Chapter 29: The Eye and the Fang

How many people could actually sleep tonight?

Inside Dieyu’s small wooden cabin, the situation was completely different from Yi Mo’s.

At this moment, she was wearing only a camisole and pink lace panties.

Her curvaceous figure was clearly visible, and her long legs were flawless.

Humming a soft tune, she looked at the soft bed covered in a dense pile of dresses, wondering which one to wear tomorrow.

The clothes, bedding, and thin summer quilts were all things Dieyu had purchased from the Game Shop using 10 Points.

Counting the dresses currently filling her wardrobe, she had actually only spent 10 Points.

‘Should I use a face mask?’

Dieyu placed a finger against her lips and tilted her head, blinking.

She looked a bit confused, but she quickly brushed it off.

‘Oh, it seems there’s no water…’

She quickly abandoned the idea and went back to contemplating which dress to wear.

She looked as though she wasn’t worried at all about dying tonight.

As she was hesitating, her gaze suddenly landed on the Candy Cigarette box on the bed, which looked somewhat out of place.

The corners of her mouth curled upward.

‘Shiba Daye… he really is interesting…’

She picked up the Candy Cigarette and opened the box, looking at the candies that were indistinguishable from real cigarettes.

She felt a bit of excitement.

‘I’d like to see if they’re sweet.’

‘Unfortunately, it’s not time yet.’

She pinched her small earlobe.

With that, she gathered all the dresses on the bed and stuffed them into the already crowded wardrobe.

She pulled out a black lace camisole dress, her eyes flashing with a strange light.

“Then… I’ll wear this tonight!”

To match, she changed into a set of black lingerie and walked toward the door.

***

Inside the Ordinary Girl Village Chief’s room.

She was currently sitting on her own mat, looking at the items laid out on the floor with a gloomy expression.

A sinister smile played on her lips.

“Hehehe, just give up. You can’t win!”

She continued, “Hmph, what kind of trash thinks they’re worthy of making me surrender?”

“Die!”

Then, she took a black piece from a small box and placed it on the Go board in front of her.

The white side’s large dragon formation immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.

It turned out that the Ordinary Girl Village Chief was playing Go against herself.

Judging by the board covered in pieces, it was clear how serious and invested she was!

30 minutes later, she finally finished the game with a sense of satisfaction.

She suddenly froze and cried out, “Oh… it’s already this late!”

“I actually forgot about the important thing!”

She then retrieved her Game Card from the System.

It was a silver, shimmering card.

Without a doubt, it was an SR Card with an effect that was certainly not weak!

[Eye of Truth]

[Effect: Allows you to view the identity of one player in this match, but you cannot reveal this Game Card.]

[Card Description: With this card, you are the MVP of this game! Even if you don’t find a single Werewolf, can’t it help you find a trustworthy teammate? Of course, if you are a Wolf, you can also try to see if you can discover a God Position! Limited to this game.]

Compared to the mocking tone of Yi Mo’s card description, the description for the Ordinary Girl Village Chief’s card was much gentler.

It was unclear if the System was deliberately targeting Yi Mo or if Yi Mo was just naturally prone to being hated.

The Ordinary Girl Village Chief did not hesitate.

With a trace of excitement on her face, she activated the card.

“Hehehe, of course I’m choosing him.”

“Come on, let me see what you actually are!”

As the [Eye of Truth] flashed with a brilliant light, that person’s Identity Card and text description appeared before her eyes.

The Ordinary Girl Village Chief stared for a moment.

Then, she clutched her stomach and rolled around on the floor, laughing rudely.

“Hahaha… Hahaha…!!!”

“This is hilarious! This is too funny!”

“To think…”

“To think he’s a…”

Just as she was laughing her hardest, her expression suddenly shifted and became incredibly gloomy.

She lay on the floor, clicked her tongue, and muttered, ‘Tsk… how boring.’

As the clock struck 12:00 AM.

The Werewolves received a prompt from the System.

[The deep night has arrived. The slaughter begins.]

***

With the arrival of midnight, the Werewolves received the System prompt and emerged almost immediately.

By unspoken agreement, they met at the circular table in the center.

The mid-autumn night air was already quite chilly.

Originally, the bright moon should have been hanging high in the sky.

However, perhaps because a sudden rain was coming, increasing dark clouds blocked out the stars and the enchanting waning moon.

Two figures emerged from the trees on either side.

No…

They could not be called human!

Their bodies were covered in deep blue fur, and while they appeared lean, their frames were well-defined and clearly packed with explosive power.

The sharp claws on their hands glinted with a cold light.

Both stood over 6 feet tall!

Werewolf A sat on the circular table and laughed.

“Heh, you did a great job acting like such a nice guy!”

Werewolf B approached, flexing his claws.

“Same to you. You didn’t attract anyone’s attention, so you’re safer than I am.”

“But if we’re talking about hiding well and tricking everyone, shouldn’t we mention that Wolf King?”

Hearing this, Werewolf A looked annoyed.

“Tsk, that probably isn’t acting. That’s just her personality.”

“She’s just being too slow. She’s taking forever to come out.”

“She couldn’t have fallen asleep, could she?!”

