sending the Moyin number one gift.” vidong excitedly came to Li Xu’s Livestream to send gifts.
Right after Li Xu finished, another Moyin number one effect appeared in the Livestream.
“Thanks to ‘Werewolf Kill Official Account’ for sending the Moyin number one gift.” the girl thanked routinely.
“Huh? Werewolf Kill Official Account?”
【Damn, the official is here?!】
Not only did the official come, but they also wanted to cooperate with Li Xu.