“Dammit!”

Werewolf B checked the System time.

Since 10 minutes had already passed, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Haha… she’s a girl, after all. It’s normal for her to be scared of this kind of scene and hide. Today is only the first day, so it doesn’t really matter.”

The Werewolf grinned, revealing rows of sharp fangs that could easily tear a human body apart.

They were truly the ultimate weapons.

Werewolf A spat on the ground.

“Bah! You’re playing a Death Game, yet you still want to keep your hands clean?”

“I’m going to go find her!”

Werewolf A started toward the Wolf King’s cabin, but Werewolf B stopped him.

“Don’t go. Didn’t the System say we can only choose one cabin door to destroy and kill one player?”

“If she doesn’t open her door, are you going to let this chance to eliminate someone go to waste?”

Hearing this, Werewolf A felt a surge of anger and violently slammed a claw into a nearby tree.

Crack!

The tree, which was as thick as an adult’s thigh, was snapped clean at the trunk and toppled over.

After venting his frustration, Werewolf A felt the sense of unparalleled power, which gave him a rush of pleasure.

His mood improved significantly.

He stopped worrying about the Wolf King and spoke to Werewolf B.

“Fine, forget that useless waste. If there’s a chance tomorrow, I’ll talk to her privately!”

“Hehe, she’s the Wolf King. She can kill someone when she dies. If there’s a chance, letting her be eliminated during the day isn’t a bad option.”

“Though, it’s best to wait two or three days.”

“Otherwise, it’ll be too annoying to let her get a free win by tagging along with us. Hey, who should we kill?”

“The Witch will most likely save someone tonight. Did you figure out who looks like the Witch?”

The Witch had two potions.

During the night, they could save one person or poison one person.

Generally, if a Werewolf killed the Witch, the Witch could not save themselves.

While the rules of this game didn’t explicitly forbid self-saving, it didn’t change the fact that the Witch remained the Werewolves’ primary target.

Just because something wasn’t written in the System rules didn’t mean it was allowed or forbidden.

It was simply an unknown.

Werewolf B said, “I haven’t identified the Witch, but someone definitely looks like they’re holding a God Card.”

Werewolf A was delighted to hear this.

“It looks like you’re a reliable teammate. If everyone were like the Wolf King, this game would be too difficult. Are you talking about Baiduren?”

Werewolf B replied, “His identity is still uncertain. I suspect he might be Cupid or a Commoner.”

“Given his appearance and personality, if he had a God Card, he definitely would have fought Shiba Daye for the Village Chief position. He wouldn’t have backed down in the end.”

“I might not have much, but I’m quite good at reading people.”

Werewolf A nodded.

“For some reason, compared to that Shiba Daye who seems a bit off in the head, I feel like Baiduren is very dangerous. His gaze is too aggressive, and he looks too smart.”

“But it doesn’t matter. The Witch will likely save someone today anyway, so it’s the same no matter who we kill.”

“By the way, you don’t have a lover identity, do you?”

Werewolf A was not part of a couple.

The annoying part about the Werewolf Kill setup with Cupid was the potential for a third-party faction.

This happened if Cupid chose two people to be lovers—one from the good faction and one from the Werewolf faction.

If it came down to the end and they were about to win, but one Werewolf turned out to be a traitor who conspired with a lover in the good faction to vote their own teammates out, it would be infuriating.

Werewolf B was smart and slick, and Werewolf A knew it, so he had to confirm.

Werewolf B responded, “Brother, do I look like the type Cupid would choose?”

Werewolf A laughed.

“True. I’m not a lover either, so don’t worry!”

“Anyway, who is this person you think has a God Card?”

“Let’s go take him out!”

Werewolf B grinned.

“Boss Qian!”

Seeing Werewolf B walking toward Boss Qian’s cabin, Werewolf A frowned slightly.

He felt like he had misheard and couldn’t help but ask, “Wait, why him?”

“He’s just someone who validated Shiba Daye’s identity to suck up to him so he wouldn’t be targeted for elimination!”

“He didn’t stand out at all today. Isn’t it highly likely he’s just a Commoner?”

Werewolf B walked with his hands behind his back and said meaningfully, “Brother, you misjudged him!”

“He told everyone he’s a Merchant, and a good one at that.”

“To verify if he was lying, I chatted with him for a bit this afternoon and evening. He indeed has a lot of experience in business.”

“How should I put it? He’s not innovative, but he’s very experienced. He acts exactly like someone who has been in business for many years.”

“However, if he really has been in business for decades, how could he waste a crucial Game Card just to gain the Hunter’s favor?”

Werewolf A asked, “Couldn’t it be that he thought Shiba Daye might be a Wolf? Maybe he did it to prove that and to make sure people wouldn’t look down on him?”

Werewolf B continued to lead the way, his tone deep.

“No, no, no. The essence of a merchant is to seek profit. They are selfish and focus on maximizing gains.”

“As the saying goes, no merchant is not a crook.”

“Especially for someone who has been in business for years.”

“Compared to getting everyone’s favor at the start, that decent Game Card of his would have been much more valuable for saving his own life if he ran into danger during the day!”

“Yet, he didn’t do that!”
